Displaying 6,091 To 6,120 Of 7,446 Comments Blessed Are The Poor – But Not By Republicans Thanks WTS, the “slave labor” is another fetish of mine. It just infuriates me. When Kathy Lee was caught I thought we might have some change, but it was under the rug and let’s go on as usual. It happens here in the US with migrant workers as well. They bring up undocumented workers specifically to work for a pittance and the workers are so afraid of their status, they seldom speak out. » Posted By SueInCa On April 5, 2010 @ 9:30 am Thanks Kes. You are right and I could not have said it better. My husband belonged to the IBEW and that union does so much for their members. We now have a comfortable pension and healthcare for retirement, the union did that. My husband worked for 30 years for Pacific Gas and Electric and never once had to go on strike, the Union did that. The only grievance I have with unions is that some of their members keep their jobs w/o performing up to the same standards as other members. They do not have a true pay for performance, but then I come from a management position in the financial industry. It is the “dumbing down” of Americans that you speak about and the Right is only too happy to keep their voters like that so they do not have to answer the real policy or “scandal” questions. » Posted By SueInCa On April 5, 2010 @ 9:27 am Notice the uphill blip when Clinton was in office? His administration produced 23 million jobs. Of course the dot.com bubble had something to do with that. » Posted By SueInCa On April 4, 2010 @ 10:04 pm A Rose Is a Rose Is a Rose … Cognitive Dissonance, Much? Upgraded to a 7.2 » Posted By SueInCa On April 4, 2010 @ 5:07 pm Probably so KQ but as far as the economy goes, it was more important to see HCR through. DADT should never have been an issue ever. And I am not sure DOMA will ever be repealed. It was put in place by a reptile controlled congress that was full of homophobes. » Posted By SueInCa On April 4, 2010 @ 5:05 pm Wow amazing resemblance. Funny I never once thought that. I knew he was the “quiet, thoughtful, scholarly type” and that is exactly what I voted for. » Posted By SueInCa On April 4, 2010 @ 4:18 pm No, we live up north in an “earthquake free” zone. We live in Rocklin about 15 miles from Sacramento. There was a small one over in lake county ca(near the coast of medocino though. I have been in enough, I was in the Joshua Tree one back in 92, that was scary. Aftershocks for days » Posted By SueInCa On April 4, 2010 @ 4:14 pm Nellie » Posted By SueInCa On April 4, 2010 @ 4:07 pm Let’s face it, for the media the man is boring. He has a wife and two kids he adores, he thinks before he speaks, he doesn’t get up and walk out on a reporter(and I use that term very loosely) when said “reporter” interrupts him at least 15 times during just his last answer. There is no hint of scandal in the White House for reporters and politicians to grab at, Bo is not biting any reporters, the president takes his “wife” out for date nights and doesn’t forget the people on main street, like his predecessor…. “This is an impressive crowd — the haves and the have mores. Some people call you the elite — I call you my base.” –at the 2000 Al Smith dinner If you look at the incredible things he has done in just a little over a year, most of what he promised in his campaign has come to pass. I listened, I heard and the President is following the agenda I heard almost to the letter. The only disappointment is Guatanemo and Torture Trials but he never promised the latter and I think he will find a way to close Guantanemo. » Posted By SueInCa On April 4, 2010 @ 4:02 pm That was my thought on Cheney as well. You know the reason Chavez and Bush had the falling out? Bush had tried to move in on the oil in Bolivia, I think, and Chavez offered to help the country. After that Chavezz was persona non grata. I am almost certain it is Bolivia but it could be another nation down there. Sean Penn also said that when he went to Haiti, both Fidel and Chavez managed to get them medical and food supplies without all the red tape and he said they were the first to offer help. so Chavez was made the devil, as usual, because he screwed the Bushes. Just like everyone here that visited Paris after Iraq and the debacle with the French could not figure out why the French were hostile. It would not be because our congress and President made fools of them now could it? » Posted By SueInCa On April 5, 2010 @ 8:27 pm BTW, I missed that Imadinnerjacket vid. Just watched it and prior to the pic action, I was saying WTF? Who is this guy? They have a clone of the Shrub in office. Who is Darth Cheney? » Posted By SueInCa On April 4, 2010 @ 1:18 pm Khirad » Posted By SueInCa On April 4, 2010 @ 1:15 pm Another Big Nail in Democracy’s Coffin Nevada has one too……… » Posted By SueInCa On April 3, 2010 @ 8:15 pm This sounds mostly like internal/ownership/stockholder issues. The thing about corporations is no one person is really responsible for the company. That is why people incorporate, because when things go wrong, their personal fortunes are safe. As far as I am aware if an individual sues a corp(except shareholder/ownership) issues the trial takes place in the jurisdiction where the incident ocurred. » Posted By SueInCa On April 3, 2010 @ 8:12 pm The Skeksis are in the Vatican! Good post Pepe and I can feel your anguish. I am not making any kind of excuse for these men, but they are old. Perhaps all the years in the church has turned them stale as well. They fall into all of the pomp and circumstance of the church’s history and to admit, for them, that the church is now tainted is probably quite too much. So instead they hide the problems. It is like a person who lies. They, at first, think it is just a little white lie, then it gets bigger and bigger rolling downhill until it hits them like a bunch of bowling pins. That is what has happened today. These guys have been hit hard and they are lashing out. No matter that they deserve what they are getting, they are so steeped in their ways they cannot see the way out of the forest they have built around them. The problem with what they did is if they had come out with the first incidence and taken charge, they would not be in the position they are today. Take a look at the school in Massachusetts. That is by no means the first child who has been the subject of bullying in school in fact not the first in Massachusetts that had a tragic ending, and BOE’s and administrators at schools have been getting away with their lack of followup for years. This young girl was the tipping point for the schools same as the piece in the NYT was the tipping point for the Catholic Church. But what both have to admit is it was not the DA or the NYT who perpetuated the problem, they have to look within themselves and they have to be honest. Hopefully in these cases the people brought in to replace them will have learned a valuable lesson and take steps to make sure it never happens again. But, if it does happen again, they need to act now, not when they are caught by a DA or the NYT. I am sure the church will survive this, but if they do not do the right thing, perhaps the people in the congregations will rise up and demand the right thing. Perhaps that is what the church needs, for their congregants to force the right thing on them and say Never Again. » Posted By SueInCa On April 3, 2010 @ 7:54 pm Planet Music Night Dedicated to Fools He shares the TV with my daughter and he plays Wii so if he is on Wii, I keep the pc LOL. Don’t want to leave you alone, so I will try to make it for awhile anyway » Posted By SueInCa On April 2, 2010 @ 6:49 pm Ricky was the bomb! » Posted By SueInCa On April 2, 2010 @ 6:37 pm Might pop in and out, my grandson is here and we share so he can watch his Pokeman vids » Posted By SueInCa On April 2, 2010 @ 6:35 pm I would have taken used, from 4th grade I had awhile to go b4 marrying him, I would expect he was “tainted” LOL » Posted By SueInCa On April 2, 2010 @ 6:30 pm Cher » Posted By SueInCa On April 2, 2010 @ 6:28 pm Not sure if I can make it either, but have a good one just in case. » Posted By SueInCa On April 2, 2010 @ 6:09 pm The shows sometimes ended up with him singing like this. I was going to marry him when I grew up, at least that is what my 4th grade self told everyone. » Posted By SueInCa On April 2, 2010 @ 6:07 pm There was a special dance that came out with that song, but I had a hard time doing it correctly. » Posted By SueInCa On April 2, 2010 @ 6:05 pm Teabonics: A Perfect Day for Fools One and the same, apparently Tancredo cannot read or see properly or he never would have said that. Stupid Stupid Man » Posted By SueInCa On April 1, 2010 @ 7:12 pm Well, I guess Tancredo was right then, he just got the wrong voters: “People who could not even spell the word ‘vote’ or say it in English put a committed socialist ideologue in the White House,” Tancredo said during a speech, according to the Cleveland Leader. Tancredo also said Obama won because “we do not have a civics, literacy test before people can vote.” » Posted By SueInCa On April 1, 2010 @ 3:14 pm Respect are country – speak english We don;t care if you cannot spell it right, just speak it. » Posted By SueInCa On April 1, 2010 @ 2:55 pm Low information voters again. It is amazing how uninformed these people are, they are a joke. In a way I kind of feel sorry for them, they are a comedian’s dream. » Posted By SueInCa On April 1, 2010 @ 2:32 pm A republican was sitting at his campaign headquarters watching the election results when the phone rang. “Ma,” he said, “the results are in. I won the election!” “Honestly?” The politician’s smiled faded. “Aw, heck, Ma, why bring that up at a time like this?” » Posted By SueInCa On April 1, 2010 @ 11:49 am Very good answer Cher. I cheated you did not. » Posted By SueInCa On April 1, 2010 @ 11:30 am Patsy FOUR HUNDRED AND SIXTY-TWO… » Posted By SueInCa On April 1, 2010 @ 11:29 amComments Posted By SueInCa
Did you feel the earthquake? The epicenter was just over the border in baha but it was a 6.9, felt in San Diego
Spectacular once again. You have a way of writing that helps the laywoman(me) to understand the Persian culture. Thanks again for another wonderful piece.
I was a good girl, David was married!
He listened intently, and after a moment his face brightened. When he hung up, he immediately turned to his mother to tell her the good news.
