		<description>&lt;p&gt;Score another one for Dump Bachmann. Funny thing is, if it weren’t for these volunteer bloggers, Michele Bachmann would be just another unknown freshman congresswoman in the minority party.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;Yes, exactly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyone of us — you, me — we can be heroes.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We can be the heroes we’ve needed and have been unable to find anywhere else.  We need only stick our necks out just a little bit, peck at that keyboard a few more strokes, and we can uncover something every bit as important as the facts underlying the outing of Valerie Plame or the drive to an illegal war.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Self-empowerment — empower yourself to help, and we can save ourselves.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;“the reporter who broke the Randall Cunningham story (simply by googling real estate info btw)”…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just goes to show, anyone with a computer and a keyboard and a modicum of intelligence can become the ant that starts the earthquake.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Move one strategically placed grain of sand, and the whole fault slips.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And instead of a “modicum of intelligence” start with brilliant, dedicated and resolute lawyers and experts like FDL has on board, and the ant becomes a bulldozer.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Must be getting into EPUzone here, but just a heads-up that Imus is doing his St. Paddy’s show in Boston.  Kerry coming up soon.  Russert and Kearns Goodwin already on [wfan.com Instant Replay if you want to give a listen].&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Before commenting here I sent this to the Imus show:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Goodwin talked about the nobility of Lincoln and FDR and the wars on their watch.  I do think at an instinctive level the American public has believed Iraq is not a noble war.  Never was.  Oh sure, there’s the photo-stunts–plastic turkey everyone–and a lot of p.r. and noise from Bush and his supporters.  But truth will out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My husband has said Bush has read about all the great presidents and jumped on the idea that to be great you had to have a war, so he made one.   We abandoned more than a battlefield when the troops were shifted from Afghanistan to Iraq.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maybe Chee-knee doesn’t want people to know that he only goes to Walter Reed to check into one of the  VIP suites.  Sure would be interesting to contrast some video of those rooms with the rooms in Building 18.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;May your shadows be behind you, and may God hold you [and Jane and Steve and Christy especially this day] in the palm of her hand.  Happy St. Pat’s all.  Sure and ’tis.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-562195&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Lindy @ 329&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’m afraid I haven’t been working on that line of inquiry; seems like there is so much to investigate and simply not enough researchers to go around.  However, while working with the ePluribus Media gang, I do know that we keep our eyes peeled for any relationship to Abramoff-related scandals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the case of the USA’s, I set up a “risk matrix” to see if there was a unifying risk factor for each of the USA’s.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One risk factor that united seven of the Gonzo Eight was Enron exposure.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hmmm.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anybody else for poking around in this and helping out, I’d encourage you to consider joining &lt;a href=&quot;http://scoop.epluribusmedia.org&quot;&gt;ePluribus Media’s community&lt;/a&gt; and pitching in by posting what you find.  Others in the community may add to your findings, or they may use it whatever they are working on at the time or even a year later (been there, done that!).  Thanks!!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Since this seems to be the only thread still current today, just wanted to encourage all the Pups here with a Bible verse, one that speaks well of our noble protectors of democracy; wonder what the fundies spin this one into? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Read Proverbs, chapter 24, verses 24-25. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And thanks again for your work, you folks are on the front lines in the battle for freedom, truth and justice.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
