Please Note:

This page now exists as a historical document of an experiment in creating an event-specific news feed specifically for the 2004 Republican National Convention hosted in New York City during the days surrounding the 3rd anniversary of the September 11th attacks. This was in response to Matt's post about rolling your own newspaper covering the Republican National Convention; I cooked up a RNC News Page using Magpie RSS and some links from his site. All posts copyright their respective authors.

Please see a site snapshot taken on 20040903 @ 13:30 EST in order to see how this site looked when it was actually useful.

• TODAY'S TNR REVIEW OF COLUMNISTS
  Reihan notes that Paul Krugman and David Brooks have both, eerily, written columns on the topic of height today. I'd add that, if this was an accident, it's something they should do more often. It's like a writing exercise where two writers get the same topic and do it any way they can. Both columnists are at their best. Krugman gives a very smart, logical, and detailed analysis of an issue I knew nothing about before. Brooks offers up some very funny and endearing comic-sociological observations. Somehow, the similarity of topic gives a great insight into how two different but very smart minds operate.

  Political Activists Say They Are Not Terrorists The RNC Welcoming Committee, an "anarchist/anti-authoritarian organizing body" which provided logistical support to individuals protesting RNC08 in St. Paul, gave a rare press conference on the morning of 9/4/08. The organizers of the group says they have maintained a policy of not speaking to the press until now. Group member Celia Kutz says they can no longer remain silent because Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher has targeted the group "It's become personal" says Kutz. Eight members of the group have been charged with conspiracy and acts of terrorism. "There are no terrorists on this stage. There are no terrorists in the Ramsey County Jail," added Kutz

• t r u t h o u t | Palin's Speech to Nowhere
  Oh, so glad that someone is checking the record here. The populist claims are false, so what now? Will Bunch writes... "It was a Speech to Nowhere because Palin also boasted seconds before her lie of fighting against wasteful earmarks in Congress, even though she pushed for and accepted $27 million of such grants when she was mayor of Wasilla." Sarah Palin was spinning yarns in her speech, but a recycled platitude for the digital age remains: does the truth even matter anymore? Cynical, yes. Is the answer "yes it does" ? I certainly hope so, but why should the truth matter during elections in 2008 if it has had no success in sinking into the U.S. public psyche since 2000? Maybe U.S. voters (the 37% of the eligible among us who show up at the polls) don't care about the truth. Politics here are conquest, not civic engagement.

This is a selection of feeds dealing with the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York City. In response to Matt's post about rolling your own newspaper covering the Republican National Convention, I cooked up a RNC News Page using Magpie RSS and some links from his site. All posts copyright their respective authors. Much love goes to all who are recording what is happening, especially The Gothamist. Note, this page is more of a record for my use, but if you find it useful, that is great. Email me at plemeljr at gmail.com for inclusion of feeds, design ideas, etc.

15:22 - I am re-jiggering the layout, TNR RSS feed seems to be sending the wrong articles, so I have moved it down, and moved IndyMedia up to the top because they are updating more often, but are (admittedly) not always the most trusted source. Balancing the layout (including and excluding sources) is a dificult task, not to mention how to present it.

20040901
Note - I am adding more photoblogs [mostly from Gothamist.
16:15 - RNC Blogger's rss feed is behaving now, so I am moving it up with Indymedia, and expanding it - I may not agree with them, but they do have access that many don't have.

20040903
OK, so now that it is over, this I will have to think how exactly this page will turn into - some sort of hibernation mode. I'm taking the weekend off. I moved the photos section to the top, because the rs feeds will become stale. Here is a site snapshot taken on 20040903 @ 13:30 EST as an archive.
