VOX POPULI that’s so funny, I just watched Network again this weekend – can’t get enough Paddy Cheyefsky – I had watched “The Hospital” for the 20th or so time, and was so jazzed continued on to Network. Both films were so prophetic, I mean look at the HP/AOL merger – it just goes on and on.

As for pix/video uploads – can’t wait.

good one, I saw Chernynkaya ‘vertical’ invite and came right over.
It’s so good not to lose touch with friends.

old compuserve user myself (this dates us you know) – and use AOL account for my iChat on my MACS.

I am hoping the merger will bring the implicit messages of HP to more users (i.e. sort of liberal/progressive) and if so, that’s a good thing. Many of us complain often about all the mainstream coverage the r/w enjoys, perhaps this will help those of us on the left spread the truth a little further.

But then I am an optimist, I still believe in Obama.

Hey, I am keeping my options open there as well. it was a great site, maybe they can keep it that way. In the meantime it is so refreshing to have posts put up immediately. good to see you.

I recognize the face!

right backatcha’ Chernynkaya!

that’s it exactly, trying to tidy things up for the big sale. Staging is what they call it, and it seemed to work.. Perhaps they will back off a bit on the moderation now, I hope so.

ah, that hit the spot, thank you!

lol, hi Mom, good to see you!

» Posted By zootliberal On February 7, 2011 @ 2:44 pm

yep, spot on, and fast!

Thanks, in fact I came here because of one of your posts (to pocketwatch I think). I thought “if it’s good enough for Chernynkaya, then it is for me too, by god.”

yes, there was a ship wreck over at HP, and some of us are arriving at your shores.

» Posted By zootliberal On February 7, 2011 @ 2:30 pm

thanks escribacat, I will give that a shot.

Just blew in from HP, haven’t even figured out how to add a user pic, but I happy to already see some familiar faces.

Homeless

VietVet67 – great to see you here buddy!

It is amazing, perhaps we danced near each other at the Fillmore! Or ate lunch across from each other at Art’s Deli.
Thank you for the link. I have seen the trailer for the documentary, but missed seeing it. I will check it out now at that NPR link. Look forward to more stories, please keep them coming.

This is truly a wonderful post, I feel now it is no coincidence that I saw your comment today on HP directing one of your friends to this site, as just your story made my coming here so worthwhile.
We have much in common, hippies, the city (though I spent that period of my life down around the Monterey Bay area plus hitch hiking across the states – not homeless, but self imposed rambling). I also know the areas in the valley of which you speak – my ex and I lived in agoura hills with our kids, but I worked all around the basin including studio city.
I treat the homeless pretty much as you described, learning somewhere way back then that it’s terrible karma to not give alms when asked, besides looking anyone in the eye is always good advice.
One funny story, in the summer between before the seventh grade, my family (5 kids) spent the entire three months camping at what was then known as “tin can” beach (an unincorporated area between huntington beach and seal beach) It wasn”t until I was an adult that I learned we were actually homeless for those few months – my dad still worked but they were having trouble making ends meet. What’s funny is it was the best summer ever for us kids!
Again, thanks for the post”

Mubarak: Half sunk, a shattered visage lies

Khirad, good night, and what a wonderful night for Egypt and for the world. I feel blessed that I arrived at The Planet in time to share this historical moment with you and the other good people here.
I just read “My First E-Mail from a Free Egypt” that you posted earlier in the day and have tears in my eyes yet. Ma’assalama. Peace indeed.

Khirad, was taking shower getting ready for work, and BAM history changes.
Thank you for your efforts here. I am so glad I came to The Planet in time to enjoy this moment with such friends.

Let freedom ring indeed! Praise be to God.

Having his speech at 10:30 pm Cairo time seems strange, was it in hopes the people would be too weary, after a long day of protesting, to marshall the energy to burn the presidential palace down?

jason sure does.

bzb, re; linkin’s bullshit, you’re right. and no mention whatsoever of the readers/commenters, who in my opinion made HP so successful. he also didn’t mention how moderation worked there, which is not surprising.

» Posted By zootliberal On February 10, 2011 @ 2:20 pm

i wondering if it was a last ditch effort, to see if he could pull it off one more time, but with a plan in place to flee if things turned south (as they will). Perhaps that was a tape delayed speech and he’s already out of the country.
