I find it odd that Hillary can say something that just doesn't jibe with what I imagine 90% of us do and so many people find it perfectly understandable. She opted for co-mingling her personal and work emails on one account out of convenience? Ever since I've had a work email, I have maintained two separate email accounts. I don't mix the two and haven't for at least 15 years. It's not hard. Matter of fact, it's more convenient.

But maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm in the minority. Here's a poll:

I normally like Steve Kornacki, he does good work, in particular has been excellent in covering the Chris Christie Bridgegate Scandal. And I'm a fan of MSNBC, almost all their shows. But the interview conducted last week by Steve Kornacki of Progressive Candidate Marianne Williamson for Congress representing California's 33rd District was disgraceful and exhibited everything that is wrong with MSNBC, everything that is wrong with our news channels as long as they strive to be "entertaining". Fortunately, Marianne is such a strong and forceful personality that she took him to the woodshed and refused to fall into a trivialization of both the people she represents and the issues facing our country today.

Every time there is another Filibuster Reform Petition on DKos I sign it and then follow it up with a note to Senator Boxer since she has been one of the infamous 6 Democrat Senators who did not get behind the real Reform measure proposed by Senators Merkley, Harkin, and Udall.

Lawrence O'Donnell has been Barney Frank's biggest, or at least most vocal, supporter in Frank's bid to fill John Kerry's Senate shoes until the special election. On tonight's Last Word, Lawrence broke the news that Deval Patrick will be making his decision known on Wednesday and is set to appear that night on the Last Word - also known as "Barney Frank's Campaign Headquarters".

I guess at this point there is no reason to be shocked by any of Herman Cain's attempts to cover up this imbroglio. Is it gall, or balls, or just sheer stupidity which led him to come out today and say he can't remember ever seeing Sharon Bialek when there are witnesses to their meeting last month at "Tea-Com", a convention of Teabaggers. And not only that, but backstage at the event and in front of a number of people in the media.

One of them is Amy Jacobsen who has a radio program on a local station in Chicago - her show directly precedes Glen Beck's. She was interviewed on Beck's show today, hours before Cain's press conference, and related her story of witnessing a confrontation between Cain and Bialek just before he took the stage at the convention. The clip is quite funny in how Beck tries to steer Jacobsen to smear Bialek, something she steadfastly refuses to do. Quite the opposite. But perhaps that's because Ms. Jacobsen herself has been a victim of workplace sexual harassment. Anyway, the interview is here, in it's entirety, and well worth a listen.

No baby talk pooties and wootles or woozles whatever. Birds are birds, proud, courageous, intellectual, deep, and easily bored by Republicans.

In Muzikal's Liveblog of the OFA event today she tries to justify her accusation of the President being dishonest by writing:

When Smerconish asked him if Sebelius "misspoke" when she said the public option isn't essential to the new plan, Obama said she didn't misspeak she simply said what they've been saying all along. When Smerconish mentioned that a lof of people seemed to think a public plan was a big part of his health care proposal during the election, Obama laughed it off and said she didn't understand why people thought that.

I shrugged this off until her behavior today of constantly changing the title of the diary began to make me wonder about the honesty of her interpretation of the interview. Fortunately there is such a thing as transcripts and when we go to the source we see a completely different picture.

Lost in the loopiness of Friday's press conference was the complete inaccuracy of her basketball analogy. A Governor is not Bob Cousy or Steve Nash, he is Wilt Chamberlin or Shaq. A Governor is the dominating presence in the middle, so powerful that the offense runs through him to accommodate his game. He doesn't throw the alley oop, he's the one who catches it and jams it through the hoop. He's the one when the team misses the shot he gets the rebound and slams it through the hoop. He's the one who gets the ball down low and powers his way under the basket and slams it through the hoop. It's called signing bills and transforming ideas into laws.

The tax break for Feature Films created this year has apparently been stripped out of the stimulus package thanks to the efforts of a few sound-bite seeking politicians like John McCain who saw an easy publicity mark and went after it. In doing so we are losing not just a direct, quick, and effective stimulus to the economy but also one which could in fact become revenue producing.

From the Sean Quinn at FiveThirtyEight.com:

Democrat Mark Begich will win the Alaska Senate race.

With 14,626 of the roughly 24,000 ballots left to count today, Begich's lead over Republican Ted Stevens is now, 2,374. The remaining results are expected to arrive later this afternoon. Stevens would have to win by a margin of over 25% of the outstanding ballots to tie Begich.

That would require something of a Gravelanche.

This places Begich outside of the free recount zone of .5%. Although the Anchorage Daily News is calling a recount "likely" this has yet to be decided by Ted Stevens who would have to pick up the cost. Whether he would throw good money to chase a highly doubtful result which would end up in his expulsion from the Senate is very questionable.

Shameless plea for 200,000 hits

When we first uploaded to YouTube our parrot Smokey it was just to show him in action to some friends and family on the East Coast. When the hit counter reached 100 we were amazed. Who were these people watching our bird? Then thanks to DKos and Wonkette he went viral and suddenly CNN did a piece, Stephanie Miller talked about him, and our favorite Chris Matthews played a clip. Smokey on Tweety, what symmetry.

Perhaps it has all gone to our heads, but once we hit 100,000 we thought how great if we can make it to 200,000 by election day. And now with less than two weeks to go, we're over 190,000 and it looks like Yes, we can.

If you haven't seen him before, any additional hits would be appreciated. My apologies for a non-serious diary, but what's the point of winning if you can't have some fun along the way.

On Friday, Senator Susan Collins of Maine facing a tough re-election campaign herself urged McCain to stop making robocalls into her State linking Obama to 60's activist William Ayers.

"These kind of tactics have no place in Maine politics," said Collins' spokesman, Kevin Kelley. "Sen. Collins urges the McCain campaign to stop these calls immediately."
