This morning driving to Starbucks, listening to my local Air America program I smile at the dem who called in to report a phone call with a Republican neighbor. "The guy was so hopping mad! He said he wouldn't vote Republican come November"

Yesss. More. More of that please. And that is why Impeachment is stupid, stupid, stupid.

It is so fundamental anyone who has boiled water can understand it.

This is Socks here. And I am fed up with getting tossed about like a stoooopid fussball when it comes to the Clintons. Let's face it, I was subjected to more House oversight than Bush's illegal wiretaps. Remember in 1995 when Rep. Dan Burton (R-IN) chair of the House government Reform and Oversight Committee investigated whether taxpayers were footing the cost of staionery and postage for the fan club dedicated to me. They weren't, but what a dustup!!

But then the Clintons adopted a dog!! I don't know what possessed them. I certainly tried to show them the error of their ways. Because I never, ever showed one kind claw to the dogster. He was perfect prey. But, but

If you care to understand the support for Hillary, here it is. This man says it all!!! Beautifully. Clearly.

And he's a blogger. So he also makes it clear why that matters.

This is a brief post so that you will clink on the link. Come back here afterwards and comment. This is the nuts and bolts of her candidacy and why so many are supporting her. No she is isn't the leftyhefty, and no she isn't the rightytighty. But she will advance a progressive agenda in a nation teetering on the brink.

I have always been fascinated by the story after everyone goes home. As a working news reporter I used to say, "Let's go back and find out what happened to that guy who won the lottery or to the woman who got raped or to the animals who were rescued." In respone to this suggestion a series of male editors invariably frowned, some shook their heads. What a goose, I could see them thinking. But don't you want to know?

We are in path of socal wildfire. Very hard to get information. Does anyone know latest news--this is Monday at 9:30 am? Worried order to evacuate my 87 year old Mom will come to late. Sorry to take up space this way, but my computer with DSL line is verrrry slow now. We are in Vista. I know San marcos next town over has been partly evacuated. The winds had died down for about an hour, but now they are back. Roaring. I keep hearing the fire is headed west which would be toward us, but can't get any real hard news. If anyone has latest news please post. Phone lines to officials are impossible. Thanks for help with information .

Misogyny & Hillary

Mistrust, hatred based on gender and woman fear is driving a lot of the "I just don't like her" stuff the press keeps reporting about Hillary Clinton. We shouldn't be surprised. Woman hatred has roots stretching back to the beginning of the Judeo Christian religious tradition; and even today many evangelical faiths treat women as servants. "Thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee." says Genesis.

So isn't it a bit naive to think a woman with smarts, committment and nerve who has mounted the most serious challenge by a female politician for the White House in American history won't be victim to some misognystic push back? Of course it is.

I don't know when or how I developed the notion that "blogging" is an open playing field and open to all sorts of opiners, that is folks with opinions. But that understanding seems to have been co-opted by political and/or campaign sites and is becoming as outdated as the dodo. Since I support Hillary, her blogging sites are the ones with which I am most familiar. And all I can say is, OY!

The control and excessive management in the guise of "blogging" on All the Hillary campaign sites gives me a headache. These aren't blogs. They are political promos. And mostly only those individuals paid/and/or approved by the campaign are allowed to blog. An exception to this is that someone culls the web for when someone writes something friendly to Hillary and if it also pleases her blog managers it goes up on these sites

I am on the 'wrong' side of the illegal immigration issue because I believe the system is broken, and I want to see illegal immigration stopped. To many posters this makes me a 'racist,' a 'hateful' creepo,' and a 'troll.' No one seems to care that I was the only Anglo invited to be a Charter Member of the Allianza de Federal, or that last year I offered to sponsor a young mexican neighbor for her green card. This doesn't count. Why?

Because I have dared to take a position other than the official liberal position on Illegal Immigration and so I am to be smeared and insulted at will.

The Buddhist Peace Fellowship is organizing rallies across the nation in support of the monks in Burma. They are hoping that Saturday will be an International Day of Protest against the ruling junta's mass executions and imprisonment of monks. They are also asking people to wear red or maroon--the saffron color of a monk's robes. Here is the link to see if there's a protest near you and to stay updated on these protests.

Calendar of vigils on the BPF website are updated regularly, so please keep checking it.

When I was a schoolgirl the villains of the Revolutionary War were the Hessian mercenaries the British hired to fight the colonists. Mercenary accordingly became a detested and much despised concept to Americans. When did we the people decide it is ok to hire them? Do we really want to be a nation that will not draft its own to fight its wars and hires instead paid killers? http://www.nytimes.com/...

I have not marched against the war in Iraq. I went to one protest and it was so pathetically small and inconsequential-- a kind of reunion for aging 60's types on the beach in Carlsbad-- that I came home more depressed than before I went. So I didn't have much hope for a film about the war. But "In the Valley of Elah" is a stunning masterpiece that works on every level! It is an indictment, but it is never didactic. No question, Tommy Lee Jones will win the Best Actor Oscar for it; and Sarandon and Theron will vie for supporting awards.
