Wow. Jason Alexander...

Well, Jason Alexander certainly "gets it", and is trying to spread the word in his own inimitable way. Kudos to him.

I couldnt read the text from Lott at the end, otherwise it was great to see George Costanza again. I always liked that guy.

Might as well laugh as cry....

Thanks, Mr. Alexander.

I applaud Congress on their pedestrian legislative successes, but they are failing miserably at what the people put them there to do; namely, stop the Iraq war and stop Bush's constitutional transgressions. The poublic will rightfully view Congress as part of the problem, along with bushCo, so long as they do not stop the war and they do not stop the unconstituional corruption evidenced by Gonza and FISA.

Why won't the Dems do something that really matters? The answer is the dems and the repubs are the same, working for the same goal.

It is funny to watch this blog and others of its ilk play this rah-rah dem bullshit while the Dems fall flat on their face on FISA. Interesting timing.

They will never serve the people because they have been in on it from the beginning. to blame rove is just utterly silly. if the dems were so upset by all these jokers not showing up on the hill, they would REALLY do something. But they cant because well the are just as fucking crooked. America has fully swung to the right, and the tele and PR madness that spews from it will keep us here. We have reached nirvana,, a compliant cooperate fascist state that people like to call "democracy." The federal government has been successfully reduced to a giant utter that the major defense contractors and lovers of death can nurse on while their mouth pieces scream about how terrifying socialism is.

"Liberating Iraq Bush Style"

1 hour, 4 minutes ago

BAGHDAD - Iraq's power grid is on the brink of collapse because of insurgent sabotage, rising demand, fuel shortages and provinces that are unplugging local power stations from the national grid, officials said Saturday.

"We no longer need television documentaries about the Stone Age. We are actually living in it. We are in constant danger because of the filthy water and rotten food we are having," said Hazim Obeid, who sells clothing at a stall in the Karbala market.

Kind of stoopid and fun... kind of powerful. My kid ran out of the room when Constanzamort jumped out>:[

Rove did not, for one second, stand in the way of A SINGLE DEMOCRATIC SENATOR from standing up and refusing to yield.

Any one of them could have stopped this war.

Any one of them could have stopped the FISA bill from giving Alberto Gonzalez even more power.

The film is cute, but it does NOT reveal the secret. It cannot because there is no secret anymore.

The truth is in and it has to hurt: They are all a bunch of cowards and political hacks.

Serenity Now! Serenity Now!

True and scary.
Paper ballots for all!
Way to go Jason!
I feel good about this country again.

I think Newman's behind this whole thing. Newman!

Thank you Jason! That was funny as hell...."No progress in congress" LMAO!

brilliant!

Bradley Jones makes some excellent points.

It's Time We Talk About The Attack On Congressional And Senatorial Democrats

The video said a lot I could not, before now, put into words. With only eight months in their leadership role, there is a force destroying the efforts of the Democratic Party. The Republicans see big losses in 2008, so they have "taken off the gloves" and begun to fight like they were fighting for their very existence. The Republicans control two three branches of power: The unofficial media, the executive and the judiciary.

Unlike anytime I can remember, the Republicans own the press, and they serve to mis-characterize Democratic representatives, support Bush's wild assertions, and coordinate with the president to maximize their efforts against the Democrats. At every turn, the media is becoming ever more conservative as they compete for Fox's title of the most conservative cable TV network. CNN and MSNBC all highlight conservatives causes all day long. This fact has forced the Democrats and the far left to the Blogs and the internet for their campaign adds. In short, the media is wilding a lot of power for the Republicans and the Bush administration.

Have you ever wondered what the overthrow of our government would look like? Would it be a slow process -- slowly disregarding the core constitutional laws of our country by a president -- by which the use of executive privilege is the primary tool used to initiate the overthrow process? Would the funding for such a project be masked in a eight Billion, we don't know where the money went, dollar write off involving the Iraqi war? One law here; another law there, and before you know it, you have a subtle dictatorship. Think about the times we are in as I note this comment. The executive branch is too powerful and will not except any checks to its powers. This fact sounds like a DICTATORSHIP, and the worst could be yet to come. Bush has made Democratic congressmen look like puppets that he adjust by pulling strings. Bush's biggest ally is his Party. Right now they are obstructing every legislative attempt by Democrats only to call them a do nothing congress later. Hell, this has worked so good some of the Democrats own members are calling themselves losers. The Democrats never scene this move coming and still cannot see the dynamics surrounding their leaders.

When the Democrats do get fed up with this president's manipulation and power grabbing tactics, they have hope the courts -- the supreme court -- will make the laws of the land prevail. This branch of government is important to the scheme of things, but not the absolute force affecting the power dynamics everyday. When they do weight in on things, it will become evident why Bush stacked the courts. If Bush were to be charged with any crimes it will become very evident why the courts were stacked. Still, I hold a bit of hope for this branch to say enough is enough and not let our country be destroyed by anybody for any reason.

Another ass kissing example from the Hollywood left to the Dems'..shameful;and Hollywood wonders why they lose more and more money each year

How is that, where your figures?

I didn't know Hollywood wonders why they are losing money? I have seen nothing in any report that political views were effecting the monetary gross of sales of Hollywood film.

Al Gore and Micheal Moore film had great ratings and sales, and seem to support the opposite of your views. Live Earth was a huge event, and 70% of the people are now against Bush. It would therefore seem that bashing the loyal Bushies would be the popular money making ride to be on. Humor and horror has to be near the top of movie trend as more people want to escape the reality of this country. Combine horror or comedy with the political snarkism would be the best ticket for sales in this country now!

So that's why some of the Democratic Congress can't just say no to Bush.

It is good to see someone of prominence expressing how they feel about the attack on our Constitution.

paul @ 33:

Really pathetic. Do we really need to make Rove into a type of cartoonish Satan to make a point? Why not just have him laughing diabolically and drooling blood. Really childish.

By the way, if Rove is so frickin brilliant (I always thought him either over rated or an idiot), how did he bring a president's approval rating from 90 to 25 percent?

Maybe the real question is, "How did he do that without getting Bush Impeached?"

Don't forget; every statewide office held by a Republican in Texas in the 1990's was orchestrated by Karl Rove.

Every last one.

I'm SLOWLY starting to see on the blogs a group voicing what I feel.

They is all crooked, and they all are paid and bought for by the same corps.

Paid and bought for by the same lobbyists.

And it's all there and for the googling and reading, and it's not new news.

Dem's. Pub's. All equeally compliant, and guilty of all the things that have been said of them.

I'm delighted the BLOGS are FINALLY catching up to this . . . for a while, the pseudo progressives were really fuckin depressing me with their continued support and capitulation to, the same forces the lobbyists represent . . money.

Unfortunately, a HUGE social change in the nature of our politics, and adherence to the Constitution, and seperation of powers, is impossible.

So plan for the worst, and expect it.

Take yer money, if you HAVE any, outta the market, cuz it's on it's way belly up.

And I'm not sure, any investments to gold/silver will help.

Once the econ house of cards collapses, it's all gone.

Trading gold for food or water won't wash, I don't think.

Rufus T. Firefly @ 39:

The dems cannot vote as a group like the repubs and as a result they are a fucking failure as a group. I do not give a shit what they are planning, at this point in the game it is about results and they have produced no meaningful results.

Words cannot express my frustration with the Democratic Party following their compliance with Bush's FISA program expansion request. Its time WE PROGRESSIVES TAKE OFF THE GLOVES and take the Democratic party back to the people. Pitch in for progressive challengers in the primaries and kick the Blue Dog Dempublican shitheads out!!
