I know it was BT. That was my point.

Bush Lied!

Wouldn't that be Saturnium deposits?

Yea, something like that. Perhaps it would have gone over better had he been wearing a jet black leather suit.

And now I'm picturing the DNC led by Andrew Dice Clay. Should be an interesting four years.

And thank you to the Twin sock for removing my Avatar- and from "online at the same time" observations yesterday the Sock is either GGG or Sidd- it doesn't seem like Sidd though- so it is either GGG or some lurker.

Hank, you're paranoid about the left, and strangely obsessed with me for some reason. Why is it never the women?

The Evil Twin is only me if it will get you to do a spoof of my avatar. Otherwise, I'm content to harrass you directly.

Dean's not far off, is he? "Guns, God, and Gays, ooohhh!"

Unfortunately, yes. I suspect you'll enjoy it.

Whatever the merits of Club's charges, the real bottom line is that the DNC chair should not be about the person sitting in it; the Chair's job is not to generate personal press, but to make sure the party is well funded, to rough up the Republican's a bit, and to groom candidates who will be out front. But, we'll see; I hope I'm wrong.

I actually think Dean will do a pretty good job. He and his staff are proven organizers and can raise a boatload of money. He just needs to keep that humongous ego in check and he'll do well.

I seriously think this is going to turn into the Dean v. Kerry show. For different reasons, they both want to be the Voice of the Democrats, and they have very different, even contradictory, voices. Hilary may well prove to be the moderating influence, the rallying point to which people will flock once they see that the D v K mess isn't advancing chances. Or, it might simply all fracture into three factions that accomplish nothing, but make for interesting blogging.

I was impressed with Democracy for America's efforts in the Richard Morrison campaign down here. I also like Dean's approach with regard to trying to put a good candidate in every race in the country, not just the ones we think we can win. One of the major problems down here is that we just don't field good candidates, so the GOP often wins by default. And I hated Terry McAulffie.

If you're going to write one of those states-rights beefs about unfunded federal mandates, have the decency also to acknowledge the states-rights beef about the federal government supplanting (hi bilmore!) state class-actions.

Hey liberalsaurus, my post noted that it was unfunded federal AND state mandates. Plus, what exactly is the state's beef going to be for class-actions? That they don't get justice, or that they don't get to do the justice the way they want even though it affects people, corportate entities and tax-receiving bodies in numerous other jurisdictions? Huh? Witch, Ty, witch?

What if we tax each use of your vibrator- some per orgasm amount- rather than just the initial purchase. Or better let the vibrator be relatively tax free but heavily tax batteries. I believe if we did this sort of thing, some of the geekier guys in your part of the country might get more dates.

In principle, the best approach. In fact, though, it takes a ton more money than what's available in order to finance known losses, even though they should be viewed as long-term investments. If you concede the national slots in order to rebuild the locals across the country, well, okay, that will probably work, but you're building a timeline that not even the most disciplined of planners can embrace. That's a "we're back in by 2016" approach. If it were taken, I think the D's would be solidly back in at that point, even to the extent R's are in now.

But who can wait that long?

Hank, I think this is a photoshop request.

C'mon, even I'll admit that he got smeared by a background-noise-suppression microphone.
