More of Us to Love

If you haven’t seen this — it’s a real eye opener. I’m sure things have only gotten worse (not him, but “us”)since the guy made the movie
a couple of years ago.

Short-term thinking is a direct result of a instant gratification mentality.

Bless you my dear child Hope, no Catholicism intended, just being facetious. Besides I’m only a Convert and it probably doesn’t count anyway.

Nevertheless, cutting the cord is a liberating experience. I cut the cord six weeks ago. Difficult? Sure. Do I miss it now? Not. Reading what is there doesn’t represent a “collective me.” I have no regrets.

All y’all are a phenomenal group of out-spoken progressive-liberals in one way or the other. This is all I care about.

Good people with good opinions, who deserve to be heard.

Totally and Non-Super Bowl related…

The manager of Perpetuum Jazzile, Bostjan Usenik, flew in last Thursday to negotiate a June/July US tour. His last email indicated that although HE has been to the USA before, NONE of Perpetuum Jazzile has been afforded the opportunity to travel to the States. None, and I mean none of these kids has EVER been here before. That said…

Rumor has it that PJ’s tour will be East of the Mississippi, and one of the stops may very well be right here in Columbus OH. And, believe it or not, I didn’t even BEG. He told me and seemed very excited at the prospect. Go Figure!

I’ve pleaded my case to The White House, PBS, WOSU Television, WOSU Radio 89.7, NPR and WCBE 90,5 FM. Can’t think of anyone else to “annoy.”

So…if any of you should, could, or would want to fly East this Summer, I would love to welcome you to the great state of Ohio. Snow, cold weather, and Buckeye Football aside, it’s not such a horrific place to be – ‘cept when I whine about this time of year – boo hoo.

Dog, and as I’ve told AdLib, I’ll never forgive my parents for leaving San Diego (where I was born). I know, I know…whine, whine, whine. It’s 11 degrees here. Yuck!

So, if anyone might be the least bit interested in coming to Moo-town, OH this Summer, please let me know, so I have an opportunity to lobby Bostjan and secure exceptional accommodations for all.

My apologies for sounding corny, but 1) when have any of you (except for WTS) been to Ohio, 2) been East of the Mississippi, or 3) whatever reason you can come up with been to OH USA. πŸ™‚

Thanks and God Bless,

Well of course they wouldn’t want anything “on the record.” Now they can’t lie their way out of it. Our President wasn’t born yesterday — what did they expect him to do?

I must confess, this one got me as well. Do you remember Jim and Tammy Faye Baker and the PTO Club?

Talk about duplicitous organizations. Jeeze! 😈

Yes, it’s called “the Pat Robertson defense.”

Well, and I hate to admit this, back in the day, I was sucked into that whole philosophy. Eeew, I feel so, so icky! 😳

Just made a couple of quick searches trying to find out what Pat Robertson and his 700 Club were up to in 1992.

The good reverand gave a speech at the Republican National Covention.

1992 Republican Convention

Recently two reporters writing for Newsweek, Debra Rosenberg and Rebecca Sinderbran, released a piece on the MSNBC Web site about potential favors owed by the Bush administration to Evangelical Christian supporters following the 2004 election. The lead paragraph carried the incredible assertion that, at the 1992 Republican Convention in Houston, Pat Robertson had “railed against abortion and homosexuals.”

Em is caring for her sister and I think I remember Scher mentioning she was going to try to go to the trial. Remeber she talked about “press credentials” or something like that?

I do believe she was going which is probably why she hasn’t been around.

bdm,

You’re welcome. If you scroll down, I posted a couple of others, not Goldens, but cute just the same. You’ll like the Cardigans herding the cat. πŸ˜†

bito,

Yes I did. That poor dog; made me shiver just to watch. He must’ve been scared to death.

I’m glad it ended well, and he looked perfectly at home, warm, and sleeping off a harrowing experience.

stupid is a preexisting condition. why do online pedophiles, who are acutely aware of police officers posing as 12, 13, 14, 15 year old girls on the Internet continue to do stupid shit?

It’s not rocket science — what part of “we’ll get caught” don’t they understand?

e’cat…

So we’re not the only ones calling “it” out? Go figure; and there is nothing wrong with calling “it” out. Last I heard corporations are people too — oops — AH is a corporation; privately owned no less, but one and the same as all the Wall St. business moguls.

I may have opinions, but I know my weaknesses; debating is one of them. I’d fail miserably should I be confronted or challenged by someone more informed than I. Does it make me stupid? No. Does it make me less informed? Sure. Does it mean if I had my shit together I could walk all over her and her toadies? Absolutely!

For the money? Not. That’s the difference between the haves and the have nots. If one doesn’t challenge or put the brakes on a 2 year old, he eventually learns how to manipulate the system.

Well, Cleopatra has learned the ropes and unless the rats continue to gnaw away at them, she and her toadies will never fall into the gutter.

Okay Tig,

I’ll be the first to admit I’m a geek; yet there’s something about these kids that goes far beyond “Up Up With People Image,” don’t you think?

Whoa, Tiberi (R-OH) not there — I’m surprised.

On the other hand, ALL Republicans are putting party before what may very well improve the lives of many — even their own constituents. Why? Because either the don’t know any better or they hide their white sheets in the back of the linen closet.

This is not a new revelation to me, I’ve been feeling this way since last Summer. It was obvious then and certainly hasn’t changed — maybe even worse.

Dog bless the WH for forgiving, dismissing, or making excuses. These folks are pissed because they lost; not only lost, but lost to a GD African American. Two words GROW UP! Bigots & racists — all of them!

I know I’ve been all over the place today, but I meant to share this the earlier. I received an email from Perpetuum Jazziles’manager. He travels from Slovenia to the States tomorrow (Thursday 1/27/10) for 10+ days to negotiate a tour and performance schedule for PJ.

Believe it or not, Bostjan (sorry, I’m a name dropper) is the only one in the entire troupe who has been here — in the States that is. He is so excited for the rest of the group; I can’t imagine how they must feel. Nothing is set, but everything is in process.

Whoa, and he also told me that one of the stops on the tour this summer (if confirmed) may very well be right here in Cowtown, OH USA.

nellie,

I’ve looked everywhere for this particular concert. An Audience with Tina Arena, Australia, PayTV, May 2009. Can’t find anything but YouTube clips.

She also has numerous recordings in French…her voice sounds even more phenomenal in French. She has several CDs — all in French. Quite exceptional.

Unfortunately, she wasn’t as successful in the States. Yet she continues to be a favorite in Aussie land. Read her bio — her parents emigrated from Italy to Australia.
