Dear EmailNation Subscriber,
The Nation has a team of reporters in St. Paul this week reporting on the
Republican National Convention and the associated protests.
It's Palin's Party
John Nichols | Her views on abortion, stem cell research and gay marriage are
in sync with the Republican platform--but at odds with McCain.
http://www.thenation.com/blogs/thebeat/352893
Blue-Collar Republicans
Christopher Hayes | The Republican Party has set itself firmly against the
agenda of the labor movement. So to observe Labor Day in St. Paul was a strange
experience indeed.
http://www.thenation.com/doc/20080915/hayes
Why the GOP Loves Gustav
Bob Moser | The hurricane gave the party a perfect excuse to divert at least
some of the national media away from the storm clouds gathering around Sarah
Palin.
http://www.thenation.com/blogs/campaignmatters/352651/why_the_gop_hearts_gustav
When the GOP Met Gustav
Katrina vanden Heuvel | It's going to take a lot more than a hurricane to blow
away eight years of Republican neglect.
http://www.thenation.com/blogs/edcut/352686
Dome Denied to Gustav
Dave Zirin | The massive padlock on the New Orleans Superdome tells you all you
need to know about the federal government's carefully orchestrated response to
Gustav.
http://www.thenation.com/blogs/notion/352804/dome_denied_to_gustav_s_victims
And don't miss Zirin's new book, A People's History of Sports, a rollicking,
rebellious, myth-busting history of sports in America. Standing in the
tradition of rebel athletes, sports writers, and fans, Zirin critiques the way
sports have been used by people in power to stoke the fires of war, corporate
control, racism, sexism, and homophobia without losing sight of the essential
appeal of sports to so many fans.
You can also see Zirin speak about the book with legendary sports writer Robert
Lipsyte tomorrow night in New York City at 7:30 at the Brecht Forum.
