Displaying 1,051 To 1,080 Of 3,348 Comments I wonder why 3 adult women (Mom, Grandma, & Auntie) could EVER, EVER think a 3 year old would enjoy spending 2-3 hours in DSW (Designer Show Warehouse)? Why? Poor little girl, it was obviously, obviously her lunch and/or nap time. Even more annoying was when those same 3 adult women turned it into a battle and blamed the kid for having a meltdown. Seriously, it was all I could do to keep my mouth shut, especially when Grandma slapped the little girl and Mommy looked the other way. Absolutely disgusting, and now I feel guilty for not speaking up. » Posted By boomer1949 On November 27, 2010 @ 12:04 pm Didn’t last very long, did it? What a kick in the teeth to the vast majority in this country struggling to make ends meet and looking at a very depressing holiday season. Add this to the looming deadline for Unemployment Compensation to be extended is like pouring salt into an open wound. Wall Street Excess Is Back: Hiring A Dwarf For A Bachelor Party, $40,000 Cell Phones Wall Street bankers hiring a dwarf for an over-the-top bachelor party in Miami. Nieman Marcus selling out its 100 limited-edition $75,000 Camaros in three minutes. Socialites dropping $40,000 on a custom cellphone at a jewelry store in Chicago. An investment analyst at Goldman Sachs who hired hip-hop queen Lil’ Kim to perform for 1,000 guests at his annual Halloween party last month. What is this — 2006? Though the unemployment rate remains near 10 percent with millions of Americans about to run out of their jobless benefits, one in five Americans are using food stamps to buy groceries and small businesses are being forced to slash their work forces to stay alive, Wall Street’s top bankers and wealthy investors are spending to excess, indulging their every whim. » Posted By boomer1949 On November 24, 2010 @ 10:57 am Khirad, Drives me nuts, drives me nuts. How does one fight that shit? How? I’m college educated, but also no Einstein or John Nash, but, but…I’m not stupid either. Somewhere along the line, one hopes to gain (okay I’m giving a lot of leeway here) common sense and the cognitive ability to simply THINK. What has happened to the ability for people to THINK for him or herself; not being led by the nose down a non-existent yellow brick road? On the other hand, I sincerely believe the GOP is a fraternity of bigots and racists and has been feeding itself on individuals who either are, or were, cut from the same cloth. Only difference is the GOP fraternity does not have the balls to pull the white sheets out of the linen closet; they leave this up to the sheeples. They hate, absolutely hate the fact they lost the election to a Black man and that he and his family are “degrading the sanctity” of the White House by actually living there. God love President Obama, however he should really take the time to kick back and have a couple of drinks with some of us (the folks who put him where he is today); off the record, sans the media, sans lobbyists, sans Congressional leadership; unorchestrated, no photo-op, just a chat. I’m sure he would get an earful and then some. **PS – and I wasn’t being critical of the “cut and paste.” I do it all the time. 😉 » Posted By boomer1949 On November 22, 2010 @ 5:56 pm That’s not how the headline reads though; those yahoos, anything to get someone to click…and way open to reader comprehension, doncha’ think? ‘EXHAUSTED’ OBAMA DEFENDER LOSES JOB Never mind Congress went home for the Thanksgiving recess, family gatherings, hugs & kisses, and last but not least FOOD on the table. However, millions of Americans are worried about how they will feed their families, make it through the Holidays and be able to sleep at night. Not to mention inside-the-beltway-politicians continue to ridicule the unemployed for being lazy and not trying hard enough. I wonder when was the last time Boehner, McConnell, Cantor, Gov.-Elect Kasich or any other self-righteous Republican had to worry about how to pay the mortgage, feed the family, put gas in the car, keep his/her job and deflect being called a lazy, SOB? There’s no comparison between having to go to a food pantry and being able to spend “the sky is the limit” at the supermarket. Spam? Turkey? Boxed mashed potatoes or the real deal? Stove Top or homemade? Thanksgiving dinner in a brown paper grocery bag from the food pantry or a cart full of handpicked fresh stuff, carried home in 75-100 plastic bags from Kroger? What would you choose for your family? It is a shame. It is a shame. It is a disgrace to what our country is “supposed” to be about and, personally? For me it’s a disgrace and embarrassing as hell. » Posted By boomer1949 On November 22, 2010 @ 5:03 pm Yes, and he is slightly “round” don’t you think? Kenzie has taken to sitting between me and the keyboard, especially first thing in the morning, after her breakfast. Every time I touch the mouse, she head butts my hand. They do whatever it takes to get attention and remind us computers are inanimate, unfeeling objects. » Posted By boomer1949 On November 22, 2010 @ 4:42 pm Q, Isn’t he just the cutest? Loves the camera and is becoming an International sensation.

Journalist? For sure. Ponies? Our fearless leader AL, as we affectionately call him, is the only one with the ability to dole out ponies; plus he has that direct line to God thingy going on, ya’ know? Actually? I’m still mystified by all of it. Yet, anyone else? Not; especially if a rhinestone encrusted, non-chafing saddle is not included. btw…the pony in the back seat? At least 100 kitties from Cat Welfare or kalima’s rescue unit could replace the little guy/gal. 😆 » Posted By boomer1949 On November 17, 2010 @ 7:43 pm k’es & bito, CYA, but it doesn’t mean she (or her staff) doesn’t find you credible, eh?

The Bronze Weasel and his Homies. ‘fer sure! PS — My dear, sweet son in-law has (through absolutely no fault of his own) has been unemployed far beyond the 99ers. My “kids” live in a small NW Ohio city; there are absolutely NO jobs available for him there. None. Nada. Zip. Zero. So, here is my kid, supporting the two of them (with her B.S. and M.A. in Education); he has his unemployment. Of course, the a-hole Repukes are blocking the extension, once again, for no other reason than their lack of respect for the first African-American POTUS and those who have been suffering, struggling since what’s his name divested himself and took flight on 1/20/2009. My hope is the selfish, self-indulgent assholes have not had a descent’s night sleep since 1/20/2009. However, it’s only a hope, not a reality. The “Boehner Boys” could care less or give a flying fuck ’bout anyone or anything other than themselves. Thank goodness, and other than her students, these two have no children. I understand and deeply respect their decisions at this time in their lives. boomer » Posted By boomer1949 On November 17, 2010 @ 4:56 pm TAKE ACTION: Tell John Boehner and his boys: your leadership needs to reflect America, not just your cronies » Posted By boomer1949 On November 17, 2010 @ 1:13 pm Has anyone posted this? GOP frosh: Where’s my health care? Republican Andy Harris, an anesthesiologist who defeated freshman Democrat Frank Kratovil on Maryland » Posted By boomer1949 On November 16, 2010 @ 10:33 am Dear Congress (Lame Duck, Boehner’s Boys, McConnell’s Munchkins, et.al.): When it comes to HCR: “we the people,” the taxpayers in this country, literally foot the bill for your health care insurance and your benefits; even your EAP JB, even your EAP. Excuse me white guys (except for John Boy) behaving badly, but seriously now, why are you so special? Why should you or any member of your family receive more than any other family in “Anywhere USA?” Entitlement, because you were elected to the House or the Senate? Not. There is a huge responsibility attached to your elected position, and sorry, you are not supposed to play favorites. Nobody told you? Unacceptable — can’t play favorites. You represent every constituent and not any Lobbyist. Because you are “serving your country?” Puhleeze, do not pull that crap on me; you are not doing anyone any favors. A five year old from “Anywhere USA” contracts Whooping Cough because her family a) has no insurance, b) has insurance, but it does not cover immunizations, c) y’all decided to repeal HCR, d) all of the above. Please explain your thought process? Why are your five year old children or grandchildren “more deserving” than any other five year old in this country? A little kid guys, please enlighten me. Please enlighten me. Who died and made you the anointed one? Who, pray tell, who? I would be very interested to hear your explanation and/or justification for putting your child/grandchild above any other child in this country. If you argue or attempt to justify, then you have no character, are only concerned with the well-being of you and your immediate family, and are completely self-indulgent. John, Mitch, Eric and your self-serving followers…this one is for you guys, this one is for you. None of us will let up, we will be relentless, and you will wish you had never swept the midterms. » Posted By boomer1949 On November 15, 2010 @ 5:21 pm Well now: If this is the true nature of things, then should it not be put out there, on the front page and not buried between the classifieds and pet adoptions? Oops, sorry, only speaking for the perception and message. I think it used to be called investigative reporting/journalism. Maintain integrity, ethics, and due diligence. Kinda’? Sorta’? Translation oil wholesalers, retailers, and organizations providing assistance…I completely lost my train of thought. Had an above average piece, to present, but absolutely and totally flew in one ear and out the other. Soon, address, clothes Swiss/much omelette. » Posted By boomer1949 On November 13, 2010 @ 7:47 pm Tanks dear. Amazing, I am and not…a Buckeye fan. Went there 2 years so I guess it counts, yet my youngest received her Master’s last June, walked the walk in the Shoe and celebrated at the Varsity Club after. Okey dokey admin & editors…what am I missing in the ‘structions to post images? Thought I’ve been following them to a T, but every time I try, no image posts and a bunch gobbly gook appears instead. Everyone else (I’m developing a complex) seems to have it down to a science, but I must be missing something somewhere. Please enlighten me — email is fine. Make it simple. 1., 2., 3., 4., then, 5., etc. Not stoopid, just need the steps. » Posted By boomer1949 On November 13, 2010 @ 5:59 pm Yes dear one, it’s tabloid 24/7. ‘course those of us who saw it in the cards many moons ago, it is of no surprise.

Amazing how outspoken the SCOTUS has become in the last 8+ years.. What the hell ever happened to FOLLOWING the fucking law? Thought these guys (gals not included here, because we’re talking good-ole’boy-white-guy-club) were supposed to interpret it, not interpret it with their personal feelings, outlook, beliefs included. Alito, Scalia, Thomas, aka the Three RWNC Musketeers, who collectively have no balls when it comes to “interpreting the WRITTEN/LEGISLATED law verbatim? No…these guys are full of themselves and would rather skate than follow the letter of. IMHO — they’re all being paid under the table by someone (and it ain’t the Obama Administration – for sure). Everything has a price and, as far as I’m concerned, the highest court in the USA is not immune from scrutiny or investigation. If I am not above the law, then neither should those who may one day judge me. » Posted By boomer1949 On November 13, 2010 @ 5:43 pm Did they win? Did they win? OH-IO not PSU?

In rare public debate, Justice Scalia admits to not caring about intentions behind laws One of the most conservative justices on the U.S. Supreme Court and one of the most liberal ones sparred Friday over capital punishment, the direct election of senators and various other constitutional questions during a rare public debate that highlighted their philosophical differences. Antonin Scalia, 74, the longest-serving current justice, appointed by Republican President Ronald Reagan, and Stephen Breyer, 72, appointed by Democrat Bill Clinton, shared the stage in front of a crowd of thousands during a West Texas event organized by Texas Tech University Law School. They particularly clashed on the question of capital punishment. » Posted By boomer1949 On November 13, 2010 @ 2:41 pm bito, bito, bito. ’nuff said. 🙂 » Posted By boomer1949 On November 13, 2010 @ 2:36 pm This man (Rep. Boehner, ’cause it is his current job description) has functioned and operated INSIDE the DC/political beltway for 20+ years. Oh gee, what a conundrum. Is he or isn’t he part and parcel to the friggn’ problem? Shouldn’t he be considered a “Washington Insider?” Yet, he continues to point his happy-hour-fingers at others, refusing to accept any responsibility for the state of affairs in this country. Pot, kettle? Whatever John, get a clue. Faux tan, real alcohol, real 5 p.m. DC Happy Hours, and Mr. Boehner, 20+ years representing your constituents in SW (Hamilton County) OH? John Boy, I have family and extended family living in your district and they did not vote for you. You, Mr. Boehner, are (and have been) a contributor to the problems in the State of Ohio and the USA. I have and have had relatives who chose a similar path to yours, Mr. Boehner. Y’all, including my father, have left a bigoted and bad taste in my mouth. If you believe your stint as “pretend Speaker of the House” is going to be a walk in the park, then you are delusional and your brain is fried. I certainly hope you are prepared for challenge and controversy, John, because some of us will be on your ass all day, every day, for as long as it takes to prove you and your GOP colleagues are not only bigots, but also opportunists, and maybe (probably) even “under-the-radar-tea-party-activists.” IMHO, John? I think y’all are just pissed off that a Black Man is POTUS and is living in “your White House!” Well John Boy, stupid is as stupid does, and many of us can see the wool before it is pulled over our eyes. We are not fooled; rest assured JB, we will not let your racist, bigoted agenda send this country back 40 or 50 years. Count on it John Boy; you can take it to the bank. btw John, where are the jobs? Have you solved the job crisis yet? Have you balanced the fucking budget? If not, WHY not? No excuses now, John. You, Eric, and Mitch have had plenty of time to FIX IT. Ya’ know? After all it’s been one week and surely you have fixed something by now, haven’t you? Sorry, didn’t hear you, did you say something? What’s the hold up guys?
