Tuesday’s blowout election for Weiner’s former seat, New York 9 is probably a good indication that there is a storm gathering. You remember Anthony Weiner from last May-June, don’t you? And that Florida Airline’s “Hot Dog” fares? Great New Yawk shtick.
Drudge’s Wednesday headline (above) hammered it home. It was the first time since 1923, or 88-years, that New York 9 switched parties—they elected an “R” by a 9-point margin in a district that is about 80% registered “D”. Talk about the ground trembling--that's actually a 20-point shift in a district that favored our "D" prez by 11-points in 2008. Add the switches of the VA governor, the NJ governor, Teddy Kennedy’s MA senate seat, and a Nevada 2 red/blue switch, and one can palpably feel the 2012 storm gathering.
Nevertheless, there are a few more things I want to capture here that came to light during my short-term, rocky relationship with a Class of 1965 lefty. His favorite web sites tended to be Truthout and Common Dreams. At the lower portion of the Common Dreams page are several boxes divided into many more links. It’s about as good an aggregation of this kind of stuff as I’ve found…might be worth a look just to keep yourself advised of what these folks are thinking and doing.I haven’t included any conservative links as I believe you probably already have your own favorites and are keeping informed through them. I don’t think they are as numerous as the leftist sites and they don’t appear to be as vigorously linked together.
Adios

Good now more to review and read. Hang in there, DILBERT rules.
This one won't be as active....maybe a once a week peek will do. However, "breaking stupidity" nearly always warrants a look. Try a direct desktop shortcut if you're not already using them. Gus
