If I understood Sen. Clinton correctly in Austin, borrowing words from other people is a bad thing. Really bad. Extremely naughty even. And she is outraged when people do that really bad thing.

So does that go for logos too?

I made a curious discovery Saturday morning while waiting in the registration line for my Senate District convention here in San Antonio...a woman wearing a white chef's jacket joined the line right behind me.  My immediate impression was that she was a Clinton supporter....but it turned out she was very enthusiastically supporting Obama, and proudly wore her Obama sticker when the Obama volunteers came by offering them to the waiting delegates...What was it about her that gave me the initial impression she was a Clinton supporter?  Looking at her again wearing her Obama sticker above the logo on her jacket, it struck me...that logo sewn on her uniform - I'd seen that red, white and blue banner before - long, narrow, three white stars on a blue field, red and white streamers following...could it be...the Hillary Clinton logo?

What the heck is up with this?  I saw this on Texas Kaos , which had linked to a diary by Cleanair over at Burnt Orange Report.

In a nutshell, the paper wants an extra payment of $16,000 from the County to print the precinct locations for the primary.

I can't imagine a newspaper demanding payment to print important voter information.  I think the paper needs to hear from citizens everywhere that are outraged about a decision like this.

The Serbs are NOT HAPPY with the US support of Kosovo in the wake of the announcement that Kosovo would like independence.  A large peaceful rally in Belgrad has turned ugly as angry Serbs began attacking the US embassy building.  The US flag was burned off its flagpole and reports are coming in as the events unfold.  This is just a hit and run diary - I am leaving for Austin (I got a ticket for tonight's debate) and I need to go - but I wanted to give the dkos community a heads up to go check out the events as they unfold.
UPDATE:  

CNN is covering events as they happen.
Turnover's diary has more info and links.  Check it out and rec it up!!  Thanks

Howdy Howdy fellow Kossaks! There is so much happening down here in the San Antonio area it is hard to keep up.

I am SO THRILLED that I was selected in a random drawing to get a seat at the debate in Austin on Thursday.  Will any other Kossaks be attending?  I would LOVE to meet up with any of our Austin kossacks for some pre-debate conversation even if you are on your way to a local debate watching party!!! Let me know in the comments or my blue armadillo email address - I will be checking in periodically today. I would love to meet some of our Austin Kossacks!!

And I just now received an email from the TDP (Texas Democratic Party):  they have been planning a Debate Watch Party at the Hyatt Regency Austin - and BOTH CANDIDATES have agreed to meet with Texas Democrats at the party!!!!!  Woo Hoo!  This was just announced!!!

TICKETS ARE STILL AVAILABLE FOR THIS!  More info over the fold

OMG:  An embarrassment of riches!!! Another email JUST ARRIVED in my inbox as I type...Thursday, Sen. KENNEDY will be in San Antonio too!  That info over the fold also...

Howdy y'all!

Busy times in San Antonio!  I promised I'd try to get a diary up to let you all get an idea of what's happening on the ground here. And a lot has been happening quickly!  Since the Potomac landslide made it evident that the Texas primary was going to be crucial, volunteers for Obama have been coming out in droves to help out.  The field staff (22 strong!!) that flew into town early this week have been stunned at the outpouring of support and enthusiasm here in Texas!  The tiny office that the local grassroots group AlamObama opened in November was filled to overflowing Wednesday evening when the annual monthly meeting was overrun by enthusiastic volunteers eager to help win Texas for Obama.  Over 300 people packed the place, and the sidewalks outside - to hear how they could play a part in this important primary (and caucus!).  People of every description, age and race listened attentively to the newly arrived field staff and "old hands" that just a year ago were huddled around a table at Borders, talking about setting up a grassroots campaign for Obama here in the Alamo City - from 8 hopeful and determined people, a huge San Antonio campaign has blossomed! Follow the armadillo over the fold for a quick rundown of what's happening here "deep in the heart of Texas"....

OK - So we're all starting to sag from the weight of the outrages coming at us in an unending avalanche of disaster from Washington.  Take a break, Kossaks, and spend a few minutes with a champion of sanity, a man many of us have come to admire, a man who has had the courage to speak truth to power.  

Another day, another outrage, it wears an intelligent person down - so what a wonderfully unexpected treat it was to find Keith Olbermann in my mailbox the other day.  One of the nice benefits of being married to a Cornellian is the opportunity to read the Cornell Alumni magazine, and this month the featured article is a delightful story about Cornell's greatest newsman, Keith Olbermann.  Happily, Cornell has the article in its entirety on the interwebs.  So, I though I'd share the link with you.  

I need to be brief, as I am in the middle of other work, but wanted to share this news with the dKos crowd -- Joe Sestak is scheduled to appear on CNN tomorrow morning and afternoon!  This should be great national coverage for a great candidate!  I just received an email from the campaign and thought that there may be some folks that would be interested in seeing one our netroots candidates get some press coverage. The campaign release sounded very upbeat, and they are giving "Crazy" Curt Weldon a strong challenge in PA-07, so it should be a couple of interesting segments.  I'll share the email with you below the fold:
