The committee ordered Rove to appear July 10 to testify on allegations he was a key player in pressing the Justice Department to dismiss some U.S. attorneys and to prosecute Democrats

It had authorized the subpoena earlier, but only delivered it Thursday after Rove's attorney said he would not appear voluntarily, Chairman John Conyers, D-Michigan, said in a written statement.

On The Campaign Trail, Obama Attacked McCain, Saying It Was "Breathtaking" For Him To Address Climate Change:

Obama: "It is truly breathtaking for John McCain to talk about combating climate change while voting against virtually every recent effort to actually invest in clean energy." (Ben Smith, "Obama On McCain Speech: 'Breathtaking,' Not In A Good Way," Politico's "Ben Smith" Blog, www.politico.com, 5/12/08)

But In 2005, Obama Praised McCain's Leadership On Climate Change:

He also said that he wants to emphasize that Hagee had never been his pastor, and he never had a personal relationship with him, like Sen. Obama and Pastor Wright.

Ouch.  This puts Obama in a pinch, IMHO.

They printed a story about what a scoundrel Joe Lieberman was.

I posted a response saying they shouldn't pick on Lieberman. I said that Lieberman had a good heart and a keen intellect. I added that the voters of Connecticut showed good sense in sending him back to the Senate.

The response was interesting. I was called a troll. An idiot. And other things I don't wish to reproduce here.

Then, I pointed out that I was actually quoting what Barack Obama said about Joe Lieberman when he campaigned for his reelection to the Senate in 2006.

For that, I was called a troll, an idiot, and other things I don't wish to reproduce here.

1. Use empty cylindrical containers (like for Pringles chips) lined with a large sandwich bag or wax paper to carry kebabs for the BBQ, empty skewers or other stuff.

2. Use a Pringles chips container to make ice cream or frozen yoghurt sandwiches: Line as per above. Start with one cookie (your fave; I like oatmeal), add a scoop of your preferred frozen stuff, then TWO cookies, scoop ... and so on. Doesn't matter if the cookie's slightly bigger: the bendy ones will form a little ridge around the cream. For easier removal, put a circle or square of wax paper between each 2-cookie section. When the container is full, seal both ends well and freeze. To tote, put cylinder inside a bag of ice and use that to keep everything cool until serving time.

3. An empty, clean coffee can is great for toting mini-pitas (full sammys or empty to fill up at site) or tortillas (same deal). Make sure can is spotless so aroma doesn't transfer. (To fully deodorize: fill with hot water and add 1 tbsp white vinegar. Let sit for an hour, rinse well and let it dry completely.)

4. An empty, clean coffee can is also great for toting cutlery, napkins, serving sized cooking and condiment assists like soy and chili sauces, other mini condoments etc.

5. BBQs and picnics are a great way to use up any backlog of single-serve condiments from winter takeout. For a quick'n'dirty on-site BBQ baste: grab a handful of soy, mustard, plum, chili packs and cut the tops off. Squeeze into a paper cup. Stir and adjust to taste. Splash of beer, wine, vinegar or lemon tones it down. Make it just slightly hotter and less sweet than "just right" and let heat do the rest.

6. The idea is to do as little as possible so you're fresh and rested for the weekend of loafing around.
   

This FL & MI mess is a great opportunity to tackle all three of the above problems.  If we re-vote by mail in MI & FL, we automatically bring both states back into compliance with DNC rules on timing of elections.  This undermines any future Republican attempts to disrupt the Dem nomination process by moving up the primary dates.  It also establishes a new direction to defeat election fraud in America.  Finally, it would creates a route for Hillary to establish that she really is more electable without giving Obamabots the chance to say she manipulated the party.  She'll actually have the votes from those states in a direct response with just the two of them on the ballot.

 and pay for the cost of a mail-in election that utilizes equipment we already have based on Oregon's successful 100% mail-in process that undermines electronic fraud by establishing an audit trail even in states that used HAVA to undermine that concept.  We've already got the infrastructure and policies in place, based on Oregon's successful 100% mail-in model.  We've got the voter rolls in both MI and FL, and enough money to accomplish it before the convention since it's much cheaper to do a mail-in than try to repeat the vote through the two states' election process.

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL -- Three Florida delegates, including the state's Senate Democratic leader have filed a federal lawsuit against the Democratic National Committee claiming the DNC violated their constitutional rights by barring them from the party's national convention.

End result is that they mitigate the damage of Hagee's words while Hagee is still free to tell his followers who to vote for next fall.

Amazing he's not planning it at MSNBC...where his biggest fan club resides.

read all about the Obama loving media and why they threw their support Obama's way

John Judis, Marshall, Novak, Joe Klein, Linda Douglass .... this post got it all -

Linda Douglass leaves journalism because long long time ago - while trashing Hillary Clinton on Hardball all along - she fell for Obama and will now work for him.
