The idea is for us to be there in the dream time. httpsh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3dMoRtXRzc » Posted By dildenusa On August 27, 2010 @ 5:46 pm Written in 1976 and performed live in 1978. I believe that Jackson is a prophet. Check out the slide guitar. httpsh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aY4phb8pGIk&feature=related » Posted By dildenusa On August 27, 2010 @ 5:40 pm The White Wings of Icarus Fall Silent I didn’t really get involved in blogs until about 2 – 3 years ago so I don’t know a lot about Arianna’a Damascene conversion. But I do know one thing. The psychology behind the old saying, “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” is alive and well among the high placed media types and pundits today as well as politicians of all stripes. The old republican establishment of which the Bush and McCain families are a part of, despises the Christian holy rollers and dominionists. But when push came to shove they used every trick in the book to get the holy rollers to get out and vote. I mean look at who McCain picks for his running mate. Need I say more. It’s safe to say that Arianna Huffington is an opportunist and a wolf in sheeps clothing. » Posted By dildenusa On August 27, 2010 @ 10:10 am I would think that Arianna as a Greek Orthodox Catholic still has some animosity toward the Muslims since Greece was controlled by the Ottoman Turks from the 14th century until 1830. Even though I think the term Damascene conversion has been overused (there is some controversy as to where St. Paul was actually headed when he had his miraculous conversion) you can use it any time you want along with the term ratfucking. » Posted By dildenusa On August 26, 2010 @ 4:54 pm TAKE ACTION: Help Write a Speech For Pres. Obama Absolutely true. Cynical politicians like McCain, Osarah bin Palin, Boehner, etc. and scum bags like Rove are feeding the national hubris of American exceptionalism, Christian dominionism, and conservative political triumphalism, their daily megadoses through the mouthpiece of beck and limbo. » Posted By dildenusa On August 25, 2010 @ 9:13 am This is easy. President Obama needs to hold up a mirror of history. There are several good examples. Pick an ancient civilization that grew, prospered, and then collapsed into the dustbin of history. Romans, Greeks, Babylonians, Sumerians, Byzantium, Ottoman, etc. Why, what happened? In a word, Hubris. Pride goes before a fall. But he won’t do it. Why? Hubris. » Posted By dildenusa On August 24, 2010 @ 9:07 pm Friday Music Thread – You Must Remember This One for Prop 19. httpsh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BOVDv-NSMM » Posted By dildenusa On August 20, 2010 @ 6:58 pm Please Newt, Please Osarah bin Palin, Please John Boehner.

I always thought he lived by Exit 14C off the New Jersey Turnpike coming into Bayonne. Oh, I’m sorry I made a mistake. it’s exit 14A. !4C is Jersey City. It’s been about 20 years since I’ve been there. » Posted By dildenusa On August 22, 2010 @ 11:17 am If you show me a reasonable and principled republican, I’ll show you an honest person. » Posted By dildenusa On August 20, 2010 @ 10:26 am So if I ride alone today, am I riding with Osama bin Laden? Or how about riding with Osarah bin Palin and the founding fathers and mama grizzlies? You know what happens when you share your car? It gets destroyed. If I was German I would say I’m riding mit Mitt. » Posted By dildenusa On August 18, 2010 @ 8:45 pm Just a Final Word about Robert Gibbs The saddest thing about all of this, is that the people who buy into this deliberate misinformation, from Rush » Posted By dildenusa On August 16, 2010 @ 4:57 pm Robert Gibbs, Ratfucking and the Professional Left Well, Tricky Dicky Cheney would say we need a strong (read “strongman”) » Posted By dildenusa On August 16, 2010 @ 4:34 pm There has not been a US government that has “worked” (read “functional”) in modern times since at least JFK. Why? One reason is the narcissitic bipolar nature of politicians. » Posted By dildenusa On August 16, 2010 @ 4:30 pm Absolutely. While Alan Greenspan was singing the praises of Ayn Rand and neo-liberal free market economics, guess what happened. Fannie and Freddie do not make loans. They purchase mortgage loans and earn fees for guaranteeing payments on the loans. According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, in 2006, Fannie and Freddie accounted for 33% of total mortgage backed securities issuance. In the first half of 2010, they accounted for around 64% of new issuance. They were forced to pick up the slack and buy more when Wall Street’s private label securitization Ponzi scheme blew up. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/janet-tavakoli/how-to-thwart-the-assassi_b_682538.html » Posted By dildenusa On August 16, 2010 @ 10:22 am From Al Sleet, the “Hippy Dippy” Weatherman in 1965 to the left wing tea bag coffee filter partier in 2007. One of the good guys. Too bad he isn’t around any more. » Posted By dildenusa On August 16, 2010 @ 9:05 am I’ve been reading Paul Krugman’s book, “Depression Economics” and Nouriel Roubini’s book “Crisis Economics” and most left of center economists agree and some right of center, that there hasn’t been enough fiscal stimulus. Only the whackos from the Austrian School with their philosophy of creative destruction and the “leave-it-alone liquidationists” would have the zombie banks fold into a heap of junk. In the long term however there does need to be a shakeout to keep out the incompetent high rollers that pervaded Wall street and Main street for so many years. That is what got us into this mess. An orderly liquidation, instead of propping up zombies is what will get us out. » Posted By dildenusa On August 15, 2010 @ 9:14 pm Apparently, and I don’t know for sure, The interview that Robert Gibbs did was not on video. Still, the detractors on the left really don’t have a leg to stand on when it comes to President Obama’s ability to pass legislation in the face of total ignorance by the republican leadership in congress. The detractors on the left in essence are giving “aid and comfort” to the enemy. They are just as ignorant as the republican leadership. Now there will always be people like Rove and Huffington. But there are ways of dealing with them that minimize their effects. For the left to pile on Obama like this isn’t minimizing Rove and Huffington, it makes them bigger than life. » Posted By dildenusa On August 15, 2010 @ 5:28 pm All the pontificating and hand wringing following the Watergate Scandal and the campaign finance laws obviously missed the mark. Now the supreme court has thrown the doors to unlimited “pimping” of rats during election season while we sit transfixed in the warm glow of electrons moving to and fro across the screen. httpsh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LI_Oe-jtgdI » Posted By dildenusa On August 15, 2010 @ 9:59 am Mid-Atlantic Trip Part 4: Gettysburg Great pictures. US Route 30 going through downtown Gettysberg and Pennsylvania is known as Lincoln Highway. Before Interstate 80 was built, it was the main east – west highway across country. More heavily traveled than Route 66. » Posted By dildenusa On August 14, 2010 @ 8:44 pm Friday Music Thread – Why So Serious? I just can’t resist. What do you expect from an old phart. httpsh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZtomQS8JkE » Posted By dildenusa On August 13, 2010 @ 1:32 pm Keep the Fire High in the sky, not on the ground. httpsh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfBUVpGvOOs » Posted By dildenusa On August 13, 2010 @ 12:21 pm I just saw this on Huff post. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/08/12/global-weirding-extreme-c_n_680364.html » Posted By dildenusa On August 12, 2010 @ 6:46 pm The Shultz Fire was human caused (some dumbass didn’t put out their campfire) although they haven’t caught anybody yet. There was another fire in Flagstaff that nearly burned down the Little America Hotel. That one was caused by a homeless guy who also didn’t put out his campfire. The weather in my neck of northwest Arizona has been great. I was out this morning in the mountains with my bicycle. Although humidity might return later in the week. A lot of people don’t understand that weather extremes will become more pronounced as climate change gathers more steam (pun intended). » Posted By dildenusa On August 12, 2010 @ 6:40 pm The World According to GOP – Vol. 2 The plot as well as the sheep dip and cow dip thickens, Ted Stevens was nobody’s fool. He was well aware what Palin had done to him. When I spoke with Stevens last summer in the aftermath of Palin’s resignation as governor, Stevens described her as “an opportunist” and “thin-skinned.” While he refused to speak on the record about his personal relationship with Palin, one got the sense that he felt profoundly betrayed by her in recent years. He clearly did not trust her. It was precisely the same sense of disgust and disdain that I felt from Hickel and other Republican Party elders whom I interviewed in Alaska over the last 18 months. Loyalty was clearly not her strong suit. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/geoffrey-dunn/ted-stevens-and-the-gall_b_681626.html » Posted By dildenusa On August 13, 2010 @ 1:02 pm Tax breaks for the wealthy never built a bridge or an airport. They never increased American productivity by reducing traffic congestion, increasing broadband service, or creating a modern energy grid. The most fundamental step in boosting our economy is to get American workers back on the job. Getting people back to work affects the momentum of the economy, which ultimately creates the cycle of private-sector job creation that we need. Why is this true even though it creates massive budget deficits that the republicans say don’t need to be paid for? Because wealthy people simply take the money they get in tax cuts and buy treasury bonds that are used to finance government debt. Then the middle class pays the taxes to pay the interest back to the wealthy own the government bonds they own. A ponzi scheme to make Bernie Madoff proud. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mark-h-ayers/there-is-no-tomorrowameri_b_681366.html?ir=Politics » Posted By dildenusa On August 13, 2010 @ 10:01 am It wasn’t enough that since 1980 the republicans developed and honed their strategy of whittling away the wealth of the American middle class. Now they have decided to play brinksmanship and put 95% of the population in danger of domestic insurrection. They decided on this path within minutes after Barack Obama was elected in 2008. Even though the nation was in the middle of the deepest economic downturn since 1930-1940. Now, the republican leadership in congrees thinks they will win back control of congress and bombard President Obama with legislation that will further erode the wealth of the middle class. This is brinksmanship that will bring this nation to the edge of the abyss. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/09/opinion/09mon1.html?_r=1&ref=editorials http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bob-burnett/the-jobs-crisis-what-hit_b_681148.html » Posted By dildenusa On August 13, 2010 @ 9:47 am Please. I can’t take anymore of this. In any normal election, this guy would be laughed at. But this isn’t normal. Not even half normal. the thing is to find a truth which is true for me, to find the idea for which I can live and die. … Soren Kierkegaard http://www.denverpost.com/election2010/ci_15673894 » Posted By dildenusa On August 12, 2010 @ 7:10 am It’s very clear to me that the republicans are seeing things from a fantasy world. If reality is a pig, the republicans in this election are selling a pig in a poke. » Posted By dildenusa On August 11, 2010 @ 7:44 pmComments Posted By dildenusa
