Nader's energy
Ralph Nader was in Des Moines Friday, and the Chris Moeller Statehouse Campaign was there. My comments during a conversation with the Register's Marc Hansen filled up two pages in the columnist's notebook, but alas, none of those comments came to print. Still, he wrote one hell of a good article.---
Wendy Barth is the Green Party candidate for Congress in Iowa's 2nd District. She's holding the Democratic incumbent's feet to the fire for his financial bailout vote earlier in the month. Barth has been a selfless advocate for progressive action and we've never needed her in Washington more than right now. Remember to show Wendy the love on November 4th if you're a resident of the 2nd District. If you live in Cedar Rapids or Iowa City, this means you.

One of the most important St. Louis Cardinals in history died this week. George Kissell, 88, had been a player, coach, and instructor in the Cardinals system for 68 years. He helped convert Mike Shannon from an outfielder to an infielder in the mid-60s, transformed Joe Torre from a catcher to an MVP thirdbaseman in the early '70s, and in 1977, suggested to a minor-league middle-infielder named Tony LaRussa that he consider becoming a manager. His obituary was published in the New York Times on Wednesday.
