So, I'll start: So, I wonder if and how many of the Tea Party kooks are going to make it into Congress?
They kinda scare me, and they should scare the average voter too, if they paid attention...

November is going to be interesting...

So what are you howling about tonight?

So, I'll start: Well, we watched the Brian Williams Katrina Anniversary Special tonight....
It was very moving. Rachel has also been broadcasting from NOLA for the past couple of days. A couple things in the coverage worth noting:

There is a whole lot that is still - STILL - not being rebuilt around here, and if this was any other large city, I think that might be a little different.

Second, we still really haven't had a serious race and class discussion; maybe a little bit on race cuz of Obama's election, and maybe a little bit on class cuz of the Great Recession, but not on the level it needs to be...

And we need both.

So what are you howling about tonight?

So, I'll start: So, I worked most of the day and haven't heard anything really new that I want to howl about...
Lots of little things - frustration with the right, frustration with the Obama Administration...

What is there to howl about tonight?

And how are ya?

So, I'll start: So why oh why isn't the Obama Admin seizing on the opportunity to do something that is good and politically right...
By just coming out and appointing Elizabeth Warren?

I don't - I really don't understand their mindset. The only plausible explanation I can come up with is they want to go easy on Wall Street...

What are you howling about tonight?

So, I'll start: So, here's a great read from Think Progress...
It basically outlines how much these "constitution-loving" conservatives actually hate the Constitution.

The GOP Versus The Constitution

So that's on my radar tonight!

What's on yours?

So, I'll start: Well, I wish we had more Ds in government who have fire in their belly...
Anthony Weiner (D-NY) gave a good show of it yesterday on the House Floor and Alan Grayson (D-FL) regularly shows his fire...

Why oh why don't the others have that fire... Especially in this climate...

So, I'll start: Well, all you need for a howl tonight is to say a few names...
Shirley Sherrod, Andrew Breitbart, Faux Noise, Tom Vilsack, and Obama...

Talk about a week of drahhhhma!...

And in that order, I say, brave, tenacious woman, bottom-feeding hack, wingnut propaganda central, knee-jerk idiot, and wuss.

So what say you all?

So, I'll start: So Boehner wants a moratorium on any new federal regulations...
And he thinks that'll work...

I'm not sure which scares me the most: That the GOPers don't have any plan other than to go back to the same old things they were doing to wreck the country in the first place, or that they might regain power in November...

Both scare the crap out of me...

So what are you Howling about tonight?

but I'm watching an old GREAT movie and it's so good I can't remember the things I was howling about earlier...

It's Arsenic and Old Lace if you were wonderin'! :D

So what are you Howling about?

So, I'll start: Kudos to Michael Steele...
He has done the unthinkable - with his latest idiocy, he actually has Bill Kristol quoting the DNC, in seeming agreement even...

Wow! Maybe Steele is a uniter and not a divider, lol...

So, I'll start: So WaPo is getting McChrystal's back...
and David Brooks is too...

Rolling Stone was just out to get poor Stanley... He probably never meant to have those comments public (he just talked about it in front of reporters doing a story on him...)...

Bad journalists - they shouldn't report actuality...

Of course, there are journalistic outlets doing their job:

Media Missing the McChrystal Point
