Tuesday Stuff (updates)

When I think of Elizabeth Edwards, I will think of moments just like this…



…and by the way, Mr. President, I think someone here is being “sanctimonious,” but it isn’t who you think (if I hear that Russ Feingold is mounting a primary challenge, count on me for a few bucks...more here)…



…as K.O. explains in his “Special Comment” (and by the way, for reasons that would take too long to explain, I ended up on the right-wing listserv of Richard Viguerie, and he sent an Email tonight with the following message – “Liberals, You Have Nowhere To Go”…gee, ya’ think the wingnuts are looking to capitalize on this?)…



Update 1 12/8/10: Gary Weckselblatt, Mike Fitzpatrick’s designated stenographer for the Bucks County Courier Times, cited the National Taxpayer’s Union today as a group that basically supported the Obama tax plan. I guess it was too much trouble to note that the group is bankrolled by Philip Morris (here...sorry, no link yet from that miracle of technology known as phillyburbs.com).

Update 2 12/8/10: Oh, so now it's threats, Mr. President? Taking a page out of the playbook of Former President Alfred E. Bush, are we?

…and once again, as a tribute to Elizabeth Edwards (a person who probably would be embarrassed by the outpouring of sympathy at this moment, though it is richly deserved), I’d like to put up this tune which has been running around in my head since I first learned of her passing.
