Or, can I call you Steve Cincuenta y uno?

Meta, meta, meta, meta.

All these comments are one giant self-referential white people's circle jerk. Apparently, more than anything, white people need to be the one who sees the irony and internal contradictions, who see the lack of self-awareness, in the last white person's comment.

OMG I TOTALLY AGREE! WHITE PEOPLE ARE INCAPABLE OF ACTUALLY REALLY UNDERSTANDING IRONY BECAUSE ITS LIKE RAIN ON YOUR WEDDING DAY!!! LOL!

My good friend and sort of former boss Chris Fisher used to chastise me with the following words of advise: "why do you always tear down? why can't you build up? camper!"

Of course, that was just him being whitely sarcastic (or sarcastically white, you tell me).

But my point is.. why must you tear it down, instead of building it up? Why the hate?

Believe it or not white people are ignorant monkeys too! Just like you! We are capable of understanding that idiot, ignorant monkeys like you may come into conflict with idiot, ignorant moneys like me..

I can say to some degree of certainty the monkey you and monkey me are stupid, stupid animals. How you like them bananas?

How funny we monkeys are with our incessant need to categorize everything!

I first stumbled on "Stuff White People Like" while reading "The assimilated Negro".

I'm totally listening to Fleetwood Mac right now.

You are correct in your assumptions. There is no "change" in Obama's plans to withdraw from Iraq. Had I not been stuck at SkyHarbor Airport on a delayed flight back to civilization I would have been yelling and throwing things at the screen (imagine the headline: "San Francisco man shuts down Phoenix airport terminal in an apparent case of 'terminal rage'").

However, the Obama campaign quickly quelled that story, to my satisfaction, in as much as it got its soundbytes into the news cycle and Obama comes off as gently ribbing the media for getting the story wrong (think Pres. Jeb Bartlett and his famous wit). "Let's try this one more time," is the money quote. The Senator then restating his same position on Iraq ("about a brigade a month, 16 months more or less, depending on the advise of military leaders on the ground ...").

Still. CNN in airport terminals. Its criminal. I one day hope to find myself sitting next to a UT commenter at the terminal, or Glenzilla himself, so I'm not the only person at the airport having a fit/Tourette's incident and sending death glares to that smug chimpanzee Anderson Cooper. (God forbid Glenn Beck was on.. I'd be on my way to Gitmo).

You're hearing some complaints that you're just sitting on all that money that was raised for immediate action, and to some extent they are justified. Flood the zone, spend it all, then ask for more. If people see you're actually doing something with their contributions, they'll give more. But if they don't see what you're doing with the money, or sense you're "keeping your powder dry" until the right "time" or whatever, you'll lose them. That's the attitude so many of us have been fighting for so many years.

Seconded. There's another $100 right behind the first $100 I spent nearly a week and a half ago. No one is advocating spending it willy-nilly.. perhaps a "we spent roughly this much this week/today on such and such a campaign" prospectus for investors? I know you occasionally update us, and I'm poking you for another status update, I guess.

I've been putting a lot of time in following this issue - time i don't have. I guess I'm just looking for some good news.

MyBO FISA group takes #1 position.

Less than 100 to go to be the #1 MyBO group..

The MyBO FISA group just broke 10,000 users. It very well could be the #1 group by (think of the symbolism!) 7/4.

Firenze419 - Clinton is still worse. Obama may get the gas face for gravitating toward the reprehensible DLC, the charter organization for Blue Dogs everywhere, Hillary Clinton is an unabashed member.

I'd say that gives Obama some wiggle room before all hope is lost.

Public pressure got Olbermann to back off his defense of Obama's FISA position. Likely, Obama himself smells what the public is cooking. Or better yet, his chickens are coming home to roost? I don't know. Pick your metaphor.

Either way, it is going to be nearly impossible for him to do nothing about this now newsworthy story in the coming week, so I have hope and faith that Obama will come out with a more favorable approach to FISA.

Is that he hasn't stood up to AIPAC and told the lobby to shut the hell up.

I bet that would instantly win him over with a wide variety of swing voters who are sick of being Israel's second army, arms manufacturer, constant companion and butt-buddy.
