I came across the most amazing piece of analytical political commentary today on of all places, Atlanta Craigslist. I voted it a 'best of' and replied to the poster.

The strange thing is that yesterday I posted a diary entry about my response to DCCC fundraising in Nancy Pelosi's name. I included the letter I sent to Nancy and described what I called the "Corrupt Coin" of United States governance. Dems on one side and Repubs on the other. This posting describes the coin of corruption and why we are all so frustrated and well, crazy. Read on it is worth it.

I received my Dear Friend letter today from Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi begging for money to fight BushCo in the mid-term elections. You can actually get a "fighting donkey" pin with a "gift" of $25 or more.

I am utterly disillusioned with the Democratic Party and their pathetic performance in the face of partisan wrongdoing in a state governed by Bush's brother that cost poor Al the 2000 election. Also deeply troubling is the embarrassing surrender by John Kerry in the face of election results that defy logic and mathematical probability.

The following is an open letter (that I did send) to Congresswoman Pelosi. The beginning of the letter was; "Do you really want to be told the truth?"
