I'm from the newly formed Paris '08 Committee
and I demand front page action for this video! How dare Kos hide this from the people!   Only Paris -- can speak for US! She wants to go Obama - but Britiney won't  let her.  I predicted this.

It's been a little quiet on the Super front. Hillary Clinton was 1-0 for yesterday so today makes up for that.
(so far)

One of todays Supers was on the rules committee, so hopefully we'll see more announce that were on the committee and wanted to wait.

These are via Time's "The Page"

Today’s Tally: Obama 2, Clinton 0
OBAMA GETS:
–Maine add-on super Gwethalyn Phillips of Bangor.
–Nevada DNC super and member of the Rules Committee Yvonne Gates.

Update1:

HatTip: by Daniel Gruhn

ZappoDave: Could it be? A concession speech? NY on the last election night?

Coming home?

Hillary's spending Monday night in New York City, a suggestion that she'll be having election night in her home state Tuesday.

That would be her first New York election night since Super Tuesday,when she won big states but, in retrospect, more or less lost the nomination.

Update2: Ben Smith at Politico has retracted. He says she will be in Washington, DC.

Now if you are a vegetarian or against hunting and trapping. This diary might not be for you.

Mike Hucklebee brought up the subject of eating sqirrels on his campaign stump. If this will gain him any votes. I have no idea. However it might be interesting if someone followed him around with a pot of squirrel stew for him to sample, kind of like the Lieberman Kiss Float.

But eating squirrel brought up memories of squirrel and rabbit stews that poorer families in our small town hunted and cooked.

More below the fold.

I'd like this one to be just a poll, but also to cause some to think more about our election process.

Some of my points:

This new NIE report begins to reverberate around the World:

Europeans See Murkier Case for Sanctions

"Officially, we will study the document carefully; unofficially, our efforts to build up momentum for another resolution are gone," said one European official involved in the diplomacy.

Another senior European official called the conclusions of the assessment "unfathomable."

Russia and China have resisted the passage of more punitive sanctions, and Vitaly Churkin, the Russian ambassador to the United Nations, praised the report as vindication of Russia’s position.

"We have always been saying there is no proof they are pursuing nuclear weapons," Mr. Churkin told reporters. He added, however, that he did not know what impact the report would have on the new initiative for more sanctions.

No country in the world will support Cheney and the rest of them now. None.
Well ... the UK will be luke warm. In Public anyway.

The Diary that tops the list today is the breaking news of Scott McClellan's book to be released in April with the a title that resembles OJ's "If I Did It" with his new book "What Happened".

Of course we're always damn near over run with trolls, but has anyone else noticed the lack of veracity and gumption in them lately?

Longtime Bush adviser Karen Hughes is quitting her position pitching U.S. image abroad.

Story is out now:

Karen Hughes to leave State Department

I believe she may be the last Texan Bushie in the W Administration/regime.

Oh man. When I read this my head almost left my shoulders:

On his radio show today, Beck said: "I think there is a handful of people who hate America. Unfortunately for them, a lot of them are losing their homes in a forest fire today."

Beck: CA wildfires hitting some ‘people who hate America.’

Unfortunately - there's more below the fold:

I know - I know. All the countless diaries speculating on will Colbert run or not have worn us all thin, but Stephen Colbert has announced and the race is on.

It was announced on Air America Radio, Jon Elliot's show tonight, that Randi Rhodes was attacked in a park in NYC walking her dog.
----------------

Reports are there has been NO attack.

UPDATE: Air America's Website is reporting the following:

October 16-NEW YORK-On Sunday evening, October 14, Air America host Randi Rhodes experienced an unfortunate incident hindering her from hosting her show. The reports of a presumed hate crime are unfounded. Ms. Rhodes looks forward to being back on the air on Thursday.

The New York Daily News is reporting:

Air America host Randi Rhodes wasn't mugged

I've borrowed this idea from Al Franken who predicted a couple years ago that the W would not appear at the GOP convention.

At the time he was poo-pooed pretty good.

Why of course the sitting president would speak and attend the pundits said, but now, two years later it's not that wild a thought that he might not be there.

The 2008 Republican National Convention will take place at the Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul, Minnesota from September 1 until September 4, 2008.[1] The first day of the Republican convention will be Labor Day, the last day of the popular Minnesota State Fair. (The RNC National Convention will be held four days after the conclusion of the Democratic National Convention which will be held in Denver, Colorado at the Pepsi Center). This is the latest any major party convention has ever been convened and the first one to take place entirely in September.

Browsing before drowsing, as I always do. I stumbled upon that old staple for late night entertainment  
Red State.org.

I check a story or two of the same old usual suspects and I find this ...

this gem of a Diary from there, I invite everyone to click the link (below) and see the "debate" in action.

Beware .... it's .... an ..... ugly one.

Alan Greenspan finally gets grilled on his comments that the Iraq invasion and occupation is over oil.

Naomi Klein quickly lets him know invading a country over their resources is illegal under International law.

This is a song from a good friend of ours here in Oregon. He's appeared on local radio programs, bars and concerts in Washington and Oregon.

This song really hits to the heart.

Please give it a listen. I figure it's pertinent to the September surge and wanted others to have a chance to hear it.

Russell's voice have guttural emotion and his lyrics are ... well awesome.

That's right folks, the Bush gang's War in Iraq is taking a "wider spread" in Basra.

The US military is ready to intervene in southern Iraq to quell any unrest as British forces prepare to pull out from their last base in the oil port of Basra, the Pentagon says.

Press reports in London suggest that the British departure and handover of security control to Iraqi forces may be imminent, although the official line is that it will take place before the end of the year.

US ready to step into Basra as British pull out

It's a port city, so hopefully it's needed for an exit from Iraq.

This is unexpected ... No?

As we all know, Larry Craig was arrested in June, Sentenced August 11th, and the story broke Monday the 29th, but who knew before then?

CNN and MSNBC have said they knew nothing about it till it broke.

How was this story tamped down? Will this be a story, behind the story?

Riff-Raff and blogger types are on to us.

From here on out (this is an official notice) White House resignations can happen on any given day.

This week we offered one example of how an official can step down on another day other then Friday.
