Not joking, he just said that on C-Span.

The context, you ask? The parroted assertion of Iraq being the central front of the war on terror...as function of this importance, "Iraq is somewhat akin to Normandy..." Read More

In the interest of not offending anyone, I redacted the operative word in the title...which is going to prove incredibly ironic given the below, which most certainly should offend any human being with the remnants of a soul.

That word, however, is penis.

From the diaries of one Benyam Mohammed, as reported by The Guardian. Not for the faint of heart: Read More

This one is going to be a quickie, but I wanted to point something out to those who have not gotten a chance to cruise over to DemBloggers (thanks again for such a wonderful service!)

Two pieces today to reference...the fusion of which really struck me:

The Clark-O'Reilly clip, cited in a currently recommended diary (and rightly so).
The CNN clip relating to the renewed call to take the administration to task for the faulty war rationale, and related comments from a Bush staffer.

As referenced today by my senior senator, I'd love to engender a conversation on today's very strategic maneuver...to be proactive with the prospective judiciary appointment, vs. reactive.

What are your thoughts as you listened to some of these speeches? That we are learning? That we have found, as some perhaps less PC than I, have stated, "our sac"? That it is a bit out-of-place to be having these conversations with no resignation formally announced?

I am beginning to see the sketchings of a powerful cradle-to-grave type of argument that we can make in opposition to the Neo-Conservative agenda. Since I don't have the hosting available to upload some kind of fancy chart, a plain text layout after the jump. Read More

On the heels of that joke of a budget submission, now we have this revelation:

New White House Estimate Lifts Drug Benefit Cost to $720 Billion

We decried this when it was passed as a giveaway to big pharma, and coupling this news with the details of the budget submission (when they become available) should make for a powerful story. Read More

Given some of the things I've been reading here of late, I wanted to take a few minutes to highlight an exceptional article in The New York Times Magazine yesterday. Entitled A Question of Numbers and written by Roger Lowenstein, it examines the perspective of government actuaries who have been assessing data and projecting the future of Social Security since the program was founded.

What do they see as the looming crisis? Nothing at all. More after the jump. Read More

Over the last two months there have obviously been a number of things I have found distressing with our country.

But there have also been some significant items that I have found distressing within the community here...and given the recent Kos vs. Exley tete-a-tete, I'm at the end of my proverbial rope. Hence this diary...but in short, I can't help feeling like a large portion of Daily Kos is going to complete and utter shit. More below. Read More

Re-framing the Values debate is the strategy, as has been addressed here Ad infinitum.

And I think we got a pretty decent handle on the tactics here, with this website and others like it being a large part.

We've also talked about the blue states and how we create a large majority of the entertainment and intellectual property in this county. This is an inherent advantage for us as we go about building our machine.

In line with that, I came across a fairly interesting piece that I want to share...because I personally found it be quite uplifting. The piece is copied below in its entirety, with important parts called out: Read More

I figured that, after a weekend of GOTV, Halloween parties, and candy distribution, we're all a little tired and maybe a little short in the brain/energy department.

Therefore, please enjoy the following URL. No thinking required:
