Hey folks, I'm the webmaster over at Air America and there has been some discussion in the right wing blogosphere, basically accusing AAR of stealing from poor kids. BlatherWatch has the rundown. Read More

Many people have already written about the ongoing recruitment scandals. Millitary recruiters intimidating teenagers in malls. Giving advice about forging documents. Not meeting their quotas. But I haven't seen much reported on the perhaps most important question.

Why are recruiters using such desperate tactics? What could possibly motivate them to act so crazy? Surely a job performace review will take into account the fact that no one wants to get their head blown off in Iraq. What could possibly motivate a man to reult to such underhanded tactics?

And I found out the answer.

They don't want to die. Read More

Today is my birthday. I am now 29 years old. 29...not an incredibly exciting birthday. Nothing significant happens with the number 29. There's no adrenaline rush like when you turn 16 and can legally drive like a maniac (and then proceed to get pulled over for running a stop sign.) There's no euphoria like when you pray for someone to ID you when you buy that giant bottle of southern comfort, just so you can show them that you have indeed turned 21. There's no thrill like when you turn 25, hitting that quarter century mark, enabling you to rent a car more cheaply (the little things impress me folks.) And there is no absolute horror like when you turn the big 3-0 and realize it's all downhill from there. 29. Seriously boring. Read More

Hey Kossacks. I'm manning the complaint line in southern Florida for ACT and in the last two hours we have been receiving complaints from residents in Broward, Palm Beach and Ft. Lauderdale that they have received calls regarding a precinct change for their voting tomorrow. We need you to find all the news stations in our region in time for the 11:00 news. Please make clear that you only want them to notify Floridians that should they receive a call telling them that their polling place has changed that they should disregard it. Florida Kossacks should report any and all shenanigans they have bourne witness to as well. Here is the full complaint report from Voter Protect.

I'll start you off: WPTV NBC West Palm Beach News Room (561-653-5700.)

WPEC CBS Channel 12: 561-848-NEWS.

It would be awesome if you wouldn't mind notifying Air America as well. They can spread word to more Floridians to stop this madness. And please, reccomend the hell out of this diary, we need to crush them.

Back to the war room go I. Someone please take the lead here. We got them on the ropes. It's our time. GOTV, ya'll GOTV. Read More

Greetings, neighbors. I'm on the front lines in Florida, running the hotline that our canvassers and drivers call in to when they run into problems. Here are some of the highlights:

DIRTY NEWS

* In numerous afluent predominantly white gated communities throughout the region, the neighborhood association's presidents have been demanding that canvassers leave or they will call the police. Of course, our canvassers carry with them a delightful legal document, citing a supreme court ruling, Watchtower Bible and Tract Society Vs. Village of Stratton, 536 US 150, 162(2002). That's right, people, the Jehovah's Witnesses paved the way for us to Canvass. Mind you, both the police and the neighborhood security tend to ignore that and escort our people off their property anyways. Many of our canvassers also have legal backgrounds, thus emboldening them to take on most of these communities. Read More

Illinois Senate Debate
WLS-TV
Barack Obama , D, Illinois
Alan Keyes , R, Illinois

This is sure to be a humdinger of a debate, what with Keyes being totally deranged and all. Obama smacks him down and explains the finer points of governing through sanity.

Bon Appetite.

CO-4: Matsunaka Closes on Musgrave: 4 Points Separate Them!

I'm from Colorado, originally, so this is an issue close to my heart. A friend of mine there, working closely with a variety of campaigns has informed me of some great news about the internal polling there. Stan Matsunaka has moved within 4 points of Marilyn Musgrave, the fanatical right winger whose sole contribution to the greater good is writing the Federal Hate Amendment, according to Marilyn's internals. Apparently, she can't get above 45% support for re-election. She has 52% negatives. So with a little more help we can beat her. I've created a donation page over at ActBlue. I've included my whole pitch for Stan at CFA. Let's make this happen, people. If you've got an extra $50 laying around, toss it his way. It would be nice to bring this congress back to the middle, and eliminating Musgrave will be a great step in the right direction.

UPDATE: We already have $150 in donations! Thanks! Keep it coming!
