In the latest hilarity falling out of the Moon Bouncer that is Redstate, we have a very concerned Action Alert about a talk given to some lawyers at Google.  The talk is about net neutrality, and part of the talk was a video that was, from what I can tell, censored.  

Now comes word that Larry Lessig and Google really could care less that so many of us revere Jesus. This time the Lord is not in a jar of urine, but singing "I will survive" in a diaper before being run over by a bus. If you are really curious, you can watch this work of blasphemy here.

Honestly, I don't have any idea what their goal is with this kind of action alert.  They seem to be asking us to take action to prevent us from getting open access to information. It's also clear from the whopping 20 comments that Fearless Leader's piece received that they also don't know what he wants them to do- or why.

I'll show you some more.

Pissants.  

That's what we used to call those little flying ant-like creatures. I guess it was in reference to their inability to defend themselves against our monstrous swats.  

Well, those pissants at Redstate are mustering up all 50 of themselves for some emailing to newspapers.  

They seem to think that Obama quoting John McCain accurately about being in Iraq for 100 years is somehow dishonest.  

Below the fold is the text of the alert.  I've kept the email addresses for their activism intact.  That way, when their emails are received by the media members, they'll seem like pissants in response to the emails from us.  

Hi.

I hear that we might possibly not know where Hillary was on November 25, 2007.  It is entirely possible that she was responsible for any one- or all- of these crimes.  

Well?  I'm thinking that she could have gone over to Arturo Montes Leon's house and created a domestic disturbance there.  Afterwards, she would have moved swiftly, with cat-like swiftness, to the 500 block of Stoney Court, where she would have viciously driven without a license- over to Barack Obama's white grandma's house.  OMG!

More?  Below the fold- 'kay?

Hi.

You may know me.  You may not know me.  Every once in a while, I will write a diary.  One thing I do not write about is primary season.  There isn't any  Democrat who I wouldn't vote for over a Republican nominee- let's just put it that way.  

The other day I went over to Redstate.org to see what was up with the high minded thinkers of the conservative movement.  They aren't just about talk over there.  No sir. They are about action.  They are visionaries who know how to mobilize their readers into a strong and powerful action that cannot be beaten back.  

I decided I wanted to see just what it was that made them such action figures.  What was it that made them so smart?  

The difference is that they have "Action Alerts!" What a novel concept!  I've hardly seen any outfits with those- other than Moveon, DFA, every single congressperson who gets my email address, Newsmax, the AFA...

I'm going to be very clear that I find it reprehensible that anyone in congress is doing anything with regards to condemning or speaking out against any particular private organization's right to speak its opinion.

I'm no constitutional scholar, but it seems to me that the wording of the First Amendment is very clear on the issue of the press- the government of the US should not be doing anything to limit the freedom of the press.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

It has become a hallmark of elected Republican officials to interfere in whatever way possible with the reporting that the press does.  

There is a website expressing support for Rush Limbaugh.  The website is apparently partially the work of a Virginia Congressman- Eric Cantor.

Find out about the site below the fold.

The people infesting the streets and convention spaces of poor, unsuspecting Chicago was enough to make one conservative blogger say this about the sergeant issue at Yearlykos:

This(sic)a perfect example of the left-wing liberal thoughts on the military.  Who needs an army anyway, because when these socialists get the power they desire, the world will all of a sudden fall in line and sing Kumbya (sic)together circling the globe in totally (sic) unity for the defense of the live earth. (huh?)

It's nobody famous, and I'm not linking.

The nightmarish, dystopian future he fears is indeed alarming.   The rich vocabulary, and the vibrant imagery describing a world where people love each other... it just chills me to the marrow of my undernourished, vegetarian bones.

How can we save ourselves from ourselves.  How can we stop this horrific train of vile love and respect?  

If you decide to take your pasty, pale, long haired, freakish selves below the jump, you will see a world where one can feel warm and protected.  You can feel comforted by the strong hands and muscular physique of a government that will completely obliterate any threat to America.

My previous diary on epilepsy began with this paragraph.  

I'm lucky,  I have epilepsy.  Really, it's only technically epilepsy.  Well, okay it's actually diagnosed epilepsy, but I say technical because others live with a much more life changing form of epilepsy, and I don't want to put my problems in the same ballpark as theirs.  Epilepsy itself has gotten a new name. It's still referred to as epilepsy, but now it's also getting fit into a category called "seizure disorders." "Seizure Disorder" is just a way of avoiding saying a word that might seem like a sensitive issue to some. Some people just call it "The E word."

I wrote that diary, because I want to be part of the demystifying of epilepsy. With the recent events in the life of Chief Justice Roberts, I thought it would be worthwhile to cover the topic of epilepsy again.  

Let's get in the well of knowledge.  

What's it all about?  I'll bet that there are more than a few posters on Kos who are well acquainted with epilepsy.  Find out more below.

More than 1,000 students, many of them from 40 Twin Cities area high schools, protested today against the war in Iraq and military recruiters on campus.

It's my opion that Intelligent Design is intended to be the call to arms issue for the 2008 presidential campaign.  It will be the gay marriage of the next presidential election.  And it's just wrong.

I won't go over the entire history of Intelligent Design, and creationism, but I will point to the article published in yesterday's NYT.  It was printed in today's Seattle Times.  It is all about an organization here in Seattle who is at the forefront of the ID propaganda push.  You may know them, they are The Discovery Institute.  

Here's the article-

Politicized Scholars Put Evolution on the Defensive

I will suggest you read the article, but I want to point out one item

Hardly anything below the fold.

The shenanigans don't stop.

Yet another über-conservative, gay-hating, homophobic legislation proposing, Boy Scout leading, Republican politician caught red-handed.

Choices cuts from this steer delivered below.  Or, if you're vegetarian, tubers, legumes and calcium rich leafy greens in the steamer underneath the fold.

Rich Lowry, the editor over at The National Review, has got a strange way of looking at things.  In his latest piece he takes on the terrible left wing power merchant, Joshua Micah Marshal.  He doggedly defends Delay's former profession.  

Apparently, Lowry is all about that working man.  

I wish I could post the whole thing, but I won't... some snippets below.

Recently, I've mostly seen a whole lot of "gotchas," and religious news and views.

When I say "gotchas," I'm referring to the unending list of stupid things that Delay, Coulter and so on say and do.  They are idiots.  Their idiocy needs to be highlighted.  

I'm also all for discussing religion.  Religion relates heavily to politics, so if we don't discuss it, we lose.  23% of this country is Catholic.  We've got something like 150 million people who identify themselves as Christian.  It would be foolish to not discuss religion.  

If you think there is a point to this, go below the virtual fold.

It would be better if it were fictional.

Pay for your ticket, get your hand stamped, or just wander into the free play in the park.  In any case, you'll have to purchase tickets at the box office below the jump.

It's time for the Democrats to be able to have something to point to and say, "We are right.  These things hold value for every American.  If you don't vote for us, you are wrong."

1.  We support average Americans at work, home, and in school.
   
2.  We support small and large business.
   
3.  We support well paying jobs in America.
   
4.  We support your independence to make your own decisions.
   
5.  We support a strong and respected America.
