1. Someone needs to ask him about the 92,000 more troops...

he said on Countdown that they might send, plus more money. That after saying we should pray for them.

This really upset me.

3. This was your perfect opportunity to do so.

I thought I'd give everyone a heads up on this, in case they did have questions for him.

I don't know him well, but took the opportunity nevertheless to ask him things I wanted answered.

I read your journal and I think if I were able to view Olberman, I'd have been just as outraged. I agree with your take on what he said.

edit to add a post he made re: Rahm (I thought one of the posts in your thread was interesting re: being Rahm's messenger)

Howie - Its funny you mention about what I’m doing to start bringing our troops home. Just today I had a person write in my local paper critizing me for my actions (at least he admitted he voted Republican). Shows you how important it is to write letters to the editor and participate in the netroot community.

I thought the resolution, albeit nonbinding, was a very, very important first step. As you know, I offered a binding piece of legislation with Senator Obama and Congressman Mike Thompson, HR 787, to bring our troops home by March 2008. We’re getting more and more cosponsors everyday…we just picked up Rahm Emanuel yesterday.

4. I went to check it out, but it was loading so slowly.

I will check later. Thanks for the heads up. FDL has been slow for me the last few days, the Libby trial I guess.

My pleasure.
