Imagine resizing a window with one mouse at each end of a window. But my idea of dual mouse is the use of both at the same time. I think the use of two mouse will be very useful especialy for mulit tasking.

in Hillary Clinton Splits Coralville Crowd on The Iowa Independent
OVERFLOW CROWD John,
Did Clinton pay you each time you used the phrase OVERFLOW CROWD?
And to the previous poster asking where the other senators were as Dodd spoke-what does it matter at this point?
The Congress is absolutley ineffectual-just hand the president another blank check and then make excuses, place blame, and spin it when someone bothers to ask you why with all of your "experience" and "fighting" -NOTHING CHANGES!

in Obama Tops Democratic Power Rankings, Clinton Takes Third on The Iowa Independent
Edwards and Standing Room Edwards has NO game outside of Iowa-none. A standing room only for Edwards is not impressive-he just picks smaller rooms than Clinton and Obama. Not only that, but supporters of Edwards are bordering on inflammatory in their phone-calling and door-knocking-telling Obama supporters that they should switch because America is not ready for a Black president and that Edwards is the only candidate to win in the South. Really? Remember 2004?

FOX to Air One-Hour Special Mythologizing Petraeus as Infallible Warrior God, Symbol of All Soldiers

Anyone starting to see what’s happening here?
When it was revealed that Petraeus would give an exclusive hour-long interview on FOX after his first day of testimony, we knew that his report would be more fixed than one of Bob Barker’s cats and was designed solely to fulfill Bush’s grand Iraq strategy: stall so Bush can run out the clock and have another president clean up his mess.
The fake controversy over MoveOn’s ad showed how desperately republicans want to avoid any meaningful debate about Iraq, what our goals are, and how to get out. They’d rather scold four million MoveOn members over an ad than give our troops the down time they need and get the US out of a war that the majority of Americans no longer support.
And now this: FOX will be airing a one-hour special on Petraeus this weekend. Following Bush’s lead, the entire republican party has decided that the only way they can avoid their responsibility for the Iraq war is to hide behind Petraeus’ sloping shoulders. In a press conference the other day, Bush claimed that attacking Petraeus was somehow the same as attacking the integrity of American soldiers, despite the fact that the MoveOn ad only addressed Petraeus, and he was the lone soldier to present cooked numbers to Congress that day.
So this is the republican line: questioning Petraeus, his integrity, and his strategy is un-American and insults soldiers serving and dying in Iraq. Petraeus, not Bush or the republicans, knows how to win the Iraq war, and is ready to lead the way to victory. Questioning him keeps us from winning. Keeping soldiers there indefinitely is Petraeus' plan, not Bush's or the republicans'.

Fox News Pulls the Race card!

pssst!
GAHHHHH! Only in America can you take a case that clearly violates civil rights, is clearly racially biased, is clearly and utterly about race and claim that it is REVERSE RACISM! Only Fox News can get away with such a ridiculous remark.
Let me just address the self loathing Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, because his complete and utter attempts to drum disregard racism entirely are laughable.
#1. The Activists protesting in Jena, LA are themselves racists – This he knows because why? They are calling for more reasonable charges for 6 young men, some of whom were not even involved in an altercation with another student? Since when is fighting for civil liberties racist? Is Martin Luther King a racist?
#2 – DA Reed Walters may have been talking to all off the students when he said he could end their lives with the stroke of a pen: Yes Rev. Lee, he may have been, and the world also maybe flat. The DA showed up at the school AFTER the black students held a protest, an peaceful protest under the “white” tree. There’s nothing more terrifying to a town of 3000 – predominately white citizens when the young intelligent black people stand up for themselves, better nip that in the bud.
#3 – Six black students were attacking one black student that had nothing to do with the nooses – It has been repeatedly stated that these six men were rounded up and accused because of their proximity to the fight. I surely hope that Rev. Lee doesn’t happen to be around the next time the police are racial profiling for a homicide. Who knows, you might get tossed in the paddy wagon with the rest of the degenerates.
Fox, how dare you even allow this question to be asked? But then again, would we expect anything less from a network that repeatedly seeks to sensationalize and point out injustices to the white and privileged?

Mittwit to Speak at Chapman University in Orange County. Send Me Questions to Ask Him!

pssst!
My brother told me that Mittwit will be having an “Ask Mittwit Anything” event at Chapman University in Orange County this Sunday and he will be attending. He asked me for suggestions of questions to ask, so I sent him Cliff’s post about 8 questions democrats should ask Mittwit. But I would love to hear any of your suggestions, so please send me your questions for Mittwit ASAP!
I know I have a question I’m dying to hear answered. This is what I’d ask:
Mittwit, in the aftermath of MoveOn’s factually correct “Petraeus or Betray Us?” ad, you went on MSNBC’s Morning Joe on 9/14/07 and said:
I frankly don't understand why Hillary Clinton hasn't repudiated MoveOn.org at this point. And that Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama and John Edwards are afraid to repudiate an ad and an organization which has taken a disgusting course against a great American.
-snip-
The MoveOn.org attack on General Petraeus is, frankly, entirely unacceptable…. for MoveOn.org to attack him as they did is simply unacceptable and reprehensible.
However, at the Conservative Political Action Conference on March 2, 2007, you introduced ANN FREAKIN’ COULTER by saying:
I am happy to hear that after you hear from me, you will hear from Ann Coulter. That is a good thing. Oh yeah!
After you introduced her, Coulter said this:
I was going to have a few comments about John Edwards but you have to go into rehab if you use the word faggot.
To great laughter and applause from the conference’s attendees. However, you did not repudiate Coulter or CPAC for that remark, nor have you distanced yourself from her comments that YOU, MITTWIT ROMNEY, ARE ANN COULTER'S FAVORITE CANDIDATE. You have also not repudiated some of her other remarks, such as:

FOX censored Sally Field's anti-war comments during her acceptance speech at the Emmys.
Some people want to claim it's because she said "god damn", but clearly FOX has no qualms airing "god damn" cause on a recent FOX News program they aired it 5 times in the span of a couple of minutes.
Oh, and the FCC ruled that "goddamn" is perfectly acceptable on broadcast television.
FOX just didn't want you to hear what Sally said, and the majority of Americans already know, that "if mothers ruled the world there'd be no goddamn wars in the first place."
A big thanks to ChrisBG at the Newshounds for remembering this "god damn" segment on FOX News and then actually finding it!

Seriously, since when has anyone given a damn about a newspaper ad? Or any advertisement at all? There wouldn't be this much attention for a Super Bowl commercial featuring Kevin Federline exposing Janet Jackson's boob at a dogfight.
The hysterical republican and media reaction to MoveOn's "Petraeus or Betray Us" ad truly illustrates how idiotic republicans want the discussion on Iraq to be. The fact that republicans had more to say about a newspaper ad — and that's all it was — than the content of the supposedly pivotal Petraeus testimony that was supposed to validate their failing, counter-productive surge/escalation "strategy" also illustrates how republicans have little interest in getting America out of the clusterfuck royale we call the Iraq war. It also cements the fact that republican hypocrisy is limitless, their priorities are whacked, and their only solution to the Iraq war is to stall and misdirect. They'd rather talk about a newspaper ad.
I have no problem with MoveOn's ad, though I think they could find much better ways to spend their money. And I think they did a good thing in trying to tell Americans not to trust Petraeus because it was already known that his testimony would be based on falsified numbers to create the illusion that the escalation is working. In fact, a poll conducted before the testimony showed that most of America shared this sentiment, with 53% believing that Petraeus would "exaggerate" (meaning LIE) about the effectiveness of the escalation. MoveOn wasn't representing the fringe — it was representing the majority, just like they represent the majority of Americans when they call for an end to this war. The only thing MoveOn should apologize for is not realizing the depth of republican desperation to shift attention away from their continuing support for the Iraq debacle and America's Worst President Ever.

To laugh at the ridiculousness, to scream at the outrageous or to... Well fox went to new lows in their analysis of Petraeus' testimony last week. When our friends at Media Matters let us know that they had 7 to 1 analysts in favor of escalation, it was hard to believe, even for FOX! 22 minutes supporting the escalation and only 3 and half against it. They went to such great lengths, they even cut away to Ann Coulter when Democrats questioned Petraeus!
Bill had an idea to show all this in 90 seconds, so he and Jonathan jumped right into it. Then we argued amongst ourselves for two days about what we should do about it? What could we ask, encourage, motivate folks to do. Yelling at the TV screen not being a desired option.
So we throw the question to you, our activists and media observers. What should be done about FOX? And given this ridiculous imbalance, should we encourage liberals and Democrats to stop going on FOX until the rules are fair, the deck is not stacked?
Give us your thoughts…

FOX to Air One-Hour Special Mythologizing Petraeus as Infallible Warrior God, Symbol of All Soldiers

Anyone starting to see what’s happening here?
When it was revealed that Petraeus would give an exclusive hour-long interview on FOX after his first day of testimony, we knew that his report would be more fixed than one of Bob Barker’s cats and was designed solely to fulfill Bush’s grand Iraq strategy: stall so Bush can run out the clock and have another president clean up his mess.
The fake controversy over MoveOn’s ad showed how desperately republicans want to avoid any meaningful debate about Iraq, what our goals are, and how to get out. They’d rather scold four million MoveOn members over an ad than give our troops the down time they need and get the US out of a war that the majority of Americans no longer support.
And now this: FOX will be airing a one-hour special on Petraeus this weekend. Following Bush’s lead, the entire republican party has decided that the only way they can avoid their responsibility for the Iraq war is to hide behind Petraeus’ sloping shoulders. In a press conference the other day, Bush claimed that attacking Petraeus was somehow the same as attacking the integrity of American soldiers, despite the fact that the MoveOn ad only addressed Petraeus, and he was the lone soldier to present cooked numbers to Congress that day.
So this is the republican line: questioning Petraeus, his integrity, and his strategy is un-American and insults soldiers serving and dying in Iraq. Petraeus, not Bush or the republicans, knows how to win the Iraq war, and is ready to lead the way to victory. Questioning him keeps us from winning. Keeping soldiers there indefinitely is Petraeus' plan, not Bush's or the republicans'.

Fox News Pulls the Race card!

pssst!
GAHHHHH! Only in America can you take a case that clearly violates civil rights, is clearly racially biased, is clearly and utterly about race and claim that it is REVERSE RACISM! Only Fox News can get away with such a ridiculous remark.
Let me just address the self loathing Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, because his complete and utter attempts to drum disregard racism entirely are laughable.
#1. The Activists protesting in Jena, LA are themselves racists – This he knows because why? They are calling for more reasonable charges for 6 young men, some of whom were not even involved in an altercation with another student? Since when is fighting for civil liberties racist? Is Martin Luther King a racist?
#2 – DA Reed Walters may have been talking to all off the students when he said he could end their lives with the stroke of a pen: Yes Rev. Lee, he may have been, and the world also maybe flat. The DA showed up at the school AFTER the black students held a protest, an peaceful protest under the “white” tree. There’s nothing more terrifying to a town of 3000 – predominately white citizens when the young intelligent black people stand up for themselves, better nip that in the bud.
#3 – Six black students were attacking one black student that had nothing to do with the nooses – It has been repeatedly stated that these six men were rounded up and accused because of their proximity to the fight. I surely hope that Rev. Lee doesn’t happen to be around the next time the police are racial profiling for a homicide. Who knows, you might get tossed in the paddy wagon with the rest of the degenerates.
Fox, how dare you even allow this question to be asked? But then again, would we expect anything less from a network that repeatedly seeks to sensationalize and point out injustices to the white and privileged?

Mittwit to Speak at Chapman University in Orange County. Send Me Questions to Ask Him!

pssst!
My brother told me that Mittwit will be having an “Ask Mittwit Anything” event at Chapman University in Orange County this Sunday and he will be attending. He asked me for suggestions of questions to ask, so I sent him Cliff’s post about 8 questions democrats should ask Mittwit. But I would love to hear any of your suggestions, so please send me your questions for Mittwit ASAP!
I know I have a question I’m dying to hear answered. This is what I’d ask:
Mittwit, in the aftermath of MoveOn’s factually correct “Petraeus or Betray Us?” ad, you went on MSNBC’s Morning Joe on 9/14/07 and said:
I frankly don't understand why Hillary Clinton hasn't repudiated MoveOn.org at this point. And that Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama and John Edwards are afraid to repudiate an ad and an organization which has taken a disgusting course against a great American.
-snip-
The MoveOn.org attack on General Petraeus is, frankly, entirely unacceptable…. for MoveOn.org to attack him as they did is simply unacceptable and reprehensible.
However, at the Conservative Political Action Conference on March 2, 2007, you introduced ANN FREAKIN’ COULTER by saying:
I am happy to hear that after you hear from me, you will hear from Ann Coulter. That is a good thing. Oh yeah!
After you introduced her, Coulter said this:
I was going to have a few comments about John Edwards but you have to go into rehab if you use the word faggot.
To great laughter and applause from the conference’s attendees. However, you did not repudiate Coulter or CPAC for that remark, nor have you distanced yourself from her comments that YOU, MITTWIT ROMNEY, ARE ANN COULTER'S FAVORITE CANDIDATE. You have also not repudiated some of her other remarks, such as:

FOX censored Sally Field's anti-war comments during her acceptance speech at the Emmys.
Some people want to claim it's because she said "god damn", but clearly FOX has no qualms airing "god damn" cause on a recent FOX News program they aired it 5 times in the span of a couple of minutes.
Oh, and the FCC ruled that "goddamn" is perfectly acceptable on broadcast television.
FOX just didn't want you to hear what Sally said, and the majority of Americans already know, that "if mothers ruled the world there'd be no goddamn wars in the first place."
A big thanks to ChrisBG at the Newshounds for remembering this "god damn" segment on FOX News and then actually finding it!

Seriously, since when has anyone given a damn about a newspaper ad? Or any advertisement at all? There wouldn't be this much attention for a Super Bowl commercial featuring Kevin Federline exposing Janet Jackson's boob at a dogfight.
The hysterical republican and media reaction to MoveOn's "Petraeus or Betray Us" ad truly illustrates how idiotic republicans want the discussion on Iraq to be. The fact that republicans had more to say about a newspaper ad — and that's all it was — than the content of the supposedly pivotal Petraeus testimony that was supposed to validate their failing, counter-productive surge/escalation "strategy" also illustrates how republicans have little interest in getting America out of the clusterfuck royale we call the Iraq war. It also cements the fact that republican hypocrisy is limitless, their priorities are whacked, and their only solution to the Iraq war is to stall and misdirect. They'd rather talk about a newspaper ad.
I have no problem with MoveOn's ad, though I think they could find much better ways to spend their money. And I think they did a good thing in trying to tell Americans not to trust Petraeus because it was already known that his testimony would be based on falsified numbers to create the illusion that the escalation is working. In fact, a poll conducted before the testimony showed that most of America shared this sentiment, with 53% believing that Petraeus would "exaggerate" (meaning LIE) about the effectiveness of the escalation. MoveOn wasn't representing the fringe — it was representing the majority, just like they represent the majority of Americans when they call for an end to this war. The only thing MoveOn should apologize for is not realizing the depth of republican desperation to shift attention away from their continuing support for the Iraq debacle and America's Worst President Ever.

To laugh at the ridiculousness, to scream at the outrageous or to... Well fox went to new lows in their analysis of Petraeus' testimony last week. When our friends at Media Matters let us know that they had 7 to 1 analysts in favor of escalation, it was hard to believe, even for FOX! 22 minutes supporting the escalation and only 3 and half against it. They went to such great lengths, they even cut away to Ann Coulter when Democrats questioned Petraeus!
Bill had an idea to show all this in 90 seconds, so he and Jonathan jumped right into it. Then we argued amongst ourselves for two days about what we should do about it? What could we ask, encourage, motivate folks to do. Yelling at the TV screen not being a desired option.
So we throw the question to you, our activists and media observers. What should be done about FOX? And given this ridiculous imbalance, should we encourage liberals and Democrats to stop going on FOX until the rules are fair, the deck is not stacked?
Give us your thoughts…

in The Transgender Double Standard on ETC: Everyday Thoughts Collected
Well, I for one would welcome you as part of a GLBT"X", as long as the X isn't telling the other letters that they need to move their position in the alphabet (and conversely, the GLBTs shouldn't be telling the X that they should move).
Ultimately, the alphabet soup really should represent all of humanity, and so an X (or H, for "hetero"?) would work quite nicely.

in On The Radio - KSFO San Francisco on ETC: Everyday Thoughts Collected
Yep, meant the thank you. I'm trained in analytic philosophy, so I tend to look for premises and conclusions. Sorry if you felt it was out of context--I'll re-read and continue to muse. I'm still working through my own position on hate crime laws.
Didn't realize about the moderation because I thought my first comment just went through.
Have a good night and thanks again for the clarification on your thoughts.

Can you explain how you wouldn't be protected under hate crime legislation? My understanding is that heterosexuals who are attacked for being straight (and such crimes have happened, occasionally, if you look at the stats) are just as protected as gays. Thus, whether you identify as heterosexual, ex-gay, gay, bisexual, etc., if that particular feature is the reason for your attack, it falls under the purview of hate crimes.
Maybe you can explain how you think that's incorrect--I've browsed your blog and haven't seen it outlined. (Though if I've missed it, point me to the link...)
Thanks!

AAH yes. I definately can relate/commiserate with you there. what's even worse is when you get somewhre, end up a hotel hostage, and then have to stay longer than expected because of airport closings!
