This diary is a continuation of highacidity's Food Bomb I and refinish69's Food Bomb II successful North Carolina and Indiana efforts.

Debate rages on around this site anticipating West Virginia's electoral returns tonight, with profiles of this state presented and debated, the electoral makeup dissected and analyzed.

In the midst of these, please don't forget the hardworking, selfless WV Obama '08 volunteers and staffers who persist in laying the seeds of emphasizing our commonalities and change possible via the election of this truly special presidential candidate.  They're knocking on doors, they're calling homes.

Feed 'em!

The Obama campaign currently has 69 offices in North Carolina and Indiana staffed by high-quality, dedicated, selfless people who are contributing to this amazing effort to install a transparent, open executive who can help this country start to get back on track.

Let's show them that their efforts have not been unnoticed.

On Monday night, let's make sure each one of these offices receives a food delivery from a DailyKos reader.

This diary is a preliminary organizational tool which I hope will enable us to make this happen on Monday.  Or in short, we need volunteers!

Fun Wednesday morning game.  Try to guess which comments were made by commenters on this site, and which were made by denizens of freerepublic.com.  Winners get mojo and smily face emoticons.

* Dr. Ben Marble, the Mississippi physician who told Cheney "go fuck yourself, you asshole" to his face.

* Jabbar Gibson, the 18 year-old who hotwired a bus and drove a group of Katrina evacuees to safety only to face criminal charges for "extreme looting"

Three Katrina survivors who grabbed headlines during the crisis.  In honor of wmtriallawyer's call for us to commemorate the tragic and infuriating events of last year, I think it is apropos to present an update on these three survivors:

Below are a compilation of some of the latest Hurricane Katrina survivor stories that I have housed at dkosopedia.  As several diarists have emphasized, it is incredibly important for us to keep a record of accounts of survivors and the general condition of the impacted areas as the Bush administration and its cohorts begin the task of historical revisionism.  Please consider contributing survivor stories which you come across to the dkosopedia entry, Hurricane Katrina survivor stories, or for those doing research, remember that this resource is there.

Wal-Mart... last week called sheriff's deputies to apprehend a GAF manager on a bogus bad check rap while he was trying to buy this year's gift card supply.  "I keep going over and over the incident in my mind," said Reginald Pitts, the 34-year-old human resources manager for the roof material manufacturer's Tampa distribution center. "I cannot come up with any possible reason why I was treated like this except that I am black." [snip]

Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco said everyone still in the city, now huddled in the Superdome and other rescue centers, needs to leave. She said she wanted the Superdome evacuated within two days.

"We need to evacuate the people in the Superdome and other shelters and in the hospitals," she told NBC's "Today" show on Wednesday. "Those are our basic missions today."

Houston officials later said those evacuees would be sent via 475 buses to the city's Astrodome. The stadium's schedule was cleared through December to make it available.

As you probably already know, Clear Channel is sponsoring a counter-protest barbecue with free food and beer to taunt Cindy Sheehan and Camp Casey.

THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY OF ENORMOUS PROPORTIONS.

Rather than complying with the order, the Defense Department filed a new argument insisting that release of the photographs would "endanger the life or physical safety" of armed service personnel.  

On Thursday, 14 media and public interest groups filed an amicus brief, urging the court to demand the release of the new set of photos.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A federal appeals court put the Bush administration's military commissions for terrorist suspects back on track Friday, saying a detainee at the Guantanamo Bay prison who once was Osama bin-Laden's driver can stand trial.

A three-judge panel ruled 3-0 against Salim Ahmed Hamdan, whose case was halted by a federal judge on grounds that commission procedures were unlawful.

Why is this significant?  

Congressman Conyers has posted a diary urging Kossacks to sign a letter to President Bush which demands an explanation of the Downing Street Minutes and the very likely illegal nature of the Iraq War.

Arthur is advocating a media strike, hitting the media outlets where it hurts for their complete failure to serve as our fourth estate at this most crucial moment.

THESE EFFORTS NEED TO BE COMBINED AND AMPLIFIED.

Hillary Clinton is a manhater who seduced and then killed Vince Foster she says she wants to be President but she needs to get her ass back in the kitchen Barbara Boxer too she's uppity if she did maybe Bill wouldn't have cheated on her but he would have anyway because liberals are scum traitors who want to hand our country to the French and the Canadians speaking of Canadians they are traitors too don't forget the British who sent that Gallagher to infiltrate our Senate he's lying he knows he took millions of dollars from Saddam and stayed overnight at his palace he is part of the Muslim conspiracy to destroy Christianity wait a minute he's part of the zionist conspiracy don't you dare call me antisemitic everyone knows the jews oh I mean the liberals control everything.

The diary contains this statment from Trent Lott:

Bill Frist deserves credit?  For what?  Mere political posturing, or something more?

I think Lott was being truthful when he asserted that Frist deserved credit:

The Dems have garnered another such victory over public framing of the filibuster debate.  The GOP argued that the filibuster is illegal and have begun calling the nuclear option "the Constitutional option."  Democrats have argued that the filibuster is an integral component of a deliberative governmental system, and warned the public against contemplating such a radical change to Congress.  The Democratic frame worked:
