From July 25, 2005: Couple of interesting developments today… First, Columbus Ohio is playing host to this year’s DLC National Conversation — over 400 opportunistic Democrats from across the nation are gathered (today and tomorrow) to reportedly develop a “positive” agenda. I have a positive agenda too… I’m “positive” the DLC is fucking up the [...]

From July 5, 2005: Impeachment. A new Zogby poll out shows that 43% of the American public believes that impeachment is an appropriate response if it is demonstrated that Bush misled the nation to war.

From May 2005: The Right is pushing for the confirmation of John Bolton, extremist judges, a complete dissolution of our nation’s social safety net, and a stay-the-course policy on our disastrous efforts in Iraq.

From February 2005:Alright — I admit it.

From February 2005: About a year and a half ago — just after the Sleepless Summer Tour, I had a chance to see Howard Dean speak in person at a rally in College Park, Maryland. It was an amazing day — more than 4,500 University of Maryland students, and other area supporters (like myself) sat [...]
