DHinMI either just banned Bad Santa from DKos or convinced someone to ban Bad Santa from DKos. All Bad Santa did was point out the fact that the mainstream media repeated Matt Drudge reports last week nationally for 2 news cycles without fact checking the story in this thread...

From thinkprogress.org...

"...SEPARATE BUT EQUAL" EDUCATION: The Wall Street Journal reports that Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings will ask Congress to waive a federal law that bans educational segregation for homeless children. The Bush administration is arguing, along with states like Utah and Texas, that providing schooling for evacuees - who, in this case, are likened to homeless children -- will be disruptive to public school systems, so they want to have sound legal backing for creating separate educational facilities for the 372,000 schoolchildren displaced by Hurricane Katrina...."

The Republicans can't pretend they aren't bigots anymore, so they have just stopped trying.

It's become apparant today that the efforts of the federal government to rescue the victims of Hurricane Katrina are too late and woefully inadequate. We must protest lack of support that the victims in New Orleans are recieving. These innocent victims of a natural disaster cannot be allowed to be left to die in the ruins of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast.

A Yahoo group has been started to start organizing political action. Please come to this group and lend your experience in shaping the action to be taken.

From an afs diary at mydd.com...

"These are monsterous numbers for Air America affiliate KPOJ. KPOJ continues to rocket up the ratings to the #5 slot in the market 12+ overall.

KPOJ jumped from a 3.3 to a 4.5 share in one ratings book. KPOJ didn't just leave O'Reilly, Hannity, and Lars Larson behind. Franken, Rhodes, and Garafalo dusted Beyonce and Maroon 5. Portland's Top 40 station was left in Air America's wake, too."

The Final Time Trial.

Today is guaranteed to be filled with bittersweet moments. Today is Lance Armstrong's last competitive cycling race. The ride into Paris is just an opportunity to wave and smile at the fans.

There's not a whole lot to say. Lance will go out on top, not just by winning the stage, but by dominating it. If you aren't in a position to watch now, catch one of the OLN replays later in the day if you can. You'll want to file away the images for stories for your grandkids. A career worthy of classical epic poetry is about to conclude. Read More

Today is the last regular stage of the Tour. Tomorrow is the time trials. Sunday's ride into Paris is more parade than race. Only the sprint specialists are still racing on Sunday. The overall contenders will take it easy today. They will be saving their strength for the time trial tomorrow.

That's means we have a bunch of riders who have no chance of placing in any of the competitions who will be trying to grab their last chance at glory in France for theis year's Tour de France. Read More

I said Discovery Channel was looking to shut up it's critics yesterday. They did. Discovery Channel now has a chance to win not only yellow, but 4 of the 6 major trophies of the TdF (Yellow, White, Team, Team Time Trial). Throw in a couple of stage wins for Savoldelli and Hincapie when Discovery Channel really wasn't even trying, and it's about as dominating a performance as a team gets at the Tour de France.

Today is the rolling terrain of the Massif Cantral. At some point, Discovery Channel is going to put it in cruise control. They have proven their point. I don't know if today is the day they will relax or not. Lance only has one really competitive stage remaining... Saturday's time trial. Lance and his Discovery team may just kick back and enjoying a nice bike ride together today. Read More

Loooooong and pretty flat stage today. Lance really only has one stage of racing left later in the week in the last time trial. Between now and then, it will be a case of slapping a "Handle with Care" label on Lance and just get him from place to place without breakage.

As far as today's stage goes, I think Lance and the Discovery Channel team is kinda ticked off at all the reporting about mediocre performance of the team as a whole. I think the complaining about Hincapie parking at the back of the breakaway Sunday didn't help. Look for a Discovery Channel domestique or two to try to get involved in any breakaways today to shut up the critics.

Yesterday was a rest day. Today's stage is the last chance for any climbing specialists to gain time on Armstrong and the other overall classification leaders. Today could also be a good opportunity for Rasmussen to try to gain some time on Ullrich to try to finish on the podium in Paris.

The Queen stage. The big stage. The toughest stage. However you want to refer to it, today's stage of the Tour de France will be the toughest and the most important in determining who will be standing on top of the podium in yellow in Paris.

Lance Armstrong extended his lead of the overall classification yesterday. Lance is riding well. The same thing can't really be said for his teammates. Lance got caught alone by the rest of his rivals. Lance not only held them off, but improved his position. Can Lance continue to hold off the field with mediocre performance by the rest of the Discovery Channel team? Read More

Back to the Mountains. This time, we're in the Pyrenees. Lance Armstrong is leading, and he is strongest in the mountains. There could be a problem for the Discovery Channel team with the loss of Manuel Beltran, a mountain specialist. Someone else on the team will have to step up and fill in for the great job he was doing setting pace early in mountain stages. Lance will also have to keep his eye on Michael Rassmussen. Rassmussen must make any move he's going to make in the next two days. He's not a good time-trialist. If Rassmussen wants to challenge Armstrong for yellow, he will have to try to do so this weekend.
