The ad directly calls out the coal industry on their ridiculous claims that coal is clean, as only the Coen brothers can.

Very humourous.

What could be more important at this critical time? A recent National Intelligence report stated that the effects of global warming are now our #1 security threat. Fear tactic? I think not. The threat is real, and we must take swift and bold action to address it. Each of us can, and must participate in this effort.

I have really been enjoying the DNC proceedings this year. The DNC has a web site where they are live streaming the whole event in high definition. It is almost like being there, and you don’t have to listen to TV pundits add their two cents worth, or worse yet, talk over the convention speakers. They have a fairly complete and correct schedule for each day posted on the site as well.

Today’s events look fantastic. The venue is moving to Invesco Field for the final day, and the tickets were ‘sold out’ in less than 24 hours. The schedule lists Jennifer Hudson, will.i.am, John Legend, Stevie Wonder, Sheryl Crow and Michael McDonald as the musical performers for the evening, and one of the bloggers at TPM also mentioned that Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen will perform also.

The featured speakers for tonight are Gov Bill Richardson, VP Al Gore, and Democratic Presidential Nominee Barack Obama. It will be a night worth remembering I am sure.
