It's been reported Michael Moore has called for a boycott of Connecticut and its businesses in an effort to pressure Joe Lieberman to end his opposition to a public health insurance option and expanded Medicare coverage. Being a (usually) proud Connecticut native, I feel Mr. Moore needs to reconsider this position, and I'm sharing this letter with dKos readers.

Dear Mr. Moore,

With all dues respect, you're acting like a f***ing idiot.

(Okay, that may not be a productive way to start, but it gets a little better reasoned after the break)

Have you ever longed for a simple, elegant solution to explaining how we got where we are in Iraq and Afghanistan (and even Iran) to right wing friends with questionable acumen? Well, thanks to Mr. Peabody (and not to a history professor from UW) you now can, and in just a scant 4 minutes and 19 seconds!

With help from his boy Sherman, the intrepid Mr. Peabody takes us on a trip through the Way-Back Machine to connect a lot of the dots, and reminds us of a number of past events that aren't as discrete as we might remember. He names names, and kicks ass! I especially enjoy Sherman's deliciously ironic "primogenitor" reference.

Forward the link to all your friends. And all the neocons in your address book, too.

John Boehner: STILL beating your wife?

I saw on the Internets that the group Americans for Responsible Patriotism to Save Our Seniors and Your Third Amendment Rights™ (www.bonnerandassociates.com/ARPSSYTAR) says Congressman John Boehner, (R-OH) may still beat his wife, and say we can do something about it! They (ARPSSYTAR) say they have documents from the County of Columbus Forestry Police showing Mr Boehner was cited (on at least two occasions) for cutting down protected trees to "make a switch for my wife!" I have yet to see anything on Congressman Boehner's website saying he has stopped, so it's reasonable to assume that this horrible behavior continues.

What does this mean to you and me and all Americans for Responsible Patriotism to Save Our Seniors and Your Third Amendment Rights™?

As I was reading Huffpost today, the teaser box on the right caught my eye...

Well. okay. Who cares about cynical Republicans suddenly praising Obama? Wait - what's that I see? Would you look at that! It's my favorite Republican!

I don't know if this was an inadvertent error, a deliberate editorial, or an intentional lampoon, but no matter what, the truth will out!

Are you paying attention, Harry Reid?

I was listening to a(nother) talking head on NPR (or are those talking ears?), and I was struck by the thought that there may be a very serious flaw in current polling methodology. I infer from the way the polls are presented that the concentration on likely voters skews the results in favor of John McCain. I'm not saying this is any sort of conspiracy by the "liberal media" or the corporate pollsters, but inadvertently creates faulty models. My understanding of likely voters means people who have consistently voted in the past, but have not yet voted.

And there's the rub.

I'm sure glad we have John McCain and Sarah Palin protecting us from that evil socialist, Barack Obama. Coming from Connecticut, consistently one of the three states with the highest incomes, I need someone who will safeguard my earnings from heinous distribution of wealth. I know that McCain and the Republicans will ensure that my fellow Nutmeggers will reap the benefits of our higher taxes.

Just look how good a job they do now...

Three simple words we have yet to hear at the Convention. Three little words that are worth tens of millions of dollars in advertising. Three words that communicate the real, red-meat message that the American people will hear, understand, and remember. Three words that can cut McCain's campaign off at the knees. Three words that inextricably link Republicans to the failures of Bush, Cheney, Iraq, the economy, terrorism, and high gas prices:

Hillary Clinton, in her cynical, increasingly desperate attempt to steal the Democratic nomination from Barack Obama, claims her strength with "White, working class voters" makes her eminently more electable, and better able to defeat John McCain than Obama. In fact, this very demographic is why she loses to McCain. Add the alienation of Obama supporters if Hillary hijacks the convention, and you're looking at a defeat to match Dukakis in '88.

The logic is simple:

This probably breaks rules on length, but I think it's important:

Watch the Tony Snow Interview on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart (Comedy Central). Once again Jon Stewart proves he is the hands down best interviewer in television news. And of course, he's a FAKE newsman!

Through 2 full segments, he spars with Snow, shows him respect, doesn't insult the guy, but calls him out for not answering questions, or appearing to not answer truthfully - "No Spin Zone" indeed! Watch it, and you'll be sending YouTube links to Matthews, Russert, Stephanopoulus, and even Scheiffer.

Repeats 1AM EDT/10PM PDT, and tomorrow at 10AM, 2PM, 8PM EDT.

Democrats Stop Blackwater Funding! (not)

The courageous Harry Reid led a Senate revolt against the $190B "National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008." Thanks to Harry and the rest of these bold Democrats Bush got a piddling $150B. But don't worry, at least $7B will come from children's health funding after the veto of the SCHIP bill. Sadly, little if any of the request is going to the US Military. Not for more armor, not for interpreters, not for military intelligence. The Armed Forces have already said that the money allocated through '07 is adequate for continuing current operations. The only ones who can't continue through the last quarter are Blackwater and the rest of the mercenaries; they don't work on credit. Without that spending bill controlling Blackwater would be simple: we don't pay, they don't play. They leave.

Let's go to the videotape...

This probably violates rules for being too brief but...

I don't support the death penalty. I don't support unjustified preemptory wars. I don't support rendition. I've never even struck anyone (intentionally) in my life. But hearing Ann Coulter beg for a fatwah tempts me to rethink my entire value system. Do I take the money I earmarked for Chris Dodd and send it to Jemaah Islamiyah? Do I hire a plane to drop fliers with the Page 6 quote over Riyadh? Do I convince my crazy brother in-law Carl that he's actually from Qatar? Or do I just suck it up and follow my conscience? Life would be so much simpler if I could be amoral scum like Coultergeist.

Meteor Blade's concise post on Bush's contempt for the global Global Warming Treaty (sorry, I couldn't resist the redundancy) got me to thinking about both the irony and the reality of his position. This true UN "Coalition Of The Willing" can not ony make a big difference for the future, but they can do it without the assistance of the US, make it tougher on Americans, and better for the world as a whole. They will also ensure that the truly worst polluters (i.e. India and China) will get to pollute far more and for far longer than the US. Which will only accelerate the decline and fall of the American Century.

But wait! There's more!
