My plan is to wipe my ass with their fundraising mailers and return them.

Do you think I should include a note, or is that enough?

Morgan Tsvangirai just threw in the towel in the elections in Zimbabwe after his supporters were murdered, tortured etc by Mugabe’s thugs. Since he’s available, and political opposition is now one of those jobs homegrown Americans think is beneath them, why don’t we just import him? We need political opposition that doesn’t scare easily, and Tsvangirai needs a job and a new home.

Sounds more plausible than waiting for the Democowards to grow a pair.

That is why we want everyone to be able to Post so they can start a conversation about an idea they have to make this happen.

Stop on by and check it out. By all means leave a comment and sign up to blog with us as we figure out what needs to be done to return our Fourth Amendment Rights and our rule of law.

Keep lying, Inhofe, ’cause nobody’s noticing the changes…

Yep. ‘Cuz it has always hit 90+ in Boston in late May.

I’m torn – it’s yucky hot, but skirt season started early this year.
Last couple years, too, IIRC.

The problem is that the Democratic leadership supported the bill, and once they did that it was a foregone conclusion. With Obama supporting the bill the result in the Senate is likewise foregone.

No, not all Democrats are to blame. But the leadership is, and sadly that includes Obama.

And riding a motorcycle in northern california meant you probably wanted sleeves in september and a jacket in october.

Now? Jeez, maybe you need a jacket after new years.

I was just thinking the other day about how back-to-school in the long-ago years of my youth meant wearing corduroy and light wool from day one.

Pelosi et al are willing to dismantle the constitution if that’s what it takes to protect their rich friends and benefactors in the telecom industry and cover their own complicit asses. They’re going to get what they want. That’s called “success”.

I don’t wanna go outside – it is to suffer mercilessly.

So I’ll screw around the house, listening to music, downloading songs, watching sports, playing on the t00bz, maybe check out some porn, not gonna do laundry or turn on the oven, so all in all?

Not a productive day scheduled at mikey HQ…

Um. With any luck the power won’t go out.

Tends to do that on really hot weekend days…

I hope that everyone who, like me, has a Blue Dog for a Rep or Senator works against them in any primary challenge and bedevils their staff constantly with phone calls, letters, and petitions. We need to get actively involved, each according to his or her abilities. That’s the only way we’ll ever prevail. If it still can be turned around, which on bad days I sometimes doubt, that is the only way we can do it.

Beer and house cleaning now. And a nice cheap but oh so delicious malbec for relaxing later. No more politics today. I wrote a letter to the editor this morning excoriating Boswell and I’m taking the rest of the day off for purely selfish concerns. Sometimes I just have to step back, for mental health reasons. Happy Saturday!

Great solution. Holler at each other. Call each other a buncha names.

Here’s the news. None of you are responsible for what happened.

In fact, except in the most generalized, indirect way, it’s not about you.

The problem is the system, the people that ended up in power due to that system, and an old way of doing and funding the peoples business.

If there is a solution, it is as simple as it is obvious. Use the unprecedented collective and organizing power of teh Series of T00bz™ to support and fund challenges NOT ONLY to the opposing party, but to any member of our party who sells out to the opposition, regardless of the reason.

In fact, endless speculation about the reasons is ultimately pointless. Does it really matter if they feared the political costs of looking “soft on terrror™”, or if they are being blackmailed, or if they fear prosecution for participation in the felonious excesses of government? From my perspective, how is one different from the other?

Greenwald is on to the only possible solution. Time will tell if it can work, but there’s no other practical approach. Logically, if we can make the political cost HIGHER to play the DC game than to buck the entrenched system, bucking the system will be the obvious path.

I found the poll showing the Democratic controlled congress more popular with republicans than democrats to be epiphanic. I don’t accept the premise there is no difference between dems and repubs, but there is no difference, for some reason, between the acts of the individuals on either side of the aisle.

They CLAIM to stand for different things, but they don’t act on those claims. Therefore, they have to be replaced. And with today’s technology, we actually MAY have the power to do so…

There is very little reasonable doubt that we’d be better off, but that’s an easy one. We’d have been better off with Pat Paulsen.

I’ve grown a bit tired of all the worship of the hypothetical Gore presidency that never was. Sure, I like what Gore is now: an ex-politician free to speak his mind, and he’s done a wonderful job of it. Gore the elected official, however, was a very different person. This is not uncommon in politics, though Gore is probably the most extreme example of this turnabout.

It’s why I was never enthusiastically on board the draft Gore express. The minute he’s back in electoral politics, folks, it’ll be like you don’t even recognize him.

Yes, that is germane. I was going to point out that, in the microcosm that is my state, two of the three Dem reps voted the right way. Then I started frothing at the mouth about Boswell (a name I can’t say without spitting) and didn’t tie it in. But absolutely, there is a HUGE difference between the vast majority of Dems and the Thugs, especially on social policy, and it needs to be pointed out. loudly and frequently.

Where would we be now if Al Gore had been Pres this past 8 years? I’m morally sure we wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in.
