Alright, Im sure youve seen some version of the below video where Chris Matthews asks sausage-brain to explain what appeasement means and protruding-forehead does his best imitation of Lenny from Mice and Men, "The rabbits, George. I want to pet the rabbits."

But Id like you to skip past "screaming-dude-whos-greatest-college-experience-included-a-beer-bong-and-a-copy-of-Juggs" (I know its hard) in favor of a later moment... starting at 4:07 and going to the end... where Chris... - [Read more]

Another "FYI" post for those who are fed up to here with all the impeachment talk.

Congress, under the leadership of the esteemed Nancy Fing Pelosi and Harry "we dont have the votes" Reid, is apparently doing exactly the job they think they were hired to do.

The war in Iraq is the backdrop as the Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young "Freedom of Speech Tour" crisscrosses North America. Echoes of Vietnam-era anti-war sentiment abound as the band connects with todays... - [Read more]

A Democratic engineered emergency supplemental bill to continue funding the occupation of Iraq and the war in Afghanistan to the tune of $162 billion is expected to win bipartisan support, aides to leaders in the House said late Wednesday.

The bill, as currently drafted, does not contain any conditions for withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq nor does it restrict how... - [Read more]

We need to tell you about a story that will break your heart, and then we need to ask you for help so we can prevent tragedies like this from ever happening again.

Will you help in a fight for justice?  I received an email today from the United Farm Workers about a prevantable death of a young, pregnant woman.  The Daily Kos community can make a difference here.  The cause is just and necessary.

I just spoke at the... - [Read more]

Many of us (though, sadly, not all) know by now that the damage to New Orleans was not caused by a natural disaster but by human error -- the errors of the Army Corps of Engineers.

Thats why back in February of 2007, New Orleans federal court judge Stanwood Duvall ruled the ACOE couldnt claim immunity:

The Army Corps of Engineers cant assert immunity in a lawsuit over the... - [Read more]

This is my 67th Fourth of July and this is a Eulogy.

I need to lay to final rest, once and for all, the last tattered shreds of my love for and blind faith in this land of mine.

To lose a long beloved one, is very hard. Even harder, is having to admit that that long beloved one never truly existed in the first place.

As if only yesterday, the memories of being literally filled to overflowing with a such deep and abiding love of America I could hardly contain it are still fresh for... - [Read more]

You can expect to see that headline if John McCain wins the Presidency.

It is no secret that the non-"activist judges" on the Supreme Court are the older ones, and it is no secret that there could be two, maybe even three appointments over the next 4 years.  And it is also no secret that McCain has been pandering to those who want to erode the Constitution further - ironically in the name of "strictly interpreting it".

One of the more difficult things that face Democrats and... - [Read more]

Impeachments too good for those cats, but what the ell... Bring it on!

But they arent the only ones to blame.  I blame all Republicans.  

Iraq.  And lying.

Especially for 2004.

Lying.

George Packer has an interesting analysis of the implosion of the GOP in this weeks New Yorker, which finally landed in my mailbox yesterday.  Its rather long but well worth reading in full.  He begins in 1966, when Patrick Buchanan went to work for Nixon, and follows the rise of conservatism from that point to the present.  Some of this should sound very familiar, even to those of us who werent old enough to follow politics back then:

In order to seize... - [Read more]

What with all the discussion yesterday about the use of hate words and todays Howard-Wolfson-Faux-Gate I was reminded of one of the tiny moments of great courage that happened upon me as I have clung to this big blue orb.
So, its 1991 and Im still an actor, having just graduated from the theatre conservatory at the University of Illinois a few month earlier.

My first REAL union gig was a production of a... - [Read more]

On one hand, I gotta express support, yet again, for Rep. Waxman, as he is one of a shrinking number of Congressional officials that dare to investigate, ask tough questions and follow up to a large extent.

On the other hand, I cant help but feel that we have been down this... - [Read more]

On this day in 1983 I married my best friend after knowing him for 5 years. We are still best friends 25 years later and looking forward to many more. As friends we support each other and care and make the other laugh. We have shared so many things...and watched as the world changed around us, and we changed.

So...just cause Im in a mellow mood I thought Id put up a timeline of important things that have happened along this 25 year road out in the world. And I noticed that the more things... - [Read more]

A man writes a book. About a culture of deception. And those enshrined in that culture wonder how that man, Scott McClellan, could go from . . .

". . . a loyal and trusted staff member to an embittered person who makes biting accusations."
