M.I.A. on the Mississippi Democratic Party State
Convention

post from Cotton Mouth on 06 June 2008 11:42:00 PM. © Cotton Mouth

Unfortunately for y'all Jake, Jeff and myself are all otherwise occupied this weekend so if you came here looking for up to the minute coverage on that I apologize.

Since you are here you can check some other stuff out though:

You can see who's running for Chairman of the Mississippi Democratic Party.

This position will not be elected today. The chair is decided by the state executive committee which will determine when it will meet to decide on the chairman at some point in the next month.

You can see who we support for an at large national delegate position.

You can tell all your friends about us because you love us. (yep.)

Late Evening Open Thread

This is it for me tonight. I'll start live blogging the goings on in Washington regarding Hillary Clinton's speech tomorrow around 9 or 10.

BSG is getting quite freaky if you ask me. But I have to see it through.

Oh and Big Brown goes for the Triple Crown tomorrow in the Belmont. It's been 30 years now since the last Triple Crown winner.

This is an Open Thread.

Blurb this Book

post from Daily Kos on 06 June 2008 11:05:56 PM. © Daily Kos

From the Senator who refuses to go away:

In a live interview on NewsChannel 7 Tuesday night – Craig, 62 - told Dee Sarton that he is in the process of writing a book on energy - that will also talk about his time in Congress – and the events of the past year.

"There will be a bit of what's happened in the last year, and the way it evolved," Craig said. "I think that's important for Idaho and those outside Idaho who are interested to know."

Hunter posited the following as the probable chapters:

Chapter 1: The various reasons why I am not gay.

Chapter 2: More reasons why I am not gay.

Chapter 3: A repetition of the previous reasons why I am not gay.

Chapter 4: Other people throughout history who were also not gay.

Chapter 5: My favorite Barbra Streisand songs.

Chapter 6: I am really, really not gay, damn it.

So have at it, creative Kossacks. What do you think Larry Craig will reveal? And while you're at it, blurb that book.

Vote Mugabe or starve

post from AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth on 06 June 2008 11:05:00 PM. © AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth

In a country that suffers 85% or more unemployment in addition to living on foreign food subsidies, the threat of going hungry is serious. Zimbabwe is a country which used to be the bread basket of the region. Robert Mugabe and his supporters have beaten, killed, tortured and now making these threats and there is every reason to believe they will be carried out. While Iraq and the region may be uninterested no matter how many US billions we throw their way, the people of Zimbabwe regularly put it all on the line.

The US ambassador in Harare accused government officials yesterday of blackmailing opposition supporters, by denying them food unless they surrendered their national identity card and thus gave up their right to vote.

Mr Mugabe is no stranger to using food as a political weapon in a country where many people are locked into a desperate struggle to put the next meal on the table. By suspending all aid groups operating in the country on Thursday he has once again concentrated crucial supplies into the hands of his cronies.
