I agree.

Obama is not Howard Dean. The reason the blogosphere and I got behind Dean is that he was saying Democrats needed to fight Republicans for every single f*ing vote and more importantly, the way to do this was to not get in bed with them (too many jokes). Meaning this bipartisan crap was/is just that, crap. You don't win elections and change the direction of the country by parsing out how much you are going work with Republicans. Of the top three I feel that Obama is the most likely to make sacrifices at the altar of bipartisanship.

Beckham. Yawn.

So Becks is going to practice with Arsenal in the offseason. Who cares?

So why did I link to the story? The picture with the article. That's at RFK. DC United represent.

EXACTLY!

This is pretty much exactly what I have been saying for a few years now. Corporate media has lost its credibility and new media has not yet evolved to take its place.

Can I get a "You were right"?

Once again the left blogosphere turns out to be correct. Joe Lieberman is a colossal douchebag. So, this prick, who was a Democrat until he lost the Democratic primary in Connecticut, is now an "Independent". Specifically, he is a member of the Connecticut for Lieberman party (the chair of the Connecticut for Lieberman Party asked him to resign). But becasue he "caucuses" with the Democrats he has been allowed to keep his leadership posts on various committees. Well, now that he has actually ENDORSED a Republican I hope the Democratic leadership will final kick him to the curb. Unfortunately, it won't happen until after the 2008 elections when the Dems increase their majority and will no longer be beholden to fucktard Joe.

We're all Liberals now

America is much more liberal than we are led to believe. As usual I blame our craptastic media for misrepresenting the American public to itself.

My unease with Obama continued

This post does a fairly good job of pointing out some of the problems I have with Obama. The 11th paragraph (counting the one word second paragraph) is where it really hits home, specifically these sentences:

clipped from www.mydd.com

You need not be an ardent leftist like Street to question Obama's progressivism and commitment to political battle. Just about every month he delivers a warning sign to progressives, and every time progressives manage to be surprised. Joe Lieberman. "Playing chicken with our troops." Donnie McClerkin. The Move On Vote. The silence on Kyl-Lieberman. The social security "crisis."

Like I said previously, Edwards has problems for me as well, but he seems much more likely to reject the corporate-friendly status quo than Obama.

DAAAAAAYYYYMMMMMM

The best part is that Adebayor knows it's a goal as soon as he hits it.

Ok, Ok, Katie, sheesh

Obama is now tied with John Edwards in my book. This is the latest thing that pulled him even with JE. It still concerns me that Obama is not progressive enough (or at least is not openly pursuing a progressive agenda that I have seen) but I have to admit that aside from his populist economic talk JE is not really the one for me. His stance on gay marriage (he's against) is realistically a deal breaker and if his environmental record is as bad as Katie says, that is even more of a deal breaker. Can't Al just throw his hat in the ring and eliminate all of my uncertainties? My decision might come down to whoever Gore endorses.

I support the writer's strike

I have boycotted watching TV shows online until the writer's reasonable demands are met . And I've sent letters to the networks stating that. The thing that amazes me are all the people who say they support the strike but do nothing to show they support it.

UPDATE: In response to the comments: sorry, no, that doesn't count. For me, it's not so much about the writers and TV but more about unions. America is a better place when unions are strong. So, write those letters to the networks saying you're not going to watch their shows until the writers get what they are asking for, just don't tell them that you already don't watch.

I'm in.

I will start looking through my photos this evening to see if I have anything to enter. I can think of one off the top of my head.

My first dance will be like this. Be prepared Mom!

Google searches

It's always interesting to see what people search to find this blog.

"jen capps" is by far the most common search string that brings people to the site and I am currently 5th on the search list. The funny thing is that people are looking for Jennifer Capps the actress not Jen Capps, the friend I run into in very random places, at least I assume that is the case.

Another recent search was "sites to visit every day". I show up 2nd in that search list.
