The Daily Planet, Vol. 196

I don’t know why you bother with those morons, KQ. They are just like Baggers as far as I’m concerned. Both of them are fact-averse and ideologues. And there’s an element of racism from the Left too. Look, there are some things I’d like in a more perfect country too, but what blows my mind is, have they looked around at where this country is at?! Have they looked at the Congress for Christ’s sake?! I’m freaking amazed at how much good stuff this Administration has managed to accomplish EVERY FREAKING DAY. What planet do these Emos live on?!

The Daily Planet, Vol. 194

Thank you, AdLib!! I’m sure the president will definitely tout his accomplishment.

I have mixed–or at least unclear–feelings about the mortgage deal. Is it better to get some money for homeowners via a settlement, or try to prosecute the banksters. In a settlement, it it not only somewhat helpful, it’s stimulative. But on the other hand, I think it’s not punitive enough. I realize that prosecutions are risky too–absolutely no guarantee a judge would rule against the banks anyway. it would be wonderful from the standpoint of Justice being attempted, but not sure in the end it would help homeowners. This is one of those pragmatic choices I find hard to swallow.

I was afraid to read it at first–I thought it would be a hit piece, but I found it fair and really interesting. It was honest and I think even though it showed some major missteps by the Obama administration, it also showed that they understood what mistakes they made–I really blame Rahm Emmanuel and Larry Summers. Of course, Obama chose to hire them, but I don’t blame him at all for that. They had good credentials, and he was a new President.

They do, agrippa! And Social Security too. I almost think it’s more important to have a strong Dem majority in Congress than even teh Presidency.

KQ I’m pretty sure those poll numbers reflect the sickening influence of Fox, as well as the right-leaning bias of other media. Deficits are all they talk about, but another thing interesting is how little terror means to people. When a R is in power, they love to talk about the danger of terrorists and whip up fear. Also surprising was how little immigration matters. But like you, it’s depressing. Where I may differ with you a little is, I don’t think the jobless rate needs to get to 7%–I think as long as we’re moving towards that, Obama will be OK.

The Daily Planet, Vol. 193

This is basically what I’ve come to deciding: If I can’t afford to pay the price for something that’s produced with a modicum of morality and ethics, I can’t afford it. We have so much crap here in the US–buy so much stuff–it would be an actual blessing to not be able to afford most of the shit at Walmart. We could all save money and delay gratification the way my grandparents did. Plus, our trade deficit with China would improve. I can’t see the downside.

Of course, I do understand that for many people–especially with young families–they might really need the bargains which places like Walmart offer, especially on basics and nutritious food, even pharmaceuticals. But it’s a death spiral.

Bito, suicide is illegal here too. And as you say, what are they going to do–send me to jail??

OCD.

Funk, Chuckie is such a putz. He’s so mockworthy he doesn’t even get it.

Kes that is heartbreaking. Walmart–BAH!

That’s why I keep my Daily Planet workers in the basement, Funk. They can only jump UP. 😀

Sue, me too. It’s disgusting. I agree with you that the only way Apple will stop is if their bottom line suffers directly. But I was discussing it with my son last week–saying whoever buys Apple products should feel ashamed — and he told me that it’s not just Apple; those factories produce hardware for virtually every computer device we use. So we can’t effectively boycott all computers. My God, as I think of it there are SO MANY issues that I would take to the streets for. This is yet another one. That’s why my favorite sign from the early Occupy protests was this:

Glad you found it so, agrippa. And yep!

» Posted By Chernynkaya On January 23, 2012 @ 12:42 pm

Awesome, bito. That’s gotta be explosive! (Hope springs eternal.)

Thanks, kes–I saw that too, and was going to investigate further, but bito did it already and WOW!

Forward to the Past – Victorian Politics Today

This is awesome. Repubs are a disease, a plague on society. I know this is terse, and not up to my usual verbosity, but I’ve had a couple and want to cut to the chase. Choice, you rock. That is all.

LIVE BLOG – GOP Debate at 5:00 PM PST in SC – 1/19

Excellent. And here’s an article about what life was like before abortions were legal:

The Beatles ruled. The mini was in. I was seventeen, and pregnant. What happened next is what could happen again.

😆 😆 AdLib, that’s perfect. Braggadocio is really so masculine!

» Posted By Chernynkaya On January 19, 2012 @ 8:37 pm

Oh, thanks kes–that’s the one!

Sally!! That was a WINNER!

Not to get all grandiose or anything… :mrgreen:

» Posted By Chernynkaya On January 19, 2012 @ 8:23 pm

No kidding! AdLib, Obama is beyond cool; he’s unbearably cool! It was a stunningly stark contrast. My GOD!

we’re really maybe smarter. I mean it.

Video of him booed over tax-return dodge.

I’m sticking with Easy Street. Wall Street is a close second.

The only way Obama could possibly lose is if this country is terminally stupid. (Uh-oh.)

» Posted By Chernynkaya On January 19, 2012 @ 7:37 pm

I agree with the analysis, bito.

The Hill says the two tailor-made for Dems attack ads are Mitt’s response about abortion, and the “real streets” statement.

EDIT: Nevermind–we missed it.

In the meantime, Obama’s at the Apollo LIVE. Watch it here:

John King made Newt a hero to the Right with that question. He’s a big reason Newt may win SC.
