I don’t know if he wrote his own speech or had any sort of vetting process before he started rehearsing it, but a lot of his “zingers” were oft-repeated misleading statements and fabrications about Kerry’s record and past votes. We’ve covered this ground here before, but the Post does a good job running down the biggest lies (that also drew the biggest laughs from the crowd, fancy that). Found this via Atrios.

Newsweek’s Daniel Gross explains the Consumer Price Index (here’s the official BLS site) in a very simple video. I could do without the goofy sound effects, but it’s a good, 2 minute explanation of how the government tracks inflation.
Per David Simon’s Berkeley talk, though, the video doesn’t go into why this matters. Perhaps they’ll cover that in the next installment of the Economics 101 series.

Neo-Con Republican Party Hijackers Seek To Ban Ron Paul
Anti-American trash want to end democratic process, kick Texas Congressman out of debates

Hijackers who have seized control of the Republican party are engaged in desperate damage control in an attempt to prevent real conservatives from reclaiming the party and are circling the wagons by calling for an end to the democratic process and for Ron Paul to be kicked out of the debates.
Fox News led the charge via their rigged and bias smear attempt against the Texas Congressman during the debate and its aftermath.
GOPAC chairman Michael Steele went so far as to suggest that Ron Paul should not belong to the Republican party, stating that he was “done” with Paul and did not care what the results of the FOX poll were, after it was revealed that Paul was leading the pack.
John Gibson and Michele Malkin parroted calls for Paul to be removed from the debates during a Big Story segment last night.
Now the chairman of the Michigan Republican Party, Saul Anuzis, is circulating a petition among Republican National Committee members to ban Paul from more debates.
“The chairman of the Michigan Republican Party said Wednesday that he will try to bar Ron Paul from future GOP presidential debates because of remarks the Texas congressman made that suggested the Sept. 11 attacks were the fault of U.S. foreign policy,” reports the Associated Press.
Saul Anuzis: Enemy of the democratic process wants to ban Ron Paul.
In response, Ron Paul supporter Dena Turner has launched an online petition to advocate Paul’s participation in future debates and we urge you to sign it at http://www.petitiononline.com/RPRNC08/petition.html
The Neo-Con hijackers are having to resort to ending the democratic process simply to derail the Ron Paul juggernaut and their desperation is only going to expose their inherent fear that a real and sustained backlash against the one party system is at the door.

There is an orchestrated agenda underway to chill free speech and blackball the Texas Congressman despite the fact that he has won the vast majority of debate polls hands down.
The elite are scared stiff that a candidate who is not bought and paid for is generating this much interest and that the snowball is rolling and getting bigger every day. Their decision to move from ignoring him to actively smearing him has only backfired and garnered Paul the attention he might not have otherwise received.
Many people still remain defeatist and skeptical as to whether Ron Paul can actually compete for the presidency, but as we’ve said before, you don’t have to move the rock, you just have to push it and by exposing the establishment by making them behave like the tyrants they are will only wake more people up in the long run.
