Josh Marshall's web site, Talking Points Memo, started as a result of his frustration during the 2000 Presidential Election's Florida recount fiasco. From that time until early 2006, Talking Points Memo, or TPM, gathered more credibility than just about any other information site on the web being handled almost single-handedly. A phenomenal one-person show!Then Marshall expanded the site, hiring several writers and investigators, creating new niche blogs on muckraking, state-level politics and political gossip and essays.
In 2007, TPM started running YouTube clips, mostly under their Veracifier label. I carried Marshall's explanation of the Coconut Road earmark story the other day. Marshall has now created a set of political achievement awards for dubious distinction in American politics. They're called the Golden Duke Awards, named after that great American crook, Duke Cunningham. All three of our U.S. Legislators have qualified in one category or another! They must be even more proud than Lesil McGuire.
