“Advice for the Democrats”

Sunday, June 11th, 2006

Question: Any guesses on who gave this advice? Answer in the extended entry. The war in Iraq is over except for the dying. Campaign for a date to bring our forces home. Speak for Americans on big issues like gas prices, health care, the environment and alternative energy. Don’t be afraid to say we’re for […]

Decided to check who was linking to me…

Saturday, June 10th, 2006

There’s a class at Cal State blogging the same congressional race as I am??? How did I miss this in my obsessive Technorati / Feedster searching? Here’s my favorite post: Quick note about Cynthia Matthews victory… Don’t feel obligated to change your papers that were written assuming a Warner victory. From an educational standpoint, the […]

The strange world in which we live

Saturday, June 10th, 2006

Fatah “activists” (Ha’aretz’s word, not mine) kidnapped someone named Benjamin Bright-Fishbein, possibly from a coffeeshop in Nablus. Once they realized he was an American and not an Israeli, Brigit-Fishbein was handed over to the IDF. Brigit-Fishbein had been studying at Hebrew University and was in Nablus as a tourist. Now I say we live in […]

Rockets!

We spent a couple hours at ROCstock today, out in the Lucerne Dry Lake, 2848 feet above sea level (that’s high). Here are some pictures. Someone with a better camera took pictures too, and I’ll post them if I get a hold of them:

Friday abstract art blogging

Hooray for technological confabulations (this post was actually authored on Sunday since I forgot about Friday abstract art blogging): Kandinsky’s On White II (1923). Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris. Find out more about Wassily Kandinsky.

$40k Push Poll?

Friday, June 9th, 2006

So far, this is the most intriguing of answers to my question about how the Warner campaign lost it. I wonder where I can get another source on this (from the comments on my MyDD diary): Wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t heard it myself, but Wes Clark – here in Vegas for the […]

CA-26: An Election Day Mystery

Thursday, June 8th, 2006

[cross-posted at Daily Kos, MyDD and Calitics] A week ago, I wrote a diary here asking for suggestions for starting a new blog to cover the race in CA-26. Two nights ago, I watched and reloaded, slightly disbelieving the preliminary results in the Democratic primary in CA-26, David Dreier (R-Closet)’s district. Russ Warner, endorsed by […]

Hmm…

Browsing Wikipedia, I found this entry and this entry particularly intriguing.

Post mortem?

Wednesday, June 7th, 2006

There’s a few comments below lamenting Warner’s defeat. Does anyone have insight into what happened with the campaign? I’m reluctant to try to do a post mortem right now considering how far off I was (just scroll down and you’ll see). Maybe this will be a much more personal blog after all. Posting this for […]

Umm…wow

Wednesday, June 7th, 2006

That was unexpected:  Democratic Cynthia Rodriguez Matthews 12,836 47.0 Russ Warner 10,308 37.8 Hoyt Hilsman 4,172 15.2 Melvin C. (Mel) Milton 3,295 8.2 Sonny Sardo 10,692 26.9 * David Dreier 25,852 64.9 Clearly something is going on in this district. One piece may be who bothered to vote. Over at MyDD, Matt Stoller makes this […]
