Oh no...........not first again..................oh well......................

Howard Dean is first.

No, Dean is first. 

And our electric service is fixed.  

I'm thinking that maybe we should have a project where everyone throws their main breaker on their circuit panel and just uses the power for three hours a day, like they do in Baghdad. 

My Congressman Bruce Braley is on board the Impeachment train. Is yours?

About time this happened.  AND, fortunately, Bush CANNOT pardon an impeachment.

BTW - Howie is first

Insley IS mine!  Or close to me anyway.  McDermott is actually mine, but Insley's office is about 4 miles from my house and he attends our LD meetings regularly.  McDermott signed on to Kuchinichs' for impeaching Darth Cheney, so I'm fairly confident that he will sign on to this one as well.

Back to the salt mines.  Has anyone notified the other thread?

one of the reasons to have sex given was "to be closer to God"

don't know about that, but hot buttered sweet corn that was in the field this morning works for me

the grower that hired the foxy young lady to sell his pickup load of corn had the lads lined up like they were going for a two-fer

who said marketing and religion couldn't mix?

I also like Conyers and I wish he'd sign on with Kucinich.

FWI, I also post points of view that are not those of most of us. I

And I do admire what Japan is doing about transporation.

So when do impeachment proceedings against Cheney begin?

Obama has many young people supporting him.  What do they know or remember about nukes and the devastation they cause? Do they have a clue about Pakistan? I doubt it.  It's style over substance and the Obama campaign knows this is how to capture the naive youth vote; hence the offensive, IMO, Obama girls, who,IMO, are being exploited sexually.  Frankly I find him and his campaign manipulative, deceptive, sexually exploitive.  Between his views on the *war on terror,* Pakistan and  AIPAC, I find him downright scary.  And he's bright enuf to fool enuf people to get elected.

In the Kos poll, Clinton is leading  with Obama in second.

Is the fix in?

United States Senator
Honorary Chair, Progressive Patriots Fund

P.S. - Congress must also deal with an administration run amuck.  I will be formally introducing my two censure resolutions - holding the President, Vice President, and administration accountable for their mishandling of the situation in Iraq and for their blatant disregard for the rule of law - later this week. However, I'm still making last minute changes and would welcome your feedback.  If you haven't done so already, please take a moment and send me your thoughts on this vitally important issue.  Thanks again for all that you do.

I disagree with Jim when he says that  "Only after Gonzales is gone can integrity be restored to the Justice Department."

Does anyone really think that Cheney/Rove will vote for integrity?

Another pawn will somehow be put in place or perhaps there will be an *event* here at home...or  how about a recess appointment after Gonzo decides he needs to spend more time with his family?  Remember, they are running out the clock and doing it masterfully.

To restore integrity, we have to get rid of Cheney.  Period.  IMHO

Last week, the minimum wage rose for the first time in ten years, a real victory for the millions of Americans who struggle to make ends meet.

We have also produced other common-sense legislation that is popular across the political spectrum. Yet, despite the support of a clear majority of the American people, President Bush continues to oppose public sentiment and has even promised to veto these bills.

It's the same approach we have seen time and time again with this President, especially regarding his refusal to change course in Iraq.

I want you to rest assured that Democrats are listening to the American people, and we remain firm in our commitment to bring our troops home as soon and as safely as possible.

My fellow Democrats and I will continue to fight for what Americans need and care about. Our country faces great challenges, but with your support, I have no doubt that they are challenges we can overcome.

Sincerely,

Louise Slaughter

Florida Voting Machines Can Be Hacked

Actually, I'm senior to Obama by one year (as are many other bloggers on the Obama '08 website).

So I take it you're in favor of a terrorist nuclear state, Pakistan; and in favor of war w/o end and in favor of arming friends today who likely will be enemies tomorrow.

When Carter was running for president in 1976, a young Amy often traveled with him and Rosalyn on the campaign trail.

Ditto Bill Clinton with a young Chelsea and Hillary.

The kids looked like they were having fun as well as the spouses.

But hey, if some see that  as explotation, then all I can say is zounds - that's a whopper of a generalization and of a stretch of what that term exploitation (ie. "exploited sexually") means.

...

Less money and aid to Sierra Leone and your wife's family

...

Thanks for being concerned.

The U.S. doesn't currently give much aid at all to Sierra Leone or any other African country (excluding Egypt).  Great Britian, which has troops fighting in Afghanistan against al Qaeda and the Taliban, is the main supplier of aid to Sierra Leone.

The people of Sierra Leone have not forgotten what Britian did to help weed out terrorism in Sierra Leone (the terrorism of the RUF that hacked off civilians hands and feet) in 2000, by Tony Blair ordering in British commandos into the heart of the capital of Freetown, where the rebels had conquered half of the city. 

Seven years later, next week on 8/8/07, Sierra Leoneons, including many expatriates, will be voting in long lines for a president and a parliament.  My wife and I will be visiting there next Oct.

As for Obama, he's already indicated that he's interested in giving more aid and attention to his ancestorial homeland continent of Africa.

Finally, IMO we'll have a president who can walk and chew gum the same time (not choke on pretzels or pork rinds).

I already said that if Gore decides to enter the race for U.S. President, I will seriosuly have to make a decision if my support for Obama for president still stands as strongly as it does now.

But since Gore has not announced, for now I'm not on the fence and obviously haven't been since this past Jan when Obama announced. 

(FYI  - I don't want a repub, the likes of a Romney, as our next President, and will do whatever I can to ensure that.  I've already seen what he can do as my governor and IMO it was not a pretty sight.)

Driving by (again) to tell you I wrote a musically oriented 'trip report' with pix at my blog http://www.annilow.blogspot.com and a travel oriented one at Frommer's travel talk http://www.frommers.com/cgi-bin/WebX?13@142.cjzmbParQeq^8@.ef3ced8 if there is any interest.

The young people of this coiuntry had better expand their boundaries of intelligence alot farther than ipods, razors, american idol and skateboards.............if candidates like obama want to rant on about war and conflicts then they had better figure out just who will do the fighting on these adventures................

They can start with reading a little foreign policy history first, and how this country got itself int the current mess that its in.............its not as simple as good guys and bad guys anymore..........

 I hop on my bike this Saturday. This race raises money for cancer research and treatment. We've made great strides in those areas; I'm living proof of that -- but those we all know and love who weren't so lucky remind us we have more miles to go than there are miles in this race.

So, please, go here and support my ride with a pledge of support. Help raise money for this important cause.

The money raised will go to the Jimmy Fund. Anyone who grows up in New England knows all about the Jimmy Fund. As a New Englander, I still remember those photos in the newspaper and those ads between innings -- the images of our heroes Ted Williams and Yaz asking each of us to pitch in to help children struggling to beat cancer. There's a reason The Jimmy Fund sign is there on The Green Monster in Fenway Park, a fact which will be brought home to all of us in Red Sox Nation when Jon Lester pitches from the Fenway mound for the first time very soon on his own courageous comeback journey. This is an outstanding charity that has done decades of important work, and last year this race represented a full 50% of the income of the Jimmy Fund. So this is a very important event for a cornerstone organization in our fight against cancer.

Please help me support the Jimmy Fund.

Thank you,

John Kerry

Bush Authorized Multiple Spying Programs
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/080107C.shtml
Dan Eggen of The Washington Post reports: "The Bush administration's chief intelligence official said yesterday that President Bush authorized a series of secret surveillance activities under a single executive order in late 2001. The disclosure makes clear that a controversial National Security Agency program was part of a much broader operation than the president previously described."

War without end means soldiers w/o end; unless Obama/clinton are going to raid the prisons and pay mercenaries from all over the world and then charge us taxpayers, which I suspect is the plan.  A draft would have this country impeaching them.  But then, with all that unitary power, who cares what we think?

Demand secure elections!

Passage Follows U.N. Security Council Decision to Authorize Peacekeeping Troops in Darfur

Washington, DC – Last night, just hours after the U.N. Security Council announced its decision to authorize the deployment of peacekeeping troops to Darfur, the Senate passed a bipartisan resolution (S. Res. 276) sponsored by Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Joseph R. Biden, Jr. (D-DE) and Ranking Member Senator Richard Lugar (R-IN) which calls for the immediate deployment of a peacekeeping mission to Darfur and lays out benchmarks for that mission

The poll is not for who you WANT to win, it's for who you THINK will win. Deceiving, don't know why they did it.

Just saw "SICKO" with 75 other Dems.

What I wanna know is, how do we get our government to be afraid of us, instead of the other way around.

Other countries get out into the streets, and their gov'ts fear them. For some reason Americans think that isn't "nice". I wonder why that is, brainwashed, stupid, afraid, lazy, they don't know which street?

The things we're doing aren't working too well, so we keep doing them, and we expect a different result?

WOW THIS IS GREAT...

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF VIRGINIA HAS A NEW SITE UP WITH ALL THE WACKO PEOPLE RUNNING FOR THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

AND THE LADY, ER WACKO RUNNING AGAINST OUR JOHN MILLER IS ON THE SITE.

CHECK THIS OUT.

Dear Linda,

Do you remember the George Allen "macaca" video?

That piece of coverage played an instrumental role in the election of Senator Jim Webb-- and winning back the United States Senate last year. But that turning point in Senator Webb's campaign would not have been possible without his dedicated staff members following George Allen's every move.

That's the kind of work we're doing here at the Democratic Party of Virginia. As the Research Director, I'm working to build a Party apparatus that can immediately respond to the missteps and lies told by the Republicans who are trying to maintain control of the General Assembly.

Today, we launched a new website dedicated to shining a spotlight on just how far out of touch Republicans are in this state. TheyDontGetVA.com is a new project for tracking the often strange, sometimes corrupt behavior of Virginia's more extreme candidates for office.

But this kind of tracking and research takes money. So I'm asking you to help us support your Democratic candidates by making a donation.

Hold them accountable by visiting our secure contribution page today.

We need your support to make sure voters know exactly what our opponents are saying. How else would we have caught George Allen in his "macaca" moment?

This week alone, Bill Bolling is holding two town hall meetings where he'll claim he wants to improve public education - then he's off to raise money for a state Senate candidate who wants to eliminate public education altogether!

This is the kind of extremist ideology we need to fight. It's the kind of extremist ideology we want to make sure isn't turned into Virginia policy. And it's exactly that extremist ideology that is out of step with Virginians. They just don't get Virginia!

And that's why we've launched this new website. Help us set up a state-of-the-art operation to bypass the media and take the story of their lies, flip-flops, and out-of-whack priorities directly to you.

I spend my days going through Republican documents, speeches, and video archives -- finding discrepancies in their speeches, holding them accountable for their shameless pandering, fact-checking their statements, and establishing a larger narrative to frame our opponents. We need your help to make sure we have the resources to get the job done right.

This is the information we need to know -- and we need your help to make it happen. That's how we'll win in November! So please donate today.

See you in the field!

Sincerely,

Greg Scanlon
Research Director, DPVA

What I wanna know is, how do we get our government to be afraid of us, instead of the other way around.

Michael,
This should about cover the march of the Bonus Army.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonus_Army

It was in 1932 and hungry vets wanted their bonuses now instead of later. They were refused and Gen MacArthur rode the army on them. One of the army leaders doing the damage was George Patton.
A year later, Pres Roosevelt sent Eleanor to negotiate and the troops signed up to build the road connecting Key West to the mainland. This action a year earlier led to Hoovers's defeat and the settlement led to the GI Bill of Rights (which is how I went to college).

Under The Influence60 Minutes' Steve Kroft Reports On Drug Lobbyists' Role in Passing Bill That Keeps Drug Prices High

Look at this contradiction.  Obama is running away with it.  Are these our very own blog readers who like the idea of Pakistan with nukes/terrorists?  Goodness.

After breaking the 40-percent high-water mark last week in a string of national polls, Hillary Clinton keeps inching upwards and padding her lead.
According to both today's NBC/Wall Street Journal poll and today's Rasmussen daily Presidential tracking poll, she now has a 21-point lead over the rest of the field.

audrey

what is interesting(or not) is that the bandwagon effect is powerful enough that polls asking the question that way before the caucus are more accurate (sadly) the question I asked about second choice above

right now the anti corporatist  list of viable candidates in Iowa is one

the good news is he continues to lead

but Obama is framing his domestic dialogue to triangulate Edwards and his pro-military talk is just enough out. now. to position himself inside Clinton so he gains on both fronts this week

the past week has been Obama's best so far, he has a good team

Obama has a good manipulative *say anthing to get elected* team.  Disgusting.

Is it possible that the *race* started so early so that there would be less coverage of putzfollies?

seashell,
Am puzzled...
Bombing Pakistan makes it more likely that the nukes will become available to other terrorists. Even if bin Laden is killed, so will a lot of others which will breed more terrorists.

I am really tired of politicians who sell out their own beliefs. Both Hillary and Obama are showing lacks of principles. They need to stop seeing how high they can pee on the fence post.
There was a blog on Huffington where the author essentially said that bombing is cool; just don't invade.
The last I heard, bombing is an invasion.

GOLDEN, Colo. (AP) - A strong earthquake struck Thursday off the coast of Vanuatu in the South Pacific, originating far below the ocean floor.

The 7.2 quake, which hit at 4:08 a.m. local time, didn't trigger any tsunamis around the archipelago and little damage was expected because it originated 108 miles beneath the ocean's surface, said Waverly Person, a geophysicist with U.S. Geological Survey's National Earthquake Information Center.

The earthquake hit 28 miles southeast of the Vanuatu town of Luganville and 1,240 miles northeast of Brisbane, Australia.

Pat Roberts and the "700 Club" get into the vaccine debate.  I was really surprized to see this.  A very good report too, spot on with the facts,  nothing about HPV in the video....

...Now a June survey of more than 10,000 families suggests the problems are more than speculative.
It found teenage boys vaccinated as children were:

--Twice as likely to suffer from autism
--Four times as likely to have Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
--And boys and girls of all ages - vaccinated as children - were more than twice as likely to have developed asthma.

At one time, Beth Miers thought vaccine critics were kooks.

"That's crazy, why would you not vaccinate your child?" Meirs believed. "You want to put your child in danger of developing those diseases? And so I really did think these people were way out there."
But her mind changed in March when a doctor found that her....

Gov'ts being afraid. was the point being made in "Sicko". I was advocating more impressive marches.

Yes, I'm familiar with Kent, my daughter was a student there. I was there myself in the demonstration previous to the killings. She called me to tell me she thought the Repub. students were trying to provoke an incident.

Yes, also Chicago. McCarthy asked us all to try to keep the volunteers home, he said he feared for their safety in Chicago. We had a big picnic that day, but it didn't work. As soon as the picnic was over they left for Chicago. My husband and I followed the next morning when we saw what happened.
