		<description>I&#039;m with Craig on this - you have to be willing to really think to be a regular C-Span viewer. 

My favorite part of the day is watching Washington Journal as I get ready in the mornings. Between the really good points, you get some hilarious idiots calling in. 

And you can&#039;t but respect the hosts who have to keep their opinions to themselves. They&#039;re able to re-direct callers who try to catch them think better than the best stage magicians.</description>

		<description>@jill and @bootney, not sure if we have met, but you are welcome to come talk to me personally instead of sideline hating here in the comment section. my cell is 571-213-4308 and i would be happy to discuss.

like any small business owner who has struck out on his own, i work extremely hard. and the clients i work for are great and we are doing awesome things together. your comments to the contrary are misguided.

as for my company&#039;s name, at least it&#039;s the real thing &quot;jill&quot; ;-) jesse.com was unavailable and it has grown on me ever since.</description>

		<description>sorry for the strongly phrased comment, realize it probably came off wrong -- was in reference to a feature that we will be rolling out later this week that catalogs archives. Politweets is a real inspiration and ahead of its time, so all the respect in the world for them.

as for the digs at me personally, not sure where you are coming from but you are definitely off base. i have an immense amount of integrity, creativity and passion in all that i do. statements made by bogus accounts, however, have none of these things.</description>

		<description>@ jesse thomas (i refuse to say jess3 because it&#039;s corny and not at all creative) i have to agree with bootney- your rep is horrible.  you are one of the worst designers (work-ethic-wise) i&#039;ve ever seen.  anyone who works with you will have to learn that the hard way.  you should really work on trying to focus on what clients have you doing... so that your rep doesn&#039;t sink any lower.</description>

		<description>hmmm &quot;blows away&quot; is a strong statement from someone who has never created anything for himself. Who has constantly been known to steal other peoples work and has been fired from every job he has worked. Nothing about this blows anyone away, just like your personality and your talent.</description>

		<description>Sodapop, I took the screen shots and am helping C-SPAN populate both Hubs. The screen shots were demos; the RNC site is now complete. Also, right now I am simply finding more discussion about the DNC. This is probably because it starts sooner, and I expect that to change next week.</description>

		<description>Cheers for C-Span. Online forums like &lt;a href=&quot;http://yetanotherpoliticsboard.yuku.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Yet Another Politics Board&lt;/a&gt; have been a place for people to exchange ideas for years.</description>

		<description>I really like the Twitter integration :)

regarding c-span: for the first time, I testified in front of a congressional subcommittee last month on the topic of deep packet inspection. the c-span cameras were rolling but there were only a handful of members in the chamber and the cameras were zoomed in tight (I saw it on the monitor and the feed later). 

I wish c-span cameras zoomed out during congressional meetings so we can see how few of our elected officials actually attend these sessions where they are supposed to learn &amp; debate. And even those that attend, they are looking at their blackberries or talking to staffers until the camera points at them.</description>

		<description>The thing about C-SPAN is that you have to force yourself to listen to a complete thought. After that, it can be the best station on TV depending on who&#039;s talking. 

I actually chose my career as a computer scientist because of a book I heard first about on CSPAN, Ray Kurzweil&#039;s, &quot;Age of Spirtual Machines&quot;.</description>
