» Posted By boomer1949 On February 21, 2011 @ 5:58 am Hi BDM, Walker’s campaign was funded by non other than {drum roll please}the Koch Brothers. Jeeze what a surprise. http://motherjones.com/mojo/2011/02/wisconsin-scott-walker-koch-brothers » Posted By boomer1949 On February 20, 2011 @ 7:51 am [img]http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Lx9XymS3eSc/TWBMYSC9xvI/AAAAAAAAAgk/9CVxvrSPHnA/s1600/workermap.jpg[/img] http://proamlib.blogspot.com/2011/02/collective-bargaining-map-of-us-states.html » Posted By boomer1949 On February 20, 2011 @ 7:10 am For sure Whats. » Posted By boomer1949 On February 19, 2011 @ 5:22 pm Troll. We have our sources. 😉 Primarily though, they stick out like sore thumbs, » Posted By boomer1949 On February 19, 2011 @ 5:20 pm jdmn17, Personally, and speaking strictly for myself, I came here Dec. 2009. That said, I’d been “there” for awhile. Trust me, it was not what many of you have recently experienced. Seriously, and with no disrespect to our Planet leaders, I vaguely remember any of them. 🙂 However, and were it not for HITO, I doubt I would have even tested the waters,much less having made some incredible friends. Those, including yourself, I look forward to hearing from each and every day. boomer » Posted By boomer1949 On February 19, 2011 @ 5:18 pm Sorry, been out of the loop for a few hours. Is he AWOL? ***EDIT*** Welcome to The Planet UpstateSC! » Posted By boomer1949 On February 19, 2011 @ 4:58 pm Give everyone three guesses and the benefit of the doubt as to whom the GOP Gov of Wisconsin might be sucking up to, or who he has been sleeping with. Sorry folks, I’m shocked, but not surprised (can one be both?): Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker: Funded by the Koch Bros. Wisconsin Republican Governor Scott Walker, whose bill to kill collective bargaining rights for public-sector unions has caused an uproar among state employees, might not be where he is today without the Koch brothers. Charles and David Koch are conservative titans of industry who have infamously used their vast wealth to undermine President Obama and fight legislation they detest, such as the cap-and-trade climate bill, the health care reform act, and the economic stimulus package. For years, the billionaires have made extensive political donations to Republican candidates across the country and have provided millions of dollars to astroturf right-wing organizations. Koch Industries’ political action committee has doled out more than $2.6 million to candidates. And one prominent beneficiary of the Koch brothers’ largess is Scott Walker. I’ve been trying to do this the shortcut way, but go figure, it isn’t working. So, for more on this light bulb moment, please click here: http://motherjones.com/mojo/2011/02/wisconsin-scott-walker-koch-brothers Seriously all, please remind me why we are letting shit like this happen? Especially, following the dedication of those who represented the rest of us a few weeks ago in Palm Springs… » Posted By boomer1949 On February 19, 2011 @ 4:34 pm I saw yours, but the “other” Big Guy has yet to weigh in. Too busy resolving server issues. P.S. I saw your score. 😉 » Posted By boomer1949 On February 19, 2011 @ 1:10 pm Wisconsin will be Ohio’s, and every other state contemplating this path, Waterloo. Wish this were happening in Minnesota, Garrison Keillor with or without PHC, would have him begging for mercy. However, Michael Feldman could kick his ass as well. I wish Wait, Wait… would dive into this. » Posted By boomer1949 On February 19, 2011 @ 1:07 pm Any bets on “God’s” score. 😆 » Posted By boomer1949 On February 19, 2011 @ 12:55 pm Leave out the “twinkle” and just blink. » Posted By boomer1949 On February 19, 2011 @ 12:52 pm 327 out of 400 for me! Thank goodness, must be because of my age. » Posted By boomer1949 On February 19, 2011 @ 12:45 pm 😆 Good one! » Posted By boomer1949 On February 19, 2011 @ 11:09 am kes, I read the comments under the piece and most don’t think it will go anywhere. I doubt it will, but at least he called the elephant in the room an elephant. » Posted By boomer1949 On February 19, 2011 @ 10:45 am kes, I think he went off the deep end when his parents died. To answer your last question – badly beaten up? » Posted By boomer1949 On February 19, 2011 @ 10:42 am e’cat, I think in the Psych. world it’s called Projecting. Those who protest, rant, and rave the loudest are usually guilty. » Posted By boomer1949 On February 19, 2011 @ 10:40 am So, last night while I was trying to keep up with VOX, I had the local PBS station’s version of Washington Week playing in the background. I was listening more than watching. The locals brought up Wisconsin, and what is going on there. They also pointed out Governor Kasich has the same plan, or something similar for Ohio. As I was listening my blood began to boil and I dashed off the following to the station: I am sitting here listening to the program. RE: John Kasich, Budget Cuts, Collective Bargaining, Teachers, Firefighters, and all other Public Employees. Not one mention that our new Gov. and the Mrs. DO NOT send the twins to public school. and, although he was a good Representative when he went to Washington, he is NOT, is NOT the same man I voted for then. and, his connection to Lehman Brothers. Excuse me? Given the current situation and his attitude, I am deeply disheartened this man is the Governor of The State of OHIO. Sincerely, » Posted By boomer1949 On February 19, 2011 @ 9:54 am Okay. Tried to post a link at VOX. However, I’ve not been around for more than several Fridays, and have totally forgotten how. So, AH and Alphabet were interviewed by Charlie Rose. I think it was taped Thursday maybe? What a crock of shit and does CR actually believe their answers. Comment 1: She reminds me of a rat. Comment 2: “The key here is to remain passionate and whether it’s original reporting, to base it on storytelling rather than just repeating data,” In other words business as usual for the regress-o-sphere. . » Posted By boomer1949 On February 18, 2011 @ 9:01 pm bito, It’s not only Friday, it’s payday (at least for me anyway) and, it’s time for the Friday Music Thread. 😯 » Posted By boomer1949 On February 18, 2011 @ 1:18 pm Abs, It’s a bitch working for a woman, it really is. I’ve done it twice in 20+ years. Something comes over them and they feel all of this “Wonder Woman” power. Yet, they conveniently forget from whence they came. Quite frankly? The last female I had as a “boss” was a “bitch.” For sure. This woman is still with the company, I am not. Yet, old friends there wonder what the hell she does and no one likes her. They let me go, but kept her over myself. I’ve come to the conclusion she gave a much better bj than me and has the rug burns on her knees to prove it. Other than her drippy mouth, the rest of this post is pure speculation. » Posted By boomer1949 On February 17, 2011 @ 8:22 pm Primary reason I refuse to pay for cable. It’s not worth the aggravation or additional blood pressure meds. » Posted By boomer1949 On February 17, 2011 @ 7:41 pm Hey kes, How the heck are you? I thought you dropped off The Planet. That said, where the hell have you been? If you be here in the middle of the night, whilst I’m asleep, then you are off the hook. I realize our work schedules don’t mesh, and it’s a pain in the behind. It’s always been about accepting the benefits from another, but don’t ‘effing think about messing with mine. If any of them votes Republican instead of Democrat, then, oh shit, they’ll have to “suck it up” like the rest of us. Makes me want to throw up.\***side note*** It’s warm enough here for the patrons of a nearby bar to sit outside. Except none of them have a clue about climate change. Ijits, total ijits » Posted By boomer1949 On February 17, 2011 @ 7:25 pm Take a stand. Support our dedicated public employees, contributing to educating our kids (my kid is as dedicated as one can get – Kindergarten educator, preparing underprivileged kiddos for 1st grade), those risking their lives by answering thousands of 911 calls (day in and day out), putting you before themselves (or us actually), to save YOUR ass, to save your 1/2 million dollar home. What about those cleaning our streets (okay for those of us who wallow in snow this time of year, they’re a blessing), collecting your/our trash (I certainly wouldn’t want to do it, would you?) However, someone has to do it! So you want to slash & burn? Perfectly fine by me. Trust me, I have no argument with this view. However, stop putting the burden of a state or national deficit on the shoulders of those who educate your children (unless you’re snooty enough to put your kid in private school, those who come to save your 1/2 million dollar home from burning to the ground, those who come to save your life when you are having a stroke or a heart attack. Puhleeze, there are plenty of us who recognize your hypocrisy. Rest assured, we will continue to remind you 24/7 until 2012. We are far beyond the attitude of, “Do as I say, not as I do.” Sorry, neglected to include the link: http://www.facebook.com/werunited » Posted By boomer1949 On February 17, 2011 @ 6:39 pm 2CCP (no offense, I’m just lazy), I’m of the opinion that, if they choose to “sacrifice” for the “good of the fucking deficit,” then they must be willing to “own up” to their contribution to it. OMG, just think how much would slashed from the deficit if they would VOLUNTARILY be willing to do so; would certainly do wonders for the deficit, not to mention their image. Hypocrites, all of them, Crispy Critter is by far the worst. Yo, John Boy, don’t throw me under the bus, if y’all are unwilling to do the same. Seriously. » Posted By boomer1949 On February 17, 2011 @ 6:03 pm We’d be stuck in the mud.Just try getting one of those suckers out! Probably burn out the “whatever” from rocking it back and forth. » Posted By boomer1949 On February 17, 2011 @ 5:43 pm Seriously MW, neither do I. However, if we don’t keep knocking people upside the head, how will they know? » Posted By boomer1949 On February 17, 2011 @ 5:40 pm I certainly hope so. Also, rumor has it the new Gov’s. home is worth over 1/2 a million. The Gov.’s mansion didn’t cut it for the fam.; probably didn’t want to transport the kids. I must admit, when he was my Congressional Representative, he did a damn good job. After his parents died, he was “saved” and tanked. He worked at, with, and/or in cahoots with (take your pick)– LEHMAN BROTHERS! » Posted By boomer1949 On February 17, 2011 @ 5:38 pm MW, Agreed. Seriously, I hope they’re in Palm Springs. 😉 » Posted By boomer1949 On February 17, 2011 @ 5:29 pm Thumbs Up to the Public Employees in Wisconsin!!! What a REVOLUTION! Maybe the AWOL Dems are in Palm Springs. 😆 Seriously, this will set the tone for other states pondering the same approach. OHIO is next on the list. When the newly elected Republican Governor, John Kasich sends his kids to PRIVATE school and wants to eliminate Collective Bargaining for public employees, including my daughter, the Kindergarten educator in a rural, low income OHIO school district, something just ain’t right. » Posted By boomer1949 On February 17, 2011 @ 4:31 pmComments Posted By boomer1949
