I went as a volunteer for Edwards, I handed David Bonoir a personal check for $2,000. I left wishing I had given it to Kucinich.

I had to sell my YearlyKos registration because I have to work. So I just had the bright idea to bring the convention to me. well, maybe a small part anyways.

I knew Peter Beinart was a schmutz, but I didn't know how bad. In a letter to congressional leaders yesterday, Beinart joined with members of the Project for a New American Century (those wonderful folks who brought us thus far into FUBAR Iraq), in calling for an increase of troop recruitment of 25,000 annually. Ya know, you just can't have a "generational commitment" w/o an estimated call up of 250,000 in five years.
