I've read the release of the statement from Mel Gibson asking for help from Jewish leaders in helping him to understand "where those words came from" when he was drunk the other night.

It doesn't take a crystal ball for this picture to become any clearer. In the White House (signing statements by Bush) and both chambers of Congress (Frist and Hastert as leaders) the rule of law seems to be dead. (See the SCOTUS ruling on Hamden v Rumsfeld and John Dean's latest FindLaw piece about what Graham and Kyl were up to with the WH to get that one dismissed and got caught in the act) Now a court is going to hear arguments about why the government (Justice Dept. same one who used the Graham Kyl fraud in the Hamdan case) should be dismissed. This is regarding the Deficit Reduction Act that Bush signed into law knowing the congress didn't vote for the same version as the senate. (Cheney was a tie breaker in the senate).

The New York Times had an excellent op-ed, which I blogged about at the Clark Community Network. http://www.securingamerica.com/...

(This takes you to my blog and link to the article.) It seems that more Patriots
died in British NY prisons than during battle. The conditions were beyond horrible. Many of these men were locked away on prison ships where they died. This is something we just don't learn about from our school history books. After the war, of course King George III was not held accountable for "war crimes" as he was the king of the British Empire. After this war, nations did start to establish rules on treatment of POWs and who counts as a POW. England called our Patriots, "insurgents" or "enemy combatants" not deserving of POW status. These are my words more or less. Read More

We can do both a 50 state strategy and fund the DCCC for November

Yesterday I wrote a comment about how well I think the 50 state strategy is working in Kansas. I got a lot of positive feedback for my comment. Now, I am a believer that we can do two things at once. We can have a 50 state strategy and also give the money to the DCCC that they will need to help all these great congressional candidates win in November. If 600,000 people send the DCCC $100 (you know the spiel) they will have the $60 million they need to do the great work they do. Read More

It was so exciting to see a blogger, one of us featured in a very long article in the WAPO. If anyone has a right to be angry with the Bush administration for repeating the mistakes of the Nixon administration, it's MSOC. How many of us lost our fathers to "an unfortunate incident" such as the war in Vietnam? She held her own on FOX too! Read More

It's time for us to become a unified Democratic party with one very central message. Last summer at a grassroots meetup in Little Rock, Arkansas of the National Clark Community, George Lakoff told us that our frame for our party is "the common good." He also talked about the early states being called a commonwealth in that everyone was working together and using their resources to work for the common good of their state. Then, that expanded to include the common good of the entire nation through a system of taxation that was to benefit everyone. The words made absolute sense to me. Everything that matters to us as a party and a nation fits into the "common good." Read More

Wes Clark has been speaking out about Iran being the real threat in the middle east and not Iraq since at least 2002. People are finally taking notice and listening to him. He will be on Cavuto today talking about Iran. It's always worth tuning in to hear what he has to say if you can. If not, usually someone posts the video on CCN. There is a thread up now that will include discussion about what he has to say today.

General Clark has written an Op-Ed now up at the New York Times Website. He wrote it from Qatar, where he's attended a conference with others from the middle east. From his most recent contacts he has written a very interesting position on what we now need to do in Iraq. I hope General Pace reads it and pays very close attention. Rummy and Cheney won't even read it, I suspect. If everyone in the Senate and Congress looks it over, it will give them food for thought along with the rest of us. Hint... it's about Iran. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/06/opinion/06clark.html?hp

It seems to me that we need to keep our focus on Treasongate. As Krugman has said very well, "illegal or not, outing a CIA operative is unpatriotic." (paraphrasing) We know she was outed, as well as her husband having told us the truth about the reasons for going to war in Iraq. Nominating Alito is from the Rove playbook to appease the radical religious right and rally them around Dubya. Meanwhile, activity was happening with some of the same Treasongate players in the Vice's office today. Why don't we focus on our own important issues that should be on the front page of every paper in the country. Read More

I read a really heart wrenching story on Drudge about the people going to the AstroDome not being able to take their pets. One of the Clarkies living in Baton Rouge posted that the shelter there has lots of these pets and they are looking for foster homes for them until they can be reunited with their owners. Perhaps contacting the Humane Society where you live could get you in touch with that shelter if you live within 300 miles of the area to house a pet. If someone lives in Houston, I hope they will take in a dog named Snowball for the little boy who went to the AstroDome and "cried until he vomited" when they took his dog. At least he could visit him until they get a new place. I don't have any phone numbers, but a Kossack living closer than I do (Kansas) could perhaps research this and let people know what they can do to house pets or people with pets.

The Clark Community Network has moved to http:www.securingamerica.com/ccn with a new format and new log in required. For those who are waiting to comment there and still can't, please use my diary here as an open thread. Recommend so we can keep it going tonight. Anyone who wants to sign on there as a newbie, please do so and sign up for WesPAC. Be patient, it's similar to here, but still working out the kinks.
