Debra Bowen is my favorite politician alive today. She hit my radar screen in the dark days of 2006 when she ran for CA Secretary of State. When she took office she kept her promise and got rid of the Diebold and Sequoia Voting Machines that helped inject Bush into the presidency. She has long been an advocate for using the internet for opening up government to the people worldwide.

She is running to replace GE Jane Harman in the CA 36 congressional district. Today she sent out a request for donations, and I sent her another $25 along with a 10% tip to Act Blue. Below the fold is her email message.

The hour long retrospective has made me laugh, cry and eventually leave me verklempt. It was a groundbreaking, seminal show and it helped me grow and learn about my gay friends and neighbors. It was funny, serious and tragic.

This show was never really discussed much on teh Kos, and I think that was an oversight that needs to be addressed. This is the first small screen show about lesbians ever, and it pursued many issues being lived by the gay community while they were happening.

Without further adieu, the floor is open. Get yer blog on.

A powerful storm hit Southern California the week before Christmas, leaving casa trashablanca isolated from the outside world for three days. Thankfully, we were well provisioned and my dogs were here to keep me looking on the brighter side of life. Oh, Lordy, they made me laugh with joy at their antics. Here at the casa reside my dogs, Sara, JJ and Doobie, as well as my sister's dogs, Patches and Megan. They make quite the pack and they get along together exceptionally well.

As I'm typing this on Christmas day, the snow is nearly all gone and it's raining. The prevailing wind is northward and there's a big beautiful rainbow to the north of the house.

I'm on the leeward side of the San Bernardino mountains below Big Bear and above Apple Valley at about 3800 feet. Hop the jump for pictures of our snowy adventures.

Big props to real life good guy Eddie C for seeking and finding my html gremlins! Thanks, Eddie C!

I had two experiences today that upset and worried me about the November election. I had a brief conversation with my neighbor in the business park where I work about Exxon's amoral profit-mongering, at $1,500 per freaking second!

The first thing out of my neighbor the plumber's mouth was, "I hope the Democrats get off their asses and start letting the oil companies drill new wells."

I provided the typical Kossack reality check for him and shortly after left work for my 67 mile commute home. I saw a Prius with an unbelievable bumper sticker. Jump below to behold.

I have three dogs whom I love and I take their health and well-being seriously. I take them hiking regularly, particularly to creeks and lakes whenever feasible. This winter in SoCal was the driest I can remember in my 48 years. I've been taking them to Deep Creek canyon outside of Hesperia because at 15 miles, it's the closest "legal" water I can access. I decided a month ago to take them one last time to Deep Creek, being certain that the water level had dropped to mere inches. To my suprise, once I hiked past the spillway a couple hundred feet, I came upon a beaver dam that was up to five feet deep and more than one hundred yards long that boasted an aquatic ecology practically unheard of in SoCal. Follow me over the dam, the water's fine.

Sam Seder announced on his show today that his show is canceled effective this Friday. He said that AAR is "giving" him a three hour show on Sundays. I find this outrageous. Sam is in the top three hosts on AAR, imo, right up there with Thom Hartmann and Randi Rhodes [I also love Rachel Maddow and like David Bender alot].

Please write AAR at comments@airamericaradio.com and express your feelings on this abrupt and drastic move.

I'm posting this from work and am not really a diarist, so bear with me. Sam Seder's announcement is below the fold along with my letter to AAR.
