Just a short poem ....

I can still breathe
My job was surplused recently
But I can still breathe
My health insurance will expire soon
And I can still breathe
My savings will be exhausted in not too long
I will still be able to breathe, I hope
...

The auto-industry could go bankrupt, and the people of Michigan would be among the hardest hit. Hearing the pleadings of the senators from the state of Michigan to their colleagues in the Senate, it feels like they are on their knees. They seem to be begging the others to negotiate in good faith and not hold the auto-industry hostage to the 'free-market principles'. I wonder if they feel, or are made to feel, like they live in, or represent, a part of the 'third world'?

Terrorists stuck New Delhi this Saturday evening. Five bombs went off, within minutes of each other, in some of the most heavily frequented markets in the city. Three other bombs were successfully defused by the authorities. Over 18 people have been killed and over 90 have been injured.
I spent three decades of my life in New Delhi. It pains me tremendously to see some of my favorite places being bombed by terrorists. On behalf of myself and all liberty-loving people of the United States, I offer solemn prayers and solidarity to the families of those killed and hurt.

Of late, McCain seems to want to run on a CHANGE mission. The goal is to neutralize Obama's key and consistent message over the last 19 months, by dividing and conquering Change.

I live in Austin and was very keenly looking forward to Netroots event, but sadly won't be able to attend the event next week. I have a scheduling conflict and need to be out of town next week.

I am willing to sell my registration for $195. Please respond to this diary if you are interested. I have contacted the organizers and the registration can be transferred very quickly upon hearing from you.

thank you.

Every single-issue person is a purist, even if that single issue is the Constitution. Purists have a holier than thou self-image. That makes purists vociferous and bold in action. They look down in total amazement upon others that do not share their passion.

Why is purity about the Constitution any different than purity about any of the other major issues like Guns or Abortion or Economy? I don't think there is a difference. No, but constitution is a level higher and encompasses all the other issues, say the constitutional purists. Well, yes, but only from a legal standpoint. There is a custom and tradition part of life that predates laws and can not be ignored.

More under the fold ...

Now that Barack Obama has become the presumptive nominee of the Democratic party, it is time to be more vigilant against accidents of the unpredictable kinds.

Yes, it is improbable but not impossible. We should aim high, and beat Reagan's 49-1 record landslide over Mondale in 1984. With Arizona becoming a swing state, the clean sweep is entirely possible.

Barack's presidential campaign is itself, in his own words, an improbable journey ... to reach the highest office in this land. With an official DNC 50-state strategy being executed for quite some time now, we need to convert it into a 50-stage-victory strategy for this presidential cycle.

This text on Obama's website today caught my attention:

(David) Wu is Senator Obama’s 240th Superdelegate endorsement. Senator Obama is now 291 delegates away from winning the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination.

Barack Obama site - David Wu

This is what salespeople call a presumptive close. That is very smart and honorable salesmanship on Obama's part. We now officially know it will take only 291 more delegates to achieve the goal/sale. We are more than 85% of the way through to the goal. I suggest DailyKos also maintain a counter as we countdown from this number to Zero, and thus Victory!
