All You Need is Love Songs

Yep — I always post at least one by her on music night. 🙂

Best break up song:

My nearest and dearest love song. I don’t even think my closest friends know that. The things that get shared here ….

I love that graphic.

Health Bill Basics

As far as I’m concerned, the Tea Party is no better than the Klan. It’s the Klan dressed up as some patriotic marching band. They’re violent, aggressive, and dangerous. And they’re getting much too much support from the Republicans.

We’re lucky that the country has moved so far beyond this kind of thinking that the Tea Party is more of an oddity than a movement. But they’re dangerous. It only takes one nut to mess things up for everyone.

I think that’s an interesting idea. Congress is working on something like that right now.

I can think of some very effective ways to shun media folks. Stop buying from their sponsors, and let their sponsors know THEY are being shunned along with the foul mouthed people they advertise with.

And I agree with you that we spend WAY too much time arguing and repeating what these knuckleheads have to say. It only gives them more credibility — and air time. Why give up the precious little time we have to spread our message, playing and replaying sound bites from the right wing?

Wow — I love it. Let’s have more of that.

Looks like they’re having spelling problems again. What they mean is not take our country back. They mean take our country backWARD.

Thank you so much for the update, CL. What are we supposed to think when all the voice message boxes are full and no one is answering the phones?!?

Thanks, K.

Tomorrow is going to be exciting.

I think this is a very important lesson for all us. We are always, at every moment, on the brink of this kind of barbarism. These people are always with us — they will always be part of humanity. And it only takes validation from political leaders and media personalities for these folks to come crawling out of the woodwork with confidence.

We simply cannot tolerate people like Beck and Limbaugh in a civilized culture. Because this is what they bring to the surface.

I believe in the Amish tradition of shunning. And people like Beck and Limbaugh should be shunned. Instead, they are propped up by corporate America. Beck has lost over 100 advertisers, and still, his show is running on Fox, subsidized by the network because he is spreading the message that Ailes and Murdoch want to spread. Limbaugh makes $400 million on a contract, because he disrupts our culture.

We need to find a way to address this. Corporate America not only robs us of our votes, our legislature, and our judiciary, it tries to destroy our civility.

Thanks, Cher. Maybe if it’s on HP, it’s also on Youtube.

That was excellent, K. Where did you find it? I’m asking because I hope a lot of people will get the chance to see it. And I want to post it to facebook.

That guy needs a nice quiet room on a locked ward.

Happy Birthday, ChoiceLady. Your insider view is always so informative — I’m very flattered that you find my updates helpful.

Let’s hope by this time tomorrow, we’re counting up to 216.

Nancy Pelosi warned us that we would see some ugliness at the end. And she was right.

» Posted By nellie On March 20, 2010 @ 4:37 pm

None.

These people are so ignorant. We pass a bill that GRANTS rights to people, and from that they extrapolate the next logical progression is to start taking rights away from people.

Seriously, I have never heard so much garbage in our discourse before. This must be what people felt like in the McCarthy era.

» Posted By nellie On March 20, 2010 @ 4:33 pm

This sounds wrong to me. If Nancy doesn’t want to bring a bill to the floor, it doesn’t come up.

I’ve been thinking for a while that the GOP is probably paying people to post as angry progressives. I think there are legitimately some disaffected progressives on the site — a few we know and like — but some of the one-liner folks with the facile insults, you just have to suspect something isn’t right.

There ya go! 😀

Ain’t that the truth! 🙄

It really is. They are beyond shame. That’s what makes them scary.

The usual suspects — Steven King and Michele Bachmann.

I think a few of these people deserve to be pulled aside for a chat. I mean, if people can be arrested under Bush for wearing a pro-peace
t-shirt, I think this qualifies.

Brilliant, Cher. I’m going to post the link up in the article. This is just the kind of thing the media just won’t report.

Any sign of the public option? I haven’t looked yet.

So many things should have been challenged with this court. Neither Scalia nor Thomas should have been allowed to vote on Bush v Gore. BOTH should have recused. This is one of the most corrupt courts we’ve ever had.

And it has a major budgetary impact.

Wow. We’ve only been at this for 98 years. 🙄
