Dr. Frist will be at the MUSC commencement Friday 9 am, stay tuned for plans; if any.His filibuster nuking is coming to a head this week; unless he wimps out again...The seven wavering Republican Senators are Collins, DeWine, Hagel, Murkowski, Roberts, Specter, and Warner. We've got all D's and the I, McCain and Snow... = 47. we need 51 or the Senate president, Mr. Cheney, will break the tie.

I ran into a great post over at dKos re: the SC Gov election, it refered me to this article from the State and covered first by Bob Brigham at the Swing State Project.State Sen. Tommy Moore is the “right kind” of Democrat to beat Republican Gov. Mark Sanford next year if he gets the money, experts say.Moore certainly has the credentials — 26 years of state legislative experience, an understanding

[from LTE Post and Courier 05/06/05]Both Bob Dole and The Post and Courier know better.The filibuster or "extended debate" has always been constitutional in the U.S. Senate. Of the 30 filibusters led against nominees -- 20 were led by Republicans (source, Congressional Research Service Report RS70801). Bob Dole was in Congress when Strom Thurmond filibustered Abe Fortas' nomination. Don't tell me

The wording is everything. Something I learned form 1984. Well the Dems got the Repubs this time; if they go against it then they are against the truth and for citizen funded propaganda. So assuming it passes then we have a great result and if it is denied then the Repubs look like they are for propaganda.

Well Altman will likely survive till the next election cycle but pressures on a local and domestic level have forced a revised criminal domestic violence bill to be fast tracked through the SC house. There has been no public apology for Altman’s inappropriate words, but his initial arrogance can be credited for the about face on the bill.We have fixed this now lets get rid of him in November ‘06

This essay was written by Stirling Newberry and appeared in the Daily Kos web log on March 18th. The message is powerful and in my opinion right on. I however don’t believe that credit will be due to the present Democratic Party, the Democratic Party is a political tent concerned only with 50% + 1, a majority. The means for this revolution is the citizens of the state. It happens to be

A Week for Peace in an Age of War “We will not build a peaceful world by following a negative path. It is not enough to say we must not wage war. It is necessary to love peace and sacrifice for it. We must concentrate not merely on the negative expulsion of war but the positive affirmation of peace. We must see that peace represents a sweeter music, a cosmic melody that is far superior to the
