The Chicken Doves
by Matt Taibbi
Quietly, while Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have been inspiring Democrats everywhere with their rolling bitchfest, congressional superduo Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi have completed one of the most awesome political collapses since Neville Chamberlain. At long last, the Democratic leaders of Congress have publicly surrendered on the Iraq War, just one year after being swept into power with a firm mandate to end it.Solidifying his reputation as one of the biggest pussies in U.S. political history, Reid explained his decision to refocus his party’s energies on topics other than ending the war by saying he just couldn’t fit Iraq into his busy schedule. “We have the presidential election,” Reid said recently. “Our time is really squeezed.”

Saully you little welp start posting...
I know it's like dropping a couple raindrops into the ocean but we have to start doing this on a daily basis. With that in mind here are a couple of links from today's school snow day number one of the season:
http://www.ourfuture.org/take-back-america-2008
and of course, there's the tried and true:
http://www.commondreams.org/
Now, ultimately we have to do more than just find something of interest and post the link to whatever .org or article or book or writer or god forbid current political operative or office holder. Once we have the blogging going on a real consistent basis we have to start emailing our blog and main Web Site links to these people and solicit both organizational collaboration and financial support for some of the specific things we propose as we get going.
Ciao, Brew
