Did any of you catch Morning Joe just now? Chris Matthews and Joe Scarborough got into a real battle over healthcare. It got so nasty that Joe looked like he was going to explode and almost kicked Chris off the show.

Joe was his usual smug, arrogant self, and Mika was all googly-eyed sitting next to him. She tries to sound like such a concerned journalist when she talks about the cost. In the middle of her sanctimony Chris said the following:

"Mika, I think you've been caught up in this pussyfooting here."

I have to go out for awhile, but as I listen to Rudy and Joe on Morning Joe say that the CIA has never lied, then hear Bob Shrum give a few examples, I realize that we need to do a little research for the media. Can we spend the day making a list for Joe and the gang?

Let's start with Bob's example of the Bay of Pigs. Then Richard Helms (I think he was convicted of lying to Congress.) Didn't the Downing Street Memos predict they were going to lie?

A little more...

Just got the following email from Ellis Robinson of Ruth's List Florida. Popular Democratic CFO Alex Sink has decided to run for governor! This is very big news for Florida Democrats, and very bad news for Florida Republicans. And it's excellent news for the citizens of Florida who desperately need a change of leadership in GOP-dominated Tallahassee. Our state is in crisis and Charlie Crist chose to jump ship and run for the U.S. Senate instead of sticking around to try to solve our problems. (Since he helped cause most of them, it's actually very good that he's leaving.) We now have a chance to elect a qualified, competent leader. Here's the announcement:

GREAT NEWS!

As of 1:00pm today, Alex Sink is running for Governor!

I know you share my delight that she is taking on this all-important task. Alex Sink has proven herself a capable and dedicated leader in her role as Chief Financial Officer. She has saved taxpayers millions of dollars by streamlining state services, holding contractors accountable, and bringing her business savvy to the job'

I just got off the phone with Congressman Sestak's office in Washington. You can reach them here:

Phone: (202) 225-2011

I told them that as a Democratic activist in the state of Florida, I would support Congressman Sestak if he will run against Arlen Specter in the Democratic primary in Pennsylvania.

After listening to Snarlin' Arlen on MTP yesterday, I was disgusted (it's such a familiar feeling) by his claims of independence. He's bending over backwards to let everyone know what a jerk he is. If he won't vote for the Employee Free Choice Act or Obama's healthcare proposals, how can he call himself a Democrat?

You may remember a story from last fall about the chair of the local Republican Party who sent out a racist email during early voting. Here's a snippet from the St. Pete Times story:

"Just days before Americans vote in an election with the first black presidential nominee, the head of the Hillsborough County Republican Party sent an e-mail warning members of "the threat" of "carloads of black Obama supporters coming from the inner city to cast their votes."

...

"The e-mail, written in all capital letters by volunteer Ron Whitley, 72, was forwarded by Storck to about 400 party members.

It begins with the words "The Threat," and, referring to an early voting site in Temple Terrace, reads in part: "I see carloads of black Obama supporters coming from the inner city to cast their votes for Obama. This is their chance to get a black president and they seem to care little that he is at minimum, socialist, and probably Marxist in his core beliefs. After all, he is black — no experience or accomplishments — but he is black."

Well they're at it again...

Remember ChoicePoint?

Remember how they purged legitimate voters from the Florida voting rolls in 2000?

Remember how they sold personal data (drivers' license numbers) until they were discovered back in 2000?

Well, this morning my friend, who isconsidering applying for a position with the Obama administration, noticed something.

I host a Friday afternoon show on BlogTalkRadio as part of the Florida Progressive Radio lineup. On the show this afternoon at 4pm, Pam Haengel from the Florida Voters Coalition will be my guest to discuss the latest efforts to disenfranchise voters. Tune in here.

As you may be aware, we've had some serious problems here in Florida recently.
Lost ballots in Palm Beach County
No Match, No Vote directives from the Secretary of State

We also hear that there might be vote caging in Collier County. Please listen and find out what we can do to help.

Thanks,
Susan

What kind of money do they use there? Hawaii IS America!

A couple of years ago my friend was going on vacation in Alaska. She pointed out her own stupidity (or lack of awareness) by jokingly telling me that she had asked "What kind of money do they use there?" Of course, my friend realized immediately that she had made a mistake because Alaska is not a foreign country!

This morning on C-Span, the usually fair Steve Scully made the statement that Obama was in Hawaii and would soon be "back in the States." Just now I heard Cokie Roberts say that "Obama shouldn't be vacationing in such an exotic place, that he should be in Myrtle Beach."

These types of comments are not helpful to our candidate because they further the idea that Obama is not a real American because he has chosen to vacation in some foreign place. I hope someone else noticed this and will make a big deal of it. It may not seem that important, but it can subliminally reinforce a meme that can damage Obama.

I got the word today that the man we love to hate (or at least one of them) is coming to town this week to do a fundraiser for McCain. Apparently, they're trying to fleece the local Jewish community with this event at a private home in our most exclusive gated neighborhood.

So, we're planning to protest. What we need from you are some creative ideas to make this a very special anti-Joementum event. Put on your thinking caps and send those proposals my way.

A few minutes ago, Doug Tudor, the most excellent candidate running to represent the citizens in FL-12 sent out an email alerting his supporters to the ridiculous, insulting, despicable comment from his opponent, Congressman Adam "Opie" Putnam, about this afternoon's silliness by a "band" of GOP Congressmen. How dare they compare themselves to the brave World War II soldiers who liberated Europe from the Nazis.

I live in Hillsborough County, Florida. A portion of our county is represented by Adam (Opie) Putnam. Putnam has voted with George W. Bush 98.7% in the past year. He is a disgrace.

We have a bright light shining in Congressional District 12 in the person of Doug Tudor. Doug recently retired from the United States Navy and is an unabashed progressive. I am proud to support him, and I hope Kossacks everywhere will do the same. Check out the video on the flipside.

Over the course of the last several of months, we saw the media build Hillary up as the inevitable candidate. Then following the debate question over drivers' licenses, we saw them jump on every opportunity to tear her down, unmercifully, I might add. Since the Iowa defeat, they have pretty much declared her candidacy dead.

As a woman, maybe I'm a little sensitive to all the comments about how "angry" and "lecturing" she sounds.

Today I've heard more than one pundit slam her for having her husband stand beside her on the campaign trail. Granted he's not just any husband, but if he weren't there, wouldn't they be jumping on her for that too?
