The Case of the Abandoned Shopping Carts

Which in turn work right in sync with Professionally Unionized Shopping Industry Engineers Society (PUSIES).

Thanks for adding the pic KQ!

What bothers me about the plastic carts are the plastic babies left in the seat not corroding. What happened to good old fashioned lead baby dolls?

I’ve been asked to com-com-comment on your post by Local 49 of the Shopping Cart Return Efficiency Workers (SCREW) who respectfully take issue with your article.

They would like you to know that there is a huge industry dedicated to both the abandonment and return of shopping carts by professionals represented by their membership.

Your calling negative attention to their livelihoods jeopardizes their employment, it is the equivalent of a shopping cart with one squirrly wheel which squeaks loudly and spins around wildly.

The members of SCREW would appreciate your patience and tolerance of our completely unnecessary industry.

LaRouchies on the loose. Seig Heil!

Where ya been Kev, been too long!

When you do an image search using “Lyndon LaRouche” you end up with many photos like the ones in your article, racist and Hitler-themed attacks on Obama.

They want anarchy because the only way they or LaRouche, who ain’t gonna live forever, could ever have any influence in this country would be if society was torn apart and lunatics could pick up a shred here or there.

They are sometimes also Ron Paul supporters too, seeking a “leader” who will give some validation and legitimacy to being a fucking loon.

Yeah, right.

Who’s Paying to Kill Healthcare Reform?

The Repubs just look like chickens with their heads cut off, their heads are actually hidden out of sight, inserted in a place under their tail feathers.

There’s the old cliche, “The masses are asses.”

Considering that despite Bush and the Republicans destroying the nation and its economy, McCain being a bumbling fool and liar and having Palin as a heartbeat away from the Presidency, 46% of voters chose McCain…one can only conclude that we are surrounded by a herd of paint-chip-eating, Cheez-Whiz guzzling obese mo-rons in this nation.

The GOP plan for Health Care is the status quo.

How do you run and win elections on having a platform of continuing to drive towards the edge of a cliff?

Fantastic diagram!

We all know that the arguments outwardly presented by the GOP now are always bullshit, the true motivation of nearly everything they do is to thwart Obama and the Dems so they can hope that people become so fed up, they’ll give the box of matches back to the arsonists.

Republicans have no real convictions…mainly because they haven’t been prosecuted yet.

Senator Edward Kennedy the Liberal Lion of the Senate Dead at 77

Kalima…

Yes, me want cake and me want to eat it too. And me want Medicare but me not want government taking over health care.

BURP!

He continued to make a huge impact on this nation right up until the end. His support of Obama was a big turning point in the election and his commitment to Health Care Reform is the torch that Obama and many other Dems have and will continue to carry.

It is disappointing that he did not live long enough to vote on and pass the legislation that he has been championing for most of his professional life. Still, his passing at this time may be just the inspiration that Dems need to get this bill passed as EK would have wanted, it’s passage could be a tribute to him as well as the right thing to do for all Americans.

In the Senate, they should rename the bill after him.

There are not many politicians in history that cast a shadow as big as his, he was a true and principled liberal and progressive, he will be greatly missed.

Moment of Zen: Why the Hubble Makes Us Humble

Wow! Maybe we should add the category of Philosophy and Religion to this post, the concept of existence and how we exist in relation to all of existence is inescapable.

Can I say however that I feel really, really small right now and my annoyance at Bing commercials seems so unimportant?

Sustainable energy: from coast to coast, it’s gotta be the sun

What will really accelerate this is when the next gen of solar cells is created that can produce exponentially more energy.

As it is, solar cells are not very efficient but as more money pours into research from their growing commercial use and government investment, that could happen sooner than later.

» Posted By AdLib On August 26, 2009 @ 6:34 pm

I read a great book about many scientific theories in many fields, can’t recall the title right now but it agreed with this proposal that the only solution to our energy needs is solar.

It proposed that in order for our society to make its next big evolution, enormous amounts of power will be needed and this can only be realized by harnessing the sun. With so much energy cheap and available, so many applications for it will be developed that carry society into a new era.

An added proposition was that solar collectors could be placed in space where of course solar energy is most powerful and uninterrupted and then transmitted back to earth.

Fear – New and Improved!

Thanks Questinia!

BTW, I haven’t budded for a while, good suggestion!

Ask pages, visitors to the MN bathroom and the wives of several GOP politicians what the fear of sex does to Republicans.

It make them go cra-zy!

And on hikes up the Appalachian Trail…the long way around, through Brazil.

Looking at it merely scientifically, maybe fear/fear of death instinctively arouses the need to procreate.

Looking at it merely as a teenager, “This is so hot! My mom would shit if she caught us having sex like this! While we’re texting!”

Then again, maybe I secretly want to kill my daughter’s granny.

She did complain about my haircut last time I saw her…

» Posted By AdLib On August 25, 2009 @ 11:52 am

I would add that fear has always sold, I think 9/11 just made the use of fear to sell wars, security systems, opposition to health care and black presidents more typical and casual.

» Posted By AdLib On August 25, 2009 @ 11:51 am

Yep! And their religion as well.

I saw the AARP came out against them on this which is good.

The feeble minded people who are buying into any of the GOP bullshit are almost urging younger, uninsured folks to oppose them and Medicare.

They’re oblivious but they are participating in a generational war, the elderly idjits who want to keep all their socialist health care but have been stampeded against younger folks having ANY health care in some cases.

And it’s been public knowledge anyway that Medicare can’t be sustained as is so those elderly idjuts would drive it all off the cliff and have Medicare blow up then trim costs and survive?

My mom is on Medicare, she’s concerned. I want her covered but in a way that keeps her covered in the coming years.

Scientific Discoveries that Changed Our Perceptions of Reality

I must be such a nerd because I love thinking and reading about these kinds of things.

I just didn’t know that multi-dimensions looke dlike a pop art version of my intestines. Or else was designed by Frank Gehry.

The dichotomy is that we are living in a society in which science and technology surrounds us in nearly every moment of our day and yet we have a huge chunk of our society that believes in people turning to salt and that cavemen rode dinosaurs.

I’ve said it before, I wish that there was a way to only supply each person with the amount of science they believe in.

Then we would have more than enough money for Universal Health Insurance…for those that believe in medical science.

Many Developments on the Bush Torture Front

That is very reassuring to hear. If he is successful following all the connections, I’m confident the evidence of war crimes by many in the Bush Admin will be found.

Then what happens?

» Posted By AdLib On August 25, 2009 @ 1:20 am

I can think of no better answer to the dishonesty of Repubs on Health Care Reform than to change the focus back to recent history and the lies and crimes committed by Republicans when they had power.

Will these investigations follow the breadcrumbs to wherever they lead? I”m not certain, we now know that some Dems in Congress were in the loop on some of this and did nothing. They’ve blocked investigations below, might they try to keep this narrow?

Ultimately, one can only hope that Holder is committed to getting to the bottom of things and holding criminals responsible for their actions…despite any pressure exerted by Repubs and Dems in Congress.

Budget Reconciliation: If It was Good Enough for “Contract with America” It is Good Enough for Universal Healthcare Reform

The Dems only need to be law abiding, not “polite”. Playing hardball is what’s needed.

Reminds me of dialog from the movie The Cotton Club, something to the effect of:

“We don’t want a war.”

“Then you’ve already lost because you don’t even know you’re in one.”

This is as much a war as the Dems could be in…and Pres. Obama keeps chasing after the Repubs for bipartisanship?

Time to call the GOP out for what it is, rally the public and make this a Dem success instead of a bipartisan failure.

» Posted By AdLib On August 25, 2009 @ 1:28 am

So what would happen if a bill is put through reconciliation and some sections like the public option are clearly allowed but others may be questionable?

Like some contracts, would the sections not appropriate for reconciliation be severable, allowing the other sections to be passed or would the whole bill be disallowed?

If the former, it could be a great political move for the Dems to put the whole burrito into reconciliation and if the most popular and non-financial aspects are killed, the Repubs take full blame for it and the Dems would be in a powerful position to win a vote on those sections in a new bill.

I know that the Dems claim that due to the Senate schedule, a second bill on Health Care would have a bit of a delay but with the non-controversial issues the only ones left and everyone seeing that the earth didn’t open and swallow everyone because the public option was passed, public opinion should make this a slam dunk.
