Aloha, Kossacks!

I have two leagues open and ready for business. These are head-to-head leagues comprised of ten teams. Standard fantasy rules apply.

The draft for DKFL IV is 8/3/08 at 2 PM EDT and we have JUST 3 slots remaining!!

DKFL V is FULL!!

If you join, please be very active and make time to do the draft live. They're both via Yahoo, so you'll need a Yahoo User ID if you don't have one. It's simple to get one.

Details after the jump, so count to ten and pull that rip cord!!

So, I happened to check out Steny Hoyer's website today and I'll be damned....check out the poll on the right hand side of the front page, right at the top.

If someone with more technical skill than I can take a screenshot of this and post it in the comments, I shall link to it and send you much mojo.

So, what's the over/under on official apologies to Sen. Obama before the general election ends? 50, 60???

After the jump, check out this not-so-short list:

So, the Bush administration is opposing Rep. Barney Frank's (D-MA) bill that would allow the FHA (Fed. Housing Administration) to take on $300 billion in new mortgages to assist struggling homeowners as well as a bill would move to send up to $15 billion to the states to buy foreclosed properties.

Now, this is absolutely no shock at all to any of us. However, here's the kicker....after the flip.

Only four days and change until pitchers and catchers report for spring training. So, I thought it'd be a good opportunity to distract some folks from Clinton v. Obama and start up the baseball league again. Details after the jump.

So, it's that time of year again. Hop on in for some fantasy baseball action. These are very active leagues, so please make time for it if you do enter. They usually don't take more than a few minutes per week after the draft.

These leagues are hosted on Yahoo!, so you will need a Yahoo ID to join. It's very easy to get one.

We have two leagues available again, details after the jump...

Well, if you've been around Daily Kos today, you've heard about the sickening scandal suurounding former Republican Rep.  Mark Foley of Florida.

Now, there's something specific you can do about it.

So, this first piece is from the President's Press Conference on September 15, 2006.

Earlier today, Ambassador Dennis Ross was the main attraction of a forum at the JFK Presidential Library & Museum. Ambassador Ross was the lead negotiator for the United States in the Middle East Peace process during the administrations of President George H.W. Bush and President Bill Clinton.

The forum was led by Boston Globe reporter Kevin Cullen. He covered the Irish peace process for the Globe from Dublin as well as the war in what was Yugoslavia. He had an interesting perspective and asked what I thought were compelling questions.
