Glenn,

I appreciate your efforts, and the efforts of other bloggers, as well as the efforts of everyone who contacted their congresspersons, presidential candidates or whomever and let them know that the American people still value the right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure.

Better still, a few normally apolitical friends of mine have been messaging me all day to see if I had "heard about the FISA filibuster[sic]" -- and being truly excited about this. Democracy is infectious, and not all infections are bad (try digesting food without bacteria). I'm spreading this news like a fever!

So much for state's rights.

I bet you have a theory about who *really* bombed the Murrah Building and the WTC (cough, ahem, *inside job*, ahem). Amirite?

Of course, the jews control the weather. Duh. I read it in the comments section of Greenwald.

..is in defense of of the labor movement, and thwarting corporate end-runs around labor laws and unions.

anything else is just a bunch of paranoid, racist xenophobia from a bunch of dumb fucking crackers.

boy george goes with the ADM/Cargill/ConAgra/Hormel approved corporate welfare status-quo.

did their lobbyists with the legislation, or are their legislative sock puppets allowed some creative freedom?

s/with/write/

There are more substantive complaints against Clinton that can be made.. of course, to make them would to, in essence, argue against the current neo-con, establishment zeitgeist. You won't catch Drudge making those sorts of arguments.

I think that the abortion debacle is one of the few issues that "Democrats" use to differentiate themselves from "Republicans." The issue is emotionally charged (and reproductive rights are important), but substantially it is hard to find much difference in the aims and the values of most players in either party without their callous exploitation of so-called "wedge issues."

I've always put them on par with the freaks who insist that someone placed bombs inside the WTC, which is to say, slightly above the morons who advocate intelligent design.

Airline pilot pay equity (or inequity) has much to do with the convoluted economics of running an American carrier -- the same disease permeates almost all sectors of skilled labor in America, from farmers to pilots to school teachers. Can't get a dollar if it don't make 100 for the bigwigs.

That said, MythBusters can be entertaining (and that redhead!), but any of their "conclusions" must be taken with a healthy dose of sodium chloride.

I think they think that the exclamation point is a form of currency, and they have it in spades!!!!!!!!!!

Did the Clinton campaign fax that to you as is, or did you add your own embellishments after the fact.

The tossed away Lieberman comment brings new meaning to the term "Joe Job."

Nice one!

Forget the naysayers! Beside Greenwald and the occasional (and more and more incoherent or unhinged) Patrick Smith column, Havrilesky is one of the few things that keeps me coming back to salon.com.

This is especially true since I have force weened myself off televisionwithoutpity (an addiction that only resurfaces during the best parts of The Wire, The Shield or Battlestar Galactica).

So, since that there WGA strike is still on with no end in sight, let's hear about all that great BBC programming -- you know, "Mystery!" on PBS, an Torchwood, and Doctor Who, and Blood in the Wire (a show I only ever saw because my keyword wishlist on TiVo picks it up along with The Wire).

Please? Pretty Please?
