Ayer-ing Grievences
By webteam

Remember Bill Ayers? The man the McCain campaign tried to tie to Obama so they could say he "palled around with terrorists?" If you don't, please consult this video:

(Yes, this ad was banned from regular broadcast from what I can only conjecture was due to it's blatant innacuracies and ridiculousness) Anyway, Ayers is back in the spotlight, at least locally, after recently being asked to speak at Boston College by two of its student groups.

Cool, New Obama T-Shirt Designs
By webteam
How can you question Obama's ideas on how to fix the economy when the man is already doing it without even trying? Between the campaign, election day, and the inauguration, Obama has created a bounty of jobs in the street vending industry and online t-shirt proprietors. Now if we could only get these people to have them made in America.

Change has come to Whitehouse.gov
By b.pena

As Barack Obama took the oath of office, some IT guy was hustling to launch the new White House website. The new site launched at 12:01pm, just after Obama gently corrected Chief Justice Roberts for screwing up the oath. Whitehouse.gov comes complete with that Obama lots of soft gradients, borders on two sides of rectangles, and a whole lotta blogs.

Portland Phoenix editor on TV
By Jeff Inglis

The Take Back Barack effort (started by the Portland Phoenix's managing editor Jeff Inglis and staff writer Deirdre Fulton with this article) is on TV throughout January around the nation, thanks to Liberty News TV. (It's a non-profit progressive outfit based here in Portland, and they accept donations!)

Taking Back Barack on the radio
By Jeff Inglis

Many of the comments about Take Back Barack so far have been from conservatives shouting with glee, calling Obama a "snake-oil salesman" and a "con man," and apparently suggesting I'm a sucker for believing his promises. But it appears the progressive community might be paying some attention. Early tomorrow morning (East Coast time) - so early it's late at night Pacific time - I'll be on the Phil Hendrie Show talking about the Take Back Barack effort.

Obama wins; people get naked
By Caitlin E. Curran
88 percent of Cambridge voted for Barack Obama on Tuesday, so it's no surprise that impromptu celebrations were in full force there by midnight. Elsewhere in Boston, though, Obama supporters were gallivanting in all different ways - luckily, our photographer was able to snap shots of them in action. View a slideshow of photos here.
