Research? Yes…what can I do? ***EDIT*** I agree with what you’re saying about the Kochs. However, one must consider how long they’ve flown under the radar, undetected. Discovering the true Koch-agenda became a light-bulb-moment for thousands of people. Thus explaining why the focus has been on the brothers and not other faux “people-corporations.” » Posted By boomer1949 On March 10, 2011 @ 2:48 pm Love, Marriage and Sex – Separate But Equal? I was married once, for 24+ years, until I realized I couldn’t settle the way my mother and mother in-law had. I also realized my motivation for getting married in the first place, was to escape life as the child of an Alcoholic. TMI here, however and in order to fully understand, …put yourself in the shoes of an 11 year old kid; think about it. An 11 year old kid, with a Father puking his guts out all over anything and everything before 9 pm on a weekday. Not only was it expected I care for my younger brothers, but also the Dad. All the while the Mom was living in her own “fantasy world” at her part-time job. Who in his/her right mind would expect an 11 year old to assume the responsibilities of a parent, an adult? I was a little kid, losing my childhood to that which both my parents were deprived. I made every attempt to provide my kids with outlets, options, and choices; none of which were ever presented to me. None of my diatribe is meant to be a derogatory statement toward AL or his family. My perspective is just one of numerous experiences. » Posted By boomer1949 On March 9, 2011 @ 6:08 pm 😉 I hear you girly, I hear you… » Posted By boomer1949 On March 9, 2011 @ 5:22 pm As many here know, I’m from the generation where women had 3 choices in life — get married, become a nurse, or become a teacher. Seriously? I always wanted to be a BSN, always; in fact, to this day, at my age, when I walk into a hospital, something comes over me. Goose bumps? Yes. Indescribable? Absolutely! To realize I screwed up in my early years, is beyond a slap in my face. I’m beyond envious of our dear kes, yet also well aware my mother didn’t want me to be more than that which she achieved. Sad, very sad. I was raised in an environment where girls/women were considered indentured servants, chattel. Sound familiar? Tea Party? GOP? My younger brothers were treated differently; seriously, they were. When I was eleven, the Mom realized she had completely fucked up and all she wanted to do was get out of the house. As a result, she got a part-time job, an escape from whatever she perceived as an encumbrance. She so wanted to escape, she chose me, the oldest @ 11, to be totally responsible for 2 younger siblings and an alcoholic Father, and this is just skimming the surface. So…you, AdLib, came up in a different environment and family dynamic. That said, so were my daughters. All parents want for their kids that which they didn’t receive for themselves. I admire your dedication and sensitivity; your parents “done good,” and your wife is truly blessed. 😉 » Posted By boomer1949 On March 9, 2011 @ 4:47 pm I’d pay the airfare to bring “this one” to OH-IO; bet kes would help pick up the tab as well. 😉 » Posted By boomer1949 On March 9, 2011 @ 3:45 pm Happy Anniversary! » Posted By boomer1949 On March 9, 2011 @ 3:04 pm Yes Virginia, There is Class Warfare John Kasich and his GOP minions are attempting to do the same in Ohio, however with less fanfare. It’s been proven Walker sold his soul to the Kochs, but the same (albeit similar) cannot be said of “John Boy.” Back in the day, Mr. Kasich was a phenomenal Representative in my district; neither of us is from the same party, but I voted for him. Then his parents died, he joined Lehman, he sold his soul to Wall Street and, God forbid, Fox. Now, we have a “born again Christian” as the Gov. of the State of Ohio, refusing to live in the official Gov’s. residence, and sending his twin daughters to private Christian School. His choice, and I don’t hold it against him. However, for him to attempt to balance the State of Ohio budget on the backs of the public sector, including teachers, is a crock of shit. There’s more to this than meets the eye, and it isn’t right. It isn’t right! » Posted By boomer1949 On March 6, 2011 @ 3:55 pm I did, and I just posted a link to last night’s Rachel in TO/OT.

Boycott Koch Brothers The Kochs’ Slogan: http://boycottkochbrothers.com/# » Posted By boomer1949 On February 25, 2011 @ 11:16 am CROSSPOST from TO/OT boomer1949 says: In Wis. Union Battle, Focus On Billionaire Twins As conservatives battle with public-employee unions in Wisconsin and other states, the conflict has drawn increasing public attention to a pair of low-profile billionaires, David and Charles Koch, who give millions of dollars to groups working to drive civil service unions out of government and ultimately out of politics. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s budget bill would make civil servants pay more for pensions and benefits, and it would cripple their unions as a force in collective bargaining and politics. The measure has prompted protests at the state Capitol and teachers to walk off the job. Walker says the plan is necessary and wants the unions to get in line. “The teachers here in the city of Madison walked off the job, which is really ultimately a strike and an illegal action,” he said. Other GOP governors have joined the fight. “The most powerful special interests in America today are the government unions,” Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels told member station WAMU’s Diane Rehm Show this week. The governors have allies in this fight: conservative groups that organize the grassroots develop the arguments and even draft the legislation. The Koch brothers give millions to such groups, including the Americans for Prosperity, which has a Stand With Walker website and TV ad.

No more negotiations and problem solved. Seriously Cher, do you think this guy is this smart? There are others telling him what to do, and guess who they may be? ***EDIT***He has handlers. Duh! » Posted By boomer1949 On February 24, 2011 @ 5:27 pm Don’t forget those whispering sweet nothings in his ear. Man, do I have a story about the ijits who seem to love upping the ante at the expense of Kindergartners and their teachers. Need to make sure I have the correct info. first. However, these yahoos want low-income kids, who have NEVER been to preschool to pass a state mandated test = to First and Second grade performance. Who the hell are these ijits anyway? And, more important, WHAT and WHERE are their teaching credentials? IMHO, if they’ve never been in a classroom, then they aren’t qualified and need to shut the fuck up. My kid would never consider telling a doctor, nurse, accountant, attorney how to do his/her job. Why? Because she isn’t qualified. Where is the disconnect here? Moreover, to hold the educators responsible for everything is ludicrous. My kid can’t teach a kid whose parents refuse to be involved. As a result, my kid spends most of her time being a surrogate parent. Can’t have it both ways folks, can’t have it both ways. » Posted By boomer1949 On February 24, 2011 @ 5:23 pm You could start your own gig? » Posted By boomer1949 On February 24, 2011 @ 4:59 pm Patsy, I feel like the March Hare. » Posted By boomer1949 On February 24, 2011 @ 4:57 pm Done! » Posted By boomer1949 On February 24, 2011 @ 12:40 pm CROSSPOST from TimeOut/OT boomer1949 says: To make it easier, here is The FAIR Media Contact List.

Rachel Maddow shows that Americans have liberal values as long as those values aren’t labeled “liberal” and points out that the sooner Democrats make a stand for those values the better they’ll fare politically.
