Just wanted to drop a quick note that cowboys in the old West were real. Here is a photo of Great Grand Dad. Six shooter and lasso and partner. Circa 1890 near the Arizona/New Mexico territories border.

Most are familiar with Bernie’s opposition to Ted Kennedy’s immigration bill. But Bernie also voted in favor of an amendment in support of the anti-Latino, anti-immigrant, racist Minutemen.

A small act years ago reveals much about Hillary. While she was First Lady, a small act of kindness and political will may have gone unnoticed. But it helped the powerless and voiceless. There was no political upside for Hillary, no currying favor with Wall Street. Just a courageous and effective use of power on behalf of the downtrodden.

It has been ages since I last wrote a diary. But what Hugh Hewitt has posted on his blog is extraordinary and sick. Hewitt is a Right Wing talk show host that the GOP considers a high brow commentator. Chuck Todd goes on his radio show every Friday, and Todd had Hewitt on the Meet the Press for the express purpose of boosting ratings among conservatives this last Sunday.

Well, Hewitt has posted an article on his blog: that states in part: Obama’s aversion to the use of the military is an infringement on religious expression as well.

More after the orange divider.

Ajax left us today, Mother’s Day 2008. He was ten. A large, rust colored Golden Retriever and our very good friend. His surgery on Friday to remove a tumor did not succeed.

I have seen other diaries like this, and this one is long...But I do this for Ajax, my wife, myself, and our family. This is a small event but it is hard for us and I wanted to share the wonder, intelligence and love we experienced with Ajax.

Zogby has just released his poll from today and yesterday. Obama won Saturday 46-44. But he lost yesterday and only had 40%.

Zobgy sez Clinton 46-43 over Obama. Here is the poll.

But Zogby is not reliable. SurveyUSA has been very good. The PPP and the Q polls have been reasonably good too.

A new SurveyUSA poll shows Obama up by 10 over Hillary: 52-42. He leads among Latinos (53-45) and Asians (45-30) and Whites (52-42)....This especially good news on the Latino vote which Hillary had locked up in prior primaries.

Here are the poll results....

Hillary is poisoning the well by saying Obama cannot be CINC, making a successful campaign against McCain impossible. She is also suggesting Obama could be her VP--in an effort to get people to vote for her--it's the ol' two for the price of one theory.

How should Obama respond? By saying he will never, ever be her VP. That's playing hardball.

Hillary Clinton has said she would only release her tax returns if she were to win the nomination. But of course then it would be too late for Democrats to evaluate her finances as part of the nomination process.

Obama of course has released his tax returns:

Mr. Obama, speaking to reporters, zeroed in on Mrs. Clinton’s loan and said that her decision not to disclose her income tax returns raised questions about the loan.

"I’ll just say that I’ve released my tax returns," he said, responding to a question about tax returns. "That’s been a policy I’ve maintained consistently. I think the American people deserve to know where you get your income from."

McCain's tour of a Baghdad market has highlighted the attempts by conservatives to manipulate public opinion on whether the surge is working. McCain's pretense was exposed. But the larger question remains of whether the surge is working--and whether there is a way to gauge what is happening without resorting to anecdotal evidence, hunches and opinion. Looking at the numbers of deaths, as gruesome as it may be, is one objective measure.

One current talking point gaining favor was that Fitz knew when he started his investigtation that Armitage--not Libby--was the source for the Novak column. Thus, the reasoning goes, Fitz should have never proceeded with the investigation. Not true.

Where did Armitage get the information he leaked to Novak about Plame? None other than our hero Scooter. So, contrary to what Brit Hume says, Libby--at Cheney's direction--was responsible for outing Plame.

Cheney hit the airwaves once again this weekend, doing his best to scare people into supporting the Bush administration. If we withdraw, all hell will break lose, he says.

Not so fast. If we withdraw, the Saudis have reportedly threatened to intervene on behalf of the Sunni minority in Iraq. We should take up the Saudis on their "threat."
