Time Out for O/T – Vol. 18

Wow. A GOP truth speaker: one in a row. Let’s hope we find some more. 🙂

I agree. His remembrance of being in NYC on 911 and his diatribe against Bush was as memorable as any. But, his anger seems to have driven him a little too far.

Hey KT, first, I just gave you a neg when I hit the reply so disregard that. Second, self-righteousness is self-destructive no matter what side you’re on.

Funny, how no one wanted to see it until enough happened.

Hi boomer. Roquefort would be boutique cheese, most likely an educated liberals. Most of the state is orange cheese and curds. This state had no democratic party of any import until the Joe McCarthy debacle and the moderate GOP essentially became the new Democratic Party of WI in protest. Looks like their GOP went off the rails again.

I think in many ways the teachers, other union members, friends and family became the first Occupy group. This has been a remarkable fight and still a difficult one ahead for the Democrats. I’m doing what I can–not as much as I’d like but they need the help.

Bito, a little data, a lot of fun cartoons re Hummers. The ownership surged with the invasion of Iraq and peaked in 2006. Another gift from George.

Ad, Why is it that the crooks are so good at talking? What, is every good guy Cary Cooper? Got no words? Who’s gonna stay around to see the end of the movie? Well, we all will, but the voters are not seeing “Cooper” as the good guy because NO ONE CAN HEAR HIM!

Out of all the TV info that seems to educate our people, why can’t they see the bad guy? I guess they see Elmer Gantry instead. 🙁

Connecting dots is a higher order of thinking and must not be taught certain parts of our political system.

Welcome here! It is a good place and a lot less frustrating than the far right feeding frenzy that HP/AOL has encouraged.

Cher, me thinks the nick adornment is t trifle too loose. Glad you’re back. I’m hear but barely: just a very busy schedule and then hubby/puppy (look alike words?) are fun in the evening.

kT, I do know how to toast in quite a few languages. 🙂

pub talk for sure!

Sally, I can’t see the words on a page without saying “Those rotten bastards. Zimmerman should be allowed jail and nothing more.”

Sally, good for her. That’s a great step. And what presence for a young woman to have. My kids are more unhappy having grown up in the sterile life of the suburbs where everyone is the same and boring and they are seeking more diversity in their lives.

I should let you know that I had a box of 33 1/3 LPs, Beatles, show tunes, and the first Bob Dylan all in their cardboard sleeves. My hubby said I had stored them poorly and we should toss them. So out to the curb with this box of albums. I’ve never let him live it down;–no one else has either!

But I know I have felt like this at times in my life; haven’t acted on it but the visual is great.

Kes, we could set this to music from “Finnian’s Rainbow, The Idle Poor” OMG, this is with Fred Astaire, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZnXnRq81rA

Sally and Kes. Same Ron Paul experience with little understanding of what that means: less government, no war. But they don’t seem connected to the country or to other people’s problems. I have a female and male offspring, 30 and 27. They don’t offer any resounding support for Obama although my daughter,surrounded by GOP financial types, leans left. My son is detached and out of country.

I wonder if, when you have a family, these issues become more important.

Kes, this is such a heart breaker. A few weeks of taking down women’s rights and then yet one more enormous leap backward. All are tragic but, dammit I can fight for my rights; what chance did this young man have?

Again, I’m learning how difficult this is. When Obama was elected, black people showed what a different experience it was for them than me. It was then I re-understood (I know) that as a white woman, I experienced limitations imposed by white men in the work place. I met wonderful fathers not sure how to be friends with a married mom at the roller rink birthday party. I’ve been in Chicago ghettos, I’ve had friends from every walk of life but I never understood this: how does a young black man get shot walking home by a man so afraid that he had to carry a gun to shoot children? We have ghetto killings of innocents but this is different.

This is what happens when we let these people increase their power through fear. “Fear truncates options”

Lawdy, there goes Mitt shooting those varmints again!

What a treat! Great memories and Fluke is a wonderful new face and voice.

Khirad, I would have used no caps and talked in the same simple dialect: you would have scared the crap out of DEEBRA. Imagine if she thought one of her own made her look stupid!

Bito, Yippeeee to see you! I’m going to find quiet time and listen to this. It is special.

» Posted By foodchain On March 16, 2012 @ 4:18 pm

🙂 Oh my yes!

CL, even later but whether it’s clinical trials or conventional treatment, nutrition is really important. Anything that helps supports and improves the body’s healing capabilities should be part of the process. Lot of on-line info on this.

This is always so hard…

I saw this Ad; The South shall rise again. I’m not saying this in response to your comment but the subject is so relevant. Until we understand that the South lost a war and was occupied, we will fail to understand their anger. We should look at other countries which have had borders ascribed—on going resentments. we should ask people from countries how they feel about “invaders”. I don’t think it’s an easy answer but I do think to think we are one country is the mind set of the winner, not the loser. Revenge is a long and bitter mindset

Is this the “we” we have been waiting for? I think it is! Sometimes justice is so big I can’t see it. Now, what to do with those 99%….Although, destruction of the GOP RW works for me

We have a boys who have been on the bacon band wagon which also includes pork bellies–hard to find in northern IL suburbs. But Buffalo Wing soda?

What a gift to give

I know. It’s quite wonderful
