I'm running a little behind with no posts yesterday and not much on Thursday. First is from Thursday. The lovely and ever poignant Ann Coulter had some pleasant comments aimed for the fine citizens of New York.

I grabbed this from Crooks and Liars

" and it's far preferable to fight them in the streets of Baghdad than in the streets of New York (where the residents would immediately surrender)"

"Colmes: You don't feel that New Yorkers are cowards?

(pause)

Coulter: ahhh...I think they would immediately surrender..."

Response

I wonder how many "regular" people she's met in New York. Trying going to a fire deparment in the Bronx. They'll tell you how many buddies they lost in the Trade Towers. I don't think I'd call them cowards. I also don't think they'd surrender. They may not be willing to fight like the once did in the "five Points" but I also think that New Yorkers, whether in the big city or in the upstate would fight just like so many others.

Realistically though, Ms. Coulter is just generating lip service. Obviously, the Sheehan train has the neocons worries because she's got a message and it's obviously resonating with a more than a few people who're tired of the war. The Republicans are losing control of the agenda. The war is going badly, the economy is teetering as oil prices continue to climb. The Democrats certainly have some opening with which to press their advantage, the question is do they have the leadeship to take advantage of it. I think it's fair to say that the party on a national and possibly on a state level might not be up to the task of pressing the advantage. The Democrats need to bring what weapons they have around and start firing and they need to take start developing new weapons. The only way to take this country back from the brink is start fighting and it has to happen at all levels.
