‘Bad boys, Bad Boys, What ya gonna do when they come for you?’

“Bad boys, bad boys, What ya gonna do when they come for you?” Now that song will stay in my head all day. LOL!

Oh that ‘Rule of Law’. Remember how many times we heard Republicans on the Judiciary Committee say this during the Clinton Impeachment? Bad words (Lies) and bad deeds do have a way of coming back at you.

I cannot help but think of the big bad boys in the white house are all playing out their childhood vengeances. Without going into their backgrounds, I can imagine that Bush, Cheney, Delay, Rove, Frist etc., were all bullied as little wimpy boys and finally got their chance to pay back society for picking on them. With DUI’s in Bush and Cheney’s background, and lord knows what is lurking in Delay and Rove’s childhoods, one can psychoanalyze to death the ‘reasons’ they have made their own rule of laws.

Reenergize America – A Democratic Blueprint

Promoted by Jerome. We’d love your input on how to improve this document.

[written in collaboration with Jerome a Paris and Devilstower, with a hat tip to Doolittle Sothere.]

Almost three weeks ago, Jerome a Paris put together at Daily Kos the first draft of what we hope to transform into a bold, consistent, easy-to-understand Democratic energy agenda. Readers were asked to offer their own ideas, and the response was gratifying. Today, at five Web sites, we’re presenting the Second Draft, in which we’ve added some of readers’ deas, further honed ours and polished some of the language, with readers assistance.

We’re not done yet. This draft won’t be the last. So we’re asking for readers’ help again, both for content and style. We don’t mind if you nitpick. We want to hear your ideas and objections, big and small. Ultimately, of course, somebody has to decide what the Final Version will look like, and that will be the three of us. But for now, every word, every idea and the format itself are fair game for critiquing.

Latest on Wilma : Updated Wed. 10PM EDT

OK folks, I have to go to bed soon, but I think this is important.

Hurricane Wilma has strengthened over the last 12 hours in nearly unprecedented rapidity.  The folks on the weather channel are just about choking on their tongues trying to describe this right now.

As they say in Star Wars : I’ve got a bad feeling about this.

More on the flip.
