This is gonna be a short one. One of my heroes is gone and I'm just too stricken to really put much into this...

Color me inspired by this diary.

I'm disappointed in Obama's stance on this.

I'm disappointed in the "chicken little" ism being derided on the rec list right now.

I'm disappointed in at least the appearance of blind loyalty to a party and/or a person I've been seeing here as well.

I'm disappointed in this country, politically, over the last decade and more.

But...

Just noticed that this section had been added to Barack Obama's site and thought it could use some exposure here on the Big Orange.

Tonight I got an email from an old friend of mine living down in Los Angeles, about what she should do with the tax rebate coming in.

She's not totally politically unaware, rather fond of Obama herself and a pretty sharp cookie in her own particular style. But honestly, I really didn't expect the question she asked me about over email tonight.

The gist of it is on over the jump...

Just a quick throw away diary, but an interesting encounter that made me smile. Figured it might be nice to share.

With all the financial obligations I'm juggling between my own here in Seattle and family back in Michigan, I end up behind on one bill or another and end up on the phone, debit card in hand, when something catches up with me.

Tonight, it was Comcast and my internet connection...

I've a particular interest in the thoughts and motivations of human behavior. I suppose it would be referred to as "arm-chair psychology", as derisive as that's usually portrayed. But I don't mind being wrong, nor having the opporunity to learn from those more "classically educated" in the field.

But I'm a voracious reader and my bookshelves are lined with quite a bit of non-fiction devoted to psychology, neuro-biology, sociology, and so on, so I'm not a complete novice.

That being said, I'm sort of on a hot streak of insight recently. Mostly revoloving around the mental/emotional workings of my family, but...

It occured to me while reading this incredibly well done diary (above and beyond in my ohh so humble opinion), that the motivation behind the rather irrational aggressiveness of the Clinton campaign this time around, might, even if only partly, come down to one thing:

an axe to grind with the right.

Been hearing this for months now, YEARS even, and I swear to God, if I hear it one more time my head's gonna explode!

This is gonna be a short one, but I had to get this out there. For my own peace of mind, if nothing else.

and a friend of mine last night. Most likely, we'll be in Denver at the convention together, regardless of who gets the nomination, both doing volunteer work.

The whole discussion was civil, we didn't get nasty or bitter, just compared notes and bounced our opinions and thinking off each other. We got a little loud now and again, but not in any way hostile. I really enjoyed the conversation and it widened my perspective on Hillary.

Didn't change my mind, I'm still behind Obama, but it was constructive, without becoming... bitter.

What struck me about the eventual conclusion was, when all was said and done, the policy differences weren't what the split was. She came right out and said it...

Gonna be a quick diary as I haven't much time right now, but this report from the Asia Times Online is reporting a VERY serious development in the stand off with Iran.

Seems Russia has decided to step up the resistance for a direct attack upon Iran. Go below for excerpts and link...

(The following letter was sent out to my entire addressbook. Thought I should share it. So here we go)

On this fine, Aug 29th day, my sister’s birthday even, our nation finds itself considering its priorities...

In the headlines is the report that our president will be asking for an additional $50 billion, for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. From the Washington Post:

The request -- which would come on top of about $460 billion in the fiscal 2008 defense budget and $147 billion in a pending supplemental bill to fund the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq -- is expected to be announced after congressional hearings scheduled for mid-September featuring the two top U.S. officials in Iraq. Army Gen. David H. Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan C. Crocker will assess the state of the war and the effect of the new strategy the U.S. military has pursued this year.

Quick note to all...

Gina just announced a few minutes ago, that this year, will be the last YearlyKos. Sorry to all those who were not able to attend. But keep faith...

Looks like we've got ourselves a little head-to-head going on here. This one's going to be brutal and probably more fiery than any we've been in yet.

Time to get down to work.

George Carlin has left the building...

I'm going to make this very simple for everyone...

Thank you Hillary!

Letter to an old friend on what she should do with her tax rebate

Interesting conversation with an ISP billing Rep

Why is she doing this? Redemption? Revenge?

The REAL question isn't how tough...

Had a nice long discussion with a Hillary fan...

Russia will close ranks with Iran should they be attacked...

Are we a people that want to build or a people more interested in destruction?

YearlyKos, no more... now... Netroots Nation

Tell that long tongue liar...
