NATIONAL DAY OF BLOGGER SILENCE UPDATE: Remember Seth Allen
FROM AN UNDISCLOSED LOCATION On the morning of Thursday, May 17, I was planning to go to Camp David, 15 miles from my Maryland home, to cover the G8 Summit. I had never even heard of Brett Kimberlin.

Meanwhile, a radio host in Iowa said that the candidate had made "awkward" and "inappropriate" comments to staffers at the station during a visit earlier this year. Cain has already denounced the two previous allegations of sexual harassment against him as false, and suggested at least one of the women was a poor worker. But an ABC News investigation found that both women are highly respected professionals who have gone on to successful careers in and around government. One woman in Maryland has worked for years as a public [...]

In response to the Supreme Court’s ruling in the recent Citizens United v. FEC case — which overturned campaign finance law that barred corporations and unions from paying unlimited sums for political ads and was widely hailed by conservatives as a victory for first-amendment rights — Democratic leaders in Congress have begun taking steps to circumvent the decision. Reports the Financial Times: Senior Democratic lawmakers proposed legislation yesterday that would force some of the most powerful political organizations in the US – including the US Chamber of Commerce on the right and MoveOn.org on the left – to reveal the names of the corporations and individuals who fund their advertising campaigns. The proposal would also force US corporations to notify shareholders [...]
