The world's most influential website - it has remade the Democratic party entirely in its image and likeness, having installed Dean as chair, being directly responsible for the death of the centrist DLC, and winning the midterm Congressional elections not-so-long ago. However, if it is to be judged on its content, it pales in comparison to more informative, thoughtful sites (contrast with Marginal Revolution) and in its perpetual ranting does not allow its readers to make a judgment (contrast with Little Green Footballs, which makes its opinion clear but holds back on telling you everything you need to think).

Americans should organize and declare a NO DRIVE, NO FLY, NO BUY day to bring economics issues to the forefront of all elected officials. Perhaps July 3 or July 5; where every person in the USA would stay home & go nowhere. Call in sick, take a vacation day or just don't show up for work, school, etc.
On this day no one in America would DRIVE, FLY, or BUY ANYTHING. Every American would just stay home.This blog could and should organize and adverise this special day.
