I thought it was terrific! » Posted By funksands On December 19, 2013 @ 9:22 pm 😉 [img]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ek6hBmoaeS4[/img] » Posted By funksands On December 19, 2013 @ 11:16 am I thought that some on the Planet would find this of interest. One of the really excellent features of Reddit is their “AMA” feature. Various people from scientists to actors to astronauts come on Reddit and make themselves available to “Ask Me Anything”. The conversations that come from this are often fascinating. Here is the “AMA” for Kshama Sawant, recently elected self-described Socialist for Seattle City Council. This particular AMA occurred shortly before the general election. http://www.reddit.com/r/Seattle/comments/1pp763/my_name_is_kshama_sawant_candidate_for_seattle/ » Posted By funksands On December 15, 2013 @ 10:24 pm Kes, wait until the words “Health Care” are banned in Texas! » Posted By funksands On December 15, 2013 @ 7:27 pm Americans Left Out of Medicaid Fight Back Against GOP Guvs “Obamacare advocates are actively recruiting those left out of the Medicaid expansion in Republican-controlled states to lobby state officials to change their minds and participate in that key provision of the health care reform law. So far, the effort is most organized in Texas, which is also the state with the most people in that Medicaid expansion gap: 1 million. But it’s likely to pick up elsewhere as the Obama administration and outside advocates apply pressure to the 25 states that have resisted expansion for the first year….” http://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/obamacare-medicaid-expansion-political-advocacy (This is a fantastic idea and a movement to get behind) » Posted By funksands On December 13, 2013 @ 1:25 pm Kalima, I was really surprised at the breadth, (if not depth) of comments over there in the “political” arena. Just thought it might be another avenue of exposure for the site. I only give out autographs to people that tattoo it on themselves later. 😉 » Posted By funksands On December 2, 2013 @ 9:29 am Kalima / Ad, is this cool (okay?) http://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/1rwapu/chained_cpi_grand_betrayal_social_security_fix_or/ » Posted By funksands On December 1, 2013 @ 10:53 pm Kalima I love this! Extremists from our ultra-right wing and theirs use each other as convenient tools to prop up their own military and executive power. The mullahs forgave us long ago for deposing their democratically elected prime minister in a coup. After all, its what led to them taking over power. Our government forgave the mullahs long ago for hostages, especially when they agreed to delay the release of those hostages until after the presidential election. Leave it to Obama to mess up a perfectly good scam. » Posted By funksands On November 23, 2013 @ 9:37 pm Nirek, I’m sorry for your friends and glad you made it back alive so you can help remember them. If one more person every day wishes for peace, eventually we’ll make it. » Posted By funksands On November 13, 2013 @ 7:56 pm I’m offscreen to the left. A little pissed that I got cropped out of the shot. 😡 » Posted By funksands On November 13, 2013 @ 7:53 pm Sally this is verrrry interesting. » Posted By funksands On November 13, 2013 @ 7:52 pm Nirek, we’re getting there! http://theweek.com/article/index/237980/10-nonviolent-ways-to-thwart-a-westboronbspbaptist-church-protest » Posted By funksands On November 10, 2013 @ 1:25 pm Kes, he needs to franchise… » Posted By funksands On November 10, 2013 @ 1:22 pm You guys are going to love this article. Massive props to this guy: “Todd Stave has the unenviable position of being the landlord of a building in Germantown, Maryland, which he leases to an abortion provider called Reproductive Health Services Clinic. So he knows a little something about dealing patiently with anti-abortion protesters. But when they started calling him at home at all hours and harassing his family, he got fed up and came up with a very clever solution: Do unto others as they have been doing unto you….” » Posted By funksands On November 8, 2013 @ 5:54 pm An early preview of the Modern Monetary Theory post that I’ll be publishing soon-ish. (Debt default might distract interest in the story). This particular graph was a bit of mind-blower for me. Take a peek at it and see what you think. » Posted By funksands On October 15, 2013 @ 11:07 am Here’s the problem with the Klown Kar Konference talking point about “paying the debts as they come due” or “paying the interest as it comes due”. The problem with this, (which Treasury has pointed out many times) is that in reality the incoming and outgoing flows of money for the federal govt. happen in chunks and trickles from/to many many many different sources/recipients. For example: Here is a list of the incoming revenue and outgoing expenditures of the Treasury over the last several days: Incoming Revenue Outgoing Expenditures October 8th: $4.9 billion $7.5 B – Source: Daily Treasury Statements » Posted By funksands On October 10, 2013 @ 8:48 am Ad, that whimper is Boehner chewing his own leg off to get out of the trap. » Posted By funksands On October 10, 2013 @ 8:39 am Okay, I’m a little weirded out seeing KQuark (or his account) tweeting. Somebody explain?? Did his wife or someone in his family take it over? » Posted By funksands On October 8, 2013 @ 7:41 pm Nirek, no kidding. Maybe “conversation” has a different meaning I’m not aware of? » Posted By funksands On October 8, 2013 @ 7:40 pm “Teaborg” 🙂 » Posted By funksands On October 8, 2013 @ 4:59 pm Great timeline of the Dems futilely trying to bring the GOP to conference on the budget: 1. 4/23 Senator Reid requested unanimous consent to go to conference, Senator Toomey blocked. 2. 5/6 Senator Reid requested unanimous consent to go to conference, Senator Cruz blocked. 3. 5/7 Senator Murray requested unanimous consent to go to conference, Senator McConnell blocked. 4. 5/8 Senator Warner asked unanimous consent to go to conference, Senator McConnell blocked. 5. 5/9 Senator Murray asked unanimous consent to go to conference, Senator McConnell blocked. 6. 5/14 Senator Warner… Senator McConnell blocked. 7. 5/15 Senator Wyden…Senator McConnell blocked. 8. 5/16 Senator Murray…and Senator Lee blocked. 9. 5/21 Senator Murray …Senator Paul blocked. 10. 5/22 Senator Kaine… and Senator Rubio blocked. 11. 5/23 Senator McCaskill asked unanimous consent to go to conference, and Senator Lee blocked. 12. 6/4 Senator Murray … and Senator Rubio blocked. 13. 6/12 Senator Kaine asked… and Senator Lee blocked. 14. 6/19 Senator Murray asked unanimous consent… and Senator Toomey blocked. 15. 6/26 Senator Murray requested… Senator Cruz blocked. 16. 7/11 Senator Murray requested… Senator Marco Rubio blocked. 17. 7/17 Senator Murray requested…, Senator Mike Lee blocked. 18. 8/1 Senator Durbin requested…, Senator Marco Rubio blocked. 19. 10/2 Senator Murray requested… Senator Toomey blocked. » Posted By funksands On October 8, 2013 @ 4:54 pm “The purge has worked, hasn’t it? There is effectively no Republican party any more. There is a radical movement to destroy the modern American state and eviscerate its institutions in favor of restoring a mythical, elysian, majority-white, nineteenth-century past. This crisis is proving that more powerfully than even watching Fox. We need to see what is in front of our nose: a cold civil war has broken out between those properly called conservatives, defending the credit of the government, empirical reality, and adjustments to modern life and those properly called radical reactionaries declaring our current elected president and Senate as illegitimate actors, bent on the destruction of America, and therefore necessitating total political warfare, even to the point of threatening to destroy the global economy.” – Andrew Sullivan » Posted By funksands On October 8, 2013 @ 1:37 pm Kes, my RWNJ father-in-law posted that yesterday. Classic. Never bothered to find out that the Honor Flight that they are referring to were scheduled to be let in anyway. Just the general public was supposed to be kept out. » Posted By funksands On October 3, 2013 @ 4:31 pm Sally, its patently obvious that’s there’s not enough room at the bottom of the list for a pony. » Posted By funksands On October 2, 2013 @ 7:32 pm “Pro tip: The side that wants to shut down the government is the side demanding concessions before they consent to reopening the government” – Ezra Klein » Posted By funksands On October 2, 2013 @ 7:04 pm Kes, I have new-found respect for your ability to speak RWNJ. 😉 » Posted By funksands On October 2, 2013 @ 9:14 am I’ve been driving around all afternoon looking for my local death panel. Everything seems okay so far, but I’m gonna keep moving… Anyone else have an IRS van outside their house? » Posted By funksands On October 1, 2013 @ 5:45 pm Jamie Dupree @jamiedupree Senate Democrats first asked for a conference on the budget resolution on April 23; GOP objected 18 times » Posted By funksands On September 30, 2013 @ 9:42 pm Sally, this is a very interesting article.
