This week's show features an interview with the dynamic Ruby Sinreich, creator of Orangepolitics.org and advocate for progressive politics. Ruby's vision for the OP blog was to engage a whole new crowd in the local political scene. While it's started out as more of a cyber-watercooler (bar?) for "the usual suspects," the site could and should grow into her dreamscape -- an entry point for new voices to emerge into the marketplace of progressive ideas. Visit the site, buy an OP T-shirt (to support the site) and get involved!
Thing one: Trying to write about what happened yesterday or lately with any insight is really, really hard even though you KNOW what happened. Thing two: Trying to predict the future with its many moving parts is just plain crazy. I'm sticking with thing one and predict that in the future, I'll still be doing that. - Jean Bolduc, Freelance Reporter (Chapel Hill News|News & Observer), Frequent Humorist, Happily married since forever, Renowned Philosopher (Mother of two).

More Changes at RDU
Recent guest Jeff Vanke is trying to block the RDU Authority from a $350 million facelift of Terminal C. Vanke calls the project, scheduled to begin in December, a boondoggle. More on his reasons at http://saverdu.org.
It does seem a bit over the top that the airport would need expansion just as we're hearing all about the airlines needing bailouts due to the drop in air travel. Kinda makes you wonder, don't it?
