So at 11:28 EDST Sec. Kerry posted an article on the Huffington post declaring 'Onward' in the effort to round up war criminals with the focus being on Kony in Africa but mentioning several others worldwide. It took until 12:21 for 2 posts to pass moderater muster and to even post that 27 more were pending. The content of these posts is easily guessed, get our own war criminals rounded up first then our credibility in the arena of this topic may rise. As I continue to update, one of the two posted comments have come down, now 29 pending comments. An hour and 10 min after posting, still only the one comment- sad.

We are never going to get to hear from the sector of the country that wants justice on this issue, it's under the rug and will stay there...until we pull up the corner and see it, Arriana we need your help!

TX-18 Senate Race could be a surprise, with a little help!

Pat Olney is running for the Texas Senate in the historically competitive FORMERLY BLUE 18th District on the Jedi side of the ticket. She's a retired teacher, retired private investigator and relentless democratic activist. She's strong on Education, Transportation and Water Rights/Distribution. The district was held for 20 years by Democrat Ken Armbrister until 2006 when he retired and Dems left the seat UNDEFENDED!!!

(This cycle the Dems left 8 of the 16 Senate races unopposed! 31 total seats: D 12, R 19)

This district is slightly gerrymandered, smack dab in between Austin and Houston and heads to the coast south. It was manipulated to make an increasingly red suburban/rural district.

She's been a legislative ombudsman for retired teachers for years and knows and works with the entire state legislature. She has visited all 19 counties TWICE this election season and intends to continue meeting with folks from all over the district right up until election day!

SHE COULD USE A LITTLE HELP......follow me............!

.... we have a long way to go, FReepers are still in 69th place!

I would like to thank the now about 25 of you who answered the call to join team Daily Kos on Stanford University's protein folding project.

In less than a month Team Daily Kos has climbed from 425 to 402 and have mega-increased our daily output.

I beseech the rest of you to volunteer your idle CPU's and GPU's to the cause!

***************A CALL TO ~~ARMS~~ PROCESSING UNITS!!***************

In my pursuit of a new graphics card (leading candidate) I have stumbled upon a competition between our blogs that has been ongoing behind the scenes for years, the Folding@home distributed research project from Stanford University in its 9th year.

It involves allowing the project to use the CPU, GPU or both from your home computer as a point on a worldwide internet supercomputer to assist them and affiliated universities in performing complex modeling experiments on how proteins fold in the moments after they have finished being encoded. A multitude of diseases are due to abberations in the folding process.

The amount of work done by any individual (allows multiple computers per log-in) is recorded and points for your work can be dedicated to a cumulative team score then ranked by team totals.

Team FReeper is ranked in the low 70's.
Team DailyKos is ranked in the mid 420's.
Team RedState is ranked in the 1150's.

This is UNACCEPTABLE for a site that boasts so many medicine and science buffs!!!!

Details below...

You are breaking your oath if you vote against the Democratic plan to provide healthcare to all citizens of the United States!

I was the Election Judge for the Dem side for 4 Pcts in the N. Dallas suburbs. We voted ~750 people on 2 machines ! I know for certain many of my GOP neighbors were voting with a gleam in their eye and sniping/whispering that they were "spoiling" our results. I didn't know what they were up to until this AM when I saw the results. There was clearly was enough GOP HRC crossover to affect the primary count. I ball park estimate 50 folks out of the total were there for this reason. There was no exit polling and there is no way to know with any accuracy.

This is anecdotal and as someone with research experience I am aware my opinion is useless, and yet I feel the need to express it anyway.

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines patriotism as: love for or devotion to one's country.
It defines nationalism as: loyalty and devotion to a nation; especially : a sense of national consciousness exalting one nation above all others and placing primary emphasis on promotion of its culture and interests as opposed to those of other nations or supranational groups.

These two definitions on the surface are very much alike, but modern usage I think does reflect a difference I would like to expound upon.

Just ran into a new poll at Vote From Abroad showing Obama ahead in TX by 14!

The source article is HERE!

Now being a Pct Chair here in TX I must tell you that broad general polls of this nature mean nearly nothing, but this trend is widening.

More specifically I would like to see State Senatorial District estimations of likely delegate allocations and I have not found a poll that gets that detailed.

Weight challenged operatic diva warming up arytenoids at this time!

Obama's first 100 days!

Here are some joint suggestions from myself and (Kossack lurker TBA). It's time to get serious about what a Pres. Obama administration should be asking of the new veto-proof Congress. We feel that some of the Foreign Affairs issues are more amenable to immediate repair, being that they are so clear cut and fall to the Executive Branch to fix. The domestic agenda will be far more difficult to pass quickly, but needs to begin with sharp and vivid distinctions between the Dem and Rep points so that these get completed in the 1st term.
