Props to the Abrams Report on MSGOP tonight...

[bossfish]

...Dan is taking a strong stand on the Schiavo case tonight - based on the legal merits.

Nice job.

[Hamlette]

1. he did last night too...breath of fresh air.

maybe those who disagree with congress will think of switching to Adrams, Olberman and Stewart.

[bossfish]

3. He's digging in vs the stooge from the American...

...Eagle Freedom Liberty Homeland Apple Pie Foundation or whatever the fuck they're called.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. Ever noticed that virtually all right-wing advocacy groups

have two or more of the following words in their names:

American
Family
Children
Concerned
Heritage
Defend/Defense
Values
Protect/Protection
Liberty
Freedom
Christian

So when some blow-dried, glassy-eyed stooge from the Concerned Families Protecting American Values Foundation appears on your teevee to talk about -- well, anything -- you know he will be a right-wing fuckwit of the worst sort.

18. THIS, is why I love DU. For the most part I spend my day having

to "dumb down" to communicate with most of my coworkers (heavy repuke contingent) and then I come here and can get QUALITY analyses like Ocelot's and I get them in QUANTITY too!!

"right-wing fuckwit of the worst sort" Ahh, like a fine wine...

8. Oh, an Ursula Le Guin fan; the quote is great; so was Abrams tonight!

10. Aw, thank you. :)

It struck me when I read it in literature class. I felt the need to jot it down. The entire thing was too long for a sig, so I improvised a bit. :)

[shelley806]

11. Please tell me which novel it's from? I read several many years ago;

all science fiction. The ones I remember (only the titles, can't remember much else its been that long, other than I loved reading them) The Left Hand of Darkness, The Disposessed, Always Coming Home...

[deadparrot]

12. "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas," one of her short stories.

:)

[shelley806]

13. Thank you so much; I'll have to check it out. I didn't know (or had

forgotten) that she wrote short stories.

[deadparrot]

14. This one's particularly sad, but

a good read for liberals.

[shelley806]

15. Sadness...Just remembering my youthful naivete when I read hers and

other works years ago makes me nostalgic..a form of sadness. I never thought that the world would end up in the current state tht it is.

[deadparrot]

16. Yes...this one hit home because of current events.

All about those who are forgotten and suffering in society, and how we shut them away and go on pretending like everything's fine.

Gave me goosebumps.:scared:

[shelley806]

19. Your posts have given me goosebumps tonight as have my memories.

I'm feeling that I'm fated to read this story, and maybe I'll try to find her old novels. (Goosebumps in a good way though; not related so much to fear as to ...? don't know, maybe intuition)

[deadparrot]

20. I haven't read too much of her

outside of class, but her writing does strike a chord in today's society.

[SW FL Dem]

6. .I should be in bed, but I am up watching this

It is nice to see some real reporting once in a while.

[fooj]

17. Yes. Bet he'll get a whippin' after the show!!!

Seriously- he WAS on fire! Nice to see someone speaking TRUTH on the tube!
