This will be brief but I'm alerting all Californians (it is about 1:15 PM here so polls are open until 8:00 PM) in the in Contra Costa and Alameda counties to get out and vote TODAY for http://www.tonythurmond.com/- 14th District.

Tuesday Evening, Hi, this is my first diary, and I welcome all constructive critiques :)

The sorry state of our misadventure into Iraq promotes intense focus all ears bearing down on the Petraeus Crocker Senate Hearings as if we would hear new pronouncements from on high.

Rest easy we are getting into "post kinetic action".  WTF?  "Some Call It War, Others Call It ‘Kinetic Action’." See Daniel Larison at http://larison.org/... .  

"I have heard some ridiculous euphemisms in my day, but calling wartime violence "kinetic action" (which simply means ‘moving action’) is about as creepy a dilution of language as any I have encountered.  Perhaps we can call torture "kinetic pressure" and refer to the bombardment of civilians as "kinetic dropping."
