Un(der)reported News, Saturday Edition

Okey dokey friends,

Someone has undoubtedly posted this, I’ve signed it, yet in my Saturday night fog, have forgotten whether I did or didn’t. πŸ™

However, Tim Tebow and his mother Pam are in a commercial that is likely to air during Super Bowl XLIV, but may be rife with inaccuracies, according to power lawyer Gloria Allred.

The ad,

which is expected to promote an anti-choice message, will be based on the theme “Celebrate Family, Celebrate Life.” The Christian conservative group Focus on the Family has paid for the spot. James Dobson, the group’s founder, has a history of inflammatory statements and once said that gay marriage will “destroy the earth.”

Nevertheless, it’s important, and in this community, regardless of ones personal opinion or philosophy, the topic does not qualify as a “commercial/corporate” advertisement during a freakin’Super Bowl Game.

First of all, this topic is extremely personal in nature, often religiously motivated, and pretty much NOBODIES business. So, why, other than MONEY, is this commercial being aired somewhere between, tires, soft drinks, beer, pizza, and whatever the Hell else some company has walked off the pier for?

If CBS runs this “anti-choice commercial” (commercial, an anti-choice commercial, now how silly does that sound?); one cannot compare having or not having an abortion to buying or not buying 4 radial tires.

Unbelievable…could I do it…I doubt it. Would I unload my decision on another woman…not. My decision is mine. Mine, I own it. What another woman chooses to do is entirely up to her and none of my business.

Where’s our Mr. Bopp?

nellie,

See?

This is exactly my point. I’m 60 years old, somewhat naive (still and Dog forbid), trusting, not evil, and much like President O, believes “man if we can’t rely on each other, then who, pray tell, will we be able to rely on?”

Why in Dog’s name must everything be religiously or politically motivated? There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to aspire to “getting along, just for the sake of getting along.” Live and let live. Jeeze!

Whether we like it or not, we all reside on the same planet (beliefs may be different), but all of us want to live and enjoy life. Respect every nation, its people, its culture, and (personally?) reserving my opinion as my own and not the preconceived opinion of someone with a desire to stir the pot.

I took the “test” and I’m hovering right there with the Dali Lhama and Ghandi. OMG, my father the bigot, would be totally ashamed of me, but guess what? He disowned me years ago because I disagreed with him. πŸ™‚

Whatsie my dear,

Please start now to develop the appropriate artwork…you and Dr. Suits + that God Guy, are a major team! Just don’t forget us “little people” and I’m not referring to…

How’s your weekend so far?

O-H-I-O! I know, you’ve not been here for awhile, yet I enjoy messing with you! πŸ™‚

joann davidson…

To the best of my knowledge Ms. Davidson no longer holds an office in “go Bucks” O-H-I-O. That said, she has been around for a very long time (I even voted for her in the past). This is what popped up at the top of a Google search:

http://www.jadleadershipinstitute.com/

And then there is John Kasich running for the GOP nominee for Governor, and I hate to say it, Strickland may not stand a snowball’s chance for a second term. John K., on the other hand, is younger, more appealing, heck I loved the guy twenty years ago πŸ˜‰ I knew where he stood then, but now, I’m not so sure. Yet, I really don’t think he is a Neo-Con RW Republican.

john kasich…

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Kasich

I no longer live in the district and he has been out of the mainstream for quite some time. So, my opinion is based on where he was and not where he is.

bito,

Sorry for the delay. I’ve been commenting to dear nellie and was carried away. Will be back in a few to give you more info. πŸ™‚

bito,

When I saw the Jo Ann Davidson connection? I was “blinded by the light” — πŸ˜‰

Jo Ann Davidson? She is from my state and an accomplice to this crap?

Keep an eye out for John Kasich. He intends to run for Governor of OH. He was my Congressman many years ago and had an enormous backing. I even liked him. However, given all the nonsense we’ve seen of late, I wouldn’t be surprised if he isn’t being funded behind the scenes. John and Jo were from the same district for a very long time, and I can’t imagine they aren’t friends at some level.

President Obama Confronts the GOP Head On

K,

I don’t doubt for one minute it wasn’t a power move. He has gone so very long on the defensive. If there is one thing I’ve learned in life, it is much better to be proactive than reactive.

President Obama called the bluff, caught them by surprise, told the truth, and it’s all on tape, YouTube, and MSM. Anyone can screw around with a “tease,” but it’s very hard to dismiss the actual visual — recorded for posterity.

I’ve thought from the beginning that President Obama would continue to extend his hand for compromise. Eventually, he will be able to say, “I tried, and they wouldn’t play fair. So, all bets are off.”

» Posted By boomer1949 On January 29, 2010 @ 5:58 pm

Hope,

I am beyond ecstatic he called “their bluff” and I’m also glad he told them “the cameras continue to role.” Bet they gulped and crossed their fingers. Our President had them in the cross hairs — damned if they did — damned if they didn’t.

If nothing else, he certainly proved a point. They are stubborn, insolent children.

javaz,

Not to mince words or opinions, Boehner is a prick, has an attitude, and undoubtedly charges his “faux tan” back to his constituents as a business expense.

btw — I’m from O-H-I-O — and am embarrassed by this man.

» Posted By boomer1949 On January 29, 2010 @ 5:34 pm

bito,

Thanks for the compliment, but I’m not as “young” as you may think my dear.

On the other hand, I strive to follow the proper etiquette of The Planet — you know — speaking my mind yet respecting the opinions of my fellow Planeteers.

If you want to know how I really feel please ask AdLib to send me your e-mail address. πŸ™‚

Hope,

You took the word right out of my mouth. πŸ™‚

As I just told Em, I’m from O-H-I-O and thank goodness I’m not in his district.

Plus, I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired of all the pundits and opiners dissecting every word, phrase, wink, blink, sigh, shrug, and any other shit they think they can tear apart.

I rarely have negative comments about PBS, but as I’m typing, I’m listening to “Washington Week” and I’m very annoyed with Gwen Iffel and the folks sitting around the table with her tonight. Actually, I’m pissed off; for the first time ever — and I am a contributor.

Why? Please explain to me why our society has come to the point where we rely on subjective, critical opinions rather than our own individual process.

Welcome home Em. I hope you sister is doing well.

Yes, the President was brilliant.

Yes, Boehner “looked like his face would crack” — due to over toasting and/or too many layers of the stuff in the tube.

Is he really that oblivious to reaction to his “Orange-Glow?”

btw — I’m in O-H-I-O

Patsy,

This link takes you to a WordPress Smilies page. Print it out. It’s not hard and if I can do it, believe me, anyone can.

πŸ˜† πŸ˜† πŸ˜† πŸ˜† I feel so empowered!

Hope,

Boehner is, is, is, a Crispy Critter with an attitude.

tb92,

They really didn’t want it, but were taken by surprise and caught in the cross hairs. Refuse? Ooops. Agree? Still an Ooops. Damned if they didn’t and damned if they did.

As you said…brilliant!

Very smart Patsy, he is very smart. And, maybe, just maybe, he has had an opportunity to read some of the “Contact Us” notes many of us have sent.

KQ,

They deserve to be chastised, they are petty, and they don’t want to help anyone but themselves.

And, with all due respect, I don’t believe for one minute he was trying to get the voters on his side. He called their (the GOP) bluff, and I am sure they are now sorry they asked him to come.

And, he was open to keeping the cameras rolling when the Caucus Leadership was opposed to the idea.

Jeeze, that’s a no brainer. Recorded for posterity so nobody can create “their own reality.”

» Posted By boomer1949 On January 29, 2010 @ 4:31 pm

As my mother used to say, “in one ear and out the other.”

» Posted By boomer1949 On January 29, 2010 @ 4:23 pm

66+ minutes he gave them.

No teleprompter, extemporaneous, and finally, in a polite, congenial way told them “You lie.”

He also called out the MSM for stirring the pot, something which should have been done ages ago.

One thing I found most interesting was the reaction by many in the caucus, including Eric Cantor, felt they were receiving a lecture. Well, when you behave like insolent children, a lecture will surely follow.

I think he did a great job, and as I was watching, I could only imagine how GWB would have faired under similar circumstances. On the other hand, GWB would have sent Cheney

The Argument Against Obama

AdLib,

One Q…have you watched or listened to today’s Q & A session between President Obama and the Republican Caucus?

If you have, I would like to know what you think. If you haven’t, please do, and I still would like to know what you think.

One more thing…several of us here took this test @ http://www.politicalcompass.org For me personally, I wound up in the general vicinity of the Dali Lhama and Ghandi.

Warmer Than My Heart

WTS,

Excellent! And here is my round of appreciation…

How do you fight SAD?

He always looks sauced. I hate his ties, and I wonder if he wears blue contacts.

kes,

And less ORANGE I might add. πŸ˜†

PS – I’m from OH and thankfully I am not in his district.

» Posted By boomer1949 On January 28, 2010 @ 4:23 pm

bdm,

I wouldn’t even be that kind. Drop the “head” and add an “R” after the “e.” heh, heh πŸ˜‰

And yes, you certainly can. I used it frequently when I was still over there.

» Posted By boomer1949 On January 28, 2010 @ 4:20 pm

kes,

You don’t want to be a “Crispy Critter” — it’s my nickname for John Boehner.
