In the wake of the Dems' first health care victory (there will be more to come) MSNBC's Mornin' Joe Scarborough lamented average New Yorkers inability to pay the wealth tax. As Joe cried, with his highly paid talking head cohorts nodding in agreement, "you can't have a family in Manhattan for under $200,000!" So how does the Average Joe make it in Manhattan?

Joan Walsh of Salon.com today wondered if, when, and how progressives will demonstrate greater pushback against the "Town Hell" nutjobs. Does anyone know of progressive, pro-public option events taking place in their communities? If so, please share.

I spoke with an office rep at senator wyden's office today and he explained Dems need Republican support because Byrd and Kennedy can't be counted on.

This is not so much a diary as a plea to DKos editors. There is strife and unrest in Iran and yet I see nothing about it on this site. I know Kos has explained that this community's focus is mostly on domestic issues, but Obama's response to today's events is (or is about to be) a domestic political issue. We better start engaging now!

For too long we have had a broken "system" in which costs of care continue to rise while numbers of insured continue to decline. Yet the AMA continually insists that it has patients' best interests in mind as it argues against a public option for health insurance. As a patient I am here to say that, "The AMA Does Not Speak for Me!"

I believe patients can organize to combat the AMA and their faulty arguments against REAL healthcare reform. The AMA has a number of social networking outlets that we can use to share what patients really think! I've set up a blog to hopefully get people to start sharing ideas about how patients can influence the AMA and lawmakers to keep a healthcare public option. Go to AMA Double Speak and share your ideas on how we can tell lawmakers that the AMA DOES NOT SPEAK FOR ME!

Building upon George Lakoff's idea of creating new terms to shape debate, my wife and I brainstormed words to describe how McCain is trying to use Obama's terms as McCain's own. We felt it was immportant, VERY important, that we develop a new term for someone (like McCant) who tries to make another's ideas their own. Therefore, we came up with the term:

"Prop"

As in, "John McCain propped Obama's message of change."

After 7 years of divisiveness and employing an us-versus-them model of governing, George W. Bush is finally showing himself to be the "uniter, not a divider" he always dreamed of.

The WaPo released "An Evolving List" of U.S. attorneys to be fired. What's really interesting is what's NOT there.

I should be working on my thesis but I can't get this out of my head, so I'll just jot down some ideas about starting up our own DailyKos video news station. Our own "network news", if you will, composed of Netroots folks from all over the country. So in the vein of the old, "Hey let's put on a show!" type enthusiasm, here goes...

Today, President Bush argued that the war in Iraq was akin to America's fight against the Nazis in World War II. As such, he is sending a bill to Congress asking the nation impose a draft and has directed his cabinet to make preparations for "the federal government to take over certain industres." The move is expected to transition the US into a "wartime economy" so that the country can defeat the forces of terror. Read More
