Update : From MyDD : Rightwing writer Peggy Noonan discussing the choice of Sarah Palin with Chuck Todd says off-camera ( MSNBC), "It's over."
The absurd GOP attempt to sell Gov. Sarah Palin (and former mayor of Wasilla, Alaska) and compare her intelligence and heft to that of Hillary Clinton is provoking a backlash from Hillary supporters.
Here is the text of an e-mail from a genuinely frightened Alaska resident making the rounds that began as a missive to her college classmates:
As an Alaskan, I am writing to give all of you some information on Sarah Palin, Senator McCain's choice for VP. As an Alaska voter, I know more than most of you about her and, frankly, I am horrified that he picked her. The most accurate description of her is red neck.
Her husband works in the oil fields of Prudhoe Bay and races snow mobiles. She is a life time member of the NRA and has worked tirelessly to allow indiscriminate hunting of wildlife in...

As you know, it’s incredibly rare that I crib someone else’s published piece wholesale and reprint it here. It has to be something I wish I’d written myself, something that makes a point I think needs to be heard far and wide, or both. Kathleen Parker -- the conservative columnist who may have provided the Cronkite-saying-Vietnam-can’t-be-won moment during the election when she admitted that Sarah Palin was unqualified to be vice president -- is once again taking a ballsy... more

Early this morning, lawmakers announced that they had agreed on a tentative plan to bailout financial firms . The Wall Street Journal reported an "exhausted" Treasury Secretary as saying, "I think we’re there," during a press conference with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Senator Christopher Dodd, and House FInancial Services Chairman Barney Frank--all top Democrats. Pelosi said, "We’ve made great progress. We have to get it committed to paper... more
Coming from a long line of farmers in my home county of Barbour, I have always had a soft spot in my heart for American farm families. I know first hand how tough life can be for farmers and their families. That’s why Senator John McCain’s recent comments opposing the Farm Bill were so disturbing. McCain came out in strong opposition to the bill, saying “I don’t support agricultural subsidies no matter where they are. The farm bill, $300 billion, is something America simply can’t a... more

We all know Mike Huckabee, Sam Brownback, Fred Thompson, and Tom Tancredo are conservatives. Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani, and John McCain also called themselves conservatives. Sometime in this past year I wrote about how the word conservative doesn’...... more

Okay, so John McCain is finally the President of Missouri , thanks to 3,000 people who couldn’t stay the fuck home on Election Day. THANKS, YOU GUYS. Now we’ll never be rid of McCain and his horrible Alaskan spouse with her stolen wardrobe and hillbilly-like crowd of pregnant, barefoot children. When they move to their Presidential mansion in Independence, will they sleep in the same bed with Joe the Plumber, all wearing little night caps like little cartoon ... more

Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State? You've probably been watching what seems to be interminable amounts of jousting between the two camps, Obama's and Clinton's. No other appointment in Obama's administration has taken this long after to complete, after it became public.... more
Just to let you all know where we were this morning -
We run in a set of servers in Minneapolis that is in a normally very reliable co-location site. This morning they seem to have had a huge power failure in the datacenter which took out almost all of their customers out. And our servers seem not to work very well without power for some reason.
Anyway, after a somewhat crazy morning of scrambling (and a LOT of coffee) out here in Cruiskeen Lawn/Uppity Wisconsin land, things ... more

Great news for Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Louis Butler: There is a pent-up demand among voters, who want to vote for a black man.Â
Who knew?
It wasn't until Mike Nichols, the Journal Sentinel's Ozaukee/Washington County columnist, pointed it out that it became obvious.
Nichols's column appeared almost two weeks ago, but I was afraid if I wrote about it earlier that the Butler campaign would quit working, knowing that his election on April 1 is inevitable.

Earth Hour From: uppitywis.org Post Date: 2008-03-28 11:46:29
Last year, in a program promoted by the World Wildlife Fund and Sydney, Australia, Sydney turned off all of its lights for one hour. The effort was an attempt to draw attention to responsible energy use and the issue of global warming.
This year the WWF is asking us to do so around the world. An hour of darkness doesn't seem too much to ask. If you'd like to participate, turn off your lights between 8 and 9 PM on Saturday, your own local time. Learn more from the Earth Hour we... more
