My Mayor and progressive all-around-good-guy, Rocky Anderson, is debating Sean Hannity here in Salt Lake City, Utah in approximately one hour, that's 8:45 mountain standard time.

Rocky is nationally known as one of the most progressive Democratic mayors in the country. He's shown amazing character, eloquence, and bravery in his tenure as mayor in the little blue dot inside a big red state that is Salt Lake City.

This is a live, podium-to-podium debate sponsored by the University of Utah. Hannity can't shut off Rocky's microphone...

"voting for the democrats. recent news has got me too pissed off."

Just got this as I was heading out of the Helen Thomas lecture here in Salt Lake City, Utah. (It was off the hizzle -- Helen rocked the house.)

Awesome. 2 more.

Good things happening in the West, it seems.

These are my good friends Mike and Marsha, husband and wife, Dallas TX Republicans. I recently visited them, gave them a copy of How Would a Patriot Act by Greenwald.

Marsha told me she and Mike had actually been discussing Bush and the current GOP leadership a lot lately, and were getting angry about the direction they were taking the country.

Marsha told me it was the spying stuff that really pushed them over the edge.

w00t!

Bush has this nice little habit of using Utahns for photo props.

During Katrina, he used our firefighters.

I remember when Harry Taylor stood up and spoke truth to power.

A spell was broken. Suddenly, you could plainly see Bush's town hall was nothing more than a disingenuous psy-op against his own people. Everyone felt a little less alone, a little braver, a little lighter.

Then there was this guy named Stephen Colbert -- But he wasn't very funny.

Enter Ray McGovern.

Rob Hebert of NYT had an interesting editoral today entitled "The Fear Factor". You'll need a subscription to view the whole article.

It is time for the American people to wise up. From the very beginning, the so-called war on terror was viewed by the Bush crowd as a magical smoke screen, a political gift from the gods that could be endlessly manipulated to justify all kinds of policies and behavior -- including the senseless war in Iraq -- that otherwise would never have been tolerated by the American people.

Rob states what he believes the invasion of Iraq was really about:

That fear, and the patriotism felt by so many millions of Americans, have been systematically exploited by the administration. The invasion of Iraq was not about terror. It was about oil and schoolboy fantasies of empire and whatever weird oedipal dynamics were at work in the Bush family.

My question: What is the plan to use nuclear weapons against Iran really all about?
