Feeling lonely and left out of the conversation? Tired of the backbiting and gotcha games? Sick of the popularity contest, and looking to actually talk about progressive values and solutions? That's how this place was pitched to me. I wish them luck. I'm proud to see what the former "Dean movement" has become (activists, even!) and I hope something similar comes out of the lost tribe of progressive Edwards supporters. Read below the fold...

Lessig wants your attention and money for CA-12. I admit I don't know much about this guy, but everyone around the progblog universe is chatting him up, so there it is. More and better, and all that. Read below the fold...
... from grateful readers and fans that she--making an assumption, here--can simply wear one and then throw it away. So, she wouldn't even need to knowhow to wash a bra.
I read (forgive me if it was here, I can't remember) recently some cute anecdote about Gavel and a regular person who met him early on the campaign trail. He made the mistake of saying that he'd work for Gavel, when what he really meant was to be polite and show some support to a guy he knew was never going to get anywhere in the Presidential race ("be allowed" to get anywhere...) So he was chagrined when Gavel said, "Great! You like me? How about running my campaign in your state?" Read below the fold...
Of course, I'm not going to have any and that's a good thing, but one passage in this report struck me a slightly behind the scientific times: Read below the fold...
(Updateor you could answer the charges in this post if being positive is boring to you.) So tomorrow is the Big Day, and the SCLM will tell me who gets to run for president. Yawn.

All my energy to go out and have fun got sucked out of me today by the need to Be Dutiful, and so I'm not going dancing tonight. But I'm not a complete looser: I'm going to make candles later instead. Peaceful, craft-driven, functional...I love candle making. I recycle my used wax as well as that of my friends; for some time now, despite burning one or two almost constantly, I buy very little in terms of 'new candle' material as a result. I'm also into the whole "essential oil" silliness. Lemongrass is my new fav. Read below the fold...
So I'm going to do the unexpected, and laud another candidate other than my own. Chatting it up last night with the CrackDenizens, I said this: Read below the fold...
