I want your opinion (Good thing I’m on the internet)
I was googling my name to try to find an article where I had argued with a wingnut (yeah, I know…but he DISSED RUSS! Fucker). Anyway, one of the hits came up with this Kabbalah site about my name. I’ve never studied Kabbalah, don’t know anything about it, and I tend to be skeptical of claims that peeps can know stuff about you from your name, the stars, your palms, tea leaves, etc., etc.,
But this is eerie in how accurate it is.

Feingold lets the people question Sotomayer
This is awesome, as is usual for Russ.
When you go to Feingold's Senate Site you will see 2 different ways he is letting layman citizens and lawyers/academics give their opinions about this nominee – via his listening sessions and via a special web page set aside for the purpose.
I don't remember him doing this with other nominees, not the web page thing, anyway. I think one good thing that has come about with Obama is it has caused other pols to ramp up their use of the net – of course, as we already know, Russ was pretty net friendly to begin with, but I can see where his net outreach has improved. This is a great thing.
So, if y'all got kudos/complaints about Sotomayer, let Russ know. I don't know enough to say much about her one way or the other with any certainty, but I have a nagging feeling she is not really liberal enough to counteract the RATS.
