You know, the day when we turn the clock back? The day we enjoy the brief pleasure of sleeping in one more hour, only to later wonder why the darkness falls so soon. Just like the tax cut checks, a transitory gain that must be paid for later.

FL has 185 pledged delegates
MI has 128 pledged delegates

What if about 150 to 160 of Hillary Clinton's superdelegates offered to give their convention voting rights/seats to the MI & FL delegates pledged to vote for Hillary?

Likewise, 40 to 50 of Barack Obama's superdelegates could give their seats to the FL delegates pledged to vote for him.

Uncommitted or John Edwards delegates from FL & MI could get seats from currently uncommitted supers or Edwards supers who really want to avoid getting into the middle of this piefight.

From the Daily Howler:

THE HOTLINE (3/12/99):
GORE: GOP GUFFAWS OVER HIS CLAIM HE CREATED INTERNET
In an interview shown on CNN 3/9, Gore was asked about his vision and his experience and he mentioned that while he served in Congress, "I took the initiative in creating the Internet." Rep. Mark Foley: "The vice president is mistaken. The only thing he has ever invented is another tax. He did not invent the Internet but he sure did tax it." (Reuters, 3/12).

This is just one more "boycott Disney" diary, but with an idea that I haven't seen on the other diaries.

My family and I don't go to the movies very often, and we don't have cable. But we do RENT movies and TV series, in our case from Netflix (which we love). So, I went thru our Netflix queue and removed everything from ABC, Disney, Pixar, Buena Vista, etc. (List of Disney owned stuff at http://freepress.net/...)

My new idea was to also politely inform Netflix what I was doing... Read More

I posted my first diarly on DailyKos on May25, in response to a not so favorable NPR review of "An Inconvenient Truth" by Richard Harris and Bob Mondelo on May24. Those who read my diary may recall that I was particularly displeased with Harris's performance.

My original diary/rant is here:
The original NPR broadcast:

Well, I enjoyed that first diary and it really let me blow off some steam. I thought that was the end of it, but HARRIS RESPONDED! And his reponse just made things worse. Read More

I apologize for the DailyHowler-like rant, but I'm posting this because I'm just mad as heck and I want as many people as possible to give NPR a piece of their mind. Peter Pan posted a diary ystdy that touched on this, but I felt the need to go into much greater detail.

Richard Harris's and Bob Mondello's comments in their May 24th review of "An Inconvenient Truth" left me with that mild aftertaste of disgust that has become quite familar to me in listening to NPR.
http://www.npr.org/...

My revulsion is due to my growing recognition that NPR, like the rest of "MainStream Media," vitiates itself with meaningless "balance" and contorts itself to find "controversy" in order to appear unbiased, and in the process sacrifices the truth.

Harris spends about 16 seconds (out of a 500 second segment) near the start conceding that Gore is right, then spends the rest of the time elaborating on the "Gore exaggerates" theme that was so familiar in 2000.
