“Send California's Senator "Flip-flop*" Feinstein's grandaughter into the military come 2010 when she turns 18 (via one of the three service academies is OK)

“Never overestimate the intelligence of the American electorate. Also I want to see action in 2012...whe­n progressives like Democrats.com go after Dianne Feinstein”

Lemeritus replied on Nov 18, 2009 at 23:20:52

“Progressives have already gone after DiFi. In 2007, the Courage Campaign, MoveOn.org, Progressive Democrats of America, CrooksandLiars.com and over 40 Democratic Clubs and progressive organizations from across California. sought to censure Feinstein. It never even made it to the Resolutions Committee. Why? As pol Bob Muholland said, “Sometimes people [read: progressives] can’t understand the big picture.” That's where we were in California two years ago... that's where I fear we are nationally today.”

Where is the Progressive Agenda for the Great Recession? AWOL

Commented Sep 25, 2009 at 18:30:40 in Business

“If, like Michael Moore alluded to on Olbermann the other night, the corporations want to see 10% unemployment, the corporations should PAY to take care of the unemployed.

And one has to look no further than our (supposedly) Democratic Senior Senator from CA who is worth $40-$45 million despite only spending 5 years of her adult life in the private sector (and being married to a third husband worth ten times that who has received government contracts)”

“Andy should have won the Oscar, but he wasn't even nominated.
And I was hoping he would have been nominated 50 years later for "Waitress" but no luck (then again Keri Russell didn't even get a Globe nom; please don't tell me there were 5 better female leading performances in a comedy/musical that year than Keri's) But I digress”
