Late late late night-with LHP?By: looseheadprop Saturday August 4, 2007 10:03 pm |
I don’t know if there is another late night post coming up or not.
The comments thread on my last post is over 300, and you know how bad that is for the servers. So here is fresh thread.

how weird about L&O episode.
Hey LHP-

I’ve posted this before. Maybe it will lift your spirits, in a totally OT way.

Must be a real late nite for LHP, being in New York.
Looseheadprop for president!
i’m in the room again after going to the Teamstetrs’ BBQ – and Markos arrived in a huge tractor trailor, horn blaring!! He and Jim Hoffa announced a new alliance between our two nations – which i think is brilliant. So, LecSmith, Katiemine, Joel Wright, Chris Brown, and i talked to some Teamsters and found completely common ground.
Then, on to the finale of the day – several Laughing Liberally stand-ups who were unbelievable and then Gloria and Markos came on to thank us (what?? we thank them!!!) and then give Steve Gilliard a moment of silence – Silence? Us? Hell, no! We stood and gave Steve a standing ovation for one minute! Markos almost wept.
Kathryn in MA @ 11
Was there for a day Kathryn. So sorry I missed you. And thanks for this.
newtonusr @ 12
thanks
thanks Kathryn!
very cool for Steve.
I’m w-a-y down. Thanks LHP and everyone else for being there
Bustednuckles @ 10
Uh, guys,
I did a boo boo.
I saw the comment thread on FISA was over 300 and threw up a new thead so the servers wouldn’t crash.
You all should be on Thers’s thread.
So, I’m not supposed to be here?
CRAP!
No computer for a week and now this.
Barkeep?
A double here please.
LHP- I’m going to try to close this thread and then we can reopen it later when needed.

Suzanne @ 45
holy cow….lots of pups with lots to say.
neuro, we are here now… this post was posted within a few of thers’ post – so i held it back for late late nite… which we are now :)
I came late to Late Nite tonite, and was angry to hear that FISA got trashed (although I expected it), but happy that my new Democratic Congresswoman voted NO!!!
I think I am going to have to borrow some of my unbounded contempt for Joe Lieberman and direct it toward the Democrats who enabled this abomination.
wangdangdoodle @ 46
Prosit, WangDang!!!
CTuttle @ 47
stop confusing things ct – we are here now :)
Should that have been “boundless contempt for Joe Lieberman”?
Well, anyway, you get the idea.
LoudounLib @ 48
Mods, take a bow…
Suzanne @ 49
But it slipped out early, eh, Ma’am???
Good evening all. Glad to see you again.
The Mod Squad backing me up has been forking fantastic tonight. They deserve a standing O for all their work behind the scenes
(standing on chair clapping for the Mod Squad)
Suzanne @ 44
I don’t know if you are referring to moderator feelings or feelings resulting from the devastating news that our representatives caved…anyway, either way. The important thing to remember is that the point of power is now!, not 6 hours ago…Now. We have to go forward. We cannot get bogged down in negativity. Regroup.
What newton said! ((((Suz and backstage crew)))
texBetsy in Chicago @ 56

Just noticed “destructions”. HA!HA!HA!
LS @ 128
Now, That’s the spirit!
can you tell us what your facebook profile name is?
i put my face back on facebook.
so quaint.
A number of us have been trying to articulate some of the things that bother us about Hillary’s militarism, and to some it seems like misogny. Robert Parry does a reasonable job of giving voice to some of those concerns:

yellowdog jim @ 132
You got an invite an’ a gentle poke in the ribs.
Guys. I got to meet our TRex. What a wonderful guy….
The end of YKos with Markos was so strong. He’s decided to go with the other sites (FDL?) for strength. It will be called “Netroots Nation”. He was really in tears about what has happened with us. He is so humble with regard to what he has done for all of us. MARKOS DESERVES A SEAT IN THE SENATE!
Loo Hoo. @ 135
Looking forward to hearing more!
BigMitch @ 124
This ‘cynical prudence’ equals the continued murder of Iraqi resistance fighters as well as civilians. Oh, yes, patriots oppose us and have no interest in us at home. Not to say that there are not now internationalist jihadists that would have us punished collectively, which is a different problem.
The ‘prudence’ also equals the possible attack of Iran for the crime of disliking our policies, as well as the continued dismemberment of the Justice Department, to name one. I could go on. Oh, I’m already going on.
In keeping with the Mr. Smith comment above, it’s not our job to make our Democratic incumbents seats cozy. Do they think the Republicans intend to hand over the keys to the Administration just because the public is angry and thinks there will have been an election in 2008. Someone mentioned a bumper sticker below calling Bush a chump. He’s the chumper, we’re the chumps.
Loo Hoo. @ 135
Fine. Let’s run him against DiFi.
Hillary got shot down today for speaking honestly. Keep in mind that this happens all too often in MSM, but we have to watch out for the netroots too. She was honest enough to say that yes, she would take lobbyists money.
I am a member of the National Education Association (NEA), and I have lobbyists in DC. The other candidates tried to make it sound like all lobbyist money was dirty. Hillary was the only honest one, imo.

Arisen from the La Brea Tar Pits, (Spanish for “The The Tar Tar Pits”), he will have met residency requirements.
yellowdog jim @ 131
try Linda Scott
Suzanne @ 45
I think that must be something like a group hug, considering the way today has gone.
But lemme continue something from LHP’s last, since this is supposed to be spillover:
You’re right, mostly. Hillary Clinton is a member of the DLC Leadership Team, and Al From is the founder and CEO. They’re hawks in Foreign policy, and think that’s the only way to win. Just to keep us all confused, they have a partnership with the “Progressive Policy Institute”, which is supposed to function as the DLC think tank, ISTM.
The DCCC last year was run by Rep. Rahm Emmanuel; he’s still listed as Democratic Caucus Chair, and the DCCC is basically run by the top leadership of the Democrats in the House, i.e., Pelosi, Hoyer, Emmanual, and others.
The DSCC is the equivalent organization for the Senate. I think Sen. Schumer runs it.
The DNC is run by Howard Dean and represents the Democratic Party nationally. It is more of an outside-the-beltway group, because it includes party organizations that currently do not have any congresscritters.
Briefly, DNC is much more grass-roots based, which is relatively a new thing. The DLC is much more oriented towards big donors inside the beltway.
Finally, don’t neglect ActBlue, “The online clearinghouse for Democratic Action”. That’s not really an organization in the sense that the others are, but they constitute a better alternate vehicle for your campaign $$$ than the DCCC or the DSCC. Last year, the DCCC and the DNC had very different electoral strategies, and sometimes fought with each other.
Of course, YMMV, ISTM, IIRC, etc.

I have just emerged from facebook hell…..
tangled in questions, and things, and I don’t know what…I don’t know what I’m in or not in… or who can contact me or what….
I’ll just have a beer.
BTW. Where is Alfred? Anyone?
Pls. delete 140, thought reference was to TRex.
Ha! I did a facebook search and got 100 names. Which one is you?
:)
yellowdog jim @ 132
I sent you a message just now. Until Mr. LS returns, I am an internet moron.
wangdangdoodle @ 145
Whaaaat???? Well, I’m the other one.
LS @ 147
I just googled Linda Scott. I am NOT any of those people…nothing here, here..move along..
texBetsy in Chicago @ 61
TexBetsy! Must be late at night for you!
Thanks for your blogging and pix from YKos. I’ve been listening to the keynotes on Ustream.tv, and the presidential leadership thingy, too. I look forward to your blogging Jane live for us tomorrow.
One of the pix showed you in a wheel chair. You OK? Do you need some shalom from us?

BigMitch @ 124
Boy, that’s about the dumbest strategy I ever heard of. What ever happened to their oath of office? “I swear to defend the Constitution, except when it might help us win more elections”? Sounds like malfeasance, to me. The only problem is that it fits perfectly with what my congresscritter has said. Pardon me while I throw up. But at least he voted against the Repubs FISA bill today.
If that comes from Pelosi, she deserves to lose. A pox be on anyone who puts party advantage over defending the Constitution.
Bob in HI
Loo Hoo. @ 139
There are “good” lobbyists in Washington. The problem is, they don’t have as much money as the “bad” Lobbyists do. The ACLU has to go up against Halliburton. The League of Conservation Voters has to go up against Exxon. The AARP has to go up against Big Pharma. And that’s what Obama explained for Hillary’s benefit at the Presidential leadership panel. And he scored. Of course, he missed his cue the first time Edwards brought it up, so he had to bring it up again. :-)
