Displaying 931 To 960 Of 7,446 Comments Weekend Music Thread – Back to School I just watched this movie about a week ago. I had never seen it. I remember my brother and his friends talking about this one and Blackboard Jungle but I had never seen them. A&E had a Sidney Poitier fest and I watched both. Very interesting. But I love this song. » Posted By SueInCa On August 26, 2012 @ 3:32 pm The Mitt Romney School of Comedy Nor do I Kalima except for Republicans and Evangelicals then Maher and I think almost identical. But I despise HP even more than I do Maher. » Posted By SueInCa On August 24, 2012 @ 7:04 pm Kalima the one thing they cannot abide? There is a black man in a white house. IMHO Obama is the bigger man, bigger than all of them. Despite their vitriol he has remained silent because I think he knows if he responds then he will be the angry black man in that white house. The bigger reason is he is a good honest decent man unlike many of them. This country deserves better than the current crop of republicans or should I say people who call themselves republican. I do not recognize many true republicans in the bunch. Bill Maher put out a good piece on HP today. If you can stomach going there to read it,here it is. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bill-maher/todd-akin-republicans_b_1826617.html I especially like this part: “Or as it’s known on Capitol Hill, supply-side economics. Remember that magic beans theory? That you actually bring in more revenue by bringing in less? Ronald Reagan believed it. But at least back in the ’80s it was new. The thing is, we tried it, and it doesn’t work. Yet, Paul Ryan, who every shit-for-brains pundit in America keeps telling us is a “serious” guy, still believes in the supply-side theory. All the Republicans do. They all believe in something that both science and history have shown to be pure fantasy. The symbol for their party shouldn’t be an elephant — it should be a unicorn.” » Posted By SueInCa On August 24, 2012 @ 6:29 pm Adlib When I started reading this I thought “WTH has Adlib changed teams?” But I knew I had to read further because no way would that happen. Mittnocchio is a joke. He is not fit to lick President Obama’s boots. Have you ever seen a person who has been so persecuted and kept his cool? Been told he is UnAmerican, Born in Kenya, Is a Muslim, Doesn’t understand America…well you get the jist. I don’t know any other man who could take all of that and remained positive. But Obama has and that is the job of a Leader – to be above the fray. Personally I think the right is trying to incite a race riot. But that is just me. » Posted By SueInCa On August 24, 2012 @ 1:42 pm No Matter what Democrats Think the Presidential Race is a Toss Up Because of the Big Lies I agree with you. I think it was a ruse to raise money. I heard just yesterday the opposite. THAT is why I do not put alot of weight in polls so far out from election day. » Posted By SueInCa On August 24, 2012 @ 1:44 pm Lifelong Republican Leaves Party I not only tweeted it but I also posted to my FB page. There I have over 200 friends so it will get good exposure. I will also send this in an email. The blogger has it 100% right and I wish more people would come to this conclusion because he has put his finger on at least part of the problem. Thanks Kquark for posting this here. Now I will go email it as well. » Posted By SueInCa On August 20, 2012 @ 5:52 pm 17 Ryan Factoids – unlike Eddie Munster, really scary Bourne I pointed out to my husband last night that these were built well. We hear very little and they built the units so stairs are to stairs. No upstairs or downstairs areas are true common walls. I thought it was a brilliant design. Our bedrooms are on our neighbor’s stair wall and vice versa for our neighbors on the left. Never seen that done but it was a brilliant architectural design. » Posted By SueInCa On August 14, 2012 @ 4:24 pm Bourne My sister loved them too in fact every few years she goes as Lily Munster for Halloween. She is a great seamstress and a hair and makeup stylist so she made a very realistic costume and her makeup and her hair are eerily similar to Lily. Her husband is real tall and he goes as Herman. Too cute they are 🙂 » Posted By SueInCa On August 14, 2012 @ 12:17 pm Murph I was talking to a friend online this morning about Ryan and his SS and grants for college after his dad died and she brought a really good point I don’t think I have heard anyone else bring up. “When reading where Ryan benefitted from SS benefits when his father passed it sickened me. I think people with a lot of money should not rely on that. I remember when it was reported that Johnny Carson filed for SS literally made me sick. They don’t need it, leave it in the kitty for those who do. Now Ryan wants to take that away from poor kids who lose their father. SICK” She has a really good point and one that will hit home to younger families in the event of the death of the breadwinner. He literally wants to take food and shelter out of the mouth and hands of young kids. Shame…… » Posted By SueInCa On August 14, 2012 @ 12:13 pm Still in Benicia. We lucked into a Fannie Mae foreclosure that was selling for half it’s price in 2008. It is a townhome with almost 1500 sq ft. We really wanted to stay in Benicia but were looking in Vallejo too. This came up we put in an offer and within a week it was accepted. We had bid on other homes and did not get them but I know now this home was waiting for us to find it. Actually we had looked through the windows a couple months ago but when we looked it up online it had been withdrawn from the market so we would have tried to buy it then too. » Posted By SueInCa On August 14, 2012 @ 12:08 pm Hey Bourne I am just back on PP today. I have been here a bit but last week and up to today was all about moving into our new house and unpacking. My grandson is coming tomorrow and I wanted to get his room all ready. In the process, the rest of the house is almost totally in order now too. » Posted By SueInCa On August 14, 2012 @ 10:28 am Murp thanks for this. I supplied it to a friend of mine who is always on FB so she can post. She lives in NV and has a lot of republican friends she “converses” with, we all know how that goes. I also liked it on FB. Ryan really is bad for the campaign. I am not sure what was in those peoples’ heads when they chose him. Portman or even dull guy from Minnesota would have been better for the Romney campaign. This guy has very little experience except in government. » Posted By SueInCa On August 14, 2012 @ 10:00 am Ayn Rand’s Ryan and the Creed of the Elite Adlib Consider the people who are advising Romney. John Sununu the disgraced member of the Bush admin. Cofer Black spy extraordinaire. Eric Fehrnstrum the etch a sketch man. Andrea Saul if he lived in MA his wife would have had healthcare ins. Meg Whitman(on the side) a long time friend of the Romney’s and a colleague from Bain. All have issues in some way or another and the Obama team(like last time) stays on message. No Drama Obama is running again. » Posted By SueInCa On August 14, 2012 @ 10:20 am Murph Most people who are “allowed” to vote on the right would not care if Ryan took his ideas from Attila the Hun. They are just not that deep. Trying to get them to understand Ayn Rand mumbo jumbo would be like asking me to take a physics exam. Having said that, we all know the right picks and chooses what they want to believe. Despite the fact they praised Charles Colson to the hilt for his prison ministry they would dismiss his warnings on this because they are so desperate to be on top. BTW Charles Colson is dead. He passed a few months ago. I doubt they would even care about his leanings as is evident by their defending criminals in their midst. To the right a lie is not a lie because you can always say you are sorry later but how many people hear the apology as opposed to the many who hear the lie and believe it. As I stated on Adlib’s latest piece I am more worried about disenfranchisement of voters who should be able to vote. I wonder if there will be pitchforks and torches on election day when some voters learn they are no longer eligible. I posted an article from a Lubbock paper about a voter rights activist who found out she had been purged arbitrarily by Sec of State in NM. » Posted By SueInCa On August 12, 2012 @ 8:52 pm Saving Privatizing Ryan…As A Last Desperate Resort Another Ryan/Romney election season like Palin/McCain. Toward the end the base was looking at it that way too. » Posted By SueInCa On August 12, 2012 @ 8:56 pm I am more worried about voter suppression than Romney or Ryan. The reaction has not been all that comforting with this pic(at least with Indies). The voter suppression is now becoming blatant. I read where a voter drive activist was removed from the rolls in NM. Can you imagine? If she was removed who knows how many others without their knowledge. They will find out on election day? I cannot remember if she got a notice or not. I will try to find the article http://lubbockonline.com/filed-online/2012-08-11/177000-voters-purged-new-mexico-rolls » Posted By SueInCa On August 12, 2012 @ 4:26 pm Adlib I just posed that pic to FB and sent it to my two friends in Reno. One of them posted yesterday when she heard, Eddie and Herman Munster show. I like this one better. » Posted By SueInCa On August 12, 2012 @ 4:22 pm The Importance of Being Earnest about Releasing Tax Returns, Especially Romney [img]http://ametia.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/curiosity-sends-first-images-from-mars.jpg?w=300[/img] » Posted By SueInCa On August 8, 2012 @ 12:55 pm KQ I think alot of people will not even understand his tax returns. The rumor still going around is McCain looked at his returns and ran to Sarah Palin. I would more likely think McCain held a grudge on Romney and seeing the vetting document makes me think his positions were the main reason. The religious base would never have stood for him as VP. McCain could not accept Haggee’s endorsement but he found a good dominionist as his running mate. To get back to the tax returns, there are people within the Obama camp who would know how to read those returns. I don’t think CNN or Fox would be very astute in reviewing them but there are many other organizations who would do so, Think Progress, The Daily Beast, Bloomberg, Forbes all would be able to fairly quickly surmise what went on that he is hiding. I think it is part what you say but I also think he did not pay taxes for some years and may have evaded taxes with his offshore holdings. That is felony and he would be gone now. Perhaps he will come clean after the nomination. We have never had a candidate(to my knowledge) have to step down for criminal reasons but never say never. » Posted By SueInCa On August 7, 2012 @ 6:58 pm President X – Will Americans Really Elect a Man in Hiding? Figures I did see where whoever the author was was trying their best to assure people they heard what they say. » Posted By SueInCa On August 3, 2012 @ 11:08 am According to someone on Twitter tonight Dana Bash said she could back up Reid’s statement. I have been trying to get the video but it has not been released yet. Here is the word from Daily Kos » Posted By SueInCa On August 2, 2012 @ 8:24 pm Thanks this is the last move they will have to shovel me out of this house 🙂 » Posted By SueInCa On August 2, 2012 @ 7:59 pm Adlib I came from a family with a New Yorker Mother and a Southern Father. My mom was from a liberal family and my father was from a DixieCrat family. Genteel racists. My father saw how people treated his mother because she was a divorced woman(she was liberated before it was fashionable) and I think it really made him contemplate the evils of life. Consequently neither of my parents would have put up with any racism in our house. Our extended relationships bear out that ideal, Japanese, Spanish, Jewish and Black mates for 4 of us. And all grandchildren were the apples of their eye. So my dad is a pretty good example of coming out of it. » Posted By SueInCa On August 2, 2012 @ 7:39 pm You and I both. My thought is Obama will give that little chuckle and drive mitt into a frenzy. Knowledge alone will prove the difference. » Posted By SueInCa On August 2, 2012 @ 6:29 pm Questinia I have not heard that in years, how funny. » Posted By SueInCa On August 2, 2012 @ 6:04 pm Kalima We move in next Thursday. That is why I have not been around alot. Lots of last minute stuff and packing, oh my word the packing! » Posted By SueInCa On August 2, 2012 @ 6:03 pm Hi Kalima I hope you are right. But you know the uncertainty is precisely why we went ahead and bought another house. If the worst should happen, no one can take it away from us. I just cannot imagine another neo-con Bush rejects administration. » Posted By SueInCa On August 2, 2012 @ 5:52 pm Kalima I sure hope you are right. I will fight for Obama all the way through to the election and I hope people wise up prior to November 6. BTW isn’t it pretty difficult to piss of a Brit? All the ones I know are friendly and very funny people. I have a droll sense of humor as do the friends I know. » Posted By SueInCa On August 2, 2012 @ 5:37 pm I will have to open it with IE as my Mozilla does not show the scene. » Posted By SueInCa On August 2, 2012 @ 5:27 pm KT » Posted By SueInCa On August 2, 2012 @ 4:47 pmComments Posted By SueInCa

I thought that Maher’s movie was very tastefully done. He could have gotten carried away with the snark but he kept it to a dull roar. The fact I agree with him for the most part may have also had something to do with my three thumbs up 🙂
