High Noon Open Thread

  • What comes before Part B? (depends on where you live) SF and SoCal answers.
  • California Congressman George Miller (D-Martinez) has really been reaching out online as of late (keep it up and ramp it up). While his Darfur youtube video is important, what I really like is his new Facebook group for, “questions and suggestions about what Democrats are and should be doing to stop the War in Iraq.” Miller is an super-great Congressman and is in the Speaker’s inner circle so go tell him your ideas and — who knows — it just might happen.
  • Speaking of Facebook, if you are a political junkie and haven’t yet signed up, you are selling yourself short. So go set up an account and then join the Calitics group
  • Is Lee Kaplan a douchebag? The line has a question mark because I don’t want to have to pay up $7,500 like some poor Berkeley undergrad who took on the wingnut writer. If (hypothetically) I were to write about such a guy I’d probably make some reference to wetting his pants because some might say when he writes it is with such a voice of fear of the terra that there would be more to laugh at seeing him in person than just reading his junk.
  • What Digby said on Hillary getting booed (but you can’t watch the video of her explaining things perfectly at TBA because so many people wanted to see that it crashed Google). Really. Probably because of a Calitics link.
  • Is Gavin Newsom glorious or is this just his GF talking (Swiss Miss vs. Beth Spotswood — always love it). According to some British online gambling site the answer to the odds is 42:1 that Spots would prevail.
  • San Francisco 4 Democracy Political Affairs Committee meeting has been rescheduled for the following Wednesday, June 27.

Anyone have anything we should know about?
