I am an admirer of a lot of Mr. Moore’s work, but he has misled people by saying on his blog that the diplomat who wrote the WikiLeaks cable lied about the banning of Sicko in Cuba. The cable was written in January 2008 and the film wasn’t shown on Cuban state television until April 2008, so it is quite possible that Cuban authorities had been planning to ban the film, but changed their minds later. There is no evidence either way. It is therefore wrong of Mr. Moore to call this a "made-up story."

But that’s not really the worst of it.

Jim DeMint said on the Hugh Hewitt radio show:

"This is bad policy, bad politics, and a bad deal for the American people," said Club President Chris Chocola in a statement. "The plan would resurrect the Death Tax, grow government, blow a hole in the deficit with unpaid-for spending, and do so without providing the permanent relief and security our economy needs to finally start hiring and growing again. Instead, Congress should pass a permanent extension of current rates, including a permanent repeal of the death tax, and drop all new spending," Chocola said. "A month ago, the American people repudiated Washington big government. It's time for both parties to finally hear that message and act on it."

Many here are not paying attention to the fact that we have to have at least some support from these people in order to govern the country.

By mudslinging, I mean attacks on administration, justified or not, that propose no constructive alternative solution.

Our President has invited us to hold his feet to the fire. That does not mean indulging in a lot of self-congratulatory blathering on the subject of how the administration isn't upholding your own high standards. Baby. It means identifying real policy proposals that we can support, bugging our congressmen and working to see that those proposals get the attention they deserve.

I am sick and tired of hearing complaints that offer nothing but ego on parade. Cenk Uygur is a master of this, which is why diaries demanding that he knock it off have been so popular today. What I want to hear: constructive solutions and organized efforts to promote those solutions.

Therefore I propose the following.

We don't own the nation just because our party won back the White House.

I really do not care for the hateful tone of some of the diaries here lately. Some of you sound just exactly like they did over the last eight sorry years, I am sad to say. They wasted a lot of breath telling us to leave the country, too. Why didn't we do it? Because it is also our country. It's theirs, too. Our job is to change things so that we can all get along, not promote more stupidity and blind hatred ...

My dad had kidney disease for over 20 years, starting around 1970. It's the kind of disease where your body just falls apart bit by bit. He had bowel surgery, infections, hemorrhages. Many many trips to the emergency room, many weeks in intensive care, many procedures, surgeries, dialysis, etc. My mom worked in the hospital where he was treated, and he had first-rate care, always. He was a very proud guy, an entrepreneur and immigrant, born in Venezuela; he'd been a successful businessman, but this illness took him down remorselessly, day by day.

Seeing the unity, energy and bravery of the kids in Tehran is so inspiring. They are not sitting around complaining about what jerks Ahmedinajad and Khameini are. They are going out to express their political will tomorrow, at great danger to themselves.

Those of us who have spent the last six months complaining about our President and complaining about Congress should be ashamed, I think, in the face of that. We too need to gather up our forces and demand to be heard, and fight, and not take no for an answer.

A superbly clear analysis of why the Geithner plan is the best we can do right now. I'd love to see this on the Rec list. Please read this if you want to get an idea of the FACTS as opposed to just yelling.

Too many recent diaries regarding this plan are based on emotion. Too many people seem to think that this is money that hasn't ALREADY been lost.

I moved to LV from Los Angeles a couple of weeks ago to work for the campaign. My team of four are all bilingual Spanish speakers and we're all from California. By my reckoning we've talked to over 1200 people between the four of us, and it's my strong belief that Obama will carry the Latino vote in North Las Vegas by a mile.

I'd love to hear from other canvassers and Las Vegas experts on this point.

Please see my (not-too-serious) canvassing blog for more details:

I don't know if others have enjoyed Andrew Halcro's Alaska politics blog as much as I have. Mr. Halcro is an Alaska Republican, and one-time rival to Sarah Palin for the governorship. If only more Republicans were like him. Follow me over the flip for the best soundbite of all the debates, in my view.
