WORST. THING. EVER.
http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/12/12/iraq.main/index.html
people looking for work. people looking to support their families. people like you and me, just trying to survive. The only difference is that they are stuck in a shit storm with no way out.
just because bad stuff happens doesn't mean it's ok.

The War on Christmas
Today at Cal Dems, we watched A Charlie Brown Christmas. I wore a Santa hat, and we had gingerbread and cake.
And we've raised over $600 to send packages to U.S. Troops in Iraq.
Here in Berkeley, Democrats surely hate the season.

In response to those total tools on the Savio Steps calling for Impeachment
Fuck You.
Impeachment is dumb. Call me a sell-out, but I prioritize pragmatic politics and strategy. And by the way, overthrowing Capitalism and liberating the proletariat is not realistic, nor is it a good idea. Sorry, Marx.
Anywho, read this:

Kos also has some nice comments on it. I include them below...
"We have one year to make our case for 2008 to the American people. We need to show not just that we deserve to hold on the Congress, but that we should be given the White House as well.
2008 won't work, since as an election year, all meaningful legislative work will grind to a halt and the press will be focused on the horse race (as will we). So 2007 is it.
We can spend 2007 either pushing impeachment (which isn't as popular as Zogby claims, see Bowers' piece), or we can use it educating the American people about what a Democratic government would look like -- passing meaningful legislation that would improve their lives like the minimum wage, health care reform, ethics reform, stem cell research funding, policies that help families and the middle class.
Impeachment does none of that.
In a perfect world, we could do all of the above. But we don't live in a perfect world. And the second we start impeachment proceedings, the media will focus on that. Heck WE'LL focus on that, and the Democratic legislative agenda will fade into the background, ignored. A perfect opportunity to brand the Democratic Party in a positive light will be forever squandered.
So what is more important, proving that we can govern and making the case for future Democratic majorities? Or a high-profile vendetta campaign against Bush? It really is just one or the other.
It's an easy call.
Don't worry about Bush and company. Congress will pursue its oversight duties. Waxman and Slaughter and Conyers and the rest of those guys aren't about to take the next two years off. People will be held accountable. Impeachment isn't the old path to accountability.
And Bush? He's going down as the nation's Worst President Ever. We don't need "impeachment" to make that case, Bush has done a great job of it all by himself."
Thanks for understanding, Kos.

Life Lesson in Communications
As if you ever needed proof of it...
FOX NEWS IS JERKS.
They have managed to crush my words into a pulp and then repackage them as SHIT OF BULLS. I could give you a play by play of their lies, but watching the footage makes me cringe and convulse. I'm not even kidding. O! The problems conservatives cause.
Cal Dems owns BCR. anyday.
