we already know what happens when you give bailouts to the executives running banks and corporations - they give themselves bonuses while laying off thousands. how dare gm urge me to buy american as they prepare to lock-in their bailout money by declaring bankruptcy while laying off yet another 10,000 workers!

we're facing a total systemic collapse, of both our government and our financial system.

we need to take a deep breath and figure out what we're going to do next.

during this break, we must make sure that our citizens have food, shelter, health care, internet access, the necessities of life. okay, maybe tv as well, but definitely no rush limbaugh. (kidding, kidding.)

this is really your moment, and your challenge, i suggest you put the citizens first. doing exactly what bush did* will ruin us all, corporations and citizens alike.

please have a look at dan newman's plan in the washington post. (i'd quadruple his $2,000 debit card idea and plan for more)

you can save the corporations. or you can save the people. please choose wisely.

our vets have suffered horribly for the last 8 years under the care of the chickenhawks.

now we can fix this.

please start to make this right. fix their pay, their healthcare now so that we don't face a further wave of suicides and repeat the errors of vietnam.

fix the body armor, correct the supply of food and water to our current servicepeople, begin to return them to 12 months on/12 months off.

please. this shouldn't wait.

thank you.

a few days ago, i had an experience which convinced me, beyond a doubt, that telepathy is real.

shortly thereafter, i realized that i have a profound need for rush limbaugh to shut up.

so, here's my plan (more or less right out of the twilight zone):
every day he broadcasts, we'll pick a time (say 1pm eastern?), focus all of our disgust and hatred, and SHUT HIM THE FUCK UP.

please post any fine-tuning tips in the comments. and please forward this diary to your 'psychic' friends, can you think of a more worthwhile cause?

after rush, we'll take care of o'reilly, coulter, the rest of the hate mongers who have enabled bush/cheney's destruction of our beloved country.

and, although i am quite the furious boy, by 'silence' i mean 'silence', not 'kill'.

best thing if this works? red-staters don't believe in this crunchy granola/new age-y crap, they won't know what hit them.

could the nsa kill the internet?

one must assume that the nsa, with its physical presence at at&t/(other?) network operation centers, could easily kill us-based access to the internet in a number of ways.

in times of great potential civil strife, one wonders what they might be capable of.

without net access, we're dead. we organize almost exclusively through the net. many of us, if forced to choose, would forego that first cup of coffee, and instead load dkos/c&l/thinkprogress/froomkin.

they have secure private networks for their blackberries, and they don't care if the drudge report is offline.

we need to develop reliable, alternate methods of communication, perhaps as simple as phone trees, or networks of community public access tv stations, or maybe we better get some ham radio geeks to chime in.

we need overseas co-location of site content, and message boards.

if/when accused, they'll just pass it off as cyber-terrorism from abroad.

this juxtaposition is probably not worthy of a diary, but it struck me as an apt metaphor for our times.

"The Intrepid stands for everything we believe in ... our freedom and our values," Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said at the send-off ceremony before the tugs began their work."

vs.

"Intrepid Stuck, Move Scrubbed for Now
NEW YORK (AP) - The legendary World War II aircraft carrier USS Intrepid got stuck in deep Hudson River mud Monday as powerful tugboats fought to pull it free to tow the floating museum down river for a $60 million overhaul."

~~~

ps: what if, instead of manipulating the vote counts to 51/49 r/d, they claim that e-voting machine failure/hacking/meltdowns have invalidated the results in certain key races?

it would be easy enough to do (ex: where did these extra 42,000 votes for webb come from?), i don't know if there is any precedent, but at the very least it would buy rove some time, and allow them to get their next war started. this scheme might also alleviate (mildly) the legal challenges and protests.
