Here is what can be done about the right wing wackos.

When I started CallingAllWingnuts, one of the hundreds of bloggers that came by to introduce themselves was Spocko of Spockosbrain (now defunct, for reasons soon to become revealed). Spocko was doing some work related to my own in his own market in California's Bay Area. His target? KSFO, home of Melanie Morgan, Lee Rogers, Brian Sussman and other poisonous 2nd rate talk show wingers.

Since this is Spocko's gig, I'm gonna pretty much use his words to explain what's gone down. Before the flip, to give you something to chew on as you click to the full story, I can tell you this much: you're gonna love what you read. Spocko has actually cost Disney money - he chased away advertisers and forced them to pay a law firm to intimidate his ISP. The story isn't all good though - Spocko's broke and can't afford to wage the legal battle, so he's shut down. That said, maybe we can use this space to buck up his spirits a little bit and see if there are any lawyers that want to file a Rule 11 motion against Disney's unscrupulous lawyers...

Read the rest Then consider what to do about this

The right tries to paint the election rout as a call for commity. Look at the polls, Suckahs!

From the Carpetbagger:

...in what’s rumored to be a 50-50 nation, Democratic policy goals have broad support. They’re the kind of results that could, if Dems wanted, have a considerable effect on the process moving forward.

As (Matt) Stoller noted, “Nine out of eleven of these has more than 2:1 public support. Six out of eleven have 3:1 public support, and four out of eleven has 4:1 public support. This is a popular agenda. In other words, the arguments about bipartisanship put out by Bush, business lobbyists, insiders, and the pundits are just an excuse to ignore the public.”

I think that’s largely true. Results like these suggest the public actually wants Dems to do what they said they would do. This isn’t about how quickly Dems can compromise on their agenda; it’s about delivering a series of progressive policies that enjoy considerable public support.
