Hello, all.

So now some "classified" communique from Afghanistan now sez Bart isn't going for ANY of the so-called "four options". Wonder why?

Wonder what General Clark thinks about this.

It's Monday Jan 26, 2009, and I've gotten started on the content for this new blog. If you have some insight into how best to get the blog going in a respectable way that many Clarkies and The Old Man himself will get involved, PLEASE within the next 48 hours, get in touch with me. You can send a private notification through clicking on my CCN member name, but I trust you guys and I'm going to share my own email addy, also:

On Monday, I talked a little about what's at stake in this election. And today, I'd like to expand on that some more. Now that the stupid scandals are gone and we're all focusing again on the economy, now's the perfect time.

Wow! So John McCain has really proven his "feminist" street cred by picking Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his VP. Oh yes, and aren't they both such mavericks! McCain-Palin just smells like real change now, doesn't it?

What better gift can you ask for on your birthday than to have JOHN CONYERS chair a hearing called

The Imperial Presidency of George W. Bush
Raise your hand if you remember Conyers being forced into a BASEMENT ROOM for a hearing and they couldn't even refer to him as "Mr. Chairman". So, on Friday, July 25th, 2008 Mr. Conyers WILL be called "Mr. Chairman".

A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall
~ by Bob Dylan

Oh, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, what'll you do now, my darling young one?

I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin',
I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest,

Where the people are many and their hands are all empty,
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters,
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison,
Where the executioner's face is always well hidden,
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten,
Where black is the color, where none is the number,

"...now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country..."

I've typed that a million times - like many of you, probably - while practicing typing skills, under my mom's tutelage. I've always liked that it ended with "country", and not the original wording of the phrase, which is "party."  

I am in the trenches assisting our veterans obtain full time employment. Our first priority is to service members that are returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. I am fully aware of the problems our service members face and have decided to do something about it. Below is my press release that was posted in the Seattle and Tacoma newpapers last weeek. I can use all the help I can get. My website is www.jimvaughnforcongress.com

Do to weather our Honk for Peace Rally has been cancelled, so I decided to instead write letters.

If you go to the following address: http://capwiz.com/pdamerica/issues/alert/?alertid=9233036&type=CO
You can compose a letter to your Congressmen and Senators about how you feel about the current situation. I have done this and below is a copy of what I wrote. For some of you who might find it difficult to find the right words, you can copy my letter, whole or in part and use it as you may. Of course I will post this on my blog, and if you come up with something really catchy or powerful, send it to me and I will add that to this post.
