Since this gives an estimate w/IA,NV,ME,WA not officially released, how would these numbers actually change? Please dont bash me for asking.
For 13 hours, he'll lie on a couch in the airplane, drink pomegranate-flavored water and watch reruns of Texas Rangers games from the glory days of Nolan Ryan and Jose Canseco
Eventually, he'll land in Beijing, China, for the 2008 Summer Olympics. He'll pose and smile for photos with great Chinese leaders.
You'll definitely read about it in the newspaper, and so will people just like you all over the world; and you'll probably feel pretty good when you do. Like a bottle of cheap gin the whole globe can pass around, the Olympics somehow make it okay to forget for a little while.
This is helpful for most of us, but somewhat unfortunate for the Tibetan people, whose struggle against occupation has gone on for nearly 60 years
In 1951, the Chinese government annexed Tibet and declared it part of China. In 1959, an uprising resulted in the expulsion of the Dalai Lama; since that time he has run a "government in exile" based in India and become a martyr for global political rights.
On March 10, in honor of the 49th anniversary of China's great experiment in the abuse of state sovereignty, Tibetan monks began to protest en masse the continued demonization of the Dalai Lama and China's efforts to ethnically cleanse Tibetans.
China, for its part, pledged to "resolutely crush" those people. Within days, it launched a fresh military campaign in the region. It kicked out journalists and declared no quarter on religious figures.
Anyway, a generation later, as a reward for Chinese progress and a concession that China has established itself as a modern global player, it gets to host the Olympics!
Irony in such high doses should be fatal.

WHAT IS THE STATUS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD PROGRAM?
Sorry to yell, but I'm not getting any feedback from my state coordinator and can't find anything on the national website about it. Was it just a figment of my imagination?
Tonight at our county precinct captains meeting, I met a 90-some-old democrat woman who talked about how the program I described sounded like how the democrats began organizing in New York back when Adlai Stevenson was running. Seriously, Adlai Stevenson! Is this the same program that we are still waiting for? Should we just do it ourselves using the old method or do we have new tools coming, or do I have to wait for the re-incarnation of Stevenson before this gets off the ground?
Any help or insight is greatly appreciated.
P.S. I *heart* Howard Dean.
Admittedly, I heard about this from a very drunk friend last night. But just because he was drunk, doesn't mean he wasn't right.

"Human progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability; it comes through the tireless efforts of men willing to be co workers with God, and without this hard work, time itself becomes an ally of the forces of social stagnation. We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that the time is always ripe to do right. Now is the time to make real the promise of democray and transform our pending national elegy into a creative psalm of brotherhood. Now is the time to lift our national policy from the quicksand of racial injustice to the solid rock of human dignity." http://www.africa.upenn.edu/Articles_Gen/Letter_Birmingham.html
