Indiana GOP Senate Candidate Richard Behney told a "patriot" group in Evansville that if "we don't see new faces" in the upcoming Congressionals "I'm cleaning my guns and getting ready for the big show."

"I'm serious about that," added Behney, who is vying to run against incumbent Evan Bayh (D-Milquetoast).

Might be time to up your investments in personal body armor.

My fearless leader in the Senate, Evan Bayh, makes a terrific point today on how important it is to accept a watered down version of health reform. In a another fine example of boldness and bravery, he tells Howey Politics Indiana that we should stop obsessing on the 20 percent that is controversial because only an ideologue would do that.

Evan Bayh, the senator from my home state who continues to not represent me in Congress, says he is "wary" of enacting a public plan, telling the Wall Street Journal the public is tired of government solutions after the Wall Street Bailout, GM, and the stimulus.

“We’ve bumped up against the tolerance for government action,” Sen. Bayh said.

Well, I've bumped up against my tolerance for Bayh and his miserable ilk - wealthy congressional power brokers who think it's okay for their corporate buddies to suckle freely at the government teat, but suddenly they can't spare a dime when it comes to supporting the welfare of the average frickin' joe.

An article by Eric Bradner in today's Evansville Courier & Press features telling comments from a local political science professor that pretty much sums up the question progressives need to ask of Evan Bayh: What's more important, meaningful progress on health care or getting Evan Bayh re-elected.

Because I think all of us here know the answer to that question.

If reports are true, last night the yellow-bellied ass-wipe Democratic "moderate" turn-coats gave a tongue shine to the same boots that kicked America into our current hell-hole. Meanwhile, the Democratic leadership plays kissey face with the cretins that run the Republican Empire, who continue to shovel the country deeper into craptitude. Idiocracy now passes for conservatism in this country. Progressive liberalism is milquetoast.

“It is inexcusable and irresponsible for any of us to get bogged down in distraction, delay or politics as usual while millions of Americans are being put out of work,” said Mr. Obama, who has recently shown less patience for Republican resistance to the bill. (New York Times)

Posers are feeding us a simple story line to garnish their slop. Have we become so fat and lazy that we can't lift ourselves out of the mud long enough to see who provides the lipstick? I'm hoping progressives are willing to call out the SOBs.

Harmony Home's shelter for children affected by HIV/AIDS comprises 65 beds in a four story apartment. At the moment, 44 beds are occupied, including more than 30 boys and girls. One resident is four weeks old. Most are between three and 12 years old. One boy is 15, another is 17. A few are fortunate to have their mothers live with them. These young, single mothers are often recovering drug addicts who work part-time at the shelter.

How to help after the fold.

This from the Nov. 9th issue of the Galveston, Texas, Daily News on FEMA's incompetence following the destruction of Hurricane Ike in mid-September:

The reputation for a slow and incomplete response the government got in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina has only grown in Galveston.

Even high-ranking federal and state officials have heaped criticism on the agency for its missteps.

More ineptitude below the fold.

Watch out rural Pennsylvania - a black man is coming for your guns!

It must be true because the NRA says it's so. From the Leader Times:

A number of Armstrong County gun owners apparently agree with the The National Rifle Association's position: Barack Obama is "...the most anti-gun presidential candidate in American history." With that thought in mind, many gun owners are "stocking up" on guns and ammo in anticipation of gun bans should Obama win the presidential election next Tuesday.

More scary stuff below the fold.

The whole idea has pretty much been trashed from one end of the political spectrum to the other but with less than two weeks left before the fate of the Free World is decided, it's time to ask once again, How bad is McCain's plan to address the mortgage woes that beset our cities and towns?

Even Steve Preston, Bush's HUD Secretary, was compelled to tell those in attendance at a Town Hall forum in Seattle that he has "a very grave concern" about the candidate's proposal.

Fight The Smears: McCain To Rain Rivers Of Crap

Get out your fact books, folks: With their entire house of cards falling apart, what do the Republicans have left but the angry, false, misleading and nasty vitrol that's kept 'em in office lo these past eight sorry years. The bastards.

This morning's Washington Post features an article by Michael D. Shear that describes McCain's intentions to rain shit and slander on the Obama express. The thugs seem to think Americans will continue to drink from the same poisoned cup that served up disastrous heapings of Bush/Cheney political and policy chicanery.

The only antidote to an injection of such filth is a massive dose of truth - as in fightthesmears.com - shouted loud and long over and over again, by as many of us as can immediately muster the will and means to wade through their rivers of crap.

A call to action below the fold

Thanks to the Republicans and their enablers, we are undone. To paraphrase Lamentations 2:5:

Greed has become as an enemy. It has swallowed up our nation, all our palaces. It has destroyed our strong holds, and increased our grief and sorrow.

I hear from among the wealthy the theives who care only for power and material gain. More. They cry for more.

Truly, we are visited with retribution. We have pandered blood and treasure for oil and power. Sad, dark days. I fear for my country.

More below the fold.

The "I'm not qualified, I'm just popular" GOP vice presidential candidate gleefully spent $26 million of YOUR money to build a 3.2 mile road from a small international airport on Gravina Island to link up to the now (hopefully forever) extinct and infamous Bridge to Nowhere. More from the Los Angeles Times (!) story after the fold.
