One of the problems I have with “leading from behind” is that when a day like this comes, we don’t have the infrastructure in place that we could have. I’m glad it ended the way it did. It took longer than it should have. If we could have kept American air power in the fight it would have been over quicker. Sixty-thousand Libyans have been wounded, 3,000 maimed, 25,000 killed. Let’s get in on the ground. There is a lot of money to be made in the future in Libya. Lot of oil to be produced. Let’s get on the ground and help the Libyan people establish a democracy and a functioning economy based on free market principles. He said the close to the same thing about needing to help Afghanistan build their schools/roads/military/jobs/infrastructure yet he votes against the same thing for the US? Now he wants to do it in Libya? » Posted By bito On October 23, 2011 @ 4:49 pm Thank you Cher! » Posted By bito On October 23, 2011 @ 4:24 pm Cher, their ignorance and seemingly need to remain so on how Congress actually works is what infuriates me on top of not grasping the choice of where the R’s want to take this country. » Posted By bito On October 23, 2011 @ 4:13 pm A glance at the pipelines in the US: http://www.theodora.com/pipelines/united_states_pipelines.html Scroll down for map. There appears to me that there already oil pipelines running over through that area along with any number of ‘other’ pipelines. » Posted By bito On October 23, 2011 @ 2:16 pm C’Lady, it was very difficult to watch but I was going for extra credit on my homework, instead I think I got brain damage. 😉 » Posted By bito On October 23, 2011 @ 1:26 pm Well, AdLib, this is peoples choice, Hispanic or not: Video: McConnell: Police, firefighter layoffs not my problem “Well, Candy, I’m sure that Americans do,” McConnell remarked. “I certainly do approve of firefighters and police. The question is whether the federal government ought to be raising taxes on 300,000 small businesses in order to send money down to bail out states for whom firefighters and police work. They’re local and state employees.” “The question is whether the federal government can afford to be bailing out states. I think the answer is no.” […] “I mean, the president is deliberately trying to create an issue here. Look, the American people don’t think, I’m sure, that it’s a good idea. Four out of five of the so-called millionaires are business owners, over 300,000 small businesses in our country that hire people. I don’t think the American people think that raising taxes on business, small business in the middle of this economic situation we find ourselves in is a particularly good idea.” ” Too Many Taxes on Small Business, Job Creators and ‘Too Many Damn Regulations,’ I tell ya! Yep, AP, great job of not reporting, Hispanics are going to flock to a party that doesn’t really care if you even have a job because they need to protect their precious 300,000 millionaires. » Posted By bito On October 23, 2011 @ 1:21 pm DAVID FRUM: It’s Time We Republicans Finally Admitted That Paul Krugman Has Been Right A couple of months back, Republican commentator David Frum made a startling observation: Imagine, if you will, someone who read only the Wall Street Journal editorial page between 2000 and 2011, and someone in the same period who read only the collected columns of Paul Krugman. Which reader would have been better informed about the realities of the current economic crisis? The answer, I think, should give us pause. Can it be that our enemies were right? Will Frum be ostracized for that remark? After all, Paul Krugman is supposed to be Public Enemy No. 1.

From: http://bible.cc/ecclesiastes/10-2.htm The Targum (a translation or paraphrase in Aramaic of a book or division of the Old Testament.) is, “the heart of a wise man is to get the law, which was given by the right hand of the Lord; and the heart of a fool to get the goods of gold and silver:” I wonder if they might want to rethink their use of that verse? » Posted By bito On October 23, 2011 @ 9:46 am Smart thinking , Em. » Posted By bito On October 22, 2011 @ 9:48 pm Em, I’m sure that was brought up and I missed it.

BTW and FYI: overturning all regulations (EPA and Banking) and Roe v. Wade will create jobs! It’s God’s will. » Posted By bito On October 22, 2011 @ 7:49 pm k’es, I do wonder if I could agree with you more. I know, I know. I should have just hit the delete button. This is close to a Flat Earther as I have read in awhile. But then we all know that the sale of of Post Toasties (or is it Quaker Oats?) result in a 1000 point climb in the stock market and Oveltine builds bodies in 12 ways (or is that Wonder Bread?) They missed the passage in the ‘Good Book’ that says ” O ‘Ye, my faithful, let it be known: Thy Money Changers are among the Blessed and shall sit upon the right hand of my throne.” What was that other part? “Render under to Caesar” or the ” that little “Sermon on the Mount” gig? » Posted By bito On October 22, 2011 @ 7:26 pm Well this is a first for TO/OT: anisonams Ani Sonam Congratulations to all “Planeteers and “Tooters” » Posted By bito On October 22, 2011 @ 6:21 pm Thanks, invient, I will read it ASAP.

Concerning the article it is great that he (more likely his staff) actually read taxpayer paid studies and report on them unlike the “reporters” in this day. Years ago I became a fan if I. F. (Izzy) Stone for this very reason. He didn’t just report what the pols said, he researched, dug and read the actual reports. He and his staff deserve the “Izzy Award” IMO. How can a multi-Trillion bank set on a board that sets policy that a change would mean their very existence or detriment? Makes very little sense for the 99% » Posted By bito On October 22, 2011 @ 5:27 pm invient, While I am sympathetic to concerns about potential losses to the FDIC bank insurance fund, the fact is that FDIC can reject any contract between any party and a failed bank. If BoA were collapse under the rules of Dodd-Frank (or have the R’s and big banks destroyed that part of the act) the dissolution of BoA may be a short term harm but a long term blessing. ( I don’t even begin to pretend to have any in depth knowledge of world-wide investment banking but I have a great deal of caution with this opinion piece from Reuters by an investment banker) » Posted By bito On October 22, 2011 @ 5:00 pm C’Lady as part of the “Occupy DC” movement, the Faith Community held a few different events that I know of, same with the OWS and they got zero to none coverage except on the Internet. In NY they held an hour long presser, with no MSM even in attendance. They sope at length about economic inequality, yet the MSM still insists that the whole Occupy movement doesn’t have any set theme. » Posted By bito On October 22, 2011 @ 1:56 pm Cher, Sorta breaks one of our terms in the “Terms of Use” about snarky comments to others. That is pure snark. Of course it isn’t aimed at anyone personally is it? 😉 » Posted By bito On October 22, 2011 @ 1:31 pm That is great Cher! 😆 » Posted By bito On October 22, 2011 @ 1:13 pm Sorry for the interruptions this morning, I’m not sure what is the problem. » Posted By bito On October 22, 2011 @ 12:47 pm Oh this choice! Perry, Gingrich give private speeches to Christian group in Orlando A California-based Christian activist group sponsored a meeting of Florida pastors in Orlando this week featuring private speeches from Republican presidential candidates Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich and production of a political-activism video. Participants in the meeting Thursday and Friday disclosed little about the event or the group behind it, United in Purpose. The group’s spokesman was not available. The appearances by candidates at the event, dubbed The Florida Renewal Project, also were shrouded in secrecy. One local participating group, the Orlando-based Florida Family Policy Council, announced Perry’s and Gingrich’s commitments in a press release two weeks ago, but neither candidate’s staff would comment in advance. [….] Later at another hotel, the former U.S. House speaker said his address focused on “rebalancing the judiciary within the Constitution.” “The courts have been an engine for anti-religious bigotry over the last 50 years, and I wanted to outline to them that historically there are clear grounds for rebalancing the court,” Gingrich said.[….] Dallas told the Times that United in Purpose had “millions of dollars” for its campaigns, funded mostly by anonymous donors. Dallas, whose biography on the group’s website states was sentenced to five years in prison in the 1990s for embezzlement, told the Times his group does not embrace any party or candidate. “We’re about the agenda of the lamb, Jesus Christ,” Dallas said. » Posted By bito On October 22, 2011 @ 12:16 pm I’m not really a farmer, but I speak for them.

Profit is not an end in itself but a means toward the common good. “Once profit becomes the exclusive goal,” he writes, “if it is produced by improper means and without the common good as its ultimate end, it risks destroying wealth and creating poverty.” That certainly proved true by the economic greed and reluctance that caused the recent recession Just like the community of faith groups that C’Lady works with, and Catholic Social Teaching, just don’t “make the news.” Being kind and just isn’t as exciting as condemning others like so many false Christians do. Abortion is important while feeding the children is a burden. “Free-Market Capitalism” is ‘Christian’ while poverty is one’s own damn problem…….. » Posted By bito On October 22, 2011 @ 10:05 am lovelyladypa @AngryBlackLady did u see where Huff Post wants the ppl who wrote Pres O letters to contact them to let them know the amt of money in a personal check Pres O sent them to help them out » Posted By bito On October 21, 2011 @ 7:33 pm It looks like they were there this morming, Cher.

Their attitude as PBO the Dictator escapes me. PBO presents a bill to Congress and they just pass it?
“I’m ignorant, and I like it!”
Along with C’Lady, I have mixed feelings on this and probably object more to environmental damage of oil sands and shales. Due to the worlds appetite for petroleum products and the profit margin it will be this pipeline or another until we begin to take advantage of renewable energy.

“I was born a poor black boy in a sod house with a bible in my hands and a slave owner….” (OK, I made that last bit up.)
There are many internal links in that article and I am wondering where you got the 70 trillion dollars. That is an immense amount and would be rejected by the FDIC on it’s face, it would completely wipe out the FDIC, they can’t possibly cover that amount. I am missing something.
They need a press handout with 5 bullet points in able to report, otherwise they are lost.
