terrific stuff Jane

one point I am hoping you get a chance to make;

the fact that the lake and other news/political blogs would not be nearly as successful if print media was not corporate owned by a handful of the same people, deciding what’s news and what gets no or little coverage

point out the fact that they are getting competition from non corporate non “same ownership” sources and if not for the internent then it would be some other venue

AND THE KILLIN’ GOEZ ON AND ON AND…

Citizen hamsher and the Firepup freedom fighters:

Is this gunna be broadcast or taped and broadcast anywhere? Has Maddow been alerted to this little dinner party…might be nice ta get a mention on her show tanight.

Give ‘em heaven! Jane.

Looking forward to hearing all about it.

I hope you’ll do a post on your experience.

Or that it will be recorded as Norske suggests.

ditto the above comments. i’d love to have it live-streamed on the toobz! have fun with it tonight.

Please tell Chris Hayes he has two very big gay SF fans.

Rats, makes me wish I hadn’t spent all that energy digging out, plus a huge amount of time on the phone with United so i could escape DC last week. I wish I could attend.

And yeah, a big “hi” to Chris Hayes. I love him [although his "pay off the guys who are terrorizing your neighborhood, rather than getting some cops [Dems] to chase off the Bad Guys” was a big short-sighted.]

Jane, with every opportunity, you are making the case for the relevance of the DFH, and our not-so-corporate, modern era Tom Paine direct action. Good on ya gal, good on ya!

hey Jane,
this flame-puppy-puddle is wid ya

Good luck Jane, we’ll all be listening in.

Dear Jane Hamshire and “fire-puppies”,

Submitted for your perusal:

Dear Senator Cantwell,

In light of the grim announcement by President obama today and in Washington State no less, that the current Administration will go down the nuclear electricity generating path, I don’t see how things could get any worse. If we allow ourselves to pretend that nuclear waste is not a problem, just the sheer amount of water that nuclear power plants demand should be grounds for dismissing the un-forgivably STUPID, and obsolete “idea”, at a time when water shortages are only going to get worse with human population increase, and droughts brought on by global deforestation, and climate change due to carbon, petroleum etc.

The “Whipmag Device” and related internet pros and cons remind me of some comments made by self-proclaimed scientific and mathematical experts as to why Fulton would never be able to power a Ship with steam, I wonder how many of the “experts” had personal monetary interests in the sail-making or mast manufacturing, like the current day phenomenon of individuals in the pockets of petroleum claiming that global climate change due to human use of carbon and fossil fuels is merely an Al Gore illusion!

As a Floridian, I am allowed to point out the the State of Florida is hopelessly Corrupt, and for more reasons than just the 2000 vote count fiasco. Florida has a so-called “right to work law” that basically allows any white collar criminal whom has been kicked out of every other State to set up shop in Florida, and I was threatened years ago to “keep my mouth shut” about any ideas on how to generate electricity, that might make the “lunatics” nervous, and the events of 9/11 caused me to remember a few things and I will not remain silent anymore.

From my observations, there is no better Senator on this issue than the Junior Senator from Washington State, therefore; in the event that you did not receive my letter that I wrote to you in your D.C. Office around January 8, 2009, or for what ever reason have not communicated back to me of any interest in my letter, please allow me to attempt a new explanation of my idea:

In the first place we already know that the “mag-lev” monorail system really works, and can propel an electric train at speeds of over 200 miles per hour, second there are plans in the works to use said principle to launch jets off of aircraft carriers, and launch future space shuttles into Earth orbit, as described on several cable TV documentaries in recent years. Rather that get bogged down with arguments from “experts” on how impossible any ideas “outside the box” of the current “box” are, lets focus on the REALITY of the current day monorail, see the possibility of running a “monorail” in a circular track, and focus on a scale that is larger that the sort that could be built in a “garage”. The scale of some of the larger wind generators is in the right “ball-park”, scale wise albeit vertical rather than horizontal. If all of this is too confusing, please try to see humanity right now as being more blessed with the awareness that monorails really work, than our ancestors were when they noticed that steam could “push” something, and one thing is for sure: using nuclear reactors to make steam is one of the most reckless, un-necessarily complicated, dangerously stupid ideas ever con-cocted, and the opposite of what “CLEAN” means.

Dear Senator Cantwell please forgive the excessive use of words, but since this message will go to several individuals in several different locations, and since it seems proper to send the same words to all locations, I did my best to say as few words as possible. My worse regret is that we have failed to get together on this matter, my second regret is seeing how corrupt our current Government seem to be, while we have so few brilliant, ethical and wonderful Human Beings as the Honorable Maria Cantwell in the U.S. Senate, and Government in general.

Yours Truly,

A.J. Max Cherbonneaux
