Boehner Claims Credit For Jobs Numbers…On Behalf Of The American People » Posted By boomer1949 On March 4, 2011 @ 10:40 am KT, I guess it was called “the age of innocence.” Unfortunately, there are those who don’t care or give a flying fig about where we are NOW, compared to where we WERE. Is it because they’re too old and have forgotten, or they’re too young and haven’t a clue? » Posted By boomer1949 On March 3, 2011 @ 8:51 pm Totally jealous AB, totally jealous! » Posted By boomer1949 On March 3, 2011 @ 8:45 pm Cher, I be a convert. Can’t fool me with CODE. 😆 ONG – Tavis Smiley and his first guest tonight — author of “Alone Together.” She started out credibly enough, but then tanked. » Posted By boomer1949 On March 3, 2011 @ 8:39 pm 😆 Sorry, dear, you’re going to have nightmares. Take two aspirin and call me in the morning! » Posted By boomer1949 On March 3, 2011 @ 7:54 pm No, I didn’t see Rachel this evening, I don’t have cable; but will check it out tomorrow at work. However, I did know of his (Kasich’s) connection (which everyone conveniently has forgotten) to Faux News and Lehman. I need to look into it further, but I think the wifey (11 years his junior, btw) is from “old money.” Not sure and needs more research. As I told KT earlier, this guy is not the same individual I voted for to represent ME and my Kids. He drank the Kool-Aide, he drank the Kool-Aide. Did I mention 1) he turned down living in the Governor’s residence, 2) He owns what one could call an “Estate” in Northern Franklin County/Southern Delaware County Ohio (acres from what I’ve read), and (which pisses me off more than anything else), his twin daughters attend a private “Christian” school. Fine — it’s his choice. Yet, he is demonizing Public Employees, primarily Professional Educators, just to balance the fucking budget. The Kindergarten teacher daughter (an excellent educator, with 9 years experience) is investigating her options and considering becoming an ex-pat. » Posted By boomer1949 On March 3, 2011 @ 7:49 pm NOT! It gets much better after the PMS crap suddenly “disappears.” Such a relief, trust me. ***EDIT*** Now that would be one damn, fine par-tay! 😉 » Posted By boomer1949 On March 3, 2011 @ 7:27 pm So Cher, Seriously, I’m not trying to “one up you.” There is a 3 hour time difference between the MidCoast and the LeftCoast. When I’m “up and on the move,” you’re still catchin’ ZZZs. Oh my goodness, do I envy you (why did my parents ever move from San Diego back to Ohio?). Seriously, not your problem, except, even at my age, I’m still resentful. That said, however, I’m totally, incredibly, and sincerely jealous that you have had the opportunity to meet our Fearless Leader, Choicelady, and maybe even PatsyT. All you LeftCoasty peoples have an advantage over the rest of us. Sigh… » Posted By boomer1949 On March 3, 2011 @ 7:15 pm chase, I didn’t, but all of them are older than me, even “little” Janet. 😆
» Posted By boomer1949 On March 3, 2011 @ 7:02 pm I had no choice at the time, however now it’s hysterical. » Posted By boomer1949 On March 3, 2011 @ 6:58 pm bito!!!! I’ve been beyond concerned. So incredibly glad to see you rise above the radar — seriously. Your absence did NOT go unnoticed, by me or a number of other Planeteers. 🙂 May I have permission to breathe a SIGH of relief? ***EDIT*** I don’t care who has what, all of it will come out in the wash; there are legal schmeegles far more informed than I. However, seeing and reading you, bito, is far more important to me. The rest will take care of itself. Of course, I’ll be a thorn in someone’s behind to make it happen. » Posted By boomer1949 On March 3, 2011 @ 6:41 pm Message to OH-I-O House Dems. Time for a road trip, travel to Illinois — stand up — support your Democratic colleagues — represent you Ohio constituents! Had the Ohio Senate committees played fair, you wouldn’t need to make this decision. Go, have a great weekend!

FEC… http://storyofstuff.org/citizensunited/ » Posted By boomer1949 On March 3, 2011 @ 6:17 pm Oh chase, I’m a closet LW viewer. I recognize these two without even playing the vid. However, I grew up with it, so my only rational is it “brings back memories?” » Posted By boomer1949 On March 3, 2011 @ 6:03 pm You know KT, Kasich was about the people — until his parents died and he sold out to Lehman. Now, I wouldn’t trust him to care for my cats, let alone the people of the State of Ohio. The Gov. is not the Congressman I sent to Washington years ago to represent me or my kids. Giving salary increases to his staff and, in the same breath, asking teachers, firefighters, police officers, university professors, DOT salt truck drivers..actually anyone with a public sector job, to suck it up and share “the sacrifice” is a crock of shit. ***Plus*** had committee members NOT been replaced yesterday to change the outcome of “the vote” in order to send it to the House, we wouldn’t even be having this conversation. Seriously, was the stunt they pulled legal? » Posted By boomer1949 On March 3, 2011 @ 5:59 pm Hellooooo…is anyone paying any attention to what’s coming out of WI? I know Rachel said he (Walker and his cronies) were desperate and scraping the bottom of the barrel), but really? Wisconsin Senate approves use of force to arrest absent Democrats The Wisconsin Senate passed a resolution Thursday allowing for the arrest of 14 Democratic senators that left the state to prevent Republican Gov. Scott Walker’s union-busting bill to pass. Republican senators approved the measure by a 19-0 vote. The Democrats must return to the chamber by 4 pm Central Time or Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R) will declare them in contempt of the Senate, according to the Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal Sentinel. Under the new resolution, Fitzgerald could order Senate Sergeant at Arms Ted Blazel to “take any and all necessary steps, with or without force, and with or without the assistance of law enforcement officers, by warrant or other legal process, as he may deem necessary in order to bring that senator to the Senate chambers so that the Senate may convene with a quorum of no less than 20 senators.” The measure said that Democrats were violating a Senate rule by not taking a leave of absence before being gone for more than one day. What a crock of shit and no less despicable as the two Ohio Senate committees that “decided” to switch out nays for yays in order to move Ohio SB 5 out of committee and to the Ohio House. What the hell is going on here people? What the hell is going on? » Posted By boomer1949 On March 3, 2011 @ 5:10 pm And some Ohio Tea Partiers are rethinking what they helped create… Even pro-SB 5 Tea Party protest organizer blasts how SB 5 passed TEA PARTY CONDEMNS REPLACEMENT OF SEITZ ON SENATE BILL 5 COMMITTEE Kent, Ohio – The Portage County TEA Party announced today that it condemns the move by Ohio Senate Republicans to replace Republican Senator Seitz with Republican Senator Hite to get Senate Bill 5 out of committee. After his replacement they then passed the bill out of committee by a 7-5 vote. Tom Zawistowski, Executive Director of the Portage County TEA Party said “Speaking as the leader of the Portage County TEA Party, I want to say that we condemn this type of political maneuvering, just as we condemned the same type of political maneuvering that the Democrats used last year to pass the Health Care bill. If they can not pass a bill based on it’s merits, by getting even their own members to vote for it, then their is something wrong with the bill in the first place. Senator Seitz accused Senate leadership of doing exactly what the Democrats have been doing, which is passing bills before people have the chance to read them and understand them. For that he was removed from the committee. This is just plain wrong and the Portage County TEA Party condemns this type of behavior by our elected officials on both side of the isle and at all levels of government.” Gee TPers, you’ve been used and abused. Should have looked before you leaped. What goes around comes around. » Posted By boomer1949 On March 3, 2011 @ 4:57 pm Democrats find their spine http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/vp/41879822#41879822 » Posted By boomer1949 On March 3, 2011 @ 12:58 pm I replied to kes, but since you’re up here, count me in! » Posted By boomer1949 On March 3, 2011 @ 12:25 pm Count me in! » Posted By boomer1949 On March 3, 2011 @ 12:18 pm When it became obvious an African American was going to be occupy the Oval Office. » Posted By boomer1949 On March 3, 2011 @ 10:43 am I stopped watching at 3:52. These are the people the RW stirred up, the Koch’s financed, and the uninformed voted for. They are the Walkers, the Kasichs, the Christis, the Barbours. They are mean, hatefilled, bigoted, disgusting and an embarrassment to this country. Maybe we need to look into “where they came from” and tell them to “GO HOME!” Stupid is a preexisting condition, I swear! » Posted By boomer1949 On March 3, 2011 @ 10:40 am Salary for All K-12 Teachers By Job By Years Experience By Employer Type By City By Company Size By State By Degree/Major Subject> By School Attended By Certification By Benefit/Perk By Gender By Employment Status » Posted By boomer1949 On March 3, 2011 @ 7:05 am The Cato Institute, the Koch Brothers & Rupert Murdoch http://proamlib.blogspot.com/2011/02/cato-institute-koch-brothers-rupert.html# » Posted By boomer1949 On March 3, 2011 @ 4:58 am Senate Bill 5 Six GOP senators joined 10 Democrats in voting against the measure. The bill, which Gov. Kasich says will help taxpayers, passed 17-16 and may be acted on quickly in the House. Republicans needed every bit of their huge Senate majority yesterday to pass a major overhaul of Ohio’s 27-year-old collective-bargaining law, sparking angry outbursts from a pro-union crowd inside the chamber. Six Republicans joined all 10 Democrats in voting against Senate Bill 5, which passed 17-16 after about three hours of debate. The measure now heads to the GOP-dominated Ohio House, where Speaker William G. Batchelder, R-Medina, is planning an aggressive committee schedule in hopes of passing it within the next few weeks. Just to get the bill to a floor vote yesterday, Senate President Tom Niehaus, R-New Richmond, had to stack his deck yesterday, replacing Republican members on two committees because they opposed the bill and could have blocked it. Bill sponsor Sen. Shannon Jones, R-Springboro, called the bill “long-overdue reform” that would give governments more flexibility to deal with looming budget cuts. She recited some examples that local-government officials raised about collective-bargaining excess, including large sick-day payouts and rising overtime costs even as government revenue is in decline. “The list of examples goes on, and every one of them is a result of collective-bargaining agreements that are out of control,” Jones told her colleagues. “If we fail to take action, many of our state and local governments will have no other option but mass layoffs.” » Posted By boomer1949 On March 3, 2011 @ 4:43 am Did you go to the link and read the entire piece? Hits the nail on the head, and it’s unfortunate the people who should be reading it, won’t. » Posted By boomer1949 On March 2, 2011 @ 3:12 pm Have You Hugged A Teacher Lately? As the debate rages on between union busting interest and public employees hard fought fight for collective bargaining, we thought we’d take the argument back to a human level. Teachers are being vilified, demonized and under constant siege for their efforts to maintain a minimum standard for working conditions, a livable wage and adequate benefits to sustain a middle class life. Whether you are for union representation or not, we think the job itself should be considered before bitching about what a fair compensation package would be to get that job done properly and professionally. Considering what teachers are asked to accomplish with dwindling resources and a complete breakdown of acceptable social norms, we’re surprised anyone would be willing to enter the totally self-sacrificing and unrewarding profession of public classroom instruction. While it is as American as apple pie to want the best for the least, when it comes to education, it is wise to remain flexible, open-minded and willing to negotiate in good faith. Americans are demanding teachers to work miracles in classrooms across the country with class sizes exceeding 40 students. Many students are showing up hungry, angry, unmotivated, distracted, drug addicted, sexually active and worse case scenario, armed and dangerous. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/03/02/951673/-Have-You-Hugged-A-Teacher-Lately- » Posted By boomer1949 On March 2, 2011 @ 1:38 pm Sweet! » Posted By boomer1949 On March 2, 2011 @ 11:58 am jkk, It’s absolutely annoying.

Thank goodness, someone is older than me!
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.
