Who knew? Very much fun. Merry Merry » Posted By foodchain On December 24, 2012 @ 8:28 pm Kes, there’s plenty more where they came from! Best, best and bester đ » Posted By foodchain On June 9, 2013 @ 2:34 pm CHICAGO!! My kind of town. We have some pretty darn good architecture here. The Prudential was the first after the depression. lol, you can always count on insurance companies to make $$$ » Posted By foodchain On May 15, 2013 @ 4:30 pm Good MOrning from my small spot in the mid west. Our best to Kes in her recovery. I do wish that everyone focused on revenge could find a way to stop. There is no good to come from revenge, religious or otherwise. I wish our GOP would stop spending money on false charges and false equivalencies and false outrage. I wish everyone would say ENOUGH! And I wish Darrell Issa would fall on his face too. » Posted By foodchain On May 13, 2013 @ 6:04 am AB, I laughed at that line last night but I’ll bet Karl Rove choked on that Big Gulp đ » Posted By foodchain On February 13, 2013 @ 9:36 am An Open Letter to my Sons – November 5th, 2008 Funk, our big celebration was in 08. We too are not feeling so social; it was just too mean spirited and the news was just too unhelpful. We are having 2 close friends–no kids at home–just to divert us I won’t be able to join you all tonight until later if I’m coherent! đ » Posted By foodchain On November 6, 2012 @ 4:13 pm Funk, what a great letter and what a great memory for us. We were hosting a hopeful for victory party with what few Democrats we have in the northern Chicago suburbs. When Ohio fell, the cheers rang through the house and we watched the celebration in Grant Park. The diversity of age, race, culture, the multi-generational families, the tears and the laughter: it was just overwhelming I’ve been angered and saddened by the quick lack of support some democrats have shown. I hope by the end of his next four years those doubters will be cheering again. I will be. Thank you for sharing the letter (google has some great images of Grant Park- I just can’t seem to get them here!) » Posted By foodchain On November 6, 2012 @ 11:38 am Weekend Music Thread – Hit the Road Mitt Let’s try this
» Posted By foodchain On November 3, 2012 @ 5:07 pm Get off of my cloud Mitt!! » Posted By foodchain On November 3, 2012 @ 5:05 pm UPDATED: Business Owners: Vote Romney or Else! Hi goleafsgo, those are some pretty important years you have on me! » Posted By foodchain On October 20, 2012 @ 10:52 am sally, vinegar is healthy but I’d bet you’re still a damn good wine. » Posted By foodchain On October 19, 2012 @ 6:39 pm (hug) » Posted By foodchain On October 19, 2012 @ 6:02 pm Sally, I probably have everyone beat–age wise anyway. ’46, damn proud, BUT, younger wouldn’t hurt » Posted By foodchain On October 19, 2012 @ 5:58 pm KT, nah, late boomer! I’m trying to be a good old wine though » Posted By foodchain On October 19, 2012 @ 5:52 pm LIVE CHAT TONIGHT! – 6:00 PM PST – The Second Obama-Romney Debate KQ, we’ve been in a similar situation and most people just take HC for granted. We are a 2 person company and have 2 kids. We purchased our own health care without the benefits of lower group premiums. Beyond the staggering monthly cost, our deductible was $5000. Our kids had all the exams they needed for school and sports activities but we went without healthcare for ourselves. It was just too much to pay premiums, pay the deductible AND pay the doctors. We’ve been lucky that our health (we think, hope and pray)has not been affected. I’m so glad to hear that this is finally working for you and your wife. It affects everything you do everyday. » Posted By foodchain On October 17, 2012 @ 8:21 am Weekend Music Thread – Night and Day KT, Levon was a treasure » Posted By foodchain On October 15, 2012 @ 8:33 am Thanks KT, We used the verse as part of our wedding invitation. Go figure! » Posted By foodchain On October 14, 2012 @ 5:39 pm Closer to Believing–Emerson Lake and Palmer
» Posted By foodchain On October 14, 2012 @ 4:57 pm LIVE CHAT TONIGHT! – The Biden-Ryan Debate – 6:00 PM PST Sorry but Rachel Maddow: Atlas Flinched” » Posted By foodchain On October 12, 2012 @ 6:34 pm I have a good friend who is RC, a lovely man who spoke the GOP line, is a precinct chairman He voted for Obama as did his nephew; it’s a family secret but they were very proud. And he tells me all the time–he’s 79 and that’s a big deal for him. I take joy and compassion from that. » Posted By foodchain On October 12, 2012 @ 6:30 pm Kes, I loved that part–among many that Joe put out there for us–just get out of the way. He’s a good man; whatever his “gaffes are are so minor to his value, people should just give it up. » Posted By foodchain On October 12, 2012 @ 6:11 pm Nirek, I loved that Joe smile, laughed, showed his shiny teeth every time Ryan lied! No one else has had the —– to do that yet!! And don’t we need that about now. » Posted By foodchain On October 12, 2012 @ 6:08 pm Hi Kalima, it doesn’t matter what homework Paul does because his basic premise does not play on TV or in front of any group that isn’t highly partisan and he knows it now. His problem is that he’s does not lie with the ease of Mitt Romney. His father must have rolled over and wept countless times by now. » Posted By foodchain On October 12, 2012 @ 6:06 pm Why You Shouldn’t Worry About Romney’s Debate Bounce AdLib, Here’s what bothers me: the economy is important and is doing as well as can be realistically expected and we lost that debate. We lost is because no one seemed prepared for Mitt to lie. Fancy that! Or they expected a news moderator to demand the truth. Fancy that! They prepared no contingencies: if Mitt lies, if he challenges, if he’s peevish, is he’s aggressive, not one contingency plan. Fancy that! Civility toward a thief and a liar is viewed as weakness; do no self harm against a thief and liar is not possible with some type of self defense and no one understood that letting yourself get punched makes you look weak. Fancy that! All that said causes me to worry. Foreign policy is even harder to explain than the economy. The changes in the Middle East that we canât control (Get Rummy to put another Shah in Iran, yeah right) donât work into the average or under-informed voterâs mind set because the time frame is too long. Mitt’s foreign policy of America first, be strong, and donât apologize is a hard card to play against even though is dangerously simplistic. So, what to do? Understand every position Mitt has stated related to foreign policy. Have a damn good answer for the embassy killings. Be ready to talk about the money âbully warsâ cost such as Iraq. Talk about how many of the GOP canât leave Afghanistan because you canât announce a timeline and what will Mitt do with that? Stay indefinitely like McCain would do? Point out what the GOP has stalled on re veterans affairs and support. What would Mitt do differently and what would he cut to pay for it? I think a strong strategy would be to tie everything to cost and cuts. Mitt wants a balanced budget, a type of austerity related to spending. Make him explain how he would pay for anything and everything. I still want someone to explain how wealthy individuals create jobs. I know corporations are people but last time I looked wealthy people were not corporations. They hire maids, lawn caretakers, nannies and so on. Not much trickle there. If the economy is readdressed, there is an abundance of data showing that most of the jobs created under George were federal. Under GOP state stewardship, federal and state jobs were cut. Why didnât Georgeâs trickle down work? Why did Reagan raise taxes? Why have jobs increased under Obama even under the government of NO and corporations which refuse to commit to our economic growth? I love Joe, always have » Posted By foodchain On October 10, 2012 @ 3:08 pm Mitt Romney, the only candidate so incapable that he can publicly say that people are commodities and corporations are people. There seems to be no limit to the debasement of the GOP. » Posted By foodchain On October 10, 2012 @ 1:05 pm A Definitve Review of the First Obama-Romney Debate Before it Takes Place Agrippa, agreed. Private ballot means just that to some people and they are not giving out that information. Let’s just hope that they are not the fearful conservatives! » Posted By foodchain On October 3, 2012 @ 10:50 amComments Posted By foodchain
KT, yeah, I grew up thinking I’d be dead before 2000 and people would be living on different planets! It all seemed so far away.
Happy feet here
