Given the current state of the discourse in this country and the rampant threats of armed revolution, I believe as a progressive and liberal that it's time for us to start investing in and learning the art of the nunchaku. When confronted by the militia of armed conservatives attacking our government we will have to be trained in knocking guns out of their hands and possibly breaking their arms.

No longer is Sarah Palin a pitiable small town city council member who's out of her league on the big stage. No longer is she a former Miss Congeniality. No longer is this woman just a bad decision by the McCain camp (though she surely is that.) No longer is she just a sop to the right.

She's the enemy.

So yeah, I'm not pure. AT&T Uverse was sucking ass the past few days. We had them out because there was static on the line and internet and TV would both cut out when you got a phone call. Still, though, I would have had them come out to fix if it hadn't been for this FISA bullshit.

I'm switching to Time Warner and yes, I know they're no saints. In fact, I used to hate them more than AT&T. Still, it felt good to take money out of AT&T's pocket and put it in someone else's.

If I were Barack Obama I'd be pissed.

Frankly, I'm just a bit disappointed as General Wesley Clark's messaging. I was ecstatic when he began his campaign of criticizing John McCain's credentials to be President on Morning Joke but he blurted an easily soundbitten statement on Face the Nation that was also prettily easily twisted by the manipulative hacks in the media. His statement, "Well, I don't think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president," was not the best he could have done. Let's examine the statement, shall we?

Senator Clinton,

You made statements supporting the filibuster of the Protect America Act previously. Is that still your stance on this fundamentally unchanged bill? If so, I would be happy to donate to your campaign in order to assist you in your debt situation. Simply publicly state your opposition to FISA and place a hold on the bill and I will donate the fifty dollars I had planned to donate to Senator Obama's campaign.

Thanks so much,
A hopeful voter.

The same point that many people have been making was just made by on Countdown by Keith Olbermann. He pronounced Fox Noise as the worst persons in the world for merely saying that Tim Russert was a member of the liberal media.

Merely, I say, because that's not such a dig at Tim given that many consider NBC and MSNBC the more liberal news networks and Tim is a member of those networks. It's not an inaccurate statement despite the timing.

West Virginia Senator Robert Byrd was hospitalized this evening. He reported feeling lythargic and had a fever. His home caretaker called him an ambulance.

This was reported on Olbermann mere moments ago. Keith added that West Virginia's governor was a Democrat in case a successor were to be appointed.

I have no more information but I will update this diary when anything else comes out.

I am just about done with the worrying you anxiety ridden neurotics are engaged in here lately.

It seems everybody has written either in a diary, a front page entry, or in a comment how the math precludes a Hillary Clinton win but so many people still engage in hypotheticals regarding what they would do if she were to win the nomination.

Why?

Why not just stop it?

I was lucky enough to find out about the economic town hall here in Austin with Senator Obama and get tickets for it. Even though the event began at 9:30 this morning my boss was more than happy to let me attend as long as I brought her a button or a sticker or something. My wife, who had jury duty yesterday was able to snag tickets from UT and a Hispanic Community Center in town. We gave the other pair of tickets to another co-worker who was able to attend as well (our office is slightly liberal to say the least.)

This event was not about hope or change or any of the vague notions that Clinton supporters and/or Obama antagonists have accused the candidate of. The town hall focused specifically on his economic plan followed by a fairly long Q&A. My thoughts on it after the fold.

Jim Webb (D-VA) was one of the Democratic senators to cross the aisle and vote in favor of retroactive immunity. His name has been floated a few times on Daily Kos and elsewhere as a possible pick for Vice President. I respectfully submit that by voting in favor of retroactive immunity in favor of telecoms who broke the law and against citizens and the constitution that Jim Webb has shown himself to be a good enough senator for Virginia (certainly better than George Allen) but not quite progressive enough to run for Vice President.

I'm just running a scan to see if a vast left-wing botnet is attacking DailyKos by promoting every diary with certain keywords. Keywords commencing:
