Baseball season is upon us, and for those of you who have too much time on your hands, and who require an escape from reality, I am offering two alternatives . . . well really, two versions of one alternative: The Kossack Baseball leagues . . .

There are two leagues that you can sign up for . . . one is NL-only and the other is AL-only. Information below the fold:

Impeachment is of course off the table in Congress, and in the Media. But reading through the comments in Buddydharma's diary about Wexler, I came across an inspiring comment by bustacap showing how each and every one of us, every one of our children, can add our voices creatively to the debate.

An interesting comment in the Harriet Miers diary got me thinking and researching the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (aka RICO). What I knew, but didn't remember was that this law authorizes private parties to bring civil actions and recover treble damages. Who can do this? Well let's look below.

18 US Code 1961 et.seq.

My supposedly progressive Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown voted to give George W. Bush a blank check. I am stunned. I suppose I shouldn't be given the way he muscled himself into the Senate race in 2005, but I thought Ohio for once had a decent and humane voice in the United States Senate. Instead what we have is a snivelling pathetic rubber stamp for the George Bush regime.

Not one more dime you bastard. Mike DeWine would have done about as much.

Well, it appears that our fearful leaders are about to betray their principles. No timeline. No benchmarks.

WASHINGTON (AP) - After weeks of refusing to back down to President Bush on setting a timetable on Iraq, House Democratic leaders face having to explain to their party's rank and file why they've now relented.

Party officials said Monday the next war spending bill most likely will fund military operations and not demand a timeline to bring troops home, although it will contain other restrictions on Bush's Iraq policies.

On May 1, Bush vetoed a $124.2 billion bill that would have paid for combat in Iraq and Afghanistan through September as Bush requested, but demanded that troops start coming home this fall.

Democrats say they hope to send Bush a new bill by the end of the week he will sign, and troops in combat will get the resources they need without disruption.

Sad but true. It is a diversion and an amusement. And a good time. If you feel the same way that I do, I am starting a league exclusively for interested Kossacks - - a NL-only roto league - - 11 teams maximum - - maybe 12 if there is a lot of interest. Details are below the fold:

It's getting to be about that time: Baseball season is nearly upon us. So I am taking the bull by the horns and reviving the legendary kossack AL-only rotisserie baseball league. 11 teams maximum for now. Given the size of the league and the relatively shallow talent pool, one winds up breathlessly waiting for the Kansas City Royals to call up their hot prospect pitcher.

Details below:

If this has been diaried before, I will delete this . .. but I think it is important to keep track of these things.

Yesterday, Senator Wayne Allard of Colorado introduced an amendment to eliminate the federal minimum wage. This means that instead of making $5.15 per hour, which is the current federal minimum wage, workers in Kansas would make $2.65 per hour. Workers in Alabama, Mississippi and South Carolina and a couple of others would be unprotected.

The amendment was defeated, 69-28 - - here is a list of the votes on this issue.

I am a midwesterner, born and bred. My wife put me through school working at Chrysler Motors; my first job out of college was working for an auto parts manufacturer. A good part of my professional life has been spent in assisting automobile-related companies in staying open and expanding. My state, Ohio, is shuddering as the automobile industry slowly dies.

Bad news is rampant of course . . . the most recent news:

DEARBORN, Mich. - Ford Motor Co. lost a staggering $12.7 billion in 2006 _ an average of $4,380 for every car and truck it sold.
The company that invented the assembly line and whose name was a byword for the auto industry warned it will bleed cash for two more years before it has a shot at making money.

I don't know. Maybe it's just the season. And yes it's old news. But there are a lot of fine people serving in the armed forces. A lot of them are giving their life and limb. I thought we were a country at war. 100 dead in Iraq this month. 657,000 dead civilians in Iraq.

And so this is how members of the President's family serve their country. Here is a photo of Pierce Bush, the 20 year old son of Neil Bush (the President's Brother) having a great time.

Just another Korean War vet with movie star good looks? Not quite. Pat Tiberi, the Republican Congressman from Ohio's 12 th District, is making quite an effort to educate the people of his district to this man's name. Thanks Pat! Read More
