Vox Populi – 11-28-2014

Buuuurp! (‘scuse me!)

pinkpantheroz

A tad too warm here for turkey, but we did have nice salads!

pinkpantheroz

I don’t think so, Tim!

pinkpantheroz

BRB getting some of that! actually a coffee!

pinkpantheroz

Hey Ad, no shopping today. Cleam

sillylittleme

ned up from yesterday

sillylittleme

It’s chilly in LA?

sillylittleme

Totally agree. I usually wait til next weekend when things have calmed down.

sillylittleme

We got a bit of Thanksgiving snow, freezing until Sunday when it goes back into the 50s

sillylittleme

Exactly!!

sillylittleme

So who cooked?

sillylittleme

Sounds nice. Yes, I cooked for myself and my man and also cooked for my landlord and his sons.

sillylittleme

Two kitchens, two meals, slept like a baby last night.

sillylittleme

Without a doubt.

sillylittleme

Of course, money is all they care about. What a sad statement about society…

sillylittleme

State elections here in Victoria today. Liberal (GOP) incumbents will probably get thrown out by Labor ( dems) as a protest at the Federal Bunch of eejits

pinkpantheroz

Evening Glenn, survive Thanksgiving?

sillylittleme

I’m in a safe GOP seat but I’ll still vote Labor.

pinkpantheroz

Evening, Silly, Ad, and PPO. Yes, I did have a nice Thanksgiving. Sounds like yours was nice, also, SLM.

glenn

Ad – seems like we are backwards from the rest of the fully developed democracies…

sillylittleme

Yes, ad, but it is only one state, and the gerrymander is alive and kickiing! But the demographics are starting to change, so….. we live in hope.

pinkpantheroz

PPO–your situation sounds like mine. I’m in a red state, but still vote Dem.

glenn

Glenn – I had a lot of fun cooking!!!

sillylittleme

At least we do get a large voting turnout, due to it being compulsory!

pinkpantheroz

SLM–good on ya for cooking. Luckily, I rely on my son-in-law and daughter to do most of the cooking nowadays. My son-in-law made baked ziti, as well as turkey and all the trimmings. Lots of leftovers!

glenn

PPO – wish that we had compulsory voting…

sillylittleme

fix that, Ad by making it an honorable duty to vote.

pinkpantheroz

Glenn – yum, nothing better than a man who knows his way around the kitchen…

sillylittleme

SLM, yes it’s really no impost, especially when the elections are held on Saturdays and it only takes a minute or two. Plenty of booths, few queues.

pinkpantheroz

Ad – if it were compulsory, then apathy wouldn’t be tolerated,

sillylittleme

All-I am so pissed off with all those lazy ass Dems who didn’t vote, and I really don’t care what their reasons for not voting were. I’m going to sound like a tbagger here and yell, “I want MY country back!” Rude, disrespectful repubs are talking about NOT inviting the President for the State of the Union address. WTH is wrong with these people? They’re sore losers and even sorer winners!

glenn

Glenn – couldn’t agree more, want MY country back to sanity and sensibility

sillylittleme

Ad – of course, because they’d never have another seat in any position

sillylittleme

ad, you’re probably right, but couldn’t the US at least vote on a weekend?

pinkpantheroz

Glenn – who do they think will give the SOTU address?

sillylittleme

SLM, David Letterman’s Top Ten!

pinkpantheroz

BRB

pinkpantheroz

SLM–They want the President to give it in writing; they just don’t want him to be able to speak in Congress.

glenn

PPO – even if it was on a weekend, so many people work weekends it wouldn’t alleviate the problem

sillylittleme

Glenn – so they want people to read it?

sillylittleme

Ad–you haven’t heard that one? Yes, some repubs are saying that they will NOT invite the President to Congress to give the SOTU address. They want him to put it in writing–in other words, they don’t want to show bipartanship! They just want to show their buffoonery.

glenn

Ad – more like puppet presidents need only apply…

sillylittleme

Glenn – who specifically is pushing this tripe?

sillylittleme

SLM–I guess it’s okay with them if people read it, they just don’t want President Obama in Congress. I’m going to look for the link now.

glenn

Ad – he should lock them out

sillylittleme

sillylittleme

From the article in Salon: As best we can tell, its genesis is a Breitbart News column, because of course it is. Breitbart’s Joel Pollak writes that Obama can just turn in his State of the Union on paper and members of Congress can read it into the record:

glenn

Glenn – they’ve obviously completely lost their minds. Sounds like some charges of treason are warrented…

sillylittleme

SLM–There you go! Do you believe those assholes? I usually don’t cuss this much, but I canNOT believe these people. They are such babies and brats as Ad says.

glenn

SLM I tried to copy the whole quote, but it didn’t make it. However, it seems it began with a writer at Breitbart.

glenn

SLM–And…members of Congress can read it into the record. So..if they try this,.does boner get to read it? Will they read it in its entirety without “editorial” comments? Assholes!

glenn

I’d love if President Obama gave the shortest SOTU speech in history:

pinkpantheroz

They are no longer to be considered adults. I would go further and call them puckered, gaseous assholes

sillylittleme

” The Union is in a state of total meltdown, and it’s all your fault!” End of speech

pinkpantheroz

PPO – he should say the state of the union is crap and especially those who sit before me, tasked with creating laws they instead create chaos.

sillylittleme

SLM–I like the adjectives you added!

glenn

PPO–No, I think he should give the LONGEST speech. Let the puckered, gaseous assholes listen for an hour or two. And, where are the Dems condemning this move? Why isn’t every Democrat in Congress calling out these bastards for this stunt?

glenn

Ad – if we ever have another R president, the Ds should stand as one and moon him/her…

sillylittleme

All–Maybe President Obama should read “Green Eggs and Ham” for his SOTU speech. After all, it “worked” for rafeal cruz, didn’t it?

glenn

SLM–Ooh, I like the way your mind works!

glenn

Glenn – he should read the Lorax then announce that Keystone is dead…

sillylittleme

Nice Ad!!

sillylittleme

SLM–LIke that one, too!

glenn

Ad–Good one!

glenn

Ad – can you imagine if he dressed that way? That would be the headline, not what he said…

sillylittleme

Ad–Definitely he should pull a Bulworth and do rap! Love it!

glenn

All – Verizon in MA has dropped the local Fox affiliates because Cox Communications wanted to increase the rates. Suffering Comcast customer here, but its nice to see corporations going at it!!

sillylittleme

SLM, wish everybody dropped FUX

pinkpantheroz

SLM and PPO–As far as I’m concerned, all of the anchors at Fox should be tried for treason.

glenn

PPO – unfortunately they didn’t drop Fox News as that is national and not owned by Cox.

sillylittleme

All – 400,000 customers cut off with just a couple of days notice. Most were upset about losing access to football…

sillylittleme

never having had cable, glenn, I can’t say, but from what I gather elsewhere, you have a point.

pinkpantheroz

PPO–I don’t watch fox, but all you have to do is read on other sites what they say.

glenn

SLM, typical, osn’t it that the upset is over football, but warped news still goes on. sigh

pinkpantheroz

All – bringing back the Fairness Doctrine puts a stop to it all.

sillylittleme

Hey Kalima, are you with us tonight?

glenn

Oops, guess Kalima pushed the wrong key.

glenn

BRB

pinkpantheroz

Glenn – she’s with us in spirit…

sillylittleme

SLM–The puckered, gaseous assholes will never let the Fairness Doctrine become law again. It would put a stop to foxso-callenews, and probably even MSNBC, which sometimes, IMO, wouldn’t be a bad thing.

glenn

All – Cox Communications is another of Romney’s “projects”, guess that car elevator is costing more than he thought to run…

sillylittleme

SLM–saw her name momentarily on the side.

glenn

Glenn – it would cause all of the corporate media to be broken up, and that wouldn’t be a bad thing

sillylittleme

SLM–I agree. What is it now? Only about two or three corporations own all of the news outlets?

glenn

Ad – basically what most were commenting, its always the customers that get squeezed.

sillylittleme

Glenn – I think there are a few more than that, there are still some regional news corporations, but you’re point is well taken

sillylittleme

Hey Sabreen

sillylittleme

Happy belated Thanksgiving everyone! I just wanted to stop by and say I hope you enjoyed the holiday.

sabreen60

Ad – I want to attach an image from Facebook that sums up your feelings on the subject. What do I have to do to post a picture…

sillylittleme

sillylittleme

Hey Sabreen!

glenn

SLM–That about says it all.

glenn

Ad–SLM’s link worked; I could see the picture.

glenn

Glenn – not everyone has a Facebook account…

sillylittleme

slm – Thanks a great sign and so true. People were protesting Walmart all over the country. But retail companies like Macy’s are just as guilty. They pay min wage and then didn’t close for Thanksgiving so their employees could spend the day with their families. It’s just so disgusting. But on the other hand, people were lined up for blocks waiting to get into Walmart. So hundreds protested, but thousands shopped.

sabreen60

AdLib et al – Yes I enjoyed the day very much. At least I was able to close my mind to all the crap going on.

sabreen60

Sabreen – agree and those who shopped are so wrapped up in themselves that they don’t see the disgusting treatment of those who have to work. Attended a Veteran

sillylittleme

Sabreen–I guess the good news is that some people did protest.

glenn

‘s Thanksgiving dinner and sat next to someone who thought the Waltons were entitled to all of their billions. He also was anti-union.

sillylittleme

glenn – Yep. But the only way real change is going to happen is when enough people get fed up.

sabreen60

Sabreen–I agree, but I’m afraid that’s going to take a very long time! Hell, people aren’t fed up enough to even vote, let alone protest!

glenn

Sabreen – so agree, but that will take a hell of a lot of people to get po’d

sillylittleme

slm- Of course there are people like that. If not, then the unions couldn’t have been decimated. We can always count on people who don’t care about other people.

sabreen60

Hey Kalima, how

sillylittleme

‘re things in Tokyo

sillylittleme

Sabreen – as my man said, he is retired so he has his can’

sillylittleme

t be bothered with anyone else

sillylittleme

I’m not on the Chat but working somewhere else, so please don’t think that I’m ignoring you.

kalima

Sabreen – that didn’t stop him from wrapping up a couple of plates to take home to his wife. He didn’t see the irony…

sillylittleme

Well folks I wish I could stay, but I must go. Have a great and safe week.

sabreen60

Okay,folks, time for me to call it a night. G’night everyone. Hope you all have a good weekend. Peace!

glenn

G’night Sabreen. Take care.

glenn

Nite Sabreen and Glenn, have a happy and healthy weekend.

sillylittleme

Hope you are had a great Thanksgiving. Bye for now and take care.

kalima

All… Had a ….

kalima

I’m signing off, too. Gotta go vote. take care, everybody.
