we're having a party

Just sayin.

Stealing Obama's logo? Oh wait...

... because I think I've got some snark that's too good to let go, but if you object, please change it right back.

[ ] Very tepidly voting for Obama [ ] ?????. [ ] Any mullah-sucking billionaire-teabagging torture-loving pus-encrusted spawn of Cthulhu, bless his (R) heart.

Notice how text is oddly missing from this button, cleverly allowing room for later sponsorship.

mine is still on backorder.

in that headline, lambert. And thanks for posting this, scarshapedstar. I've seen it elsewhere, but it can't be posted enough. Mostly because it shows how shameless our political leaders have become in announcing that they're bought and paid for.

Remember when they used to at least have the decency to act ashamed about their corruption?

I like it. A little prestidigitation, and... presto! It's a kickass collaborative post!

But I still believe
And I will rise up with fists!!

Hahaha! How droll.
Hey, don't the SDs vote by secret ballot?

Come together at The Confluence

Maybe we can get one of those holographic buttons made that change from ATT to Obama logos when their tilted.
Excellent! They can add that to the swag bag. Pretty soon, all the delegates will be wearing them.
Come together at The Confluence

they will be given immunity.

I mean, this is what passes for design now?

Glad to see the Democratic Party standing up for the voters' interest. Yeah, this seriously gives those FISA votes a new spin--vote for FISA, protect us from prosecution, and we'll fund your convention! No deal? How about a BIGGER FIELD?

at the top!

It sure seems to more about AT&T than any Dem convention.

Wow, just wow.

...here. i put it up on alegre's blog, too. they really, really don't care how it looks anymore. say hello to our new corporate overlords... wait, it's the same old corporate overlords. they DID change overseers, though.

Once again, everything in life reverts back to a Simpson's episode.

I'm no longer surprised at the media's intrepid determination to trash Hillary to help Obama. Now, I'm no longer surprised that the media is bending over backwards to support Obama--its in their interest to help someone who works hand-in-hand with the media.

McCain may be bad, but . . .

the Rethug convention - suggestions?

One million versus the GOP's 5 million for private time with the presidential (to-be) nominee...in the GOP's case for dinner and a golf game (I think everyone goes to the same events.)

Great.

Funny, I see at least two other telecom companies and some big health insurance companies and some big banks...

but I would rather have the 4th Amendment back

Why would local big business give a million dollars to the convention? Do they really make that much more off the gig?

Notice the end:
"The Republican governor's (Tim Pawlenty) increasing role in raising money led his chief of staff to issue an e-mail alert to everyone in the office a few weeks ago.

"It is very important that we all communicate accurately that we are not raising funds for the Republican Party in any way, shape or form," Matt Kramer wrote in the May 30 e-mail.

He added, "As everyone knows, we cannot (and will not!) engage in political work at the office. The Host Committee is not a political group and it is entirely appropriate that the Governor assist in raising funds for a civic event that will bring great attention and economic gain to the Metropolitan area.""

Are the Democrats holding to the same standard? I'm unsure. Read this interview with Denver's Mayor Hickenlooper. He says they are not selling access in the interview, but one, he's spending a lot of time asking--which within certain limits, as Pawlenty above, is probably fine (I say, maybe neither one should do it?); but Hickenlooper does seem to be selling access here to private events, at least to himself and some US Reps...and also, the DNCC is helping the Denver Host Committee (which is a non-profit.) And the Obama campaign was talking about donating too...it does seem that Dem Party money is or will be directly involved. Doesn't that kind of mess up the separate convention funding? (don't know if that's important--unless an access/donation question?)

offers a lovely 4th Amendment alternative bag through Cafe Press - here.

I'm buying a tote anyway, but do you think it would hamper my clearance through airport security? Nevermind, while I know it could be a nifty way of avoiding my next unnecessary business trip, I'm guessing the lock up would be worse.

We can admit that we're killers ... but we're not going to kill today. That's all it takes! Knowing that we're not going to kill today! ~ Captain James T. Kirk, Stardate 3193.0

But would they try? How sad that I'm asking that question even as a joke.

Edited to add: I will be getting the 4th Amendment tote from Talk Left. Was not even thinking about trying to snag one of the corporate swag bags.

"The bag looks nice, but I would rather have the 4th Amendment back."

Ain't that the truth!

We went shopping for American democracy, and all we have to show for it is this lousy bag.

Yes, even the great Mammon is blushing over this deal.

Its not "retroactive immunity" anymore.

Its "designer immunity". Get with the program.
