Newsweek Poll hits lowest ever in its' Presidential Approval Rating. Lots of polls are telling us what we already know; that this is a very unpopular presidency.

Republicans are bolting, and democrats are bickering. Non-binding resolutions amounting to a hill o' beans are being considered and stonewalled with competing resolutions.

And yet...

I don't care what kind of war it is. War of Terror, War against terror. Civil war, War of Aggression. Clash of Civilizations, Religious War. War on Christmas, War on Marriage, War on Drugs, War on Homelessness, War on Poverty. War, war, war. By any other name, a War is a War.

All this B.S. about marriage. The institution of, the protection of, the war against.

Please, for the love of Pete. I have the solution. It's a clunker, but It's a no-brainer, people. It is, to be Frank, driving me up a wall that I have yet to see an elected official on the proper side of the fence (the heart is a bit to the left after all) even come close to proposing it.

My head hurts. My mind hurts. My heart hurts. At least I can thank you for not actually kicking my ass. At least my body is still intact. Nonetheless, I feel like a political football. And I am sure I am not the only one. But why do you people feel the need to kick me and mine around every once in a while?

Okay, I am not addressing all y'all kossacks. I'm addressing a blind, ignorant target, which to this day I am unable to name. This is my sounding board.

I am a gay man and I would like to ask America to stop kicking me. Read More

Today is the day that we begin the march for accountability. In cities across the nation, students will leave their classrooms and workers will leave their jobs to demand that this criminal adminstration cease and desist.

Here in New York, it starts in historic Union Square at 12:00 noon.

Elsewhere: info at worldcantwait.org

We cannot wait until 2008.

Enough damage has been done.

No more.

Join us, please.

I have been telling friends for some time that I believe this administration must be forced to resign. In toto. For all of the various reasons.

I have thought that the only way for this to happen is a massive sit-down in DC. I'm talking five million, a very hard number to move. Park our asses on the mall and leave only when they do.

But here's my problem: I'm a check to check New Yorker. It's going to take more time than I am willing to spend. Unless, that is, I am convinced that the other 4,999,999 have the staying power.

I'm convinced this is a great start: The World Can't Wait!<---CLICK!

Just a random thought regarding our tax dollars at work and how things are allocated. Just thinking about Senator Ted Stevens from Alaska and that 200 million dollar bridge in Ketchikan that nobody really needs or wants. Just thinking that as a gesture of good will, or perhaps a patriotic act, he might consider giving that money back to the people of this country that really need it at this moment in time. Just thinking that if you, like me, think this might not be a bad idea, you could contact Senator Stevens yourself. He can be reached at (202) 224-3004. He can also be emailed at stevens.senate.gov.

Anybody else have any suggestions of pork reappropriations, why not throw them on the list?

Nothing but a dumb poll below the fold.

Ladies and Gentlemen, let the countdown begin.

The following is a single link, but I think in this regard I can be forgiven for bringing this to the front page. Apologies all round if this is already on the site, but I just finished with a very long work week.

This is it -- they've pulled the trigger..." Read More

First poster/diarist here, so forgive any protocol violations, please. I just needed to run this past someone other than my eternally forgiving partner.

The night the budget passed, I sent the following to the DNC:

I am a New Yorker who has been a registered democrat since before I left the home of the DFL in Minnesota. What I see happening to my party is outrageous! Voting for legislation patently counter to the goals of the party and its' people is unforgivable. Bankrupcy, privacy, security, labor, war, the environment and more. To my mind, it is crystal clear that to a republican, bi-partisanship truly is another word for date-rape. Thing is, we're the victims. Read More
