Santorum = a light-up bobble headed Jesus (why settle for Pope?) Paul – Lincoln logs by which to make slave quarters. Mitt – all of the above in everyone else’s suggestions. America if they elect any of them? “Sorry!” » Posted By choicelady On March 21, 2012 @ 6:06 pm GREAT things here again, thank you! Right down to Joan Blondell in the Golddiggers 1933 clip. The fact I recognized her makes me feel VERY smug! Thank you for keeping up on the less prominent info on Trayvon’s murder – but knowing his girlfriend heard ALL of it is absolutely heartbreaking. Your sources are ones we’d not otherwise come across, and thank you for all that, too. The Ryan budget info will be put to very good use as will all the health care info. You cannot imagine how much work you often save me as I put together information for our members. Wow – I am SO grateful to you for everything you find! I hope being “back in the saddle” on the Daily Planet is proving OK? I really DO love the links since then I can email the stories to myself for filing. But if that is what caused you to nearly make yourself bald from hair tearing, then YOU decide. If we have the urls, we can cut and paste – just a small extra step. Do NOT make yourself crazy please? We love you and want this to be a labor of love NOT insanity! GREAT to have you and the DP back! Thank you, thank you for all you do! » Posted By choicelady On March 21, 2012 @ 2:05 pm Oh Sally and KT – those ARE LOL suggestions!!!!! » Posted By choicelady On March 21, 2012 @ 3:31 pm Well – while I LOVE it, how do we cover Ann Coulter? » Posted By choicelady On March 21, 2012 @ 3:25 pm LOL!!! I’m SO glad you like “Lamb” – it’s one of the funniest AND most beautiful books EVER. I had no idea my BD was so exalted! It IS the first day of Spring, so I should have assumed someone, somewhere was celebrating, and knowing I’m in sync with the Persian New Year Norooz is very cool! If I celebrate like it’s 1500, does that mean I get to roast the fatted lamb? Poor lamb! I had shrimp last night – hard to feel as much empathy for them. Should. Don’t. Enjoy the rest of the book – the very last bit of the ending is multi-layered and a wonderful joke – a great laugh and “Oh YEAH” at the same time. » Posted By choicelady On March 21, 2012 @ 9:56 am I’m looking for it, dear bito! That tricorn looked good on Frances – not on me! I second Cher – SO good to see you, and if it’s part time, that’s GREAT. We miss you terribly when you’re not here! <<<<<<>>>>>>> » Posted By choicelady On March 21, 2012 @ 9:50 am I want the one that says “Sluts vote, too!” » Posted By choicelady On March 21, 2012 @ 9:49 am OMG – say it ain’t so! Orthodox Jews don’t think CHRISTIANS are fully human???? That is sooooo funny since Dominionists think Jews aren’t either!!!! I used to be outside women’s clinics with Dominionists and Tridentine Catholics (not QUITE the level of Opus Dei) who all, for whatever reason, used to confide in me about the other. THEY were allies, I was the enemy, but…they could not resist telling me their ally was going to hell for believing (fill in the blank). I found it both sad and incredibly funny. Now how in the world will Ann Coulter react when she finds out Jews think SHE needs to be “perfected”. Mind blowing that. It is the desire, deep within the breast of every absolutist, to control people other than themselves that binds these people as one. If they could just get over their blindness, they’d find happy synchronisity with an imam or two from the Wahabbi cults. They don’t know what they’re missing! At the core while there IS a religious war going on, it will be between liberals and conservatives, never mind where they come from. Only dark side – the conservatives are all willing to kill the rest of us. It’s going to be a tough century ahead. We may well prevail, but it won’t be pretty. The new Inquisition if the conservatives get power. Happy birthday to hubby – good day upon which to be born. I have LOTS of friends who are Ides of March folks. ALL the best people it looks like including our bookkeeper’s brand new baby now five days old. Apparently it was a bad day for only Julius. The rest of those born on the Ides? Good day overall. Thanks for restarting the Planet on mine though – perfect gift. Thank you for all the GREAT work you do for us! » Posted By choicelady On March 20, 2012 @ 5:03 pm Thanks for the birthday gift – the DAILY PLANET is back! Could NOT be happier! Opus Dei has major intersections with Dominionists indeed – and the Church is too blind to see it. Dominionists think the Roman Catholic church is “the whore of Babylon” and make alliances around sexual issues in preparation for infiltrating and taking over Catholic congregations and eventually the church. Those Catholics who think this is a lovely, cozy pairing of fundamentalists and conservative Catholics really need to keep their back to the wall at all times. » Posted By choicelady On March 20, 2012 @ 4:10 pm Huffington Post Openly Launches Campaign to Attack Obama I don’t think so – the mouth is too wide. And what’s up with the large white paw on her left hand? Is that a cast? Anyway, these are pretty emaciated and hard lookin’ women. I once sat next to Jane Fonda and did not recognize her because she had on a long wig and was scrawny as hell. I figured her for a Beverly Hills divorcee looking to score and pretending at 60 to look 20. Pitiful. My dining companion recognized her voice, and then I realized how AWFUL Jane looked even if she’d NOT had on the wig. It has never been my goal in life to look as if all the juice dried up. » Posted By choicelady On March 19, 2012 @ 9:11 pm I have to disagree. Millard Fillmore fulfilled them all. He just didn’t have many, and they were totally without substance. THAT is how you fulfill your campaign promises – make ’em out of cotton candy and voila – you can get them done just fine. » Posted By choicelady On March 19, 2012 @ 9:06 pm LOL!!! Well, then, OK – so long as she thinks mud is just mud and doesn’t know the deep secret of politics as mud. She deserves to keep her happy outlook on life a few more years! And if turning the hose on you makes her laugh, then good for you. Goooood Dad! » Posted By choicelady On March 19, 2012 @ 9:02 pm Child abuse! » Posted By choicelady On March 19, 2012 @ 7:53 pm Snark – why to GOP men get to be tubby and GOP women look like scarecrows? Cannot figure that out. » Posted By choicelady On March 19, 2012 @ 7:42 pm Wow – AdLib that is awesome! She is and always was someone about whom I was deeply skeptical. When she kept writing “Middle class – Obama’s just not that into you” while he was FIGHTING for policies benefiting us, I kept wondering – whom does she think IS middle class? It’s not she herself. Oh, noooooo. I gave up on her ages ago when she ran for Governor against Ah-nold. She was SO pushy that in the ONE debate he deigned to give, when he was asked how he’d solve the CA budget crisis and as he was starting to show he had no clue, SHE butted in and started talking thereby leaving him free NOT TO ANSWER AND SHOW HIS IGNORANCE. I once upon a time thought she was just pushy, but now I’m wondering if she wasn’t his shill to do precisely that – provide cover. She’s hopeless. If Emoprogs and other fellow groupies have not figured out what a phony she is and that she uses them to shill for her, they are too stupid to live. » Posted By choicelady On March 19, 2012 @ 4:01 pm A Psychiatrist’s Perspective on Obama: “His work is not done. Our need is still real.” Suspicious people on every corner? Probably means you’re sane. They aren’t the government so much anymore. They’re the leftovers and wannabes from the last one. Scary dudes and dudettes. I know them all too well. SueinCA and I do extremist monitoring – we’re watching over our shoulders a lot, too. The suspicious people really ARE out to get you. » Posted By choicelady On March 19, 2012 @ 12:19 pm Dziekuje. » Posted By choicelady On March 19, 2012 @ 12:16 pm BTW – did anyone mention how much you and I look alike? Maybe we’re related – both from the “Chess Pawn” family… So double welcome if our avatars show we’re cousins or something. » Posted By choicelady On March 18, 2012 @ 2:16 pm So Murph – where’s the Polish? » Posted By choicelady On March 18, 2012 @ 2:02 pm Welcome indeed BourneID! » Posted By choicelady On March 18, 2012 @ 12:54 pm Murph and kes- I very much agree that the real “find” of the day was not the caucus but this psychiatrist. I’d known something of the increase in suicide rates in the early days of the Great Depression and yes, feared it would happen again. I had a most unusual experience – I sat about 20 feet from Obama during the CA state Democratic convention. I was overwhelmed by his presence, and that was even given a very personal meeting backstage with Dennis Kucinich whom I then liked. Obama’s speech was so measured, so value-laden, so compassionate and kind, and I’ve never lost that in the intervening years. I cried with sheer joy the night he won the election – it was historic, momentous, powerful for our nation, but I felt as if a friend had won. It’s a puzzlement to me that both Left and Right mock his calm. It’s the gift he gives to us all. He’s a great strategist, a powerful civil libertarian, a man who values democracy and national unity, and a man who is still, at the core of his being, kind. He has stopped the Dem tendency to be defensive about caring for those in need, for those who work for a living, for blue collar people. He asks one thing of us – something we’ve not been asked in years – and that is to care about the whole of us, not just our individual concerns. Slowly and steadily he has moved us back to a nation of cooperation and respect for one another. Our work on blogs that discuss that respect for the urban, the poor, those in “flyover country”, for those of faith and no faith, for those struggling to keep their heads above water – all of that emerges because HE reminds us we are all in this together. When Sarah Palin sneered, “How’s that hope-y change-y thing workin’ for ya” I thought – fine, thanks. It IS working for us. When FDR was elected it followed on three years of utter and dire despair. The GOP prescription was a disaster that made things vastly worse. It gave FDR the platform for immediate drastic action. Obama did not get that – there were too many who believed all we needed were tweaks to the existing system and let the working stiffs float out on icebergs. “Just so I got mine” was their view. He was forced to move both decisively and carefully to balance every aspect of the economic and financial system – one wrong move, and it could collapse again. His steadfast and deliberate actions saved not just the financial sector but restored a key component of middle class life – manufacturing. All done while being vehemently criticized by both sides. But he never faltered. His willingness to be vulnerable to critique without flinching or faltering, the willingness to be steadfast for US, not the rich, and to be far sighted about the short and long term solutions – all of that coupled with his calm dedication to creating a better America gave people something to hold onto. So yes, Ms. Palin – that hope-y, change-y thing is working just fine. And the fact people did NOT commit suicide as they had under Hoover is a powerful testament to this president’s ability to calm us, steady us, and give us resources by which to stablize our own lives. Four more years indeed. » Posted By choicelady On March 18, 2012 @ 8:18 am The Religious Right Assault on America – Education Boffo analysis SueinCA! As always, of course! My fave bumper sticker on this issue: “As long as there are pop quizzes, there WILL be prayer in schools!” Apparently the Dominionists don’t trust kids to carry their family’s values into the classroom. WE don’t trust THEM to impose those of their families on our families. That’s the difference. » Posted By choicelady On March 21, 2012 @ 1:07 pm GOP Politics – Winning at Any Cost Thanks, AdLib – this represents, to me, a restoration of the evil that swept the nation in the 40s and 50s. The drumbeat of fearmongering, of lies and deception, those were the hallmark of HUAC, of McCarthy, or the Birchers – ALL of whom have ties to the current crop. I read one maybe good thing out of the “defund Rush” campaign and that is that both broadcasters AND advertisers are thinking about offering counter programming to, well, people such as us. If that were to occur, we would have a greater chance of holding broadcasters accountable for what they say. There would be more fact-based discussion than we can find anywhere but the “chart-happy” folks on evening MSNBC. It would be second only to Civics as important sources of info on how our system works. So we need to keep pressure on advertisers not just to de-fund Rush but to fund other broadcasting opportunities. THAT would be good for us all. » Posted By choicelady On March 15, 2012 @ 7:48 am PLANETPOV UPDATE: Site Maintenance Tonight Better severe maintenance than a severe conservative, I always say! Well…I’ve actually NEVER said it, but the sentiment remains. It’s like taking your car in when the heebie-jeebies get under the hood. Not fun, but it’s gotta get done. Thank you for undertaking the task, for helping the planet spin faster, and for being willing to put on the coveralls and slide under the carriage. We are all grateful. Tip’s in the mail… » Posted By choicelady On March 14, 2012 @ 4:24 pm The Christian Right Assault on America – Government and the Military I find it fascinating that Dominionists are the folks “outing” Lords Resistance Army. It is entirely self serving since I strongly suspect they abetted him in the first place. Now they’re selling him out because of global human rights groups putting the truth way out there. So if they’re going to push “death to gay” laws, they need to cleanse public attention of the Konys of the world – and then go on doing what evil THEY are creating hoping we won’t notice. To date, only Rush is now calling LRA and Kony “Christians”. Man – it’s pitiful when even HE did not get the message. » Posted By choicelady On March 15, 2012 @ 11:05 pm I think Iraq was entirely his religious mania – Iraq is “Bablyon” the fall of which presages the Second Coming (among many other things also not coming true…) but his essential stupor and desire to have other people accept ALL the responsibility for his failures actually worked to our advantage. The legacy of his destruction probably can be more properly laid at the feet of Cheney but yes, also his innate shallowness and desire for glory without regard to honor. Witness the flight suited “Mission Accomplished” when his own life was spent AWOL. If we could stop rewarding superficiality and end paternal influence in promoting unfit kids into positions of power, the world would be a safer place. I have a whole, long list of sons whose daddies got them into places they were unqualified to inhabit. Every one of ’em screwed up the world more than was absolutely necessary. » Posted By choicelady On March 15, 2012 @ 11:01 pm I’ve not seen anything announced yet – will try to check. I have friends in the local NOW chapter etc. Will let you know if I learn anything. » Posted By choicelady On March 15, 2012 @ 7:59 pm Alll RIIIIGHHHTTT!!! I’m so glad! That will be a great duo, you and she!!! » Posted By choicelady On March 15, 2012 @ 8:04 amComments Posted By choicelady
