funny. I find myself hoping you don't go for the 30-fecta, even though if you do, RT will kick you off the board and I'll have no competition for most beloved. Go figure that.










of course, then my 23-fecta internet record will be broken

What do you think of these folks? A lot of them post on DU and KOS:



I personally think I would have beaten one to death with a club if I was back in NYC yesterday.

I am only responding to this because I think RT has you on ignore and I want her to see the trouble you are trying to incite.

RT, please add this to my points tally for the "Most Helpful" poster race.

I thought Chafee had a decent shot of holding the seat against Whitehouse.

Engaging in that sort of activity probably decreases their chances of reproducing, which is a good thing.

Why "had"? I thought Chafee won? Let me check the NYTimes again, maybe it was Jayson Blair's byline....

eta: Once Bush gets over 50% approval rating, I think we may gain seats. Ultimately Chafee could be expendable...

How do you explain Seattle's rising population?

I thought the last polls I heard about showed Chafee will have a shot against Whitehouse. Especially if he takes credit for deep-sixing Ambassador Bolton.

My dark horse is McGavick, the R challenging Cantdowell here in Washington. Mark that pick down now. For posterity.

One more time - Chafee never votes Republican on the big issues, so the race is barely relevant from a party-vote perspective.

Buck up. A Democratically held seat permits your rage to burn without restriction.

Quote of the Day

From the POTUS:

"Imagine what they would have said if I hadn't talked about Iraq— 'failed policy, won't talk about it.'

"If did talk about Iraq—then, 'It's politics.'"
