Displaying 91 To 120 Of 259 Comments whiny and fickle, that’s your progressive “base” for ya 😛 » Posted By jan4insight On January 19, 2010 @ 7:04 pm Yeah, that’s the saddest part of the whole thing. Never underestimate the stupidity of the American voter – and their inability to learn how it works! » Posted By jan4insight On January 19, 2010 @ 6:58 pm Anyone here on Facebook – you can go vent your spleen at this site ~ http://www.facebook.com/BirdMass?ref=mf » Posted By jan4insight On January 19, 2010 @ 6:53 pm Fanned, Khirad, if I can do that on this site! » Posted By jan4insight On January 19, 2010 @ 6:52 pm Make that 1984 (George Orwell version) » Posted By jan4insight On January 19, 2010 @ 6:50 pm Well, shite. I agree with just about everyone who’s posted below and I’d add some choice comments if you all hadn’t already exhausted my supply of swear words. It sounds like the MA Dems just threw in the towel before they even started. Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame!!!!!! » Posted By jan4insight On January 19, 2010 @ 6:41 pm Amen again! » Posted By jan4insight On January 19, 2010 @ 6:22 pm Well the results should start showing up about half an hour from now. I think I’ll spend my media time this evening watching DemocracyNow.org on the web. Amy Goodman did her broadcast today from Port au Prince, Haiti. Should be good reporting, and probably a lot more cheerful than any other media show I can think of tonight (that last sentence was snark, btw 😉 ) » Posted By jan4insight On January 19, 2010 @ 5:09 pm Thought I’d share this article from Open Left. It might help with the rumor control as we watch the Mass elections results come in tonight: http://www.openleft.com/diary/16999/some-helpful-information-about-the-massachusetts-election Note: these guys at Open Left are pretty good on the numbers, and wizards on policy & process, imo. » Posted By jan4insight On January 19, 2010 @ 2:17 pm Democratic Navel-Gazing, or The Circular Firing Squad – Part I Especially breaking in as a liberal/ environmentalist on a commission dominated by repub development-lovers! » Posted By jan4insight On January 18, 2010 @ 7:48 pm Your Dad, like bito’s, is the best! » Posted By jan4insight On January 18, 2010 @ 7:27 pm I have served in an appointed position as a county planning commissioner – it’s no snap of the fingers, that’s for sure! » Posted By jan4insight On January 18, 2010 @ 7:26 pm Your Dad is the best! » Posted By jan4insight On January 18, 2010 @ 7:24 pm That » Posted By jan4insight On January 18, 2010 @ 6:51 pm The Haitian People Need Everyone’s Help Recommended news source: I have been following the CNN web page for new updates, and their twitter feed is especially informative and timely: http://twitter.com/cnnbrk/haiti?hpt=T1 » Posted By jan4insight On January 17, 2010 @ 10:57 am Just saw this from the CNN twitter feed: “Spoke to the Haitian community today @ their church They made ribbons: black because the old #haiti is buried, red b/c it will rise again” I’ve been feeling it, too – this meme that here is a chance for Haiti to rebuild in the best way possible. So sad that so much devastation has taken place. » Posted By jan4insight On January 17, 2010 @ 10:55 am Yes, I heard Pres. Clinton say that he and Hillary had first gone there shortly after their marriage – they were given frequent flier miles by a family friend as a “delayed” honeymoon present. I find it remarkable and touching that they are now both so intimately involved in helping with this recovery and rebuilding effort 🙂 » Posted By jan4insight On January 17, 2010 @ 10:41 am Welcome news! the Doctors Without Borders cargo plane, the one carrying their much-needed inflatable hospital, has finally landed! (It had been refused permission due to congestion at the airport.) Another plane to arrive in a couple hours. I got this info from the CNN twitter feed, which is fascinating: And also see http://doctorswithoutborders.org » Posted By jan4insight On January 17, 2010 @ 10:38 am The 7.0 Earthquake in Haiti will be absolutely devastating to the people of this country. And the latest is, venerable gasbag Pat Robertson has come out with his stump speech about how it’s Gawd’s punishment because Haiti “made a pact with the devil” 😛 If you need a link, it’s on the front page of HP (where else?) I don’t know which is more despicable, the insanely vicious utterances of Robertson, or the fact that the media actually finds them worthy of repeating ad infinitem 😛 😛 » Posted By jan4insight On January 13, 2010 @ 4:10 pm Where to donate, how to help: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34834553/ns/msnbc_tv-rachel_maddow_show » Posted By jan4insight On January 13, 2010 @ 11:13 am One difference, as you mentioned, is building codes – something the Repug’s would love to do away with because that requires the big bad gubmint “telling people what to do.” » Posted By jan4insight On January 13, 2010 @ 11:12 am Rashomon 5: Eight Views of Tonight’s Headlines YW, all. And it’s time for me to turn in now, too 😉 » Posted By jan4insight On January 13, 2010 @ 12:02 am Here’s where to find out how to help – list of where to donate to Haitian relief effort: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34834553/ns/msnbc_tv-rachel_maddow_show » Posted By jan4insight On January 12, 2010 @ 11:53 pm I just came from HP, and they give Bill Maher’s flogging of the “move your money” thing top billing over Haiti! Btw, the best reporting I’ve seen so far on the devastation in Haiti was on Rachel M show. Her website gives links to the various organizations that are collecting donations to help with the rescue and relief effort, which will begin as soon as they know for sure if the planes can land at Port Au Prince airport. Apparently the airport was relatively free from damage, so that should begin soon. » Posted By jan4insight On January 12, 2010 @ 11:23 pm Weekly Seminar, Winter Quarter No probs, Cher. And now that I think about it, imo it’s even worse with this talking-point thing coming from the left, because isn’t critical thinking supposed to be one of our hallamrks? Just wonderin’ » Posted By jan4insight On January 11, 2010 @ 3:04 pm What I meant, Cher, was that there is a similarity in the way the same three talking points from each side get repeated (by their respective sides) without a lot of critical thinking or examination of the validity of the talking points. I wasn’t saying that the talking points themselves were equivalent. And I do think the left’s talking points should be examined! Which Keven is doing in this OP. » Posted By jan4insight On January 11, 2010 @ 2:49 pm Take it & run with it, Keven 🙂 » Posted By jan4insight On January 10, 2010 @ 9:28 pm Yes, indeed. It seems like half the comments I post on that other site are my attempts to counteract the relentless whining of the fair-weather Prog’s (or quislings, as I’ve taken to calling them, which probably doesn’t win me a lot of readers). In addition to their childish impatience, as a whole they seem to display an appalling lack of knowledge about how our government basically works. They seem to think Obama can just put on his magic cape, whip out his Jedi sword, and beat the offending parties and persons into submission. After 8 years of top-down, authoritarian, imperial presidency coming from the previous admin, why any one of us would want to see that repeated – even if it comes from “our” side – is beyond me. » Posted By jan4insight On January 10, 2010 @ 7:35 pm HI, I’m just back on after a weekend mixed media art workshop, which is to say I’m still functioning in the inuitive/symbolic side of my brain (and I can’t even remember whether that’s right or left brain) so I won’t be commenting at length for just now. But I want to say the first thing that struck mw when I read Keven’s opening post, is that the lefties “trifecta” being repeated ad nauseum is very like the righties with their mantra of tax cuts, “small” government, and let’s go bomb somebody. All of which is more confirming evidence that extremes have more similarities than they’d care to admit! » Posted By jan4insight On January 10, 2010 @ 6:57 pm Vox Populi AfterChat – 1-08-10 Well, folks, it’s time for me turn in – I’m heading off to really fun art workshop in the morning (mixed media – we get to play with paint, paper, glue, glitter, markers & more 🙂 for the next 2 days) so I’d best get some shut-eye! Sleep tight, everyone. » Posted By jan4insight On January 8, 2010 @ 11:46 pmComments Posted By jan4insight
