They say "timing is everything in life."

You may remember that last year, Countdown did an investigation of the "coincidences" between raised terror alerts and bad news for the Bush administration. It was quite compelling. I just finished sending a request to Keith Olbermann to investigate the convenient timing of the Foley sex and cover-up scandal. The dKos community is so focused on this scandal (as are the other lefty blogs) that I believe we are failing to see the Foley for the trees. Yes, the cover-up may be bad for the House leadership in November. (That assumes, of course, that you believe we are going to have a "real" election this year.) What doesn't seem to be getting much play is the curious timing of the Foley revelations. Read More

(Couldn't find this in the diaries. Please remove if already posted.)

William Rivers Pitt has just sent a memo to the dems in Congress calling for them to walk out during Bush's State of the Union speech. This is not only NOT a crazy idea (as he suggests it might be), but one that we should urge our reps to adopt.

I wish I had more time to devote to this but I am running out right now and wanted to get this posted. I hope we can support this idea by pressing our reps with emails and calls.

They say "timing is everything."

TODAY, four days after the largest anti-war march and rally DC has seen in years;

TODAY, two days after a massive civil disobedience action at the White House;

TODAY, one important voice found the courage to speak out directly and forcefully to the American people;

TODAY, Kos, TODAY, not last week, not last month, but TODAY, Senator Russ Feingold took to the Senate floor and delivered one of the most stinging critiques of the failed Bush policy in Iraq.

If you think the timing of this speech had nothing to do with the gathering pressure of the anti-war movement and the events of this past weekend in particular, then you don't understand politics!

Give us this day our dailyKos and we feel alive. Connected to each other. Faceless names with fearless thoughts. We inhale the clever comments. We exhale our rants. We breathe in the news of the day and receive sustenance in the form of recommendeds. It's a brave, new, world we hang out in. But, unless we break through this blogoshpere bubble, the old world as we know it, will be gone.

ENOUGH ALREADY! I am so tired of seeing the phrase "moral values" on so-called progressive media sites, that I am seeing red. Republican red, that is, right here on these pages. Despite all the blogging about how we must reframe issues a la Lakoff, progressive bloggers continue to fall into the trap so neatly planted for them by republican theopoliticians and journalists.
