An urgent reminder to our liberal, moderate, and not-conservative-enough readers: please keep in mind that Friday is 'We Surround Them' day, the day when newsperson Glenn Beck, noted not-Hollywood not-celebrity Chuck Norris, and a collection of ultrapatriotic Randian nobodies are going to flex their muscles and show all of America the tremendous power of their particular brand of ultra-conservative movement. I believe this power will manifest itself primarily through outdoor barbecues, but nobody's been very clear on that. And the barbecues have something to do with resisting socialism, where socialism is defined as... well, that's not really been made too clear either, but I think it has something to do with the Bush tax cuts being allowed to expire, or making fun of Sarah Palin one too many times. For that matter I don't know what the hell weekday barbecues have to do with fighting socialism in the first place, but I'm presuming it's a roundabout way to say Bring Your Own Damn Beer? In any event, there may be as many as multiple dozens of people involved in these demonstrations of conservative power, so the rest of us might want to stock up on canned goods, or set the national threat level to "doughy" or something. Be warned: we can expect to be really, really surrounded. As a public service, we at Daily Kos will be keeping you informed of all breaking "We Surround Them" news throughout the day. We will have reports on how surrounded you should feel, what areas of the country are in the most danger of being surrounded, and whether or not sharing the same ketchup bottle makes you a communist. We're also asking you, our users, to keep us updated. Let us know how surrounded you are, during this possibly gigantically super-important flexing of conservative power. So be sure to keep your browsers open to this site for all the breaking updates.

Credit goes where credit is due: Chris Matthews does a pretty good job of dressing down Ari Fleischer for once again claiming that 9/11 was linked to Iraq. (Video of the full Hardball segment discussing Fleischer's lie, including a rush transcript, is at DKTV.) Here's a transcript: Good evening, I’m Chris Matthews. Leading off, it never stops. Last night on "Hardball" I had a good tiff with Ari Fleischer. We both gave it a good effort and I hope he comes back. That said, I didn’t catch something he said at the end of the appearance just as I was thanking him for coming on. I didn’t hear it until I watched the 7:00 edition last night. But a lot of people caught it when it first aired and didn’t like it. FLEISCHER (recorded): Chris, and I believe this still today, and of course you and disagree with it, but after September 11th, having been hit once, how could we take a chance Saddam might not strike again? And that’s the threat that has been removed, and I think we’re all safer with that threat removed. MATTHEWS (recorded): And I’m glad we don’t have an administration that uses that kind of argument. Thank you very much, Ari Fleischer. We could not take the chance that Saddam Hussein "might strike again." Well, the problem with that statement is that Saddam Hussein didn’t attack the United States on 9/11. A lot of people were led to believe he did by statements coming directly from President Bush and Vice President Cheney and that made the case for them. Got them to back the war, a kind of ‘Remember Pearl Harbor’ kind of thing. In fact, in addition to the talk about nuclear threat of saddam, all that mushroom cloud talk, this was the gut deal maker, the big nasty powerful untruth that led so many middle of the road Americans to buy the Bush case for war — that Saddam Hussein had attacked us on 9/11 and we had to stop him from attacking us again. Three-quarters of the American people bought that untruth. Why can't the Bushies ever just give it up?

Fire Dog Lake
A study claiming the Employee Free Choice Act would destroy 600,000 jobs is being seized on by business groups and the media. But few have looked at who backed the report -- and no one is looking at the shaky research itself.

As a member of the US Senate, David Vitter is one of the most powerful men in the country. And this is how he behaves: According to an HOH tipster who witnessed the scene, the Louisiana Republican arrived Thursday evening at his United Airlines gate 20 minutes before the plane was scheduled to depart, only to find the gate had already been closed.
