I live on Long Island and Congressman Tim Bishop is my congressman.

Yesterday I just saw the reports of how he was mobbed at a town hall meeting.
I didn't go to the town hall meeting - I was not even aware he was having one.

What happened there is my fault. I did nothing and this was the outcome.
Giving money is comfortable and quick but is too easy (even if you can barely
afford to give the money). That's my opinion.

What must I do to make this right?

I must put forth an effort on my own terms - not on the terms of my opponents.

I confess. I'm a fan of the Fox TV series "Lie To Me".

There some kind of fascination with the concept that every lie we tell can be
spotted.

I don't have satellite/cable/on-air reception so I watch on the internets
typically a couple of days after a broadcast.

Last night I watched the latest episode - the one that Fox decided to air instead
of the President's press conference.

It was interesting...
[SPOILER ALERT!]

The GOP thrives in darkness.

That explains why Gustav is good for the GOP. Think about it. The GOP liked nothing better than trying to draw attention to all the Democratic policies they think people will not like. But when it comes to their own convention, they now get the best of all worlds.

They can write a platform that completely panders to the base. They can fete their conservative heroes (GHWB, GWB, DC, KR, etc.). They can honor whoever they want. People will not know because there is no media coverage. They can stress their abortion stand, take on judges, 'fiscal policies', etc.

They can do all this without taking any kind of political hit because no one is paying attention.

I like science fiction. I love science fiction.

There was a diary today (Rey Mota) asking readers to choose between Star Wars and Star Trek. I read it. I liked it. I would have liked to choose something else.

I think there was a scifi series that is worthy of much respect - but perhaps is less well known than ST or SW. Follow me over the link to see you if agree...

Hi Kossacks!

I finally get up off my gluteus maximus and decided that I need professional help.
My office is literally to the left and the other guy's office is literally to the right.
He comes in sometimes (whenever the Ministry of Truth announces that we have yet again
achieved a marvelous victory in our war against EastHem) and says to me, "So tell me, if you
know so much, what would you have us do different?"

If you think you could answer this question, please help...

(or at the very least - try your luck with my first poll)
