Keith Olbermann: The Long, Slippery, Suicidal Slope

Keith must have been really pissed off...he came back to work just five days post-appendectomy to deliver this well deserved shellacking. Thank you Keith, we needed that. Now get back to R and R. We're going to need you at 100% in the months ahead!

Ok Folks, Back to Work!

UPDATE: We lost this one, due to a Republican filibuster. Remember the good old days when the Repubs screamed "obstructionist!" if the Democrats, in the minority back then, even thought about blocking legislation? It's time for Harry Reid to make them really filibuster, as in reading from the phone book for hours and days on end. And no cots either. Dammit, this should not have happened.
Another day, another battle to fight. Sigh. The Senate will soon be voting on restoring Habeas Corpus, probably tomorrow. This is one we can, and must, win. Fortunately we have some of the good guys working the right side of this. Click on the video below for Senator Dodd's short explanation of Habeas Corpus, and a refresher on why it is so important to what we stand for as American citizens. Below that is a link to all the tools you need to join the fight. We can keep track of the votes, find phone numbers for key senators, and sign on as citizen co-sponsors to the Dodd-Spector-Leahy bill. Please pass the information along and make those calls!

So Tonight We Went to City Hall...

...and, as usual, Bill captured a good part of it on celluloid. We, and when I say we I really mean Mike McKeehan, brought before the Mayor and City Council of Wyandotte a resolution to end U.S. military action in Iraq. Mike worked countless hours to obtain over 1400 resident signatures in support of the resolution and made his (our) case most eloquently tonight at the City Council Meeting. It's late and I'm too exhausted to go into all the details at the moment, but suffice it to say it was a resounding success. Many thanks to Mike and everyone who stood with us tonight. The whole experience was quite something, and I'm still processing it. With that, I'll leave you with a few photos... (Click on any photo for a larger version)

An Orange Wave...

Everyone kept asking me today if we should wear orange again next week. I hadn't even thought that far ahead (not surprising for me!), but sure, why not? It was pretty eye-catching. Don't worry if you don't have anything orange to wear or if you'd rather not, but for those who want to, I say let's make it our signature. Here's some pics from today.
