Even Father Knows best–he was an insurance salesman and very middle class (although Jane Wyatt was weird). Then came the fantasies: Ozzie and Harriet–he never worked, WTF? And George Burns and Gracie Allen–well, they were celebrities but he had a creepy TV that could spy on his neighbors! The worst was the Donna Reed Show and Leave it to Beaver–the moms always wore shirtwaist dresses and pearls–always! » Posted By Chernynkaya On December 14, 2011 @ 9:54 pm Well, that YouTube didn’t work. No like! » Posted By Chernynkaya On December 14, 2011 @ 9:49 pm Technology confuse lizard! Lizard no like! Reminds me of the Reptilians trying to pick a candidate! I’m like E’cat tonight and can’t get to work (no Daily Planet tomorrow–too lazy!) » Posted By Chernynkaya On December 14, 2011 @ 9:47 pm Oh, kes, you got that right. That obvious, huh? » Posted By Chernynkaya On December 14, 2011 @ 9:42 pm The lady who found him on her couch called a wildlife protective agency and he’s in good hands now. And she didn’t try to touch him because she didn’t want to traumatize him. I’d gladly crawl on my belly for that baby! » Posted By Chernynkaya On December 14, 2011 @ 9:17 pm SOoooo cute! If I came home and found that little guy, I’d have to cuddle him. » Posted By Chernynkaya On December 14, 2011 @ 9:15 pm Y’all probably seen this–I saw it a while ago but it’s since gone viral. Baby Seal Breaks Into Home [through the cat door] [img]https://motherjones.com/files/images/baby_seal.jpg[/img] http://motherjones.com/blue-marble/2011/12/baby-seal-breaks-home » Posted By Chernynkaya On December 14, 2011 @ 9:04 pm Oh wow–that is too awesome. Just amazing. How can they possibly be taken seriously by anyone but the most severely stupid? » Posted By Chernynkaya On December 14, 2011 @ 9:02 pm Yep, Sally, the Vulcan Mind Meld still in effect! » Posted By Chernynkaya On December 14, 2011 @ 5:59 pm Yikes–pretty heavy handed on the italics there! Sorry! » Posted By Chernynkaya On December 14, 2011 @ 5:59 pm Oh, I’m so glad you wrote that up here–I was getting confused and lost on the thread below! And actually, upon trying to follow the conversation below, that is a good point. If the economy trumps everything–which I would guess Obama thinks–then I am wrong and it is smarter to do whatever it takes to keep the economy moving upward. All I know is that people are very very angry about the inequality and want someone to fight on their behalf. I know Obama IS fighting on my behalf but from the people I know and talk to, they are not feeling that as strongly as I do. They really want the dems to fight back as dirty as the Repubs fight. Now, I also understand your principled stance that the right thing to do is to do what is best for working people. But here’s the deal (for me–and I may be in the minority of Dems and Indies): I want to win this election by whatever legal means necessary,/i>. If that means improving the economy first and foremost–then you are right. If it means appearing to be tough on the Repubs and not being seen as “caving”–even if that is not what is actually the best course–I say do whatever it takes. » Posted By Chernynkaya On December 14, 2011 @ 5:43 pm Exactly, Sue, and that’s what I really like about it. » Posted By Chernynkaya On December 14, 2011 @ 4:47 pm Bito, the polls show over and over that many more voters (not only Dems) feel that the tax cuts for the rich are wrong. I believe that this is not being “spun”–it resonates because it is true. My point is, the Dems rightly called this an unjustice, as had the President. It has become a rallying cry and has proven to be golden for the Dems–because it is true and right. Now, for whatever reason, I will guarantee that unless the President AND lots of other Dems speak out LOUDLY and REPEATEDLY about why this compromise was necessary, the Dems will be seen as caving. We may not like that, but that is the political reality. We ignore that at our electoral peril–whether it’s fair or not. It may be the right thing to do for working families, but it is a losing position, IMO. » Posted By Chernynkaya On December 14, 2011 @ 4:45 pm What is good for working families is electing Dems. If they sabotage themselves–with the help of the memes that exist–they don’t help anyone. » Posted By Chernynkaya On December 14, 2011 @ 4:36 pm Sally the Bush tax cuts had sunset provisions that made them expire at the end of 2010, but they were extended in the fight you referenced. Now they are scheduled to expire at the end of December 2012. After the election. » Posted By Chernynkaya On December 14, 2011 @ 4:23 pm I agree 100%. That is exactly why I said it was such a huge mistake. We can complain all we want about the media memes but they are a reality–and BTW, a meme that the Dems promoted by saying the tax cuts for the rich were unjust. You can’t go full bore and decry something and then not expect to get punished for allowing it. As a pragmatist, that reality is something to consider–it’s pragmatic to deal with the press we have. » Posted By Chernynkaya On December 14, 2011 @ 4:17 pm KQ wasnt that awful? I had to unfollow him on Twitter, he’d lost so much cred. » Posted By Chernynkaya On December 14, 2011 @ 3:59 pm Kes–you are the wordsmith, so no, you have to be Prez. I want to be Secretary of the Interior! Or better yet, Sec. of Hostility Towards the GOP. » Posted By Chernynkaya On December 14, 2011 @ 3:56 pm Patsy, I am the one honored. But I could not run with my history. That aside, I really like their idea of encouraging people–people like (ahem) YOU! » Posted By Chernynkaya On December 14, 2011 @ 3:54 pm Ditto E’Cat. Seriously! » Posted By Chernynkaya On December 14, 2011 @ 3:53 pm Aw, thanks–I’d vote for you in a heartbeat. But I would never want to run. I just thought it was interesting food for thought and I really like their idea of getting people involved locally. » Posted By Chernynkaya On December 14, 2011 @ 3:52 pm Kes, I’m retired (albeit unwillingly) and I still wouldn’t run. I have too much baggage! But I thought it was a really interesting thought experiment. And it goes to show how worried people like you and I are about our Googling–which is a sad state of affairs. » Posted By Chernynkaya On December 14, 2011 @ 3:50 pm Well, KQ we disagree about the justice of that $1000, but it is not for me to say it isn’t more important to people who need it. I DO really need it, and it’s just my family’s stance. But that aside, you are a pragmatist, so as a practical issue do you think that this is not a big election issue (millionaires paying their fair share)? I have heard the Dems and Obama saying it is unjust for months and the voters say they agree. I believe that taxing the rich now trumps the value of the $1000–as a practical optics matter. » Posted By Chernynkaya On December 14, 2011 @ 3:46 pm Right, bito. That’s why I put “IF” in all caps. I have been reading all day that “the Dems are considering…” doing this, but the way CNN reported it it seems like a done deal. I am sure that IF it is factual, it will probably include UI extensions as well. I cannot see letting those people starve, but I want that terrorist blackmail made MUCH MUCH MUCH more clear to the public. » Posted By Chernynkaya On December 14, 2011 @ 3:34 pm I want a longer (and thus more publicized) fight and a government shutdown if it comes to that–win or lose. That’s just how strongly I feel about it personally, and politically, KQ. It is a basic injustice, IMO, and I believe many others feel that way. » Posted By Chernynkaya On December 14, 2011 @ 3:28 pm IF this is true, it is a huge political loser. We need the money we’d get from the tax cut extension, so I’m not a disinterested party, but I absolutely do NOT want the money if it means the rich get to keep their unjust tax cuts. (CNN) – In what would be a major concession, President Obama and Senate Democrats will drop their insistence that a surtax on millionaires pay for extending the payroll tax cut, a Democratic source tells CNN. This would be part of a new Democratic offer. The move comes after Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and other top Senate Democrats met with President Obama at the White House earlier today. » Posted By Chernynkaya On December 14, 2011 @ 3:13 pm MoveOn just asked me to run for office locally. (They asked all their “members.”) Dear MoveOn member, You should run for office. No, really. You, [Cher], should run for elective office: maybe city council or school board in Long Beach, or the state legislature in Sacramento. Here’s why you’re exactly the kind of person who should run: 1. We need more true progressives in office—more MoveOn members!–and fewer career politicians. 2. This is exactly how the tea party took power in 2010—running grassroots candidates in as many districts as they could. 3. With a wave of at least 2,012 American Dream candidates running up and down the ballot, we can start to defeat corporate Republicans and disappointing Democrats, and not just for one or two election cycles but for a generation. Would you ever consider running for office? It’s easier than you think, and there’s lots of help available. So what do you think? Are you in? Yes, I’d consider running for office. The tea party movement has recruited thousands of candidates for office over the past couple of years, and used them to spur a wave of attacks on progressive policies across the country. We’re working with partners like the New Organizing Institute’s Candidate Project to find strong progressives to run for office and fight for our rights, state by state. That’s how conservatives are working to change America, and that’s how we’re going to beat them in 2012 and beyond. It’s a whole new strategy for MoveOn. We can connect you with the resources to help assess what running for office would take, to find an elected position that could be a good fit for you, and to provide you with expert training, winning strategic advice, and other campaign help. If you’ve ever thought you might be willing to take your local involvement to the next level by running for office—or if this is the first time you’ve considered it—let us know and we’ll help you get started. Yes, I’d consider running for office. Thanks for all you do, I think it’s a good idea, but I would not run for office. Would you? It’s something to think about. » Posted By Chernynkaya On December 14, 2011 @ 12:53 pm Sue, I had to look at it for a minute–really struck me funny! » Posted By Chernynkaya On December 12, 2011 @ 6:12 pm This made me LOL!! » Posted By Chernynkaya On December 12, 2011 @ 2:41 pm Here’s a great site: The Dialectizer.
