This list is off the top of my head, as I have been trying to minimize contact with DU. I've been doing that because I am a sensitive, reasonably well-informed Democrat, and I hate bloodshed. But several recurring themes have implanted themselves on my brain whether I wanted them or not.

Persons thrown under the (rhetorical) bus:

John Lewis
Howard Dean
David Brock
Rachel Maddow
Gloria Steinem
Susan Sarandon
Debbie Wasserman-Schultz
Chelsea Clinton
Bill Clinton
and, lastly but not leastly: Hillary Clinton!

I'm pretty sure I've left a few names out, so please feel free to complete that list.

(And I can't believe Don Siegelman is still in jail...I trust Obama enough to believe he'd correct an injustice but Don Siegelman I just don't understand why he isn't free yet)

And I did a quick review of the road kill so far, and I come up with several Ph.D.s, one M.D., one Nobelist plus Ph.D.. And, I think, the Democratic Party has been driven over too. I have never been able to figure out the difference between the "Clinton machine" and the Democratic Party.

Distinguished Professor of Economics at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York - it's a vanity title.

And Nobel Prizes? They're like Golden Globes...you can buy one if you know the right people...

I'll take a peek Tuesday night or Wednesday morning for the Karl "Rove moment". Otherwise, I also recommend staying away.

Particularly with the nonsense that makes it to the front page. But it's a useless battle. I found I was getting horrible neck spasms every time I read Gee Dee Pee.

Each time I log in I tell myself to just stay in the Hillary Group....and then curiosity gets the best of me and the next thing I know I'm in LBN, arguing back and forth with some other "Democrat" over gun rights, and I'm defending the need for more regulation....DEFENDING! And I'm getting ganged up on and losing...the gun battle...On DU!

"Bernie Sanders resonates with this generation of American Jews because he speaks with a prophetic voice that is at the heart of our tradition."

Move over Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekial, and Elijah! Bernie is the greatest of them all!
