A seriously alarming video of a cop arresting an ABC News producer for standing on a public sidewalk and photographing senators meeting with VIP types:
As a defense-attorney friend likes to remind me, it's a serious mistake to assume that not doing anything wrong will keep you out of trouble with the cops. And this guy wasn't some anarchist blogger with a cell-phone camera--he's from ABC! Don't the powers that be at the DNC and the Denver PD know what he can do...wait, actually, the video isn't even featured on the ABC site, and it has yet to get 1,000 viewings on YouTube. Looks like nobody cares. Via Firedoglake.

Anyone who's ever followed Chicago or Illinois politics knows how bizarre this is. Via Chicago Public Radio.
Apparently Cameron Strang is getting quite a bit of grief for his decision to pull out of the DNC benediction slot. And Kristin asks why white Protestants such as Strang were asked to pray at the Pepsi Center but not included in the interfaith panel.
Dave takes issue w/ Obama's borrowing from the New Testament in his speech last night. Mark is less concerned.
Okay, no more election posting for awhile...hard to avoid right now.
