Wow...I must've been asleep at the wheel here...I've never heard of this guy before. I just saw a clip on Crooks & Liars of Representative Tim Ryan of Ohio speaking, today, I believe. He's freakin good. Here's the clip (wmv)

So I went to You Tube, hoping to find the clip to embed here, but it hasn't been posted yet. But I did find another recent one of him speaking that's pretty good, too. I like this guy:



I hope he doesn't have sex or money...that way he can go without scandal and maybe run for higher office...sadly.

So, I also bumped into a good blog posting about Dems still getting bullied by Republicans about funding the war. Check out this post at MyDD. Well said.

On the Podcast, we've been encouraging folks to call their Representative & Senators to tell them to stop funding the war. E-mails won't work here, we have to call. It's pretty much the only way we're going to get this war stopped...Kucinich is the only presidential candidate who will flatly say he will pull troops out immediately and we're all too fucking stupid to vote for him. (actually, the party itself would never let him win the nomination - which is why "progressives" who register Dem to work for him are wasting their time)

So, again. Call your so-called representatives! I did it and it took a total of 8 minutes to leave messages with all 3 - and that includes the 5 minutes Clintonbagger put me on hold. Here are the links:

Your Senator
Your Congressperson

Call!
