Bachman Burner Overdrive


Needless to say the appearance of Congresswoman Michelle Bachman (MN-06) on Hardball Friday night pissed me off as well as some "others".  I've been looking around all night at this thing and something the good congresswoman didn't ever dream of  has happened.
The netroots got Really Pissed.

Her opponent,  Elwyn Tinklenberghad was adopted some folks at KOS , and it went around the horn as fast as anything the Dean Campaign ever dreamed of.
Tinklenberghad has had $ 100,000 pour in to the Act Blue pages in 12 hours. He's raising money faster than Jerry Lewis.

Digby has picked up the torch as well as the first folks at KOS .

Now we all know how vain "Tweety" is , and we all know he does a feature called the "Big Number" on his show at the bottom of the hour. Soo let's give him a real big number for Monday.

Spread out, ask other sites to post on this , it's not like it's starting from Zero, we got a $ 100,000  head start.  And if you need more encouragement consider this :

A day earlier at a debate in St. Cloud with her Democratic opponent, Elwyn Tinklenberg, Bachmann spoke kindly of Obama.

"If the presidency would somehow go to Barack Obama, I would welcome him to the 6th District as well," Bachmann said after the debate. "As a matter of fact, I would put my hand on his shoulder and give him a kiss if he wanted to" - a reference to when Bachmann gained notoriety for grabbing President Bush's shoulder after his 2007 State of the Union address and holding on until he kissed her.

Calling General Powell


I know they used you, we all know how you were used. We all know these men and women of low character hid behind your honor, and reputation . But now is the time for you to come to the service of your country one last time. Now is the time for redemption General. Now is the time to speak up for Obama.

The Death of the 20th Century


The events that define and breath life into  a century, don't fit into the metrics of time keeping.  The 20th century wasn't born in 1900 , it's birth was in the 1880's with the invention of the light bulb.  The 19th century didn't  pass on in 1900, the Polish cavalry  took to the field in 1939 against German tanks. Events overlap. The 21st century was born two decades ago with the rise of the PC, and one of the death throes of the 20th has been happening for a year now.

I've thought for several years now that the second Iraq War was more about preserving the 20th century than protecting America.
I assure you that if Iraq had salad dressing buried under it rather than crude oil we wouldn't be fighting there. Now this hellish debt bomb  has blown away everything of importance.

John McCain wants to build 45 new nuclear reactors ( A very 20th century item), don't worry we'll never do it.  Because those things run 5 to 7 Billion dollars a piece, and only governments can pay for them. They'll have compete for resources with those 600 Million dollar drilling rigs John wants to buy.  All of which have a delivery time of 5 to 10 years.
The "do it all" idea died  2 weeks ago with that 20th century debt bomb.
We will all have to begin making tough choices from now on.
