Today Kos said, “Again, the federal government will and should absolutely lend resources to the town's recovery.” This is nonsense given the desires of the people in the State of Texas. Texas has made its position entirely clear. Both Texas senators and 23 of the 36 Texas representatives think the government should not provide aid to the states for disaster relief. Representative Flores who was elected by 80 percent of the people in the district where the Texas disaster struck voted no to the federal government providing relief aid for hurricane Sandy. We should not force them to take aid from the federal government when they are against this act. I have not heard one Texas senator or representative say one word about their vote against Sandy relief being a mistake. It is unconscionable for us to give away money to people who will only spit in our faces because we give away money while thinking that is the right thing to do. It is not the right thing to give money to Texas. I have written my two Democratic senators and my Democratic representative and asked them to vote Nay on any relief bill for Texas. Hopefully, you will contact your senators and representative to express whether or not to give relief aid to Texas.

I consider myself very lucky to live where my senators and congressman are Democrats. All three are Super Delegates that endorsed Hillary Clinton early in the primary calendar. I understand these endorsements. In fact, I didn’t decide on who I would support until I was driving to the caucus. Today I faxed each a letter asking them to change their endorsement. Here is that letter.

With today's presidential signing of the Military Commissions Act of 2006, I say a big thank you to John McCain for voting to make it possible for a person in America to have the same life changing experience that he had in Hanoi. The Republican controlled congress should declare this as National Torture Day to commemorate the significance of this day.

It does not take a genius to know what the GOP thinks of our US troops. All you need to know can be learned from watching GOP Rep. Louie Gohmert smear Rep. John Murtha and claim that if Murtha was a soldier in WWII, we would have lost that war. It seems the GOP is perfectly ok when US soldiers are cannon fodder or sitting duck targets just as long as they stay quiet and follow orders. But let a decorated war hero with in the field service as a Marine express a view that disagrees with the GOP and you can expect to receive the GOP version of "Support Our Troops". The US soldier needs to know that when the GOP says "Support Our Troops", they actually mean go fuck yourself if you don't stay in line. Read More

OK, I confess. I am angry. I am actually more than angry, I am furious. I am furious that a US president would announce to the American public that he has ordered domestic spying without a warrant in violation of federal law. I am furious with a Republican controlled congress that receives this slap in their face and does nothing. I am furious with most of the Democrats in congress who remain quiet to this frontal assault on the Constitution and the laws of the United States. But worse yet, I am terrified that congressional Democrats are going to get caught in a nightmare scenario and make no gains in the House and the Senate during the 2006 election. Read More

Bill O'Reilly, John Gibson and the rest of the Fox News staff have been fighting hard to win the war on Christmas. Their efforts have not included a plan to win the war just a lot of insult screaming, finger pointing and accusing which gets everyone agitated and un-peaceful while producing no progress toward winning the war on Christmas. A plan is needed to win the war on Christmas. Read More

President Bush has only two possible options for the US involvement in Iraq. The first option is that he brings our troop home as soon as the violence stops in Iraq or drops to a sufficiently low level to not be a major problem. The second option is that he intends to stay in Iraq forever. These are very simple options. Which of these two options do you believe is the Bush plan for Iraq? Make your choice before reading on.
