Howie has fallen under the sway of Mme Malkin. He thinks if he sucks up enough by trashing Democrats, she'll let him carry her books home after school.

What's with the diary on the Testifiers?

As an atheist, all the religious engage in some kind of non-rational professings, the JW are no more or less peculiar than the rest.

What prompted the particular outrage? Is there a pending case?

"his campaign", uh, in case you haven't heard, the Primary is over, OUR Democratic nominee is Barack Obama. He's not asking "Clinton supporters" he's asking "Democrats" to support the Democratic Presidential nominee. If the situation had been reversed, I would be giving money to Clinton, as I did for Kerry, Gore, Clinton, and so on, even though I was for another candidate (Dean, Bradley, Brown) in those Democratic primaries. I'm an adult, and I know the difference between Republicans and Democrats, that's why I vote Democratic.

The Primary campaign is over. The only people left still tied to an on-going "Clinton supporter" identification are Republican operatives and 11% of former Clinton voters who insist they are actually Republican voters (for whatever reasons). Which, btw, is precisely the same percentage of Democratic voters in who did not support Kerry and voted for Bush in 2004.

If you don't want to get email from the Democratic Party nominee for President, just let my party know that you are actually a bitter member of the dwindling anti-choice, pro 100 year war, anti-global warming, pro-ANWR drilling, anti-universal health care, pro-torture, anti-civil liberties SCOTUS, pro-country club, anti-women, anti-black, gosh darn grrreat Republican Party. Personally, I'm with Senator Clinton, I'm backing and voting for Barack Obama for President. I suppose you can give her the finger too.

I'll leave the Euclidian geometry to others, but I can say that the lighting is off. There is no bounce at all onto the glassy counter surface from her or her light colored clothes, in a kitchen that should have a lot of light bounce (shiny countertops, white cabinets) She's in very high key lighting from the left with secondary spot lighting lower and just to the right. You can see just how much reflection Norm gets onto surfaces from his lighting in the background.

But they can easily prove this is real by releasing *outtakes* and *b-roll*. This could be such an east slam dunk "you intertube trolls don't have a life" gimme for the Coleman folks if they're telling the truth, so, gimme.

Sorry, but how was Ms Bartoshevich disenfranchised exactly? This seems to be the source of her claim of dissatisfaction with the nominee of the Democratic Party.

Bartoshevich is from *Wisconsin*, a state that voted on February 19: 646,851 58.1% for Obama and 453,954 40.8% for Clinton.

As to those who claim that they are voting Republican because they could never vote for a political party that "disenfranchised" legal voters by counting their votes at 50%, uh, the Republicans only counted their Florida Primary voters at 50%.

Posted at June 15, 2008 12:48 AM in response to What is disenfranchisement, really?

Unfortunately, Bartoshevich didn't get the quote from Susan B. Anthony, quite right.

Bartoshevich said: "...no self-respecting woman would wish or work for the success of a party which ignores her..."

Susan B Anthony, however, said
"I was never surer of my position that no self-respecting woman would wish or work for the success of a party which ignores her -political rights-." (from pg. 794 from the book, "The Life and Work of Susan B. Anthony," by Ida Husted Harper, 1898.)

I hope Ms Bartoshevich asks herself, in what might be an unusual moment of self-reflection, which party has a consistent track record of ignoring women's rights?
