As many of you might know, Sam Seder's tenure as an on air Air America host is likely coming to an end this weekend. While Shpilk wrote earlier this month regarding Seder's last live appearance, Sam's blog indicates that the very last episode is likely to air today.

A group of Clinton large donors are now chastising and threatening the Speaker for her reasonable comments concerning the obligations of superdelegates.

You can read their open letter here

But enough already, Speaker Pelosi also needs hear from the millions of small donors that are busy trying to take this party back from such large donor dinosaurs and return it to the Democratic rank and file.

Follow me over the fold for a small donor's letter to Pelosi (with a little help from the Clinton original.....

Or at least that's what Jake Jacobs - Military Analyst - tells us in an MSNBC column from today. How do we know this? It seems that the ever mendacious Obama has been caught relating an obviously false anecdote about the experiences of an certain Army captain in Afghanistan.

Does this sound familiar? Follow me a bit further...

Wouldn't you know it? The one day I'm feeling really argumentative, and would like to exercise my traditional (D)emocratic right to argue with others of my persuausion about important issues, an even more important issue drains all the vitriol from the room.

Whatever.

If you've got a chip on your shoulder about something other than Connecticut, just step up and I'll do my best to knock it off.

Enough comity. I'm spoiling for a fight! Whadayagot!

THE SOURCES OF REPUBLICAN CONDUCT
By X Redux
Part I

The political personality of Republican power as we know it today is the product of ideology and circumstances: ideology inherited by the present Republican leaders from the movement in which they had their political origin, and circumstances of the power which they now have exercised for nearly three decades in the United States. There can be few tasks of psychological analysis more difficult than to try to trace the interaction of these two forces and the relative role of each in the determination of official Republican conduct, yet the attempt must be made if that conduct is to be understood and effectively countered....

In his interesting recent book, War is a Force That Gives Us Meaning, Chris Hedges meditates on the ways in which the experience of war conditions and distorts the national self-consciousness of the nations involved....
On the other side of the fold, I had some thoughts about the place of literature in relation to the myths of war, and I wanted to hear back from any and all about what suggestions you might have for readings about war - whether that war is experienced at the battle front or the home front.

As many have probably already noticed, Georgia10's friendly reminder about the rules of DKos posting has set off a spirited discussion in the diary section. As a no less friendly response, I'd like to encourage all DKos readers to spend some time reading the rules... and then make every effort to break them whenever possible.

Larry O'Donnell indicated at the Huffington Post that Newsweek was already working on the Rove-Plame angle. Newsweek has a short piece online right now at the above link. After a quick read, though, I'm not certain how much this piece really advances our knowledge in any real way. It does appear that Cooper's contacts with Rove may have taken place before the Novak article which would seem to leave the latter exposed to more than mere perjury. Good to see this emerging prominently in the MSM, but the waters are still mighty murky!
