Time Out for O/T – Vol. 15

K: Thanks. What a waste of what could have been something transformational.

Cher: I would bet a dollar that the photos will get “leaked” without the White House’s permission or knowledge. They’ll get mad about it, but *sigh* I guess its out there now. So be it.

They do turn in a bit early here don’t they? 🙂

Chase:

When you can’t type “Bush” without modifying it, that finally made me snap.

Spending ten minutes trying to figure out how to modify two sentences and a link to show up at the top of a thread simply is time I don’t have anymore.

I’ve got an old profile that I think is still active over there just in case I get remorseful.

Just deleted my account over at HPAOL. It was past time to do so. Feel better already. Sent out some invites to some really nice posters that I have enjoyed over the last year to come visit this site.

FC, I really like that quote a lot. It explains the behavior of too many people I know.

Abby, I can hack a voting machine in about 10 minutes. That is wrong obviously and against the law, and I would never advocate anyone doing this.

But there it is.

I’m glad he’s gone. Really. Less evil in the world is always a good thing.

I hope that some of the families of the Cole, the embassies in Africa, Spain, London, etc etc will get one good nights sleep tonight.

I can’t help but feel like I’ve taken a wrecking ball to my house to get rid of a stubborn roach problem. In the end was it worth it?

Adonai, NO! This proves that everything is working great!!!

According to CNN / MSNBC. US-initiated.

They killed Bin Laden.

I hoping that he just wants to share some of his ‘B’ side material from the WHC Dinner.

Kes, that is very sound advice. 🙂

National security related. Yikes.

Obama to give rare Sunday evening address at 10:30 pm ET

Harold Camping, president of Family Stations Ministry, has been preaching for some time now to a vast and devoted national audience that God’s plan is to inaugurate the Second Coming and end the world by flooding on May 21, 2011 (thus achieving a Judeo-Christian planetary closure before the prime current pagan rival, the end of the Mayan calendar, scheduled for December 21, 2012.)

My son’s 12th birthday party is that day. Do you think I should tell any of the guests about their impending doom?

KT, Speaking from experience, it reminds me of the trash-talking on the basketball court.

Most pickup games I played in were a 1 hour non-stop jab-fest designed to get into the head of your opponent.

Adonai, I find Obama funny because he finds himself so funny. It’s a very endearing quality.

When I hear my President say the words: “Now Donald Trump can focus on where Biggie and Tupac are..” I have two thoughts.

1) How cool and hilarious this moment is.

2) How the hell did our country get to this point?

Ad, I think it is both. Thomm Hartmann has mentioned several times a tour he took of a right-wing think tank in DC with row upon row of college interns busily chipping away at the information on the internet, specifically wikipedia and other information clearinghouses.

Piling interns and employees and other minions into the anonymous public discussion pool seems to be a logical next step.

There are only a handful of malevolent billionaires and corporations and their minions doing all of this. The trick is to puff up their public presence with money and information to the point that people begin to see it as a legitimate mainstream belief set.

“Wow there sure is a lot of people and organizations that believe this, so let’s give it credence.”

Bito:

A recurring thread that runs through certain segments of American society: The belief that human development reaches it’s best state while it is struggling, striving and capitalistic. Once there is no more struggle people get too comfortable and then society begins to die.

Combine this with the concepts of Muscular Christianity and Domininism and you have a really nasty stew of thought.

I suspect this has been posted before, but it is really intersting, courtesy of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

The People’s Budget

Abby? Why don’t they bring it up? They’re lazy. If it isn’t a disaster or some sort of political competition or human interest story the mass media simply doesn’t have interest or resources to dedicate.

Part of it involves the gutting of the “news” divisions of these organizations. Without journalists on staff, the investigation of topics is a mile wide and an inch deep.

As far as the social contract goes, the disconnect is even more stark. Between late 2007 and 2009 the unemployment rate essentially rose from 5% to 9%. To ultra-right wingers this means that 5 million people SUDDENLY became lazy and decided to drop out of society.

*blink*

Governor Rick Perry: All hat…no cattle

After slashing public education by 13% in order to balance the Texas state budget and to keep his no new taxes pledge (which by the way will cause education funding to fall so low that it breaks state law, which will necessitate a re-writing of that law).

And trumpeting their balanced budget far and wide……Ready for it?

….And then “boom” back to the teet!!

WASHINGTON — In a huge victory for Gov. Rick Perry and state Republican lawmakers, the federal budget deal reached last Friday includes a provision repealing a 2010 congressio­nal measure that has held up $832 million in federal education aid to Texas.

After a behind-the­-scenes lobbying campaign spearheade­d by Perry, U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Dallas, and U.S. Rep. Michael Burgess, R-Lewisvil­le, the provision was quietly inserted into the late-night deal that prevented the federal government from shutting down.

Great find! Thanks!

Abby, don’t let it get you down. Think of it like I do: As a fight to keep getting eaten by a pack of hyenas. Kicks in the ol’ survival instinct. 🙂
