And don't forget to keep checking firedoglake for updates and action items regarding how to support Feingold's call for official censure of Bush. Note the Howardly award in Feingold's honor in the left sidebar here at Howard-Empowered People. (I just signed his petition--even though I generally avoid petitions like the plague--because I believe that when someone takes a stand like this, it is important to provide tangible evidence that we have his or her back.)

My "bad wolf" would like to award something along these lines to any Dem who is opposing this, but we'd need something different for the female senators. Or they could save us the trouble by just collectively showing some spine. How hard can it be? Compared to everything Bush has done, and insists that he will continue to do, censure seems to be equivalent in harshness to a preschool teacher sitting a misbehaving youngster down, looking him or her in the eye, and calmly stating, "That behavior is not okay."

And finally, not an action item, but something I want to post before I leave for the We Believe! Ohio launch, Happy Birthday LA*Mom!
