For some reason, the venue makes me giggle like a serial killer. Those bad Dems should force those GOP squids to have their next Perp-to-Vic on-camera session in the Mark Foley Memorial Men’s Room in the Longworth building. Then I might just burst a blood vessal.

Just getting here, browsing through the thread when the following post caught my eye. I bolded the almost verbatim part of a post I put up yesterday.
Must have been better than I thought!

Undeniable Liberal @ 61

First, incoming Dems have insisted that Congress now work a full week as posted Here , and now, the horror of it all, the Dems are insisting that Congress play by the same minority stifling rules that the Republicunts insisted on when they were in the majority. And the Party of God, immature hypocrites that they are, don’t like it a bit. Tough shit Fucktards. Bastards had no problem shitting all over the bed while they had the majority. Nuclear Option, anyone?They pulled every dirty, rotten trick they could think of. Now, before the Dems are even sworn in, they are screeching. Eat shit boys and lawyer up. You all gonna be busy fighting subpeonas real soon.
Well, it only took the republicans two and a half years to agree that Pelosi’s bill is a good idea. I think we can meet them halfway and wait a year or eighteen months. Until enough of the old guard have been neutered. Just as every Republican has said for over ten years: if you don’t win the election, you need to STFU. So now, little Republifundies, you can STFU, and kindly step out of the way of the Democratic Mandate which was just voted in by the nation.
Remember the great immortal catch-phrases:
They won, you lost.
It’s done now.
Get over it.
Let’s MOVE ON!!
Fuck ‘em and the lobbyist cash cows that they rode in on. Let them cry.

ears repeatin’ !

John McCain just held up the spindly figure of Lieberman as proof that the elections were not a referendum on drawing down US troops in Iraq.

Thanks Connecticut.

Hell, the Connecticut Democrats didn’t vote for Lieberman – they voted for Lamont. It was all the Republicans who elected Joe. The CT Rethugs were so anxious to keep “bipartisan Joe”, they threw their own guy to the wolves.

CSPAN-2 replaying the jr. GOP Whine Club lameness form yesterday.

First rule of Whine Club: Don’t talk about Whine Club

I had to share that one with the Wonketeers, twolf.

where is bill frist? he could surely give them some excellent pointers before he cleans out his desk ……

perris — there was a government study done on media ownership; believe that it was killed before it could be published, because it said that media ownership after waves of consolidation posed a threat to free speech.

Have to do some digging, but this is the kind of thing that needs to be restored and completed, and then acted upon.

Almost need a wiki to keep track of all the stuff like this that the tyranny of the Republican majority in 2-plus arms of government has foisted on us and needs to be undone.

Anyhow, when ownership rules were changed, there was more than enough outlets — but officials at that time did not think far enough ahead to see that the economic pressure of shareholders and economies of scale would encourage so much consolidation that the multitude of outlets would eventually be owned by 10 or fewer companies. Law of unintended consequences at work, if one was generous.

Rayne, all, re (my) bold above — we *definitely* need a wiki, there is too much stuff and too scattered to keep track of. People keep doing this work of drawing it together. But despite bookmarking like crazy I keep losing too much important stuff, both my own diggings and wonderful work that others have done.

Blogs give us eyes everywhere, almost immediate heads-up when something happens, and instant access to a community of informed, trusted analysis and opinion.

Search engines give us lightening research both general and specialized. But mostly we are accessing other people’s memories, so to speak.

But we need a wiki to create our own organizational and long-term purposive ‘memory’, or perhaps ‘will’ is a better term for it.

So, how shall we proceed? Do we need a sterring committee? A resolution? A proposal? My blog or yours?

For instance, we could use the regulat wikipedia to a large extent — it’s there and the world reads it. Some of what we want to do may not fit with that mission, though, though. We may need a special-purpose wiki to track just ‘out’ stuff. So, we’ll need to figure out what *out* stuff is, of course. Is there any existing wiki that we could use for this, such as SourceWatch or Congresspedia?

OMG — It’s Dick Armey on my teevee. And Andrea Mitchell is asking him about Democratic strategy.

Gah! The “ethnic cleansing of palestinians” guy?

Good morning, pups.

I got epu’ed on this request last thread.

I’d like to contribute to the DC trip to cover Scootard’s trial, but I won’t touch paypal.

Is there a snail-mail addy for contributions?

Thanks.

i’ll second that emotion ……..

Thank goodness for Cindy Sheehan. We need to keep up the pressure on the Democrats to stop the war. Moderates don’t need to be afraid of this; the public overwhelmingly opposes the Bush/McCain escalation plan and it would be great politics for the Democrats to block it, if they can stir up the courage to do so.
