Since we’ve got Timmy... "Since we got Timmy Taxcut, we've got fewer police, (and surprise! more crime.) We've got Minneapolis libraries that are only open 3 days per week, and we've got a transportation system that is costing us millions in lost productivity and fuel waste. But at least we can take the time we're sitting dead on the freeways to count our tax savings." This is one mess Lassie can’t help Timmy get out of. Hat tip to Read Menace PS: If you see Lassie ask him to come home, we've a new kid on the block!!

...Maybe if we saw more 'reality' out of Iraq and less spin, this war would end a lot sooner. This is what "BJ Hunnicutt" had to say about the Bagdad ER. I saw "Baghdad ER" on HBO last night (Sunday, May 21). I'd heard that the Defense Dept. had issued warnings urging servicemen and women back from Iraq to be wary of watching as it might trigger PTSD symptoms. Perhaps they hoped those about to go wouldn't watch as well, for fear they might not show up. "Baghdad ER" is a documentary about a "CASH," a Combat Support Hospital in Baghdad. I recommend it for every American, but the queasy be warned: it is excruciating. I cringed at the gore, was sickened by the death, wept at the frustration and resignation of the medics, at the faith of the chaplain, at the simple, shocked, blank expressions on the faces of kids younger than my son – victims of this fool's war. Listening to the bravado of some, aching to comfort those who came in ...

Vice President Dick Cheney was in town fund raising for local republican candidate Michele Bachmann better known as an obstructionist chalkful of ideological bombs. In other words she's all Minnesota wingbat with no Minnesota's values. MnPublius blogged : "One of her arguments is that the traditional family is under attack. I wonder, what does she think of Vice-President Cheney's family? She'll gladly keep her mouth shut, I imagine, as long as he brings in $250/head." So what is it? Cheney has openly supported Mary , his gay daughter. Is that acceptable behavior to Bachman? As long as she rolls in the $$$ to hell with her 'family' values ! Are her values and beliefs only as deep as her campaign fund? And what about Cheney? Does he really want to fund raise for Minnesota's anti-gay icon? Talk about an unholy alliance! Is there nothing these folks won't do for the 'cause' and to stay empowered? And since were asking questions, who pay...

Minnesota's Auditor Pat Anderson must surely be suffering from number fatigue given the $12 million in errors posted in reports on her website and now claiming to be twenty positions lower than her assigned start in the Farmington Parade lineup! It would seem that Pat Anderson was not happy with her late entry number and was telling organizers she was number 43 instead of 68. She insisted they had made a mistake and needed to move her group up in the parade line up. Unfortunatedly Pat Anderson remained at her higher assigned position when organizers told her that she would have to provide proof. (Anderson claimed she had a written notice from them giving her a lower number but failed to produce it). According to one organizer, every year they can count on Anerson to complain about something and demand 'special' treatment. So, how hard could it be to track your parade line up number especially if you're Minnesota's State Auditor? Is this just one more sign that bein...

Two years ago the Koposia Day parade in South Saint Paul was a little disheartening. There were hecklers that chanted B U $ H, BU$H, BU$H...while hurling insults as we walked with other Democrats. There was one display of open encouragement for us as I remember it. Most of the time the crowd was subdued and silent. Although Democrats won all three MN seats in the Senate District. there was no doubt about the loud subgroup of republican'ts within the senate district. Koposia Days wasn't a parade for the faint of heart Democrat. So imagine my surprise at the positive greeting Democrats got last Friday night at the same South Saint Paul Kaposia Day Parade. In a display of Democratic unity, Betty McCollum, Jim Metzen, Joe Atkins, Rick Hansen, Katie Siebens, and Karla Bigham marched together as one Democratic Delegation. The parade attendees openly cheered, yelled and clapped in support. They shouted out encouragement and greetings as our group passed by. Many of the watching adults...

All the signs are there...if you just read them... Have a safe and wonderful weekend. Try not to squint when you read. And remember, idiots are everywhere! The War in Iraq It’s simple: Democrats are for a new direction with a road map and a plan... Republicants are for more of the same

This article was written by a friend of mine Isaac Peterson. While long, I thought it contained lots of insight into the character and passion of Keith Ellison and therefore well worth the read. Minneapolis’ Northside state rep riffs on his run for Congress If State Representative Keith Ellison’s current bid to replace outgoing Martin Sabo in the U.S. House of Representatives is successful, it would make him the first African American to represent Minnesota in Congress, as well as the first Muslim from any state. Ellison, a North Minneapolis attorney and member of Minnesota’s House of Representatives, emerged as the front-runner in a crowded field of candidates to cinch the DFL endorsement in May. Ellison still must win the DFL primary in September, where he will face challengers Ember Reichgott Junge, Paul Ostrow and Mike Erlandson. In the Minnesota legislature, Ellison established for himself a reputation as a formidable orator and a passionate advocate for the causes he championed. ...

What a lovely first day of summer. Children are dying, Mothers are crying, Shell Oil is buying, Troll-shit is flying, Mother Mary is sighing, and I keep on trying,and trying, and trying not to lose hope. -Poem from kablooie at BlondeSense The summer solstice is the day of the year with the longest daylight period and hence the shortest night. Metaphorically that should mark the end of the dark evil reign of Bu$h...More babblegook here .

The 'Coalition of the Willing' (which wasn't all that big to begin with) has really been shrinking as of late. The lastest to annouce exit plans from the coalition is Japan and Italy. For those keeping score, the United States deploys the vast majority of the soldiers in the occupying coalition with the majority of other troops coming from the United Kingdom . The United Kingdom will probably continue to follow Bu$hCo's folly through the Iraq quagmire and right over a cliff. In fact by all accounts we may be 'free falling' right now given today's events in Iraq: Hussein Defense Lawyer Kidnapped, Killed U.S. to charge troops in death of Iraqi Kin learned of soldier's death from TV 100 Iraqi govt employees kidnapped at gunpoint in Baghdad Today! Iraqi Troops Killed 2 U.S. Soldiers Japan and soon to be former coalition member Italy... will have plenty of company with former coalition members: Bulgaria, Ukraine, Nicaragua, Spain, Honduras, Norway, Domin...

That Kerry Guy On Iraq: My plan is not "cut and run." Their plan is "lie and die." According to NYTimes : Kerry has pissed off some Demos because he wants specifics regarding a time table for withdrawing troops. Imagine that, wanting a specific plan during a major operation or a war.

Expect stuff like this to continue because the Bush Administration's budget significantly cuts grants for our nation's first responders-police, firefighters, and emergency medical personnel. While Governor Pawlenty plays a blame game , let there be no mistake about who is to blame...Minnesota's First Responder Formula grants are underfunded by the current administration a whopping: $16,572,418 . Is there any wonder Homeland Security Report Releases US Still Unprepared for Major Emergency...

Next week, June 26-28, Minneapolis/St. Paul will play host to delegates from the Democratic National Committee Technical Advisory Committee . The delegates will help in determining if Minneapolis/St. Paul will host the National Democratic National Convention in 2008. Among the other cities looking to play hosts is: New Orleans, a sentimental favorite, Denver. a strong contender as well as New York. AP says "While they're here, they'll be treated to a $20,000 reception at the Walker Art Center. They'll also find $500 worth of flowers in their hotel rooms and they'll each go home with gift bags valued at $200, according to documents obtained by the Star Tribune. The Twin Cities are finalists to host the GOP or Democratic national conventions. Democrats will be in town June 25-28, and Republicans will scout out the area in August"

Well, the Iraq “victory” didn’t last long. Dump John Kline tells us about a sensitive cable from the US Embassy that “…outlines in spare prose the daily-worsening conditions for those who live outside the heavily guarded international zone: harassment, threats and the employees' constant fears that their neighbors will discover they work for the U.S. government.” Maybe Bu$h will go back and stay longer than 5 hours....but then again, there's a war going on. He'll just have to send his lapdog John Kline, who as DJK points out, is a good soldier and war cheerleader but not a very good independent leader for the folks in Minnesota's second congressional district...but then I already knew that.

Bu$hCo's Lies : "As a nation that values immigration and depends on immigration, we should have immigration laws that work and make us proud ," Bu$h said. "Yet, today, we do not." The Facts : ..."Between 1999 and 2003, worksite enforcement operations were scaled back 95 percent by the Immigration and Naturalization Service, which has been merged into the Homeland Security Department." The number of employers prosecuted for unlawfully employing immigrants dropped from 182 to four , and fines collected declined from $3.6 million to $212,000, according to federal statistics. If you don't enforce the laws you have, how do you know they don't work?

This has got to end. "This is the end Beautiful friend This is the end My only friend, the end Of our elaborate plans, the end Of everything that stands, the end No safety or surprise, the end Ill never look into your eyes...again Can you picture what will be So limitless and free Desperately in need...of some...strangers hand In a...desperate land Lost in a roman...wilderness of pain And all the children are insane All the children are insane" The End

I took a walk today in the Cottage Grove Parade with a couple of great Democratic candidates...and it wasn't until someone mentioned it that I realized they were all women! Yes, five endorsed DFLers... and all are women! This is one time when the capital 'W" stands for WOMEN. Ironically W probably was a motativing force behind their decisions to become involved in politics. I encourage everyone to visit their websites and if you can give money! We will win with women (five 'W's!) Karla Bigham , (MN Rep candidate SD57A) Eileen Weber , (MN Rep candidate SD57B) Katie Sieben , (Current MN Rep & MN Sen candidate SD57) Coleen Rowley , (CD2 Congressional candidate) Amy Klobuchar , (US Senate candidate)

Delayed since 2001, it looks like there will be at least one more year delay to repairs scheduled to Hwy 62 (Crossroad Commons) because of Governor Pawlenty. The repair is estimated to cost 250 million dollars but Pawlenty wanted contractors to 'put up' front money of 96 million that the state would pay back to them later. Really I guess that's a sweet deal for the state, that is, if you can find a contractor...er sucker...willing to underwrite half the cost of the project. Problem is: not one contractor was willing. Not a single road contractor bid for the 250 million dollars contract for Hwy 62 .. Maybe it's time to rename all of Minnesota's potholed and congested highways "Pawlenty's follies". Unfortunately Minnesota now has so many roads like this, if we named them all, we would just drive around in circles...er..that is when we can move around. Most times we'd be sitting in our cars, waiting and buring up gas while cursing another shortsighte...

It seems like just last week it was Friday! Deja Vu..Enjoy... Deja Vue America: It's official America is now a police state. And in case you had doubts ... Deja Vu Conventions: Our DFL Convention: Packed and up to our necks in Democracy,,,1225 delegates on Friday! even the greenies and meanies dropped in for visits... Their (Republican'ts) Convention: No one showed up... True story, a young DFL college leader I know has a grandma who's a life long rethug. She stopped driving last year due to her health. My friend was afraid he would have to drive granny because she was a delegate to the rethug convention. When he mentioned it to grandma, she said "Heaven's no, I don't need to go! They've already done everything anyway" So much for inclusiveness and team work. No wonder the place is empty. Deja Vu Iraq ''Terrorists can strike and can kill without warning before the forces of order can throw them back. And now he has struck again. At this very ...

Republican Majority Leader Boehner is a creep. Think Progress posted up a memo that takes a look at how his mind works......here's the summary of what it's says: 1. Exploit 9/11. The two page memo mentions 9/11 seven times. It describes debating Iraq in the context of 9/11 as an imperative. 2. Attack opponents ad hominem. The memo describes those who opposes President Bu$h's policies in Iraq as sheepish, weak, and prone to waver endlessly. 3. Create a false choice . The memo says the decision is between supporting Preznut Bu$hCo's policies and hoping terrorist threats will fade away. Here's my reply to Boehner Dear Mr. Bu$hiter Boehner, Here's some help defining rethugs: 1. Traitors that don't look out for or set policies in the interests and welfare of all Americans or uphold our constitution. 2. War Profiteers and Halliburton shills that make money off of their policies including the war in Iraq. 3. Murderers for not following up on pre 911 warnings,...

Per the Pentagon: American deaths since the invasion of Iraq have reached 2,500. Tens of thousands of Iraqis have been killed. 18,490 US troops have been wounded in the war. Meanwhile, Bush tries to devert attention away from the facts.

I was right about Bu$hCo's latest Iraq speech .

Here's his speech: Blah, blah blah, today is a new day . Blah, turned the corner for freedom . Blah a new start toward an independent government . Blah, blah, blah, freedom. Blah a historical turning point in the war against terrorism blah freedom. Blah, milestone blah, blah Iraq’s recovery blah freedom. Freedom isn't free . Blah, blah... Okay I confess I didn’t actually see Bush, but I bet I got it really close to what the idiot said..er..lied about. Need a refresher on the real speech..er..lies Bu$h has told about Iraq: Bush’s Claim "Our intelligence officials estimate that Saddam Hussein had the materials to produce as much as 500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent.” State of the Union Address – 1/28/2003 Iraq has 500 tons of chemical weapons: - Sarin gas - Mustard gas - VX Nerve agent Not True Zero Chemical Weapons FoundNot a drop of any chemical weapons has been found anywhere in Iraq Bush’s Claim “U.S. intelligence indicates that Saddam Hussein had upwards ...

Jamie Raskin, professor of law at AU, after testifying in March 2006 was asked By Republican't Senator Nancy Jacobs "Mr. Raskin, my Bible says marriage is only between a man and a woman. What do you have to say about that?" Raskin replied: "Senator, when you took your oath of office, you placed your hand on the Bible and swore to uphold the Constitution. You did not place your hand on the Constitution and swear to uphold the Bible." amen

The Bu$hCo administration is moving toward Iran. Getting physically closer everyday. This briefing paper Iran: Consequences of War provides a comprehensive analysis of the likely nature of US or Israeli military action that would be intended to disable Iran’s nuclear capabilities. It outlines both the consequences in terms of loss of human life, facilities and infrastructure, but also the likely Iranian extensive responses. Don't believe the U.S. is headed that way? Then how do you explain: Immediately to the west of Iran, the United States is building permanent military bases. . . To the east, Iran sees the United States firmly ensconced in Afghanistan, with two permanent bases now established at Bagram near Kabul and at Kandahar . . . Moreover, a large new military base is being developed near the western Afghan city of Herat, close to Iran’s eastern border with that country. Finally, the United States has developed close military links and, in some cases, basing facilities in ...

Zarqawi's Death ... Not in my name "It doesn't bring me relief because it doesn't bring my son back. We could prevent the suffering of far more families if we would impeach George Bush today and end this war today...Any loss of human life is a loss for all of us...In Zarqawi's case, it's a double loss. Not only was he a human being who has parents who are suffering in the same way that my family and I have suffered, he's also a political figure, and his death is going to reignite the next wave of revenge - revenge that Zarqawi participated in, revenge that George Bush participates in, revenge that goes back to prehistoric times. It never solves anything."- Michael Berg, father of contrctor Nicholas Berg, who was beheaded in Iraq. It is believed that Berg was killed by Zarqawi's hand (USA Today) So 'Zarqawi' is finally dead. Zarqawi is killed but Iraqis aren't celebrating in the streets- worries over electricity, water, death squads, tes...

U.S. Diplomacy isn't working and I know the reason why: The Bush administration stared down a new wave of international condemnation of Guantànamo yesterday, dismissing the suicides by three inmates of the prison camp as a " good PR move " on their part and an " act of asymmetrical warfare ", or that's what Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy, Coleen Graffy had to say.

Okay so my battery ran out in ballot #7 yesterday...which is just a well, so here the summary with one or two observations... First, In my opinion every single candidate (minus the of the floor Amy K. opponents) were above average and capable of performing in the positions they ran for. In many cases the only differences was style and type of experiences. This bodes well for the DFL. It means that the caliber of leadership and thier experiences will only get better in the next couple of years. Those who didn't get endorsed this time, will run for other positions in the future. It also means that our party is now positioned to provide the leaders for the future of Minnesota. The convention definitely was a Win-Win for all the delegates looking for quality candidates that understand Minnesota's needs for representation that will use our values. In regards to those who won: Hatch won on the voter base of union. About 35% of his base was union. They were there to vote Hatch and so...

5:20 Pm 6th Ballot 1296.5 60% 778 Hatch 665 for 51.3% Kelley 606.5 for 46.8 no endorsement 24 for 1.9 Still looking like a long time... I have a headache from all the shouting.. The floor looks like a rolling sea of moving signs full of loudly shouting folks. Hatch has the loudest group that's for sure.

Well we're at the flash poin...5th ballot. 1209 votes 60% would be 779 Hatch 646.5 for 49.8% Kelley 609 for 46.9% no endorse 42.9 So It looks like most went to Kelley and no endorse,,,or they went home and their alternates voted Kelley.... Folks we have a dead heat race going on... Next ballot will tell us if we're going to be here awhile.

3:30 PM On the 4th ballot Becky Lourey was dropped off. She indicated that she would see everyone in September. I take that to mean she'll be running in the primary without endorsement. The count for the 4 ballot: total 1394.5 60% would be 777 votes Hatch 580.5 for 44.8% Kelley 429 for 33.1% Lourey 282.5 for 21.8 (dropped because she's not at 25%) so the question will be where will Becky's people go. Will they go to Hatch, Kelley, or home? I predict that 60% go to Kelley...the rest to hatch although I bet at least 10 to 20% go home. Stay tune...

Looks to be a long day based on the first ballot. Hatch 39.4% Kelley 29.4% Lourey 31% Voting my hopes and dreams I'd like to see Lourey but this one is up in the air for now...just to close to tell.

No big surprise. Amy Klobachar received the endorsement for US Senate. There was two challengers but between them they drew less than 1% of the votes. They did manage to get 24% to uncommitted to show disapproval of Amy's position regarding her lukewarm stance on withdrawal of troops in Iraq and also her insistances that nukes are an option she wouldn't rule out. While I personally want a stronger candidate on these issues. Combined with all her other assets and positions Amy makes a compelling candidate and one that will surely be better than Kennedy. I'm disapointed in the direction the peace first folks took in trying to promote an issue by hurting a Democratic candidate. Surely even they are aware that Amy will be better than the rethug option. And while I kept hearing we have to send a message...how about this...let send a POSITIVE message. One full of our hopes and dreams and beliefs and thoughts without cheap positioning on top of individuals. Additionally, they spen...

As Jon Stewart pointed out last night, "the last time Bu$h resurrected any support for the Marriage Amendment was two years ago (before the last elections)." So the fact that we're seeing it now has nothing to do with chance or marriage and everything to do with elections. With Republicans facing a tough uphill run to maintain their seats amid growing scandals and corruption charges, Bu$h brings out the 2000 pound elephant called 'the Marriage Protection' amendment. But instead of taking it directly on, Democrats have argued against it on procedural grounds, leaving Republicans on their moral high horse er elephant. But yesterday, on the Senate floor, Senator Russ Feingold , began by framing the issue for what it is: "This is pure politics, an election year gambit. Mr. President, we should not play politics with the Constitution. Nor should we play politics with the lives of gay and lesbian Americans who correctly see this constitutional amendment as an effor...

So it's late afternoon under a beautiful Minnesota sky and I'm still standing...unmarked on the 6 day of the 6 month in the 6 year of 2000... I'm not saying it couldn't happen, but it just hasn't... not as of yet. Sure there's some signs, omens if you will, like Bu$h announcing yesterday a federal amendment to take civil rights away from gays and of course there's more and more iraq war crimes by US 'liberators' coming to light. But other than a Tektronic printer spewing out numeric code in an apparant attempt to communicate, I haven't seen any blights, locust, avenging angels, salesmen or horsemen. I have seen the IT guys but they're trying to discern what my printer is doing. As this is 666 ( 06/06/06 ) some are worried that prophecy theorists ( Republican'ts Christians ) or hate groups (the remaining koolaid drinking Republican'ts ) might read something ominous into the date and use it as an excuse to stir tension. Or as said in...

Well, since all the real problems like proverty, childcare, education funding, affordable transportation and infrastructure, healthcare, taxation, enviromental, gas prices and war have been addressed, the Senate will vote to enshrine homophobia into the US Constitution. President Bush says “Our policies should aim to strengthen families, not undermine them. And changing the definition of marriage would undermine the family structure. Marriage is the most fundamental institution of civilization, and it should not be redefined by activist judges,” So, my question is this: When can we expect the state and federal authorities to start enforce the law already in place regarding marriage ? Or, is this just more fluffy hotair to go with the already in place immigration laws that aren’t enforceable as is and don't adequately deal with the problem? Mybe we can fence in all those un-gay marriages? To become law, the proposal would need two-thirds support in the Senate and House, and then be ...

I feel compelled to post my personal endorsement of Mark Rithcie for Secretary of State . He is the one candidate I feel most passionately for this year, and I believe that he will make a great SoS. His broad experience and clear understanding of voting rights is what we need in that office, and he will be a solid candidate to win in November. His fantastic fundraising abilities, and his in-depth knowledge of many issues, plus his inspirational spirit will help the entire DFL ticket. Please join me in supporting him for SoS. There is an in-depth discussion going on right now at Minnesota Campaign Report . Check it out!

Before Bill became President, Hillary Clinton had become an accomplished attorney and was widely known in Democratic policymaking circles as a successful children's advocate. She was also a Yale-trained lawyer who had made partner in one of Arkansas most prestigious law firms. By all accounts, Hillary was a self made women. Now, there's loads of speculation she'll be running for President which has brought out the yea and nay sayers... "The truth... ...Is that Hillary Clinton is not very interesting. She doesn't lead. She doesn't address real problems that people are facing. She preens and self-righteously moralizes about the flag and how kids are lazy and play violent video games. She passes some reasonable legislation, like the minimum wage increase, and works on good things like net neutrality. But there's nothing particularly interesting, considering that her last name is Clinton." Matt at MyDD I'm adding my nay to the growing list...but surp...

It's beautiful out, enjoy the weekend... Just one more reason why Democrats are the party open to all. And along the same line...let's start using "Republican'ts" . Okay I still like rethugs but maybe ...for sure...it's time for a change ! Is it just me or does music speak to both beauty and beast ? RFK Jr.'s post-mortem of the '04 election fraud in Ohio is a must read...Not because you'll feel any better, but because it will give some closure. You'll still be angry, upset and spiting mad but hey, that been the last six years. "Ohio was as dirty an election as America has ever seen." Lou Harris , "the father of modern political polling. "Republicans prevented more than 350,000 voters in Ohio from casting ballots or having their votes counted -- enough to have put John Kerry in the White House."BY ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR.
