Arianna’s Marie Antoinette Moment

She sounds like a real kink, no doubt first in line for labiaplasty. It is such a real shame how the reconstructive surgery industry went batshit crazy on women’s self esteem.

She’s one of those types that you just want to rub mud in her face and mess up her hair.

That was me, oh nooooo. Not sorry, best to rip the mask off, if you can’t stand her at 6am on a Saturday there is no point in going through with the marriage.

Ah if I could only convince that Chomsky of the day dude to come over.

Tell me that is a photoshop creation, don’t hate the player hate the game of harvesting intellectual property for personal gain. I tolerated just about anything she did with HP{{spit}} because she was honest about her intent from day one; she was going to do a rupert murddock impression. It was when the censorship came down to control the dialog to fit the profit motive, twist the discussion so corporate mind machine came on board, then turned herself into the flag bearer from Les Misérables. The love of money corrupts, absolutely. Is it wrong to say she sleeps her way to the top?

The Daily Planet, Vol. 16

It’s a roller coaster with Dick Durbin but the man is gracious in person, spouts a great line and knows when to seize the moment, here is hopping he can inspire the silent minority.

Tower of Babel

choicelady, thank you for your response, thoughtful and YOU have no reason to be sorry. I hope you could covert the “religious christian right,” you know me by now and I’m pessimistic that your numbers will do little to redeem the faith. Good people devote themselves to it, and do much good but it is the people not the institution.

I have faith in humanity and if there was no church those people would simply continue to build “an empathic nation,” within any number of social institutions. My minors in Religious Studies and Philosophy (first time round) helped me understand the flaw is not in the parable, myth or faith but in it’s real world practice.

I’ve met the Dalai Lama, Desmond Tutu, John Paul II and all had hearts of pure platinum. You sound to be in good company, but that is far cry from the corporate church. I am grateful for the good people of ‘your’ congregation, they are woefully outnumbered on a planet where Honest Faith is far from dominant in power.

Your long comments are enjoyable reads and I have a while before they come for me with the cross(too much?). Stay the course of love.

Now now, we all know the tower was actually disassembled by Nebuchadnezzar II and used to build the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, so I would say Jehovah is more like Johnny Knoxville.

The repression of multicultural histories when accepting the christian collective narrative as literal is so dangerous. Large empires are not eternal. As I listened to newt talk last night of his first action after taking the wh would be to encourage Israel to relocate its capitol to Jerusalem, Oy vey! Myth recycling, prophetic history and self fulfilling.

Choice, your faith in practice is a rare commodity, if you can read and preach without the “literal” dogma all the better for your congregation. Faith has always, whether christian or other, been a tool of control, sometimes used for good. My crisis came as I was finishing Catechism, as RC, this is when you finally hear the bad history. When a people are oppressed faith gives them the strength to overcome, when faith is wielded by power it does power’s will.

Thanks, that was a new revelation for me(whole astro stuff) when someone here posted, must have been zeitgeist or something. It’s always a road trip with you, pick me up when you reach IN.

Adams is dead now, so I can speak for him and say the babel fish is a thinly veiled allusion to Jesus. “Meanwhile, the poor Babel fish, by effectively removing all barriers to communication between different races and cultures, has caused more and bloodier wars than anything else in the history of creation.” DA

Yes Virginia, There is Class Warfare

You are a loyalist, it is admirable. I’ve seen 50 years of legislation that revolves like Goldam Sachs front door. On paper my situation should look improved, but the net result is a negative. My highest income was achieved in 1985-86 despite doubling my education. Walk softly and compromise, finish by validating the countries second worst journalist before a superbowl.

You posted about your work with FDA(?) chicken regs and the complex legal minutia. How do you stay so positive? I wish DC, the DNC and democrats would make their stand now, but we only take steps foreword to mitigate the quick time in reverse. If IN, OH and WI among others hadn’t been such underdogs they too would have caved to demands and this would be not even been a blip. The took the nothing to loose stance and gained the world, that is winning strategy in a recession. I can wait, no real change subtle shifts, 30% cc interest but full 3 week notice for monthly billing, lots of new $7hr jobs, austerity to battle debt. War is waged but not because we like it…meh it’s a mess, NSA and Homeland is out of control but polls say people are still scared. 4 years and dems let the tide slide but 2012 may get hot from bagger fallout? I don’t carry an end is nigh sign, more like will work for food.

Tfl- I often get too excited when listening to Moore speak and forget he is so easily ignored by msm. I daydream about a public round table hosted by him with Chavez and Obama.

That is the message to keep pounding in their thick skulls, they are so evil. I wrote some pundits asking them to stop submitting to the cuts assertions of the gop, we need to raise taxes not cut them.

Good stuff,putting it on my wall, eeeeeeeeeeeee.

Thanks for the repost link, I forget there’s a history here before 2011.

We run schools like a local corporation most are referred to as such, there is no national standard for funding in public institutions. It is based on land, property taxes and why the debate is a local one for IN and WI. Urban and rural communities pitted against each other. Few even address this core discrepancy. Small changes, boggling legislation is proposed as a start to the fix, it is not a fix it is a band-aid, it is a deflection. It is why the libertarian argument today is fractionally true.

I roll your critique in my head and try to address things like service industry, firefighters, police, hospitals etc., and think that when banking and corporate structures are reset to a new goal…then this is where public service picks up not a living wage but equal compensation. Trickle down reform. I don’t have all the answers because like many we get jammed up on how to get there from here, without loosing a significant portion of the population. Start by busting the money men, then make sure any solution starts with the premise 100% inclusion(like civil rights and SS did No one left behind) and eventually you can get to non-profit schools, police, fire, and service industry in general.

eg- I’m a janitor for a hospital, what is my wage? Community average, same as the doc, nurse and CEO of the MRI manufacturing plant.

Worth every visit, should be viral or at least be a reoccuring short and a political add prologue.

Hello my name is ghsts.

Fear of rejection? I submitted an article for proposal and was really proud, til I read it then panicked that it might be offense to some here, hasn’t been approve yet. I don’t translate well without smileys but it’s a humor thing, that is lost in the ether on the internet. Read me like you would Carlin.

The world is a viscous dangerous place, always has been. Reading that story now, thanks for the link.

You won’t be surprised when I tell you no, I DON’T mean a living wage, I mean part ownership in the company. Same compensation for same effort, same risk, capitol is just bullocks. I want to see one cuban VC, corporate CEO try to make a dime in the US. Risk should be tied to privilege-access to the market not corporate socialism.

I’m not going to pick a fight, but…the dems had this same decision a few months back. They should have packed up in force, let the gw cuts expire and shit like walker wouldn’t have even made it to committee. More importantly the media doesn’t own us and like I’ve said before more people were watching sheen for the past two years than becko.

It’s like everyone was waiting for MLK or FDR, got sold that then the DNC went awol. Grass roots activists don’t make the front page, so front page people have to step up(see HP{{spit}} themed threads here for the anger against those who twist the knife.)

AR-I’m not sure on CA laws, every state is slightly different. Unless you have started a trust with over 20 people, are seeking to buy out an large existing manufacturing plant with massive physical assets, or where you are going to pool more than $2mm you should avoid “traditional” incorporation like the plague. It’s a legal, tax and semantics game or should I say trap.

I will make an assumption that you don’t want to start a corp but a partnership or LLC. CL’s links are a great start but unless you want to be a kind despot starting with Venture Capitol, ie investor money, you want no employees only partners. When your initial start up is running successfully and you hit your first or second expansion of new partners to the point where you stress the credulity of the tax laws you can easily reorganize to form the more complex corp structures with only slight back tax penalties.

You’ve got such a great heart, smart as a whip, not afraid to learn, so jump into the net for real business advice cause we need more businesses started by women like yourself. Unless you’ve been squeaking, I doubt your sitting on a personal pile of tens of millions, in that case first buy a hired legal gun.

**EDIT- For female first time business owners there is tons of govt sponsored startup and matching funds programs that require a traditional incorporation to qualify. Like I said I think it’s a trap but then DC wants to encourage your inner demons, sometimes a benevolent despot is the only way they will let you play the game.

Well put Choice, everything you said is sound advice.

It is a resurgence of Social Anarchism or as the English call it Libertarianism. End the wage slave meme of this country and soon we will be right there with Cooley. I’m beaming with the self satisfaction of calling it before WI, wake up and stop pandering to the right, stand up for the LEFTIST movements that fight back and the people will rally to support change.

Choice, I am so with you on EITC if only I hadn’t gone back to school racked up another $15k in debt I would be all over that like white on white rice.

Awesome speech, had to listen to it a second time. “Please tell this story correctly …the pundits were caught by surprise by Egypt and they don’t still understand after nearly three weeks what’s going on in Madison.” What’s going on here, is it a revolt against the gop or imo a revolt on the policy of placating the gop? Wake the fuck up Democrats in Washington D.C.!

A Brief History of Poetry

As the morning breaks I hear the sun.

Lean out of the window ~ James Joyce

Lean out of the window,
Goldenhair,
I hear you singing
A merry air.

My book was closed,
I read no more,
Watching the fire dance
On the floor.

I have left my book,
I have left my room,
For I heard you singing
Through the gloom.

Singing and singing
A merry air,
Lean out of the window,
Goldenhair.

Goldenhair ~ Syd Barrett

Excellent, Russians are so hard to work through, that is wonderfully sublime, the holy trinity of fear. Triggers the memories of Milton, paradise regained for some reason:

A third sort doubted all things, though plain sense;
Others in virtue placed felicity

One thing about Montana I genuinely get fed up with

“Once Were Warriors” comes to mind with tragedies like these.
Grace Heke: Why’s everything so black, Toot?
Toot: Dunno – maybe cos we’re all bloody Maoris!
