Sen. Chris Dodd, & the few other Senators & activists who supported him, are real American heros for preventing a bill which would give immunity to telecommunication companies for breaking the law by spying on Americans without a FISA court approval.
In these Gee Dubbz years, I often find myself saying "Damn, I thought this was America" (c) Randy from South Park. Today, for once, it's the reverse, more like "Damn, today it actually IS still America".

Chris Dodd is a good choice, but doubt he'll make much of a splash in Iowa.
In Iowa a candidate must have 15% of the votes in that caucus to be "viable".... those supporting nonviable candidates must then support another candidate that is viable or not vote. I always caucus but my first choice is rarely viable and I must thus throw support to another candidate.
Perhaps this year all of the nonviables can group together under one candidate who didn't make the 15% cut.... like Biden or Dodd. We'll see, I'll do my best.
gotta love those telecom companies.
riiiiiight.
and that Patriot Act. Oh yeah, where would I be without that thing?
oh, right, living in a non-Police state. What a concept!
keep spittin the real shit, egc.
Chris Todd's finger scares me
I think the "nonviable" votes ought to group for Richardson. This man says "troops out of Iraq within one yr", has real experience on energy issues, real-deal experience on foreign policy stuff, and a governor of a significant state where there are a lot of independents AND Latinos - both growing demographics.
We need somebody like Richardson in the White House, even if as a Vice Pres.
