Let’s review: the Teaparty is attacking the New Deal infrastructure while the OFA attacks the liberals and progressives who want to defend the New Deal. It seems to me that the net result is the OFA is in agreement with the Teaparty. The motivation or reason is unimportant. Liberals are surrounded in a war. This the state of things that we confront.

It’s time for Liberals have a Rocky Balboa moment. OK, fine; no one can beat Obama in a primary. So, let’s fine someone who is flawed, an over-the hill politician, a has-been, that has no chance of winning and is an unapologetic Liberal, to set up and take the pain. I vote for Eliot Spitzer.

If you read Drew Westen seminal essay “What Happen to Obama”, at the core of Obama’s failure was/is his unwillingness to tell the story of what happen to America during the 2008 banking crisis. Eliot Spitzer knows this story well. As the Sheriff of Wall Street, he was chasing the bad guys before he was forced out of office.

Give Spitzer money and a operation and two things will happen: 1) Americans will hear how they were/are getting ripped off by Washington and Wall Street and 2) A true Liberal narrative will be hear by all Americans this election year to compare and contrast against the batshit crazy extreme theocratic right-wing.

I don’t contribute to the Democratic Party, anymore. I need a place to send political donations. Help me make my dream come true.- restoring Democratic values to the Democratic Party.

Sometimes, a corn dog is just a corn dog.

So, what are we waiting for? Let’s give it to the Super Cat-food Commission and let them run with it.

Single Payer. The math is on our side.

Clyburn will pass it, Obama will sign it, and Sharpton will report it on MSNBC as a win for Democrats. Lovely.

Question: Now that Petraeus has moved over to the CIA, which has black budgets, how mush does it matters how much the Defense budget is cut under the “grand bargain”? I would imagine whatever the pentagon can’t fund, the dollars will just come out of Petraeus’s unlimited checkbook.

Jane showed me the error of my ways.

I stand corrected.

John Garamendi for President in 2012

Brother Gil Scott-,

May you Rest In Peace,
but only if you want to;
You may want to raise hell in heaven;
or decide to find heaven in hell;
It’s your choice.
You have all of eternity t decide.

When I look up Liberal in the dictionary,
I see you, brother GSH
When I look for Liberals in America, today
I stare into the empty abyss

The problems are still here.
The victims are still the same
The criminals have not changed

And, the solutions to fix America’s problems
America’s underclass problems
are still out of politicians’ reach
And, the explanations are still just as weak.

Only the anger and desperation
by Blacks and the poor is growing stronger.

So, thanks for your time on this mortal coil,
Brother Gil,
It was real,
Sometimes, too real.
