OK try again: RUBBISH, the only problems that really matter in this world are problems of the heart (AND rainy Mondays, as EM noted the other day they can produce heart-ache even where there is no ex-lover), everything else is immaterial...err, well to an extent, because this year my country (DK) was found to be among the four least corrupt in the World, AND the Danes were found to be the HAPPIEST nation in the world (which makes you wonder what would happen if you put all 5 millions of us on an island where the sun shines, the happiness would be unbearable). And why? because of financial security. And so blablabla... Actually, nothing coherent from my part! I guess if you are in Jerusalem, things look very different, because there are problems of a sort that to me are virtually academic. Like war, and a kind of poverty that I wouldn't even experience here in the UK. OK back to work and to trying to look at the sunny side in Beneluxuria.... Bn (a.k.a.

I think we'll see Bush's "veto" (used only once so far in 6+ years) get dusted off and used a lot more. If the Democrats are able to move some things forward (shift the tax cuts away from upper-incomes and Corporate to middle class, address minimum wage, health care, develop a PLAN for Iraq, etc) then 2008 will be sweet. If they are ineffectual, then the Republicans will simply say "look at what these Democrats HAVEN'T done" and it will pave the way for more changes and perhaps a return to what we have had. So I hope they roll up their collective sleeves and get to work. And in case you don't already know, Rumsfeld has resigned. This day has just gotten a whole lot better.

Christy Hardin-Smith: Obviously it's disappointing, but at the same time I think that all the Democratic candidates that won tonight owe Ned Lamont a thank-you. He changed the conversation with his win in the primary to the failures and the lack of accountability in Iraq, he changed the conversation to the fact that there needed to be less rubber stamping in the US congress, and more oversight and more checks and balances and I think that that's something that Americans voted on this evening. ++++ i think all americans owe ned lamont a thank you. patti, i have so much admiration for your work on his campaign. this was such an important election and the first one in a while i've felt happy about. i gave some money, even though i'm unemployed, and worked a couple of move-on phone parties. i read another analysis that really thought those helped. certainly, however it happened, the democratic get out the vote movement was much stronger than in the past. howard dean is, i think, the biggest hero. his 50-state, every district strategy meant that as things started to go south for the repubs, the dems had great candidates in place to run serious campaigns. a large number of the dem pick-ups were candidates that were not supported by rahm emanuel and the centrist dccc, including some that had to fight the dc-insiders to be on the ballot. check out this excerpt from an article by Rick Perlstein in the New Republic: - ---------------- The Democrats have won back the House. Rahm Emanuel, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), nearly tripped over himself on the way to the microphone to claim the credit. In fact, while the tidal wave in the House looks like a bit of strategic genius by Emanuel--and pundits are starting to call it that way (Howard Fineman on MSNBC noted that the Democrats even picked up a seat in Kentucky, where the 3rd District candidate was John Yarmuth--"Emanuel's fourth choice!" Fineman exclaimed, as if in awe of the power possessed by Emanuel's mere table scraps)--in race after race, it actually represents the apotheosis of forces Emanuel has doubted all long: the netroots. In two competitive House races in the Bluegrass State, Emanuel's first choices lost by eleven and nine points. In the 2nd District it was Colonel Mike Weaver, the cofounder of Commonwealth Democrats, a group of conservative Democratic state legislators. In the 4th, it was Ken Lucas, a former congressman whom Robert Novak recently called "moderate conservative" in a column on Emanuel's "recruiting coup" in coaxing Lucas out of retirement. Both were the kind of candidates Emanuel has favored in his famous nationwide recruiting drive. Yarmuth, meanwhile, was founder of the state's first alternative newspaper, said things on the campaign trail things like "the No Child Left Behind Act ... is a plan deliberately constructed to create 'failing' schools," and called for "a universal health care system in which every citizen has health insurance independent of his or her employment." It was a pattern repeated across the country. New Hampshire's 1st District delivered Carol Shea-Porter, a former social worker who got kicked out of a 2005 Presidential appearance for wearing a T-shirt that said turn your back on bush. That might have been her fifteen minutes of fame--if, last night, she hadn't defeated two-term Republican incumbent Jeb Bradley. For the chance to face him, however, she had to win a primary against the DCCC's preferred candidate, Jim Craig--whom Rahm Emanuel liked so much he made the unusual move of contributing $5000 to his primary campaign. Shea-Porter dominated Craig by 20 points--and then was shut out by the DCCC for general election funds. Not all Emanuel's losing recruits were beaten in primaries. Some were beaten in the general election. Christine Jennings, a banker and former Republican gunning for Katherine Harris's former House seat lost in a squeaker to conservative Republican Vern Buchanan. Dan Seals, a black moderate in the Barack Obama mold who criticized the Democratic Party even in speeches to Democratic crowds, lost to the Republican incumbent in Emanuel's backyard, Illinois's 10th District--as did the DCCC's most talked-about recruit, Tammy Duckworth of Illinois's 6th. Emanuel poured as astonishing $3 million into her campaign. It bought her a three-point defeat. Activists say the money would have been better spent on all the promising candidates to whom Rahm wouldn't give the time of day. Many of them won anyway. John Hall is poised to become the Democrats' version of Sonny Bono--a former environmental and anti-nuclear activist and co-author of the hit 1970s hit "Still the One," he just won New York's 19th District House seat. Chris Carney, now heading to Washington to represent Pennsylvania's 10th, beat beleaguered incumbent (and alleged-strangler) Don Sherwood. "Until Carney was ahead by double digits," complained Howie Klein of DownWithTyranny, a blog that backed his candidacy, "Rahm wouldn't take his phone calls." Larry Kissell, a high school social studies teacher, is, as of this writing, in a statistical dead heat with an incumbent Republican from of all places, North Carolina. Says Klein: "If Rahm had a little bit of foresight to see this guy was for real, and to see that he was a candidate who could have won, a little bit of money would have made all the difference for him." Still, Kissell didn't go into battle unarmed. The thing all these successful candidates share in common is backing by the same dirty-necked bloggers and netroots activists that pundits have been calling the political kiss of death. Yarmuth, Shea-Porter, Hall, and Kissel--in addition to Democratic pickups Jerry McNerney in California, Joe Sestak and (perhaps) Lois Murphy in Pennsylvania, Bruce Braley in Iowa, Kirstin Gillibrand in New York, and Senators-elect Jon Tester of Montana, Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, and Sherrod Brown of Ohio--were all beneficiaries of a PAC called Blue America, a joint project of the blogs Firedoglake, DownWithTyranny, and Crooks & Liars. "Most of the candidates we support come directly from our readers," Klein says. Some of their chosen beneficiaries were hopeless and remained so. The bloggers say that's the risk you take when you're trying to build a party infrastructure for the long term. Others were hopeless, however, only until the netroots-types got their mitts on them. When Klein decided that all Larry Kissell needed was a boost, he remembered how radio guys used to use long gas lines as promotional opportunities. Together, they arrived at an idea: Kissell would subsidize the sale gas at a filling station in his North Carolina district at the price it sold for when the incumbent had entered office--$1.22 a gallon. A line of cars soon stretched down the thoroughfare. The unknown Democrat was suddenly all over TV, shaking hands and pitching a hard Democratic message. He started inching up in the polls. By the end of October, he was doing so well that Emanuel, finally smelling the pickup opportunity, added Kissell to DCCC's "Red to Blue" fund-raising program. Emanuel had been too preoccupied to notice Kissell, Howie Klein complains: He already had a darling North Carolina candidate: Heath Shuler (who also won his election last night). But Shuler "won't even commit to voting for Pelosi," Klein groused. He "probably tossed a coin to decide if he was going to run as a Republican in Tennessee or a Democratic in North Carolina." The bloggers, blunt as they may be, think they have a better plan for building a lasting Democratic majority. Last night's results suggest the rest of us should start taking it seriously. - ------------------- patrick np - philip glass and foday musa suso, music from 'the screens' ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 9 Nov 2006 13:22:11 +1100 From: "frank david caldwell" Subject: Joni Mitchell Wembly 83 Concert Hi All,I Have A Copy Of Joni Mitchell 83 Wembly Concert Up For Offer To The First Person To E-Mail Me Of List That Will Re Offer The DVD On The List.(This Is A PAL Format) Frank Caldwell In Sydney frankcal@bigpond.net.au ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 9 Nov 2006 16:45:35 +1100 From: "frank david caldwell" Subject: Joni At Wembly 83 Concert Hi All,I Have A Copy Of Joni At Wembly 83 Concert Up For Offer To The First Person To Contact Me Of List That Will Re Offer The DVD On The List.(This Is In PAL Format) Frank Caldwell In Sydney frankcal@bigpond.net.au ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2006 #421 ***************************** ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:joni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe -------
