As I was watching Bobby Jindals speech last night in response to the Presidents speech I was thinking to myself:

Hmmm....where have I seen this guy before? ..I know it wasn't that long ago....actually I think it was ONLY two days ago. Boy, does he sure seem different.

Let me offer some evidence below the fold.

Currently over at the Time Magazine Website you can participate in the arm chair action of the week.

Time magazine has set up a "25 People to Blame for the Financial Crisis" article and NOW, for a limited time only, you too can participate in the arm chair anarchy, the digital decicisiveness of letting the world know just how much you blame the people who caused this mess.

So grab those digital pitch forks and join me over the fold to see the list of who you can vote for, and who is currently in the lead.

Lets take a trip to a place in America known as "the Gold Coast". A fairy tale of a place portrayed numerous times in popular culture as a wealthy bastion of conformity, immorality, or anomie, most notably in The Stepford Wives. title=

Monday, Feb. 9, a group of 350 to 400 at-risk homeowners, organized by the Neighborhood Assistance Corp. of America , staged a series of protests outside the mansions of wealthy bankers in a moneyed Connecticut neighborhood.

More details of the people powered movement below the fold.

Since 2002 there have been the Weblog Awards. DailyKos has been nominated this year up against blogs such as Hot Air in the lead with 29.9%, DailyKos with 13.4%, BenSmith-Politico with 13.3%, Huffington Post with 12.7%, and Andrew Sullivan-The Daily Dish with 9.4%.

There are also five other blogs nominated including Gawker, The Consumerist, Comment is Free..., Boing Boing, and Threat Level-Wired Blogs.

So far the total vote count is only up to 3,716 so a couple hundred well placed votes between now and the end of voting on Tuesday January, 13 at 5:00pm(EST) should put our favorite liberal community, DailyKos, over the top.

Friday Nov. 20 the Greenwich DTC and the Glastonbury DTC voted and passed a measure to censure Joe Liberman(Loser-CT). In Glastonbury Dem. Town Committee took a little longer for the vote to be finalized because more Democrats who either missed the vote or just wanted their name added to the final tally.

The votes were overwhelmingly cast to:

"publicly censure and repudiate the words and actions of of Joe Liberman and to ask that he resign from the Democratic Party of the state of Connecticut."

Three states allow gay marriage. First was Mass., second was California, then there was Connecticut.

Many good lefties are aware of the heated battle over Prop 8, gay marriage in California, but many aren't away of what is happening in Connecticut with Question 1.

Since we've seen that the religious right will stop at nothing to continue marriage discrimination one should assume that they will attack Gay Marriage in CT or Mass. next..well, they already are.

A partnership of political and religious groups have formed the "Connecticut Constitutional Convention Campaign". The CCCC is supported by Republican Gov Jodi Rell, The Family Institute of Connecticut, the National Taxpayers Union, Federation of Connecticut Taxpayer Org., The Green Party of CT, and the CT Catholic Conference. These groups are not hiding what they're motive is (i know, ct green party) and by reading they're names I'm sure it'll make sense to you too. A constitutional convention supported by Taxpayer Orgs., Religious Orgs., and Republicans slowly losing any grip of control in this dark blue Constitution State.

For once we have a chance to stop marriage discrimination by cutting it off at the pass as well as protect taxation in CT.

More of my first Diary after the jump.
