Personal matters have kept me from being active in the community for a long time. But I do continue to lurk and read prominent stories when I’m able. Thank you to the community for what you do.

Anyway, a friend of mine wrote a book that I thought folks here might appreciate. I find it hilariously snarky.

“A is for Alternative Facts”, … “C is for Covfefe”… “Presented at a Presidential reading level”.

It’s available on Amazon if you’re interested in a copy.

He originally wrote it thinking he’d give out a few copies to family and friends. But he was getting so many requests as word spread that he jumped in and made it available on Amazon. I hesitated posting this since I actually know the author, but even if I didn’t know him I would have still thought that people in this community would find it humorous. Obviously, I don’t benefit from any sales.

If folks this it’s inappropriate for me to post since I do know the author, just chime in on the poll and I’ll remove it.

No Kos, internet voting will NOT be "glorious"

It will be a disaster for our democracy.

I started this as a reply to Kos' diary Internet voting SHOULD terrify Republicans but it got too long and so I morphed it into a diary... (it's been awhile since I've done that, but this topic is one I'm passionate about)

Sorry Kos, you are simply wrong if you think this should take place:

Internet voting will eventually happen. It'll begin with a few brave tests (a 2010 test in DC failed), and someone will figure it out. And then a (Blue) state will adopt it. I nominate California. And then more (Blue) states will adopt it. And it will be glorious. And if demographic trends haven't already done the GOP in, true universal voting will.

When people gnash their teeth over how the Supreme Court decision in Citizens United is bad for our democracy, I suspect most are thinking about big corporations dumping tons of money into the major campaigns for seats in Washington.

But what I fear even more than this is when small companies begin to take over local elections with even modest amounts of money so that they can install local officials that will look out for their interests.

Well, it looks like that's starting already... in Kentucky...

I posted the latest Gallup poll on my FB page stating that "The "Party of NO" strategy is losing support (not that it had a lot to start with)." Since I have a bunch of right-wing relatives that I friended (what was I thinking!), I usually expect some type of ridiculous response to my politically-oriented posts. It took awhile, but if finally showed up from my B-i-L in KY.

Did you know we are headed back to the welfare state? Presumably we're going to enable the return of all those (fictional) welfare queens driving around in their Caddy's...

I share it with you over the hump...

Yep - that's what I'm being told via email from my brother-in-law using a Rush quote and an editorial from Investor's Business daily. You see, the banks HAD to start making those risky investments because the Clinton administration forced them to. Join me after the jump...

Some time ago my rightwing brother blasted a note to siblings/friends touting Corsi's book and claiming that there was no way anyone could read that with it's 700 footnotes and not come away believing anything except Obama is nothing but a socialist who will destroy the country.

Back in January, Bill in Portland Maine threw out a cheer to catch the movie Taxi to the Dark Side which had opened in theaters. This movie examines the death of that Afghani taxi driver in 2002 at Bagram air base.

Well, ThinkProgress is informing us that HBO plans to air this movie in September. Let's discuss it's impact on the election on the flip...

This is hilarious!

Flying Spaghetti Monsterism is thriving. So much so that there will be a panel discussion on FSM at the American Academy of Religion conference in San Diego this weekend.

More on the flip side...

There have been a few posts over the last couple of months about how the R's are looking at Thompson as the second coming of Reagan. Today, I got the forwarded message below from my conservative sister & brother-in-law in KY repeating that frame. It is a letter by Bruce Walker that apparently was posted to the web back in March bu written a couple of months prior to that. I didn't see this anywhere in the Fred Thompson-tagged diaries, so if it's already been discussed just say so and I'll take it down. Join me after the jump...

Since the open thread mentioned Salon's coverage of PBS's "Spying on the home front", I thought I'd mention that today (May 14th) is being referred to as "Spying on the Internet" day.

PBS appears to just be covering the spying topic from the FISA/warrantless NSA surveillance program perspective. But the expansion of the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) is an enabler for much more than just listening in on phone conversations.

May 14th is the official deadline for cable modem companies, DSL providers, broadband over powerline, satellite internet companies and some universities to finish wiring up their networks with FBI-friendly surveillance gear, to comply with the FCC's expanded interpretation of the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act.
