•  There's a diary already posted on this

  Up in the Recommended Diaries...fyi.

  •  I fear our friend Kos

    had to take down the recommended diaries.  If it's like yesterday, the cause is innumerable hits on the web site making it go down and down, but Maryscott's diary was a thing of beauty, and everyone should go and visit it.

    •  The Earthquake

      Could have something to do with it.

      Some details here.

      •  I grew up in California

        and have family out there, so I notice stuff like an earthquake out there.

•  Is this a real paper or another forgery?

  •  superscript?

    I don't know does it have superscript and proportional spacing?

    Can you type it up in word?

•  This proves that not all us Texans have drunk the

  Kool Aid. Another great Texas source of Bush family misdeeds is Molly Ivans. Great Job Kos!

  •  I know Texas will go for Bush

    but there have been some comments of late that it's a little closer the RoveBushCo might like.  What's your take on Texas?

    •  I live in a suburb of dallas called Plano

      There are alot of folks here who are fed up. I attended a Democratic Party meeting this Saturday and I don't see anyone giving up. We have alot of Democrats in Texas and they are frantically registering new voters.(In fact my county Collin county is 50/50 Dems vs Repukes)

      The main problem is countering the Republican noise machine. Clear channel literally owns every single major radio station and most minor ones. Belo corporation owns another chunk of the media. Its a very hostile environment for anyone who is overtly against George "aWol" Bush. The propaganda is relentless, this is Bush country, the Republicans own Texas etc....

      Still I think there will be a surprise or two in store for the Repukes. I will be working as a election clerk using my bilingual skills. We have already seen a number of "dirty tricks" for our registration drives. I had my Kerry sign stolen less than a day after putting it out. I responded with two new signs. My point is there is alot of passion out here.

      •  Since I never have had a second's hope that we

        would Texas, I would consider it a moral victory if Kerry got more than Gore and Bush got less this year than in 2000.

        Keep up the good work!  I'll pray for a miracle.

•  I Guess This Means

  That Bush can't use having to drink the water as an excuse.

•  It would be nice if Kerry got this into the debate

  on Thursday, saying something along the lines of 'Bush's hometown doesn't even support him for President'.

  •  yes

    I think this is potentially powerful.  Of course, it can cut both ways if Kerry and Edwards don't get local endorsements.

•  Cross-Posted From Maryscott's Diary Entry

  Leaving aside the fact that it matches my own feelings, that's a superbly written piece.  It's a devastating indictment of the Bush administration.  And given how sensitive publications such as this have to be to local sentiments, it wouldn't surprise me if there's a good deal of anti-Bush feeling among the locals.  He's still a fairly recent arrival (showed up in 1998, IIRC), maybe they're as sick of him as that Alabama landlord whose apartment Bush trashed back in the early '70s.
