joke of the day comes via dscc and they put russ feingold's name to it so he can front their ugly policy:
Everywhere I go, I hear the same thing. From Wisconsin to Texas, from California to Alabama, I hear from people who want the Democrats to stand up and speak out.
We hear you loud and clear.
Even though Republicans have total control of the levers of power in Washington, we've had victories preventing some of the worst of this administration's agenda. When they wanted to privatize Social Security, every single Democrat in the Senate stood firm in opposition and we won.
Remember, despite more than 10 attempts to allow oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Democrats lead the efforts to defeat this short-sighted proposal every single time.
Still, it's not nearly enough.
To achieve the vision for America we all share, we simply must take back the Senate in November. I am more confident than ever that we will do just that. The American people know how badly this administration has mismanaged our country. The latest polls that show our Senate candidates can win prove it.
Make no mistake. It won't be easy. Republican incumbents hold significant fundraising advantages over our Democratic challengers. Each of us has to do our part to help the DSCC make up the difference.
You can help elect Democratic Senators who will stand up and speak out by making a contribution today. If you are frustrated with business as usual in Washington, then we need your help to make a change.

click where? somewhere the hell else. we don't collect money for backstabbers here and that's what the dscc and the party leadership is. if there's a candidate you like, give to her or him, but i took a pledge some time ago not to give a cent to the dscc. why? because they turned their back on roe v. wade. they elbowed out a real democratic candidate to run for the senate seat in penn (the 1 that rick santorum currently occupies) so that they could inflict junior on us.
junior's father was a disgrace and junior's twice the disgrace because he's just a pale copy of daddy. daddy's little junior boy, never made it to manhood.
the dscc tells you that 'Democrats have always believed in common sense solutions' which apparently translates as stab your core in the back.
so they can go screw themselves and their laughable e-mails.
they stood strong?
am i mistaken or did they refuse to filibuster alito or roberts?
they don't know what strength is, they couldn't even support feingold's censure motion. they're a cowardly, craven bunch that's disgraced themselves. every 1 up for re-election was in the senate when bully boy wanted his war with iraq. that's something to remember.
every 1 was in the senate when the patriot act passed and when it was reauthorized. and, as matthew rothschild of the progressive has pointed out, nancy pelosi's already pulled impeachment off the table.
call me a dixie chick, but i'm not ready to make nice.
did you get the dixie chicks today? i did. tracey and jayson came over right after school (i'm watching ruth's grandson elijah) and we went out on what we thought would be a quick trip. wrong. every one was sold out. we finally found a music store and they had copies. i also picked up a copy for mike because i knew he was buying a copy for nina and doubted he'd get 1 for himself. it's called taking the long way.
on elijah, sherry asked if his father lived at ruth's? no. i'm sorry, that's my bad writing. when he's giving me a tour and saying 'this is daddy's room,' elijah's showing me what was his father's room when he was growing up. that's his favorite room after the living room. he won't go into ruth's room and ruth said that's probably because she's gone.
she gets back thursday and tonight offered to come back a day early to take care of the doctor's appointment elijah has tomorrow but i told her to enjoy her vacation. we've had a blast, elijah and i. after he warmed up to me the 1st day, there haven't been any real problems. except, if he's really tired before nap time and i'm near by or picking him up, he will try to get a kick in. ruth said to stick out my tongue at him (like some 1, we all think cedric, taught him) and he'll stick out his tongue and not kick but sometimes i forget to do that.
