*** I wish that I'd written this line:

Thankfully, Sheehan was able to escape Bush’s torture chambers by fashioning a makeshift raft out of CodePINK leaflets and sailing away on a river of her own tears.

Heh.

*** RIP, Grandpa Munster: Al Lewis died last Friday. I met the guy at his restaurant in New York about 10 years ago, and "amusingly cantankerous" could be etched on his gravestone.


*** Wuzzadem uncovers the real source of those ultra-violent Muslim protest signs.


*** Kevin Drum notes an evaluation of economic voting patterns:

The conclusion of the paper is fairly simple: in poor states, income is a major predictor of whether you vote for Republicans or Democrats. In Mississippi, for example, the rich are far more likely than the poor to vote for Republican presidential candidates. But just the opposite is true in high-income states. There, although the rich are still more likely to vote for Republicans, the difference is quite small.
...
I'm not quite sure what to make of this or how to take advantage of it, but knowledge is power, right? Maybe someone smarter than me will figure out what this means and how to use it.

I can't say for certain, but might it have something to do with "the real source of those ultra-violent Muslim protest signs?" I kid, I kid. Maybe.

Try this;

High income states = liberal states and there are a lot of rich liberals? Go figure!

That's just crazy talk.

In "poor" states, the rich are more likely to actually know some poor people, and thus less likely to believe it is the rich's fault that poor people are poor. Rich people who have never been exposed to the poor are easier to play guilt trips on apparently, so I would recommend the d'Emocrats try to keep the rich as isolated as possible. Greenspace and razorwire, something along those lines.

Moe, you've got it wrong. All the Dems need to do is grant wealth to poor states, creating zones in which they are less electorally disadvantaged.

And there are two immediate ways to achieve this granting of wealth: one is to seriously redistribute real wealth, say a 90% tax on incomes over $100,000, or redefine wealth so far down its just above poverty.

Woah, deja vous dude...
