Last night in this diary we started talking about DC area Kossacks getting together once again to spread some holiday cheer. Or was is some holiday Cheers & Jeers?

Well, anyway....

Meet Roger and Ellen:

They are my parents. And I am proud to say that they voted from Lamont yesterday. And I couldn't be prouder of them.

I'm confused... according to Joe and CW, they should be foaming at the mouth, madly typing on blogs and plotting the destruction of the Democratic party. But if you look at the picture - they are pretty "normal".

Go beyond the flip to learn more and to celebrate all the hard working people in CT who voted for Ned yesterday. Read More

Original Liveblogging diary. Props to KarenDC for starting it!

Here's part 2 - the questioning of the witnesses.

There are 3 bushbot partisan hacks who think that everything Bush did is legal.

There are 2 witnesses (Dean & Fein) who think Bush overstepped his bounds and should be censured.

You can stream it here.

Spector is trying to look tough with Dean and it is not really working. Ok, I'm trying to come up with 300 words now.

Liveblog away.

Carnacki's brilliant diary of this morning is generating buzz. And I pointed out to Carnacki in this thread that if Bush's approval ratings go any lower pictures will start "disappearing". Kind of like the pictures of Bush with Jack Abramoff.

Join me below on how you can help. Read More

We need to send a delegation of bloggers to DC. Not just Armando and Georgia10, but anyone of us who wants to go and can go. We need to sit with Reid and Dean and Pelosi and anyone else we could nail down.

We need to show the faces behind the faxes and the emails and the phone calls. Show that we are mothers, fathers, business owners, writers, tech people, people of all races, creeds, religions, you name it. It would be nice if we could get people from all 50 states. Read More

Well the polls in VA opened at 6 AM. I voted at 7:30 and was the ~ 240th person to vote. That's pretty good for an off year election. I heard from a neighbor that there was a line out the door at 6:30. Since I live in a fairly Dem neighborhood, I'm heartened by that.

What's going on in your precincts?

Please recommend this so that we can keep a pulse of what's going on during the day.

I'm heading back to my precinct at 4:30 to volunteer to handout sample Democratic ballots. The polls close at 7 PM. Read More

I got a mailing supposedly from the Democrats called "2005 Official Democrat and Progressive Voter Guide". Knowing that I'm voting for Kaine, I really didn't pay attention to it. But I did notice that it mentioned voting for Russ Potts for Governor. FOr those who aren't aware, Russ Potts is an old-school Republican running as an independent in this race and has more impact on Kilgore than Kaine.

The "Shelter from the Storm" benefit concert is on all major stations right now.

Currently Mary J Blige and U2 are performing "One". Randy Newman opened the show and Elen Degeneres talked about her grandmother from New Orleans and how she can't find her friends.

Use this as an open thread to discuss.

I'll apologize for the short diary, but the below pretty much says all that needs to be said. This is from an email sent to my company.

For those of you who wish to give supplies instead of cash for the victims of Hurricane Katrina - we have confirmed with the First District police that 400 families will be coming to DC on Monday to stay in the Armory. They stressed that their biggest needs at this time are:

Bottled water and anything that would constitute a "care package" such as:

Toothbrushes
Toothpaste
Blankets
Undergarments
Soap

These items can be brought to the First District office located at 415 4th St SW.
Update [2005-9-2 15:23:57 by mlk]:Modthinglet called and the office is taking donations 24/7. ==

Please help if you can.

Update [2005-9-2 15:16:52 by mlk]:Please forward this information on to as many DC area people as possible so that we can get as many supplies as humanly possible.

Just now, the Today show has a Army recruiter and a new recruit on talking about recruiting. And how being in the army is a wonderful opportunity (assuming you don't get killed in Iraq).

ARRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!! WTF???? Yes, I know that this is the RWCM and they need to suck at the tit of the Bush administration, but to basically become a recruiting tool for the military?????

Maybe I haven't had enough coffee this morning, but this just pisses me off.

Did you sign the petiton for giving uninsured kids healthcare? Well then, expect a solicitation call from "Friends of Kerry".

I just got a call from them asking me to give Kerry money. I think it is a total scam.

Update [2005-4-14 12:17:14 by mlk]:I just got off the phone with Senator Kerry's office and they have received several phone calls about this and assured me that this *DID NOT* come from the real "Friends of Kerry". The person answering the phone took my information and let me know that they are looking into this and will call me once they find out more information. If you get a call from these people DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION. They are phishing for account information. More on the flip... Read More

Dozing through the Today show this morning, I vaguely heard the intro about a guy posing as a journalist in the White House and the intro to the Guckert interview. Woke me right up, I tell ya.

Then comes the interview with Guckert and Campbell Brown. It doesn't shock me she's doing the interview since she's dating some Republican operative and is therefore a friendly interviewer to Guckert. Guckert refused to talk about his escort past and basically said that the qualifications for getting a day pass were pretty limited. Campbell Brown mentions that only a criminal background check is done for day passes. It really wasn't an enlightening interview, nothing new to be heard. Some of the typical "liberal bloggers are trying to ruin my life" type crap... Read More
