Wednesday, August 29, 2012 Arianna Huffington: Conventions 2012: To Save the American Dream, We Need to Recapture the American Spirit Arianna Huffington: Though the first day of the Republican convention was disrupted by the hurricane that wasn't, the rest of the week is following the carefully planned script. As will, I'm sure, the Democratic convention next week in Charlotte. At the same time, 20 million Americans are unemployed or underemployed. That's why we've chosen to use the unique opportunity offered by the conventions to launch a multi-part effort to put the spotlight on solutions, innovative ideas, and the men and women who are actually creating jobs right now. Through a series of panels moderated by Tom Brokaw, a jobs expo showcasing innovative entrepreneurs, and a group of partners making specific promises to address the jobs crisis, we hope to put the spotlight on the ingenuity and resilience that have always defined our country.

Robert L. Borosage: The Hard Truth About Romney's Republican Party Behind the multi-million dollar stage in Tampa, beneath the glittery "reintroduction" of Mitt Romney as a pragmatic business guy, lies this "hard truth." And with record numbers in poverty, Mitt's promise is to savage vital programs for the vulnerable. Dan Froomkin: Obama, Romney and the Low-Wage Future of America With so much at stake, journalists have good reason to go beyond the empty sound bites and, at the very least, ask people who talk about creating jobs: What sorts of jobs? Janet Tavakoli: Prince Harry Offered Partner Position at Goldman Sachs We love your jokes! We only ask for a little more discretion. No, we don't mean about the nude photos; we don't care about that. But these days when we call our clients "muppets," there are no witnesses. John Hillcoat: Reinventing the Gangster I have always wanted to make a gangster movie.
