Moveon.org
Williamsburg, Greenpoint for Obama
Today is the culmination of MoveOn.org's national bake sale, a grassroots effort to help put Barack Obama into the White House. The idea is very simple and beautifully non-cynical: a bunch of people organize over the internet, bake cakes, cookies, and other goodies, sell them to a sympathetic public, and then donate the funds to MoveOn's PAC. We Americans have held bake sales at least since the Civil War, and it's right and fitting and proper that this tradition has now become a nation-wide, technology-driven effort.
Here in Williamsburg, there were several such events, and I decided to check out one of them.

Moveon.org, the Progressive activist powerhouse, is presently in some hot water with the usual suspects for having the astonishingly poor taste of telling the truth, in the New York Times, no less.
