He paid the mortgages and taxes and took half the profits. He turned over the rest – along with the farms – to the three families when they returned to Sacramento in 1945…” Read more here: http://www.kansascity.com/2013/05/31/4266527/bob-fletcher-who-saved-farms-of.html#storylink=cpy http://www.kansascity.com/2013/05/31/4266527/bob-fletcher-who-saved-farms-of.html » Posted By funksands On June 10, 2013 @ 8:33 pm Sally that was beautiful. Great way to close a good day. » Posted By funksands On May 13, 2013 @ 3:00 pm Kes, I can’t imagine how surgery could improve on your existing perfection, but I’m eager to see the results! I have collected many of my hard-won karma coupons and am sending them too you overnight. Please don’t thank me, just use them. See you soon. » Posted By funksands On May 12, 2013 @ 11:39 am Sally, this is deeply deeply messed up on so many levels. I’m with Florence….speechless. » Posted By funksands On March 28, 2013 @ 5:46 pm Kes, that at least makes sense…. » Posted By funksands On March 28, 2013 @ 5:45 pm Kes, it was illegal for a douchebag to marry a white woman in his state? That’s terrible. » Posted By funksands On March 28, 2013 @ 10:46 am Sally, that was pretty crappy. How it got inserted anonymously without any committee review or comment was even crappier. I’ll assume the President knew it was in there, and can only assume he simply didn’t want to send back a budget bill that was up against a hard deadline for govt. shutdown. Either way, it still sucks. » Posted By funksands On March 28, 2013 @ 10:45 am Amen to that! » Posted By funksands On March 27, 2013 @ 2:15 pm audadvnc: Was it any good? » Posted By funksands On March 27, 2013 @ 10:44 am DOMA going down. That’s my prediction. Since no corporations will be harmed, Roberts may even get on board. Soon this will join other toxic laws signed by Clinton on the scrapheap of history. 🙂 » Posted By funksands On March 27, 2013 @ 9:43 am
» Posted By funksands On March 26, 2013 @ 8:51 pm Kes, certainly there are far more than the 147 mentioned in the article as the # of relationships one person can directly have, but the theme of the article is right. Every Republican in Congress qualifies That’s a couple hundred already. » Posted By funksands On March 26, 2013 @ 8:45 pm Sally, if Kagan had her way, Tony Randall would have never been able to have a child at 78 years old like God intended. » Posted By funksands On March 26, 2013 @ 8:43 pm THIS >>>>> The 147 People Destroying the World March 25, 2013 | “Can 147 people perpetuate economic injustice – and make it even worse? Can they subvert the workings of democracy, both abroad and here in the United States? Can 147 people hijack the global economy, plunder the environment, build a world for themselves that serves the few and deprives the many?” The article is okay, but its theme hits on a big pet peeve of mine: We should name them specifically and never ever fall into the trap of talking about how “the rich” or “the corporations” are all screwing us. It’s not only lazy, but its counterproductive because it distracts from the laser-focus we should have on these assholes. http://www.alternet.org/147-people-destroying-world » Posted By funksands On March 26, 2013 @ 10:59 am AB, there’s always email my dear…. » Posted By funksands On March 20, 2013 @ 8:09 pm Kes, likely dancing on the ashes of Tehran celebrating victory.

What a farce. » Posted By funksands On March 19, 2013 @ 9:01 pm Happy 10th Anniversary of the Iraq War everyone [img]http://blog.cleveland.com/world_impact/2009/09/large_camp-bucca-iraq-closed.jpg[/img] » Posted By funksands On March 18, 2013 @ 10:26 pm Nirek they never have: This strategy dates back to the Nixon adminstration. See: Jude Wanniski “But Wanniski had been doing his homework on how to sell supply-side economics. In 1976, he rolled out to the hard-right insiders in the Republican Party his “Two Santa Clauses” theory, which would enable the Republicans to take power in America for the next thirty years. Democrats, he said, had been able to be “Santa Clauses” by giving people things from the largesse of the federal government. Republicans could do that, too – spending could actually increase. Plus, Republicans could be double Santa Clauses by cutting people’s taxes! For working people it would only be a small token – a few hundred dollars a year on average – but would be heavily marketed. And for the rich it would amount to hundreds of billions of dollars in tax cuts. The rich, in turn, would use that money to import or build more stuff to market, thus increasing supply and stimulating the economy. And that growth in the economy would mean that the people still paying taxes would pay more because they were earning more. There was no way, Wanniski said, that the Democrats could ever win again. They’d have to be anti-Santas by raising taxes, or anti-Santas by cutting spending. Either one would lose them elections.” https://www.commondreams.org/view/2009/01/26-0 » Posted By funksands On March 13, 2013 @ 8:31 pm Ad, that’s really great news! Alas Washington State couldn’t figure out how to get ‘er done: Washington Gun Control Bill Fails In State House “OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — A contentious proposal to expand background checks on Washington state gun sales failed Tuesday in the state House, where supporters said they were just a handful of votes short. In a final effort to pick up a few extra votes, Rep. Jamie Pedersen, D-Seattle, had proposed a referendum clause that would have allowed the public to vote on the measure. He initially believed that would draw enough support to corral the 50 votes needed to pass the bill but conceded Tuesday night that others had dropped their backing because of that shift. “It was too big of a stretch for this year,” Pedersen said.” » Posted By funksands On March 13, 2013 @ 8:27 pm KT, this is very sad news. Losing someone so young, especially after fighting their way out from depression feels really unfair. I hope you and her mom are holding up okay. » Posted By funksands On March 6, 2013 @ 4:26 pm Are you saying that my “Gangrenosaurus” is a poor choice for a children’s party? Forsooth. » Posted By funksands On March 5, 2013 @ 10:12 am Thanks Choice! Yeah go figure that I was able to overcome the Kenyan Marxist Usurper Tyrant’s evil policies. Just wait until the ACA kicks in, that’s when my family will finally be able to breathe again. » Posted By funksands On March 5, 2013 @ 10:10 am Kalima, thanks so much for the kind words. Moving to another country to start a business involves a level of confidence and bravery I simply don’t have. I’m glad you guys have been able to pull it off. Realistically though I could have never done it without my wife being willing to stay home and raise our boys. She created the space and time I needed in the early years to get anything done. » Posted By funksands On March 5, 2013 @ 10:08 am AB, running Civil War re-enactments for children’s parties is a pretty low-margin business. Had a few lean years, but everything really turned the corner with my copyrighted “Antietam Charlie’s Kooky Surgical Tent”. » Posted By funksands On March 4, 2013 @ 9:03 pm Nirek, thanks so much! And yes, your daughter hiring someone is all Obama’s fault. 🙂 » Posted By funksands On March 4, 2013 @ 3:09 pm Kes, thank you nice lady. » Posted By funksands On March 4, 2013 @ 3:09 pmComments Posted By funksands
“The Rich” and “The Corporations” are NOT destroying America. CERTAIN rich people and CERTAIN corporations are. We know who the are. We know how they’re doing it. Its just a tiny tiny cabal of plutocrats, oligarchs, evil corporations and their minions and flunkies.
