Displaying 0 To 0 Of 0 Comments Obama Won’t Sign On To Anti-Landmine Treaty Exactly Kalima, and well said. Instead of getting in there and working for what they want, deciding to throw their vote away. It’s petulance. As if the president is going to send an email to any particular voter promising to behave if they’ll vote for him. As if this president is supposed to be a voter’s personal lackey — that he’s not president of the entire country, that he’s not balancing a myriad of concerns and interests, that because they voted for him, whatever they want is supposed to come true. To hell with the other 300 million of us. As so many people have said before, at least we have someone in the White House who is trying to fix things instead of trying to destroy everything. Other people seem to have a very short memory. » Posted By nellie On November 28, 2009 @ 10:15 pm Well, its your choice whether or not to participate in our democracy. I was learning about the rationale behind the decision — which surprised me as well. Apparently, land mines are the only defense available in some areas, the only tools holding very tentative peacetime controls in place. We need to do better, that’s for sure. » Posted By nellie On November 28, 2009 @ 12:28 pm Hey there rabbiddog! I remember your posts from HP. Welcome to the Planet Mightywoof. As someone who loves dogs, I’m happy to see your moniker here! And look forward to reading your posts. » Posted By nellie On December 15, 2009 @ 10:09 am Nice to have you here! Hope we”ll see you often. » Posted By nellie On November 28, 2009 @ 9:10 am The Earworms Are Coming! (Friday music thread!) Which is why I asked whether he could get to the dashboard. » Posted By nellie On November 27, 2009 @ 4:14 pm Okay — I was assuming this had happened since you wrote your post. So I’d talk to AdLIb. » Posted By nellie On November 27, 2009 @ 2:46 pm Done — your editing rights you might have to take up w AdLib. Can you get to the dashboard? » Posted By nellie On November 27, 2009 @ 2:36 pm Hardly a genius, but competent enough to keep me from getting fired! 😉 » Posted By nellie On November 27, 2009 @ 2:28 pm Totally chill — I”m going to go ahead and embed it in your post. » Posted By nellie On November 27, 2009 @ 2:23 pm Is this it, Mo? (Hope so, cuz it’s cool)

» Posted By nellie On November 27, 2009 @ 12:33 pm For Black Friday, some un(der)reported news That’s such a good idea for a college class. I bet his students never forgot it. When Air America Radio first started, their entire focus was on unreported news and non-MSM stories. They were so informative. Rachel Maddow had a show in the morning with Lizz Winsted and Chuck D called Unfiltered, Al Franken used to dig up all the facts that Rush lied about, Randi did what she always does. There was even a show on the weekend called Unreported News. All of those non-MSM news were so interesting. And gave a totally different idea of what was going on. Now the network isn’t nearly as edgy. They just follow the MSM headlines. It’s really a shame. » Posted By nellie On November 27, 2009 @ 8:59 pm Thanks, KQuark. There’s a new group of these buried stories every week. It might be fun to post them on Fridays, » Posted By nellie On November 27, 2009 @ 5:25 pm This article ran in the Nation: The problem is definitely on the radar now. I wonder if anything will be done about it. » Posted By nellie On November 27, 2009 @ 3:40 pm This is such an important story, and I don’t see it anywhere except in the UK news. The whole world was sold a bill of goods, and too many people suffered for it. But then again, Sarah Palin is on her book tour, so let’s not fret over war, right? » Posted By nellie On November 27, 2009 @ 1:56 pm Cliff Notes! (thankyouthatwasdriivngmecrazy) That’s what the Dems should distribute to the GOP membership. » Posted By nellie On November 27, 2009 @ 1:42 pm I always wondered why people would expect a major piece of legislation like a health care bill, that included all kinds of provisions for training, community health centers, business regulations for insurance companies, and as you say, covers 1/6 of the economy — why would anyone expect that kind of legislation to fit in a pamphlet. What were those summaries students used to buy when they didn’t have time to read the whole book? » Posted By nellie On November 27, 2009 @ 12:07 pm Okay, that is brilliant. AND hilarious! Thanks for the uplift! Will DEFINITELY pass that one along! P.S. Katt is so wrong and so funny (as usual) » Posted By nellie On November 26, 2009 @ 3:04 pm Happy Holiday Season to my PPOV family! I am very grateful for this vibrant corner of the internet. Today I am particularly grateful to be alive in this beautiful city where the sky is the color of a blue balloon. Hope everyone is having a great day with family and friends. » Posted By nellie On November 26, 2009 @ 2:12 pm Wow — I am thankful for this link to your site. I’m going to pass it on. I think you may have something with your resentment theory. Maybe that explains a lot. Maybe there’s a lot of unrequited longing going on from the AH camp! I’m w you on the T-Day parades, too. » Posted By nellie On November 26, 2009 @ 2:07 pm I have no desire to argue with anyone about science — whether they threaten to despise me or not. » Posted By nellie On November 28, 2009 @ 2:28 pm Hey, I hope you’re right. I don’t think you are. At any rate, there’s nothing wrong with pursuing clean, renewable energy. It’s healthier and smarter. And it keeps us independent. » Posted By nellie On November 28, 2009 @ 2:11 pm There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don’t know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don’t know we don’t know. And when it comes to Sarah Palin, there are unkonwn knowns — things that we know, but we don’t have the vaguest idea why we know them. » Posted By nellie On November 28, 2009 @ 2:07 pm Yep, that’s it exactly. » Posted By nellie On November 28, 2009 @ 1:46 pm I remember that, AdLib. O’Reilly was whining about some comment about him on HP — if you go to his site and read the comments, wear protective gear so as not to get spewed — and immediately, posts that mentioned his name started to get scrubbed. That was very strange. And it has gotten progressively worse. You can’t even type the words Rush Limbaugh. Why would HP want to protect that hatemonger? There’s a bigger issue here than HP — corporate control of our information. » Posted By nellie On November 28, 2009 @ 12:36 pm I always say, If you want a job done right, do it yourself. » Posted By nellie On November 28, 2009 @ 11:54 am Okay, first of all, what money? 😉 Second, I would love to draft Cheney — into the Army. For a tour in one of his wars. Then he coud see firsthand all the benefit he has brought to the world that he brags about so often. » Posted By nellie On November 28, 2009 @ 11:47 am Wow, what a great quote. And what a spot on description of the Huffington Post. It’s such a shame. That business had such potential. And now, it’s a laughing stock. It’s really too bad. I think we can thank Reagan for Sarah Palin. The GOP did such a good job of convincing its base that government is a joke, that it’s useless — they think a joke of a useless person is qualified to be president. The GOP base is going to kill the Republican Party. » Posted By nellie On November 28, 2009 @ 11:14 am Never! It’s like the fresh air. » Posted By nellie On November 27, 2009 @ 10:39 pm Kalima, I always admire your straight talk. » Posted By nellie On November 27, 2009 @ 10:05 pmComments Posted By nellie
