Lemme pimp — on wait, I’m whorin’, not pimpin’ — I don’t know — anyway, NOT one other news outlet has picked up Amy Goodman’s exclusive interview this morning.
The man she interviewed is a 2004 Democratic candidate for Congress in New Mexico, a former CIA agent (in Laos, etc.), a DEA Special Agent, and a veteran … and his son is intensive care after having the crap beat out of him by 8 “Red Mafia” thugs who also work for Halliburton/KBR security at the Baghdad airport. Hello, CNN? MSNBC? How about even a local New Mexico TV station? diary
It’s here too … over yonder in Recent Diaries, next to them hoople-heads. (Boo, I know what hoople-heads means.)
on this Goodbye Cruel Kos diary, go ahead.
The diary itself is uninteresting. The thread is where the action is act.
I’ve been waiting for an open thread to say that it’s about time we had a good Goodbye Cruel World diary here. It seems to spice things up a little!
… no one remembers I already wrote one.
ok, so I didn’t leave… so!?
oh yadayada it wasn’t sincere… so!?
yeesh!

Well, this is it. I’m not leaving and it’s all your fault you…people (if that IS your real name)….
if some conservative wanted to shake the hornets nest for laughs… a fake GBCW diary at dkos would do it.
ooops, I’ve said too much.
later kid.
It’s because we all know that you’re sincere. I always visualise you wearing a sincere suit, ernestly urging the perfectability of mankind to those of us leaning up against the 7-11 wall.
it’s all well earned rolfy! I know the path from cynicism to optimism… one that doesn’t even go through the valley of self delusion!
I’d tell you but I think you already know your own ways through the same jungle.
OMG .. I’m laughing almost as hard as I did at Bob Johnson’s diary this morning.
I put several chapters of Haley’s Nose there, and people just completely ignored it, a couple of people said nice things, but I just sort of psychically sensed that most of them had no idea how to process it.
Maybe I will post it here and see if you all are any less bewildered. Or you can read it on the blog, some of it is there.
In other news, I made a gray box!

Usama is chillin’ on Bush’s Crawford, TX farm knocking back wild turkey with Jenna and her college pals.
I thought it might be something like this.

Anyone know where to find detailed voting records for congressmen like for an entire career?
Ok, here we go, everybody write a good bye cruel Republican Party diary, then we’ll email them to every republican outlet we can find…should keep them guessing for about a week, as to how many donations they’ve lost,,,, ; )
If you wanna see a Neo-Con sweat,,,tell him your not gonna donate anymore…
If we generate about 15-20 thousand letters..someone will loose at least a week’s sleep..

‘Rallying Democrats, Dean blasts Santorum”
Thursday, March 31 @ 05:59:10 PST by howard martin
“Democratic National Chairman Howard Dean ripped into U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum at a party fund-raiser in Old City last night. Dean, a former Vermont governor and former Democratic presidential candidate, called Santorum, a Republican who is up for reelection in Pennsylvania in 2006, a “liar” and “right-winger” who actually lives in Virginia. “He doesn’t tell the truth,” Dean told a gathering of about 150 at Bluezette on Market Street. Dean said Santorum had voted to kill Amtrak, an important service in Pennsylvania, and had then turned around and written a piece for The Inquirer saying he supported Amtrak. He said that Santorum should return the more than $100,000 that Santorum’s declared home school district, the Penn Hills School District in Allegheny County, paid over the last few years to educate his children at the Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School. While attending the school online, Santorum’s children actually lived at his house in the Virginia suburbs of Washington. The charter school and the Penn Hills district are in a dispute over payments for Santorum’s children. Santorum has maintained that he has followed the law. The party chairman said Democrats need “message discipline.” He said they should for the present forgo the satisfaction of attacking House Majority Leader Tom DeLay’s ethics problems or the controversy over what he called the Bush administration’s government-paid “propaganda” and focus on attacking Bush’s plan to create private Social Security accounts. Polls show the proposal is unpopular. “We’re on a roll with Social Security,” Dean said. “We need to focus on this, and we need to keep the focus on it.” “-from the article in the Philadephia Inquirer today. You’ll probably need to register to read the whole thing. Bloomberg catches up with Dean and covers his recent red state travels with “Dean Seeks to Recruit, Energize Democrats in Pro-Bush States.”
