Hate to be preachy, but I hope that there is little, if any, activity on the progressive blogs for the next two weekends because bloggers are too busy working. Let's make Atrios, Kos, and the others very lonely for the next two weekends because we are canvassing, calling, fund raising, putting up signs, raising hell with the media, etc. This is an infantry campaign now friends and we'll win it or lose it in the streets.
I'm in a swing state and I will do whatever I can to make sure that we carry it. If we carry this state, we will win the election. It's winnable but requires a maximum effort.
I refuse to wake up the morning of November 3 (if I sleep at all) and wonder what more I could have done.
Let's stay off the blogs for the next two weeks than get together for a major league party on November 2 in cyberspace. It's worth everything.
Here endeth the sermon.

I was just thinking in the last couple of weeks of the campaign every major news organization will probably have some sort of focus on the issues.
I know I saw something on CNN regarding a multi story program over a few days focussed on the issues. If we got together a schedule of these programs and what particular issue that is being cover on a particular day, we could have an e-mail campaign a couple of days before the program insisting on facts and not spin.
We could post all the facts regarding an issue and everybody could use it for points in a letter to the personality and station airing the program. I have tried looking up CNN’s schedule but am not having any luck, any ideas? Is this something worth getting behind?

On a more serious Martian note, I don't understand why the Dems haven't been reminding people more about the whole Mars idiocy and mocking Bush mercilessly for it.

Holy shit. My pathetic little one-week-old blog got a comment from Pastabagel, of all people.
Bush is visiting New Jersey this Monday, October 18. He will appear at the Blue Barn recreation center in the Marlton section of Evesham, New Jersey. The NJ Democratic Party is organizing a rally to let Bush know that NJ is a Democratic State. Please organize a group of friends to go with you to the rally. Pass this information to everyone you know!

Pass the "Marlton Circle" and a shopping center.
Turn Right onto N. Elmwood Rd.
Turn Left onto East Main Street.
East Main Street becomes Tuckerton Rd.
The Blue Barn Rec Center is on Tuckerton Rd.
It is 45 miles (from Princeton) and will take 55 minutes (or less).

the new york times has endorsed john kerry:
October 17, 2004
John Kerry for President
Senator John Kerry goes toward the election with a base that is built more on opposition to George W. Bush than loyalty to his own candidacy. But over the last year we have come to know Mr. Kerry as more than just an alternative to the status quo. We like what we've seen. He has qualities that could be the basis for a great chief executive, not just a modest improvement on the incumbent.
We have been impressed with Mr. Kerry's wide knowledge and clear thinking - something that became more apparent once he was reined in by that two-minute debate light. He is blessedly willing to re-evaluate decisions when conditions change. And while Mr. Kerry's service in Vietnam was first over-promoted and then over-pilloried, his entire life has been devoted to public service, from the war to a series of elected offices. He strikes us, above all, as a man with a strong moral core.
•
There is no denying that this race is mainly about Mr. Bush's disastrous tenure. Nearly four years ago, after the Supreme Court awarded him the presidency, Mr. Bush came into office amid popular expectation that he would acknowledge his lack of a mandate by sticking close to the center. Instead, he turned the government over to the radical right.
[...]
We look back on the past four years with hearts nearly breaking, both for the lives unnecessarily lost and for the opportunities so casually wasted. Time and again, history invited George W. Bush to play a heroic role, and time and again he chose the wrong course. We believe that with John Kerry as president, the nation will do better.
Voting for president is a leap of faith. A candidate can explain his positions in minute detail and wind up governing with a hostile Congress that refuses to let him deliver. A disaster can upend the best-laid plans. All citizens can do is mix guesswork and hope, examining what the candidates have done in the past, their apparent priorities and their general character. It's on those three grounds that we enthusiastically endorse John Kerry for president.

He'll never get it in reality.
But they are in their own reality, remember? (see Suskind article) What will happen if Bush is *ahead* by 4 points going into the last weekend? Bullshit. Rove doesn't tell anyone anything that he doesn't want to get out.
I wouldn't pay too much attention to this.

I have a question for all you Eschatonians -- as some of you may know, the Guardian newspaper in the UK has published a story that gives its international readers tips on things that they can do to impact the coming US election. In fact, the paper will provide, to any reader who asks, the name and mailing address of an independent voter in Clark County, Ohio, so that said reader can write a letter to try and convince this independent to vote for Kerry (or even Bush -- the Guardian doesn't explicitly choose sides, but given the slant of their news it's clear they wouldn't do anything they thought would help Bush).
Anyway, my question is -- how would most of you react to receiving such a letter? I'd hate to be perceived as a meddling outsider, and maybe push someone who had been undecided into the Bush camp as a result.
But at the same time, there are many of us outside the US who feel like we too have a huge stake in the outcome of this election, but are frustrated and feel powerless to really do anything of substance.
So do I write, or do I don't?

How can a foreign news organisation have the name and adrees on a swing voter?
Wouldnt the two candidates love to have a list filled with those names?

charlie don't surf, I respect your viewpoint. I hate this war. But...
if I didn't laugh every day about some aspect of Bush's presidency, I would go crazy.
There's so much serious shit that's discussed here. We don't need to be reminded about what's important.

Chappelle isn't that funny, and it definitely isn't funny out of context.
No one asked you, did they. Frankly, that episode was extremely funny. You either didn't see it, or you have no sense of humor. And as J said:

Apparently people DO need to be reminded of what is important, since the 1100 dead benchmark has been passed with zero notice by anyone, meanwhile everyone is hammering on stale old jokes again. Sure humor has its place, but this isn't the Letterman show where it's (occasionally) funny to drive a joke into the ground.
If you have time to write lame jokes, you have time to work for Bush's defeat. Bad Chappelle jokes won't defeat Bush. Letting people know the current death toll in Iraq, despite the usual media blackout, WILL affect votes.

Oh my god, charlie don't surf. Have you never been here before? The posters here are some of the most passionate people on these topics in the country.
But we can't spend every moment smashing the machine. We need to stay sane while doing it, too. Humor helps me. So if it doesn't help you, well then, stay off the thread and keep going. Best of luck to you, and we're all supporting you. But leave us our few moments of relaxation.
And Chappelle is DEFINITELY funnier out of context.

I am not making this up. I made a total ass of myself at a party last night over Chappell. I was sitting on a large, (unbeknownst to me) BACKLESS couch. We were all trading our favorite Chappelle skits and I was roaring with laughter and threw myself back and flipped over backwards onto the floor.
What a maroon! At least I topped Chappelle for a moment.

Hmm -- looking at the feedback, and going by my own gut feeling, I'm thinking there's probably too much of a likelihood that I'd alienate anyone I might write to. It's probably less dangerous and more therapeutic to just pop in here from time to time and bitch, Martians!
Wait, I think I got that backwards.

charlie don't surf, and do you honestly think coming here and being a laughably self-righteous cocksucker is really going to help? who the hell do you think you are? how do you know that as we're laughing we're not telling people elsewhere about teh death toll? your not some moral paragon of virtue, you're just an ass using morose extremism and pathetically transparent political piety to elevate yourself.
so fuck off. in any case you obviously don't feel this issue of 1100 dead is SO important we must siphon off ALL OUR SEROTONIN until november 3rd. otherwise you'd be somewhere informing people who WEREN'T aware about this (artificial*) death toll. instead you're here being a troll and hectoring us on things we feel strongly about but don't (as would a child, or regressive adolescent, i imagine you're one of the two) go fucking binary with our emotions and decide that if there's something to be sad about, or angry about, we have to be sad or angry ALL the time or we're not pure enough. first, that's bullshit, second you've proven yourself unworthy to decide what's pure and what's not. you've got the emotional compass of a two year old.
*yeah, i'm sure #1099 was thinking "boy, when it gets to 1100, then it's getting REAL bad!" just the same as #1100 was thinking, "because of my death i hope no one ever laughs again!"
so, charlie don't surf, leave the human tragedy sob story of yours to be dealt with by people who are recognizably human, with the need to both grieve and laugh. ghouls need not apply.

IIRC, "Charlie don't surf" was one of the very few humorous lines in Apocalypse Now, a film which illustrated the horrors of war with devastating effectiveness.
So let's end the lectures on appropriate humor, eh?

This is funny:
The guide on my digital cable says the Sox-Yankees game is supposed to be over in 1 minute.
i was thinking about this recently. like seriously, why don't the democrats, or a well-funded lefty group, run an ad about Mars? Bush wants to fight wars, cut taxes, halve his record deficit, build a freaking moonbase, and send people to MARS!!! The commercial should make this out to be as ridiculous and asinine as it actually is _and_ must point out that the bigger problem - the problem that's bigger even than Bush's love of massive government spending - is the fact that the Mars program was announced as purely as a way of boosting his poll numbers and as a poor attempt at distracting us from more important things. That, just like everything else, the 'visionary' mars program is a big lie.
Making a really funny and brutal ad out of the Mars plan would be a piece of cake.

eschewing registration (mainly 'cause it didn't like my usernames), I've still got ya bookmarked.
Thanks, RMJ. If anyone knows how to overcome this registration nonsense, please let me know. I'd happily get rid of it, if anyone knows a hack or an alternate commenting system.
I hear ya about keeping up with blogs...one of the reasons I did this one was to have easy links to some of the ones I like, but never remember to read. I figured if I was obliged to update mine, I'd be obliged to read theirs.
Also, my insomnia's been so bad lately that I figured I should do something halfway productive with the time...

"To these guys (Kerry/Edwards & Democrats as a whole), winning office is more important than the sanctity of elections. Holding power is more important than the Constitution. Much as I despise at least half of what most Republicans stand for, they don't seem nearly as willing to trash the system they're trying to run. Too many Democrats, especially at the national level, just don't care that our system, our nation is far more important than any single election."
I made the mistake of going over to Vodkapundit to see what Charlie was up to.

>Democrats, especially at the national level, just don't care that our system<
I'm with those who know that satire is one of the most effective political tools. Particularly when directed against political tools like Chimpy McSmirk. Look no further than the increasingly beloved Jon Stewart, especially after yesterday's Crossfire smackdown.
Say what you will about Clinton and Reagan, but I think one characteristic they shared is a solid sense of humor. And Bush Sr., W, Cheney, Rummy, Ashcroft, Wolfowitz- hell, pretty much the whole lot of them are humorless pricks. Laughing at others out of heartless self-absorption does not count. I'm not sure who said it first, but it's funny to watch someone puncture the overinflated egos of the powerful, whereas making fun of the powerless is simply cruel (cf. "She'd say 'Please don't kill me', heh heh.)
That said, go watch Black Bush for yourselves. There's a 4-minute clip over at Comedy Central (on the Chappelle's Show page), though I don't think it has the Mars part (dammit!). Here is the direct link to the video clip.
See y'all on Mars, my bitches!

You have a good point. Considering all we seem to think about Bush and his disposition, I am surprised that his opponents do not toss a bit more humorous but mocking commentary at him. It is pretty obvious it would get under his skin and I really do not think he has the discipline to avoid reacting in some way.

Two more indications that GWB is completely insane:
read the NY Times magazine profile of him, and be very, very scared
and WaPo has a story that the French would have sent 15,000 soldiers to Iraq if Saddam Hussein had refused to allow UN inspectors back in, and under other conditions. Anyway, GWB would go absolutely crazy whenever Chirac would mention GHWB (GWB's father). Chirac was told by GWB's advisors to stop doing that.

"NYY 13, BRS 6 in the fifth."
No sweat. The Sox just need a TD and a 2 point conversion. Now if the defense can just get the ball back for Brady...

Boy, we sure hope Atrios or his leftist blogger friends don't link this site! If he did, and it caught on, it's unintentional achievement of a verifiable, personalized, and immediate reminder of what an actual draft means for America might cause some to rethink Bush's strategy!!!

PFSMSA standards of acceptance.

PFSMSA has me intrigued. The fact of the hilarity is, I only weight 125 lbs. but I was so limp with laughter that 5 grown men could barely pick me up. All the others sitting with me were so uselessly slapping their thighs to help at all.

Well creep ME out! I just checked the site "Yr Local Draft Board" (see above) posted and, sure enough, I'm in the system. I'm 41 years old! O.K., o.k., I'm not afraid of being drafted (I am afraid for my 18 year old nephew), but knowing I'm that deeply embedding in Big Brother's brain is shudder-making.

Bloomberg.com: “Lawrence Jacobs, a University of Minnesota political scientist who tracks minor parties, said he believes Libertarian Party presidential candidate Michael Badnarik, a 50-year-old Texas computer consultant whose name will appear on every ballot except in New Hampshire and Oklahoma, might draw more votes from Bush than Nader draws from Kerry.”

But is Badnarik taking money from the left? That seems like the $64K question to me.

Well, congratulate me -- I think. I'm so fucking old I'm not in the Selective Service system anymore. I originally registered for the Draft in July of 1969. Apparently they don't have records anymore for anyone born before 1960 -- at least that's what their site said when I checked.

FYI, I took my handle from a song by The Clash, not from Apocalypse Now (although the song definitely refers to the movie).
Maybe there is something wrong with you people, if you can't even CONSIDER looking at something from someone else's point of view. Sure, I can consider that people think Chappelle is funny. Why can't you even consider that some people think this ISN'T funny, especially the hundredth time?
Maybe you should walk a mile in someone else's shoes. Like mine. I'm sitting here in my dying mother's house, trying to keep her alive, partly in the hopes she'll live long enough for her absentee ballot to arrive and vote for Kerry. Her disease could be cured with stem cell techniques, but thanks to Bush's illogical ban, she'll die without any hope of a cure or even anything to slow the disease. So don't tell me to lighten up, some people NEVER get to lighten up, I'm on call 24/7/365. You people that are criticising me for daring to speak my opinion (that others have agreed with, I remind you) should consider this: would you tell someone whose family member was dying due to wounds sustained in Iraq to lighten up? I'm in the same boat, my mom is dying because of our asshole president's irrational decisions. Maybe you should consider that you're all as compassionless as Bush if you desire to suppress my opinion under these circumstances.

I don't know too much about him but from what I've seen of him he seems like a pretty likeable guy.
1.) He came to Central Park to protest Bloomberg's denial of a permit.
2.) He used the line "I don't respect 'free speech zones.' Everywhere I stand is a free speech zone."
I have to say, libertarian or not, I respect him more than I respect Nader (that is, of course, unless anybody has dirt on him I don't know about).

Birchers are still around actually, I went to High School with a kid who was a card carrying member about 5-6 years ago. When he showed it to me I tactfully said his family must be insane. I never saw him at school again after that, must have told his parents that the communists had infiltrated the school.

Seeing as how I live out here in the woods, I decided to join the Birch John society instead. I had to quit though, the splinters were driving me crazy.
Damn it, just me, you made me spit all over my brand new laptop!
My 19-year-old niece said about Bush's denial of the draft, "Yeah, Bush lies." Part of our dinner discussion last night was on where in Canada she could move if Bush steals the election. We decided Toronto or Vancouver, since she wants to break into the film industry (as a casting director).
Wore my Kerry/Edwards cap again today and got a "Yeah, Kerry!" from the gal at the gas station. Though it was cold enough I wish I'd worn my Kerry/Edwards ski hat! I figure wearing my cap is effective advertising -- Repugs dare vandalize it at their own peril!
My niece's younger siblings are geeked up for Kerry; they're too young to vote, but it's good training. Their dad the cop is definitely in the Kerry camp after seeing F911, and their stepmom is just about convinced.
Someone in her boyfriend's neighborhood added a nice touch to a Bush/Cheney sign -- shot it with an orange paintball, the closest to red they sell around here. As we were our today she spotted two B/C signs across which someone had spraypainted "Peace." We decided that the best term for it wasn't "vandalism," but "correction."

As we were our today she spotted two B/C signs across which someone had spraypainted "Peace." We decided that the best term for it wasn't "vandalism," but "correction."

Seeing as how I live out here in the woods, I decided to join the Birch John society instead. I had to quit though, the splinters were driving me crazy.
Damn it, just me, you made me spit all over my brand new laptop!
My 19-year-old niece said about Bush's denial of the draft, "Yeah, Bush lies." Part of our dinner discussion last night was on where in Canada she could move if Bush steals the election. We decided Toronto or Vancouver, since she wants to break into the film industry (as a casting director).
Wore my Kerry/Edwards cap again today and got a "Yeah, Kerry!" from the gal at the gas station. Though it was cold enough I wish I'd worn my Kerry/Edwards ski hat! I figure wearing my cap is effective advertising -- Repugs dare vandalize it at their own peril!

Thanks, NYMary, for your concern. Yes, I have loads of "help" from my deranged siblings. My biggest job is defending her from their insanity. So basically I'm totally on my own in providing her care, with a huge additional workload caused by their "help."
I'll just give you one example. I found out my mom was sending big checks to fake charities, she's on a sucker list distributed amongst scammers. Sure it's great that a dying woman can take what little time she has left to try to make other peoples' lives easier. She's especially a sucker for fake charities for Veterans. Unfortunately, she's unable to tell a fake charity from a real one. I take all her letters out of the mailbox, look up the charity on guidestar.org to see if they're legit, and they all have zero stars out of a possible 4. So I take those checks and tear them up. But now my mom discovered my activities, and is giving these letters to my brother, who sneaks them out of the house and into the mail. I confronted him about this and told him not to do it anymore, because she can't afford it, her taxes are in arrears and her house is threatened with seizure by the IRS, but he's helping her waste money she needs to save for her taxes. But he defended his actions, he says it's her money so she can waste it if she wants. He already stole $150k from her, which is why she can't pay her taxes. I'll probably have to go to court and have her declared incompetent to manage her financial affairs, due to his meddling.
Then, he welshed on his promise to rake the leaves in the yard, he said didn't have time today, and then he spent the next 2 hours ranting about how he wants to go to Iraq to kill Iraqis, but the Marine recruiter turned him down because he's too old. So I looked up the number for Coldwater Security and told him he could be in Iraq killing Iraqis in 2 weeks, let's phone up Coldwater right now, put up or shut up. He left. I had to rake. It only took an hour.
Welcome to my world. I'd be better off without help.

Charlie don't surf, I feel for you. It's hard to watch a family member die. I've lost my mom and dad, a brother and a sister. My dad died of cancer, and my sister of advanced alcoholism, and those were drawn-out times that hurt.
No offense, but you have to learn that the rest of the world isn't in the same place as you. Even more, for some people humor relieves the stress of grief. At both my parents' funerals, my siblings and I spent part of the time cracking bad jokes. It sounds irreverent, but really wasn't -- after all, where else had we gotten our strange sense of humor?
When her mom was dying, my niece (who I mentioned above) kept her sense of humor. She had to, or it would have overwhelmed her.
So don't take the levity here as a personal insult. We all know how serious the country's situation is, and I'm sure we're all working to fix things in our own ways. But we all have to handle the stress in our own ways, too.
If it helps your bitterness, even if Bush had enabled stem cell research, a cure might not have come in time to help your mom. Unfortunately medical progress doesn't come that straightforwardly. View your fight to defeat Bush as fitting tribute to her.
My best wishes for you, and peace for your mom.

"Charlie don't surf" by The Clash is actually kind of a funny song.
I mean, in a lighthearted yet vicious kinda way.
It's on "Sandinista!" which was definitely one of the best albums of the 1980's.

Ok, for them what's not so good on the internets, I been workin' hard (it's hard work) to find a complete clip. Thanks to the widespread blatant disregard for copyright laws, you can find streaming Realvideo of Chappelle's full show with the Black Bush sketch here. Jump to 16:40 and watch for about a minute. Then shall you truly understand the satirical splendor that is Mars, Bitches!
And for further rampant flouting of the law, you can find links to RV clips of his entire first season (whence came the Mars clip) here. One of my personal favorites is his bit on what it would look like if the treatment of drug dealers and corporate crooks by the legal system were switched. It's quite a larf!

On the draft- I was in college in the early '80's when the Solomon Amendment was passed. It required registration to be eligible to receive federal financial aid (or have pretty much anything to do with any federal program). Funny story- apparently it only affected those of us who needed financial assistance (heh heh)! See, the kids at my Ivy League school whose families didn't qualify for federal aid (the poor bastards) never had to worry about it. Funny, huh?

Just a note, they may not need a draft. Funny thing is, a lot of people don't read the back of their enlistment papers. If they did they might notice this little factoid. A male enlisted personnel may be called back to duty at anytime up until age 65 and an enlisted female up until age 55. If your an officer, you can be called back at any age. That's why we already have several retirees on active duty in Iraq.
I'm 45, a single mom and out of shape, but they could still activate my happy ass.

Ellen: Funny thing is, a lot of people don't read the back of their enlistment papers. If they did they might notice this little factoid. A male enlisted personnel may be called back to duty at anytime up until age 65 and an enlisted female up until age 55. If your an officer, you can be called back at any age. That's why we already have several retirees on active duty in Iraq.
I can't imagine that this would pass a "legal contract" test... people should be challenging it in court. Involuntary servitude cannot legally be "contracted" ... I'm not an attorney but I know at least that much. The military relies on intimidation, rather like the IRS. It banks on people being too afraid to challenge what is clearly illegal in a so-called "nation of laws". Why this isn't taught to kids in high school every damn day remains a mind-boggling mystery to me. Unless of course one understands that schools were never designed to teach people to be "free". [sigh]

"pilonidal cyst" according to Google, although my original comment was only setting up the money line: Right ailment, wrong asshole.
and a brilliant money line it was. it earned today's coveted "damn, i wish i had posted that" award.
your prize will be delivered by halliburton, if they don't just steal it out of the back of the truck...

Three words: turnout, turnout, turnout.
And I wonder if the Repubs see this one coming: the flu shot shortage is going to lose this election for them. You don't piss off the old folks so close to election day.

OK, Greek and Roman history time.
Mars is the God of War.
When Mars is in the sky, someone is going to get their ass kicked.
When the war is over, then the winners get to write the history book,
or history tablet, and say... "See, the Gods are on our side".
George is hoping that his god comes out on top.
If he looses, then Osama get's to send a tape to Al Jazerra that "My God, kicks Butt!"
Stay tuned to your satellite dish.

dear Charlie don't Surf:
a family member dying isn't hilarious but is rather sad
however
on the whole, 1100 american troopers going into battle and dying for no good reason at all is quite funny when i think about it. the civilized nations use military might as their means of affecting change in the world. they go about destroying many things, it's laughable when their pawns die fervently and pointlessly. besides the quintessential Soldier never had the heart or the insight to LIVE for a good cause, only to go die and/or KILL for a bogus disgusting one.
quite possibly very funny.

I think the real question is, what will Woot choose as the victory boobie!?!
A trifecta of martian bitches? Because martian boobies come in threes.
And named for the hot-headed unstable God of War no less.
The cosmos loves nothing better than heaping on the irony.
Later on my bitches... and you are all my bitches.

Central Scrutinizer says we can't make this up:
President Bush turned the tables Saturday on Sen. John Kerry, declaring "the best way to avoid the draft is to vote for me," and pledged to oppose mandatory military service.
Heh, this used-car salesman also promised us a "humble foreign policy". I'll believe what the Chimp says the day after he finds a few megatons of WMDs in Iraq.
