Of course that would be a whole bunch of evangelicals. Or maybe a few clones of Hitler have been spawned in those states. These attacks on certain races and genders are getting downright scary to me. They need to read It Can’t Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis. It might be a frightening mirror image for them to look at. » Posted By SueInCa On April 21, 2010 @ 6:26 pm Or it just might out all the good little republican women and girls getting abortions. I can see how in a small town that form would be a problem, some people talk even though they are not supposed to. I talked to an abortion clinic in Texas who give me info on a girl who used a stolen credit card for an abortion. I was shocked the clinic released the info to me, without me asking for it. I just told them it was a stolen card and she knew the family and told me it was his daughter. » Posted By SueInCa On April 21, 2010 @ 6:16 pm Actually that was Nixon. Penn Central was bailed out in 71. Then the Regional Rail Reorganization ACt came along in 73 basically forming » Posted By SueInCa On April 21, 2010 @ 6:08 pm Cher, my husband is actually 3rd generation latino and he is fine with it. He does not like the illegal aspect but if they are here and making a life he is ok with it. » Posted By SueInCa On April 21, 2010 @ 6:02 pm Cher, no I did not see it. I might take a peek. Everytime I go there I get pissed LOL » Posted By SueInCa On April 21, 2010 @ 5:45 pm The only reason repigs don’t want to tackle immigration is they are well aware it is a vote magnet for the dems. I had forgotten about Reagans amnesty program. I do remember the foot on american soil for the cubans though. » Posted By SueInCa On April 21, 2010 @ 5:43 pm I was a Risk Manager for Wells for 5 years and an AVP in Account Management for five years. Then I went to a smaller bank and worked risk for branch operations. I did bank robberies and all risk associated with the bank. So yes, I worked with FBI and Secret Service for about 11 years. I was a Fraud investigator and manager for a bank on the credit card side prior to Wells for 6 years. Then I spent the last five years at Visa USA as Director for project management and program management for the US Region. » Posted By SueInCa On April 21, 2010 @ 5:39 pm I thought it was Carter. I know he established the “foot on sand” policy for Cubans. » Posted By SueInCa On April 21, 2010 @ 5:25 pm I had heard that yesterday. If Amnesty is a part of the bill, it does need to have high qualifications. If not, we will never stop the flow over the border, I am not sure even that will stop it. Until Mexico starts to take care of their people, we are always going to have this issue. There is not the same issue with Canada because their population is well taken care of and they are allowed to come on visas issued by a lottery system. Most who apply get the visa because Canadians are happy where they are. » Posted By SueInCa On April 21, 2010 @ 5:24 pm Cher he is saying and doing what he is doing because he knows immigration reform is a vote generator for the Dems. He is hoping like hell it is dropped. Schumer needs to call him on his transparent plan to stop votes in November. » Posted By SueInCa On April 21, 2010 @ 5:03 pm Javaz But I feel the same as you do. I worked for WFB for 10 years and when I think how strict our lending policy was back then, I can only guess that the management team from Norwest Bank did not have the same principles. I would like to think if WFB was still WFB owned and managed as I knew it, they might have stayed out of this mess but I cannot say for sure. The idea you only have to be able to guarantee a mortgage for 90 days is a pretty powerful incentive to sell junk loans. » Posted By SueInCa On April 21, 2010 @ 4:59 pm Perhaps a spin around the old history newsreels will help your governor make up her mind. This is exactly how all tyrannical governments start. Anyone who does not believe these reich wing people are dangerous better wake up real soon. And that includes the evangelicals. » Posted By SueInCa On April 21, 2010 @ 4:37 pm I said right after HCR that they would take up immigration. The crowd on the mall the Sunday of the vote was not lost on any dem politician there. And they outnumbered the teabaggers by quite a few. Politicians know where their votes come from and it is not the fat old white teabagging party. » Posted By SueInCa On April 21, 2010 @ 4:34 pm That is pretty timely of you, I have a post in the works on just this hypocrisy with regard to problems in this country. » Posted By SueInCa On April 21, 2010 @ 4:32 pm Nice break to all the “bad” stuff going on, funny too. » Posted By SueInCa On April 21, 2010 @ 4:31 pm Kalima, thanks. I had my grandson this weekend and when he is here, I spend alot of one on one with him. We took him to the batting cages, to get pizza and to play some hoops. And I share the pc when he is here too! » Posted By SueInCa On April 19, 2010 @ 4:40 pm Some may have seen this before, I did last year but It does not hurt to run it again. Andrew M.. Manis is associate professor of history at Macon State College in Georgia and wrote this for an editorial in the Macon Telegraph. Andrew M. Manis: When Are WE Going to Get Over It? For much of the last forty years, ever since America “fixed” its race problem in the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts, we white people have been impatient with African Americans who continued to blame race for their difficulties. Often we have heard whites ask, “When are African Americans finally going to get over it? Now I want to ask: “When are we White Americans going to get over our ridiculous obsession with skin color? Recent reports that “Election Spurs Hundreds’ of Race Threats, Crimes” should frighten and infuriate every one of us.. Having grown up in “Bombingham,” Alabama in the 1960s, I remember overhearing an avalanche of comments about what many white classmates and their parents wanted to do to John and Bobby Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Eventually, as you may recall, in all three cases, someone decided to do more than “talk the talk.” Since our recent presidential election, to our eternal shame we are once again hearing the same reprehensible talk I remember from my boyhood. We white people have controlled political life in the disunited colonies and United States for some 400 years on this continent. Conservative whites have been in power 28 of the last 40 years. Even during the eight Clinton years, conservatives in Congress blocked most of his agenda and pulled him to the right. Yet never in that period did I read any headlines suggesting that anyone was calling for the assassinations of presidents Nixon, Ford, Reagan, or either of the Bushes. Criticize them, yes. Call for their impeachment, perhaps. But there we re no bounties on their heads. And even when someone did try to kill Ronald Reagan, the perpetrator was non-political mental case who wanted merely to impress Jody Foster. But elect a liberal who happens to be Black and we’re back in the sixties again. At this point in our history, we should be proud that we’ve proven what conservatives are always saying — that in America anything is possible, EVEN electing a black man as president. But instead we now hear that school children from Maine to California are talking about wanting to “assassinate Obama.” Fighting the urge to throw up, I can only ask, “How long?” How long before we white people realize we can’t make our nation, much less the whole world, look like us? How long until we white people can – once and for all – get over this hell-conceived preoccupation with skin color? How long until we white people get over the demonic conviction that white skin makes us superior? How long before we white people get over our bitter resentments about being demoted to the status of equality with non-whites? How long before we get over our expectations that we should be at the head of the line merely because of our white skin? How long until we white people end our silence and call out our peers when they share the latest racist jokes in the privacy of our white-only conversations? I believe in free speech, but how long until we white people start making racist loudmouths as socially uncomfortable as we do flag burners? How long until we white people will stop insisting that b lacks exercise personal responsibility, build strong families, educate themselves enough to edit the Harvard Law Review, and work hard enough to become President of the United States, only to threaten to assassinate them when they do? How long before we starting “living out the true meaning” of our creeds, both civil and religious, that all men and women are created equal and that “red, brown, yellow, black and white” all are precious in God’s sight? Until this past November 4, I didn’t believe this country would ever elect an African American to the presidency. I still don’t believe I’ll live long enough to see us white people get over our racism problem. But here’s my three-point plan: First, everyday that Barack Obama lives in the White House that Black Slaves Built, I’m going to pray that God (and the Secret Service) will protect him and his family from us white people. Second, I’m going to report to the FBI any white person I overhear saying, in seriousness or in jest, anything of a threatening nature about President Obama. Third, I’m going to pray to live long enough to see America surprise the world once again, when white people can “in spirit and in truth” sing of our damnable color prejudice, “We HAVE overcome.” » Posted By SueInCa On April 19, 2010 @ 4:37 pm Hey Bito great to hear from you. » Posted By SueInCa On April 19, 2010 @ 4:19 pm Hey I loved Philly stayed in South Town with a bunch of people from work, then to NJ, then to DE and finally into MD and VA. Wild week. » Posted By SueInCa On April 17, 2010 @ 10:30 pm Interesting story on the Kock family and their ties to Stalin http://www.alternet.org/economy/146504/the_roots_of_stalin_in_the_tea_party_movement » Posted By SueInCa On April 17, 2010 @ 10:26 pm FINALLY, Goldman Sachs has been charged with fraud in a civil investigation by the SEC. Hopefully there will be more to come, although I don’t think this charge will amount to much more than a fine, if that. http://losangelesnewstoday.com/headlines-subprime-crisis-goldman-sachs-charged-with-fraud/924028 » Posted By SueInCa On April 16, 2010 @ 12:07 pm Here in CA we obtain a death certificate from the county. » Posted By SueInCa On April 15, 2010 @ 8:59 pm There is always a Nurse Ratchett hanging out there somewhere….I have never met her, but I am sure there are some. » Posted By SueInCa On April 15, 2010 @ 8:56 pm KQ Kes » Posted By SueInCa On April 15, 2010 @ 7:38 pm Bito, so good to hear from you. No need to say much, a pop in to say just Hi is good enough. Keeping you in my thoughts. » Posted By SueInCa On April 15, 2010 @ 10:33 am Two very good articles on the RR and their theocratic surge to take back control of our democracy which, of course, they want to change to a theocracy. http://www.alternet.org/belief/146438/the_return_of_christian_terrorism » Posted By SueInCa On April 15, 2010 @ 10:21 amComments Posted By SueInCa
You are having one hellava good vacation. Did you go through Harper’s Ferry back to Virginia? Where are you staying tonite? And did you drive by Camp David? When I went to Lancaster with my friend, he took me by Camp David.
When I visited Lancanster Co I was a bit taken aback by the Amish not believing in electrical new fangled contraptions, yet they have no problem hosting a movie theatre and stores to sell movie tickets and souveniers. I thought that was pretty hypocritical.

Some of the stories I could tell you about employee fraud would blow you away. It was real and it was frequent.
A little help or maybe some hefty fines for the major corp farms and corporations would help too. If they were not hiring them for labor, they would not be coming across the border. And for alot AZ is just the crossing point, from there they go with the runners to CA, Idaho, Nevada, maybe even more places. ICE does not seem very effective at this point, but then I am not privy to what they are up against, I can only guess.
There is no denying the fact that Citi, BofA and JPMorganChase were in there trying to get a piece of that pie. However Wells was the one who surprised everybody. Henry Paulson was in the process of making a deal for Citi to buy Wachovia for next to nothing and WFB swooped in and entered a bigger bid for the bank. Without looking like he was trying to hand Citi the deal of the century(which he was) Paulson could do nothing about it, they either had to have Citi bid higher or lose and Citi was not going to bid higher they wanted it for nothing.

That is very good advice. I never went to grad school but I would think taking extra classes, just as excelling in undergrad work would be a big help. Sometimes, too, it is based on legacy and if slots run out, no amount of prep will get you in but your advice is very good.
I know how you and he are feeling right now. My daughter had a similar problem but she went back to teaching for another year and the next application she was accepted. It delayed her one year but she says she had a chance to grow a bit more as well.
