This was tried at the beginning of the session. with bipartisan sponsers, but did not succeed then so what are the prospects now? » Posted By bito On October 6, 2011 @ 7:06 pm Here is the account as written by Roll Call: Harry Reid Cracks Down in Floor Showdown With Mitch McConnell This article is also on our Twitter widget. And this is part of what led up to the “crack down.” Senate Democrats Plan to Block McConnell’s Jobs Vote » Posted By bito On October 6, 2011 @ 6:40 pm Thanks funk, I have been semi watching it and was seeing on twitter that something was afoot. It still a bit muddled to me right now. » Posted By bito On October 6, 2011 @ 5:05 pm There’s something in the water but it ain’t fluoride. Pinellas County Commission votes to stop putting fluoride in water supply But critics seized on recent concerns about too much fluoride having side effects on young children and tea party-style fears of forced government medicating. Some speakers Tuesday compared it to Soviet and Nazi practices and warned of cancer, reduced IQ and deteriorating bones. “Fluoride is a toxic substance,” said tea party activist Tony Caso of Palm Harbor. “This is all part of an agenda that’s being pushed forth by the so-called globalists in our government and the world government to keep the people stupid so they don’t realize what’s going on.” He added: “This is the U.S. of A, not the Soviet Socialist Republic.” Commissioner Ken Welch said afterward that he was embarrassed by the decision, calling it “a big step backward for Pinellas County.” Karen Seel and Susan Latvala voted with Welch in favor of fluoridation. » Posted By bito On October 6, 2011 @ 4:11 pm The mirror may be getting bigger, but can they see any reflection in it? » Posted By bito On October 6, 2011 @ 2:41 pm Perfect line food, There is no mirror big enough for them to see themselves and no memory long enough to remember what they’ve done. » Posted By bito On October 6, 2011 @ 1:51 pm KQ, Here ya go: http://bit.ly/qoJzM5 via https://planetpov.com/?p=30203 » Posted By bito On October 6, 2011 @ 1:41 pm KQ, that is from a commencement speech given by Mr. Steve Jobs.

Wants To End State Ban On ‘Dwarf-Tossing’ To Increase Employment Opportunities For Little People Hey, here’s an idea, let’s allow indentured servitude to reduce unemployment! It was Big Government that outlawed it in the first place, so we know it must be bad. » Posted By bito On October 6, 2011 @ 1:26 pm Correct KT, did the government have anything to do with ESPN firing him? “The government shall make no laws…..” but ESPN can make rules, Hank. » Posted By bito On October 6, 2011 @ 12:12 pm I agree, AdLib, she never fooled me on her running, it wouldn’t be just the pay cut for her, it would have been the actual work to study and know the issues in depth. The only thing deep about her is her shallowness. » Posted By bito On October 6, 2011 @ 12:08 pm Wanna rethink this one Mittens? Romney Slams Obama’s ‘Harvard Faculty Lounge’ Foreign Policy, But Has 14 Harvard-Connected Advisers Despite repeatedly slamming President Obama for consulting with the “Harvard faculty lounge” on foreign policy, more than a third of Mitt Romney’s newly announced foreign policy team have either graduated from or held a position at the university. Romney himself holds business and law degrees from Harvard and has donated $50,000 to the university. Three of his children are also Harvard MBAs. Meghan O’Sullivan, co-chair of Romney’s Latin American team, is a current professor of international affairs. Paula Dobriansky, a special adviser to the campaign, is a senior fellow at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs. Defense adviser Eliot Cohen is a political science PhD and former professor at Harvard. Harvard is bad when it’s Obama, good when it’s Mitt. Besides the 14 Harvard advisors Mitt has, I wonder how many are from Yale? » Posted By bito On October 6, 2011 @ 11:58 am I don’t know AdLib, the longer they go on, the more dumb things they say. They are writing the ads for the general election. I think that’s why Palin didn’t run, she couldn’t think of anything dumber than what the others have been already saying. » Posted By bito On October 6, 2011 @ 11:48 am “After reading hundreds of e-mails, I have made MY decision,” Williams said in a statement to The Associated Press. “By pulling my opening Oct 3rd, You (ESPN) stepped on the Toes of The First Amendment Freedom of Speech, so therefore Me, My Song, and All My Rowdy Friends are OUT OF HERE. It’s been a great run.” http://old.news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20111006/ap_on_sp_fo_ne/fbn_monday_night_football_hank_williams » Posted By bito On October 6, 2011 @ 11:29 am FYI: Andrea Mitchell is still slime today. » Posted By bito On October 6, 2011 @ 10:18 am Did Leader Reid pull a fast one? Instead of raising taxes on those above 250,000a bit, a real boo-hiss with the R’s, he is proposing a bigger tax on just millionaires generating the same amount of revenue. Ha, now will the R’s vote against that one? Put up or shut up. SBA owners don’t make a million in income. Rep. Schakowsky Statement in Support of Senate Proposal for New Tax on Millionaires There is strong public support for tax reform. Earlier this year I introduced legislation, the Fairness in Taxation Act, to implement higher tax rates on millionaires and billionaires. More than 200 millionaires signed on in support of this bill and according to a recent Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, 80 percent of Americans believe the best way to reduce the deficit is by raising taxes on those who make more than a million dollars. Raising taxes on millionaires would help pay for the President’s plan to create jobs and get our economy back on track. Despite Republican efforts to continue to avoid dealing with the number one issue most important to Americans today, the President’s jobs proposal deserves a vote in Congress.” » Posted By bito On October 5, 2011 @ 8:22 pm If this keeps up the R’s will be voting THIS November! Nevada moves 2012 caucus to Jan. 14 ast week, Florida made its plans to hold its Republican presidential primary on Jan. 31 official, setting off a reshuffling of the primary calendar as early states scramble to move up their contests to protect their cherished statuses. Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina, the four states permitted to hold contests prior to March 6, have all vowed to move their dates up to buck the Florida shift. Two contests will be held before Nevada’s caucus: Iowa’s caucus comes first, then New Hampshire’s first in the nation primary. The vote in New Hampshire has to be seven days before Nevada, and that contest is traditionally held on a Tuesday, leaving Jan. 3 as the most likely date. Do I hear Christmas Eve Day!! 🙂 » Posted By bito On October 5, 2011 @ 7:51 pm Preach it Brother! » Posted By bito On October 5, 2011 @ 4:07 pm KT,those were but just 3 examples, not a total list of occupations losing their jobs. I worked in both manufacturing and the building trades among a few others. I’m glad you are proud of your nephew, but I doubt he he ever become part of the 1-5 or 10% of the income equality nor will he pay the 15% tax rate if he does make a million per year. Look at the list of the Unions that have joined, do they look like white collar jobs? » Posted By bito On October 5, 2011 @ 4:05 pm Sue, It says “We Are The 1%” » Posted By bito On October 5, 2011 @ 3:38 pm » Posted By bito On October 5, 2011 @ 3:36 pm Jinx Sue! 😆 » Posted By bito On October 5, 2011 @ 3:34 pm OMG! Shocker! BREAKING NEWS! S’arah Palin announced she is NOT running for prez! » Posted By bito On October 5, 2011 @ 3:32 pm The march has arrived at Liberty Square! http://www.livestream.com/lauraflanders/video?clipId=pla_29349612-e643-4eb9-9fe1-16c186533402 » Posted By bito On October 5, 2011 @ 3:27 pm C’lady, it reminds me when the recession first hit the employment figures and I heard some saying that when it was hitting 850,000 a month that “we have a systemic employment problem, we need to retrain people due to globalization and new high-tech jobs….” I’m yelling WTF? Are 850,000 people a month suddenly losing their training, education and skills all-at-once? Your MA in teaching became obsolete? Your IT degree? Your skills as journeyman in the building trades? The only systemic problem I saw was the privatization of profits and socialization of losses. Mr. Cain is a “pawn” of the TPGOP and his own ego to say “it’s your fault.” Since when do workers set policy? » Posted By bito On October 5, 2011 @ 3:19 pm Here is a partial list of the Unions and Community organizations joining the march today. http://occupywallst.org/article/occupywallstreet-union-march-foley-square-wall-str/ AFL-CIO (AFSCME) […] VOCAL-NY There are more at the site and more are joining! What I have heard so far that there are so many marching that they are in the streets and the NYPD is not stopping them. No arrests reported and the march should be arriving at Liberty Square soon. Both Boston and San Fran have very large crowds according to reports I’ve read. 99>1 [img]http://www.occupytogether.org/posters/posterThumb8.jpg[/img] » Posted By bito On October 5, 2011 @ 2:52 pmComments Posted By bito
