One would expect lobbying for the environment, the disabled, ending child abuse or domestic violence to have positive outcomes; lobbying for the bottom line of all the BIGS in your list is nothing but greed. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 16, 2009 @ 9:32 am nellie, I firmly believe the practice of lobbying and the lobbyists themselves should be outlawed. Period. To me, they’re no different than stalkers and pedophiles; wink, wink, nod, nod. Would you like a dum-dum? What is your favorite flavor my pretty? Our elected officials are unable to police themselves, much less reform campaign spending. Dog forbid they should bite the hand that feeds them. With very few exceptions, most of them would rather screw their constituents than ehtically, morally, and honestly represent them. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 16, 2009 @ 8:11 am A very dark and depressing day in Montana Those people do need jobs; I don’t disagree. Our unemployed could fill the seats in a call center and provide better customer service in a shorter amount of time. The customer would be much better served and the companies could have a better business model. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 15, 2009 @ 10:46 am nellie, nothing frosts me more than making travel plans for my boss, calling my bank, calling my student loan servicer, any number of other places and spending 30-45 minutes on the phone with “Stephanie” or “Nathan, folks who are about as far away from those names as one could be. I have found I spend MORE time repeating myself, speaking slowly and using one syllable words. Arrrgh! » Posted By boomer1949 On December 15, 2009 @ 10:16 am Extremely heartfelt and generous. What you did will be greatly appreciated. If we don’t care about each other, who will? Certainly not Joe Lieberman or the banker guys who chose to snub President Obama yesterday. Bless you and your family Pepe. 🙂 » Posted By boomer1949 On December 15, 2009 @ 9:52 am Well, I have 3 cats; far less than Kalima. Don’t think any us can beat her. Used to have a Golden and a Westie and have nothing against dogs. Okay just one…my neighbor has one with absolutely terrible manners. Of course it’s not his fault — it’s his Mom’s. I don’t think he made it to puppy school. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 15, 2009 @ 10:59 am Why do they do that? Talk out of both sides of their mouth I mean? » Posted By boomer1949 On December 15, 2009 @ 10:51 am Welcome Woof! I have cats so please don’t hold it against me. I’m a newbie as well. The Planet is a great place to be, and I think you’ll like it here. 🙂 » Posted By boomer1949 On December 15, 2009 @ 10:28 am Fire Dog Lake has Jane Hamsher weighing in: http://fdlaction.firedoglake.com/2009/12/15/the-manufactured-outrage-of-joe-lieberman/ » Posted By boomer1949 On December 15, 2009 @ 9:39 am Wouldn’t they be considered collateral damage? » Posted By boomer1949 On December 15, 2009 @ 9:26 am I thought so as well. Of course I’m always a day late and a $ short — took me awhile before the ALARM clock went off in my head. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 15, 2009 @ 4:02 am Prilosec OTC is much better; even helps with the nasty ulcers left by the acerbic comments. Much easier to swallow too. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 15, 2009 @ 3:42 am Hanukkah: the festival of light Cher, Thank you so much for such an informative article. I knew some things, but not everything. I never knew Hannukkah was a secular holiday. I was just watching a program yesterday, not only did the host discuss the holiday, she also demonstrated how to make latkes and the jelly donut. The donut part was very cute because her grandchildren were “helping” — up to their elbows in flour, jelly, and sugar. I’m definitely going to try your recipe, just to see if I can. Thanks again Cher — very interesting. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 14, 2009 @ 2:15 pm It’s Time To Rethink Re-Instituting the Universal Draft You are joking right? I thought it was the Burka? » Posted By boomer1949 On December 13, 2009 @ 9:30 pm KK, What a hoot — no — absolutely no disrespect! Said it earlier, but will make a repeat. Albeit serious, it was also funny. I’m right there with all of us 50+ gals, who have reached the top of Mt. Everest, and are on the downhill trek. Doesn’t mean we are incapable of kicking a$$, believe it, just listening to our voices (in unison, although harmony would be more effective), would give cause for surrender. When you have a letter ready to present to the POTUS and the DOD, let me know. I’ll be the first to sign up. I’ve held a DOD Top Secret for 5 years…do I have an in? 🙂 » Posted By boomer1949 On December 13, 2009 @ 9:15 pm Hey Kalima! Yes ma’am. Right there with you. I wish I had a $100 for every loo I’ve ever scrubbed. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 13, 2009 @ 2:59 pm George Carlin on War:
» Posted By boomer1949 On December 13, 2009 @ 12:47 pm KK, Absolutely spot on. If you write a Class Action Letter to Congress, I’ll right there with you to sign it. 😉 » Posted By boomer1949 On December 13, 2009 @ 12:40 pm TRP, What can we do to help? This is not the time to suck it up guy. If you don’t want to put all of it out there, please send me an email, jgammello@sbcglobal.net » Posted By boomer1949 On December 13, 2009 @ 2:45 pm That’s because someone has cleaned out the cache. If one can’t find evidence, it never happened. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 13, 2009 @ 10:43 am Shoot, I used to clean up after my dad and I wasn’t even the spouse. I was only 11. And yes, I wish my mother had had the cajonnes to say “enough is enough…me and the kids are out of here.” It was as if her feet were cemented to the floor; I’m sure it was from fear. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 13, 2009 @ 10:40 am nellie, Have you ever wondered why she did? » Posted By boomer1949 On December 13, 2009 @ 8:54 am Stupid is a Pre-Existing Condition: Whatever Happened to Suffering Real Consequences? choicelady, Everything you just said crossed my mind last night, and I even went to Face the Nation to see what they had there; I must confess I didn’t watch the video. On the other hand, I still wasn’t sure. It was 1:30 AM EST and I never stay up like that — when I saw the HP headline — I started to hyperventilate 🙂 I did send JL a note through his Senate website, and then sent it on to my Senator. Given the hour, I’m sure I overreacted. I certainly hope so, the man is such a, a, a, wimp and troublemaker. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 14, 2009 @ 1:53 pm Kalima and/or E’cat I really need to hit the hay. However, I absolutely had to let you know that Lieberman is up to his antics once again. I forwarded my online comments to Senator Lieberman to Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH). The following is the exact message I shot off to Joey. What in the world is wrong with this guy? Dear Senator (Lieberman): What in the world is YOUR problem? You Sir, are playing both sides against the middle and completely destroying the fabric of my country. You don’t want to be a Republican and you don’t want to be a Democrat. Okay fine, your choice. However Sir, you are messing with the lives of many — men, women, children, infants, the elderly. Please Senator Lieberman, please tell me WHO died and made you God? Please explain — sorry I just want to wreak havoc doesn’t count. What is your problem? Why are you so hateful? Why do you want people to suffer? Who is paying you under the table? Sorry Senator, but you are as fake as the silk flowers on my grandmother’s dining room table, and you sir are playing Russian Roulette with the lives of millions of people. Ooops…but that doesn’t bother you — right? Why? Because you will never have to worry about health care — the taxpayers are PAYING YOUR PREMIUMS. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 13, 2009 @ 10:58 pm KALIMA… I am totally tired and need to go to sleep. However, just caught this Take a look see and let all of us know in the morning? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/12/13/lieberman-tells-reid-to-h_n_390416.html Thanks! » Posted By boomer1949 On December 13, 2009 @ 10:26 pm Count on it K…that is if I can actually open my eyes. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 13, 2009 @ 9:59 pm km, I’ve already decided it ain’t gonna be pretty. Over and out! » Posted By boomer1949 On December 13, 2009 @ 9:57 pm choicelady, I am EST and still awake. Have to be at work in less than seven hours. Probably older than you, and this is the second time in three days I’ve been up waaaaaay past my snooze time. Haven’t done this in forever. If I could stay up for Kalima’s day, I would. Pretty scary. Only one other thing would, could get me to stay up this late on a “school night.” But we won’t go there, ‘kay? » Posted By boomer1949 On December 13, 2009 @ 9:38 pm TRP, My oldest is only 4 yrs younger than you. So, you are far, very far from middle age. Must be because I still see myself as middle age…not…not in a million years! Scary, I’m 60 and still love Dave Matthews: https://video.pbs.org/video/1279945894/ » Posted By boomer1949 On December 13, 2009 @ 9:02 pm Good Day Kalima, Our pea brain society (at least in the US) lives and breathes this garbage. I was going to say CRAP, but was concerned AdLib would put me in “pending.” lol! I have a dear friend who won’t watch the nightly news (none of it) simply because it’s too depressing. Is my friend wrong? Of course not, but she is also intelligent enough to see the real world as “it turns.” She just chooses not to be sucked in to the day in and day out. On the other hand, there are those who live, breathe, and exist via the lives of others. By doing so, they avoid their own miserable circumstances. Me, on the other hand, can’t stand all the celebrity garbage. What a total waste of time. All the Entertainment Tonight, TMZ, HP (oops, did I really say that?), and any other tabloid-ish name one chooses to invent, are an insult to our intelligence. Most of us should be embarrassed, much less insulted. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 13, 2009 @ 7:55 pmComments Posted By boomer1949
Had a Professor in college who actually traveled, wore one, and brought it back.
“across the street” — Eyore is at it again. What IS this man’s agenda anyway? I am stunned.
