Yesterday, I had the good fortune of being Mr. Casey's driver as he spoke at the Catholic University of America. He spoke as part of the Pope John XXIII lecture series, on the topic of "Restoring America's Moral Compass." His speech explored issues of faith, morality, the common good, and yes, abortion. You can read the full text of the speech here. But what I want to talk about is something else. I want to talk about my day with one of the most genuine, convicted people I have ever met- politician or not. Read More

Ha! Not much content, but I know those who follow this story will get as much of a kick out of it as I did.

I listen to the National Press Club everyday around this time (2ish ET). Today the talk is on the ten commandments cases coming before the Supreme Court. Moderately interesting.

When the moderator came to open up questions after the two speakers had spoken his said "If you have a question please stand up and give your real name- we've had some problems with that with journalists here in Washington recently." It got a pretty nice laugh from the crowd.

Anyway, nothing more to see here, move along, move along.

Help me with something?

I'm looking for something that I saw here on Dkos this week, but have been unable to locate again.

I know that the casualty numbers in that the DOD releases for the Iraq war are only counting those that died of enemy action, and not other causes. I also remember seeing something that the figure only includes the servicemen who actually died within the physical borders of Iraq, therefore soldiers who died in Landstuhl or en route were not counted- and that this total was closer to 6,000.

Anybody here remember this and point me in the appropriate direction?

Dcdem, juls and myself have reached meridian hill park, site of counter-inagural protests. Carnacki should be along shortly. I'm blogging from my sidekick. There's 2 inches of snow, drummers, floats, and people everywhere. Its cold, but we will not be deterred. It feels like a carnivale at the moment.

We were greeted with numbers for legal aid and medical aid, which we hope not to use. I am an EMT, should it come to that.

Were heading to the speakers stage. On the way there is a group of people preparing flag draped coffins for the march later. They are being respectful. Its moving to see.

People in masks. Replaying Rush's comment about Abu Ghraib.

More disjointed ramblings as they happen. My fingers are frozen.

In DC tomorrow?

Kos is right. November 2nd was two days ago. All the tears in the world can't change what happened. But all the Republican confidence won't win them a larger majority in the house and senate in 2006. Who do we enlist to cut their powers? Ourselves!

We took 60 thousand dollars, put it in Richard Morrisons hands, and made Tom Delay spend 2 million. Because of that, Chet Edwards won his seat in Waco. Without our support, Richard Morrison doesn't stand a chance and Delay campaigns heavily in central Texas. We won that seat for Chet Edwards, and nobody even mentioned his name. Read More

has been over 30 years since the cynical Republican "Southern Strategy" turned a national tide of hope and the expansion of rights to apathy and bigotry. In those 30 plus years the Democratic Party has not been able to match the right wing hate machine. We have had our success, but they have been against astoundingly weak challengers (Ford, Dole) or featured a certain "comeback kid" (I <3 Clinton). So how do we put the Republicans on the next outrunning tide?

It will happen. And it will happen whether the Democratic Party makes it happen or not. If we can't do it with the current structure, I'm going to get a pair of bull-moose ears and send them to a particular doctor in Vermont, hoping he gets the message. But I don't want to have to do that. Bull Moose take poorly to ear harvesting.

We have little hope of reclaiming the south. The action of entrenched bigotry and evangelical political prostelyzing is something that cannot be matched- yet at least. It is silly and self-defeating to try and retake Alabama or Mississippi anytime soon. It is time to heed some long known words, and go west my friend. Read More
