i don't think progressive democrats will ever give the mainstream party too much trouble unless and until we are really secure in the knowledge that the stake has been driven through the heart of the republican party and it is certified dead, dead, dead
but then, watch out!
Why would mainstream Dems listen to progressives if they already hold a monopoly?
It's like saying, "When all the Iraqis/Afghanis are dead, the anti-war movement can really gain momentum!"

This Irish movie theater owner doesn't care for Bruno, and lets us know through his MovieFone hotline:
I'm surprised MoDo didn't do something similar yet. Her whole shtick is based on working whatever blindingly obviously pop culture reference du jour is into a discussion of something wholly other, and being blindingly stupid about it.
I actually thought she was going to have to retire after THE SOPRANOS went off the air.

you make a giant assumption here that an effectively dead republican party means total control for the democratic party
It's like saying, "When all the Iraqis/Afghanis are dead, the anti-war movement can really gain momentum!"
no it isn't
Surely you're not that dumb
if there is any one thing that is ensuring your troll rating, it is that you are a rude little bastard and you think you are superior to everybody else. debate in a civil fashion, please, or we will cast a spell to cause rush limbaugh to take up residence in your butt
the criticism indicates a willingness to NOT toe the party line
No, it just indicates that maximum deniability has been reached on a particular subject. But the reflexive "He's still better than Bush/McCain" always kicks in.
people who are advocating similar, if not exactly the same, things.
I'm not interested in 'similar' things because I think that refusing any Party contribution/support is exactly the thing that is required.
That's an interesting assertion without any historical support.
If you don't know history, then you need to re-study it. Without the National Guard lining the streets, it would have taken much longer to integrate schools, if it even would have ever happened. Same for the changes in law that Gandhi sought to realize.

the analogy is so far off base that i would have to call on you to explain what you think you meant by it. relate it to the previous proposition, if you can
as for the main point, my original idea was that we all fear the resurgence of fascist stoopitism, and are relieved so relieved that there are not in charge right now that we are willing to get what we can for the meantime from obama and not gritch too much
only when we are free from fear will we really be in a position to push the recalcitrant donkey all the way
I read a case today - if you allow people to hunt or fish on your land you have no expectation of privacy.
It may seem obvious, but it's a bit of a disincentive to be generous as well.

A bipartisan group of centrist and conservative senators sent a letter to the Democratic and Republican leaders on Friday urging delay in consideration of health care reform.
The letter, obtained by the Huffington Post, was drafted by Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) and is also signed by Democratic Sens. Mary Landrieu (La.) and Ron Wyden (Ore.). Independent Joe Lieberman (Conn.), who caucuses with Democrats, signed on, as did Maine Republican Sens. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins -- moderates heavily courted by President Obama.
The organized effort to slow down the process is a blow to the reform effort. Obama has pushed hard for a final vote before the August recess, arguing that delaying until September could slow momentum and risk missing a historic opportunity.

On magic swords: "He owns a sword, one of the proofs of his kingship. It looks like an ordinary, even slightly rusty, weapon, but it is incredibly sharp and durable (exactly how it retains its incredible edge has never been explained, especially as after examination by a witch the weapon was declared to be quite the most unmagical sword she had ever seen. Presumably he sharpens it.). This is because, as Sergant Colon reasons in Guards! Guards!, one usually became king back then by killing one's enemies, and therefore wanted a sword that was neither shiny nor flashy but instead "bloody efficient at cutting things."

not really historical - there is NO historical Arthur. All of it is imaginings.
There are only two historical references and they were separated by centuries between - and those are one line references.
The first (and really only) historical document containing more than a line of reference is by Geoffry of Monmouth - a courtier and Bishop of the church. (Hence the inherent bias toward Christianity)

Unfortunately, Obama is beholden to corporate money like his fellows. So he has to be more indirect in his approach. Whether he turns out to be incredibly clever or a complete weenie, we will see.

i think a relatively historical arthur as a celtic king sadly but nobly fighting off the anglo-saxon invasion during the 6th century would be really cool
have you seen "The skystone" series? i have no idea how many books he's up to now, but the author has tried to keep the setting and characters pretty historical. they're very much "boy" books, if you know what i mean. but truly, if you go looking for it, reinterpretations of the arthurian legend are legion.

WASHINGTON – Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor won her first public pledges of support from Senate Republicans and one prominent GOP opponent, after a smooth performance at her confirmation hearings that has placed her firmly on track to become the high court's first Latina and the first Democratic-named justice in 15 years.
Three centrist Republicans announced they'd support Sotomayor even as the Senate's minority leader, Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, said he'd vote no. The split was a vivid reflection of the divisions in the GOP as the party faces a tricky vote on Sotomayor, wary of alienating its conservative base but equally afraid to anger Hispanic and women voters.
GOP Sens. Richard Lugar of Indiana, the Senate's most senior Republican, Mel Martinez of Florida, its lone Hispanic Republican, and Olympia Snowe of Maine all announced they'd vote for Sotomayor, praising her qualifications and her testimony at four days of Judiciary Committee hearings this week.
Will she get 80 votes? Roberts was 78 to 22. Alito was 58 to 42.

I have some (ok, very little) experience with live steel katanas. They're very tricky - unless you're really good you end up being as much of a menace to yourself as to others.
