Welcome back

It's been a nice weekend, Tigers beat Southern Miss on Friday night, Grizzlies beat the Warriors on Friday night and then CHOKE last night in Seattle. They still are a long way from their 50-win form of last year.

Today Kos has a great article about the fight for DNC Chair, including this prescient comment:

I always, always laugh when I hear one of these insiders talk about the "disaster" that a Dean chairmanship would wreak on the party.

I mean, disaster compared to what? Being shut out from all levers of government? From the White House, Supreme Court, House, Senate, majority of governorships and majority of state legislatures?

How about the disaster of three straight losing election cycles? That's not a freakin' disaster?
Dean means reform. Simon Rosenberg means reform. There are probably other dark horse candidates out there who would mean reform.

And that's what we need. Reform, not status quo. The status quo is untenable. I'm tired of losing, and that's the only thing the current gang has delivered.
