Help Turnout Wyoming Caucus Vote

Fri Mar 07, 2008 at 01:52:18 PM PDT

Many of us have vacationed in Wyoming, I've gone to Yellowstone the last two of three years.  A simple action you can do today is just to e-mail the caucus location link along with your own personal appeal.  

My appeal included some comments on why I support Obama over Clinton, my concerns about the cost of the Iraq war, and some comments about the caucus I attended in North Bend Wa where the our local predinct supported Obama over Clinton 29 to 2.  

I don't know anyone in Wyoming, so I e-mailed my appeal to the RV park where I stayed in Coulter Bay.

This isn't a big contribution, but there are many Kossaks, so lets help get out the Obama vote, and more importantly, show the people of Wyoming that we care!!

Hillary Should Look to the Skies Tonight for an Omen

Wed Feb 20, 2008 at 09:25:10 AM PDT

In ancient times, leaders would often look to the skies for omens or signs from the Gods.  Considering that her campaign is in dire straights, maybe its time for Hillary to consult the cosmos.  

Did Bush Admin Kill Bear Stearns CDO Probe?

There was an interesting article in yesterdays Wall Street Journal entitled
"Did Authorities Miss a Chance to Ease Crunch?".  
Here's an excerpt:

Do the Dots Connect Dave Reichert to the DOJ Case?

Wed May 02, 2007 at 06:13:00 PM PDT

After Congressman Dave Reichert (R-Wa 8thCD) recommended that Republican Rick White replace fired US Attorney John McKay, it soon became apparent that there was a problem.  Rick White couldn't even practise law in the State of Washington.  

Conventional thinking was that the happless but partisan Dave Reichert had made another dumb mistake.

But was it really that simple?

Poll

Is it just a coincidence that Dave Reichert Recommended a Replacment DOJ Attorney, whose CEO position had just been Backfilled by an assistant to Karl Rove's Staff?

Congressman Issa's (R-CA) Presentation of Falsified Data to Press

Fri Apr 13, 2007 at 01:54:36 PM PDT

In today's House Judiciary Data Dump, I came across this communication from the now fired California US attorney Carol Lam, where she complains to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales about Republican Congressman Darryl Issa's (R CA-49) appearances on national TV.  

According to Lam (paraphrased), Republican Congressman Issa presented a modified, falsified, incorrect, non-factual, out of date, unapproved report, which was presented out of context, as an Officially released document, to back up Congressman Issa's position on the current official status of US Border issues.

As a minimum, it looks like this issue should be referred to the House Ethics committee, as a US Congressman knowingly presenting falsified government data to the press would appear to be an ethical lapse, if  not illegal.

Go here http://coolaqua.blogs.com/... to see PDF of the communication.

Is Seattle's KIRO TV (Ch 7) out to get Darcy Burner?

Thu Oct 26, 2006 at 03:39:02 PM PDT

Seattle's KIRO TV (Channel 7) has just put up a very misrepresentative story (ie they lied) on the Democratic Rally in Bellevue - 8th CD - Darcy Burner ; their report says that there were only 500+ attendees.  The actual attendance was closer to 3000, several of us (include KIRO, CNN, FOX) have videos and stills to prove it.  

What gives with KIRO?  Why are they lying to the public?  Shame on KIRO.
