Super-Tuesday: Please Back Away from the Computer

Fri Feb 01, 2008 at 11:44:00 AM PDT

DKos has had obsessively over the last couple of weeks (months, years...), and it seems like the diary list cascades stories about why Obama is the best candidate, or why Clinton rules, or why Edwards' exit means Obama or Clinton will surge.  But for the good of your candidate, all this has to stop for the five days before SuperTuesday as we step away from our computers and engage in our realtime communities.

Talk only goes so far.  There is an apropos phrase that describes DKos, five days before SuperTuesday, that you use when the people you are trying to convince already believe in what you are saying.  It is, "preaching to the choir."   no shortage of candidate diaries and comments.  I have been coming here

Crandall Canyon Mine and Public Entity Culpability

Fri Jan 18, 2008 at 01:53:38 PM PDT

Bob Murray is an easy target.  He is the ugly face of the mining company that co-owns and operates the Crandall Canyon Mine, which we all know about.  Kossacks Devilstower and jlms qkw have already done an amazing job discussing Murray's recently revealed role at the Crandall Canyon Mine.  

But in light of the minutes of the co-owners that were obtained by the Salt Lake Tribune, I think the focus can be expanded, as the mine was co-owned by Murray's company with the Intermountain Power Agency, which is a Utah public entity with strong ties to Southern California local governments.  As explained below, the minutes raise questions for both the residents of Utah and Los Angeles and other Southern Californian municipals as to what their public officials knew and when they knew it.
