If he did, he would have better hair. » Posted By SallyT On October 24, 2012 @ 3:06 pm Is Etsy Ebay? Are you typing in the dark, Sherlock? If not, tell me where to find it. I will check it out for sure! » Posted By SallyT On October 21, 2012 @ 8:35 pm If they can do it, they’ll do it. I got my hard hat and I am ready to roll! » Posted By SallyT On October 21, 2012 @ 7:42 pm Yep, that is what that article says. Of course you already knew all about it. I am always behind. But, should you drop something, I’ll be there to pick it up! » Posted By SallyT On October 21, 2012 @ 7:40 pm Hey Sherlock! Thought you might find this interesting but not so surprising. If someone has already posted, sorry for the repeat. Romney Family Investment Ties To Voting Machine Company That Could Decide The Election Causing Concern (Ohio voting machines, you know, the ones that don’t work.) » Posted By SallyT On October 21, 2012 @ 7:17 pm I just watched Bill Moyers show on PBS: WHEN BOSSES PUSH THEIR POLITICS He says that Citizen United may have canceled laws that controlled corporations from telling employees how to vote. He quotes Trevor Porter: “Corporations argue that it is a constitutionally protected use of corporate ‘resources’ to order employees to do political work on or attend campaign events even if the employee opposes the candidate, or is threatened with being fired for failure to do what the corporation asks.” Welcome to the Gilded Ages Folks! I attached the link to his show, if you care to watch. http://billmoyers.com/segment/bill-moyers-essay-when-bosses-push-their-politics/ » Posted By SallyT On October 21, 2012 @ 6:48 pm I know, I know, don’t pay attention to the polls but if anyone else is tired of seeing that Gallup Poll with Romney ahead all over the place, let Nate Silver set it straight. NATE SILVER: Here’s The Truth About That Gallup Poll That Shows A Huge Lead For Mitt Romney Silver’s post is broken down into two parts. The first is a technical discussion of how Gallup fits into his own model (which still gives Obama a 70 percent chance of winning the election). The second part talks about Gallup’s reliability. » Posted By SallyT On October 20, 2012 @ 8:27 pm Nirek, I am so jealous! I would love to get to see, hear, and speak with Senator Sanders. But, I am glad you got to and gave him your suggestions. Wonderful! » Posted By SallyT On October 20, 2012 @ 8:11 pm [img]http://media.caglecartoons.com/media/cartoons/10/2012/10/20/120805_600.jpg[/img] Political cartoon of last debate. » Posted By SallyT On October 20, 2012 @ 8:07 pm [img]http://www.truthdig.com/images/cartoonuploads/obamaachilles_500.jpg[/img] » Posted By SallyT On October 20, 2012 @ 8:04 pm Before the debate on Monday, this is a very good article on the Benghazi attack. Explains that there was no cover up. The Benghazi Controversy, Explained http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2012/10/cutting-through-fog-benghazi-brief-qa Bottom line: There were conflicting reports on the ground, and that was reflected in conflicting and sometimes confused reports from the White House. I don’t think anyone would pretend that the Obama’s administration’s response to Benghazi was anywhere near ideal. Nevertheless, the fact is that their statements were usually properly cautious; the YouTube video really did play a role; the attack was opportunistic, not preplanned; and it doesn’t appear to have had any serious connection with al-Qaeda. It’s true that it took about ten days for all this to really shake out, but let’s be honest: ten days isn’t all that long to figure out what really happened during a violent and chaotic attack halfway around the world. I get that it’s a nice opportunity for Republicans to score some political points in the runup to an election, but really, there’s not much there. » Posted By SallyT On October 20, 2012 @ 7:58 pm Kes, I think this costume fits him….

Think what they would have come up with if drinking had been legal. Bootlegging lead to some colorful sayings. But, where would NASCAR be if they hadn’t started driving fast to beat the fuzz? » Posted By SallyT On October 19, 2012 @ 5:25 pm [img]http://www.truthdig.com/images/cartoonuploads/lk101812dAPR-500.jpg[/img] » Posted By SallyT On October 19, 2012 @ 3:06 pm Does Obamacare cover tattoo removal? » Posted By SallyT On October 19, 2012 @ 2:55 pm Funk, the Salt Lake Tribune is not that conservative as you might think would be in SLC. Now if the Deseret News endorses President Obama, that would be something and I am sure the gold angel on top of the SLC temple would drop his horn! However, I am glad that the Tribune was brave enough to endorse the President. » Posted By SallyT On October 19, 2012 @ 2:53 pm KQ, Mrs. Romney is no innocent bystander either. If they were in the White House, I think they would sell the country for a buck and that includes the House itself. Besides the White House probably isn’t good enough for them to live in. After all it doesn’t have a car elevator. I would hate to be one of the hired help there, too. Can you imagine how they would be treated by these guys that feel so entitled. » Posted By SallyT On October 18, 2012 @ 2:28 pm Mitt Romney’s Bailout Bonanza Mitt Romney’s opposition to the auto bailout has haunted him on the campaign trail, especially in Rust Belt states like Ohio. There, in September, the Obama campaign launched television ads blasting Romney’s November 2008 New York Times op-ed, “Let Detroit Go Bankrupt.” But Romney has done a good job of concealing, until now, the fact that he and his wife, Ann, personally gained at least $15.3 million from the bailout—and a few of Romney’s most important Wall Street donors made more than $4 billion. Their gains, and the Romneys’, were astronomical—more than 3,000 percent on their investment. http://www.thenation.com/article/170644/mitt-romneys-bailout-bonanza?rel=emailNation » Posted By SallyT On October 18, 2012 @ 1:44 pm I am having trouble with believing that women have moved to vote for Romney based on that 1st debate and that last night didn’t make them change their minds. Didn’t they listen to what was said and not the physical presentation of the words? Get real! Most women can’t be that stupid. Romney needed a “binder full” of women to find someone to hire because he didn’t know any capable women to handle a position in his cabinet. That means he doesn’t think there are any nor does he care to know women of talent and never bother to because he believes, as his religion teaches, that they belong at home raising as many babies as he feels they should have. If women are falling for this act of his, well, I am afraid that there are far too many women out there to fall victim to the Ted Bundy’s of the world. WAKE UP BITCHES! 😡 » Posted By SallyT On October 17, 2012 @ 2:30 pm I can end the night on that, Kes. » Posted By SallyT On October 16, 2012 @ 9:28 pm FROM BIG BIRD TO BIG OIL That was something. After all the speculation, speeches, and spin, President Obama and Mitt Romney shared the presidential debate stage tonight. And on question after question, both candidates kept bringing their answers back to America’s energy future. For millions of Americans, this debate was their first chance to find out where the candidates really stand on some of the biggest issues facing our country — including subsidies for Big Oil and Big Coal. And tonight, the candidates gave voters something to think about. We want to know what you thought the most important moment was. Check out the top quotes below and cast your vote by sharing the best — or worst — on Facebook and Twitter. During tonight’s debate, the candidates couldn’t have been more different. Mitt Romney never missed an opportunity to attack clean energy, while President Obama repeatedly called for the elimination of Big Oil’s big tax breaks. While this was an eye-opening debate for many, some Americans missed it — and the fossil fuel companies that have already spent millions to push their agenda are guaranteed to try and spend more to change the subject. So make sure your friends and family get the message. Share the big moments from tonight’s debate on your social networks, so everyone can see where Mitt Romney and President Obama really stand on protecting our environment and the health of our communities and families.

It is self funded and even contributes to PBS itself. The following is from Wikipedia: Shortly after creating Sesame Street, its producers developed what came to be called “the CTW model” (named for the show’s production company, The Children’s Television Workshop), a system of television show planning, production, and evaluation based on collaborations between producers, writers, educators, and researchers. The show was initially funded by government and private foundations but has become somewhat self-supporting due to revenues from licensing arrangements, international sales, and other media. By 2006, there were independently produced versions, or “co-productions”, of Sesame Street broadcast in twenty countries. In 2001 there were over 120 million viewers of various international versions of Sesame Street, and by the show’s 40th anniversary in 2009, it was broadcast in more than 140 countries. » Posted By SallyT On October 4, 2012 @ 9:59 pm LOL Oh, Choicelady, is there enough paint to accomplish that???? » Posted By SallyT On September 21, 2012 @ 7:25 pm [img]http://0.tqn.com/d/politicalhumor/1/7/0/k/4/Romney-Flip-Flopitis.jpg[/img] » Posted By SallyT On September 21, 2012 @ 3:19 pm Patsy, I think he is just about to go into the tanning booth. He asked for a tan and a spray on suit. » Posted By SallyT On September 21, 2012 @ 3:18 pm [img]http://media.caglecartoons.com/media/cartoons/10/2012/09/20/119021_600.jpg[/img] » Posted By SallyT On September 20, 2012 @ 10:51 pmComments Posted By SallyT
Singer, whom Fortune magazine calls a “passionate defender of the 1%,” has carved out a specialty investing in distressed firms and distressed nations, which he does by buying up their debt for pennies on the dollar and then demanding payment in full. This so-called “vulture investor” received $58 million on Peruvian debt that he snapped up for $11.4 million, and $90 million on Congolese debt that he bought for a mere $20 million. In the process, he’s built one of the largest private equity firms in the nation, and over decades he’s racked up an unusually high average return on investments of 14 percent.
Other GOP presidential hopefuls chased Singer’s endorsement, but Mitt chased Singer with his own checkbook, investing at least $1 million with Elliott through Ann Romney’s blind trust (it could be far more, but the Romneys have declined to disclose exactly how much). Along the way, Singer gained a reputation, according to Fortune, “for strong-arming his way to profit.” That is certainly what happened at Delphi.
Late last night I received this email from the Sierra Club that I am a member. I thought you might find interesting somethings they heard. I haven’t seen anyone talking about any of these today on MSM.
Mitt Romney on oil and gas permits on public lands: “I’ll double them.”
(Share this quote: Twitter / Facebook)
President Obama: “The oil industry gets $4 billion a year in corporate welfare. Why wouldn’t we want to eliminate that?”
(Share this quote: Twitter / Facebook)
Mitt Romney: “By the way, I like coal.”
(Share this quote: Twitter / Facebook)
President Obama: “We’ve got to look at the energy sources of the future, like wind and solar.”
(Share this quote: Twitter / Facebook)
Now that the debate is over, millions of Americans have finally seen for themselves how President Obama’s and Mitt Romney’s plans for our environment and our energy future stack up. Now they understand what you and I have known for a long time: In this race, only one candidate has a record and a plan that takes the threats posed by big polluters and runaway climate disruption seriously.
