Displaying 2,881 To 2,910 Of 3,333 Comments I thought it was a year’s supply of Clorox Clean-UP! I would have loved that! 🙁 » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 31, 2009 @ 8:33 pm Congrats, taffybelle! And welcome! I know you will find many friends here! Happy New Year, #200! » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 31, 2009 @ 8:32 pm Someone mentioned inviting Rachel Maddow to the Planet…so I just did. Here is my email to her: First, a very Happy New Year to you and yours! Let’s hope that 2010 will be a better one for all of us! Now, the main point…there is a new and very unique blog, established in August 2009 that you may be interested in. It is called PlanetPOV. We are liberal/progressive in our politics, but the unique thing is that we, the members, determine the content of the site by the articles that we write and submit. I have been on Huffington Post for over a year and have been discouraged by the heavy-handed moderation and the personal attacks by some people. The tone of that site has changed. Many of the HP members have gravitated to the Planet for these same reasons, and we have a wonderful group of intelligent and thoughtful people who regularly post there. We have no moderation and manage ourselves, rather well..I might add. Real freedom of speech is quite liberating! May I formally invite you to check out the site. We would welcome your comments and feedback. You have many fans there, myself included. Again, my best wishes to you and your staff for the New Year! Keep up the good work! ========================================= I have no idea that she will see this, but maybe someone on her staff will and log on. I think she would be quite an asset! » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 31, 2009 @ 8:26 pm Nope…a year’s supply of Clorox Clean-up! LOL » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 31, 2009 @ 8:20 pm WOW!!! Whoopee! 200! That’s great! Welcome, taffybelle! We look forward to hearing from you! » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 31, 2009 @ 8:19 pm Great!! You’re here! You have been sorely missed! 🙂 A big congratulations to you and all the others who keep this site running smoothly! This is quite an accomplishment! » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 31, 2009 @ 7:52 pm That would be amazing! I love Rachel! I’ll send her an email too. Maybe if a number of us invite her, she’ll check us out! » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 31, 2009 @ 7:48 pm “We don’t torture”…Dick Cheney 2009 Uh oh! I don’t want this thread to deteriorate like the other one did tonight! LMAO » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 31, 2009 @ 7:46 pm And I know it will grow. Just to let you know, you have opened a new door for me, writing. I never thought I had that much to say before now. As I sit here at the keyboard, it just seems to come pouring out. I will be looking into taking a good course, perhaps at our university here. I’ll do my best to improve! » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 31, 2009 @ 7:43 pm Where is Nellie tonight? I miss her when she’s not here! Her comments are always wonderful! » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 31, 2009 @ 7:37 pm 🙂 It just occurred to me that there is an hour and a half left of this year. I could have gone out with some people, had dinner and a few drinks, only to wake with a headache in the morning and nothing to show for it. But instead, I am here among friends! I really wouldn’t want to be anywhere else tonight! Thanks, Adlib! » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 31, 2009 @ 7:34 pm I know I can ALWAYS count on you, WTS, to crack me up! Happy New Year, friend! 🙂 » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 31, 2009 @ 7:21 pm Don’t worry, Keven! After all, it’s quality…not quantity that we seek! This is going to be HUGE in another year! » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 31, 2009 @ 7:20 pm Welcome, Sanity! You’re going to love it here, I believe! We are so glad you found us! By all means, dive in and write something for us! » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 31, 2009 @ 7:16 pm Good evening, TRP! I, too, have left the “dark side” and only go over to get some fresh material every few days. I knew I had beaten the bad habit when I actually DIDN’T go over for a couple of days…and I didn’t miss it one bit! The best part here at the Planet is the new friends! We do have a unique site and although I had no part in its formation, I am really proud of it! » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 31, 2009 @ 7:11 pm Marvelous, Adlib! Congratulations to you all for this rousing success! You have a “tiger by the tail” here! I hope that as the word spreads about this most unique site, and as the membership grows, that the content will continue to be a beautiful example of “freedom of speech” for all the world to see. You and the others are doing something truly significant! » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 31, 2009 @ 7:04 pm Hey Mo! I was going to log off but your comment dragged me back into the fray! I agree with you on some points, especially about the President’s considering himself an Executor. I believe him to be an avid student of history and in regards to health care, he saw what happened to the Clinton’s efforts to reform in the 90’s. Hillary basically wrote the bill and sent it over to Congress. Of course, they were highly insulted and those that hated her to begin with had all the material they needed to bash the First Lady and her massive plans for reform. President Obama could see the error of that approach and decided to give the responsibility to Congress to come up with a reasonable plan. While I can understand his thinking, his mistake was in not taking a much more “hands on” approach on the issue. He literally went for weeks without making any remarks after the speech to Congress. During that time, the Republicans grabbed the open microphone every chance they got and completely trashed anything the Democrats put forth. The lies and distortions were stunning. If President Obama was guilty of anything, it was naivete. I don’t believe he expected quite the level of vitriol that ensued. Many of us were stunned by the hatred of the tea baggers and the fact that many of our esteemed lawmakers supported them. Let us hope that the President has learned something from this debacle. He MUST be a strong and vocal leader. Surely he has learned that he cannot depend on a badly polarized group of partisan politicians to come up with plans for the benefit of the American people. That is not their focus…defeating him is! Bill Clinton has said that no one is ever prepared to be President of the United States. Barack Obama was not prepared either, but I do believe he is a quick study. For all our sakes, let us hope that he is. » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 31, 2009 @ 6:24 pm I note here that there are already 102 responses to my article about the hypocrisy of Dick Cheney….most of them say, “F**k Dick Cheney” or some aberration of the same! Keep it up, you guys! I will have the dubious honor of the post with the most replies! Maybe I will even have my post listed on the list over on the right side of the site! Please feel free to come back and post “F**k Dick Cheney” as the night progresses and when you feel the urge! LMAO You guys are the best! Happy New Year to all…and to all a good night! 🙂 » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 31, 2009 @ 5:48 pm Blame it on the “liberal media”!! What a joke that is! They keep insisting that the media is on OUR side…what a crock! Every time that pompous ass gets up in front of a mic, the media salivates and faithfully reports every word out of his hypocritical mouth! » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 31, 2009 @ 5:10 pm LOL! This thread has definitely deteriorated! I trust the posts will revert to their usual decorum tomorrow! 🙂 » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 31, 2009 @ 5:07 pm Got it! I’m not going to be able to find the keyboard if you guys keep this up! BTW, fuck Dick Cheney! 🙂 (I hope Congressman Massa doesn’t log on here tonight! LOL) » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 31, 2009 @ 5:05 pm Hey Mo! I could not agree with you more! I’m certainly not a conspiracy nut, but he DID enable it by making enemies everywhere. I do hope that President Obama will make the changes in our foreign policy that has everyone in the world hating Americans. We definitely need some changes! Happy New Year, my friend! » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 31, 2009 @ 5:02 pm Hey Hope! I just sent Congressman Massa an email commending his article. I also told him of PlanetPOV and invited him to browse our site. Thanks so much for the link! » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 31, 2009 @ 4:58 pm I’m beginning to feel tipsy! (Hic) » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 31, 2009 @ 4:13 pm My sentiments exactly, BDM! Happy New Year to you and yours! » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 31, 2009 @ 4:07 pm Don’t leave! But if you have to, we’ll miss you! Happy New Year, lady! You’re the best! Let’s hope the next year is a great one for you! Hugs! » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 31, 2009 @ 4:06 pm I saw that picture and it absolutely FROSTED ME!! I just decided to ignore it and concentrate on the hypocrisy of the rethugs. How dare they???!! That’s worse than the picture of the watermelon patch on the lawn of the White House. I would certainly never encourage anyone here to go over to that other site, but everyone should see this! Warning: this may be damaging to your blood pressure!! Here is the link: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/12/31/obama-palin-shoe-shining_n_408337.html » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 31, 2009 @ 2:56 pm I would have read the entire thing already except for the small type. I can only handle a few paragraphs at a time, but I shall persevere! » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 31, 2009 @ 2:41 pm Hey Sue! Hubris is being very kind! I would have another word for it! 🙂 » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 31, 2009 @ 2:39 pm Hey e-cat! Good point! I had almost forgotten about the “Biden Should Resign” crap that she put out there last month! I paid it very little attention as did a lot of people. I really used to think she had her liberal act together, but she has shown us her true colors! Just another opportunist like Ms. Mooseburger! » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 31, 2009 @ 2:37 pmComments Posted By Emerald1943
