Time Out for O/T – Vol. 18

🙂 Do you wonder that Sally? Do you really? If so, then you are even more fabulous than I thought you were already.

Kes, Kaptur should pretend to nod off during the debate, or perhaps assemble a sandwich onstage.

Murph what a great story. What a shame that something this odious has to happen to sway good people to make a good decision.

I think you’ll find this interesting.

Sally for sure. They still are pretty conservative compared to other papers around the country.

They did endorse Obama in 2008 also.

Food- for sure. Keep in mind though that the Trib is the liberal paper in Utah. All good mormons read the Desert News. Still they are only liberal comparatively, and certainly not objectively.

Salt Lake Tribune endorses Obama

“Too many Mitts
Obama has earned another term”

“….Sadly, it is not the only Romney, as his campaign for the White House has made abundantly clear, first in his servile courtship of the tea party in order to win the nomination, and now as the party’s shape-shifting nominee. From his embrace of the party’s radical right wing, to subsequent portrayals of himself as a moderate champion of the middle class, Romney has raised the most frequently asked question of the campaign: “Who is this guy, really, and what in the world does he truly believe?”

“…Where, we ask, is the pragmatic, inclusive Romney, the Massachusetts governor who left the state with a model health care plan in place, the Romney who led Utah to Olympic glory? That Romney skedaddled and is nowhere to be found.”

“…In the first months of his presidency, Obama acted decisively to stimulate the economy. His leadership was essential to passage of the badly needed American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Though Republicans criticize the stimulus for failing to create jobs, it clearly helped stop the hemorrhaging of public sector jobs. The Utah Legislature used hundreds of millions in stimulus funds to plug holes in the state’s budget.”

“…Therefore, our endorsement must go to the incumbent, a competent leader who, against tough odds, has guided the country through catastrophe and set a course that, while rocky, is pointing toward a brighter day. The president has earned a second term. Romney, in whatever guise, does not deserve a first.”

Wow.

😯

Curry and cinnamon and suger coated walnuts? I guess the non stop campaign barrage in Ohio has finally gotten to you? 😉

That website is hilarious! I managed to find a shot of Mitt and Ann in the house. Look how terrified he is!!

Atta boy.

Y’all ready for tonight? I have a gin martini and vodka martini prepared depending on how the debate goes.

Only one thing will happen for sure: Nearly everyone is going to overreact…..and I love it.

You guys are gonna love this. Check out the video at :11. Does Romney or does Romney not take a piece of paper out of his pocket and throw it on the lecturn? Watch his right hand.

I do believe that is a foul. A foul I say!!! Is that a foul?

Nirek, couldn’t agree more. There is no such thing as “clean coal”.

That said, the President believes that technology exists that can be developed to make coal “clean”.

That’s why 3.5 billion of stimulus money went to organizations that are researching and developing “clean coal” facilities and tech.

Kes -That’s why I wrote it! This is President Obama’s “It Gets Better” with some slight alterations.

Seriously, who the hell are these guys?

“I don’t mind if you raise my taxes, just treat with the proper deference or you are Hitler”

WTF!!?

Ad, that could be book 2. Book 1 is where George Bailey takes a job in Mr. Potter’s bank and becomes a real dickhead.

It Gets Better

We’ve got to dispel the myth that bullying is just a normal rite of passage – that it’s some inevitable part of being a billionaire. It’s not. We have an obligation to ensure that our markets, banks, and private golf courses are safe for all of our billionaires. And to every heir or heiress out there you need to know that if you’re in trouble, there are caring lobbyists who can help.

I don’t know what it’s like to be picked on for being ultra-wealthy. But I do know what it’s like to grow up feeling that sometimes you don’t belong. It’s tough. And for a lot of the super-rich, the sense of being alone or apart – I know can just wear on you. And when you’re teased or bullied, it can seem like somehow you brought it on yourself – for being different, or for not fitting in with everybody else.

But what I want to say is this. You are not alone. You didn’t do anything wrong. You didn’t do anything to deserve being bullied. And there is a whole world waiting for you, filled with possibilities. There are people out there who love you and care about you just the way you are.

And so, if you ever feel like because of bullying, because of what people are saying, that you’re getting down on yourself, you’ve got to make sure to reach out to people you trust. Whether it’s your estate attorney, ferrari dealer, personal assistant, folks that you know care about you just the way you are. You’ve got to reach out to them, don’t feel like you’re in this by yourself.

The other thing you need to know is, things will get better. And more than that, with time you’re going to see that your differences are a source of pride and a source of strength. You’ll look back on the struggles you’ve faced with compassion and wisdom. And that’s not just going to serve you, but it will help you get involved and make this country a better place.

Today’s big news:

The BLS discover they’ve understated jobs growth by 32k/mth over the year thru March

What that means is that there has now been a net job gain since Jan 2009.

We’ve added an average of 169k a month or 5 million jobs since then.

I heard Obama COULD raise the Medicare eligibility age to 100. It could happen…

Kalima, any word on whether or not the crude wooden bowl they found was in fact evidence of Jesus’ participation in Galilean key parties?

Kes, that was great. 🙂

Ad, I applaud Bernie for holding the President’s feet to the fire.

The article however is deeply lame.

HP turned a comment from Sanders about wanting to hear the President say: “We’re not going to touch Social Security”

and

A comment from Axelrod that “We’ll discuss SS later” into a hidden plan to dismantle the safety net.

Nirek, the great thing about science is that its true whether you believe it or not.

Reid Accuses Brown, GOP Of Stalling Vote In Order To Miss Debate

BOSTON (CBS) – Sen. Scott Brown and challenger Elizabeth Warren met for the first time on Thursday, in a debate that was nearly postponed.

Earlier in the day, with the Senate in session, Brown told WBZ-TV debate moderator Jon Keller he would remain in Washington until voting had ended for the day.

What offends me are people that are offended by some teenage mother in Cleveland using foodstamps that aren’t hers, but AREN’T offended by the Pentagon admitting they can’t account for 2.1 Trillion dollars in taxpayer money.

So if there is 1 person scamming welfare we should dismantle it? 20 people? 100 people?

Because there are lazy people we should end programs for everyone?

Because there are grifters we should cut benefits for everyone?

Shit, Boeing was convicted of fraud against the Federal Govt. and they are having their best year ever.

KQ, too true. I wonder what % of people are out there thinking: “Yeah, that’s me, but Romney doesn’t mean ME does he?” and what % are thinking: “F YOU Mittens!”
