Time Out for OT – Vol. 5

LOL!

And I’m just so burned out.

Our neighbor, and I think him and his wife are maybe the only Democrats in our area as they were Hillary voters.

Anyway, he’s out riding around on a tractor and doing something with the wash and his yard, and he’s drinking beer already. So, dog help us the next time we get a gully-washer.

My husband is outside shredding documents, because isn’t this a gorgeous day?

Anyway, the neighbor yelled over for us to walk across the street in an hour or so and drink beer with them and I think we might do that!

It’ll be an experience to actually party with ‘real-life’ people and they are AC/DC fans and bigger partiers than we are, but then again, they are somewhat younger.

Went to youtube and typed in ‘anti-corporation songs’ and one of them was this one –

I’ve just been able to log on again since this morning, and already am burned out and ready for FRIDAY youtubes!

😆

It’s all just too much at times, isn’t it?

My husband is currently reading a biography about Richard Nixon, and honest to goodness, what we are seeing today is nothing new, even when it comes to corporations buying politicians and dirty smear tactics from the right.

I truly believe that it has happened all along since the founding of our country.

Not all the founding fathers agreed on things and there were a few who believed the wealthy should rule.

My husband reads history more than I, but he always tells me the things he’s read and he has a better memory on recalling things from history.

This morning we talked about the reasons we’re so involved in politics now and paying attention, and we decided it wasn’t all because of the Vietnam War that we followed things back then, because even back then we were only focused on a few things and not the big picture.

The Internet helps us learn more but when it comes to younger people, they’re still not as connected as they should be, but that’s youth, I suppose and we’ve been there and done that, too.

Another proud moment for Arizona – sighs with disgust –

Until recently, downtown Prescott, AZ had two large banners encouraging people to participate in the 2010 Census

Could it be the reasons are that poorer people use crack?

Of course it is – two sets of rules for the haves and have-nots.

Yae! Our phones are fixed – knock on wood, crossing fingers, crossing toes and hoping it lasts!

Glenn Greenwald writes a provocative article about the Democrats and the Public Option, again, titled :

The Democrats’ scam becomes more apparent –

So now what is to be done? They only need 50 votes, so they can’t use the filibuster excuse. They don’t seem able to prevent a vote, as they tried to do, because Sanders will force one. And it seems there aren’t enough Senate Democrats willing to vote against the public option after publicly saying all year long they supported it, which means it might get 50 votes if a roll call vote is held. So what is the Senate Democratic leadership now doing? They’re whipping against the public option, which they pretended all year along to so vigorously support:

Senate Democratic leaders are concerned about the amount of mischief their own Members could create if or when a health care reconciliation bill comes up for debate. And sources said some supporters of creating a public insurance option are privately worried that they will be asked to vote against the idea during debate on the bill, which could occur before March 26.

Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) acknowledged Wednesday that liberals may be asked to oppose any amendment, including one creating a public option, to ensure a smooth ride for the bill. “We have to tell people, ‘You just have to swallow hard’ and say that putting an amendment on this is either going to stop it or slow it down, and we just can

Kalima?
It seems like a problem on the morning thread with posts going poof!

Not anyone’s fault!

Hope to see you later and will bid you good night and sweet dreams while I can.

Good morning, BDM!

It’s disconcerting that someone out there is targeting people here.
Then again, I suppose it’s a compliment that someone is so scared of PPOV.

Hope you and your husband are doing well.

Yes! Write an article explaining it since you have personal experience with it.
It would help clarify certain things.

(I don’t eat pork or shellfish either, except for thinly sliced ham, but it has nothing to do with religion!)

Actually the best answer would be – “Yes, dear, and how about I make you an icy cold vodka martini with 3 olives instead of two?”

Definitely they are part of that, and you bet Arizona will follow that legislation.

According to Sue’s article about these people, I think they want violence against gays because they are sinners or the devil or something.
They’re supposedly preparing the earth for the Rapture.

It’s very sad and frightening that so many people follow these wolves in sheep’s clothing.

The New Testament does warn about these dangerous men, and that could be one reason they ignore the New Testament and stick with twisted interpretations of the Old.

Oh!
I had to google that to figure out what Georgia O’Keefe had to do with our phone lines!

Then I saw who you meant – LOL

Since we have dial-up, if you don’t see me around for awhile, you know it’s because they are monitoring us!

I need more tin foil!!!

Enlightening article/interview from the hypocrite Rep. Carl Wimmer of Utah and his legislation about criminalizing miscarriages and his mission to overturn Roe v Wade –

Meet the Man Behind Utah’s New Law Criminalizing Miscarriages

We’re having problems with our phone lines – we keep losing the dial tone – which is not unusual for our area but it is frustrating.
The phone company is sending someone out tomorrow but this could take a few days to straighten out again.
Happens at least once a year and normally takes a few weeks of off and on service before they figure it out.

Has anyone else been noticing the criticism of the baby boomer generation lately?
Some are blaming all the problems of the country on the baby boomers and painting the generation as the worse generation that ever lived.
Do you think that’s true or a fair assessment of the boomers?

Boomers “Unrealized” … Is That All You Got, Brokaw?

Interesting and thanks for the link, nellie!

Maybe this is the article –

Our Dirty Little Secret: Who’s Really Poor in America?

I saw a similar article yesterday and can’t remember which site, but I’ve been starting to read and hear “the working hungry”.

Maybe it was on alternet – I’ll search for it.

OMG!

How does one get it out after use, though?
Oh gosh, it melts after use!

😳

And even funnier is this part –

Made in Japan.

Item will be shipped from China.

Why?

Well, there would be times it’d be worth the price!

And I think they make a washable/reusable one, but jeepers – don’t us women carry enough in our purses already?

ewwww.

Democrats hope to make the decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission part of their strategy to portray the conservative justices as more protective of corporate interests than of average Americans.

This is good news and it’ll be difficult for the GOP and the conservatives on the court to counter-attack when 80% of Americans – across party lines – are critical of the decision, too.

A bit of comedic relief for the women of PPOV –

I’ve never heard of nor imagined such a thing, but it’s worth a go!

I dreamt about George Clooney, seriously!
And funny thing was that I dumped him!
LMAO
I’ve been smiling since waking up from that dream!

And finally, the Republican argument is premised on the notion that the GOP scandals are a thing of the past, and now it

Morning, B’ito and Hey there, Tweety!

It’s that “liberal” media at work again, covering the Democrats and ignoring the Republicans when it comes to scandals.

» Posted By javaz On March 11, 2010 @ 10:14 am

Wow, I guess there’s one born every minute!

Good to see you, b’ito, and hope you rest well.

This is good news, especially this part –

Cash-strapped states would get $25 billion to help cover their portion of the Medicaid government-run healthcare program for the poor.

355,000 Arizonans are losing their Medicaid coverage, so hopefully this will help before the governor signs the bill.

Disney sells itself as family friendly and purports to care about children and provide them with quality entertainment, but yes, greed is the ultimate goal.

If it weren’t for Disney we wouldn’t have such good role models for children such as Miley Cyrus and Brittany Spears!

All is well, thanks, nellie!

» Posted By javaz On March 10, 2010 @ 1:18 pm

Looks as though Disney doesn’t like children very much after all.
