By now everyone has seen the Barack Obama slander emails. You know how they go. They usually start like this.

"If you do not ever forward anything else, please forward this to all your contacts... this is very scary to think of what lies ahead of us here in our own United States... better heed this and pray about it and share it."

My boss would kill me if he know what I were doing but I have a response that's getting sent to countless email contacts. I always wondered (and still do) how these things started. Now I want to see if I can blanket the Internets with something unusual - the truth. Follow me below the fold for more...

Two books I read recently that I recommend for all. They're about Louis Howe, FDR's friend and advisor, who I had never heard of until recently. Arguably, FDR would not have been FDR without Louis.

The first is "The Man Behind Roosevelt" by Lela Stiles. The other is "Roosevelt and Howe" by Hendrien Kaal and Alfred Rollins. I was only able to find used copies on Amazon (no link, sorry, this stuff is too complicated for me).

Louis Howe's dedication and commitment to his friend Franklin provides a good example for all of us in 2008.

Happy New Year to all!!!!!

Great book. Concise, thoughtful, well-researched and convincing. I'm convinced we're on the right track to rebuild our party.

I've never done this before but I find myself involved in politics. On Saturday I'm making phone calls for John Pavich (IL 11th) and on Sunday canvassing for Tammy Duckworth (IL 6th). Monday is more calling and Tuesday I leave work early for door knocking. As a result of my efforts (oh yeah, hundreds of other people too) we just may pick up two seats this November.

It's hard to make the time but I've found it's easy to get involved. Democratic candidates need the help and it feels good to be taking action for something I believe in. I'm frustrated that I can't do more.

I'm not entirely sure what point I want to make here other than to try and encourage others to do what I'm doing. Get involved in your district or the one next door or the one next to that. Every little bit helps in what I like to think of as the corollary to the 50 state strategy - the 435 district strategy.

See you in the trenches. Read More

In all honesty, the conservative argument about the Federal response to Hurricane Katrina is somewhat persuasive. Relative to the extent of the damage and compared to responses to other hurricanes, it does appear the Federal government has, in many respects, been kicking ass and taking names. Also, the more I learn about what happened it appears the local and state government response was pretty well hosed up! None of this matters however because the political fortunes of President Bush will never be the same. Read More

The tragic Schiavo case was turned into a grotesque circus by uninformed zealots and dimwitted Republicans. It was mass hysteria whipped up on behalf of women unquestionably in a persistent vegetative state.
