Tuesday Evening

This is a Kos diary by Terri, aka terrintokyo4dfa

Low-income/People of Color-led/Grassroots Katrina Relief

If you're a Daily Kos member, please recommend. Here's a comment Terri made after the diary:

I was hoping to rally the Kossacks to help, and, with that in mind, I'll keep posting this for the next few days, until maybe a frontpager takes it up...it's very frustrating, as people are talking about the need for help for the poor and people of color on so many other threads, but here are direct ways to help...

Come on, people--this is Terri in Tokyo. She's come all the way from Japan, *twice* for DeanFest. This Terri in Tokyo:



So go ahead--recommend it already. Okay, maybe you're not a Kos member...you can still crosspost her link on *another* blog or Dean Yahoo group, can't you?

A couple new posts have gone up at Blog for America:

Before I sign off for the night, I'd like to thank uinen, who just reintroduced herself in the comments as Catreona, for accepting my invitation to help with the care and feeding of this blog. The "comment spam" is a real PITA, but I've turned off word verification, so I definitely appreciate the additional help in zapping those nasty little fake comments.

Finally, links to the two radio spots I transcribed today. I'm not likely to do that sort of thing often, but since I went to the trouble, I'm bloody well going to repost these links. ;-)

Transcript of "Houston, we may have a problem"--the segment on The Marketplace on which Barbara Bush commented that "so many of the people in the arenas here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this is--this is working very well for them."

Good night, everyone.
