At least one of them might have been on target, ‘course then we would have had Cheney. » Posted By boomer1949 On November 11, 2010 @ 3:53 am You’re welcome. Actually heard on the drive home this evening. » Posted By boomer1949 On November 10, 2010 @ 3:43 pm It’s painfully obvious…GWB thinks more of himself than most. Bush Defends His Legacy In ‘Decision Points’ The memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant are generally considered the finest by any former president. There are two secrets to Grant’s enduring success. First, the book deals almost exclusively with the period prior to Grant’s presidency, thus providing insight into the man who became president, rather than the president himself. Second, Grant in the memoir displays a capacity for sobering reflection, admitting where his mistakes during the Civil War sent thousands of soldiers needlessly to their deaths. Read An Excerpt Former President George W. Bush cites Grant’s memoir as inspiration for his own. But it differs in both crucial regards. Bush devotes one chapter and parts of a few others to his pre-presidential career, but the great majority of the book concerns his eight years in the White House. This serves his literary and political purpose, which is to make the case for his policies as president, but it does little to reveal the inner man. And the absence of broad reflection leaves some large historical questions unanswered.> Review » Posted By boomer1949 On November 10, 2010 @ 3:22 pm Didn’t that actually (not literally)like on ER, St. Elsewhere, or Law & Order? » Posted By boomer1949 On November 9, 2010 @ 5:45 am Lives? » Posted By boomer1949 On November 9, 2010 @ 5:40 am I’ve come to the conclusion that he and Limbaugh must go to the same doctor. » Posted By boomer1949 On November 9, 2010 @ 5:35 am Well, a couple of days ago I was bemoaning the fact that kes and I were doomed because the newly elected GOP Governor and tribe were going to come in and slash and burn all of Governor Strickland’s accomplishments. So, here we go: Education Will Ohio forfeit schools’ $400 million prize? Ohio could lose more than $400 million in federal Race to the Top funds if Gov.-elect John Kasich follows through with his plan to dump outgoing Gov. Ted Strickland’s education overhaul. Justin Hamilton, a spokesman for the U.S. Department of Education, said yesterday that Ohio could lose the money which it won in competition with other states if it fails to follow the proposal it offered. “States won Race to the Top based on the plans they submitted,” Hamilton said. “If any state significantly changes the plan, it will be putting all Race to the Top funding in jeopardy.”> $400 million High Speed Rail Project Passenger trains Gov.-elect John Kasich asked Gov. Ted Strickland yesterday to halt studies for a high-speed passenger-rail system, and he wants President Barack Obama to allow Ohio to use the $400 million in rail funds for roads or freight rail instead. But federal officials say the money can’t be repurposed, and Strickland, who has championed the passenger-rail project linking Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton and Cincinnati, said he will move forward with it as long as he is in office. Kasich repeatedly said before defeating Strickland in last week’s election that the rail project is not viable. He wrote to Strickland yesterday, asking him to “prevent unnecessary spending” on a project that he intends to scrap.> Passenger Trains » Posted By boomer1949 On November 9, 2010 @ 5:14 am Thanks for posting this Patsy. I added it to my FB page. Ain’t technology grand? » Posted By boomer1949 On November 9, 2010 @ 2:43 am I took your advice Khirad, and opted out of the video. I made it as far as “radicals revealing themselves” and stopped reading. The man is beyond annoying. » Posted By boomer1949 On November 9, 2010 @ 2:28 am I love it, I love it. Dissension on the right, TP included, is beginning to bubble to the surface and it’s only been a week! 😆 All the egocentric yahoos are jockeying for a position of control. If these guys, and Michelle Bachman, make it to the end of the year without self-destructing, I will be surprised. And the best part? They won’t be able to blame the Democrats. 😆
» Posted By boomer1949 On November 8, 2010 @ 4:48 pm bito, I find it quite ironic because The Dispatch endorsed him. As the saying goes, be careful what you wish for. And there will be no Democrats to blame. » Posted By boomer1949 On November 8, 2010 @ 1:24 pm bito, At first glance I thought it sade “mappinggate.” 😆 😆 » Posted By boomer1949 On November 8, 2010 @ 1:12 pm I thought it was pretty darn cool. And as I said above, it’s about time somebody tossed it right back at them. Idiots, the whole damn lot of them, bito! » Posted By boomer1949 On November 8, 2010 @ 1:08 pm No intro necessary…
» Posted By boomer1949 On November 8, 2010 @ 12:50 pm Well it looks like kes and I have much to look forward to in the coming months, however, I do believe many of those who put these guys in the Statehouse are going to have a rude awakening. Just you wait… Kasich cuts put GOP on the spot As the saying goes, be careful what you wish for. Republican John Kasich not only won the governor’s office Tuesday, voters also handed him solid GOP majorities in both houses of the legislature to enact his agenda. But with the state facing a potential $8 billion budget shortfall next year, the cuts and reforms the governor-elect has signaled he will offer could be unpopular and politically difficult for GOP lawmakers to approve, Statehouse experts say. And there will be no Democrats to blame. » Posted By boomer1949 On November 8, 2010 @ 12:38 pm Looks like another petition will be surfacing or at least a FB page. The guy looks like he is drunker thatn a skunk. Martin Erzinger, Morgan Stanley Wealth Manager, Won’t Face Felony Charges For Hit-And-Run (…more…) » Posted By boomer1949 On November 8, 2010 @ 12:18 pm Saying he sets the agenda is a load of crap, because they have no intention of compromising on anything. But, they’re willing to “work” with him as long as he meets their no-agenda-agenda 100% of the time. I called them weasels and was wrong. They’re snakes, every last one of them is a slithering snake. » Posted By boomer1949 On November 7, 2010 @ 4:07 pm Un-frickin’-believeable! But, I’m definitely not surprised. I said it last week, these weasles are going to try and strong arm the President; they actually believe they’re going to hold him hostage for the next 2 years. » Posted By boomer1949 On November 7, 2010 @ 1:37 pm Lived in MI for a few years back in the ’80s, Flint specifically. Used to go “Up North” frequently. » Posted By boomer1949 On November 7, 2010 @ 1:31 pm I didn’t need the map! 😆 » Posted By boomer1949 On November 7, 2010 @ 12:52 pm Their agenda-of-no-agenda is going to come back to haunt them, every single one of them. For starters, I hope the dissension between the TPotty people and the rank & file GOP throws both groups into a tail spin. The good-ole-rich-white-guys actually believe they’ll be able to control the newly elected TPotty people. I find it all quite amusing, actually (to a point anyway) that the 3 Musketeers don’t have a clue they’re already in the crosshairs and about to be ambushed. 🙄 » Posted By boomer1949 On November 7, 2010 @ 7:46 am kes, I’m sorry — didn’t mean to spoil your day. It’ll be headlines on the front page anyway. Least you got it from a reliable source — me! 😆 » Posted By boomer1949 On November 7, 2010 @ 7:31 am Love it Patsy. 🙂 The music is from Gilbert & Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance. My daughter was in it in high school. » Posted By boomer1949 On November 7, 2010 @ 7:09 am Ijit!! Was it Lindsey the Whiner? » Posted By boomer1949 On November 6, 2010 @ 9:34 pm Yo PatsyT… Re your question – YES – I can. boomer » Posted By boomer1949 On November 6, 2010 @ 9:33 pm Oh AB, Seriously I’m just whining — think Republican, MCconnell, Boehner, and Cantor. Of course, I am none of them, but the image is priceless. That said AB, bless your new beginnings (quasi-labor included), excitement, new family, and more love from your hearts than this young man could ever have hoped for. Enjoy the new kid on the block — your kid on the block. boomer » Posted By boomer1949 On November 6, 2010 @ 6:14 pm Neither do I b… 😉 AB’s mouse/keyboard story and subsequent rant, topped my temper tantrum by a mile. I just reread my comment — pictured one of the grand kids having a major meltdown. Geeze boomer, get a grip! » Posted By boomer1949 On November 6, 2010 @ 6:02 pm Seriously people, NurseKes stays up ’til at least 1:00 a.m. EDT on a Friday night (yes, I am less reliable) and everyone else leaves those of us East of the Mississippi hanging out to fucking dry on a Saturday night? Hellooo? Anyone home? Those with little people under the age of 18 are definitely off the hook. Been there, done that, and have more than a couple of tee-shirts to prove it. » Posted By boomer1949 On November 6, 2010 @ 5:27 pm All, Webstream: Shakin’It, John Peterson, NPR, via WCBE 90.5, Columbus (C’bus) OH. Planeteers we have cows in our state, none with four eyes as kes attests, but seriously, we do moo occasionally and, personally, John Boehner is NOT one of OUR favorite people — EVER. http://www.publicbroadcasting.net/wcbe/ppr/index.shtml » Posted By boomer1949 On November 6, 2010 @ 5:08 pmComments Posted By boomer1949
