Displaying 0 To 0 Of 0 Comments LIVE BLOG – GOP Debate at 5:00 PM PST in SC – 1/19 Sarah was right, and Limbaugh: Newt’s a victim. That’s how the Right thinks. » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 19, 2012 @ 5:11 pm Right. Repubs never engage in the politics of wedge issues. » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 19, 2012 @ 5:10 pm I’m going with “liberty.” » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 19, 2012 @ 5:04 pm I haven’t watched any other debates, but something tells me this one is going to be butt-ugly. And gaffarooni! » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 19, 2012 @ 5:03 pm “Yeah, That’s the GOP Ticket!” – Can Romney Lie His Way Into the White House? Paulie Walnuts rocks! » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 18, 2012 @ 4:19 pm I don’t know why I doubted you–that was weird. I’m a bit distracted today! 🙂 » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 18, 2012 @ 4:17 pm AdLib, did you hear that the Capt. claimed: » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 18, 2012 @ 3:30 pm We LOVE Tommy Flan-A-gan at our house! (He was married to Morgan Fairchild, you know.) Romney is like that Captain Shittyoti of the Concordia: He tripped and fell into the 1%. » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 18, 2012 @ 1:42 pm When you get the time, please read and tell me what you think: » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 18, 2012 @ 1:01 pm bito just sent me this via twitter–answers many of my questions: » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 18, 2012 @ 12:48 pm But won’t we export most of the oil from tar sands regardless of what kind of use it will have? Everything I’m reading says we will export it. To me, it’s not only about the USE of the oil, it’s that WE get all the pollution and environmental damage and then export it on the global market, where we re-buy it! » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 18, 2012 @ 12:36 pm Could not agree more. » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 18, 2012 @ 12:28 pm C’Lady, that is just a brilliant analogy. It really explains it all in terms anyone can understand. Wow, thanks! » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 18, 2012 @ 12:27 pm Axlerod Tweeted the other day that Romney was busy “scrubbing” his returns. Can someone really do that? Because if he can of course he will. Can’t we find out about the offshore funds? I think the offshore taxes and the Bain offshore registry is even more damning than the 15% tax rate. Both are legal, but there is something so unpatriotic about evading taxes in foreign countries–plays right into the Right’s xenophobia, even if they rationalize the low tax rate. And, off course, sending jobs to other countries ain’t too job-createry either. » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 18, 2012 @ 12:26 pm BREAKING Obama rejects Keystone Pipeline The Obama administration will announce this afternoon it is rejecting a Canadian firm’s application for a permit to build and operate a massive oil pipeline across the U.S.-Canada border, according to sources who have been briefed on the matter. However the administration will allow TransCanada to reapply after it develops an alternate route through the sensitive habitat of Nebraska’s Sandhills. Deputy Secretary of State William J. Burns will make the announcement, which comes in response to a congressionally-mandated deadline of Feb. 21 for action on the proposed Keystone pipeline. » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 18, 2012 @ 9:06 am Great and apt quote, Food. That card sounds like a fantastic idea too–we should all have them! » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 17, 2012 @ 3:05 pm Speaking of which: » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 17, 2012 @ 3:04 pm Oh wow, that’s a good point about boasting during a recession. And I am sure they will tout Obama’s many many accomplishments in the coming months. He needs more spokespeople too. » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 17, 2012 @ 2:26 pm Yes, KQ, and not only the Presidential ballot–look how Rethugs obstructed the CPA even while we have Obama and a majority in the Senate. To be honest, I never in my lifetime realized how involved and active citizens need to be in government. I used to vote and forget about it but it takes so much vigilance! And like 2004 (I think you already said this) Romney will be like Kerry was for us: We hated Bush but that’s not enough to GOTV. I believe that between the EmoProg disgruntalists and the disaffected Right they’ll cancel each other out. » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 17, 2012 @ 1:29 pm Heh! That was like a walk down memory lane–in a slasher movie! » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 17, 2012 @ 1:01 pm AdLib, I’m seeing more and more of these kinds of pro-Obama pieces from new sources–the most mainstream being Newsweek. I love them! Yet a recurring thread running though many of them is that this Administration has done a poor job touting its accomplishments. Do you think that’s the case? I think I do. But I don’t know if that’s true. If so, why, I wonder. Also, what have other administrations done better? Off hand, I can’t remember other presidents touting their accomplishments particularly. Well, except for this atrocity: » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 17, 2012 @ 12:59 pm C’Lady and E’cat, you both wrote on the same themes so I hope you don’t mind if I reply to you both, because you each gave me plenty of food for thought. My thoughts (and these will definitely be rambling!)run along the lines of E’cats first, even as my ideas are not as formulated as well as yours, CL. I think this is a human failing since the beginning, as you E’cat say. It’s not the ideology that’s the problem, it’s US! There are so many human traits which serve to keep us under the yoke of overlords. One of my recurring thoughts (and I say this as a believer) is the role organized religion has played in keeping people down. While there are spiritual and valid teachings about humility and service, these ideas have easily become co-opted and distorted into the idea of class and the entitlement of ones “betters.” We know all about that, so I won’t repeat it. There are also people who, whether due to psychopathology or upbringing or temperament, WANT authoritarianism. Some want to BE authoritarian. They empathize with, and fantasize being, the greedy rich. We need look no further than the nexus of the Religious Right and the Republicans to see where these types converge to form an alliance of users and the used. C’Lady, I loved what you wrote, especially about changing the terms of the discussion from redistribution of wealth (which to us is really a shorthand for justice) to one of the VALUE of labor. Not only is that more accurate, it might possible allow some of the blinded to see what we are really talking about. I can only hope that this is an evolutionary process; a natural awakening, in the way that say, the Magna Carta was but a good start. Once people’s view of where they fit in the scheme of things changes, there is no going back, at least not without tyranny. As it stands now too many are willing participants in their own destruction. » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 16, 2012 @ 12:44 pm Yikes! I wonder if it’ll catch on like the Santorum definition. Oops–gotta go– Zorro just Romneyed! » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 13, 2012 @ 4:16 pm Thanks, AdLib! I am beyond happy with so many things the President is doing. I just can NOT understand how he isn’t winning by a landslide already. » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 13, 2012 @ 3:39 pm You bring up a good point. The questions are unclear. If that’s really true, are we to believe that since 2008 the country shifted? It doesn’t say that. So if that’s the actual breakdown, how did Obama win so decisively? How did we keep the Senate in 2010? I’m very skeptical about polls. » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 13, 2012 @ 3:36 pm KQ, I was watching Maddow last night (which I haven’t done in a while) and she had a good segment on about how Obama is changing the military. among some of the things you mentioned, she also reminded us of those celebrity generals he fired. McChrystal is gone, and there was another one too. Petraeus is now CIA. He effectively returned civilian control of the military. Does anyone know who is the general in charge of Afghanistan? Me either. And yes, I agree: Bubba would have smoked OBL. » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 13, 2012 @ 3:32 pm New book out-not kidding: “Hey, Mitt, Dogs Don’t Go There.” » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 13, 2012 @ 3:27 pm We are Sue! » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 13, 2012 @ 10:50 am Khriad, I thought the same thing. In a way, it’s even more elitist. And the dog story? There are probably more dog lovers in this country than the combined numbers of R’s and D’s. It’d be pretty funny if this is what brings him down, but whatever it takes. » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 13, 2012 @ 10:41 am E’cat, did you ever see the movie, “American Psycho” starring Christian Bale? Well, those quotes could have been written for that movie. These people are are revolting. And why I want a revolution. » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 13, 2012 @ 10:38 amComments Posted By Chernynkaya
“Suddenly, because the ship was tilted 60-70 degrees, I stumbled and ended up in one of the lifeboats. That’s why I was there,” Yeah, that’s the ticket!
