It's been a week, and it was an awesome night. Truly awesome. We've really beaten back the Tea Party for now.

But I still see too many diaries, even a week after it is all said and done, about how awful a person Romney is, how many lies he told, and on and on and on.

So yeah, I'm still happy. But there's a real battle now brewing over real tax policy that we need to win, and America needs us to win. And is anyone going to pay attention to us they see us as being gloaty and sore winners. I know they've been heaping hate on us through Fox News for years and years and years. I know this all feels rather cathartic. But,

We have to be better people than those who we purport to be more competent to replace. Even if it kills us. I'll end before it gets too preachy. :-)

"Life is that gift from God. I think that even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something God intended to happen."
-- Indiana U.S. Senate candidate Richard Mourdock (R), at a debate tonight with Rep. Joe Donnelly (D).

Well, this was listed as a tossup on TPM, whose "horse race" mentality still even lists PA as a tossup, when even RCP has Obama +5 in PA. They have Mourdock only up +.3, but I'm guessing when local media gets ahold of this, it might seem over. Or maybe the national media wants another rape controversy bite. Read More

This isn't a long diary, by any means, but it is important. A colleague of mine in politics around the area has just unveiled what may be our best weapon against corporate money and lobbying. The weapon is transparency and technology. And Obama brought it to us. Obama always does what he can, even when he doesn't have Congress behind him.

Now, if only the media will use it and talk about it. Let everyone know.

No, it wasn't man made. Here's the proof.

Now, I am not going to do this in a way that is full of snark, cause I have to say this diary was written in a rather measured and logically formulated way.

A campaign has started on facebook to declare March 31st an official "No Gas Day." That doesn't mean fill up your car on the 30th, that means that on the 31st we need as many people to ditch their cars, take the bus, carpool, or find some other way to work as humanly possible.
