LIVE BLOG: GOP Debate Tonight in NH – 6:00 pm PST

I am not giving the GOP my time, but I find it fascinating that John Kennedy scared the beehoopie out of everyone as a Catholic and here we are, separation of church and state means nothing and a demented Catholic can run from the Vatican. He can run farther right than the Vatican.

It says something about the joy of divisiveness that we can entertain this level of absurdity.

AB, great animated cartoon in WAPO showing Ricky’s vest unraveling into an Obama Win.

Coalition of Church and State: Willard Mitt Romney

Sue, I share that frustration of blindness. I only understand it because of FOX News, a very visible display of stupidity. It’s about winning against cultural issues that keeps them fighting for stupid. It’s infuriating and embarrassing.

Sue, I don’t think we’re over Vietnam. The cons are trying to make Occupiers hippy love chldren, druggies. 68 Their anger hasn’t changed and their capacity for revenge is relentless.

I hear you though on how hard it was. I was in Chicago, ’68. Flower children. Not really adults

Choice, Chickenhawks is a great word. Get ready for Iran because it sounds like their pecking again. Despicable doesn’t ever go far away. Protecting greed through fear is the worst motivator I know.

Nice job, Sue. It’s increasingly difficult to differentiate GOP candidates. They all will say anything at anytime to anyone. They all hope their voters will forget what they don’t like and remember what they do like about the various stances they’ve taken. Bachmann seems to be real but crazy so she doesn’t matter. Perry’s only qualification is being a cowboy for those who haven’t tired of that style. But the others, while their styles are different have all touched the same ground. That ground is ME, ME, ME. I Want It. I Want the Power. I will say anything, anywhere, anytime. Small varmints indeed!

VOTE NOW: The Biggest Political F#%! Up of 2011

Ooops, and Indiana

In my mind, I’d like to lump The governors of Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona and Florida as a representative of GOP treachery and a solid peak at how mean spirited they really are. I voted for Boehner because he has power to do damage to others. the rest of the GOP field seem more interested in shooting their toes off.

Weekend Music Thread – Merry Xmas 2011!

Happy New Year Kes. catching up on people’s thought on Christmas day seemed like a good idea and I wasn’t disappointed. I know what you mean about graveyards and star gazing: I share that experience.

Happy New Year KQ. This is just breathtakingly stunning. I love the holidays so I thought I’d catch up on Planteer’s thought during a few quiet moments. I’m so glad I did. It’s such a good time of year for larger thoughts. The notion of of man’s fears and celebrations over so many centuries (Christmas now melded into the solstice) trying to make sense of his place in a larger universe and then moving into the hopes of a fresh a new year always make me slow down and ponder at the wonder of it all. These photos not only stretch my vision, thet also make me think of those very lucky people who have this as a profession or who have taken the time to understand it.

As we reach across many different time zones, BEST, MERRY, HAPPY, today, tomorrow and through the NEW YEAR. And abundant thanks to Planet POV for safe and fertile ground. What better place to grow ideas for the new year!

KQ, you’ve got that right–I must be younger than I thought. :-). It’s been good here–kids not around as much as hoped but heartfelt. Best again to you.

AB, this is a set of keepers for us. Thank you for this. We are doing a south of the border New Years with wonderful hand cut Mexican decorations from a good friend’s Yucatan mama. This will be a treasure to share.

AB, this is one of my favorite carols; the sweetest and most direct. I know dobros but did not know Jerry Douglas. Very nice.

I put this on yesterday but it’s worth doing for tonight. David Bowie and Bing Crosby, “Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth” The peace on earth lyrics are terrific anytime and the video is cute

Here’s Mindy Smith, “Follow the Shepherd Home”. She wrote some very nice original Christmas music

Weekend Music Thread – Fly Me To The Moon

KT, Harry is such a treat. Makes breathing deep and listening so much easier. I’m not saying it well, but he makes me always feel better

Someone has to do the oldies: Cat Stevens, Moon Shadow

Kes, great movie and great music. And as KT will vouch, one of the greatest phrases? “I swear I thought you was a toad!” Once I take the tree down (not until it begs to be taken out), I think it would be fun to rewatch this movie.

AB, riding around the sun is a keeper concept. Tomorrow morning I’m sitting with coffee and listening to the whole of this.

Will Gingrich be Stopped? Sure. By himself.

Murph, these folks are a round robin of arrogant ignorance. If the consequence of George couldn’t teach them anything or even have them admit to anything, I see little hope. All we can do is out number them. Frankly, I’d like to quarantine them in AZ and TX

Everyone is gone so I am watching tv, Matthews and he ran a clip of Tom Coburn finding Newt’s leadership lacking. Other GOP under Newt’s House leadership saying “House on Fire!”
