		<description>The digs!
We live in a 2 bedroom with loft in the SOMA district and are currently looking for a room mate to take over the loft (there is no door and it is open to the living room). The entire place is four levels with my room at the bottom, I have a private backyard that is needed for Abby. Street level there is a small one car garage the we use for storage. The living room, Kitchen, full bathroom and Rick's room are the next level up. There is a ton of light and it is quite cozy. You will either love it or hate it. The Loft is a good size able to fit a queen size bed, dresser, night stand and table. It has a full closet as well.
Neighborhood:
Brainwash Cafe (laundromat), Tryptic, Basil, Cassady's Pub , lots of other little restaurants clubs and bars all with in walking distance.
Roommates:
Daniel is a 27 year old Freelance Designer who is clean, respectful, and friendly. I am good with people an like to enjoy good company. I have a good sense of humor and like to have a good time. I am not a party animal but enjoy tasty libations on occasions. I have an 80 lbs bulldog name Abby who is quite a character. She enjoys basking in the sun sleeping and gnawing on her bones. She is very friendly and enjoys being loved. She is my responsibility and is always cared for, but occasionally I might need help in feeding her if I go out of town.
Rick is 31 computer programmer who is clean, respectful and friendly. He likes watching bad movies and knows how bad they truly are but loves them anyway. He works an 10 to 7 schedule and is an active bike commuter. He likes hanging out with friends, drinking a bottle of wine, going out to dinner and perfecting his Mii character. He also leads a secret life as Bruce Wayne... </description>

		<title>{ISSUES &gt; BIAS AND BALANCE} - CBS' Rodriguez allowed McCain adviser to claim unchallenged that Obama "has a plan to raise" taxes</title>
		<link>http://articles.world-of-newave.info/society/issues/business/media/bias-and-balance/cbs-rodriguez-allowed-mccain-adviser-to-claim-unchallenged-2008091515.htm</link>

		<pubDate>Fri, 05 Sep 2008 23:45:41 GMT</pubDate>
		<description>During the September 5 edition of CBS' The Early Show, co-anchor Maggie Rodriguez
did not challenge McCain campaign senior adviser Steve Schmidt's
assertion that "Senator [Barack] Obama has a plan to raise" taxes.
Rodriguez did not note that Obama has proposed
cutting taxes for low- and middle-income families, and McCain's own chief
economic adviser, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, has reportedly said
that it is inaccurate to say that "Barack Obama raises taxes."
According to Obama's "Tax
Fairness Plan," "Barack Obama's plan will provide $80-85 billion
in tax relief to America's
workers, seniors, and homeowners." Obama's proposed tax cuts include
"a new 'Making Work Pay' tax credit of up to $500 per person, or $1,000
per working family," a "universal mortgage credit" which
"will provide the average recipient with approximately $500 per year in
tax savings," and the "eliminat[ion]" of "all income
taxation of seniors making less than $50,000 per year."

In its analysis of Obama's and Sen. John McCain's tax
proposals, the Tax
 Policy Center
concluded
that "Obama would give larger tax cuts to low- and moderate-income
households and pay some of the cost by raising taxes on high-income taxpayers.
In contrast, McCain would cut taxes across the board and give the biggest cuts
to the highest-income households."

Rodriguez also did not challenge Schmidt's claim that
Obama is "against" expanding domestic drilling. In fact, although
Obama's energy
plan states that "with 3 percent of the world's oil reserves,
the U.S. cannot drill our way to energy security," Obama calls domestic
oil and natural gas production "critical to prevent global energy prices
from climbing even higher" and proposes "set[ting] up a process for
early identification of any infrastructure obstacles/shortages or possible
federal permitting process delays to drilling" in Montana, North Dakota,
Texas, Arkansas, and Alaska. 

From the September 5 edition of CBS' The Early
Show:


RODRIGUEZ: Thanks, Jeff. I'm joined now by Steve Schmidt,
John McCain's senior strategist. Good morning, Steve.

SCHMIDT: Good morning, Maggie. It's
great to be with you. 

RODRIGUEZ: Thank you. So, what was John
McCain's strategy last night,
and what do you think he
accomplished?

SCHMIDT: Well, what he wanted to do was talk to the
American people about why he is ready
to be president of the United States.
American people got to hear his remarkable story, his journey from that 4-by-6
foot squalid prison cell in Vietnam
to accepting his party's nomination. He's someone who has fought every major special interest in Washington, somebody
who's put his
country first, and what we have to do to change America is to stop the "me first" politics that you see out of so many
of the Washington politicians. Senator
Obama talks --

RODRIGUEZ: Steve, we heard all this from Senator McCain last night, but I just want to ask you, as I watched the biographical
videos and heard all these personal stories, I was reminded of what Rick Davis, your campaign manager, said this week. This
campaign, this election is not about the issues; it's a composite view of what people will take from -- about the candidates.
Do you think you've focused enough on the issues? 

SCHMIDT: Well, it will certainly be about the issues and
Senator McCain talked
about them last night:
For example, $700 billion a year going overseas to countries who don't like us because of
our dependence on foreign oil. Senator
McCain has a real plan to start moving this country towards energy
independence. We need to drill for more oil here, now. We need to build nuclear
power plants. Senator
Obama is against both. And if you're against both, we will never be
energy independent. Senator
McCain has talked about reducing the wasteful spending in Washington that is bankrupting our
kids' future. Senator
Obama wants to raise spending. Senator
McCain is going to hold the line against tax cuts. Senator Obama has a plan to raise them. So, when we talk about the
people --

RODRIGUEZ: Steve, I don't want
to repeat --

SCHMIDT: Sure.

RODRIGUEZ: I don't want to repeat everything that Senator McCain said last
night 'cause our
viewers heard that already. I want to ask you in the limited time that we have left one more
question about your running mate, Senator
McCain's running mate Sarah Palin. 

SCHMIDT: Isn't she great?

RODRIGUEZ: I know that you raised a million dollars -- I know that you raised a million dollars
after her speech,
so apparently John McCain's supporters think she's great, but Senator Obama's campaign
raised $10 million. What do you think that says about Sarah Palin?

SCHMIDT: Well, I think she did a great job. She gave one of
the great speeches that anybody
has seen in a generation at -- out
of a candidate from either party. She's going to have broad appeal across
the country. She's somebody who understands what working families are
going through. She's been one of the great governors in this country. She's the most popular governor of any governor in the country. And
she's an expert on energy issues and it would be good to have an expert
on energy issues who can help lead this country into energy independence
working with Senator
McCain in the White House. 


RODRIGUEZ: All right. Steve Schmidt, thanks for your time this
morning.

did not challenge McCain campaign senior adviser Steve Schmidt's
assertion that "Senator [Barack] Obama has a plan to raise" taxes.
Rodriguez did not note that Obama has proposed
cutting taxes for low- and middle-income families, and McCain's own chief
economic adviser, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, has reportedly said
that it is inaccurate to say that "Barack Obama raises taxes."
According to Obama's "Tax
Fairness Plan," "Barack Obama's plan will provide $80-85 billion
in tax relief to America's
workers, seniors, and homeowners." Obama's proposed tax cuts include
"a new 'Making Work Pay' tax credit of up to $500 per person, or $1,000
per working family," a "universal mortgage credit" which
"will provide the average recipient with approximately $500 per year in
tax savings," and the "eliminat[ion]" of "all income
taxation of seniors making less than $50,000 per year."

In its analysis of Obama's and Sen. John McCain's tax
proposals, the Tax

		<description>During an interview with McCain campaign
manager Rick Davis on the September 5 edition of MSNBC's Morning Joe in which Davis touted Sen.
John McCain as differing from his party in his support for immigration reform,
at no point did NBC News political director Chuck Todd note that McCain
reversed himself on a key component of immigration reform, aligning himself
more closely with the base of his party.

Todd asked Davis if he is "worried the numbers are
showing that Senator McCain is performing worse among Hispanics than President
Bush," and added moments later: "He is not getting votes that his
record deserves." Davis
replied, in part: "Look what we did as a party. For the last two years,
we've told Hispanic voters that we don't want immigration from the
southern border. ... There's been a nativist discussion in this
country that has hurt our party's ability to attract Hispanic voters."
Todd then asked, "Anything to change it?" Davis replied: "The only one in our
party who can do that and set it right is John McCain." However, at no
point during the discussion did Todd mention that, under pressure from the
Republican base, McCain reversed himself on a key component of immigration
reform, and now says that "we've got to secure the
borders first" -- a position at odds with his prior assertion that border security
could not be disaggregated from other aspects of comprehensive immigration
reform without being rendered ineffective. A November 4, 2007, Associated Press article reporting on McCain's reversal
noted that McCain now "emphasizes securing the borders first," and
also quoted McCain stating: "I understand why you would call it a, quote,
shift. ... I say it is a lesson learned about what the American people's
priorities are. And their priority is to secure the borders." McCain
also stated during a January 30 Republican
presidential primary debate that he would
not support the immigration reform bill he co-sponsored with Sen. Edward
Kennedy (D-MA) if it came to a vote on the Senate floor.

In a March 3 New York Times article,
Elisabeth Bumiller wrote, "Senator John McCain likes to present himself as
the candidate of the 'Straight Talk Express' who does not pander to voters or
change his positions with the political breeze. But the fine print of his
record in the Senate indicates that he has been a lot less consistent on some
of his signature issues than he has presented himself to be so far in his
presidential campaign." On immigration, Bumiller wrote:


Mr. McCain has also
moved from his original position on immigration. In 2005, he joined forces with
Senator Edward M. Kennedy, Democrat of Massachusetts, to co-sponsor an overhaul
of the nation's immigration laws. Although the legislation included toughening
border security, its center was a provision that would have provided a pathway
to citizenship for many of the 12 million illegal immigrants in the United States.

Conservatives
immediately branded the bill as amnesty and fired steadily at Mr. McCain. After
seeing his campaign and his fund-raising efforts derail last summer -- which
his advisers attributed in large part to his position on immigration -- Mr.
McCain now says that he got the message from voters. These days he speaks
almost exclusively about border security, although he does say that it is not
possible to deport 12 million illegal immigrants and that he would never deport
the mother of a soldier serving in Iraq.


Additionally, in a June 20 Politico piece, journalist
Gebe Martinez reported on McCain's reversal on immigration:


McCain, the Arizona senator,
dismayed Latinos last year when he stepped back from his immigration bill that
would have tightened the borders and legalized undocumented immigrants. As boos
and hisses from angry Republican conservatives grew louder at campaign events,
he switched course and vowed to "first" secure the borders. Were his
failed bill to come up again, he would not vote for it, he said.

[...]

Trying to regain Latino
support, McCain has chastised Republicans who stoke the fires of the
immigration at election time. And at a private meeting with Chicago-area
Latinos last week, he promised to push for a comprehensive immigration bill.

"It sounds like
he's trying to have it both ways, and it's not convincing anyone," said
Frank Sharry, who also was involved in immigration bill negotiations when he
headed the National Immigration Forum. 

This is not the McCain
Hispanics thought they knew. Even after the 2001 terrorist attacks placed an
emphasis on national security, McCain's speeches to Latino audiences and on the
Senate floor prioritized the compassionate side of the immigration argument.

He understood that
border security "first" means "deportation only" in the
eyes of immigrant activists, and he championed a broader approach. 

As the Senate mulled
immigration in 2006, McCain often stood in the Capitol's corridors, pounding
his fist in the air, arguing that border enforcement would not work without
simultaneously penalizing employers who hire workers illegally, creating a
temporary worker program and finding a way to bring 12 million illegal
immigrants "out of the shadows" of society. 

"It won't work! It
won't work!" he protested of suggestions to do enforcement first. The
stool cannot stand on one leg.


As Media
Matters noted, on the February
14 edition of Morning
Joe, Todd asserted that McCain is a
"moderate," even though McCain has reversed his position on
immigration and other issues to align
himself with the base of the Republican Party.

From the September 5 edition of
MSNBC's Morning Joe:


TODD:
Rick, last night -- last night in Senator McCain's speech, I saw him use
the word "Latina."
He was talking about a Latina
woman, trying to -- it was the first time all week that I had seen your party even
remotely talk about the Hispanics or even reach out to the Hispanic vote. Are
you worried the numbers are showing that Senator McCain is performing worse
among Hispanics than President Bush? And maybe this is a party problem.

DAVIS: Well, sure --

TODD:
But how do you carry Colorado and New Mexico and Nevada
with underperforming President Bush on Hispanics? 

DAVIS: Oh, look, we don't want to underperform anybody on Hispanics.
John McCain is -- for his entire career --

TODD:
Well, that's right. There's no question his record --

DAVIS: -- has gotten more Hispanic votes than any other candidate in
the country.

TODD:
He's not getting votes that his record deserves. 

DAVIS: But look what we did. Look what we --

TODD:
In this case --

DAVIS: -- did as a party. For the last two years, we've told
Hispanic voters that we don't want immigration from the southern border, that
we don't -- and, you know what? The message, you can't bifurcate it. It's not
just legal immigration and illegal immigration. 

TODD: They're
not hearing it, and that's been the problem. They're not hearing
that.

DAVIS: There's been a nativist discussion in this country that
has hurt our party's ability to attract Hispanic voters.

TODD:
Anything to change it?

DAVIS: The only one in our party who can do that and set it right is
John McCain. 

TODD:
Why didn't he talk about it more last night or through this convention? 

DAVIS: Well, look, I mean, we had some great people at the convention talking
about it -- Tommy Espinoza, who is Jimmy McCain's godfather, someone who
John McCain has done all kinds of good works with. You know, a former CEO of La
Raza was a speaker at our convention. He's not what you call a rock-ribbed
Republican.

You look
at our speakers at our convention and we had a lot of people who are not
Republicans come and talk to our convention. And I think the message that our
convention gave is the kind of message that the McCain administration is going
to give, and that is party labels don't give you access. What you -- gives you
access is whether you're going to put your country first, set aside your
own partisan interests, and do good for the country.

							Emeryville Warehouse  #109, Emeryville 
							 
							Luxury furnished corporate loft for rent!  
				 	        
				 	        This impressive 141-unit live/work loft development, converted 
				 	          from a historic warehouse by Rick Holliday in 1999, is centered 
				 	          on a dramatic open courtyard with fountains and landscaping. 
				 	          The building is located in an ideal Bay Area location with easy 
				 	          access to Interstates 980, 580, and 80 and to various modes 
				 	          of public transportation.
				 	        This luxury loft has been professionally designed to create a warm and intimate enviornment with a Far Eastern flair. Bamboo floors, track ligihting, oversized original oil paintings, elegant hand carved furniture and tropical plants contrast and complement the massive concrete columns and warm and cool surfaces.
				 	        The loft sleeps 2 - 4 people with a pullout sofabed along with seperate loft area for additional storage or for kids' play area. 
				 	        
                              Stainless steel appliances
				 	          Granite countertops
				 	          Flat screen television
				 	          Wireless Internet 
				 	          Cable, DVD, VCR and CD player
				 	          Weekly maid service available 
				 	          No pets
				 	          No smoking
			 	            
				 	        For most of   its existence, Emeryville was just a small   city sandwiched between Oakland and Berkeley. However, as large companies like Pixar and Chiron established themselves here, retail   outlets flourished, as have values for Emeryville real estate like condos and   lofts.
				 	        Emeryville is   centered around a thriving retail center,   which contains the new Bay Street   Mall, East Bay Bridge Shopping Center, Ikea and a host of other stores. There&rsquo;s the UA Emery   Bay Stadium 10 Theater and lots to eat,   epitomized by the Emeryville Public   Market, new hipster hotspot Bar   Kitty&rsquo;s, Charles   Chocolates and the classic Rudy&rsquo;s Can&rsquo;t Fail Café. All told,   Emeryville is a unique city, with card   clubs, a great art scene and the Shellmound.

		<description> Amy Goodman, host of the independent news program "Democracy Now!," was among hundreds who were arrested in St. Paul Minnesota today. Also detained were Goodman's producers, Sharif Abdel Kouddous and Nicole Salazar. The three were covering the protests at the Republican National Convention, but the Minneapolis Police Department charged them with conspiracy to riot. Goodman has since been released, but her colleagues are still being held at the time of this blog post. Video embedded above from Rick Rowley and Brandon Jourdan. Democracy Now's news release about the incident is here. (via @kenyatta) More on the story: Editor and Publisher, San Francisco Chronicle, and Washington Post, snip below: "I was down on the convention floor interviewing delegates when I heard that two of our producers had been arrested," said Goodman. "I ran down to Jackson and 7th Street, where the police had moved in." Goodman said that when she ran up to find out what was going on, she was also arrested. "They seriously manhandled me and handcuffed my hands behind my back. The top ID [at the convention] is to get on the floor and the Secret Service ripped that off me. I had my Democracy Now! ID too. I was clearly a reporter." Goodman, who was released after being charged with a misdemeanor, said that Salazar had been hurt in the face, while Kouddous had been thrown up against a wall and hurt his elbow. "Nicole told me that as they moved in on three sides, she asked them 'How do I get away from this?' and they jumped on her." Update: A group called Cold Snap Legal in the Twin Cities area is offering legal assistance to the hundreds of protesters who were arrested today at the RNC. Here's their Twitter stream, with lots of updates (thanks, Kyle). Via that Twitter stream, a re-tweet from @tcdailyplanet, 830pm PT: "Credible report of a convoy of National Guard heading toward the Twin Cities on Highway 55 between 8 and 9 p.m., with at least 7 humvees." Previously on BB: Report: Massive, warrantless raids on peace protesters in Minneapolis, ahead of RNC....
