I’d like to confiscate a little more of your hard-earned money before you go Galt.
We’ve clocked nearly 20G in the past 9 days.
Update. A classic 70s music video to validate your fee fees while you give.

In honor of Aqua Buddha I’ll chip in a little more.

Maybe this has already been discussed here, but whomever penned this screed just nailed it.
A more succinct, dead-on, pulls-no-punches non-Taibbi undressing of the fraud that are the teatards has not been written.

Act Blue takes it sweet time in updating totals.
DougJ is the business and economics editor for Balloon Juice.
@JPL:
Yeah, I know. I always think these blegs accomplish nothing, then five hours later, I see that we netted a few G.

@Dork:
Thanks for that. My favorite bit:

This case concerns me A 10th Amendment Drama….
If there are lawyers around, I’d appreciate your thoughts.

It’s a song about leaving your kids in the car on a warm day!

OT:
Where was I when this all went down?
Wow:
Under what pretense did Ashcroft use to pull this on an American citizen? Did this not violate about 3 or 4 Constitutional Amendments? Just stunning that the media ignored all this.

I’ve been reading the present into the past lately.
H.L. Mencken, accidentally describing John McCain in William Jennings Bryan’s obituary:
And the ominous feeling I get when I look at Sarah Palin is perfectly described in Thompson’s obit for Richard Nixon:
Remember, Nixon’s political career was declared dead in 1960.

You know what would validate my fee-fees? Not using the expression “fee-fees” anymore.

No Actblue page for progressive heros Jerry Brown and Martha Coakley who are being Swiftboated for wanting to send innocent men back to prison?
Will Bruce Lisker Return to Prison Because of a Technicality? The Calif. AG ( Jerry Brown) is Betting On It

@R-Jud:
I heard “fee fee” exactly once before this blog, in a YouTube video, when it was used to describe a rubber glove, lubricated and turned inside out in a towel for purposes of masturbation in prison.
I can’t really imagine it meaning anything else, now.

That song is creepy. That guy is creepy.
I did my little bit for Act Blue.

@John Bird:
You know, that’s actually an improvement.
One wonders how DougJ would validate those fee-fees. A stamp, maybe?
joe from Lowell
OK, that’s pretty creepy, too.

Is Paul L. ever on topic?

@Omnes Omnibus: He stays on topic for me, as long as the topic is pie.

I know this is a link to Politico http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1010/43731.html but this is a story about Carl Forti who graduated from Fairport High School (1990) with me in the Rochester, NY suburb of Fairport,NY. Apparently he’s Rove’s brain.

If that really works, I’m heading to Disneyland to get Snow White’s advice on how to get woodland creatures to clean my house for me.

@Omnes Omnibus:
I always get a “Hey Rocky! Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!” frisson from Paul L. Curses! Foiled again!

@Omnes Omnibus: Are pies ever the topic?

Wow, p mac! A quintuple! Gotta be a first.

@p mac: I believe what you’re trying to say is “FYWP.”

I’d like to see the total number of contributors go up more than the total contributions go up.
451 contributors just isn’t that many for a blog with ~1M distinct views a month.

If you don’t have money donate time.
Make GOTV Calls:
Organizing for America
Progressive Change Campaign Committee
Or hie down to you county party office and knock on doors (and get exposure to your down ticket politicians – they’ll remember you helped!)
two weeks to go. We will make a difference.

Very sorry about that broken post — looks like still another problem on this site with IE-8. (I wasn’t able to delete the copies; there were sextuplets originally before I deleted the original.)
joe from Lowell
I-I-I-I-I’d like…
This one goes out to pmac!

Octopost!

Yeah, but this is going to be overran by the foreigners at the Chamber of Commerce by 100-to-1 or something. Be sure to welcome your new overlords warmly.

DougJ, are you going Prince here with the title?

@YellowJournalism:
LOFL! Hey wait–could I really get woodland creatures to clean my house for me–that would ROCK!

@Koz:
Pout. I barely got used to the current overlords.
