I know there are lists floating around, but I wanted to condense it down to a short list that can easily be emailed, posted or printed and carried around.

BaucusBucks (tm), the fun game courtesy of Senator Max Baucus, where anyone can play along!!

Here's how it works:
Just try to imagine what you would have spent that $1100 that Max Baucus just picked from your pockets and handed to his friends in the insurance industry.

A weekend excursion? Getting those teeth fixed finally? Replenshing what's left of your 401K? A new distributor for that old jalopy which won't start?

Fun for the whole family!!

I've seen lists floating around, but I've condensed this list, of Senators who are not clearly for or against a robust public option, down to a short cheatsheet that you can email, post, or print out and carry around.

In today's Washington Post, Michael Scheuer trots out the usual argument about the "ticking timebomb scenario":

In surprisingly good English, the captive quietly answers: 'Yes, all thanks to God, I do know when the mujaheddin will, with God's permission, detonate a nuclear weapon in the United States, and I also know how many and in which cities." Startled, the CIA interrogators quickly demand more detail. Smiling his trademark shy smile, the captive says nothing. Reporting the interrogation's results to the White House, the CIA director can only shrug when the president asks: "What can we do to make Osama bin Laden talk?"

Let's pretend that this 0.0001% scenario -- which has never occured -- happens and that the US captures a top Al Qaeda member who has fresh info on a pending attack.

I'm not saying we're there yet, but what would be the signs that so-called "Netroots" has moved from a smart, savvy, often prgamatic and energetic movement to push progressive reform into hubris and power-hunger?

Some suggested signs to watch for:

The faux "bittergate" scandal is winding down, but I do want to call attention to one thing overlooked: The press reaction has been that what Obama said was a "gaffe" and politically perilous, the worst crisis since Rev. Wright. My question is (the horse race aspect aside) why???

Specifically, the remarks on clinging to guns, God, and anti-immigrant sentiment are singled out. The key point overlooked is that the remarks that are supposedly untouchable are taboo only from an ultra-rightwing perspective. From a liberal perspective, they are entirely legitimate, and more than that, totally correct, at least from a liberal POV.
