Got through the middle of the week again, only two more days to go. So what's happening?

E-Mail Advises Bush on Social Security

"The success of President Bush's push to remake Social Security depends on convincing the public that the system is 'heading for an iceberg,' according to a White House strategy e-mail that makes the case for cutting benefits promised for the future.

Calling the effort 'one of the most important conservative undertakings of modern times,' Karl Rove deputy Peter Wehner says in the e-mail that 'the Social Security battle is one we can win.' Doing so would advance the idea of limited government and could transform the nation's political landscape, he said."

Yeah, I think we need to take the politics out of this and figure out what needs to be done to keep this program going. The idea here should not be to begin to dismantle the 'New Deal'. If you conservatives keep this up you are going to get slapped back soon. You have been warned.



My friend Summer, who works part time at Crate & Barrel in D.C. helped Barack Obama pick out a table tonight. She just called me to tell me. Pretty cool. He is really a star in the Senate and I think he will be a great President one day. Hopefully he will sign on to Rep. Conyers challenge of tomorrow's certification of the election.

Dem Lays Out Case Against Bush's Ohio Win

Not because I think it will change anything, but because it needs to be addressed.

Oh and don't forget, Roberto Gonzales's confirmation hearing is tomorrow.

Gonzales Promises Non-Torture Policy

"Attorney General nominee Alberto Gonzales is promising senators that he will abide by treaties prohibiting the torture of prisoners, despite deriding the restraints as relics in 2002."

Oh that is great news.

Ok that's it.
