I know I saw Anschutz in relation to Comcast on Wiki and now it is gone. » Posted By SueInCa On July 5, 2012 @ 6:42 pm Actually I just went to see what the deal is and Anshutz is no longer listed on Comcast’s wiki page but it also says there is a discrepancy in the info about Comcast. Neither Anschutz or Clear Channel is mentioned. » Posted By SueInCa On July 5, 2012 @ 6:39 pm Comcast is owned by Philip Anschutz and Comcast used to own a portion of clear channel and may still. Bain purchased another portion of the market they held. Anschutz is a Domimionist » Posted By SueInCa On July 5, 2012 @ 5:58 pm Basically to translate into plain language it is showing you how after Bain took over and milked the company dry they had to file BK. The BK is all on Ampad because Bain never put out any of their own dough after the initial purchase. All of the money was borrowed against Ampad’s assets. Also if you look at the timeline it shows just how quickly the stock fell after the initial IPO. By this time Bain had taken well over 70 million dollars from Ampad » Posted By SueInCa On July 5, 2012 @ 5:42 pm From People For the American Way It’s been a roller coaster of a ride but, today, by a vote of 24-11, the California Senate passed Assembly Joint Resolution 22 calling on Congress to amend the Constitution to overturn the Supreme Court’s disastrous decision in Citizens United v. FEC. Congratulations and THANK YOU — thousands of California PFAW supporters took action to make today’s victory a reality and your efforts made a huge difference. With today’s passage of AJR 22, the California state legislature joins those of five other states and 30 California localities that have passed similar resolutions to help get the corrupting influence of unlimited corporate and special interest money out of elections. Assemblymember Bob Wieckowski, who introduced AJR 22, said, “Today’s vote sends a clear message that California rejects this misguided ruling made by the conservative activists on the Supreme Court.” We have a long way to go, but today’s vote marks a pivotal moment in our movement to amend the Constitution and end the Citizens United era of Super PACs. The endorsement of our efforts by the nation’s largest state is a huge victory — cause for celebration as well as reenergizing our ongoing efforts. Thank you for all you do. I just received this email » Posted By SueInCa On July 5, 2012 @ 5:33 pm If you click on the link and then click on the graphic it will enlarge. Get out those reading glasses 🙂 » Posted By SueInCa On July 5, 2012 @ 4:19 pm KT Nor would the average person in this country. The only reason I know is I read The Buyout of America. I learned from that book to always check the ownership chain of a company, especially if they are facing financial troubles. Inevitably they will have been taken over by a PE firm. I highly recommend the book. The author, Josh Kosman is very accessible. He has returned every single email I have ever sent him. In turn I recommend his book all over the place. » Posted By SueInCa On July 5, 2012 @ 4:13 pm Hey the graphic showed in my comment. I don’t know how that was accomplished but all right then » Posted By SueInCa On July 5, 2012 @ 3:47 pm Yes I knew that KT, you should have asked me 🙂 » Posted By SueInCa On July 5, 2012 @ 3:45 pm CL Perhaps it started in the roaring 20’s. People living high on hog on virtual money until one day it was just gone. A period of austerity then a war to boost up the economy again. A bubble and despite what people want you to think US citizens were not in a big hurry to get into that war. Why would they when they could make money off of other’s misery? The lend-lease program brought up production in this country to supply Russia and Britain against Germany. Hitler was satan but the reluctance in this country to stand up and be counted should be illuminating, in retrospect, of this country’s citizens refusing to face reality. People knew what was going on, or they should have if they read any news or paid attention to newsreels yet the people did not want to help. There were a lot of anti-semites both in the population and in government which might explain some of it. Of course when Pearl was hit we decided it might be a good idea to hit back but that is the problem, we only hit back when our own property is hurt. And that is a continuing problem in our society. » Posted By SueInCa On July 5, 2012 @ 2:54 pm Here is a good graphic to show how Bain looted the companies they managed. Also the discrepancy in his tenure at Bain is now out in the news. One night on twitter Caroli, Bito, Cher and I were all researching and posting this stuff. http://themillercircle.org/wp-content/uploads/Bain-Capital-AMPAD-Story-300-dpi1.png » Posted By SueInCa On July 5, 2012 @ 2:16 pm Food I am already planning a house warming party. Never had one but I am with this home. It will be our last home not ever moving ever ever ever again. We have moved 13 times in 40 years(mostly me) so this 14th time is the last time. Of course if I ever got the opportunity to buy tropical I might have to think about it again heh » Posted By SueInCa On July 1, 2012 @ 3:11 pm Bff We looked around quite a bit. We found neighborhoods all over Vallejo with fine old homes. The problem was as we toured some of those homes we got tired just thinking of all the repairs that were needed. We would not have been able to move in without major remodeling and planning. Tree lined streets where the maples were meeting in the center, a historical district with Victorian and Craftsman homes. The problem is there is no real program to renovate all the old homes so the area is still blighted. Personally I would not have minded in my early years moving into one and doing the job hoping for renovation city but it just did not happen and is not feasible now. » Posted By SueInCa On July 1, 2012 @ 10:45 am [img]http://hipiseverything.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/gop-repeal-it-all-by-hip-is-everything.jpg[/img] » Posted By SueInCa On June 30, 2012 @ 3:55 pm [img]http://hipiseverything.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/gop-thought-e.jpg[/img] » Posted By SueInCa On June 30, 2012 @ 3:54 pm http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2012/06/gov_chris_christie_limits_half.html Gov. Chris Christie limits halfway house monitoring So his friends can clean up with minimal supervision. The GOP is rotten to it’s core After the New York Times reported on the dreadful conditions at halfway houses run by Chris Christie’s politically connected friends like Bill Palatucci, halfway houses which are really private prisons in disguise, Christie said he’d conduct a full investigation into these state funded private prisons. » Posted By SueInCa On June 30, 2012 @ 3:00 pm Conservative Southern Values Revived: How a Brutal Strain of American Aristocrats Have Come to Rule America I had mentioned on the Bill Moyers thread that I was going to try to write a piece on how our country became so infected with rascism and hate but I think this piece is a good jump off point. » Posted By SueInCa On June 30, 2012 @ 1:17 pm Rmuse over at Politicus has come out and said what I have put off. It cannot be taken lightly. Republican ‘Patriots’ Terrorize America with Calls for Armed Insurrection » Posted By SueInCa On June 30, 2012 @ 12:02 pm Yes. We are at the end of Military St where it turns into the old waterfront. We can walk maybe one block and down a block and be at the old wharf. This is the house we really wanted but someone got to it before us. http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1408-Lislin-Way-Vallejo-CA-94590/15656160_zpid/ Not exactly Beaver’s house but the area with huge maple trees that hang over the streets it is just so picturesque » Posted By SueInCa On June 29, 2012 @ 6:49 pm Thanks Doc. Originally we had found Leave it to Beaver’s house(kinda) and we really wanted it but this one is a nice consolation prize and it is in Benicia. So we are still on the bay in fact we are only about a block away from the bay at this house. » Posted By SueInCa On June 29, 2012 @ 6:03 pm OK I know you guys are not excited but we had an offer accepted on a condo today. We are excited. It is not the Norman Rockwell area we wanted to try to find a house but it is modern and freshly updated.

He is a true environmentalist trying vainly to keep Michigan from turning into a dump » Posted By SueInCa On June 28, 2012 @ 2:39 pm Funny when you sign up for Romney updates, you all of a sudden become a Patriot. Wonder what they would say knowing I am just spying on them? They were waiting for the Sc to BAIL them out????? Dear Patriot, The ruling from the Roberts court today is a blow to individual freedom and now we as conservatives have two options. Will we submit to the whims of the federal government, or will we refocus our efforts on every Senate and House race knowing that this election represents our last opportunity to stop ObamaCare? The Supreme Court didn’t bail us out, it remains up to us. We need to be active in every critical Senate race. Ohio, North Dakota, Florida, Montana, Nevada, Missouri, Wisconsin, and Michigan all have critical competitive Senate races, and we need to get involved. We also need to keep our sites set on the White House: We must defeat Barack Obama in November! Help us do the job the Supreme Court didn’t have the courage to do. Repeal Obamacare at the ballot box! We are focused – are you? Will you make a sacrifice to help us raise $120,000 this week. Not everyone can give, but if you will commit anything from $5 to $5,000, you can help us make the critical difference. Don’t be defeated, give generously. Sincerely, Dustin Stockton » Posted By SueInCa On June 28, 2012 @ 2:37 pm KQ Sometimes I find someone’s email and send them responses. I have been giving monthly to Obama and I am glad you are too. Congrats to you and your wife. » Posted By SueInCa On June 28, 2012 @ 11:02 am That is just too cool.

If I can jump in here I think we all know people like that. We also know people in the middle class who think because they are employed and own a house etc that everyone can do it if they only tried. I am not taking anything away from them for their hard work but the empathy in this country is down to a minority. We could blame it on our parents, education or any other multitude of reasons. I am not sure where to put the blame but I think during the 20th century we were constantly working up to this.
So much for Chris Christie’s word. Using his line item veto powers over the budget today he not only limited an effort by the legislature to learn more about the miserable conditions reported by the NY Times, but he struck language that would allow the legislature to learn how violent inmates are dealt with and he deleted requirements that would have had the corrections department make quarterly reports on the halfway houses.
Governor Christie then said he did this all in the interest of inmate safety.
This man is beyond despicable.
