I've been here.... fuck, way too long. Put it this way when I first to Dailykos to tell everyone they were assholes I was campaiging for Wesley "No TV show is beneath my dignity" Clark. This is my fifth federal election reading this site. I have a four digit User ID, thats how much I need a new hobby.

So PLEASE so for the love of fucking god PLLEEEEAAAAASSSSEEE, do me one favor. ENOUGH with the godfrosaken "I VOTED!!!!!" diaries.

This is Dailykos, it is a politics nerd site. The vast majority of the American dkos users who are of age vote in the presidential election. If you don't plan on voting you're not reading this. You're off looking at porn or staring at some $1250 dress on pinterest, or actually playing with your kids instead of staring at a computer screen all night. The fact you're reading this mean you are a very very very likely voter. It's assumed. There is no reason to spam the site all friggin day with a constant list of identical diaries that say the same friggin thing over and over and over again. There will be open threads all day long. PLEASE use one of them instead.

Thank you,

Windowdog

P.S. Get off my lawn!

So I'm sitting here. Well actually laying here in a semi-recline position if you want to get all technical about it. And I just made a decision that I think is probably overdue. I'm letting this account go idle. Now I haven't posted frequently in a good while, partially b/c of a few life changes. But looking around and seeing where my life is, I just can't square that with spouting off on here anymore.

Disinformation at Dkos: Gov. Gregoire and the Air Force Boeing Deal

At this moment there is a diary at the top of the rec list by the usually commendable Governor Gregoire of Washington State. In between her mom and apple pie routine she blames Bush and Senator McCain for supporting the US Air Force decision to buy a European refueling tanker instead of the plane Boeing offer. Implicit in all of this is that somehow the American worker got screwed by the Federal government.

This my friends is a golden example of baiting and misinformation. The Governor is about to lose a large amount of jobs from her state, and she's trying just about anything to keep it from happening. That's fine, it's her job to do so. But coming here and laying out a massively distorted picture of what is going on is a disservice to this site, and is utterly contemptible in my view.

Boeing lost the deal, and for damned good reason.

Friends, bloggers, freedom fighters all; I stand before you today to speak a hard truth that we've all kept silent about for far too long. Open Left has really gone down hill since it opened.

It used to be just about the best blog ever. When I joined Open Left it was absolute blogger utopia. The color scheme was so innovative, even I didn't get what the hell they were going for, so you know it was cutting edge. There were posts and other members, and above all COMMUNITY. When I joined at 12:37 EST it was a small core of dedicated members who really knew what they were talking about. Their posts were witty, and insightful, and you really felt you could trust one another.

Follow the sad fall after the fold...

Last week the Washington Post ran an editorial by former Secretaries of Defense Harold Brown and James Schlesinger. In it they fired the opening shot of a DoD PR offensive pushing for a dangerous new weapon system which is not only unneccesary but also completely irresponsible.

The weapon system in question is a new non-nuclear version of the Navy's Trident II submarine launched Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM). When it first appeared it struck me as such an absurd concept that I figured it was a one off think tank idiocy that somehow made it into the op ed pages.

Sadly a story in Monday's NYTimes proved me wrong.

Former DP World exec withdraws MARAD commissioner nomination.

I didn't see a diary on this so I just wanted to point out that the Bush Administration has withdrawn the nomination of former DP World exec David Sanborn to be Commissioner of the US Maritime Administration. You may recall that this was one of the thousand hot button issues that surrounded the Dubai Ports debaucle.

Like the DPW mess there really wasn't anything wrong with the nomination fact wise. There isn't any evidence this guy is any worse than whoever Bush is going to nominate as his replacement. But it is clear the GOP wants the issue to go away ASAP so they buried the withdrawl late last night. Not shedding any tears, I just wish the country would react with such vigor over actual attrocitites like torture in Iraq or the appalling underfunding of Port security in the last five years.

So that's it on the facts. Not a red hot item, but I figured someone should make note of it here.

The 1918/avian Flu comparison is bunk. Stop the fear mongering.

Every few weeks Dailykos, the site I love dearly, picks a topic of the day and proceeds to lose its collective mind over it. Today apparently we're back to Avian flu. It drives me nuts to read crap like "Critics may say the avian flu probably won't be a pandemic but EVERYONE agrees one will happen some day!" Its also commonly accepted that the sun is going to blow up one day, and before then we'll probably get hit by a space rock so big that not even Bruce Willis can save us. Rational people don't go running around building anti-ateroid bunkers.

My wife has her PhD in bio so maybe I'll coax her into giving the probabilities talk on this being the BIG one rather than it being the next toxic mold, SARS, Pig Flu, shark attack story the media picks scare us into watching the evening news. But my main bitch is people constantly bringing up the 1918 flu as if that has ANY bearing on the world today.

This is just shocking idiocy. I checked and I didn't see it in diaries so I figured I'd add it. The EPA is getting ready to run an ad campaign promoting energy efficiency at home. But their method of doing so is to mock efforts to get more mileage out of your car. They make home conservation seem much more reasonable and effective than trying to burn less gas with your car. Further they apparently see nothing wrong with the ads.

Thats the current state of the EPA. Save the enviornment, but not by doing anything crazy like not buying a massive gas guzzler from detroit. It makes a mockery of the entire agency.

The FAS Secrecy Project was kind enough to send out this Congressional Research Service report on Presidential Advisors who have testified before Congress. It was completed a year or two ago. Should be a nice source for anyone wanting the hard facts and that particular talking point. Here is the paper in it's entirety. http://www.fas.org/irp/crs/RL31351.pdf
