A new Trade Secrets podcast.  

Economist: "As Mr Bush has often said, there is a need in life for accountability. He has refused to impose it himself, and so voters should, in our view, impose it on him, given a viable alternative. John Kerry, for all the doubts about him, would be in a better position to carry on with America's great tasks." 

I didn't get to watch last night's West Wing, but I hear it's pretty radical. Anyone have a Torrent I can download? (Got one. Downloading from TVTorrents. It's also available here, here and here.) Next problem, I've downloaded the file from TVTorrents, its name is ww.hdtv-lol.avi. I tried playing it in Windows Media Player, it can't find the codec. Same with every other player on my ThinkPad and my Sony Vaio. What am I missing? I really want to see what happened to Leo. A clue, I can hear the audio fine, just no video. 

Larry Lessig will lead a BloggerCon session on law and blogging. 

Minnesota Public Radio: "Former Minnesota Gov Jesse Ventura is silent no more on why he's supporting John Kerry for president." 

Inquirer: "Get ready, baby, it's The Dawn & Drew Show." 

Dawn & Drew will be at BloggerCon. 

Watching the Kerry rally in Madison, gives me goose bumps. They say it's the largest political rally ever in Wisconsin. Bruce Springsteen will play.  

Political Wire: "What if you show up to vote next Tuesday and election workers say you are not registered?" 

Boston Globe: "A sprawling Nation of fans can finally exhale." 

BBC: "The official re-election site of President George W Bush is blocking visits from overseas users for 'security reasons'." 

Netcraft: "Many thousands of people living outside the US who were previously unaware of the site are now earnestly seeking out ways of accessing it." 

Russell Beattie offers a theory why Apple isn't running movies on iPods.
