Those Darn Nit Pickers
The mind wobbles at this soap opera. Imagine for a moment that the story about Senator Obama’s Citizenship raises enough cry that the general media does take it up.
What happens next? (more…)

TexasDarlin has an update on the birth certificate conundrum, read all the comments, before you assume it’s over. The whole thing reads like something out of the National Inquirer. Come on Barack, make this go away! Why does your citizenship even have to be a question, at this stage of the game? If McCain can get his straightened out, why can’t you”? He took care of his Panama issue months ago.

Sometimes Things Turn Out Unexpectedly
“Fancy rules over two thirds of the universe, the past and future, while reality is confined to the present.”
Jean Paul Richter
In the late seventies, due to economic changes and events in my family, we found ourselves in a small town in Eastern Washington, where my husband had obtained a job. It was a fragile time. I had left college again as a consequence of this necessary move, just as I had nine months prior, left work in order to go to back to school. Our daughters had left their friends and community roots. My husband, after working as an urban planner, took a job as laborer’s foreman at a nuclear power plant. (more…)

This honorary role.
This keynote address.
She will do it, and we will watch. We will understand that as she speaks, she brings honor to herself, and she will attempt to heal the schism, because she must. To task her with this epic struggle can only be because, Obama and the DNC cannot touch this mess.
News often is by timing and degree. Only a bit ago, a wave rose up, they will see it directed. They want her now to corral her own delegates and those others who agreed. How many now have signed their name? Only three hundred are needed. Pen in hand and honorary swirl will place her in nomination.
They want to shame her yet again, as though it is her mess. The DNC knows it’s not. The mess must be scrubbed, and the schism healed, or the party completely broken. Closing off each avenue will only increase wave pressure.
Clinton for vice president boosters–“Vote Both”–fold shop, realizing Obama tapping Clinton.

The “Vote Both” drive–staffed by loyal former Clinton staffers–folds, realizing that booking Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) to be a keynote speaker at the Democratic convention means she is not on the list to be Obama’s running mate.

CAMPAIGN FINANCE
I just got another donor request pleading for donations to the DNC. This prompted me to think about the status of Obama/McCain donations. As you are probably aware, we don’t usually get to see the data until around the 20th of the following month. However, the Candidates campaigns must account for their funds accumulated on an end of month basis. The DNC is attempting to coordinate their push with the needs of all their candidates. Thus, the plea for contributions before midnight has arrived. I checked in with the League of Women Voters. See their thoughts on presidential campaign finance disclosure thus far:
League, Reform Groups Compare Senators McCain and Obama on Donor Disclosures
The League and reform organizations sent follow-up letters to Senators McCain and Obama seeking full disclosure of donor information on bundlers to their presidential campaigns. The groups also released a chart that compares how far each candidate has come in meeting the groups’ requests for transparency and disclosure.

In case you have been hibernating under a rock, or vacationing on the Galapagos lately, there has been an ongoing debate over the state of Senator Obama’s “Birth Certificate” and citizenship. No Quarter has been keeping tabs. What is wanted, of course, is transparency, just like for all those IL State Senate papers we have never seen. Check this out and read the supporting links in the blog:

TOPIX
In March I wrote this on a Topix Blog site:
[No- no! We must have this fight with those who bring them, the racist, sexist, religion bashing, money questions, who did what in the 90’s, who did what in Chicago, who’s hiding what where? All these words, these attitudes that we hold onto, dregs of the last century, must go into the fire we are building. Two candidates are going into the fire. While I think the phoenix rising out the ashes will have a female head, whoever it is will not resemble the original. We must leave no stick, no leaf for the Republicans to burn.
This is the Democratic transformation that will occur. Do not be faint of heart!]
At the time I wrote this exhortation, I was still imagining that the Democratic Party understood that the years of right wing tripe to which we, the public have been subjected, regarding the Clintons, was an attack against the whole of the Democratic Party itself. Ultimately then, fighting the fire of the right wing by stepping into the blaze was the good fight. Little did I know that instead of stomping on the flames, or forging a stronger animal, the DNC would instead attempt to cure the problem by cutting off it’s own body and bleeding all over the kindling.

Update
I guess I’m popular, since I just got notice of a scrambled spam, generated by using this text, off my site. Thus the change in title. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Denver
O.K.- So city employees, have their own gas pumps. I get that, Chicago has a similar set up and when I was there, around 2000, let cabbies use it tax free. Course, that was about time the city raised the prices, so the cabbies got stuck. Hmmm… wasn’t that about the time Obama was involved in his great learning experience about “Gas Tax Holidays”?
But wait, these aren’t City employees per see, they are the DNCC! Well, I guess the Mile High City had to have some enticements to the get the Convention there.
But wait, isn’t this the candidate who said gas tax holidays don’t work? Way to match the message to the action people!! I know! This must be Hillary’s fault!! Check this out!
[DNCC vehicles have gotten to pull up to city pumps for the past few months, with a price as low as $2.62 per gallon, while a contract for the gasoline usage seems to have been an afterthought. Records reviewed by Rocky reporters show 61 DNCC vehicles (out of a fleet of 450, stressed the party) gassing up at city facilities, racking up a bill of $11,141.53 as of a week ago.]
