I was the first to comment on David Brooks most recent excuse for a column. The moderator chose not to allow my comment. I guess they needed room for some ignorant crap.

I have just spoken with the offices of both my Senators from the state of Colorado. I have shared with them my fears about Democratic voter uneasiness with the state of healthcare and Wall St regulation legislation in the Senate. I propose some solutions that, in my opinion, may help the situation and show leadership after the fold.

Some lies are so absurd, they make my blood boil. A good example of this would be "death panels will pull the plug on grandma." However, some lies are slightly less absurd, making them even more insidious. A prime example occurred in the current op ed from NYTimes columnist Douthat.
Perhaps I'm mistaken. If so, it is up to the NYTimes or my fellow Kossacks to correct me.

Once upon a time, in a land far far away, there existed a nation filled with citizens who thought it was right and just to sacrifice in the present to create a better future for, not only their children, but children the globe over. These people were led by a great king named Efadee-Ar.

What a long, strange trip this season has been. For me, it started in 2005. Having picked myself up after the devastating 2004 elections, I penned a letter to some freshman Senator from Illinois who moved me to tears during the 2004 convention. In this letter, I begged him to run for president, insisting that his inexperience in Washington was actually his greatest asset. Who could have foreseen what would follow?

So, I was reading the NYTimes and I found this stunning story that is sure to capture the attention of Americans of every political persuasion:

Shoddy electrical work by private contractors on United States military bases in Iraq is widespread and dangerous, causing more deaths and injuries from fires and shocks than the Pentagon has acknowledged, according to internal Army documents.

But I'm sure that KBR and the Bush regime will take care of this as soon as they are told about it.

The Army report said KBR, the Houston-based company that is responsible for providing basic services for American troops in Iraq, including housing, did its own study and found a “systemic problem” with electrical work.

But the Pentagon did little to address the issue until a Green Beret, Staff Sgt. Ryan D. Maseth, was electrocuted in January while showering.

It seems such a short time ago, the Colorado Democratic Convention. I'll never forget Mark Udall's excessive entrance. All the lights went out, the music started, Mark entered through the back, the spotlights and strobes went on followed by 10 minutes of high fives and handshakes by the candidate as his handlers moved him towards the stage. Everyone, including myself, was holding Udall for Senate signs high in the air and cheering. Udall took the stage and promised to fight for our Constitutional rights...

I recently participated in the Colorado State Convention. I also read MyDD.com on occasion, though I have no account and cannot comment. However, the animosity of this primary season has reminded me of a funny story involving my 4 year old son. My 6 year old daughter participated in this life lesson about Democratic politics, as well.

Seriously...
I've been an active member of the online progressive community for almost a decade. I began my internet activism with a little project called Moveon. Following my experiences there, I was an avid participant at Alternet, until the trolls moved in. At the time, Alternet had no rating system, and boy, those trolls were hungry. This led me to the discovery of an online community called DailyKos. The characteristic that drew me to Alternet was the rating system and the ability of the community to collectively starve the trolls, or, when trolls persisted, feed them... donuts! Then, in the year of 2007, primary season fit the shan...
Factions were formed, passions ran hot, the general and the doctor became the southern populist and the boy faced Constitutional scholar with the big ears, opinions were shared, talking points were stuck to, good Democrats were smeared and the community became acrimonious.
