OK. This is where I get off.

I suppose this might end up with a GBCW tag on it, but that's not really true. I'll be back.

Now, I have never registered as a Democrat. I usually skip the primary votes, simply because I don't care. I'm pulling the lever for whomever wins the Democratic nomination anyway.

But after the public humiliation of Pete Stark, I'm just too embarassed. As of right now I will not work for anybody's campaign in 2008. I'm not giving any money.

There is no Democratic party. Nothing that I recognize anyway.

Let's go way back to 2004 for a moment.

Fallujah was burning. The corpses of four (ahem) mercenaries were desecrated, receiving worldwide attention. (Probably only because there were pictures.) Our esteemed proprietor made an infamous, somewhat ill-considered remark in a comment (not on the front page). Various bloggers made a stink, completely in bad faith. It turned into a shitstorm.

It even got to the point where the Kerry campaign de-linked the Great Orange Satan.

Fast forward to Bill O'Reilly's handwaving from yesterday....

In a written statement Wednesday, Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska said the "honesty and capability" of the attorney general must be unquestioned, and that Gonzales "can no longer meet this standard." (Full story)

Minnesota's Norm Coleman became the sixth Republican to call for Gonzales to go. His spokesman, Leroy Coleman, told CNN the senator was angered by revelations that the former U.S. attorney in Minneapolis had been on a Justice Department list for dismissal as part of a shakeup that has stirred up a firestorm on Capitol Hill.

Three other GOP senators have called for Gonzales to resign: Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, John McCain of Arizona and John Sununu of New Hampshire. McCain is running for president; Hagel is considering a run.

Another Republican, Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts, suggested to The Associated Press on Wednesday that Gonzales should consider stepping down: "When you have to spend more time up here on Capitol Hill instead of running the Justice Department, maybe you ought to think about it."

I don't usually do these, but this particular poll jumped out at me and utterly shocked me....I'll delete this if it's not substantive enough....but the CNN.com front page poll goes like this....

Apparently this is related to this article. Disgusting that it's running 3-1 against, I'm flabbergasted that that many racists are able to read, let alone use a computer....

A simple thought, re: impeachment.

The Bush Admin. collectively was at war with Iraq even before they were elected. Once they had (illegitimately) ascended to power, they decided to destroy as much of it as they could, for reasons that historians will have to sort out.

Then-chief of staff Andy Card famously blurted out that "from a marketing point of view, you don't introduce new products in August," which I was thinking about just now and it nicely dovetails with the recent, sudden explosion of the US Atty scandal....

Hey, Joe. Nice to meet you. My name isn't really nota bene, but you'll just have to deal with that.

Here's a copy of a comment I'm submitting at Swampland, in response to this unbelievably obnoxious post. Earlier today, Joe posted this charming little entry. So I'm reproducing what I'm going to post there, in case it doesn't get past the comment moderators.

Up and at em, boys and girls. Today is going to be a GOOD DAY.

I'm filling in for a poll watcher in the morning and doing last-minute knocking on doors for McCaskill in the evening. Sometime around 2:00 or so I'll get a chance to eat lunch and VOTE. I did not sleep well last night--too excited. The weather should be very nice today here, upper 60s and sunny. Right now it's mid-40s and cloudy.

So let's hear it--where are you and what are you doing to help Democrats GOTFV today? Read More

OK. It's November 3rd. T minus 4 days and counting. This post over at Gilliard's got me thinking....

Let's review all the Republican/conservative malfeasance of the last two years--just since the 04 election. I want a comprehensive catalog of people who are going to jail, face legal jeapordy, have lost their jobs, etc. And I want links too.

I'll get it started, and if I miss any, or if there are some nifty links that I left out, add them in comments. Here goes....

Been thinking.

We've known for a long time that George Bush et al are not conservatives; at least, not in the pre-2000 senses of that word. We've known they were radicals since, if not before, their response to 9/11. They are definitely radicals.

Think about it. Under six long years of Bush we've seen:
