And Rahm is apparently Captain Obvious.

Haven’t read the book but I know that in 1800 the penalty for thefts in excess of a shilling (@ 30-40 cents) was transport to Australia.

Glad you're back, RevBev. I found that article. Whoo boy. She's dead wrong about it affecting very few women.

Meanwhile, Fox News Anchor Chris Wallace said Sunday the White House is refusing to provide guests for talk shows on that channel.

No rush on calling the WAAAHM-bulance.

There was something in the Washington Post this morning about the WH now allowing administration officials to appear on Fox News (as read on Washington Journal). So it looks like Obama’s going to go ahead and legitimize them.

I’ve probably been boring you all with this take on the RhamObama long range strategy, but give it a think. It is my view that it is an important consideration in how we Liberals plan our own strategies. We must take into consideration that the Obama administration may just not want us in their party. Their criticism is toward not just the wings of the Right but the majority Democratic liberals while fawning on any GOPer who will listen to them.

I think they believe the country will be more stable by forming a big business oriented Conservative Party, in fact, if not name, distinct from Dem/GOP. suggests this would be catastrophic but who knows?

The tactic of continuously dissing the far right wingos and as well progressive/liberals in the Democratic Party is very similar to the Reagan style of dismissing liberal Republicans while bringing into the GOP conservative Democrats and crazies not normally party affiliated.

How can Liberal/Progressives make ourselves wanted? Voters. Grassroots. and maintaining some cohesive sense of identity. i.e. stop running from the label. I am heartened by the support among the grassroots for our vision for health care and the environment.

They can posture about Fox News all they want, but until they toss the fuckers out of the White House Press Corps, they’re supporting Fox’s legitimacy as a news organization.

This was actually a long time coming. Those idiots at the networks have basically been called out by the Whitehouse. Continue to report the garbage that fox creates and you’re complicit in the media malpractice that is rampant today. I kept waiting for Rahm to bring up Michelle Malkin’s appearance a few months ago on This Week. He should have smacked Georgie with that one. This was a great move by the administration. Parrot fox “news” and you’ll be proven to be the lemmings that you are. They should be treated as the National Enquirer of tv news!
