The Admiral and Me

I've been doing volunteer work for Admiral Joe Sestak, who is running for Senate here in PA. He's trying to mount a come from behind win over uber-conservative Pat Toomey. I managed to get this shot at a rally in Media, last Sunday. After trailing for most of the race, Sestak has pulled it into a dead heat.

PA Kills Anti-gay marriage law.

Thanks to you and your hard work the Pennsylvania State Senate Judiciary Committee just voted 8-6 to table SB 707!  SB 707 is the bill to amend the PA Constitution to ban same sex marriage.  This is a huge victory for us, since the vote effectively kills the bill.

This is your victory.  We had over 120,000 emails sent to senators, over 75,000 in the last 24 hours!  In addition, our allies and friends generated thousands more phone calls, emails and letters.

We should celebrate, but we need to remain vigilant.  It is unlikely, but it is possible that the bill could come to life again.  Especially if they think we aren't going to act again.

Please encourage your friends and family to join us at www.keystoneprogress.org

Also, help us maintain our network with your financial contribution.  Any amount can help.  You can donate at  http://www.keystoneprogress.org/page/contribute/kspdonate

Congratulations on your incredible victory.

4 Cops are DEAD because Mike Huckabbe hated the Clintons

Pressure for the release of Dumond from jail began long before Huckabee became governor. For nearly a decade, conservative activists in Arkansas had painted Dumond as a tragic victim of Bill Clinton's power-hungry machinations. Ashley Stevens, Dumond's rape victim, was Clinton's distant cousin. Within Republican circles, the logic was that if they were to regain political power, it would be through lashing out against rulings like Dumond's.

Keeping America Stupid: Dept of Irony

While I am sure this Texan asshat woun't recognize irony if it hit him over the head with an I-Beam, the ridiculousness of his complaint merits this repost from the Wall Street Journal. 'Cause, y'know, big government spending is tyranny and public transportation is, y'know, socialist. So why didn't you spend more gubernmt money on...oh WAIT...we don't like gubment! Unless we think we want somethin'...And dang, we teabaggers had to pay more money to use, like, those capialist taxies! Damn your facist trains!

Tea Party Protesters Protest D.C. Metro Service

Brody Mullins reports on money and politics.

Protesters who attended Saturday’s Tea Party rally in Washington found a new reason to be upset: Apparently they are unhappy with the level of service provided by the subway system.

Rep. Kevin Brady asked for an explanation of why the government-run subway system didn’t, in his view, adequately prepare for this past weekend’s rally to protest government spending and government services.

Seriously.

The Texas Republican on Wednesday released a letter he sent to Washington’s Metro system complaining that the taxpayer-funded subway system was unable to properly transport protesters to the rally to protest government spending and expansion.

“These individuals came all the way from Southeast Texas to protest the excessive spending and growing government intrusion by the 111th Congress and the new Obama administration,” Brady wrote. “These participants, whose tax dollars were used to create and maintain this public transit system, were frustrated and disappointed that our nation’s capital did not make a great effort to simply provide a basic level of transit for them.”

A spokesman for Brady says that “there weren’t enough cars and there weren’t enough trains.” Brady tweeted as much from the Saturday march. “METRO did not prepare for Tea Party March! More stories. People couldn’t get on, missed start of march. I will demand answers from Metro,” he wrote on Twitter.

Brady says in his letter to Metro that overcrowding forced an 80-year-old woman and elderly veterans in wheelchairs to pay for cabs. He concludes that it “appears that Metro added no additional capacity to its regular weekend schedule.

Because Government can't get anything right:

This morning I was awoken by my alarm clock powered by electricity generated by the public power monopoly regulated by the U.S. Department of Energy. I then took a shower in the clean water provided by a municipal water utility.

After that, I turned on the TV to one of the FCC-regulated channels to see what the National Weather Service of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration determined the weather was going to be like, using satellites designed, built, and launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

I watched this while eating my breakfast of U.S. Department of Agriculture inspected food and taking the drugs which have been determined as safe by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

At the appropriate time, as regulated by the U.S. Congress and kept accurate by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the U.S. Naval Observatory, I get into my National Highway Traffic Safety Administration - approved automobile and set out to work on the roads build by the local, state, and federal Departments of Transportation, possibly stopping to purchase additional fuel of a quality level determined by the Environmental Protection Agency, using legal tender issued by the Federal Reserve Bank.

On the way out the door I deposit any mail I have to be sent out via the U.S. Postal Service and drop the kids off at the public school, and return some books to the public library.

After spending another day not being maimed or killed at work thanks to the workplace regulations imposed by the Department of Labor and the Occupational Safety and Health administration, enjoying another two meals which again do not kill me because of the USDA, I drive my NHTSA car back home on the DOT roads, to my house which has not burned down in my absence because of the state and local building codes and Fire Marshal's inspection, and which has not been plundered of all its valuables thanks to the local police department.

I will sign up for Social Security and Medicare on the very first day I am eligible. I will ensure that all my assets are placed in the names of my wife or children so that the state and federal government -- through Medicaid -- can support me in a nice private room in a nursing home for the last five or six years of my life, without sacrificing a dime of my children's inheritances.

And then I log on to the Internet -- which was developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Administration -- and post on Freerepublic. com and Fox News forums about how SOCIALISM in medicine is BAD because the government can't do anything right. Especailly since Medicare consistently keeps administrative costs at 3% while for insurance companies it is 11%++

Keeping America Stupid; SC Divison

There must be something in the water for them South Caroliner Politicos. First there was Governor Mark Sanford, who gave new meaning to Appalcian Trail. He had an affair and now he won't shut up about it. There's his second in command, Lt . Gov. Andre Bauer, who just might be having affairs with men, and he won't talk about it. Other than to deny it without being prompted. A lot. And then there's this freak of nature:

Meet South Carolina Republican Rep. Joe Wilson, the man who will now live on in YouTube infany for being the utter jackass who squealed "You lie!" when President Obama firmly denied any Free Illegal Immigrant Health Care was in his Health Care reform bill. While watching the President give his speech, when I heard the shout from the crowd, my first thought was if there were any civilian spectators who had opened up a protest. But no. It was bona fide elected evidence that not only should abortion remain legal, it should be extended into the 89th trimester. If there was ever a living, breathing, vomiting piece of proof that the Republican Party has zero interest in Bi-Partisan Heath Care legislation, this man is it. We won't even go into liklihood of Wilson's subliminal racism.

On a positive note, soon after Mr Wilson's extraordinary show of how out of touch the Rebuplican party is circa 2009, his web site had crashed, he had taken a beating on his Twitter page and Democrat Rob Miller had raised thousands of unexpected dollars online for a possible rematch with Wilson in next year's midterm elections, according to Lachlan McIntosh, Miller's campaign manager. In the eight hours since Wilson's outburst, former-Marine Rob Miller has received nearly 3,000 individual grassroots contributions raising approximately $100,000, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee said. So sometimes, the system works.

It really is this simple.

I believe that no one should die because they cannot afford health care, and no one should go broke because they get sick. If you agree, please post this as your status for the rest of the evening / Labor Day weekend......
