I grew up with two Republican parents, and lived and went to school in the suburbs of Los Angeles. There were no African Americans in the suburbs where I grew up. My father was a policeman in Los Angeles. I never heard any racial comments from him or my mother. Well, other than the story that my father told about arresting a black hooker who commented on my father’s balding by comparing the amount of "hair on her pussy" to the lack of hair on my father’s head. My mother and I thought that was hilarious.

Larry Hunter, a lifelong conservative who worked in the Reagan White House, was chief economist at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for five years, and helped write the Republican Contract for America, appeared on Countdown tonight,and talked about his support for Obama.

Larry Hunter had an op-ed in the New York Daily News today where he stated that he was voting for Obama because "Unjustified war and unconstitutional abridgment of individual rights vs. ill conceived tax and economic policies -- this is the difference between venial and mortal sins."

I have had pain in my left breast for the last several months. I do not have health insurance. I am feeling afraid. I work for an attorney. He has great health insurance for his numerous drunk driving fiascos,and that is totally irrelevant. I know that. I have no health insurance, and I am scared.

In response to a diary here on Sunday, I watched "Iraq For Sale," on the internet. After I had watched that, I watched "Fahrenheit 9/11" at the same website. I was blown away.

I have a repug friend who is 83 years old. She has always been a repug. She is an avid Faux news watcher. I brokered a deal with her: Faux news shall be my only cable network source of news for 30 days, with the only exception being that I can watch MSNBC from the time I get home from work (5:30 p.m.) until 6:00 p.m. Notice that I still get to access news on the online, as well as Daily Kos. In exchange, I shall bring the DVD of Fahrenheit 9/11 to her home on Sunday and we shall both watch it together.

"I have but one life to give to my country." Thirty days of Faux news – pray for me!

I shall be checking in here regularly for support

This is a terribly, terribly offensive expresson. I never want to hear this expression on Daily Kos again.

Don't you know how insulting this is to women? How vulgar it is? You shame me with your ignorance and vulgarity. Calling us "bitches?

You shame us, and you shame our party.

Maybe the "Bitch slapers" (obvously those who hate women) ought to just shut the fuck up Read More

Tonight as I was walking from my office to the bus stop (yes, I am trying to do what I can for the environment) I saw a long city block lined with black combat shoes.

On each pair of combat boots was a tag with the name of a man or woman from California who had died in Iraq. The tag contained their name, age, and the city where they lived.

My local newspaper, The Santa Rosa Press Democrat, front-paged DailyKos today in an article entitled "Let the Cyber Campaigning Begin."
"Lynn Woolsey blogged on Daily Kos, a political hot spot on the information superhighway.

"By posting her proposal to repeal President Bush's Iraq war powers on the popular progressive Web log at 6:58 a.m. on July 25, the North Bay congresswoman sent a message to the world - and scooped herself."

The article, which can be read in its entirety http://www1.pressdemocrat.com/... here, goes on to say this about DailyKos:

Well, I do. I came to DailyKos in September of 2004 as a result of an online class I was taking at my local JC called "Journalism in the Electronic Age." The class was directed to this site as an example of a "blog."

I had never even heard of a blog before. I wasn't even a Democratic at that time. I was just sort of ambivalent, aka, uninformed. I was raised as a repug. I became very disenchanted with the repugs as a result of the Clinton impeachment hearings, but I did not really think of myself as a Democrat. I didn't know anything about Democrats at that time, other than that they were "bleeding heart liberals." I think that it would be safe to say that I was fairly apolitical. Always voted repug without ever knowing why, other than that my parents had always voted repug.

I waited breathlessly today for Bob Dylan's new CD to come out. I thought that the fact that it was scheduled to come out today (the first anniversary of Katrina was relevant.) It was not. It was a great disapointment.
I long for the "fire in the belly" that Dylan used to have when he sang "Masters of War," "Blowing in the Wind," and "A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall." The "fire in the belly" was certainly not there in his new CD. Read More
