Displaying 0 To 0 Of 0 Comments What I really loved about Fargo is the gentle way of poking fun at regional characters and idiosyncracies, all the while promoting the characters as the salt of the earth they are. That balance is almost impossible to achieve, and they did it. One walks away very admiring of all the steadfast and devoted people who put one foot in front of the other and keep the world moving well. Nicely done. » Posted By choicelady On December 18, 2011 @ 2:08 pm Cher – I got dragooned into seeing AI, and to this day I think it THE most depressing movie I’ve ever seen (that was entirely fiction. I’m not THAT shallow!) The kid’s abject loneliness, irreversable thanks to a very selfish human act, just tore me apart. Awful. And too bloody long, BTW… » Posted By choicelady On December 18, 2011 @ 2:04 pm Fr. Frank Cordaro is legit if misguided. He is pretty much a renegede, and while his link is not an authorized CWM site, it is a worker community. Cordaro has advocated for women in the priesthood and got suspended for a year doing that which is when he attached himself to the worker community. He’s been in Plowshares actions as well as against abortion, so he’s in the “Berrigan” style of Catholic priests. Needs a major civics lesson however. To have been as activist as he has been AND this dumb about government is inexcusable. You can read his bio and get his email at: http://www.no-nukes.org/frank/f-biography.html Anyone up for telling him he’s advocating a return to the Tsar is welcome to do so – his email is public. » Posted By choicelady On December 18, 2011 @ 11:21 am Saddest thing – no paper I have read covered the “last man” (or woman) rolling across the border. Only Richard Engle covered the pull out of combat forces earlier. He did it with great presence, sense of history, real drama, and chills over FINALLY getting this done. But this is even MORE important, and you’d think – eh. Big deal. This nation declines in no small part because our media are so weak. If they have no sense of history, ignorant Americans cannot either. Thank you, men and women who have served in Iraq. Welcome home. We will NOT forget you. » Posted By choicelady On December 18, 2011 @ 11:11 am Mom should kill HIM. That obit would be real, and no jury of pissed off moms would convict her. » Posted By choicelady On December 18, 2011 @ 11:07 am Wow – maybe that’s precisely why I don’t go to his films? Never thought about it. It’s like eating animal crackers – tedious after the first one or two. » Posted By choicelady On December 18, 2011 @ 11:02 am KT – my mother used to opine that the real character was Arthur Godfrey. What do you think? Today, yes, Glenn is the equivalent. Creepy to contemplate. BTW – SAlly and KT – I LOVE “Born Yesterday”. One of my all time faves. The other is “The Solid Gold Cadillac” which was a very early send up of corporate CEOs and their dishonesty. I wanted to grow up to BE Laura Partridge – and I sort of did. I write to my members the way she wrote to the stockholders. It really works as a way of having people feel empowered knowing there is a REAL person “up there”! » Posted By choicelady On December 17, 2011 @ 2:38 pm Now he’s dragging nurses into it as if they did what he did, and they don’t. This may, however, be one step closer to self analysis than his EARLIER justification – he was working so hard and just loved his country so much that he had no choice but to screw the living daylights out of any woman (within reach and stupid enough to find him attractive.) So Patriotism made him do it. He has told the religious right (who must not yet realize he’s Catholic which they think is the Whore of Babylon) that God has forgiven him, so everything is copacetic. When asked how he differed from Clinton who remained married, Newt said, “Well, all the difference in the world. I did not lie under oath.” Which leads me to agree – he lied under Calista… » Posted By choicelady On December 17, 2011 @ 8:32 am But you can’t – he’d have a Ginger Ale. He’s Mormon, y’know and does not drink. Not even colas since they have caffein in them. It might explain some of his bland indifference to everyone and thing. » Posted By choicelady On December 17, 2011 @ 8:25 am I think I did not want to know that…ANY of that. Good-bye, Mr. Hitchens. Sorry we never got to talk. About things other than those. » Posted By choicelady On December 16, 2011 @ 1:51 pm Yikes — did you read some of the comments???? There are adults sorely in need of this project! » Posted By choicelady On December 16, 2011 @ 1:49 pm Life with Riley – blue collar factory worker. We once honored and were interested in ordinary people. Best shows – King of Queens and Mike and Molly about such folks. Maybe that’s coming back? » Posted By choicelady On December 14, 2011 @ 9:21 pm It reaffirms existing law. Dianne Feinstein amended SEction 1032 to make it EXPLICIT because of the faux progressive howling. At NO point did the White House want this removed – they wanted a more conservative version changed and it was. Feinstein’s amendment was passed, 99-1. So now if PBO does not veto S 1867, and he won’t since it contains what he wants in protections, the faux progressives will assume the military will invade every street, rounding us up and holding us permanently. We now have the Y2K jerks in leftish clothing – both are waiting for the Black Helicopters. Not being able to read or choosing not to read is a terrible affliction. The Left is as bad as the Right. » Posted By choicelady On December 14, 2011 @ 9:19 pm Oh – so that’s what that pain is! Thanks! » Posted By choicelady On December 14, 2011 @ 9:14 pm Awww – that’s so cute! I hope it got taken care of well. They are easily frightened since our upright posture is the seal’s attack mode and they fear us. If a seal crawls into your bedroom (apologies to James Thurber), best to also crawl around on your belly while calling 911 for an expert. » Posted By choicelady On December 14, 2011 @ 9:13 pm Public Citizen, Common Cause, etc. are moving a national constitutional amendment against corporate personhood. It will take time – would be a LOT faster to get decent justices on the Supreme Court – but would end this farce forever. It’s a movement that we need to support along with other things such as revelations of funding in 527 campaigns. In 2000 the Supremes and IRS demanded to know this information. Funders behind 527 independent expenditure campaigns could no longer hide behind cloaks of secrecy. Effective July 1 2000, they had to be upfront declared. Since it is part of what’s on the books already, it needs to be resurrected immediately. We need allies on the FEC – midterm appointments MUST be made. » Posted By choicelady On December 10, 2011 @ 11:02 am I want Perry to point out any part of Christ’s message that reviles LGBT people or denies any human being access to love and inclusion. I’m waiting… » Posted By choicelady On December 10, 2011 @ 10:56 am Eeeeuuuuwww- I think I’m motion sick. But I’m voting for Obama, voting for Dems, and it’s the GOP who make me ill! » Posted By choicelady On December 10, 2011 @ 10:52 am OMG – don’t get sick, girfriend – you’ve had enough this year already! » Posted By choicelady On December 10, 2011 @ 10:50 am Bush I nailed it – “voo doo”. It never worked, can’t work, will not work, and that’s that. Get over it, GOP. » Posted By choicelady On December 4, 2011 @ 5:58 pm And the poor are in such GOOD position to influence policy while the rich would NEVER do such a thing, now would they? Do these people even think before they speak or listen to what they said? If the poor were so successful at redistributing income, why are they POOR?????? » Posted By choicelady On December 4, 2011 @ 5:56 pm OK,Sue – I think I just swallowed my tongue laughing. I truly do believe you’ve named THE policy issue for the 2012 GOP. I read years ago that Dem women prefer pajamas and making love with their husbands or partners while GOP women like frilly nightgowns and watching TV in bed. Therefore, I believe adultery becomes a really good way to get “alone” time for GOP wives while hubby is off doing whatever hubby does. I believe you’ve sewn this up very neatly, thank you! I’m sure this is entirely scientific research, right? » Posted By choicelady On December 4, 2011 @ 5:53 pm This Is How It Ends: Black Hole Adonai – I have a great deal of difficulty understanding this, but it’s fascinating! I have enough problem with the concepts of “eternity” and “infinity”, and black holes boggle my mind more. I pay attention to NOVA and other explanations of ten dimensions, of entanglement and its “spooky action at a distance” (SAAAD)- and all of it is in the forebrain because I cannot comprehend “what it really is”. Your description of the “spaghetti-ization” of humans falling into a Black Hole is probably the first I’ve read of “what would happen if…” and is good enough for me at this point. Always wondered if you’d actually notice – would there be discernible changes? What if, rather than our core becoming a black hole, the whole earth were sucked in. Then what? Would we notice? What fascinates me about quantum theory and the ten dimensions is how much it could lead to our understanding of human consciousness and issues such as mind connection and precognition that we now dismiss out of hand. Malcolm Gladwell writes of “Tipping Points” in human ideas and actions – but what if it’s a function of collective consciousness, too? And that is one of the dimensions? What is equally fascinating is your very fine observation that we have no observation, no measurement, not “proof” in scientific reality – mathematical probabilities and some observable side effects (SAAAD) but no way to absolutely verify any of it. Yet. Thanks, Adonai – you’ve opened up a very interesting and compelling line of inquiry and have described it extremely well! » Posted By choicelady On January 15, 2012 @ 9:57 am Hi Em! Yes – I have been pain free for almost two weeks. It’s MY version of being “reborn”! I was honestly scared I might never walk well – or at all – again, but my chiropractor put me right, and I do NOT take it for granted. I’m out of town for the moment, but trying to keep up here. The specter of Newt as “God’s chosen” makes me so nauseated I can hardly abide it. This is a man deeply corrupt in his soul and mind, and that he’d be preferable to PBO is disgusting. That said, yes we ALL have to pay attention to the GOP and Koch Brothers march on Congress. I’m currently in the midwest where the sentiments are hugely different from 2010 – I am thinking the GOP Baggers may all be one term folks. Good news on the MA front as well – Warren is polling well ahead of Centerfold Brown. I think people learned from this horrible past two years that this is NOT the GOP they once knew. That said – what the HELL is Arianna doing saying she’s thinking of voting GOP? And she still pretends she’s progressive??? Work at the district level, even for a Blue Dog, is essential. We need the houses back! » Posted By choicelady On December 5, 2011 @ 9:32 am The way the evangelicals have rationalized Newt’s flagrant infidelities is to label him (once it was Perry) as “King David”. David is one of the Bible’s most problematic heroes since he committed adultery with Bathsheba then caused her husband to be sent to certain death in war. Yet – he’s a shining light. (The Bible has lots to answer for…) So evangelicals decided that Mr. Tawdry rather than being disqualified was in fact exalted for his smarmy behavior. “If you stick around long enough, nothing counts.” – Jules Feiffer » Posted By choicelady On December 5, 2011 @ 8:58 am I remember that, and recall that, despite being landlocked, Newt’s county got COAST GUARD financing which Moore threw in Newt’s face, and Newt was rendered speechless. I loved Moore for that – too bad he’s lost HIS focus. He once was a great oppositional presence to the Newts and other Slimy Things of the GOP world. » Posted By choicelady On December 5, 2011 @ 8:55 am What Republicans Are Thankful For Mine happened to be kosher. Same diff. Discovered that when Muslims fly, they order kosher meals. If that doesn’t bring world peace, what will? » Posted By choicelady On November 26, 2011 @ 7:16 pm I have to say that I’m now sympathetic to Rush. I’ve been on the very thing that made him lose his hearing and send his maid, documented status unknown, out to score for him. It has eased MY pain, so how can I begrudge him a hit or two? Or three or four…? Of course I took it a grand total of 8 times and now am off it entirely, but I’m not saying I’m BETTER than Rush, noooo. Even if I am, I’d not brag about it. Or anything… Artist – I get the corn dog reference. It’s archived in photos. Three dollars for a gigunda corn dog. Two fifty for Kodak film. Blackmail possibilities – priceless. » Posted By choicelady On November 26, 2011 @ 7:15 pm We will find a way. Crickets isn’t the same without you! But check out spots down there, and we can break new ground, too! Nothing says I can’t come thataway! » Posted By choicelady On December 23, 2011 @ 2:26 pm Oh kes – you are one of our brightest stars in the firmament! Happiest wishes for you and yours to have a grand time – and good luck with that Aspergers – one of my relatives is the same. Always keeps things interesting!!!! Nobody needs THAT much spontaneous “honesty” this time of year. You will be in my heart! » Posted By choicelady On December 23, 2011 @ 2:24 pmComments Posted By choicelady
