This Clintonista went to see Joe last night and I got so fired up I was leading cheers for 1500 people! Everything about the event was terrific. Everyone associated with the Obama campaign was kind, helpful, polite and charming. And Joe! Wow! The mantra I picked from his speech was :"MCCAIN JUST DOESN'T GET IT." I also especially appreciated ,in light of today's news, his pledge that under an Obama/Biden administration no corporate CEO would be allowed to run your pension funding and savings into the ground and then walk away with a nice fat parachute! They are gonna have to empty their pockets first. No More Corporate Piracy. Finally. Healthcare . END TO THE WAR. JOBS.

I'll be brief. I do lots of political work from my computer and I just got attacked by an e-mail in my in box reading "MSNBC Breaking News:McCain Gives Up Fighting For Presidency" Luckily, I have very good security and it was nicked by my good friends at Norton just in time. Be careful folks. It is getting really ugly out there in the political trenches.

"To hear that a VA official is promoting misdiagnoses of soldiers to save money is unacceptable and is tantamount to fraud. "Letter from Barak Obama to Veterans Affairs Secretary James Peake
Obama is just plain, flat out wrong. There are no "misdiagnoses" to save money advocated for in this memo. It is Differential Diagnosis she is calling for. There may well be a fraud here but it is not Dr. Perez. It is fraud for the media and Obama to perpetuate a falsehood whether it be out of ignorance or sensationalism.

Last night on BBC I heard that 600-700 hundred Iraqi police had been poisoned when breaking their Ramadan fast.No story now on BBC. The largely Shia policemen were critically ill and several had died already. Where is this story? ABC News has it and I found it on Ireland Online who got it from Reuters but Reuters has nothing about it on their site. What gives? You would think that a story about Iraqi police rising from their meal en mass, falling over one another and bleeding from their facial orifaces would garner a little mention. Read More

They knew of a child predator in their midst. They had the legal responsibility of in loco parentis as the page program functioned as a school. Therefore, they were required by law to report child abuse and the name of the predator to law enforcement and Child Protective Services.

They did not. Find out why this makes them unfit to serve on the flip: Read More

Media Bistro just delivered the news. The Boston Globe reports that we lost our innocence. I always thought that when I lost my innocence, I would feel different. What a letdown. And instead of an apple from that ancient wood, it was Mark Warner's sushi. Read More

Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, the chief of staff to former Secretary of State Colin Powell, tells BBC interviewer Carolyn Quinn in the R4Todayprogram that accountability for the abuses of Iraqi prisoners must be given to Cheney and that it may be tantamount to an international crime. Wilkerson's account and language have been increasingly critical of Bush/Cheney as information unfolds in the public sphere about the run up to war. He uses his harshest language to date in asserting that Cheney is guilty certainly of domestic crime and that it may well transcend to international crime.

If what you say is correct, in your view, is Dick Cheney then guilty of a war crime?
Well, that's an interesting question - it was certainly a domestic crime to advocate terror and I would suspect that it is - for whatever it's worth - an international crime as well.

I heard this story very early Sunday (EST) but could find no mention in the blogosphere, not even on the BBC site. I found it on the Church of England site, entitled `Countering Terrorism: Power, Violence and Democracy Post 9/11' and it is a powerful indictment of the Bush administration, its misuse of religion as a cover for its aims for world domination, and the theological fallacies of the American Christian fundamentalism that supposts Bushco.

The WAPO reported on 9/3 that Rove illegally claimed the homestead exemption on his D.C. property because he is registered to vote in Texas. They had obtained information from San Antonio native Elizabeth Reyes, an attorney in the Elections Division of the Texas Secretary of State's office, who answered a hypothetical question posed by a WAPO reporter. Reyes stated that, given the scenario posed by the reporter, the ownership of Texas property may not qualify one to vote there. The story was widely reported, Rove was ordered to pay back taxes in DC, and on Tuesday 9/6, according to the San Antonio Express-News. Elizabeth Reyes was fired from her job. She never knew she was being interviewed, and Rove's name was never mentioned in the hypothetical case. And now Texas is trying to avert its eyes from considering it a case of voter fraud. Read More

I took the old track
The hollow shoulder, across the waters
On the tall cliffs
They were getting older, sons and daughters
The jaded underworld was riding high
Waves of steel hurled metal at the sky
And as the nail sunk in the cloud, the rain was warm and soaked the crowd.
When the flood calls,
You have no home, you have no walls
In the thunder crash
You're a thousand minds, within a flash
Don't be afraid to cry at what you see
The actor's gone, there's only you and me
And if we break before the dawn, they'll use up what we used to be.
Lord, here comes the flood
We'll say goodbye to flesh and blood
If again, the seas are silent
And any still alive
It'll be those who gave their island to survive
Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry.
HERE COMES THE FLOOD by Peter Gabriel

Like pollution and sewage rising to the surface of Lake Ponchartrain, an ugly face of America emerges once again. More shock and shame below the fold: Read More

This is just too juicy not to share. A Republican running for City Council of Charlotte, N.C. is exposed by another Republican on the City Council. Why? Oh baby, you can't make stuff up this despicable. If this were a paperback novel, the cover would be dripping with Spanish moss, a hulky, sweaty specimen of Southern manhood wrapped in the Confederate flag front and center. With glistening legs wrapped around a flagpole, an adoring bleached blond bombshell reaches out to stroke his homemade rifle held at attention in his brawny hands. In the background, Lady Liberty wrinkles her nose, a look of "What the....?" on her face. Read on. Read More
