Many, many sites on both sides of the isle, though predominantly on the Left (including diaries here on the Great Orange Satan), have been fantastic at explaining the unconscionable proposed Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) law; bill H.R. 3261 is being considered in congress soon, and is expected to pass committee this week. It needs little explanation here, although there have been a plethora of yeoman's work in doing so. Here, here, and here to highlight a few.

But leave it to a couple of Metalheads in Brooklyn, writing a blog, to brilliantly emphasize to their readers just how bad it may get.

For those who think the fight going on right now is simply about wages, benefits and Wisconsin state employee's collective bargaining power, think again. As she so eloquently does, last night Rachel Maddow explained why Gov. Walker and the GOP's attempt to undermine union's collective bargaining power is really a fundamental attack on the Democratic Party's ability to win elections.

Not much info right now, but MSNBC is reporting that two people have been stretchered out and others are receiving decontamination showers by Hazmat crews and the FBI.

Cross-posted at Right Hypocrisy

David Brooks is a long time editorial writer for such publications as The Washington Post, The New York Times and has been a senior editor at the neoconservative The Weekly Standard since its inception. While embracing many policies or beliefs somewhat to the center of dogmatic conservative principles, Brooks has maintained an aloof character which he uses to hide his still fervent beliefs that progressive and even mainstream Democrats hold little in the way of political, social or economic value.

In one of the most hysterical but also poignant eviscerations of Joe Leiberman I've yet to see in the blogosphere, The Austerity Program's Justin Foley makes the case that Extreme Metal with its history of Pagan/Satanic/Elf worship and especially Black Metal's misanthropic indulgences, have run their course. Over at Metal Sucks he claims the Metal dominion must worship their new muse:

...and the bills keep on coming and will for a while. So the anxiety, the fear and near shame of being uninsured, which started from the moment I became ill, has only worsened.

Unlike so many diaries right now, mine is not one of links and a call to action. No, unfortunately it is a story about the realities of our current health care system, a personal tale and one which I fear will end terribly for me and that in and of itself is enough of a call to arms I hope.

I have been coming to Daily Kos since the run up to the 2004 election, so I feel this is as good, if not the best forum, to tell my story. It thankfully isn’t one of ultimate medical tragedy; however it may well be one of financial ruin for me in the long run. What will seem to many like a rudimentary medical issue may well be ruinous for me I fear.

Jay Jay French, original and still current guitarist and songwriter for 80's Hard Rock band Twisted Sister, has re-recorded the band's smash hit "I Wanna Rock" with new lyrics and the title "I Want Barack".

I have never written a candidate diary. For ludicrous reasons of my own doing (nothing criminal, just stupidity) I've never voted and I don't have the time to rectify that in time for November. But today I feel the need to thank a man that has inspired me a great deal over the last year: John Edwards.

Seems only fitting on the day we celebrate Dr. King to simply leave it up to him to say what needs to be said.

In what can only be described as another blatant indulgence of "open" secrecy and complete contempt of justice, the Bush Administration has asked the Judge in the CIA torture tape investigation, not to even bother looking into the matter.

I listened with astonishment to Mitt Romney's speech yesterday, not because he completely avoided actually talking about his Mormonism, but for the claim which has so many in the secular camp worried about his concept of what role religion and freedom play in our lives.

This is that part:

Freedom requires religion just as religion requires freedom. Freedom opens the windows of the soul so that man can discover his most profound beliefs and commune with God. Freedom and religion endure together, or perish alone.

I say with no inhibition that my freedom not only exists without religion, but that an avenue available to me free of religion, implicit and explicit, not only saved me but enriched my life.

We all know how brilliant Stephen Colbert is; from his self-promotional genius to his top drawer satire, he has been as funny as anyone has in the last 4 or 5 years on television.

His Whitehouse Correspondence dinner speech last year was jaw-dropping in its ability to skewer both the President and the traditional media in one fail swoop. That he did it 10 feet from the President was a show of cajones like Washington has rarely seen, and eviscerated some in attendance who could only dream of doing likewise with a countless number of hours on TV or columns in print.

Who knew though that Colbert would specifically expose a Bush flaw that this week would be reinforced almost word-for-word.
