Hey there everybody, revved up and ready to go do some more final GOTV.

I've got some tunes for you to GOTV by. Some old favorite election seasoning songs, some current listening faves, some classics from different eras of GOTV.

Sharon Angle and other Tea Party and GOP extremists have made outrageous claims about Sharia Law and Islamofascism taking hold in the U.S.

Where do these wild claims come from? Is it just odd ball imagination with strange flights of fanciful stupidity? Or is there something to these claims, what are the facts?

How was Dearborn Michigan turned into a city hostage to Sharia Law where good Christian Americans get singled out for arrest just for not being Muslim?

How could this happen, under our very eyes, without our knowing it, and god bless Sharon Angle for helping us find out about it and wake up and smell the Turkish Coffee of alertness to domestic Islamofascist terroism!

Or are these outrageous claims about Sharia Law and Islamofascism in fact constructed verbatim out of winger mythology --from winger websites, talk radio, Fox News, RW Christianist activists and wingnut welfare propaganda outlets?

Read on to find out how Dearborn Michigan was turned into a city hostage to Sharia Law where good Christian Americans get singled out for arrest just for not being Muslim.

Surprise, Surprise:

The second largest shareholder in News Corp. -- the parent company of Fox News -- has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to causes linked to the imam planning to build a Muslim community center and "mosque" near Ground Zero in Manhattan, says a report from Yahoo!News.

One can only wonder, is Fox trying to make the news instead of report it? We all know Fox likes to create faux scandals, but this is quite something on a grander scale. Or is it merely coincidence, and reality has just bitten Fox in a gigantic irony? Who knows??? But Fox has just been EXPOSED.

Read on to find out more about Fox and the NY "mosque" funding.

On MSNBC's The Daily Rundown today, Howard Dean has come out and predicted either the courts or Democrats will get rid of the mandate by 2014, and that they should. He says it is doomed to be politically unpopular and is both unnecessary for HCR to succeed as well as a policy that just benefits insurance companies.

He points to success in his governorship in Vermont in covering all children without a mandate and instead using tough regulations to reign in the market abuses of insurance companies, as an example of health care reform success without a mandate.

Harry Reid, who will speak and take questions at Netroots Nation, sort of took my questions today. I got his super secret cell phone number from someone I know who knows someone who knows someone, you know what I'm talkin' about. It cost me a few exotic hand made chocolate bars from a very special place in South America.

I was lounging in my lawn chair, fixing my fedora for the correct angle to block the hot summer sun. My shnauzer-greyhound mix dog was licking what was left of the ice cream cone he ate half of in my other hand. On my lap was my trusty investigative phone call tobacco pipe, lit up with its savory scent, that I save for such phone calls.

Let's just say Harry is a busy guy but I was lucky to catch him while he was relaxing barbecueing chickens somewhere at some supporter's party in Nevada.

Badabing wrote a fine, honest, scorching and to the point diary about how, as she says,

"there is no such thing as a 'Tipping Point' in our nation, because regardless of how monumental the event or catastrophe, Americans (unlike our own ancestors) are not willing to March by the Millions into Washington DC, and make that 'Tipping Point' happen, by suiting up, and showing up."

Why is that so?

I don't care if the HCR that finally passes and is signed into law is garbage or heaven filled with flowers, sexy people, and lots of healing chocolate, but I just can't take any more of this repetitive drama. I mean, this makes Francisco Franco's interminably long coma seem like a short nap. Struggling garage band musicians with 2 used synthesizers, take note, Franco's Coma would make a good name for a pretentious but clever synth pop post punk band.

So I'm asking, pleading, begging, for no more HCR diaries until HCR passes and is signed into law.

Diane Feinstein once again is flirting with running for governor, likely encouraged by Newsom dropping out so that the only opponent in the primary is state attorney general Jerry Brown.

She hasn't made up her mind but announced today she's considering running and will

"base a decision on whether to run for California governor next year largely on the solutions the announced candidates put forward to deal with the state's fiscal problems."

Of course, her real reasons for running for governor are completely self serving and have nothing to do with fiscal problems or the needs of the state and its citizens:

Organize Methods To Counter Anti Health Care Teabaggers

I'm posting this diary to help start an organizing process to counter the anti health care tea baggers at town halls.

First, I'm highlighting the infamous tea bagger strategy memo by from Bob MacGuffie, a volunteer with the FreedomWorks website Tea Party Patriots, exposed and publicized here by TPM, because the memo shows more about the tea bagger's organizing strategies and objectives that we need to examine in order to counter organize.

Second, I urge folks to keep up on the town hall events and other tea bagger anti health care activities by diarying about when they will occur. I am providing a link below to their site where we can see where they'll be striking next. It's state by state, so I suggest people start diarying about town hall events in each state. Another option is to look at all events held each week in each state, but that would take some amount of work to put together that kind of diary if some folks can do it.

In an article in today's Washington Post, Scott Wilson writes that President Obama will start campaigning for a number of very significant health insurance reform measures not previously addressed, including:

No exorbitant out-of-pocket expenses, deductibles or co-pays: Insurance companies will have to abide by yearly caps on how much they can charge for out-of-pocket expenses.

In addition, Obama will press for health care reform to include other major substantive reforms that will end private insurance abuses.

We need more diaries here, reactionary reactive diaries, declaring no more money for groups that are fighting for us, because we're so damned angry and outraged at the conservadems, the Blue Dogs, Harry Reid, the obstructionists on health care and just about everything else we really care about. Yes, please declare not one more penny for the very organizations fighting for us on health care, that means the DNC, MoveOn.org, Firedoglake, DFA, HCAN. That'll show 'em, and us.

I expect y'all to start writing your diaries now. Now I'm just as angry as any of you, at least nearly so and certainly in some cases moreso. And I've got plenty of reason to be outraged. That's why we should write diaries to stop payment on our checks to organizations that actually are fighting for us.

Dick Cheney, Lamar Alexander and the Republicans layed out their cards May 7th for all to see. Their cards are, I believe, the answer to some of the questions we've wondered about for nine years as to why Congress and the Obama administration have been so reluctant to fully investigate and punish Cheney, Bush and their war crimes cabal.

Nancy Pelosi, Eric Holder, Harry Reid, Barack Obama and the Democrats fear what Dick Cheney and his Republican agents will do, or if they don't fear it, they simply don't want the nuclear meltdown of DC that Lamar Alexander promises if he is investigated and brought to justice.

Follow below the fold for the smoking gun that seems to be the Cheney retaliation plan laid bare, answering our questions of the past nine years.
