     It’s not just Murtha.  The trio looks kind of scary.  The well-fed white guys running things — the kind of thing Thomas Nast could run with.

   I’m already frivolous.

   I posted this in the morning cafe, but I think it is fun enough for a repeat – not many saw it, I think.

   Branford Boy at MLN announces a passing of the torch:

   My Left Nutmeg :: Where Connecticut Dems Scratch That Progressive Itch:

   “From the get-go, MyLeftNutmeg was envisioned as a community site, not a vehicle for any one person. However, the real world demands that every blog must have an ‘owner,’ someone who controls the domain registration, pays the hosting bills, responds to media inquiries, and so forth. Since August 2005 that person has been me.

   But no more. I am moving on to other things and have passed the baton, as it were, to younger, more capable hands. The new ‘owner’ of My Left Nutmeg is ctblogger of ConnecticutBLOG fame.”

   These simple words, to ctblogger, that spurred champions on:

   To you from failing hands we throw
   The torch; be yours to hold it high.
   -In Flanders Fields

   Did you see it when Murtha’s voice cracked with emotion?
   And that patrick Murphy.  wow.  He is going to be something in a couple of years.

     That’s very true…Murtha closing with emotion, Patrick opening with his in-country experience and quotation, and Tim Walz emphasizing that November’s election has consequences. Today’s vote was a significant marker along the way.

   Wow! If you didn’t see Bill Maher’s Real Time tonight on HBO, you must make a point to see it — esp. his closing remarks. Eloquent!

   He spent most of the time defending Valerie and Joe Wilson, talking about what patriots they are, how they’ve been wronged, how it is
   T-R-E-A-S-O-N, etc. etc. I was cheering….and clapping….and stomping my feet! WOW!

   And, the expression on David Frum’s face (on the panel tonight) when he was finished….. PRICELESS!!!

   All of you here — really MUST see it!
