I just read the inauguration day line up on Huffington Post and I have to say I'm outraged.

Musical Selection, John Williams, composer/arranger

Itzhak Perlman, Violin

Yo-Yo Ma, Cello

Gabriela Montero, Piano

Anthony McGill, Clarinet

John Fucking Williams? Yo-Yo Fucking Ma?

I lost two two grandparents this year. My maternal grandmother died in March after a losing a short battle with multiple myeloma. My paternal grandfather died two weeks ago after suffering from congestive heart failure for over 30 years. Both of them were Democrats. Both of them supported Barack Obama. Neither of them lived long enough to cast their vote or see him take office.

The shame of Iowa, Rep. Steve King (IA-05), recently met with the editorial board of the Des Moines Register. Previously, King has claimed that terrorists "dance in the streets" if Obama wins in November. A member of the editorial board asked him about that statement. His response and a link to the video is below.

I'm going to repost Elise's Diary from Monday because I truly believe we have a shot at these districts. $5 buys postage for 12 mailings. $10 will help put an ad in a local paper. Any amount will help send a Democrat to Washington. Latham is a closet winger who is relying on name recognition to get him re-elected. He doesn't even mention that he's a Republican anywhere on his website. Steve King tops the list of the most vile people in DC. His racism and xenophobia have earned him a forced retirement from Congress. Help us show him the door.

(This one goes out to droogie)

The AP doesn't know the difference between Obama and McCain. In an article picked up by Yahoo News, Terrence Hunt of the AP substitutes Obama's name for McCain's.

Obama heaped criticism and sarcasm on John McCain, his Republican rival, and mocked his call to fire the head of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

...

He said Obama was so out of touch that the White House had to distance itself from his statement Monday that the fundamentals of the economy were sound. President Bush has used that same language but his press secretary would not repeat the line Wednesday in the face of historic financial turbulence.

Umm...AP? Obama never said the fundamentals of the economy are sound. That was your buddy McCain's line of the day.

The situation in eastern Iowa is reaching crisis stage. Flood levels are in the 500 year flood zone and the rivers have not yet crested. Officials in Cedar Rapids, Coralville, and Iowa City have issued mandatory evacuation orders in portions of their cities and more are probably around the corner. The Iowa River will crest early next week at stages much higher than the historic floods of 1993. Things are going to get a whole lot worse before they get better.

Links and other info on the flip.

Let the Townhouse bloggers have their fun with their bullshit stories based on bullshit talking points fed to them from jeebus knows where. Those of us on the ground have no time for pundits who would rather fight the war of ideas at home instead of putting their energy into electing Democrats.

Two weeks ago kid oakland posted a diary called Racism and Bigotry have no place on DailyKos. The premise was clear:

outright racism and bigotry have no place in our community.

On the day he wrote that I couldn't have agreed more enthusiastically. Since then I have changed my mind. Outright racism and bigotry have found a place in our community. Outright racism and bigotry are tolerated by the admins of this community. Outright racism and bigotry have found a home on DailyKos. HarveyMilk led the charge with his now deleted blackface diary and an extremely conditional apology (don't believe the "unconditional apology" hype). Tonight memekiller followed the lead. Who will post the next one? How many good people will leave as a result?

At a bare minimum, they need to be willing to vote to sustain the filibuster. Anything less says "I am not willing to stand strong against George W. Bush's assault on the Constitution." Leadership would entail participating. - MissLaura

Right now is the time for them to respond...do they stand with Dodd or with George Bush? - BarbinMD

I'm tired of words. At this point, the only thing that speaks is action. - kos

I'm tired of words too. I'm also tired of bullshit Bush style you're-with-us-or-you're-against-us framing. That seems to be Standard Operating Procedure on the front page now, so I guess I'll play along.
