A new blog: to be rapid response, will be hooked up tomorrow night

[EC]

Thinkprogress.org, a new blog ready to revolutionize the world of research-intensive rapid response. Debuting in tandem with the State of the Union address on Feb. 2, Thinkprogress.org will give journalists and the public real-time access to American Progress’s highly regarded rapid response operation for the first time ever. And in honor of the launch, American Progress CEO John Podesta will be a guest blogger, providing live commentary throughout the entire State of the Union address.
That should be interesting.

1. Looks interesting, but I can't read the tiny print!

Everything on the left side is too faint and way too small for anyone past 40 to read without glasses. If this is your site, can you please make it more readable for those of us who aren't young whippersnappers anymore?

9. not my blog, it's put out by The Center for American Progress

to be like their Progress Report Daily Newsletter, but do what I do if the print is small, I cut and paste to my notepad where I have the font set to about 12 or 14, then I can read it...since I use a laptop at home it comes in handy...or Foxfire has a great text increaser under the View tab, either way works...

2. Very cool!

3. I think sometime in the SOU...

Bush is going to declare blogging illegal and we'll be given 1 minute to cease and desist.

4. Great....

We need this to combat Bushco and the ugly Presstitute Corp. If we don't get a handle on the propaganda, we can't win!

5. Will Pitt did live blogging during the Jan 6 challenge

here:

I doubt he'll do it during the SOTU, as it will be readily visible even to people like me who don't have cable and can't easily view streaming video on their computer. It was great on Jan 6, though, filled with his characteristic snarky humor as well as vivid updates on what was happening in the House and Senate.

I hope this new blog does as well as Will did. I'll be curious to check it out.

10. I know, I look forward to his articles and read truthout daily,

just as I read Talking Points Memo, Daily Kos and some others daily....

You had to love the Kerry 'rapid response' team.
