OMG! It seems I've sprung a Mojo Leak! Not even a month or two ago I was full-up, and even a "Trusted User." But today my Mojo Meter is only at Two Bars. No wonder when I say "can you hear me now?" everyone is saying 'what?'

Could it be that I got into DailyKos too early? Maybe I didn't ride the wave to the top so I could keep that coveted T.U. status.

I've been good. Seriously, I've kept out of the meta-shit-storms for the most part here. I've commented on many many things and certainly favorited and shared-widely some of the excellent diaries here (especially about Wisconsin and of course RaptureGate). Still I don't rate.

All the violent innuendo and wink-and-nod references to 'watering the tree of Liberty with blood' are not quite so imagined after all. How many times just this year have we lost people to Right-wing violent wack-jobs, usually drooling fans of the likes of Beck, Hannity, Savage, and Limbaugh.

Today amidst all the well-deserved hoopla regarding the Executive Order to close Gitmo, Senior Level pay freeze, and lobbying reform, there was a piece which I feel has been largely overlooked:

I will also hold myself as President to a new standard of openness. Going forward, anytime the American people want to know something that I or a former President wants to withhold, we will have to consult with the Attorney General and the White House Counsel, whose business it is to ensure compliance with the rule of law. Information will not be withheld just because I say so. It will be withheld because a separate authority believes my request is well grounded in the Constitution.

Let me say it as simply as I can: Transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency.

OK, over to the flip side . . .

I'm watching the imperial presidency hearing on c-span.org and even though my place of work has a T-3 network connection, and even though I normally watch C-Span from here and have no issues whatsoever; the video/audio has never been worse. The video stops, audio ends, and when the video does work, it's really low quality.

I've tried switching players and it only gets worse.

Back in the very early 90's, a girlfriend and I were sitting in a park in beautiful Bamberg, Germany (where I was then-stationed across the street from Kos's MLRS unit; I was with the 1st Armored Division, "OLD IRONSIDES").

Several beers into the hot afternoon we were having a great debate on war and gender. I insisted that equity would also come in the form of equal risk in being drafted or having to do civil service. Males in Germany had and still have a compulsory service requirement. She smacked me down with the best come-back ever: "why should women be drafted to fight in a war started by men?!"

Well folks, the times are changing!

Having served in the Army (1988-1991) I can appreciate this as good news:

Well, today, September 21st, is the 'drop-dead' date for this 'bet.

This morning I was looking at my hemorrhaging retirement portfolio. So far, I've lost all gains made since January 1st, plus a smidgen more.

All-in-all, I'm not yet worried enough to move my funds to a more secure place, but it got me thinking about the recent push for privatized social security.

I'm part of a local group of ham radio operators that has a typical club email list. Recently, the president of that group, an elderly gentleman, posted a rather partisan anecdote, which I'm sure you've seen before, to the entire list. This wouldn't normally get to me, but our club is a-political in nature and it's deemed bad form to delve into divisive issues such as politics (and at the same time, we all aren't so insulated from reality that we can't let a little politics slip into the discussion now and then).

He's been moving more and more into problematic territory and this is only the latest of his forays into shoving his views down everyone else's throats. AT the moment, I am new enough to the club, as well as young enough, to get away with throwing a well-thought piece back at him. The other liberals in the group are a bit afraid to speak up. I will not remain silent. :)

I just watched Keith Olbermann's scathing Special Comment and I couldn't be more ecstatic.

However, I start thinking about how every time in the past few years when someone right HERE on DailyKos has tried to emit a 'crazed' (but reasonable) comment, they are shot down.

No, I don't really think it's some GOP Staffer sitting in a Senator's office trolling to bring down the Kos community. It's being done by otherwise well-intentioned people who probably agree with 90% of the issues you hold near and dear. Read More

I am sitting here somewhere in Berkeley, channeling someone who wants to take control of my keyboard. So here he goes:

OK, first 6:06am this morning, on The Sixth Day of the Sixth Month of the year two-thousand and SIX, and I figured "well maybe if He calls His children home at 6:06pm, they'll be more than happy to snuggle up with their personal savior and a cup of 'blood' after a long day's work.

Listening to Mike Malloy last night on Air America Radio, I heard an interesting point a caller made which I think deserves to be reiterated:

We hear all kinds of polls showing sinking approval numbers for Bush and the government in general.

How exactly does this non-approval translate to votes for Democrats?

Sure, Bush is doing himself in beautifully. Even if we could somehow raise JFK or FDR from the grave, we wouldn't be as successful at illuminating this administration's ineptness and criminality as BushCo has been. Read More
