Displaying 1,171 To 1,200 Of 3,348 Comments Well, this report flew way, way, way under the radar…I wonder why? Scary New Wage Data Every 34th wage earner in America in 2008 went all of 2009 without earning a single dollar, new data from the Social Security Administration show. Total wages, median wages, and average wages all declined, but at the very top, salaries grew more than fivefold. Not a single news organization reported this data when it was released October 15, searches of Google and the Nexis databases show. Nor did any blog, so the citizen journalists and professional economists did no better than the newsroom pros in reporting this basic information about our economy. » Posted By boomer1949 On October 25, 2010 @ 12:17 pm Either a toxic landfill or they were deprived of oxygen at birth, kes. All are a detriment to this state, oh and let’s not forget the tan man. » Posted By boomer1949 On October 24, 2010 @ 10:24 am kes, Kasich was my Congressman years ago, and he was a good guy. He had a little place in Westerville OH. Then he married money. 😉 The Dispatch had a bio thing on both candidate’s wives awhile ago. Basically, his wife said “I’m here for my man and he walks on water.” YUCK!!! I think she’s 10-11 years his junior too. He did work on Wall Street/Lehman Brothers and totally screwed up the State Pension Fund; almost as bad as Tom Noe, the coins, and the BWC debacle. » Posted By boomer1949 On October 24, 2010 @ 10:07 am Patsy, I think bito meant David, especially if he’s hangin’ out with Andrea Mitchell… “birds of a feather”. » Posted By boomer1949 On October 23, 2010 @ 11:44 am RepubliCorp strikes again…

It’s just very sad that our country is populated with so many ignorant people so easily scammed. Not “people” AdLib, “MORANS”! 🙄 » Posted By boomer1949 On October 23, 2010 @ 3:11 am …the cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoon… My kitties are going crazy — and it means a FULL MOON! It’s going to be a very long day.
» Posted By boomer1949 On October 23, 2010 @ 2:54 am Maybe he’ll be shamed into resigning. I doubt it though, he had no shame as he threw Anita Hill under the bus. The sad thing about all of it is the way she was treated as she testified. And, he lied, plain as day, the bastard lied, ruined her life, and laughed all the way to the bench. » Posted By boomer1949 On October 22, 2010 @ 11:28 am 😉 😉 😉 » Posted By boomer1949 On October 22, 2010 @ 10:43 am Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus! Lillian McEwen breaks her 19-year silence about Justice Clarence Thomas Maybe we’ll get lucky and he’ll resign! 👿 » Posted By boomer1949 On October 22, 2010 @ 10:20 am Good, and I hope they can’t appeal either. » Posted By boomer1949 On October 22, 2010 @ 9:41 am Done! 😉 » Posted By boomer1949 On October 22, 2010 @ 9:40 am Okey dokey now, 1) So I lose credibility – can’t be any worse than the MSM — how do we really feel about MSM, NPR, O’Reilly, and Juan Williams? 2) Was Mr. Williams playing both sides against the middle? 3) Does the fact he was an independent contractor with NPR give him more latitude than if he were solely under the employ of NPR? Doubt it. 4) Does his 2 year, 3K contract (sorry I might have it reversed) with Faux News damage his credibility? Absolutely. 5) Is he related to Mr. Steele? Probably. 5) Does NPR have a leg to stand on and does this organization have more cajonnes than PBS’s sucking up to the Koch bros? Personally? This is how I feel… What goes around, comes around, and all of the liars, cheats, and “take advantage of the poor and middle-class-entrepreneurs” will pay in the end. Count on it. » Posted By boomer1949 On October 21, 2010 @ 4:48 pm Patsy, Done and also posted to my Facebook page. You’ve hidden behind your Justice robe for too long and now you’re hiding behind your wife’s skirt. By the way, how was the party with the Koch brothers? » Posted By boomer1949 On October 21, 2010 @ 2:52 pm Take a look see at HuffPos main. » Posted By boomer1949 On October 21, 2010 @ 12:42 pm Well, well, well now… BREAKING: Shortly after secret meeting with Koch network, Beck cited Charles Koch on-air This morning, the New York Times and Think Progress broke news that Koch Industries, the conservative/libertarian manufacturing conglomerate headed up by billionaires Charles and David Koch, is planning a meeting in January to “develop strategies to counter the most severe threats facing our free society and outline a vision of how we can foster a renewal of American free enterprise and prosperity.” As reported by the Times, the “Koch network meets twice a year to plan and expand its efforts.” Their most recent meeting took place in Aspen, Colorado, in June of this year to strategize about the upcoming elections, and featured none other than Fox News’ own Glenn Beck, who gave a talk about whether America is on the “Road to Serfdom.” The Aspen meeting took place the weekend of June 26-27. On Tuesday, June 29, Beck attacked Al Gore and his film An Inconvenient Truth on his Fox News program. In the middle of his screed about climate science and GDP, Beck said: “I want to thank Charles Koch for this information.” » Posted By boomer1949 On October 20, 2010 @ 1:42 pm From Media Matters: It’s time to drop Fox. “I believe no responsible company should advertise on Fox News due to its recent and on-going deplorable conduct.” » Posted By boomer1949 On October 20, 2010 @ 1:33 pm My son in-law just posted this on his Facebook page: Son in-law is totally sick of the political ads on television. I get it…you’re awesome, the other guy sucks. » Posted By boomer1949 On October 20, 2010 @ 12:54 pm And those citizens are impatient, spoiled, selfish… insert any description of melt-down-toddler- behavior here… » Posted By boomer1949 On October 20, 2010 @ 12:50 pm bito, and you can bet it won’t be the lead story on Faux News this evening either. » Posted By boomer1949 On October 20, 2010 @ 12:27 pm Ah, but 8 years of the last decade were signed, sealed, and delivered by Bush&Co, a subsidiary of all the high rollers in this country. Such dishonesty and greed is disgusting, and I still wonder how these guys can sleep at night. Ooops, I forgot, none of them have a conscience.
» Posted By boomer1949 On October 20, 2010 @ 12:24 pm Why am I not surprised? Justices Scalia And Thomas’s Attendance At Koch Event Sparks Judicial Ethics Debate I wonder if they’ve been invited to the soiree in January? » Posted By boomer1949 On October 20, 2010 @ 12:06 pm All I can say is it’s about time they did something!

Self, you don’t waste your money on tabloids at the market, why waste your time reading their kissin’ cousin? » Posted By boomer1949 On October 19, 2010 @ 4:37 pm Sarah Palin clone perhaps? » Posted By boomer1949 On October 19, 2010 @ 4:26 pm Makes me wonder why they’ve looked the other way for so long and it’s no wonder the aggressiveness has trickled down to kids — and their parents… NFL must enforce rules, hit back » Posted By boomer1949 On October 19, 2010 @ 4:23 pm And bito, it’s only gotten worse since Citizens United; thank you very much SCOTUS. » Posted By boomer1949 On October 19, 2010 @ 12:21 pm kes, I must feign ignorance. I had no idea the Brothers Koch had a stake in PBS. Now everything makes sense **as the lightbulb goes off in her head**! 🙄 » Posted By boomer1949 On October 19, 2010 @ 12:13 pm It ain’t what it used to be…and the statistics are an eyeopener.
