Today's Raleigh News & Observer has an article titled Contest for 13th already strident. The article describes the attacks that incumbent (and regular Kosack) Brad Miller has been receiving from his Republican challenger Vernon Robinson. You have to read it because its such a great demonstration of hysterical Republican rhetoric and also because I think the N&O does a responsible job of addressing the claims. Read More

Even though its par for the course, this story is really galling. Employees in Florida's Department of Environmental Protection were told to go easy on the corporate violators. And then, when they conducted an internal review it was a complete whitewash. The investigator ignored the sworn testimony of 10 employees and let all the politcal appointees off.

Of course, from DC to Pensacola, to Barrow, this is the way the GOP works. It washes the hands of of its contributors in exchange for posh trips and hefty campaign contributions.

I've already posted a comment griping about the short shrift Dr. King's birthday gets in the US. So I won't beat that horse to death.

Instead, I'm offering these pictures as an inspiration.

From The Smoking Gun, I came across these mug shots of both Dr. King and Rosa Parks

For me, I'm going to put these up in my office as a reminder of how the human spirit can soar in the face of biggotry and evil. And as a reminder of what we can accomplish when our cause is just and our resolve is firm.

The opposition to our progressive causes is daunting today. This opposition ranges from the distortions of the media, to the lies of the theocrats, to the inertia of the government, to the lazy self-interest of the people. There many arrayed before us who are working to see us fail. But it has always been so. There always have been bullies and thugs trying to prevent equality, true equality, among all men.

These pictures stand to remind us that we must stand up to the bullies and thugs and that we can, from time to time, defeat them

In an effort to fight the Marriage Protection Amendment, I got myself on the mailing list from the American Family Association. They were leading a number of efforts to contact representatives etc. etc. and I wanted to match their comments with my own.

Well, its been a continuing source of amusement as I get an email every week with a fresh "outrage" and a new call to action.

This week, they're calling for a boycott of Procter & Gamble because of their support for "the Homosexual Agenda" and this seemed like a great stage to mount a response. Read More
