I'm referring to quitting smoking of course. Isn't it about that time of the year again when people resolve to do these things?

Why is this one going to be different? I finally found a combination that worked for me and I wanted to pass it on. First and foremost here, I will not make any money on this, am not here to endorse a particular brand or methodology. I just wanted to pass on what worked - and is continuing to work - for me.

Swapping the letters to JSM III from GWB and calling it change is just insanity

It's sometimes easy to lose the forest for the trees. When you're trying to dodge all the GOP planted land mines blowing up all around you. But let's not lose track of the fact that McCain is being guided by the same guys who have been complicit in all of these tax payer bombs and while the board pieces have changed, the MO's really haven't.

Most of this everyone here probably already knows. I'm just seeing the pieces put together in a different way as well as perspectives that we get from others.

As we've seen from Sirota's diary, we're seeing the Clinton superdelegates work a game of "Screw Democracy".

But I'm wondering who all the players are as well as potential players... am I'm wondering: are they perhaps from the rank and file of the DLC membership?

Hello all,

Like many of you, I participate in other communities and forums throughout the web. One that I belong to is on Pro Sound Web, where a bunch of musicians, recording engineers, mastering engineers, producers and mixes of the various mentioned. It's a great place for people who are interested in recording music and need help with Digital Recording.

One area that most people go to is the MARSH (Musician, Artist, Recordist Super-fine Hangout). The political wars happen in a forum specific for it call the Bbasement (the spelling is wrong on purpose and is an "inside joke" on the site). Read More

In reading Senator Kerry's diary - well, the comments really - it occurred to me that the free lesson given to us by Peter Daou may have been lost on us. We most certainly must have forgotten the mudslinging and any lessons that may have occurred when the "my issue first" 'discussions' were being held on this site.

It had to have been lost. The yabbuts came out in full force; "yabbut - the VOTES!", "yabbut - [insert gripe here]". I know people want their concerns voiced. I fully realize this. We were shown some things in the past couple of weeks that we haven't figured out how to work in our favor.

We scream "FOREST FOR THE TREES" when the other side can't seem to be able to connect all the dots and see the sum of the damage that this Culturally Corrupt Republican agenda has done to this country. We yell for our elected Democrat leaders to listen to us and to "DO SOMETHING!".

We are right to do so.

We have a chance here to see exactly where we're at when given the chance at Triangulation. Read More

Doesn't History provide the MO?

People are looking at the last several years like they're the only years that ever existed. We hear Republicans point to Clinton but the history only goes back to '98. The timeline seems to be: Clinton/Lewinski, Clinton 'Saddam Baaaaad' resolution, 9-11, Iraq War... (that's enough for this entry)

But the Neo-Con/Chickenhawk/Warmonger histories go back further.

They're mostly members of the "B-Team". I hope most of you have heard about that - if not, read on. Read More

I've read the arguments about why the party shouldn't HAVE to bring up ideas to fix the debacle(s).

'We're the opposition party.'

'They're in charge.'

'They have two if not all three of the branches of gov't.'

But what of those people who are PO'ed and have no direction to focus their energy? A direction by which to focus their anger in order to feel that what actions they take will matter instead of just reacting in anger at the failings of this Administration and the Republicans who repeatedly fail the US? People like to point out other's shortcomings in order to feel better about themselves, but they feel much better when there's accomplishment of something done correctly. Read More

I watched the speech tonight. I know some of the facts/numbers that were reported before the speech; The below the set wage pay opening he gave developers, the same for the relief workers, 200 billion dollars, the "rob Peter to pay Paul" probabilities where cuts in programs designed to fund the Army Corps of Engineers would be cut and then re-assigned to this relief effort where there can be a zero sum game while appearing to be doing something about the problem.

But the door was opened. It's not enough to keep the door pryed open with a foot - it's time to barge through it and ensure it doesn't close - that the doorway expands. Read More
