An article to today's Wash Post exploring the "just oppose" strategy of congressional Republicans to the stimulus notes they were emboldened to act by, quote, "dozens of emails and phone calls" opposing the stimulus.

That's right - "dozens." You know, I get a dozen emails at work before I even finish breakfast. But of course, I'm not an important member of the House of Representatives.

Hear me now, and hear me well--keep thinking that those dozens of contacts really represent the will of the American people. Keep thinking that Rush Limbaugh is an appropriate spokesperson for your party. And please, keep pissing off immigrants, pregnant women, and just about anyone who isn't currently sporting a penis, driving a truck and wearing a John Deere hat. You will make the task of creating a lasting progressive majority that much simpler.
