I've told this story here in 2005, but last night I walked on the Mall and looked at the lit U.S. Capitol and was inspired to tell the story to someone else. So here it is again.

In 1994 I was dating a woman who was helping to raise her 7-year-old niece. We often would go to Washington, D.C., and often we would take her with us.

It was a pleasant day and we held her hands on either side of her and I said, "Do you know who owns that building on the hill?"

Traditions, traditions.

Let me be the first to say it as I have with others such as DarkSyde, georgia10, mcjoan, Superribbie, SusanG, BarbinMD, Devilstower, KagroX, MissLaura:

hekebolos, Angry Mouse, and exmearden are bad for Daily Kos

Speaking of KagroX, no one ever sees him around any more do they? Lesson to ya, don't be my nemesis unless you want to disappear for good.

I understand the worry caused by two gate crashers attending President Obama's first state dinner. It's a terrible embarrassment and a lapse that shouldn't have happened.

The Secret Service faces an unprecedented situation and the risks are up 400 percent.

And people should not crash parties, particularly state dinners.

But he's OUR president. I don't want security to ever be to the point that our president is not accessible to us.

Originally posted Saturday, November 1. With the first anniversary of the election of President Obama coming up, I thought I'd repost this.

...

I hope I can be indulged a very personal diary. Today I had my best day canvassing ever.

William Safire, The New York Times columnist and former speech writer for President Nixon, interviewed Nixon in hell and published the Q&As occasionally.

Through my underworld sources, I've obtained the latest transcript of the conversation between the two.

My blogmate Clem (wvablue here) and I are tag teaming the follow up to the diary Can you hear us now? I posted last night.

Verizon Wireless is co-sponsoring coal baron Don Blankenship's anti-environment, anti-labor rally. (See Sue Sturgis's diary here for additional details.)

Verizon Wireless heard from us. They just aren't listening.

We're not the only ones wondering why Verizon Wireless is co-sponsoring an anti-environment, anti-labor, anti-mountain rally with coal baron Don Blankenship.

Normally I'm strongly opposed to burning people at the stake, but Karl Rove has it coming, according to Karl Rove: If I Politicized White House The Way Obama Has, I'd Be Burned At The Stake.

Take a Trip to Hawaii, Mr. Dobbs, My Treat

As we know, CNN Czar Lou Dobbs won't do any journamalising to check out the birthcertificate of the Nigerian born President Barack James Obama (the true name on his birth certificate. He changed his middle name to "Hussein" to get away from the initials 'B.J.' True story*.)

Since Dobbs won't accept Meteor Blades' offer, I will so that we can drive a stake through the heart of this zombie myth. Who better than a horror blogger to kill zombie myths about Obama being born in Hawaii?

Lucy looked up at me with her lovely dark brown eyes as she greeted me at the back door this evening. Her tail thumped into the metal cabinet like a drum. I bent down and kissed her forehead and scratched her behind her ears the way I always have.

Daring protests are occurring elsewhere besides Iran.

kos:

No, I'm not turning this site green. As someone who actually grew up in another country, I know first hand the resentment created by heavy-handed American meddling. What's happening in Iran is an internal battle, and it's theirs to fight and sort out. If turning the site green would help, then perhaps, but it'd merely feed that narcissistic desire some people have to "do" something.

I agree with that.

But what if on June 25 the site goes purple in solidarity with those boycotting the DNC fundraiser for gay activists?

What if we sent a message that we stand by our gay brothers and sisters?
