Sent to jetBlue today:

I wanted to inform you that I just booked 2 cross country flights on American Airlines for $298.80. I had loyally flown jet Blue for 3 years but after jetBlue cowered to Bill O’Reilly, a well documented liar and provocateur, and rescinded your sponsorship of YearlyKos 2007, as a patriotic American, I can no longer fly your airline in good conscience. Rather than quietly pass on your services, I feel it is my duty as a loyal American to highlight my choice in using another carrier to make sure that the significance of your sponsorship retraction is illuminated as yet another example of the continued erosion of our freedom and democracy and the irrational cowering to the rhetoric and smear tactics of the most odious characters of our national discourse.

UPDATE: The body of this diary is based on Senate rules that are outdated. Thanks to Hobbitfoot for directing me to comments on his/her previous diary that explain the matter succinctly. You may continue to read this as a rant in light of the aforementioned context. Blog on...

Today, the headline on CNN TV read that the Democrats failed a major test vote on Iraq by failing to pass a bill that would allow troops to have longer leave between combat deployments. The vote was lost by 4 votes. Not 46 votes in favor of the bill, but 56 votes in favor of ending debate on the bill. It was, in fact only 4 votes short of being filibuster-proof. So then there was a filibuster? Really. Well then where the hell was it?!

In 1957 a record was set. The Civil Rights Act of 1957 was on the Senate floor, an act that would guarantee African-American voting rights in the South. How horrid a prospect to an arch-racist and segregationist.

I've been slammed busy editing the CRASHING THE STATES film about the netroots but felt this was important enough to take a moment out to call to everyone's attention.

Tonight on Countdown with Keith Olbermann, former Nixon White House counsel John Dean called for the impeachment of Dick Cheney stating that Speaker Pelosi should reconsider her position on impeachment and start with Dick Cheney.

He also drew a contrast between the trumped up charges against Clinton to the real violations committed by Cheney.

I propose "THE HUNTING DOWN AND DEFEATING DANGEROUS AL-QAEDA TERRORISTS WHO ATTACKED US ON 9/11 ACT OF 2007"

Whereby the funding and resources from the Iraq occupation is redirected towards fighting "the al-Qaeda terrorists who attacked us on 9/11"

The first component of which is strategically REDEPLOYING the troops currently stationed in Iraq to areas of strategic interest OUTSIDE of IRAQ such as Afghanistan and abroad where the nebulous al-Qaeda terrorists who attacked us are gathering strength and organizing fueled by our disorganized and incompetent policy governing the occupation of Iraq.

I've been watching these `conservative' talk show hosts frame everything the Democrats intend to do as conciliatory towards Bush or "Bush-hating". And stupidly, almost all of the guests on "the left" are buying into the frame. What Democratic pundits need to realize and what the American people need to realize is the frame with which every action of the Democrats needs to be contextually set is LOVE FOR AMERICA.

Well, it's been a hell of a ride and we're finishing up the road trip portion of the project as we drive to Las Vegas and the Carter campaign. Over 9,000 miles through rain in Virginia, hail in Indiana, flooding in Texas, snow in Colorado, sleet in Montana, and cloudless blue skies in California. And through it all, we actually managed to capture, sync, edit, render and upload videos of many of our interviews.

As part of the Crashing the States project, our crew--including hekebolos (currently at the keyboard) and Reality Bites Back, are sitting in the gymnasium at Charles M. Russell High School--and the liveblogging of the Debate is about to commence!

It's a full house, and the audience is overwhelmingly pro-Tester. It's a great environment here in Montana.

This is also being broadcast on C-SPAN, if you can tune in.

Follow below the fold--the candidates have already been introduced! Read More

A few days ago, Crashing the States had the opportunity to go right to the middle of the Joe Sestak and Patrick Murphy campaigns. See hekebolos' diary for a recap. We caught up with Joe at a local church where he addressed an African American crowd in an economically depressed area. The church was a newer structure more akin to a community center than the transcept and nave churches we see filling towns in suburban Connecticut. The crowd was far from filling the church's several hundred seat capacity, however the audience was eager to ask Joe questions, and he responded with equal enthusiasm. They were concerned with Iraq, security issues and the exportation of jobs.

CRASHING THE STATES is off to a great start!

From Lamont to Tester to Courage to Webb, we're raring to go.

Already, we've been contacted by a number of campaigns and candidates eager to work with us and bloggers willing to help in a myriad of capacities. Thank you all so much for the donations many of you have already sent. They have enabled us to arrange some basic pre-production, as well as retain legal counsel to help guide us through a 'series of tubes' known as FEC regulations we'd like to follow so we don't get run over by the 'dump truck' of election law--and the best part is, our lawyer is a fellow Kossack! You've enabled us to get a GREAT start for this project, and we wouldn't be nearly where we are without your initial support.

So what the heck you guys want from me now? We'll tell ya... Read More

Stating that "he expected most Democratic officials to support the winner of the primary" and alluding to that as a `partisan thing', Lieberman then went on to suggest how he was able to close a 13 point gap with Lamont from a poll everyone knew to be an outlier, and now has Democrats, Independents and Republicans behind him.

He also declared that `so many Democrats don't just disagree with the President, they hate him the same way Republicans hated Clinton.' Of course there's a MASSIVE difference Joe just don't get...

If you voted for Bush, were eligible to vote and did not vote, or support Bush, then YES, you should pay for your own evacuation. You should pay for the cost of sending ships across the seas, for the wear and tear on the helicopters that will pick you up, for the medical expenses of any military personnel who are injured while picking you up, and for the funeral costs of any who are killed. If you voted against Bush... the government of the United States should pay.

Well how is this fair you ask? Simple...
