Ah, the weekend.
So, if you can, consider helping the "Burn Bush for Burner" effort. As of 10:40 p.m. Eastern Time, the ActBlue page reported over 1,040 supporters have contributed more than $35,000. That's amazing for the first day -- and the numbers just keep climbing. The admittedly ambitious goal is to raise $100,000 by Monday for Darcy Burner's campaign against George Bush's yes-man, Dave Reichert. This is a collaborative effort across the progressive blogosphere, which you can see from one of the latest videos posted by Jane Hamsher. Republicans are going to learn there is a political price to pay for having George Bush show up in their states and districts. The number of supporters is as important as the total...so join the bandwagon at any amount and send Bush a message.
With that, what do we need to know?
