Cluster bomb » Posted By foodchain On August 10, 2011 @ 8:48 pm Exactly Adonai. No blurred lines here. » Posted By foodchain On August 10, 2011 @ 9:06 pm I’ll take a piece of that. » Posted By foodchain On August 10, 2011 @ 8:31 pm Here we go again: Kathy Nicolaus, county clerk for Waukesha county. » Posted By foodchain On August 9, 2011 @ 9:24 pm Feels like hanky pank in Waukesha country: 1/11 most of the evening in Pasch/Darling contest. Errrgggghhh » Posted By foodchain On August 9, 2011 @ 8:59 pm Hi Bito! I’ve been clicking the refresh on your link since I saw it. Looking better than an hour ago for sure. A success would feel so so very good about now. » Posted By foodchain On August 9, 2011 @ 7:44 pm yep » Posted By foodchain On August 9, 2011 @ 7:31 pm Hi AdLIb. Clicking the refresh link every 5 minutes since 7pm cts. We are 20 miles from WI with a lot of Palin fans in the family living in central WI. Argggh. Long night. » Posted By foodchain On August 9, 2011 @ 7:20 pm Hi Bito, I must need a vacation. I wish I felt my solutions would be effective. In many ways this is a very exciting time–a crescendo of thoughts, the disharmony before resolution, the dark before the dawn. If we can organize ourselves, we have enough will and numbers to change. I am more confident that our malcontents are closer to coming on board that the GOP’s » Posted By foodchain On August 8, 2011 @ 7:40 pm Hey AdLib; a strong, forward looking piece. Obama promoted a similar set of points this afternoon. I appreciate his chastising the “stuck” legislators on both sides–although consensus does seem to put it on the GOP–and his commitment to governing the whole instead of only his party. MoveOn has been productive and seems to play the ball where it lies better than some. The next year should be very telling. This could well be the best of times and the worst of times for this country. The richness of our complexity is exciting, a collision course of historic differences. I hope we serve ourselves well. My confidence is not high that we will do this with any sense of grace. » Posted By foodchain On August 8, 2011 @ 7:31 pm Presidential Primary Challenges Miss the Point Welcome Dorothy. Change for some is welcome and change for most is chaotic. He knows this better than most and this is why he should be visibly ahead of the curve on this. I know that he is, but the frightened people don’t. This isn’t a “trust me” moment for them and I think if he could say, or have our (damn) leadership provide some united message, the dems would hold together better than they have been » Posted By foodchain On August 12, 2011 @ 7:06 pm Weekend Music Thread – Summertime So when did the leggo palooza happen? » Posted By foodchain On August 7, 2011 @ 2:16 pm I love the concept of hating to fall asleep and hating to wake up. We are a funny sort. We are capable of such strong desires to control our lives. I wonder if other species have frustrations. Rumors of exalted thinkers surviving without sleep and nutrition (akin to walking on hot coals I suppose) was talked about in the 70’s, as was just about everything, but I never researched because I love food as art and entertainment. And I do like sleep when it comes as I’m ready. It is a very big bear to fight off if you’re not! I find, after quite a few years, that I wake early searching for that unstructured time that I cherish. » Posted By foodchain On August 7, 2011 @ 12:47 pm Shoot, glad to have been here for a bit. Off again, but spirit is with you all. » Posted By foodchain On August 1, 2011 @ 7:10 pm AdLib, The pendulum swing, as you point out, is buffered by the cable/internet infosphere. What I hope is that WI, MI,OH voters, each mad at their newly elected GOP governors taking down unions, teachers, firemen, policemen, will vote in a new record turnout. We need people to angry at what they’ve done and what has happened. There is no news station that will help us. One of my ideas–your outrage llc–is that we are the majority so why isn’t news ratings working for us? How can we make the cable stations want us rather than the vocal minority fringe? There should be a good answer in here somewhere. And it’s a great article btw » Posted By foodchain On August 1, 2011 @ 7:06 pm Choice–so with you on this. Having been a young idealist–a strikingly easy position to argue–I learned that results are more important. The war is not ideas; getting somethings to be better is more desirable than failing on principle. » Posted By foodchain On August 1, 2011 @ 6:52 pm I am so sorry to hear that. I don’t watch anymore because it just makes me angry–appropriate to the outrage machine. He has been been better than a lot of MSNBC commentators. » Posted By foodchain On August 1, 2011 @ 6:45 pm consider me snapped to attention!! There are things to do: Wisconsin support–delicious! :-). » Posted By foodchain On August 1, 2011 @ 6:36 pm Choice, Great reality check, as AdLib’s whole article points out. Everyone needs to keep their eye on the PRIZE not on the WIN. (sorry to all cap haters) » Posted By foodchain On August 1, 2011 @ 6:27 pm Too true oldpol2. » Posted By foodchain On August 1, 2011 @ 6:21 pm I’m an old independent and for me, the best person is whom I support. Period. I was idealistic through Vietnam, anything to do with schools, workers, lots of things. I don’t believe Obama moves with the wind; I believe he wants to get A thing accomplished, one at a time, one after the other. The country has changed and I don’t like it either, but yell at Congress–they are the ones not speaking, not legislating and not voting. Obama is playing the ball where the Democrats leave him. » Posted By foodchain On August 1, 2011 @ 6:18 pm Wow! I’d be a ditto on that. 🙂 » Posted By foodchain On August 1, 2011 @ 6:08 pm AdLib, what’s missing is my outrage manufacturing organization. I am mad at both extremes for being extremist, flame-throwing, take no prisoners, bigots, who as idealists, have set up destruction as their only goal. Both sides appear unable to connect information to any sense of reality (a higher order of thinking)for any length of time. And both sides seem perfectly happy to destroy what I want in the process. Now, for your concerns: We already have zombies from the Revolutionary war endlessly terrifying people with guns and odd things hanging from them. Given the viagra and cialis industry, I’d guess we have that problem as a country as well. The could easily move us into a double dip or worse–easily. As for everything else? We are one measure closer than we were before these (struggling to pull myself together and say something kinder) polarized groups destroy us all. I thought finally being in the majority, (I liked Clinton some), in this Obama 2008 majority, that I would be happy, but Noooooo. » Posted By foodchain On August 1, 2011 @ 4:02 pm Weekend Music Thread – The Sky’s the Limit Anything from Peter Pan » Posted By foodchain On July 31, 2011 @ 1:51 pm Movie Clips Boehner Should Have Played These might not be inspirational but they seem apt. 🙂 I’m thinking “Apocalypse Now” with Grover Norguist playing Marlon Brando on the throne while the chattering heads dance around him. Or “The Island of Dr Moreau” comes to mind. (After being rescued and brought to an island, a man discovers that it’s inhabitants are experimental animals being turned into strange looking humans, all of it the work of a visionary doctor.) Harry Reid could yell “I’m mad as Hell, and I won’t take it any more!” from “Network” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMBZDwf9dok What a great idea adlib! » Posted By foodchain On July 27, 2011 @ 3:20 pm Weekend Music Thread – Take Me Away lol. (working on pics of puppy) » Posted By foodchain On July 24, 2011 @ 8:50 pm Have to finish “Breaking Bad” with hubby and I’ll be there. We’ll catch up. I value your opinion. See you soon » Posted By foodchain On July 23, 2011 @ 7:44 pm He’s a great guy. A simple song but I’ve always enjoyed it. » Posted By foodchain On July 23, 2011 @ 7:38 pm Me too! Both of you! And everyone, as I’ve been gone as well. Cat advise: I have a “rescue” pup who, at 6 1/2 months is a blank slate; been crated in the country, no exposure and gets very excited and nervous and worn out each day. A dear in the making but horribly under socialized. Would a cat help? I love cats but I don’t want to confuse my pup but I do want to support. English Cocker–I remember the doberman who outfielded a cocker? Anyway, advise would be welcome. » Posted By foodchain On July 23, 2011 @ 6:51 pm M Ward, “Chines Translation”, an escapade. Escapade just sounds like something everyone should do at least once.

Telling Dick Durbin to get the frown off his face and stand up (he’s my senator). Very cool to hear what you do.
