Does anyone else think this is a bad idea? ADT home security offers a key fob remote to unlock your house and disarm your security system. Don't get car-jacked, or lose your keys.

Now, on to the important stuff:

So, polls and voter registration records indicate that less than 25% of the electorate identifies as Republican. Democrats don't fair a whole lot better at just over 30%. That means that 75% of the electorate identifies as either Dem or independent. Let's break this down a little, unscientifically. If 25% are Republican, let's say that half are moderate and half are Tea Party and/or evangelical. The 12% of moderate Republicans, which includes the majority of the religious right, my question is: How do you win elections with only 12%? Anyone?

Arm the Libyan rebels? That's a question being floated around the Sphere of Pundrity and my answer to that is No. My reasons are as follows:

Arming them drags out the conflict and requires more involvement on the ground.

They have to be trained not only in the use of the weapons but also in military warfare. Giving a guy a gun does not make him a soldier.

I think this is a Black Ops situation. It's over in a hurry if he's deposed/taken into custody.

Back home in Wisconsin: Scott Walker has broken the law again by having the rights stripping bill published by a department other than the Secretary of State as required by law in direct violation of the court order preventing the SofS from doing so. He's already started cutting wages, jobs, and benefits. This man is a Dictator Governor. He should be in jail.

Ohio passed its union-busting bills, but the voters will overturn it in the referendum process. Go ahead, they said, we'll just throw it our ourselves. Good for them!

And remember this: IF there is a government shut down, the Tea Party is responsible for it.

Take care, Hamsters...and join Progressives United!
