2008 will be remembered as a year of redemption for our nation.

If not Depression. 

 

******************************************

Why not just cut out the middle man and use the moniker "Cynical" instead of "Sitka" - lol.

Again - Dr. Martin Luther King, Senator Barack Obama and Dr. Howard Dean are number one today.

After I magnanimously included Senator Hillary Clinton on the last thread, I have returned to the "Progressives Only" lunch counter.

And, as always . . . .  . . .

Congrats to FIU Campus Corps. Great win. Keep up the good work. We rcan eally use a lot of it in Florida.

An Error In Judgment

As mentioned earlier today, the Wall Street Journal reported that Clinton chief strategist Mark Penn -- in his role as chief executive of Buston-Marsteller -- met with Colombia's ambassador to discuss a free trade deal, which Clinton actually opposes.

Penn just released this statement: "The meeting was an error in judgment that will not be repeated and I am sorry for  it. The senator's well known opposition to this trade deal is clear and was not discussed."

Clinton's campaign - misspeaks, misheard, errors in judgment, bad jokes

Barack Speaks on the 40th Anniversary of the Assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

I'm no Rachel Maddox fan on KO's show and I seldom listen to the radio. If she is to host his show tonight, that would be a great improvement to those two gals who have been doing it. David Schuster is OK and a better choice than any of the other three.

I'm "sounding" like a chauvinist, but I have an original ERA copper bracelet just waiting for the day it gets passed to wear it proudly then pass it on to my youngest daughter. 

BTW our hard headed state senate passed the ERA Amendment last week. Now to the state house. If they pass it as well, then we will need I think only two more states to ratify.

ABC News' Eloise Harper and Sunlen Miller Report: Senator Hillary Clinton's voice quivered as she recounted her recollection of the day Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated.

Another teary eyed moment.  Please.  No one really falls for this crap do they?

So Clinton's popular vote theroy is hogwash.

I did not realize that Iowa, NV, Maine and WA have no idea of the vote count.

The final four states--Iowa, Nevada, Maine and Washington--all held caucuses. But unlike Florida and Michigan, none of them even kept track of how many people voted for each candidate.

The fact is, the Democratic Party has only one mechanism in place for deciding the nomination: delegates. The system is simply not equipped to produce an accurate tally of popular votes.

As Michael Barone of U.S. News notes, Clinton could conceivably "win" such a mythical popular vote. Now she just has to convince Murtha and Corzine's fellow superdelegates that it exists.

Franco Caliz-Aguilar or HQ need to edit this post. The url doesn't fit this page and is pushing all the information on the right side of the page to the bottom.

Awesome, FIU.  Yes. Florida needs all the help it can get.  

Must be something funny in the air down there today, though.  First i got a call from the Georgia Coast; then another from Florida telling us an alligator had tried to "eat" a former neighbor.  Since he didn't even get a nipped finger, we decided the alligator was not real serious.  The fellow was wading in keystone lake.  I mention that because i think Annilow lives near there.  Presumably, the lake levels are still low, so they're smaller--less room for the alligator population.

Joan - I actually am a big fan of Maddow. I'm just disappointed in her radio show as of late. For whatever reason - she's full of it with the *they're both throwing mud* routine. blah blah blah.

 

January 15, 2005 letter to Edwin ~~

 

I posted this on the blog, but I actually wrote it for you more than anyone else. . . .   So, today is Martin's birthday.  And I'm glad this country acknowledges it.   But his birthday always brings to mind so clearly to me the first week that he wasn't.  It was beautiful weather in D.C. that week.  There was a Forsythia in bloom at my back door, and I spent the whole week digging it out, to replace it with a Mock Orange.  I had a radio on the porch listening to the news of the riots as I sweated, disentangling the Forsythia's roots from around the construction junk the builders had buried next to the house.   My neighbor across the street with her doors locked was calling frequently, convinced that the rioters were headed our way.  (Right, all the  women in the neighborhood had to drive to the bus stop to pick up their maids  ~~ was she expecting them to take taxis out from DeeCee just to get our little chicken sh!t ghetto?)   As I sweated, dug and pulled, and the sky was blue and beautiful, and 7th street burned and burned, I recall feeling so hopeful.  At last they were angry, and standing up!     When I first came East, I worked in the personnel records dept of Hot Shoppes/Marriott.  We had thousands of employees in D.C.  mostly cooks, busboys, dishwashers.  They bought furniture on credit from the stores on 7th Street.  Whole house suites.  The terms were very easy, the furniture crappy.  But the monthly payments were possible even on a busboy's salary.  The interest, outrageous, but at least you had a couch to sit on, a table to eat on, and a bed to sleep on -- for a year or two, until it fell apart.  Then generally, they stopped paying.  And went down the street to buy another set from another store.  The owners didn't much care, D.C. had a really good garnishee law.  The buyers were sometimes paying for two or three deceased suites as well as the currently useable one.  Every time I'd filed another garnisheeing notice, I'd felt outraged.  They were paying double or triple what the junk was worth in the first place.  And yet I could see no way out for them, then.  No one else would give them credit.  They were doing what they could.  But if I were angry, just standing helplessly by, how much more angry must they be?   And now, 7th Street was being burned!  One could see the smoke from the burning city even from Maryland.   I pulled several bushels of construction junk from that hole, and dragged it to the curb.  I planted the Mock Orange with much new dirt, and manure, and hope.  And it flourished.   And I always think of that week as the beginning, though I know it began earlier, with a man who would not have approved of the riots, but who had given the heart and the hope into the making of them and heart and hope did not end when he did. . . .   Thank you Martin.   . 

A Pitbull

...every campaign needs a pitbull to attack the other campaign.  Dickhead Cheney was W's attack dog.  I guess Spiro Agnew did the sh!t-work for tricky dicky (Richard Milhouse) Nixon.

Who might be the one to fill that slot for Barrack Obama?  Who?  Think.  Make a case.

That person is auditioning as we - post after post - tip our hat to Howard Dean.

Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Pitbull

rae hart

thank you so much for that Obama/MLK youtube link 

OooH, that hottie is sub'ing for Kieth O tonight.  I hope she goes far.

Rachel (and BTW those of us who love America and want her to progress) deserves to have her own show.  I would love to see her bring he worldview to the table.

Fight!
