I grew up reading comic books wanting to be a superhero. Comics taught me that those who speak the truth are heroes, all the rest are liars.

Speak Obama To Me, Pass The A1 Sauce, Make Mine Rare!

It's not just any steak fry. It's Sen. Tom Harkin's steak fry, the Iowa Democrat's trendsetter feast where presidential candidacies are born -- and Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois will headline in September.

Obama's White House chances are set for another boost if party approves new voting calendar designed to expand influence of minority voters on choosing presidential nominee.

Just so you don't think this is a total love fest, I still have some reservation. But I can't turn down a good steak.

I'm Still Having Trouble Sleeping At Night

"They were told to leave"
Leave how, where? It’s not like they have cars, access to money to travel, mass transit or even have anywhere to go. Hell, it took over three weeks to get Americans out!. Hiw and where do you want the 750,000 people to go?


"They are used by terrorist as shields"
Yeah, in a mall, in the basement, the safest place they could find, there were no soldiers, army, terrorist..just families with children...lots of children.

"Hezbollah munitions stashed in or near them caused the building to fall."

And I''m the queen of spain...er..okay reporters with video everywhere, so where's the proof? If this doesn't stink of USA misinformation corp then the pope isn't catholic.

"We can’t have a crease fire or peace treaty because it will just be broken. We need a lasting settlement."
Right, peace doesn’t happen until Rice-a-roni has the proper paperwork signed off on! Without the USA leveraging an immediate creasefire, this situation will continue to deteriorate. Either you demand a rapid crease fire and work during the interim for peace or you're a partner to this kind of violence. How long are civilians to wait for the paperwork on a 'lasting settlement'...it's already been 9 thousand years?

The families who lose their children, brothers that lose their sisters, sisters that lose their fathers...they will now be tomorrow's new terrorist. Violence on top of endless violence.

British Foreign Office minister Kim Howells to BBC in Beruit: "I very much hope that the Americans understand what's happening to Lebanon. The destruction of the infrastructure, the death of so many children and so many people. These have not been surgical strikes. And it's very difficult, I think, to understand the kind of military tactics that have been used. You know, if they're chasing Hezbollah, then go for Hezbollah. You don't go for the entire Lebanese nation."

100 Degrees in Minneosots

It's going to be 100 degrees today... but global warming?
...I would like to remove my name from the list of scientists who dispute global warming. I know my coauthors would as well.Peter Doran, Associate Professor of Earth and Environmental SciencesUniversity of Illinois at Chicago.

Six in ''06

We've got a plan, that a whole lot more than them!


REAL SECURITY AT HOME AND OVERSEAS: Reclaim American leadership with a tough, smart plan to transform failed policies in Iraq, the Middle East and around the world. Require the Iraqis to take responsibility for their country and begin the phased redeployment of US forces from Iraq in 2006. Double the size of Special Forces to destroy Osama Bin Laden and terrorist networks like al Qaeda. Rebuild a state-of-the-art military capable of projecting power wherever necessary. Implement the bipartisan 9/11 Commission proposal to secure America’s borders and ports and screen 100% of containers. Fully man, train, and equip our National Guard and our police, firefighters and other first responders. Honor our commitments to our veterans. (Personally I'd like to see more specifics but this is 100% more foresight than our current international policy)

BETTER AMERICAN JOBS - BETTER PAY: Prohibit the Congressional pay raise until the nation’s minimum wage is raised. End tax give-aways that reward companies for moving American jobs overseas. (This also means you don't increase minimum wage by attaching estate tax breaks for multi-millionairs...are you listening GOP, have you no shame!)

COLLEGE ACCESS FOR ALL: Make college tuition deductible from taxes, permanently. Cut student loan interest rates. Expand Pell Grants.

ENERGY INDEPENDENCE - LOWER GAS PRICES: Free America from dependence on foreign oil and create a cleaner environment with initiatives for energy-efficient technologies and domestic alternatives such as biofuels. End tax giveaways to Big Oil companies and enact tough laws to stop price gouging. (look we need to be weened off gas but you don't do that by giving oil companies record profits from higher prices...but there needs to be a more alternatives funded including local and personal programs...solar cells, collectors...)

AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE - LIFE-SAVING SCIENCE: Fix the Medicare prescription drug program, putting seniors first by negotiating lower drug prices and ending wasteful giveaways to drug companies and HMOs. Promote stem cell research that offers real hope to millions of American families who suffer from devastating diseases. (I've seen this from both ends as someone with insurance and major health issues, and a friend without insurance and major health issues. It's criminal to suffer when the resources are there!)

RETIREMENT SECURITY AND DIGNITY: Stop any plan to privatize Social Security, in whole or in part. Enact real pension reform to protect employees’ financial security from CEO corruption and mismanagement, including abuse of the bankruptcy laws. Expand personal savings incentives.

Kline Needs To Address These Questions

Since DJK broke the story of a Kline staffer ...Marcus Esmay (user Klinefan). anonymously blogging against Coleen, I've discovered some interesting facts:

Fact 1: When you call the Kline Congressional campaign office and ask for Marcus, they offer to put you through to his voice mail.

Fact 2: When you call Kline's Congressional District office (same building) and ask for Marcus, they also offer to put you through to his voice mail.

Does Marcus work for both offices?...Must get confusing keeping his official state duties separate from his anonymous blogging duties...or does he? Does he clock out of one office and walk over to the other and clock in there? How is his payroll being kept separate...or is it? What else has Marcus been doing and has it been on the taxpayers dime?

Kline's office is aware of his staff anonymously blogging...so what is his response? If not Marcus, then who was blogging? Kline? Hello, anybody there?

PS. Picture of Kline and Delay. Kline still has $30,000.00 in tainted money from Delay's PAC. Wonder when (if) he's giving it back ?

Kline Campaign Caught Anonymously Posting

Kline, or a mini-kline campaign worker with the user name klinefan, was caught redhanded posting anonymously at Dump John Kline's blog. So was the mini-kline a volunteer or a paid staffer? Did Kline pay him by the line or the posting? Does Kline approve of anonymous attacks...well..er...since it was a staffer from his office we can only assume the answer is yes.

Time to throw this bum out of office. Vote Coleen Rowley for a change.

The Big Mark Kennedy Lie

In his new ad campaign Mark Kennedy tells us to sit back and learn a few things "About Mark".
So I did and here is what I learned:

Mark has no shame about lying to Minnesotans telling them, he's 'independent' of any one 'party' or 'person' in Washington. To believe what he tells us several times during his ad, you would have to forgot what he's done during his career in the House. No amount of saying one thing but doing another changes the facts.

Mark Kennedy has proven himself to be one of Bu$h's lapdogs by lifelong voting record that supports Bu$h 95% of the time.

So why the big Mark Kennedy lie about being independent? According to the Washington Post: No modern political party has weathered a midterm election with a president as low in the polls as George W. Bush. With polling that low, Kennedy is trying to distance himself from his record. Is it too late for Mark Kennedy to re-invent himself? You betcha!




MN Nice Unless You're Keith Ellison

I've been reading daily articles in the strib for weeks that attacking Keith Ellison for his parking tickets et al - And I've been told it's not based on his race or religion. So the question I pose is this...

Why has the strib for weeks on end examined every administrative infraction of Ellison's but failed to equally cover Ember Reichgott Junge's falsely claiming that she has DFL party's support? Where's the same zealous overboard reporting? Hmmm...what could be the reasons for this difference?

His Day's R Numbered

If you follow Kabbal there are signs and omens in every number. While I'm not a Kabbalist, I've always found numbers interesting and think the following spell out trouble...

1, Bush’s veto total (just last week)

3.04, The soaring gas price per gallon. Way up and doubled since Bu$h took office.

7 seconds, Bu$h attention span if it doesn’t include violent military action or sagebrush.

19 minutes…Defines most parenting as just another fast food like concept! I'd like to see a comparison to the time Bu$h spends vacationing while in office.

$78.40, The cost of a barrel of oil. When Bu$h took office it was under $25.

100 – 150 per day, The war crime of the deaths of civilians in Iraq for last two months.

400,000 embryos languishing in storage tanks at fortility clinics in the US.
- 28 is the number of pregnancies that will result from these embryos.
- 0 is the number of embryos that Bush will allow for scientific research.
- 399,872 is the number that will be eventually thrown away by Bush's policy of life.

50 Million, What Elvis (yes even dead!) still earns a year. Not sure Bu$h can take credit for this but I'm sure he'll try. Must be nice to use airforce one to get to graceland, and then have a private tour.

1.2 Trillion, Cost of the Iraq war.

2 Trillion, New Updated Cost of the war.

US Diplomacy With Rice-a-roni

Between travel and the mother of all head colds I haven't posted for a few days…now it seems all there is to post is terrible ugly bad news covering health, weather, natural disasters, declining morality and corrupt spirituality. Christians say jesus warned them that the degradation of society would happen in the end days. I just always though they looked at the glass half empty…now I’m not so sure...

Out on the planet:
In an attempt to run with the big dogs, the unstable and half-wild country of Pakistan is expanding their nuclear program while the ever angelic Condozilla Rice-A- Roni surprised Lebanese Prime Minister Fuad Saniora in Beirut with a visit this morning in an effort to push along the rapture,
"Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, embarking on a diplomatic mission to the troubled Middle East, said she would work for "stability and lasting peace" instead of the immediate cease-fire demanded by much of the rest of the world."AP
Is it just me or does it sound like Rice-a-roni is a Miss America contestant by her answers? Naturally since the USA under Bu$hCo is soooo diplomatic, we're rushing a delivery of precision-guided missiles to Israel. Ah. I love the smell of WW3 in the morning…

In ‘up is down’ verbiage, Tony Snow was on the Today Show and said that "Nobody Has Been More Diplomatically Active Than We Have" this would be a good time for Missy Rice to take an immediate cease fire off the table…er…wait…she has! Got to admire their faith in the ‘here after’. Just wish they would pick a way to go that leaves the rest of us.

Naturally it goes without say that ww3 and the end is near. I could go on about Korea, Iran, Iraq, Somalia,,,but what's the point. Depressed yet? Had enough?

...Meanwhile back on the ranch
Bu$h is told to lawyer up. I imagine it was only a matter of time...

Oh when Bu$h stumped NAACP to repeal the estate tax but didn’t mention the word poverty …well, I guess he just didn’t know that African-Americans are more than a thousand times as likely to live below the poverty line as they are to be rich enough to leave a taxable estate.

Bu$h also used his veto powers for the first time. Seems like evil never sleeps.

Not Taking It To The Matt

Can't say I'm real surprised that Matt Entenza has dropped out of the race for Attorney General. Unless you have a compelling reason to continue as the 'it' in dodge ball, well let's just say, he's probably a lot more relaxed today compared to earlier this week.
This decision will not change my desire to fight on behalf of the people of this wonderful state. This decision is the best thing for Minnesota and the best thing for Democrats. Thank you.

Coleen Rowley On Blue America

Wow! Once again, Coleen Rowley nails Kline sorry ass for his total lack of values. Among some of the things that come out: Kline has considerable personal stock holdings in Pfizer — the disclosure forms say it’s between $1,000 and $15,000. And that doesn’t include nearly $100,000 in campaign contributions from Big Pharma. No wonder he so strongly supported the provision of Medicare Part D barring Medicare from negotiating lower prices from drug companies. THere's plenty more so surf on over:
Today we had Coleen Rowley as our live guest on the Blue America series at Firedoglake. We do this online meet-up with a candidate every Saturday at 11 AM(PST/2 PM East Coast). Coleen is an exceptional woman and an exceptional candidate and she's running against the most far right extremist in the Minnesota congressional delegation (and in a decidedly moderate district). If you're not familiar with her and her candidacy, you might enjoy going to the archives of today's Q&A and reading what she had to say.

Did Someone Say Coleen Rowley Drinks Liberally?

For the first time, I attended the local Drinking Liberally group last night. Something always interfers with going but since Coleen Rowley was going to be there, I decided it was time to see what it was all about.

I surprised at how warm a reception the group gave. This is one big group of activist, bloggers and philosophers. I will definately make the time to attend in the future. Besides, the beer was great.

Coleen Rowley won over several local bloggers last night...

The cucking Stool

"So Spotty says all you Democrats, progressives, environmentalists, and true supporters of our military, go over to her site and contribute some money to Coleen Rowley."


Across the Great Divide


"But perhaps most important of all, she is the person who can enumerate every single one of her opponent's failings and dangerous leanings, and when challenged why she doesn't go after Kline even harder, she quotes Martin Luther King about hating the sin, but not hating the sinner.

And you actually believe this came from the heart"

Coleen speaks the truth so quietly powerful that every day her ranks are growing, but like all campaigns, money is needed to win...take the time to donate to the Agent for Change in CD2.

We're All Mad Here

Quick Quiz: Bu$h or Alice?
"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?”
___
The Senate Judiciary Committee heard testimony from Steven Bradbury, head of the Justice Department’s office of legal counsel. When questioned on whether the Preznut’s interpretation of the Hamdan case was right or wrong, Bradbury replied,
“The President is always right.”

Bu$hCo's whole infallability thing is more than a little creepy. It reminds me of cult like behavior. That's the thing - they've really blurred the distintion between 'reality' and their fantasy lies, presenting a mixture of both as 'facts'. Maybe this is the start of a papal presidency like government starring the infallable Pope Bu$h aka white rabbit.

Think of it, the Preznut is responsible for administration and leadership that is (or use to be) limited by both the Constitution (as defined by the Courts) and the Congress. He doesn't have the power of the purse strings, he can't make laws, and he can't substitute his judgement for that of the courts in matters of law or criminality.

But you wouldn’t know that from the behavior of Bu$hCo, the media, and his cult-like brainless followers. He's seems to have been ordained...I guess I missed it but I hope to attend the tea party.


Don't Miss This!

At about 1:10 PM this coming Saturday, Coleen will be a guest at Howie Klein's Blue America show (a live, interactive chat session). It will take place at FireDogLake.

Howie also recently posted on Amy Klobuchar on his California blog Down with Tyranny Coleen Rowley has been featured on his blog several times over the last year.

The Voices Are Getting Louder

That would be the 'GOP lead' Congress that's failed Americans:

"There are not too many issues that would give common cause to Thomas Foley and Newt Gingrich. Yet there they were, sitting next to each other yesterday: the last Democratic speaker of the House and the man who ousted him to become the first Republican speaker of the House in half a century."

And they were in perfect harmony as they kicked around the notion of "How Congress Is Failing America."

For Whom The Bell Rings

Most of the things Ford Bell believes in reasonated with me...even the way he called an end to his campaign....

I will be supporting my opponent Amy Klobuchar in November, and I ask my supporters to do the same. The differences within our Party are important, but the differences between Mark Kennedy, George Bush and the needs of America are much greater.

I have spent my life in service to my community, my state and my country. I will continue to do so. I believe in what the great American Muhammad Ali once said: “The service you do for others is the rent you pay for the time you spend on earth.”

This campaign may end today, but what we believe in goes on, and we will all continue to cherish and work for our beliefs.

Stop Drinking The Kool-Aid

Even the conservatives recognize the ship is going down...

“North Korea is firing missiles. Iran is going nuclear. Somalia is controlled by radical Islamists. Iraq isn't getting better, and Afghanistan is getting worse," William Kristol, editor of the Weekly Standard and conservative commentator.

Add to it Islamic militants from Kashmire, India, and thier unstable military neighbor Pakistan. It's all gone to hell.

Mark Kennedy Supports Genocide

Mark Kennedy's website has a statement from regarding the United Nations deploring Isreal's use of military in the West Bank and Gaza for breaking humanitarian law. Per Mark...
..."This is truly a sad day for the U.N. and for those of us who genuinely care about promoting respect for human rights and religious freedom."
In short, Kennedy is saying that Isreal has the freedom and right to genocide. But does any country have the right to inflict the following on civilians...women and children? How does this bring peace or justice to Isreal or the Palestinians. As a Jew, I deplore the wanton death and targeting of resources that are needed by civilians. They are caught in the middle of this endless war. Neither Isreal or Palestine will see peace without recognizing their common humanity. There's a difference from self protection to what is really happening:

"But this time, the situation is worse than that. As food in the refrigerators spoils, the only remaining food is grains. Most people cook with gas, but with the borders sealed, soon there will be no gas. When family-kitchen propane tanks run out, there will be no cooking. No cooked lentils or beans, no humus, no bread ­ the staples Palestinian foods, the only food for the poor. (And there is no firewood or coal in dry, overcrowded Gaza.)"And yet, even all this misery is overshadowed by a grimmer fact: no water. Gaza's public water supply is pumped by electricity. The taps, too, are dry. No sewage system. And again, word is that the electricity is out for at least six months."

"The Gaza aquifer is already contaminated with sea water and sewage, due to over pumping (partly by those now-abandoned Israeli settlements) and the grossly inadequate sewage system. To be drinkable, well water is purified through machinery run by electricity. Otherwise, the brackish water must at least be boiled before it can be consumed, but this requires electricity or gas. And people will soon have neither."Drinking unpurified water means sickness, even cholera. If cholera breaks out, it will spread like wildfire in a population so densely packed and lacking fuel or water for sanitation. And the hospitals and clinics aren't functioning, either, because there is no electricity."

"Finally, people can't leave. None of the neighboring countries have resources to absorb a million desperate and impoverished refugees: logistically and politically, the flood would entirely destabilize Egypt, for example. But Palestinians in Gaza can't seek sanctuary with their relatives in the West Bank, either, because they can't get out of Gaza to get there. They can't even go over the border into Egypt and around through Jordan, because Israel will no longer allow people with Gaza identification cards to enter the West Bank. In any case, a cordon of Palestinian police are blocking people from trying to scramble over the Egyptian border--and war refugees have tried, through a hole blown open by militants, clutching packages and children."

"In short, over a million civilians are now trapped, hunkered in their homes listening to Israeli shells, while facing the awful prospect, within days or weeks, of having to give toxic water to their children that may consign them to quick but agonizing deaths."

"The astonishing scale of this humanitarian situation is indeed matched only by the deafening drizzle of international reaction."

Mark Kennedy Is Mean, Rude, Offensive and Thoughtless.

I witness Mark Kennedy’s complete lack of 'Minnesota Nice' this weekend when he told a parade marcher that came up to him in Lakeville:
“That’s what’s wrong with Democrats. They all lie, all of the time.”

Number one, He said this in public at a parade around kids. What kind of role model is that to say something so inflammatory and polarizing around youth? Think of the hurt if the kids have Democratic parents? Hell, I was hurt and I'm not a kid!

Number two, How can voters/taxpayers expect Kennedy to work toward any bi-partisan legislation given his attitude and what he's says?…Obviously Mark Kennedy won’t work with all elected officials to help all Minnesotans.

Number three, His 'over-the-top statement' that slanders so many shows a complete lack of professionalism, discipline and ethics. Yes there’s probably some democrats that lie, just as some republican’ts lie, but not all of ‘em, all of the time, not even him!

Number four, His website today has this quote:

"This is truly a sad day for the U.N. and for those of us who genuinely care about promoting respect for human rights and religious freedom."

How can Kennedy respect human rights of another country when he doesn't respect the rights of all Minnesotans? Is that even possible givcn the level of intolerance he has to half of all Minnesotans? He's asking to be elected to a position where he's suppose to represent all Minnesotans...By his behavior this weekend Kennedy is mean, rude, offensive and thoughtless. But most of all, Kennedy showed he's not capable of representing Minnesota.

Ellsion Gets More Wedgies

Ellison's parking tickets?
Give me a break....
What's next from MDE,
an expose on the tearing off of mattress tags?

Would any of this be news if...
Ellison wasn't black or muslim?
What's that you say?
I can't hear you over the wedge issues!

It's Just Old Glory

Why is everyone so upset about desecration? When was the last time you actually at a flag-burning or saw one being burned? Don't we have some really important issues that actually affect us like affordable healthcare, war, the deficit...Even Dubya has desecrated a flag or two (see photo)

According to David Corn, Senator Orrin Hatch, the Utah Republican and lead sponsor of the constitutional amendment banning flag desecration, this issue is a burning one (pun intended!). His response:
"It is a vital matter. Why? Because it was necessary to "send a message" to the Supreme Court. And what's the message? "You cannot usurp the power of the Congress of the United States."

I see. This is not really about safeguarding the Stars and Stripes. This is a spite match. Congress several years ago passed legislation to ban flag burning. The Supreme Court ruled, you can't do that (because that would infringe on free speech rights). So now Congress had to strike back.

So Hatch is saying.,..it personal.. But if that's true, then why does Congress (and Hatch) not seek to pass a constitutional amendment every time the Court overturns a law? The GOP effort to win congressional approval of this proposed constitutional amendment--months before an election-seems related to issues other than ensuring the right checks and balances. Care to guess what they are?"

Actions Speak Louder Than Words

The President and Republican controlled Congress wants you to think that they're more effective in fighting terrorism and protecting our country than a Democratic controlled Congress could... Well their actions are speaking louder than their words!

Their Words:

"I will not yield; I will not rest; I will not relent in waging this struggle for freedom and security for the American people" President Bush - September 20, 2001

"It's not a matter of if they're captured and brought to justice, it's when they're brought to justice," Bush said.

Asked about the search for bin Laden, the mastermind of the Sept. 11 terror attacks in the United States, and of the president's long-ago call for getting him "dead or alive," Bush said the search for bin Laden and his associates continues.

The search is underway for those who are behind these evil acts. I've directed the full resources of our intelligence and law enforcement communities to find those responsible and to bring them to justice. Presiden Bush - September 11, 2001

Their Actions:

A CIA unit that had hunted for Osama bin Laden and his top deputies for a decade has been disbanded


Are you as outraged about this news as I am?
Let your OUTRAGE be heard through your ACTIONS this November!!!

Are You A Patriot?

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty, to ourselves and Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Policies of Dumb and Dumber

Oh sure that's Texas, but here in Minnesota, I have a friend who brought ten acres in Farmington to build a home. She doesn't farm, has no equipment and no plans to farm, isn't a farmer, has never farmed... imagine her surprise when she got a check for several hundred dollars at the end of the year for not farming. Wonder why my check got delayed?

The Democrats Are Coming...

We're coming into our own for a number of reasons and might even be hosting in 2008! A lot of the credit goes to this guy and his Minnesota supporters like Brian Melendez who have established specific goals with clear messaging:
"The DFL Party will be the party that speaks out for the middle class. We will build an organized, inclusive party of the people that will lay out a positive agenda based on accountability, opportunity and fair play," declared Melendez.
