Displaying 181 To 210 Of 485 Comments Survivorman Circa 2009: Somewhere in NE Georgia Hospital My mother was an RN. I grew up around the health care profession, and I have to say it was a sobering thing to experience even as a child! She frequently dealt with oncology patients in home health. Sadder sights I have yet to see up close like that again. You mentioned pain medication. After growing up seeing people suffer and noticing that some doctors are more caring about that suffering than others, I’ve made sure since then to find merciful doctors whenever possible. I’m not too keen on taking more meds given how many I already take in my daily life, but it’s very comforting to know that if I should truly need them they will be there. Ah, Chick-fil-A! 🙂 Hehe. I worked for them in college. Their food is really pretty good. I even have some secret recipes I acquired that I cook occasionally since they don’t have many locations in Kansas I’m afraid, which is ironic since it’s a Christian owned company. KQ, you have my email addy. By all means write me to talk about anything if you like, especially if it will help you feel more connected to the world outside the walls of your hospital room. If you have an ftp site I would be happy to upload some audio books for you to listen to when you need a change of pace from CNN. I presume you’ve got a laptop with you. So, remember that MSNBC can be watched from their website. It’s a great way to keep up with KO and RM if you miss them in the evenings. You remain in my thoughts. 🙂 hugs2u » Posted By Scheherazade On December 23, 2009 @ 4:25 am Alabama House Democrat Planning to Join the GOP Awww. *MEGA GROUP HUGS* 😀 » Posted By Scheherazade On December 22, 2009 @ 1:36 pm I won’t complain if you say more, but if you keep offering such high praise I’m likely to start crying. I’m very touched. » Posted By Scheherazade On December 22, 2009 @ 1:26 pm Thank you for that, Cher. 🙂 It means a lot to me. » Posted By Scheherazade On December 22, 2009 @ 1:18 pm They are basically. I just wanted to point out that he’s a Blue Dog so that the reason behind his defection to the GOP becomes more clear. Still, you’re right. Blue Dogs are basically no different than Republicans generally speaking. Parker’s voting record shows that his leaving the party is no real loss. In short: he will not be running as a Democrat in the 2010 midterms. Now he will be running as a Republican. » Posted By Scheherazade On December 22, 2009 @ 12:17 pm No need to apologize. 🙂 Something that good needs to be posted over and over! I’m very serious about people needing to print, email, and show your article to everyone they can! » Posted By Scheherazade On December 22, 2009 @ 1:34 pm Sorry if this seems OT, but in some of the research I’ve been doing a thought occurred to me that I can’t get out of my mind. So I thought I would ask here if that’s okay. Does anyone know who Glenn Greenwald backed in 2008? As hard as he’s been on this administration I’ve been wondering that, but can’t seem to remember if he even endorsed anybody. The reason I’ve wondered is because he and some people on FDL have been leading the charge against this administration, and Arianna is following along too. » Posted By Scheherazade On December 23, 2009 @ 11:45 am True! » Posted By Scheherazade On December 23, 2009 @ 11:41 am Hehe. I don’t know, but if I could fan you I sure would. » Posted By Scheherazade On December 23, 2009 @ 11:40 am Yes! That’s very true. Good call. » Posted By Scheherazade On December 23, 2009 @ 11:40 am Hello abby. hugs2u » Posted By Scheherazade On December 23, 2009 @ 11:14 am I just realized I mentioned LexisNexis without explaining what it is. For those of you who might not be familiar with LexisNexis here’s some info. LexisNexis (often called “Lexis” or “Nexis” by customers), a division of Reed Elsevier, offers a widely used, searchable, and identically named archive of content from newspapers, magazines, legal documents and other printed sources. LexisNexis describes itself as the “world » Posted By Scheherazade On December 23, 2009 @ 11:13 am I’m not sure what operating system you’re using, but you could make a folder where you keep links to those URLs. Within that folder you could further organize things by date, subject, or whatever. That would be my advice for the time being. As for comparing information, I would suggest doing three things: 1) Contact DailyKOS. They’ve got tons of people who would be ready, willing, and able to search lexisnexis for you and help you compile a list of news sources that have covered those stories. At the very least they would be able to point you in the right direction. You can contact them via this link http://dailykos.com/contactus Also, you can blog about it via your own account. I personally would consider doing both. 2) Contact Media Matters for America. You can even call them if you like. Media Matters for America You can also email them via the forum on this link http://mediamatters.org/p/contact_us Just make sure you explain what you’re doing to them. They are interested in debunking lies, but they may not have Huffy on their radar screen as much as other blog sites such as Drudge. Contacting them will further bring things to their attention, and offering a list of links to disinformation and spin would likely be interesting to them, especially if they knew Arianna started the website with help from the right wing. 3) Don’t look everywhere when you’re doing your research. Check the sources that HP references in the articles, but beyond that I would stick to the Associated Press, Reuters, the New York Times, the LA Times, Washington Post, BBC, NPR, and PBS. I’d try not to venture out beyond them too much. Those are mainstream sources and are the best to choose from IMO. » Posted By Scheherazade On December 23, 2009 @ 11:05 am OMG! 🙁 I’m so sorry, sweetie. Your post fills me with such sadness for you. Know that every tear I shed now is a testament to my hope that you will find comfort in this time when you should be expecting the joys of the holidays. I dearly hope that her doctors are wrong, and that she does pull through. » Posted By Scheherazade On December 23, 2009 @ 9:51 am I expect he’s going to use the bill as a way to position himself in a way that shows that he got HCR passed. Judging by the dialogue and message from the White House I think its passing will be something that Dems can campaign on in the midterms. Also, I’ve been doing some research on the Wall Street thing. It seems he’s trying a different angle. It’s not one with which I personally agree, but there is a method to it. However, he is moving towards the center more so than some of us would like. It seems like there are people who didn’t expect it. I’m not all that surprised really, but people like Glen Greenwald and Arianna seem to be furious about it and will do whatever they can to put him in a bad light whether he deserves it or not. That said, Greenwald is not someone to ignore. He’s very sharp and usually follows what’s going on with amazing clarity, but even he isn’t above framing things in his own world view. I do agree with your point. Obama needs to take a more aggressive stance on things. That way he will exude more confidence and a sense that he is leading more. With the midterms coming up next year I expect that the White House will move more towards a “campaign mode” given that it will be expected and needed in order for Dems to keep control of Congress. » Posted By Scheherazade On December 22, 2009 @ 1:54 pm Awesome! » Posted By Scheherazade On December 22, 2009 @ 1:46 pm You’re welcome. 🙂 » Posted By Scheherazade On December 22, 2009 @ 1:27 pm That’s not my comment. 😉 Although, I did leave a comment for her. Hehe. » Posted By Scheherazade On December 22, 2009 @ 10:21 am Hawt! 🙂 Just subscribed. » Posted By Scheherazade On December 22, 2009 @ 9:53 am OT sort of Is there a PlanetPOV channel on youtube? If not that might be a good idea! 🙂 It might also be helpful for things like this! yep yep! » Posted By Scheherazade On December 22, 2009 @ 9:42 am I say we flood their channel with comments since that’s one place they can’t remove our comments! » Posted By Scheherazade On December 22, 2009 @ 9:37 am http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udJ0SVkuK44 Read the comments!
LISANDIVER » Posted By Scheherazade On December 22, 2009 @ 9:36 am WARNING: this video is for mature audiences only… Viewer discretion is advised! 😉
It might be better if I just link it. 😛 » Posted By Scheherazade On December 22, 2009 @ 9:33 am Aye, and it’s going to take continual effort. So this should be part of our constant efforts to move things in a more positive direction » Posted By Scheherazade On December 22, 2009 @ 9:31 am 😀 » Posted By Scheherazade On December 22, 2009 @ 9:27 am We should do both and more besides! 😉 » Posted By Scheherazade On December 22, 2009 @ 9:25 am Cher’s article has lit a fire! 😀 This is awesome! » Posted By Scheherazade On December 22, 2009 @ 9:09 am I can’t take credit for this. So all glory to VolvoBirkenstocks for the following:
We know what is important to the social-climbing, money-grubbing Scarianna: » Posted By Scheherazade On December 22, 2009 @ 9:02 am I hadn’t thought about this one – Cenk Uygur, The Young Turks 🙂 good call! » Posted By Scheherazade On December 22, 2009 @ 8:56 am Is this a decent start for a list of places? http://airamerica.com/ The list is from my bookmarks. 😉 So forgive me if there is something in there that shouldn’t be. Hehe. Also, any local or national newspapers would be happy to see HP knocked down a notch or two. So add http://www.washingtonpost.com/ etc etc » Posted By Scheherazade On December 22, 2009 @ 8:32 amComments Posted By Scheherazade
