EAVESDROPPING: Are There Second Acts In American Political Movements?

Attention has temporarily swung away from the NSA wiretap debate (just as Plamegate fell off the radar yesterday) but Vichy Democrats -- launched in the wake of the failed filibuster of Samuel Alito -- is contemplating another campaign, this one aimed at getting Dems to put the screws to the Bush admin....

I need to repay the favor by giving Blogometer a plug. It's a great place to pick up on trends and news -- sort of a human-edited blog aggregator, which must take a ton of work but results in a nicely synthesized and topical end product. In the piece linked above, I like the double entendre of "eavesdropping" -- the NSA's eavesdropping on all of us, and the NJ's "eavesdropping" on our plans to make an issue out of it. Plus, I love it that someone's calling the Alito grassroots campaign a political movement -- because it is, it damn well is, if we can keep it going.

For Kos and Atrios this kind of thing is all in a day's work, but I have to interrupt my assembly of the NSA "Game Plan" and go call my mom now...
