John Roberts is great for the next wave of Rovegate. Lotsa reporters talking to lotsa politicians and lawyers about something else = lotsa opportunities for an off the record comment, a nudge toward some further evidence. As regards the public, right now it's so obvious the Rovettes are covering ass with chopsticks; not a bad time for a break in the action to allow that impression to harden, and how wonderful to have the other team call for it out of weakness that all can see. For America to win, the Rove Philosophy must lose. And now a song: Read More

the compromise

Bush: I got it! I got it! OK now, listen up, 'cause this is good. We'll do this one thing I want right here. And then over here we'll do this other thing I want. ....Cumon', I'm bendin' over backwards; did I mention about the political price for saying no to the people's business?

"The Armageddon-fueled worldview of the "Left Behind" books extends its spell by the day, soon to surface in a new NBC prime-time mini-series, "Revelations," being sold with the slogan "The End is Near.""

Frank Rich NYT

This is a delicious sign of the coming, and it's coming faster than I expected. Supersaturation of RW Christian/Political propaganda is here. "The End is Near", I couldn't have said it better. The zealots and the money changers have stripped themselves bare so even the blind may see. Read More

At lunch today President Bush ordered TGI Friday's half dozen jumbo shrimp appetizer. When he saw there were seven shrimp on the plate, he declared it a mandate and has decided to privatize the FDA.

Later this afternoon, stopping by a neighborhood church, President Bush thanked the Lord for creating in gay homosexuals a desire to be married.

I will not be gracious in defeat. Fuck that. The legacy of this election will be that demagoguery, voter suppression, and encouraging a climate of fear in the electorate work. A new generation of Republicans is now steeped in this reality and knows no other. This is the inherent weakness that is masked by victory and within this victory are the seeds of their defeat.

Thanks to prodding from this diary (How To Multiply Your Vote By 50 Or Even 100 Times... http://www.dailykos.com/story/2004/10/31/12239/220#55), I contacted ACT and was emailed a list of 50 Ohio Democratic leaning voters to call to remind to vote, give polling hours,etc. The tenth call went to a woman in Cincinnati (Mary) who lives in an assisted living home. She told me she had requested an absentee ballot but it had never arrived, and that she really wanted to vote. Read More

Double Your Vote

Up at 6:00 this morning to drive my sister into downtown Toledo so she could complete her absentee ballot. Tory has health and mobility problems that may have prevented her reaching the polls on Tues. and I won't be available on that day to help. By acting as we did we put one more in the bank for Kerry. Felt great. Also today I made sure that my son Riley knows where his polling place is. I called the BOE in Columbus, got the location and emailed that to him along with a Yahoo map. He will vote, I'm sure of it now; that's one more for Kerry. Read More
