We all know how the GOP blathers on about supporting the troops, quick with their bumper stickers and sloganeering, often hiding behind said troops in lieu of an actual policy. And this at a time that Veterans care would have to elevated to reach the criteria or description of sub standard. At a time when families suffer from continual deployment, PTSD is ignored at a time horrendous numbers of suicides are being reported and veterans are falling through societys ever widening cracks. From an Administration that sent troops unequipped and without a plan into a long quagmire of conflict.

But now there is something President Bush can do for one veteran.

I know... we are all sick of the pathetic Craig saga -- on many levels -- as we watch a career deservedly go down the toilet. But, with the news that Senator Craig will announce his resignation tomorrow there is an issue that needs to discussed. And celebrated.

Lost amongst the roar of the flushing toilet that is the Neo Con Morality, the pitter patter of rats running down the gangway of the GOP ship of state and chimpy's pathetic explanations of his abject failure to rebuild New Orleans on the second anniversery of Katrina is a story out of New York.

Lady Bird Johnson is dead At 94. Of course when someone of that age it is not unexpected, especially after a lengthy illness --but nonetheless a sad occaision.

Like many a Kossack I have an affinity (actually more like an obsession) for all things electoral. If it votes I follow it. The only game in town lately (at least untill the Ukraine votes) are the ninth elections for the Presidency of the Fifth Republic, the first round of which is scheduled for April 22. As I just returned the other day from a couple of weeks in that country I must be some sort of expert. Or at least I have appointed myself as one.

A very quick diary here as I have to go work in a few minutes. But CNN just came out and said Hillary is 'officially' in the race. Surer, enough, I looked up from coffee and saw her webcast, basiclly confirming what CNN said.

I'm watching the Situation Room right now and Jack Cafferty just put up a poll for the next hour asking about todays non sitting of Congress.
( actually they were sitting in a Pro Forma sesson at 2:00 PM(eastern)). It appears that the reason is because Congressman Boehner, he of the GOP leadership, had a request. He had a conflict to his schedule.

it is apparent that Republican's will lose. As grim polling numbers for the GOP become a fixture and newspapers across the country endorse Democrats it is not hard to feel a sense of impending victory emerging in the psyche of many a long suffering Democrat. It really does feel good but it might be a mistake. Read More
