Hey Steve Lg, if you're here: HI
Thanks for posting the Clinton/PUMA information, repeatedly, as necessary.
Aight. Gotta unplug again and get something useful done.
Well, wait a second. Why doesn't the Biden pick reinforce Obama's strength on foreign policy? Most people, after all, would say Barack Obama was right to oppose the Iraq war. Given how easy it is to argue the opposite of Fournier's premise, it seems his analysis tells us more about his own attitudes than about the meaning of Obama's decision.
bingo. ive heard the same wingnut theme repeated on npr several times today.

A guy who's been in the Senate for 29 years and hasn't gotten all rich off of it is pretty remarkable, actually. I had no idea that was the case.

EEeeewwww! I hate it when they act saintlier-than-thou. I would've taken all of the pay-offs, bribes and tribute they offered.
In addition to his progressive dementia, John McCain is a POW!.
Did I mention he was once a POW?
Somerby correctly notes that McCain's "5 million dollar" statement was a joke- BUT- he forgets that it's only funny to wealthy folks.
So the "joke" does illustrate McCain's sensibilities. Sure, he might be a rich guy who will enact good policy for those less fortunate- but don't bet any of your many houses on that.

I'll bet that if you looked on Fournier's hard drive, you'd find five different versions of the same hit piece, each mentioning a different perspective VP choice.
Whether it was Clinton, Bayh, etc. etc., instead of Biden, he'd be preaching the same "weakness" story, I have no doubt.

Respect.
It's easy to get caught up in trying to count John McCain's houses or listing Barack Obama's preferred salad greens or trying to figure out whether there's a Whole Foods in Iowa or how much John and Cindy McCain spend on household staff. But reporters covering these who-is-the-real-elitist battles should keep in mind that for most voters, the candidates' bank accounts are less important than their own. The candidates' policy positions -- their tax plans, their proposals for dealing with the mortgage crisis, their health care plans, among others -- should be part of any news report purporting to assess the skirmish over which candidate is more in touch with the needs of the typical American.
Stranger in a strange land.

So I've returned from the back to school shopping. Anecdotal evidence, but there were definitely less crowds than last year. Retailers have got to be hurting bigtime.
Teenage boys are so easy to shop with. No hesitating, comparing, agonizing. Just:
one pair jeans
one pair khakis
several t-shirts, including one that says "Obama is my Homeboy" (judging by the merchandise out there, mccain is not doing so well with the under 25 crowd)
2 hats
one pair Vans
one set of Obama buttons from Urban Outfitters
Including dinner and a stop at Target to pick up notebooks, we were done in 3.5 hours.

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is expected to help kick off the opening night of the Republican Convention on Sept. 1, but the “governator” says his appearance is contingent on whether a state budget agreement is reached between Republicans and Democrats.
In a press conference Wednesday afternoon where the governor rolled out his budget compromise plan, Schwarzenegger said he “made it very clear” to Arizona Sen. John McCain that he’s “honored” to speak at the convention — but the budget comes first.
Oh, that McPOW and his celebrity friends.
I had an e-mail from the one friend who's been bitching and complaining about the election, threatening to sit out.
I came right out and told her "If you sit out this election, you are DEAD to me. And I MEAN it. This is not about you or me. This is too important!"

And you can always slice them up and fry them.

If I'm careful with the beans and pick 'em as soon as they're ready the plants will keep making new ones until it snows. Which around here could be December or January. Ok, I exaggerate, but not much.

The base doesn't really care for Arnold. That's why the "scheduling conflict". They don't want to appear to snub the state but a California Republican Governor might as well be a Democrat. For all the Reagan worship, the GOP base would probably never vote for him today. And Arnold is getting the screws put to him here. Even some rich guys are volunteering to pay more taxes

Well that fucking sucks. I had to get a hard drive replaced in July. Pain in my ass. Good luck with yours!
I'll vote for ANYONE who is not a rat-bastard republican.
Bottom line, this guy is too fucked up to be president. Been there, know that. If you err on the side of being a tough guy, you know painkillers are for the weak, it grinds you down. Pretty soon all you have are snarls and gut reactions.
What will be very cool with an Obama Biden administration is that there will actually be policy discussions again.
I loved the fact that Clinton would stay up til 2 am discussing arcane policy decisions with his eager beaver aides.
I think atrios has mentioned that policy discussions in the age of Bush are pointless. They won't be.
The Age of Wonk II will be a beautiful thing. Biden and Obama are not my cup of tea when it comes to their relatively moderate positions, but I feel very confident that the admin will be full of very bright people arguing passionately for public policy that benefits people other than Halliburton.
The base doesn't really care for Arnold.
Unlike McCain, he really is a Republican who doesn't always toe the party line. No other way he could cling to power in CA.
I'm on some cases w California state employees. They think they may get paid this month. Glad the state got rid of that spendthrift Grey Davis and put a grownup in charge of the budget.

Sitting it out, or even voting for McCain, is a meaningless act in most states. It doesn't matter whether I vote or not in California. Those 55 electoral votes are going to the Democratic nominee in any case.
In some states, like Texas, your PUMA protestaions are equally as meaningless, those 34 votes are going to McCain.

I cannot believe the people who are willing to come out Thursday night at 8 to watch a speech at 10. Adults, not kids. I am excited, I suppose, but really still shocked.
Tweety to Rachel:
"I am your brother."
those 34 votes are going to McCain.

What is the freakin' matter with the Dems and those who still refuse to support Obama?
It makes me so depressed and discouraged!
Psst! There aren't really that many of them. The media just wants you to think there are.
Frustrating that her die-hard supporters won't back the Democrat and give McSame their suppor
I know exactly zero of these people. Other than Republican hype and some folks on blogs who still have their Hillary hate on, I can't tell that there are any such folks. Either they're so insignificant that they can be ignored, which the campaign believes, or they're a big danger and Obama needs to do what's necessary to bring them in the fold. Beyond that, it's just a way to continue to hate on Hillary and make those of us who did support her more unwelcome in our own party.
How can you watch so many hours of punditry and remain so rational and non-slobbering????

Heh. Got AARP Magazine in the mail today.

McStraightTalk wouldn't mark a circle Support or Oppose on any of the AARP positions.

Tweety doesn't seem to care much for Rachel Maddow - he'll be calling her Boss soon so he should be nicer.
I have a feeling that Tweety's fragile ego wouldn't tolerate that. The day that Tweety has to work for Rachel Maddow is the day we find him sandwiched between wackos at Fox.

In some states, like Texas, your PUMA protestaions are equally as meaningless, those 34 votes are going to McCain.
That's as may be, but sooner or later, McCain will have to spend a day or so in Texas campaigning. When's the last time a Republican had to? And every hour he spends in Texas is an hour he won't spend in Virginia, North Carolina, Colorado, Florida...

Glad the state got rid of that spendthrift Gray Davis and put a grownup in charge of the budget.
Hecate, Runnymeade Conspirator
Davis was a damn sight better than Arnold and more than a few of his "budget problems" had to do with the state being fleeced by Enron (out of Texas, imagine that!), but he was kind of an empty suit. California state politics is as peculiar as any other states, just more so because we are like the 5th largest economy on the planet, or we were once.
it's just a way to continue to hate on Hillary and make those of us who did support her more unwelcome in our own party.

It's not as if our Corporate Repug Media has a vested interest in dividing the Democratic Party from within, or anything....Right?

The Last Campaign: How Harry Truman Won the 1948 Election
Washington, District of Columbia (United States)
ID: 157020 - 05/08/2000 - 0:57
Karabell, Zachary Author
Mr. Karabell discussed his book The Last Campaign: How Harry Truman Won the 1948 Election, published by Alfred Knopf. The book details the last election before television changed the process forever. The campaign featured four different candidates that represented the full spectrum of political ideology of the time, with incumbent Harry Truman challenged by Thomas Dewey, Henry Wallace, and Strom Thurman. He details the tactics used by Truman to win the election, that he was widely predicted to lose handily to Republican New York Governor Thomas Dewey, and how those tactics eventually led to problems affecting his next term and America as a whole.

I'm sorry, but there were a lot of hurt feelings, and anger, and resentment, and talk about not paying your dues. Senate seats are not open every day. But people stepped aside, got out of the way - male and female politicians - and worked hard to elect Hillary Clinton. That's all I'm saying.

The point of the 50 state strategy is to force the other team to spend all over and campaign all over. In the final analysis, it is a battle of attrition fueled by money. But the votes in CA will go blue and the votes TX will go red for this election, at least. The battleground states are always the key in the presidential race.

We are not a red state. We iz purple.
I'm not naive or stupid but this year's a lot different than any election in my memory. Most of the 'pukes I know do not like McCain- they don't trust him, they call him a weathervane, they don't think he's a man of faith and they sure as hell don't think he can relate to the average voter.

Fried green tomatoes are a delicacy. Slice, shake in a paper bag with flour and little cornmeal, salt, pepper. Heat corn, peanut, or your oil of choice in a heavy skillet. Fry until browned and crispy on each side.
And maybe, come to think of it, that's why Biden won out against the other contenders. Perhaps the vetting showed he was the only stable family man? In which case, smart move, because a sex scandal is about the only thing America pays attention to.

Yep and a pretty good one at that. They work well with people who are less than able to pay. My doctor in Blanco suggested I go up there when I got sick. I pay them $25.00 per month and they seem happy with it. I'll be as old as Simels before it is paid off but at least I'm not going broke.
I was able to work out payments with all of the doctors. They told me, just send something every month..as little as $5.00 will do and we're cool. I have most of them paid off after 4 years.
Dang.
Am I here?

This is what my Arkansas raised mother tells me. I'm not a fan myself, but she can have all the tomatoes she wants. 'Maters for the mater.
OK, I'm off to finish reading Timon of Athens.

Catfish. Fillet and salt and pepper. Shake in flour with a little cornmeal, what am I saying...see my post at 8:55, substitute catfish for tomatoes.
farm-raised catfish, bread em and cook em in peanut oil. Serve them with pickled green tomates, jalapeno and onion hush puppies, fries, and cole slaw.
Now I'm hungry.

WaPo had a v good recipe the other week.
Slice ripe tomatoes. Put some herbed goat cheese inbetween a "sandwich" of two tomato slices. Bread the outside. Roll in beaten egg. Bread again. Brown lightly in olive oil. Cool, slice, eat.
I've been adding chopped basil since I have a lot to use up.

GOP Fight in Nevada Could Cause McCain Trouble
Delegation SplitMay Prompt Votes For Libertarians
PAHRUMP, NEV. -- Two Nevada delegations are packing their bags for the Republican National Convention Sept. 1, and if the latest party ruling stands, neither of them will be seated.
A fiasco at the state convention spawned the dueling delegations -- one for John McCain and one for Ron Paul -- and their continued wrangling has exposed a split in the party that may spell trouble in a key state for the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.

The official story maintains that fires weakened the buildings. Jet fuel supposedly burned so hot it began to melt the steel columns supporting the towers. But steel-framed skyscrapers have never collapsed from fire, since they’re built from steel that doesn’t melt below 2750 degrees Fahrenheit. No fuel, not even jet fuel, which is really just refined kerosene, will burn hotter than 1500 degrees Fahrenheit.

NYT:
THE boom here allowed some people to become rich overnight
and gave many more the idea that they could do it, too. Ms.
Schrole, a single mother of four, succumbed to temptation
too late: she bought a home as an investment, sold her
own home, bought a much more expensive one, and lost both. “
I was stupid,” she says. “I didn’t get in until things started
to tank.” Ms. Schrole is in bankruptcy.
When I left my ex-husband, all the whispers was about how selfish I was.
But really? Was I really selfish, or looking out for my kid's best interests?
This was a guy who depended upon me for his self-esteem and financial support. He attempted suicide when he was 48. How selfish was I, really?
hmmm. Wonder what that same person says when they see a young (pos. unmarried woman in line in front of them in the grocery store with 3 or more kids) counting out her foodstamps?

It is not. I speak from experience.
Also, sheets. Like a while ago sheets.
Mark Seivert, an accountant who lives in the neighboring
town of Atwater, didn’t buy anything during the boom. Anyone,
he says, “could have figured out that too much inventory and
not enough bodies was a recipe for disaster.”
Mr. Seivert is going after a house that the owners bought
13 years ago for $86,000 and refinanced six times,
taking advantage of rising values to get cash that, in part,
they spent on the house. It has a pool with a small waterfall,
a TV room in the converted garage, a deluxe outdoor barbecue
setup and a kitchen with all the latest gadgets.
