Donate to Dems in tough districts who voted for HCR without needing Bart Stupak to tell them that it was ok.
Or, donate to this list of Dems who have had their offices vandalized. Thanks to reader Menzies for compiling it.

I’ll donate when I get paid next, and will throw in something to Bob Etheridge (NC). He’s in a tough district in Eastern NC, was noncommittal for a while, but was never a Stupaker to my knowledge. North Carolina dems disappointed overall, I would say he was the only vulnerable one who voted for it.

Today’s dispatch from Lake Batshit (shorter):
“First they came for Ron Paul.
But I was not Ron Paul, so I said nothing.
Then they came for Glenn Greenwald.
But I was not Glenn Greenwald, so I said nothing.
Then they came for David Frum.
But I was not David Frum, so I said nothing.
Then they came for Jane Hamsher.
But I am Jane Hamsher, and I WILL NOT SHUT THE FUCK UP.”
Tee hee.
(sorry, can’t help it. Yes, I KNOW I have a problem…)

@eemom: By the time they come for Jane Hamsher, we will all be half-dead from ennui.

@jeffreyw: Awwwwww. That made me smile. I keep promising myself, “no more animals”, but pictures like that make it hard.

Surely been mentioned already, but Apple have apparently pulled all Fox advertising because of Glen Beck et al.

Militia raids were over plot to “levy war” against the US Government
Detroit—Nine members of a militia group arrested in Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Ohio were planning to “levy war” against the United States and “oppose by force” the nation’s government, according to an indictment released this morning in U.S. District Court in Detroit.
The eight men and one woman are members of the “Hutaree,” identified as an “anti-government extremist organization” in the indictment, and each faces three to five charges, including sedition, attempts to use weapons of mass destruction, teaching/demonstrating use of explosive materials and two counts of carrying weapons in relation to a crime of violence.

@SIA:
re: claustrophobia and flying.
Try imagining that the
People’sCitizens United Republic of Baby Jeebusstan has just been declared and you are on the last airplane out. Sort of like Saigon in 1975. Maybe that will help.SIA - March 29, 2010 | 2:43 pm · Link
