I don't do Tumblr with my site so I'm not well versed, but it seems this might be the best format? Like the very first 99% Tumblr where anyone could submit but the responsible site owners monitored the content we all saw? <br /><br />If we have time for all this work to make BatKid's dreams come true (yay!) and have the time to make LEGO recreations of Eddie Izzard skits about Darth Vader (love Eddie!), then surely some progressive has the time execute this idea. Please advise. <br /><br />Daily Political Graphic would feature black background, with very politically illustrative graphics and footnotes with links back to the original study/article/source. Be as circumspect as Michael Moore when he makes his movies so people can't dismiss the info out of hand. Apparently we have no time to absorb much so effective graphics—infographics, if you will—can really help to get the point across. Our brains are changing with technology: we need to adapt. Me gusta our president but the ol' constitutional scholar doesn't seem to have spent much time in the marketing department/business schools of his respective academic institutions. You got a message? Ok, sell it to me. <br /><br />Remember these? My favorite graphics to seed this Tumblr:<br />- the image from Nancy Pelosi's office with the blue and red lines showing info about the rate of job loss between end of Bush and start of Obama admins<br />- the one about the budgets proposed by the Dems and Repubs with blue and gray circles that illustrated the relative size of the various tiers of tax cuts; obviously, the Repubs cut to the highest income bracket is the takeaway here<br />- so many more that make the point about the Democratic party project <br /><br />Does any progressive reading this comment have time to help/do this type of project ? mzradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09088459075964125914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-75874312218239007352013-11-17T16:18:39.374-05:002013-11-17T16:18:39.374-05:00Well said.Well said.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10651455277401911296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-52302065426563441572013-11-16T17:09:18.456-05:002013-11-16T17:09:18.456-05:00By the way, I got the blank screen thing, too.

Can we manage that?</i><br /><br />That's a really good question, an important one. I personally think that people often respond to charities putting on a show, when they don't otherwise, because they link entertainment quality & passion with a stamp of general legitimacy. People like being empathetic, but are quite wary of being ripped off. Government programs generally don't inspire the gut trust level that showbiz does, and that's not only an American phenomenon, it may be seen in the future as THE American phenomenon: a level of Bread and Circuses that would make the average Roman citizen blush.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10944458838509326421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-81627046417100892102013-11-16T12:30:16.997-05:002013-11-16T12:30:16.997-05:00At least it was slightly different from the usual ...At least it was slightly different from the usual kid running a football through a field of players that were told to stand aside.Danphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06368147966029831819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-17680703673823731432013-11-16T12:02:31.999-05:002013-11-16T12:02:31.999-05:00Curmudgeon away.
