I did a Search of the last two weeks of DailyKos a few minute ago, looking for stories and diaries that contained the keyword "birther."

There were 270.

This is insane. This is something that must have the neo-cons laughing out loud with pure delight.

Because the real "birther" conspiracy is working exactly as planned.

I just went to Hufpo and they are reporting that the public option is gone. There has been "compromise." Having already lost single payer, we are now left with the "co-op."

Just about anything printed that passes before my eyes gets read. I had just made my weekly grocery run at Wal-Mart and was pumping gas at the onsite station, Murphy USA, when I noticed a litte tear-off pad on the gas pump, that read "HELP KEEP ENERGY COSTS LOW AND ENSURE THAT THE PRICES OF THE PAST DO NOT BURDEN OUR FUTURE." (The caps and bolding are Murphy's, not mine.)

Well, I can support that. No one wants energy prices to soar. But what caught my eye was a FAST FACT printed in another corner of the tear-off sheet.

Nope, as a private company, they can say what they want.

Nope, because no one will read those tearoff sheets anyway.

Nope, they're a gas company. What do you expect?

Yes, just to be fair.

Yes, because someday, when the gas runs out, they'll find themselves selling windmills.

I don't care, as long as they get rid of the talking gas pumps!

No good deed goes unpunished. And no bank overlooks any opportunity to rake in fees. Who cares if the customer is left high and dry?

I'm moving fast towards the "big banks will get my tax money over my cold, dead body" side of the aisle. Why?

I'm 57 years old. I have learned to work my way around "the tubes" though, at times, as I've squinted over the top of my $2 reading glasses at Wikipedia entries trying to figure out the damn vocabulary, my little pointy head has started to ache.

I'll get to my point below the fold. Just give me a minute...remember, us older folks don't type as fast.

This morning started like the last few Sunday mornings, with my latest handmade Obama sign in shreds. The kids, drunks or whoever it is that drives my rural Texas road on Saturday nights had again expressed their political opinions in the crudest possible way. But no problem; my signs are individual sheets of paper, each printed with one letter--O,B,A,M,A--that I color blue with diluted craft paint and string on twine. Ten minutes work to replace.

Dear Senator McCain:
You seem to feel you can cut taxes for everyone.

This, in a time of war, when a huge amount of our yearly federal budget goes to pay the interest--just the interest, sir--on our national debt, and when the financial and regulatory incompetence of the Bush Adminstration has just saddled us with a monstrous new "rescue" debt.

It would be wonderful, Senator, if we could cut taxes significantly for everyone. I'll leave it to you. With all your disdain for the workings of the Federal government--which you have been a part of for the last 26 years--what would you like to eliminate? What do you propose we cut? Because, Senator, just cutting earmarks--less than 2% of the budget--won't be nearly enough.

I went over to RedState a few minutes ago, and found that they are chortling over an article in the National Enquirer claiming that Obama's childhood mentor, poet Frank Marshall Davis, is a pedophile and pervert.

I'm exhausted, not physically, but mentally and psychologically.

For the last five hours solid, I've been refuting neocon propaganda, sent to me as gospel truth by a number of my online friends. These are basically good people, but--Dear God--why don't they ever think?

The Democrats in Congress can come out looking like heroes if they frame this wrangle properly.

That is, if they tell the actual truth.

Why are there now rumors of Palin "suspending" as well?

I know it makes perfect sense, because she'd be hopeless on her own...but
think about it....

....why would anyone blow off even just two or three days of campaigning with less than six weeks to go, when every minute counts? Retooling the campaign I can understand, keeping Palin's idiocy under wraps I can understand, but suspending the ads?

The current bailout of Wall Street is the result of governmental policies that have created the antithesis of true capitalism.

Capitalism is based on the self-regulating tendencies of a risk/reward ratio. Entrepreneurs who must risk their own capital will tend to exercise a certain degree of caution; those don't do this will fail and lose what they invest in the way of money, time and effort. An analogy is what happens in the natural world; any animal who fails to balance the need to feed with an appropriate degree of caution will, in a world full of predators, die quickly.
