I was on vacation last week, out of reach of the intertubes, but I found this story on some feminist websites and was on CNN on August 5th. I didn't see it on DK via search, but forgive me if it is a repeat.

George Sodini, who shot and killed three women in a Pennsylvania gym, had long planned his rampage. He hated women, blamed them for his problems, and went on a kill-spree for vengeance against imagined wrongs. One wrong he imagined was that a 'desirable' women wouldn't go out with him. (Maybe they sensed he was a 'kill-spree' type, hmmm?)

Sorry if this has been diaried already.

I love Countdown - it's the only liberal show I know of on television, except for Rachel Maddow's new debut show. Apparently there is some pushback from the powers that be, hating the fact that a liberal voice is being heard, not to mention that it's MSNBC's top rating.

The New York TImes has a vomit-provoking article about how MSNBC has pulled back on using Matthews and Olberman to host political events:

"MSNBC tried a bold experiment this year by putting two politically incendiary hosts, Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews, in the anchor chair to lead the cable news channel’s coverage of the election.

That experiment appears to be over."

Okay, okay, I love the kos-race just as much as anyone. I've been reading blogs all day and discussing politics all day with my thankfully politics-obsessed BF. We've have tons of fun. We have fun here, especially reading about why Ron Paul is a kooklamatz and when people artfully skewer the traditional media and other beltway hacks.

But as we get closer to the Iowa caucuses, you guys seem (-sweeping generalization alert-) just go completely apesh*t and take it to an alternate universe of paranoia.

What's the fun in that?

My computer homepage when I log on, is Dkos. I was at the first Yearly Kos. Check out my user ID, please. I rubbed shoulders with Markos in Vegas. I came here in 03, a definite Deaniac.

But, seriously, nearly every rec'ed diary a candiate diary? Is this I have fallen through the looking glass and ended up on an internet version of Hardball.

Please, stop it.

I worked on a congressional campaign today - why do that on this beautiful August day? I am pumped because of Lamont's win of course, feeling more positive and optimistic than I have in a long time.

Stephen Harrison is a former Community board leader, an activist, and a lawyer. He is running against Vito Fosella, a rotten republican in the NY-13 - a New York City district that shouldn't have Republican representative since in is majority Democratic registration

I am going to Yearly Kos - finally got the time off and the $ to book my flight and hotel this week. (I will have to wait a while to register when I get some more $$!)

But I am kind of standoffish in a crowd. I am concerned about going to Las Vegas and sitting in the seminars quietly and never speaking up or connecting with anyone.

And I think that I will not have as much fun in Las Vegas (outside the convention) if I am by myself. Read More

No chunkalicious lovely has soloed yet, that much is true. I, for one, have been calling Senators a lot, including Reid, Chaffee, Snowe and Collins.

I also wrote letters to every Dem member of the judiciary committee.

The theme I used in every contact is: Filibuster and my basic message is "Alito doesn't deserve to be on the supreme court of a country that loves liberty."

I am sure many of you have done the same and more. Read More

While I was lugging my shopping cart through the streets of Bay Ridge Brooklyn today I came across a few people tabling for a petition against healthcare cuts. The petiton was directed to my cheesy Congressional Rep. Vito "Cheney's Pal" Fosella.

I know, how can a borough like Brooklyn have such skeez as it's rep? Because my district. NY-13, is mostly Staten Island with a little sliver of southern Brooklyn. Staten Island is filled SUV-driving, spiky-gel-haired homeowners.

In any event, I dutifully signed the petition and got to talking with a tabler and found that we both worked on Barbaro's campaign against Fosella in '04. Currently, no one is running against Fosella - Barbaro is in his 70s and enjoying retirement.

If I didn't have to work, for Pete's sake, I would. Can't the dems come up with someone? For right now, it is not to be. Read More

I have started a personal campaign to write all dem members of the house regarding Bush, Article 4, illegal wiretaps and the threat to the constitution it poses. I usually enclose a constition on a square of toilet paper - the metaphor is that W is making the constitution worthless and disposable.

I was only 30 letters sent, with 10 more in the oven, when the Alito hearings came to the fore and took precendence over this action.

I wrote 8 cards yesterday to the democratics senators on the judiciary committe. I have also (so far) called Lindsey Graham's office (barfarino), left a message for Harry Reid and spoke to a clerk in Biden's office. Read More

I bought 30 new stamps today - and I wrote 15 of the 200+ handwritten letters I will be sending to each democratic member of the house.

I am writing about the outrageous criminal behavior committed by the president in violation of the fourth amendment. Below in a partial excerpt of my previous diary on the topic. I would love to have company in this project. Useless action? Maybe, but at least I can pretend a representative democracy exists for a litle while. Read More

caveat - this isn't Boston related, but I thought it sounded cool

I have long admired the skillful organizers and "party people" here at DK. I've written my share of emails and have called my senators Schumer and Clinton more that once (and I;ve called others too, Durbin, Leahy, etc) I've called Democratic reps in congress too. Working for the Dean campaign I have also written a lot of letters. I don't know their effect, but with the illegal action of the President I feel I must do something.

This time I am going to be sending something to every single Democratic member of the House - damn the expense. That's right, ALL of them.

First, I am sending a handwritten notice containing two citations:
