I have no idea what the profile or demographic of Facebook users is, but check out this Causes page: http://apps.facebook.com/...

Out of the 924,683 people that signed in to change their status to a message about getting out to vote tomorrow, 67% of them chose Obama to 20% for McCain. That's a good, solid drubbing.

For your Sunday night listening pleasure. A little bit Ella. A little bit Brubeck. A little bit nonsense.

Audience members at a McCain rally in Cedar Falls on Sunday were removed because they looked like they "might be" protesters. It was mostly young people.

Maybe they thought they would act like the audience at the Daily Show.

Every author deserves a little feedback. No one deserves it more than Bryan Rudnick, the "creative" writer who penned this email saying electing Obama would bring on another Holocaust.

I posted his contact info in this thread, but wanted to make it easy for those who would like to give him your opinion of this already infamous email. An email that included this statement:

In the 5,796 years of our people, there has never been a more important time for us to take pro-active measures in order to stop a second Holocaust

Once upon a time, the war in Iraq and the safety of our troops was on the forefront of everyone's minds. I can't believe it's been three years since my wife and I created this Dove car magnet to send a message of peace and the desire to bring our troops safely home.

Don't know if anyone remembers the Terry Tate commercials for Reebok. Well, he's back...

They say laws were made to be broken. This is certainly true in President Bush's world.

WASHINGTON -- President Bush has quietly claimed the authority to disobey more than 750 laws enacted since he took office, asserting that he has the power to set aside any statute passed by Congress when it conflicts with his interpretation of the Constitution.
Among the laws Bush said he can ignore are military rules and regulations, affirmative-action provisions, requirements that Congress be told about immigration services problems, ''whistle-blower" protections for nuclear regulatory officials, and safeguards against political interference in federally funded research.

What a coincidence: I too have quietly claimed the authority to ignore 750 laws. By golly, I may not be president, but I'm a citizen of the country that he governs and if he can do it, so can I.

Okay. Enough is enough. The insanity must stop. The Washington Post is reporting that the price tag of the war is about to go up to $320 Billion. THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY. BILLION. DOLLARS.

Read about it and weep, folks: http://www.washingtonpost.com/...

The cost of the war in Iraq will reach $320 billion after the expected passage next month of an emergency spending bill currently before the Senate, and that total is likely to more than double before the war ends, the Congressional Research Service estimated this week.
The analysis, distributed to some members of Congress on Tuesday night, provides the most official cost estimate yet of a war whose price tag will rise by nearly 17 percent this year.

Go to this link now and listen to this song. It's the best thing since "Cheney's got a gun". It would have me laughing a lot more if my children's future wasn't being affected so much by an arrogant egghead.

Ah, it's great to live in a free country where anyone can lift themselves up by their own bootstraps and someday get a $400 million golden parachute when retiring from Exxon.

But an even better example of the big benefits of big business in the good ole US of A is the exciting news that Halliburton has been awarded a $385 million contract to build large-scale detention centers in case of an "emergency influx" of immigrants.

This is a win-win. Not only does Halliburton get to benefit and build on their best year of profits ever, but now we have a place to put all those pesky illegal immigrants, evildoers and naysayers.

Good morning, dKos community. I would love to get your input: A friend of mine is compiling a list of things that are simple to do but can make a person's life dramatically better (see examples below the fold). In other words, small changes that make a big difference.

It can be a change of habit, a new action, something you've stopped doing, a tip, or a product...anything you've discovered that has made a positive difference without needing you to change your whole life around.
