Honor the Fallen Bike Ride

It was an emotional night. Before we biked, I read the names of Diane and five other bicyclists killed while pedaling since July 29. Ed Collins then talked about the loss of his dad, LeRoy, and his frustration that the driver who killed his dad was never cited. Then we started pedaling and it was amazing to see the long line of bicyclists biking down Central Avenue.

Rahm Emanuel, Fuck You!

Howard Dean Calls Rahm's 'Contempt' For Base 'Devastating And Incredibly Demoralizing'
"I'm not looking to pick another fight with Rahm Emanuel, but the contempt with which he held the progressive wing of the party was devastating and incredibly demoralizing, That's basically saying to your own people -- you got us here, now FU."......Howard Dean

The Stogie will no longer be voting for the lesser of the two evils. From this day forward he will be voting his conscience, even if that means a much despise republican candidate gets elected. The two party system has to end. See you in November. And in 2012, he will support the real liberal.
So Fuck You Rahm Emanuel and the rest of your cohorts.
