And rat breath can’t be so bad, isn’t Lieberman married? » Posted By AdLib On November 6, 2009 @ 12:41 am That’s beginning to look like an understatement! A huge and grateful thanks to you and my many other friends here, long time and new, who are so generously contributing their time and energy to helping grow The Planet! And BTW: Kitty kitty » Posted By AdLib On November 6, 2009 @ 12:35 am Hi MikaS, a number of people have been asking about you! Welcome back to The Planet! » Posted By AdLib On November 6, 2009 @ 12:09 am Could be several things. I’ve noticed on my computer that Firefox 3.x will start to slow down after being open for a while, not crazy about the newer version, several issues. Are you using Firefox? If not, try clearing your cache, if that happens, some cache issues can cause browser problems. I’m thinking of going back to Firefox 2.x myself. » Posted By AdLib On November 5, 2009 @ 6:09 pm Very cool KK, way to go! » Posted By AdLib On November 5, 2009 @ 5:27 pm deygirl, welcome to The Planet!

Thanks and again, welcome! » Posted By AdLib On November 5, 2009 @ 5:24 pm Welcome tanya1111!!! Great to have you on The Planet! As I’ve mentioned, the atmosphere at HuffPo is so poisonous, it can mess with the minds of the most calm and reasonable people. At The Planet, we are trying to abide by the philosophy, “What happens at HuffPo, stays at HuffPo” and put what we’ve experienced there behind us. I hope LadyNaga would be interested in coming here, would be great to see her. » Posted By AdLib On November 5, 2009 @ 1:02 pm Hey Texas_Girl_in_LA! Looking back with a warm welcome to The Planet! » Posted By AdLib On November 5, 2009 @ 9:20 am Words Are Our Most Important Product BRAVO!!! In this country, it can be far too easy to take freedom of expression and the power of words for granted. Had Fate caused us to be born in North Korea, China, Iran, many parts of the Middle East, etc., where freely speaking or writing certain thoughts and words, we could be imprisoned or even put to death (as Iranian election protesters recently were). The pen is indeed mightier than the sword. It is words and ideas that can bring down civilizations (sometimes words like “deregulation” and “corruption”). Just imagine if Huffington Post was a government, imagine what living under their rules and system would be like. So, as imperfect as our democracy is, we could have done a lot worse. » Posted By AdLib On November 4, 2009 @ 7:30 pm Hey TD! I don’t get from the responses what you did. Looks to me that everyone (including me) respected you and the quiz and answered openly and honestly. There was a suggestion from KQ about considering posing questions in polls so that there is not necessarily a right answer in each case (you do mention in your post, “Hopefully you all answered Y to every question.”). We’ve had a few polls on this site and my minimal experience so far is that the best way to get the most honest and open response is to pose questions impartially, so that they don’t infer that there is a right answer. People can be swayed against answering openly if they feel it might create an unnecessary conflict. I actually see a lot of support here for your making this post and the majority of your positions on the issues. As for all of us being in the same boat here at POV, I think we pretty much are but what makes us as Progressives quite different from Republicans is that we think for ourselves and come to our own conclusions. We may disagree on issues here and there but for the most part, I think we’re united behind the same core beliefs and principles. » Posted By AdLib On November 12, 2009 @ 10:26 am I’m with you on the CIA being corrupt and I’ll go along with dissolving it as long as we can create a new intelligence agency or expand NSA. NSA is not structured nor has the resources currently to just take over everything from the CIA. I don’t think it’s a good idea to have one agency like the FBI in charge of everything, international and national together, it would be far too powerful and lead to the kind of violation of rights and oppression that the CIA’s domestic adventures under Bush led to. What’s unfair about the 75% is that it could be bought or attained purely by false character assassination by a candidate. I would prefer a three term senatorial term limit, so a politician has a healthy career and doesn’t just have re-election to a final term as his only focus after being elected. 18 years is plenty of time to do some good. Agreed, pollution is causing the epidemic of cancer that’s ongoing in this nation and damaging the future of our society. There is no justification for poisoning tomorrow because it means better quarterly returns today. » Posted By AdLib On November 5, 2009 @ 9:17 am The way you know if you’re in a huge crowd of invisible people is by dropping a dollar on the ground and seeing if it disappears. As to your quiz, Yes up to 8. As for 9, I don’t think the CIA should be abolished but it should be put under much more intrusive oversight and control and be forbidden to ever behave in certain ways. 10. I think all TARP money should be returned with itnerest but tied into declaration of quarterly profits. They are addicted to that, tie our returns to their necessities. As KQ said, pulling it all back now would be a shock that plunges us backwards economically. 11. I don’t think you can have a loophole on this and not see it abused at some point. Term limits that aren’t too brief but solid. 12. Basically I agree but I think all polluters should first be given ultimatums then if they keep polluting, shut them down. 13 & 14 – Yes. » Posted By AdLib On November 5, 2009 @ 12:17 am I tried that without luck so what I did instead is set up a link to a referral site, you can post this at HuffPo and the link there will send folks here: http://planetpov.wordpress.com/ » Posted By AdLib On November 4, 2009 @ 12:01 pm Heh! It’s meant to mean citizens of the world, not U.S. citizens. A people’s blog, not one run by corporate or political party interests. I will revise that section on the site, there is a bit of provincialism in this country and beating up on people who aren’t American, “Old Europe” and all of that, so I can certainly understand where she’s coming from. Please let her know that we have citizens here from several other countries as members and we would be thrilled to have her join our international community here. Looking forward to seeing her here! » Posted By AdLib On November 4, 2009 @ 11:28 am Your uncle was a wise man. We can attribute the Southern Strategy to Nixon, melding the Religious Right with the GOP but other than that, just about everything awful that has happened to our economy, working Americans and families and peace and stability in the world grew out of the Reagan Presidency. And who was his VP again? » Posted By AdLib On November 4, 2009 @ 10:06 am Nellie, you’ve focused on an important topic that I’ve thought about quite a bit. The proposition system has been hijacked in many cases by special interests to accomplish through manipulation and lies what could never be passed by a legislature. It has become a new path for corporate and ideological extremists to get what they want be deceiving and scaring the public. This needs to be seriously reigned in, the proposition system was meant to give citizens of a state power to make changes, not a shortcut for the greediest and most hateful from all around the country to thrust their agendas on the citizens of a state. The irony is, it will probably take a proposition to reign in propositions. » Posted By AdLib On November 4, 2009 @ 9:51 am I’m with you on that! The site url was banned when Kev7 was so I don’t know if it’s a zealous mod or truly the policy of HuffPo to ban our links. I will approach them on this to see if they’ll remove the ban after some time passes…and we grow bigger. If they want us to be publicizing around the net that they’re blacklisting progressive sites but allowing red state dot com, that will be their choice. » Posted By AdLib On November 4, 2009 @ 10:10 am Congratulations BigDogMom! You just made the 4,000th comment on PlanetPOV!!!! You win a House seat in the 23rd district in NY!* *(unless otherwise occupied. Offer not valid in NY.) » Posted By AdLib On November 4, 2009 @ 9:15 am Posted this just a bit ago at HuffPo under my Range Rover sock with a dual purpose. First, because it’s pretty funny. Second, to test if redstate dot com is blacklisted at HuffPo. Guess what, it’s not but planetpov.com is! I wonder if whoever banned Kev overreached by banning our URL and it can be reversed. Or if we represent a much greater threat to them than right wing extremists? In any case, here it is: Want a laugh? Red State can’t accept that a Dem won the 23rd in NY, they are declaring a Dem winning a victory for Repubs because the moderate Repub was forced out. http://www.redstate.com/erick/2009/11/04/in-ny-23-conservatives-win/ I can only hope we have more such Republican victories in 2010! » Posted By AdLib On November 4, 2009 @ 12:51 am Hey Grabamop! It’s never too late! You can always edit your posts by going into your Dashboard, clicking on Posts then hover your cursor over a post and the options will appear including “Edit”. To add a Preview image, you have to upload the image here at PlanetPOV then use the PlanetPOV URL for that image in the Add Custom box opposite “Preview”. If it’s any consolation, you did everything right except only part of the URL was in the Add Custom box which is why no image showed. Saw that you wanted a teabag so I subbed in this image, hope it works for you. » Posted By AdLib On November 3, 2009 @ 11:44 pm We Can Think That For You Wholesale Thanks so much, kesmarn, you’ve made my day! » Posted By AdLib On November 3, 2009 @ 6:04 pm I certainly do remember a testicular vacancy sign mosted at all the news networks when Bush was in office. How brave, only standing up to attack someone who believes in your right of Free Expression. As a whole, with a number of specific exceptions, the media are a bunch of cowardly vultures. » Posted By AdLib On November 3, 2009 @ 12:57 pm But why would we want to show the dignity of using the first name of that Dick? » Posted By AdLib On November 3, 2009 @ 12:54 pm Very easy to post videos here, especially YouTube videos. Just post the embed code from the site or for YouTube Videos, even easier: To post a YouTube Video, all you need to do is copy the URL address for the video and just insert a “v” after the “http” in the address (so it reads “https”). Really quick and easy! » Posted By AdLib On November 3, 2009 @ 12:46 pm I’ve founded a charity organization that helps rehabilitate former HuffPo addicts (like myself) by helping them relearn how to correctly type “gay”, “eleven”, “Bush”, “Cheney” and many other words. We also have Group sessions where we exercise Freedom of Speech without flinching or waiting 10 minutes to see if it is allowed or wiped. It’s a process but as we’ll say at the charity, just take things “One Post at a Time.” » Posted By AdLib On November 3, 2009 @ 12:38 pm A big welcome to The Planet, TheLateGrardini! » Posted By AdLib On November 3, 2009 @ 12:23 pm Looks like there are a lot of friendly faces here! Good to see you all. » Posted By AdLib On November 3, 2009 @ 11:52 am Thanks, I didn’t realize, removing mine! Cheers! » Posted By AdLib On November 3, 2009 @ 11:42 am Go get ’em! Seeya later! » Posted By AdLib On November 3, 2009 @ 11:41 am Love Vonnegut, haven’t read “Harrison Bergeron”, putting it on my reading list now. BTW, I assume you got the Phillip K. Dick reference in the title of this post (“We Can Remember That For You Wholesale”), si? » Posted By AdLib On November 3, 2009 @ 11:33 amComments Posted By AdLib
