I think it was the section relating to student loans. » Posted By nellie On March 25, 2010 @ 11:21 am Excellent. » Posted By nellie On March 25, 2010 @ 11:16 am You can always bring up the fact that, at his age, Dingell has been living off government health care for decades. If it’s good enough for him, why isn’t it good enough for the rest of us? Or maybe I should say — If HE’S good enough to get that kind of care, why aren’t the REST OF US good enough? Dingell seems to be implying that he’s better — and deserves more — than the people he represents. » Posted By nellie On March 25, 2010 @ 10:44 am I do NOT watch Glenn Beck for a reason. Why must I be subjected to his crazy talk on every progressive news program I tune into? Maybe this belongs in Speaker’s Corner… but I didn’t want to say much about it. » Posted By nellie On March 25, 2010 @ 10:41 am Ah, that explains it. I know they run those room makeover shows, but I thought they did educational-type shows like The Discovery Channel. » Posted By nellie On March 25, 2010 @ 10:40 am Irony of ironies, a Sarah Palin reality show — “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” — is coming to The LEARNING Channel, courtesy of Discovery Networks. Will TV viewers get to see Sarah Palin’s Alaska? You betcha! Ex-GOP VP candidate inks reality deal “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” will be produced by Mark Burnett, the force behind “Survivor” and “Celebrity Apprentice,” and is being described as being about Palin and her home state. » Posted By nellie On March 25, 2010 @ 8:00 am This was scarily like the real thing. Stewart did an awesome job. » Posted By nellie On March 25, 2010 @ 6:35 am I’m posting the message below on every single HP article that relates to congress and on every news site I normally read: Write your GOP Senator and tell him to GET BACK TO WORK. Stop shutting down senate business at 2 PM EST, after only TWO HOURS OF WORK. Yesterday, every committee was interrupted because of GOP petulance and revenge for the success of the Health Care Bill. Tell them to GET BACK TO WORK And in November, VOTE OUT THE GOP. » Posted By nellie On March 25, 2010 @ 6:16 am Nite, bito. Get a good rest. » Posted By nellie On March 24, 2010 @ 9:35 pm Beautiful » Posted By nellie On March 24, 2010 @ 9:12 pm That makes sense. We were all hanging back to see if they could pull it off. They did! Time for a reward… Good Blue Dog! » Posted By nellie On March 24, 2010 @ 4:43 pm World’s largest particle collider may unlock secrets of universe The LHC will recreate conditions that existed less than one-billionth of a second after the Big Bang, and will do so repeatedly in a controlled way. Collisions of protons at energies as high as existed just after the Big Bang will be recorded by giant digital cameras. Eventually, there will be nearly 1 billion collisions per second. » Posted By nellie On March 24, 2010 @ 4:19 pm Sad news: Robert Culp died. He had a fall outside his home. He was 79. » Posted By nellie On March 24, 2010 @ 3:03 pm There’s something wrong with that man. 😆 » Posted By nellie On March 24, 2010 @ 2:37 pm Very astute, Cher. Being wrong about it is just as bitter as losing on the vote. » Posted By nellie On March 24, 2010 @ 12:24 pm That’s great — the references in that one letter cover just about every trolly post a person might run into. » Posted By nellie On March 24, 2010 @ 12:23 pm I also have few illusions about the complex and compromised bill that President Obama is about to sign, but I do know this is about more than health care. Apart from the election day of 2008, no other day in recent history has made me feel as hopeful about the US’s ability to reform despite its toxic politics and archaic systems of governance. If a reform of this magnitude can survive all the fear-mongering and confusion and somehow get to the president’s desk, reforming transportation policy may not be such a crazy dream. When I’m feeling really dreamy, I can almost imagine a world where California could put together a constitutional convention to fix its dysfunctional budget system, so that it wouldn’t have to continue wrecking its great universities, or its magnificent and diverse experiments in urbanism. I hope, wherever you live and whatever your views on the issue, that you too feel a sense of a release and opportunity, in the fact that reform on this scale can still get done. » Posted By nellie On March 24, 2010 @ 12:03 pm Wow. Nah, global warming is just some money-grubbing hoax that Gore dreamed up because he wanted to get back in the spotlight … » Posted By nellie On March 24, 2010 @ 11:40 am EXCELLENT. Thank you, Sue. I would have missed that — I guess that’s what makes TO/OT such a great place to hang out. I’d like to see this letter sent — actually physically sent, maybe faxed — to every GOP member of Congress. » Posted By nellie On March 24, 2010 @ 11:38 am If this fix is not in the reconciliation package, I bet we see it sooner than 2014. The dems are just beginning to see the health issue as a winner for the party — I think they’re going to build on what they’ve done for political as well as social reasons. » Posted By nellie On March 24, 2010 @ 9:29 am But I don’t care about him. 🙂 I do care about what’s in the Times. » Posted By nellie On March 24, 2010 @ 7:54 am I think it’s fair to refer to it as a bill right now, so soon after passage. I don’t think the Times is trying to stir the pot. Addressing wealth inequality is a really important aspect of the president’s agenda that has been flying under the radar. But it’s central to his philosophy and goals. » Posted By nellie On March 24, 2010 @ 6:29 am There’s a really important article in the Times this morning (which HP for some reason has slapped with the glib title “We’ve moved on.”) It’s well worth a read: In Health Care Bill, Obama Attacks Wealth Inequality » Posted By nellie On March 24, 2010 @ 5:54 am My stomach hurts from laughing. What is this? » Posted By nellie On March 23, 2010 @ 9:55 pm Will be thinking of you, B. » Posted By nellie On March 23, 2010 @ 9:43 pm Cher, I see a page of media links: https://planetpov.com/category/take-action/polls-data-and-research/ But I’m guessing that’s not the post you mean. Let me do a search to see if I can find it. » Posted By nellie On March 23, 2010 @ 9:42 pm The cuticles are absolutely perfect! This is great, Cher. Is that Al Franken narrating? » Posted By nellie On March 23, 2010 @ 8:29 pm The GOP has become a cult. And as cult’s go, it’s a big one. I’m not sure what can be done about it other than reasonable Republicans coming to their senses and working up enough personal courage to turn their backs on the likes of Limbaugh, Beck, and Hannity. » Posted By nellie On March 23, 2010 @ 8:26 pm According to those people, we’re always in the end times. I sense a profound fear of death among those folks. » Posted By nellie On March 23, 2010 @ 8:10 pm You know what’s also scary — that 24% of Republicans believe there is such a thing as the antichrist. » Posted By nellie On March 23, 2010 @ 8:02 pmComments Posted By nellie
