President Obama has officially launched his reelection bid and the response here has been mixed, with many calling for a primary opponent because, apparently, Obama is a right wing sellout to corporations and actually worse than Bush. The decision by Attorney General Holder to try Khalid Sheik Mohammed in a military tribunal will most likely fan the flames of Obama anger and the cry for new leadership will ring from the keyboards of progressives across the land.

With this in mind I thought I would profile some alternative candidates and run a small straw poll on the matter. The following is a list of possible primary candidates with a few words about each.

I went to the Solidarity Rally in Austin today and took some pictures. It was an overcast day but everyone was in good spirits and well behaved. i would estimate the crowd at several hundred, maybe even a thousand.

Emma Long passed away today. she was the first woman elected to the Austin City Council. She was a Democrat and active for many years in local and state politics. In 1984 the City of Austin named the city park after her.

Two years ago today I checked into the hospital with an abnormally low platelet count. Little did I know that my life would never be the same.

I was watching the Medal of Freedom award ceremony today. Some amazing people were getting the award: Sidney Poitier, Edward Kennedy, Billy Jean King, Sandra Day O'Conner, and Steven Hawking were among many worthy recipients.

As luck would have it I am in D.C. this week and got to sit in the Senate Gallery when Al Franken was sworn in.

I had never sat in the Senate Gallery before, it was quite an experience.

It's a trend on Daily Kos that I couldn't resist being a part of.

First we had the 10 Best Simpson's episodes, the Seinfeld, then Buffy.

Well, I can't let Loboheads not have a voice here on Daily Kos.

The following is a list of my 10 favorite Sheriff Lobo episodes. I'll dispense with the synopses, Loboheads know what happened.

Note: this is a very subjective list. Your list will differ, no doubt, and I'll leave out episodes that other Loboheads will think are classics. So be it, that's what comment threads are for.

Wine regions is a weekly discussion of wine, focussing on an individual growing area.

Today we focus on Germany's Mosel, formerly known as Mosel-Saar-Ruwer, named after the river that runs through the vineyards and its two tributaries.

The Mosel makes some of the best and most underrated white wines in the world. More, after the fold.
