Time Out for O/T – Vol. 15

The Nation, imo, had a pretty right slant goldwater republicants, I might have missed something. Good to see them calling out bagger panderers. gop doesn’t like Hick-He-Be, he would be just as reckless as palin on a ticket, and the real money men know this is true. Mittens is their guy if the nation can stomach a non-protestant.

Does this mean the Nation has repented, or that the gop is distancing itself from racism? I’ll take it either way.

No, it’s not true, you can’t make me believe it, infinity x 2.

KQuark- dooh! I didn’t even know you were an anmin, Smiley

I’ve got too much time on my hands these days, Planetpov gets more than she wants on occasion. We often forget this is a small room and not a corner of Hyde Park, but if I still lived in London I would go there every day. If you listen to midwest liberals under the age of 80yrs you must do so with the volume turned way down.

DC will never stand up for us, the past four years have proven that to the point of apathy.

I listened to AirAmreica since its inception, when Franken went it I celebrated. After he proposed his first piece of legislation, I said Damn Strait! Then his committee votes went partyline so now I hang my head.

How bout a PlanetPOV press badge, are you attending? CSPAN broadcasts at least one round-table live but it’s usually a look at all the big wigs. That ticket price good but getting there and eating is the killer for most Americans regarding most quality discussions and political rallies.

Thank god, Hotel??, there was at least one on that list I never knew existed. For the 90’s I get up to 50%, so there is hope for me yet.

These are always great forums, I hope they will offer some free webcasts of events for those who cannot attend. Calling all press, attend and inform the rest of us here, ha.

I’ll read the NYT piece next trip to the public library, but know the basic story and I always reflect on Manning.

Buddy, whenever I’m watching cspan and they cut to viewer calls I have to change the channel, perfect rush or gibbs parroting mixed with ‘ah, uh, let me tell you crazy honesty,’ all too uncomfortable to watch or listen. Even the calm, talking points versions on meet the press make me squirm.

“Cheap political points scoring,” it’s already in the constitution, 1st Amendment “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”

Typical they only read the bold face print.

Suicidal tendencies, monsieur Lepew. The growth in the market is in the disenfranchised.

Just because Cher and KT started a love-in, everyone is welcome. Around 4:20 mark for topical relevance, (7:30 for the polecats out there.)

Xanadu, the guys at NASA have such a fabulous sense of humor, ONJ was so pretty.

Debra Hood wrote a fabulous piece there, facts and case law…what a gem, thanks for the link Sabreen60!

Beautiful, I watched that gif for a full two minutes, poetic.

AR- Great start, those are the raw salaries now do the faux news treatment and figure in the compensation and pension for real cost per annum for taxpayers.

New tactic, balance WI budget with cuts to legislator compensation, start with Walker then trickle down the joy.

I hear you and think I understand what you are saying. If the nuclear family produces toxic stressors then our genetic mutations that mitigate these toxins will become more prevalent(Darwinism?) Darwinism of any kind has no business in human sociology. Really, I think Soul Coughing says it best.

@whatsthatsound- I’ll stick to my guns, deny your premise about the nuclear family, and say once again it is immoral to scientifically test my hypothesis. The nuclear family is a relatively new thing and still not the norm for the world. You try to tell the gop, christians, western and global cultures to stop experimenting with population, but sooner or later “this” experiment will end. The real question is can you repeat the results, without war, pandemic, gop, class system, xenophobia, greed, let alone Consistent mores. If it were “clear” we wouldn’t be scared shitless 24/7.

Wonderful, a toast to my heroes! Good vibe, great attitude from everyone in that vid, nice to see smiling guards at a protest.

Around here 60% are “In god We Trust,” it took me a while but I’m pretty sure it’s the green cyclops with the pyramid helmet.

I was going to wait for Cher to post this but pride goeth before the fall or in this case after the fall. Today’s shout out to a fellow College of Engineer and Purdue Alumni Essam Sharaf, now help make Egypt better!

Cautious optimism, to follow. At least he has that sciencey thing going, GO BOILERS!

Please tell me no rabbits were harmed in that production.

Play on both, literally an anagram glass house stone throwing society, ghost as in specter you don’t know who I was, unless you read the clues, exCIA, as in the other Marley, people generally don’t like what I say so I haunt them in their homes, boo! (which incidentally is my nieces nickname, Boo.) So tell me your story.

Guinier sounds like a variation on the multiparty system, I’ve got it on my reading list for today, thanks for the tip!

Equal pay for equal effort is proof. In cultures that don’t devalue “menial labour” there’s less violence and class oppression(still have to deal with race, age and sex). In our system, working for hollywood or a bank you would still have free hookers and coke but then if the janitor was part owner in the bank he could write off his hookers and coke too.
