House Holds White House in Contempt!

Congress Bans Torture!

House Stands Firm on No Retroactive Telecom Immunity!  (so Bush CAN be punished for his unconstitutional surveillance on innocent Americans.  Yay Nancy Pelosi.  No thanks to Jim Webb.)

It's a good day for Democrats all around, made even sweeter by the Republicans churlish walkout and disruption of Tom Lantos' funeral. What sore losers.

This, my friends, is the day we've all been waiting/dreaming/praying for.  Time to call your Democratic Member of Congress to PRAISE them for a change.  Time to boost those approval levels for Dems in Congress.

Finally, cojones, for Democrats.  I've been waiting a long time for this.  I frankly didn't believe it would happen.

that has got to be one of his VERY BEST..... as one comment was made, "His writers must have gone back to work", well, even though that is true, they had the opportunity and didn't hesitate. We may have to have fit Keith for body armor.....

You and many, many others.

"Your whole life teaches you that to be a progressive in America is to make Sisyphus look like a slacker. Hey, at least he got to the top of the mountain once in a while! Even if it was all for naught, that's still a lot more than we've been getting across the better part of a lifetime. Right?

And yet..."

The quotation is from David Michael Green discussing his gradual warm-up to Obama.  Well worth reading the entire article here:  http://www.smirkingchimp.com/t...
