Today is for giving thanks.  It is also the release of Bobby.  

Many of us salivate over every crumb of courage elected Democrats drop on our plates. Let us remember another dire time in our history -- when many Democrats had gone astray and we were fighting in another hopeless, death-filled quagmire.

Bobby should remind us what bravery means -- to see war, poverty and injustice and reject political expediency and selfish, fear-laden excuses to try and stop it.

This story is going to dominate the media, and Joe can spin this hard.

Of course is makes sense that this is a non-story to us.  But the media and general public have an infinite capacity to swallow bullshit.

But this story can be killed, right now Ned Lamont just shuts his website or displays joe's google cache in a sign of solidarity with Joe Lieberman.

I want nothing more than to see Joe Lieberman gargle on his old-man mucus while conceding this race to Ned Lamont

NedLamont.com isn't going to change voters minds in these final hours, but HardBall and the corporate media can.

Not only that, Joe is going to use this as an excuse in his independent run.

There's no better strategy to rip this excuse from his hands and turn this story into a huge boost for Ned.

This isn't capitulation, this is taking Joe's stick away from him and beating him to a pulp with it.

Ned Lamont could still put campaign contact information up but at lease mirror Joe's so he doesn't have this to attack us during the last six hours and the next three months!

Sadly, my opponent has done his best to distort my record, spending at least $4 million of his own money to mislead people into thinking that I am someone I am not.

Joe, you know records are distorted through the obfuscation of numbers. Yet you revel in it.  You decry Lamont "voting with Republicans 80% of the time" while bragging about your "90%" Democratic agreement.  You use those numbers to mask the import (or lack thereof) of the votes they represent.

Ned Lamont does not distort your record.  He says you are wrong about Iraq and the major issues of the day.  He then systematically lists those issues and claims you are wrong about issues A, B and C.   That's a critique, not "distortion"

You are now distorting distortion.

We plan to use this list to rally lethargic voters this November.

Hopefully, if we get enough volunteers, we'll have a Flash version by November as well.

Signs you have an Errant Government http://www.errantgovernment.com

• Republican Leaders of both houses are under criminal investigation.
• Bush appoints evangelical Christian Dr. David Hager to the FDA's panel on women's health. Although staunchly opposed to pre-marital sex and abortion, Hager would anally rape his sleeping wife after she suffered bouts of narcolepsy. Ms. Hager never complained, just took the large piles of money off the dresser the next morning. When these allegations finally surfaced, Hager, a gynecologist, claimed that he missed. Meanwhile, Dr. Hager has single-handedly blocked over-the-counter sales of the morning-after pill from being legal because of his strong, Christian values.

This is the first serious presidential prospect to take this stand.  

If we want a candidate in 2008 that will want to end this war, we need to show support and do so with the full force of our keyboards and wallets.  

When a Democrat acts like a Democrat, we need to pony up and put our money where our mouths are.

Now, I know the blogosphere has abandoned Russ Feingold now that he's going through a divorce and is no longer electable.

I'm sorry, but it's asinine to think that people too morally righteous to vote for a divorcee would vote for a woman married to a man who's adultery is known throughout the planet.   People so judgmental that they wouldn't vote for a divorced man aren't going to vote for a woman or a Democrat at all, unless we give them the anti-gay, pro-war and pro-business Biden/McCain ticket that in our sick, twisted state of political discourse is a potential Democratic ticket.
