Obama comes through with the truth. Again.

How out of touch is Barack Obama? He's so out of touch that he suggested that if all Americans inflated their tires properly and took their cars for regular tune-ups, they could save as much oil as new offshore drilling would produce. Gleeful Republicans have made this their daily talking point; Rush Limbaugh is having a field day; and the Republican National Committee is sending tire gauges labeled "Barack Obama's Energy Plan" to Washington reporters.

I don't often write diaries as I usually don't have much to say beyond snarky comments and simple observations. This is another observation but one that stung me enough to write about it on my own blog but I figured I'd share it here and give an opportunity for others to share their thoughts or discuss similar situations where they've seen this happen.

I know it's kind of skimpy but...

...will John Edwards endorse Obama based on the will of his donors?

PLEASE - DON'T READ THE TITLE AND IMMEDIATELY RECOMMEND IT.
In fact, don't recommend it at all. Go through it. I'm not pushing any CT, not looking to get on the rec'd list, but am just presenting "facts" and articles as I see them for digestion and/or discussion.

Let me start off by stating that I'm not putting this up as a conspiracy theory diary. Let me then follow that comment with my belief that I've been following a couple of diaries over the last couple of days that were pseduo/actual/conspiracy theory diaries regarding the recent spate of undersea internet cable breakages in the Middle East that "appeared" to isolate Iran from an internet point of view.

Follow me below for some perspective.

(Updated below)

(Copied in full from my blog so the updates were entered as I got them locally. I also realize this is the third subsequent diary [1, 2] but those two include only the Red State action alert, which I also received. I wanted to include some more info since I've been on this for the last couple hours.)

Update

As further proof of the power of, well, us, when I wrote this, towards the bottom I noted the signature tally at 84,107.

It is now 84,511 @ 8:54P EST. A few hundred might not seem like a lot but consider over the course of hours and days. You do the math.

Update II

I worked all day and am finally sitting down to eat dinner and relax. I'm going to call it a night, personally, but if you manage to get this on the rec'd list, let me thank you now and if not, as long as this helps drive home the message that we can have a strong impact, than I consider it a success regardless.

Have a good night!

It's not often that I write diaries and usually when I do, they're pretty atypical of my approach to politics: feh, meh, what can I do as an individual, all wrapped up in a healthy dose of liberal snark.

That changed a little bit today since I noticed several diaries over the last couple days regarding Wexler's website asking for signatures to his petition for/to hold(ing) impeachment hearings on Vice President Dick Cheney.

Toe-tapping bathroom voyeur Senator Larry Craig has been chosen for induction into the Idaho Hall Of Fame and although I'm not an Idahoian, the patriot in me feels this is no way to honor Idaho.

(Given info regarding the differences between migrants, illegal migrants, I've changed the title to "Would..." since it's more a speculative argument than anything else.)

On it's face, the answer to this question is probably no.

However, this question stems from a comment I received on this post I wrote yesterday about U.S. Navy petty officer second class Eduardo Gonzalez and the current situation he's facing:

It's a late night and I'm getting ready to go to bed but I wanted to pass this along to the viewers here about something that's occurring in Philadelphia, PA.

A number of us here in Philadelphia have begin noticing little pink plastic toy soldiers popping up all over the city from Center City to West Philadelphia, North Philly and University City and well, some of us started taking pictures of these, myself included.

I didn't know what it was but while browsing some local Flickr groups, I had remember seeing someone else post one as well and checking that person's profile, they had updated some of their pictures with a picture of a flyer kind of explaining what was happening.

(Let me clear about the title. This is NOT the angle TPM is putting on this. It's mine. But I wanted to include the reference source in the title since I didn't find the flier myself. The overall gist of the TPM story is summed up quite well by sherlyle but I'm posting this because it just stands out.)

The article on TPM actually deals with the flier that one man received seeking to clarify his status/support for the Republican party, which in turn ends up being a donation pitch.

But within the first page of the sales pitch, there is a key phrase that some have noticed, including myself, which really needs to be seen/read to be believed.

In the latest attack on Al Gore, right wing bloggers have seized upon yet another opportunity to accuse the former Vice President and presidential candidate of hypocrisy when, at his daughter's wedding rehearsal dinner, over-fished and illegally fished Chilean Sea Bass was served on the menu.

Since the government relies on tax-payer funds to create, publish and manage websites that provide supposedly factual information for teacher's and parents with which to teach their children about the structure of our government, I thought perhaps firing off an email to the webmaster for Ben's Guide, a government website that purports this as it's mission might be a good first step to clarifying this important issue about Cheney's assertion his office "is not an entity within the Executive Branch :
