Who has the better bouffant?

Posted by: Helen Philpot | August 31, 2011

Who has the better bouffant?

Margaret, what kind of moron thinks that God destroys entire towns and kills people with a hurricane because politicians in Washington are being disagreeable? What kind of moron? The kind with the bouffant hairdo and a Minnesota accent. Honestly, if God worked that way, Irene would have headed inland towards Minnesota’s 6th Congressional District.

And speaking of bouffants, did anyone catch Rick Perry discussing abstinence? Evidently it works for him personally. I bet Anita is relieved. But I call bullshit. You don’t go to Texas A&M and make mediocre grades unless you’re spending too much time in the girl’s dormitory… or in Perry’s case the large animal vet school. I bet the cows have an opinion about Perry’s abstinence. And considering how easily he switched from Democrat to Republican, somebody might want to speak to a few of the bulls too.

I just don’t understand how so many stupid things can come out of their mouths considering how often they claim to be speaking for the Lord. Maybe each one needs to see a doctor about the voices in their head. I mean honestly, Margaret, these two manage to speak out of their mouths – both sides – and their ass without taking a breath… or a shit. Now see if you can follow the bouncing jackass:

Rick Perry wants Texas to secede because Washington has gotten too big.
Rick Perry takes $17 Billion in federal stimulus dollars.
Rick Perry uses those dollars to generate a whole bunch of new government jobs in Texas.
Rick Perry celebrates the state’s job growth in hopes that we’ll send him to Washington.

If he makes it to the White House, I’ll be the first to pick up where he left off in the Texas secession campaign.

And then there’s Michele, who doesn’t have the common sense God gave a goose. A couple of year’s ago, she decided that God’s green earth doesn’t need to stay green when she told folks, “Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn’t even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas.” Maybe she inhaled a little too much of that hairspray that keeps her hair so high.

Good Lord. This is the best the Republican Party has to offer? I think Texas has had it’s fair share of Presidents and Minnesota needs to just be satisfied with its largest ball of twine. I mean it. Really.

re: M&H. Last post by blog owners 31 August.

It’s dead. Just bury it.

This blog was once a lot of fun, but nearly all the interesting participants have gone and I can’t deal with the chronic link posters. Posting links out of context is like throwing trash out the window as you drive by; no purpose except pollution; nobody picks it up and looks at it.

I have moderated several very controversial blogs; unless you have an effective moderation policy, trolls like Ko-Tex Piss Ant (alias Tex, Wayne Perram, Anonymous, et al) will destroy any blog eventually. (When I say “troll” I know exactly what that term means and do not use it lightly. You know he doesn’t work and sits around the house all day with nothing to do except bully others, right?) Folks will say you shouldn’t block free speech, but this is not a pubic forum; it is a private blog and it is dead, dead, dead.

Unless they get an effective moderation policy, M&H is gone and that’s too bad; even the people I disagree with deserve to be able to post without attack. I have other fish to fry; I’m afraid so do they. Too bad; it was a fun place to come.

I’d certainly second that about Orly Taitz. Why on earth would Justices like Scalia and Thomas–much less the others on the Supreme Court–repeatedly reject her efforts? Why would a Bush-appointee sanction her for frivolous claims? I have no idea whether she’s a charlatan or just very deluded, but her arguments have been very much debunked and in a non-partisan fashion.

And this blog has become the Juneau Joe/Noah show because….? Neither of you will persuade the other or, I believe, anyone else. Joe’s excessive exclamation points are no more persuasive than Noah’s insulting generalizations. It’s unfortunate that the hosts permit it.

Perhaps it would be constructive to do a little fact checking on Orly Taitz before promoting her arguments as “evidence,” much less “compelling.” After all, her claims have been rejected by the most conservative Supreme Court justices and by conservative Court of Appeals and District Court judges.

I did dome follow up reading on the video showing students being pepper sprayed. The police had told these people they needed to dispurse. So they were already guilty of participating in an unlawful gathering. One female student was resisting arrest. The police wanted a no hands dispursal of the unlawful gathering so they used a diluted pepper spray to try and get the students to leave peacefully. While there havebeen a lot of videos of late of police acting in an improper manor, in this particular case they went way out of their way to be accomidating.

I support the ruling, but I don’t support pushing little old ladies down stairs or demonstrations causing people to be laid off.

The pepper spraying incident looked pretty bad. The video showed one officer’s trying to pull a student from the sidewalk and then stopping. Our son, who lives in California, said it might have been because some protesters bodily moved from one place to another have sued for hard to prove back and other injuries.

GOP VOTERS HOLD “EXTREME” VIEW OF CUTS – EXTREMELY “LIBERAL,” THAT IS
“Left” Anti-Supercommittee Views Supported by Almost 3 Out of 4 Republicans

We’re already hearing that the unwillingness of some Democrats to sign on to cuts in Social Security and Medicare – the few, the proud, the real Dems – is a sign of “ideological rigidity on the extreme left.” Pundits are referring Senators like Bernie Sanders and Representatives like the members of the House Progressive and African-American Caucuses.

Extreme left? Their position is supported by three out of four voters – Republican voters, that is. A new poll confirms what previous polls have shown: Once voters have these proposed deals explained to them, they hate them.

Nearly three out of four voters are against changing Social Security’s cost of living adjustment (COLA), as the White House and some Democratic supercommittee members were prepared to do. That includes 70 percent of Republicans and 78 percent percent of seniors, who turn out to vote in larger numbers than other age groups.

And Krugman may have the best line e.v.e.r. about Newt by saying, “he’s a stupid man’s idea of what a smart man sounds like.”

Burning the Flag: I remember the burning the flag incidents during and after VietNam. It was generally a veteran from the war who was denied or having trouble getting health care benefits he needed. Some of them were military vets who were homeless and frustrated by not getting any help with housing.

A new Record in Green House Gas levels for 2010.. When should we worry? I think now myself.

Concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere rose to yet another high in 2010, according to the UN’s weather agency.

Levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) – the major contributor to climate change – rose by 2.3 parts per million between 2009 and 2010.

That exceeds the average for the past decade of 2.0 parts per million, the World Meteorological Organization says.

The latest round of UN climate talks begin in South Africa in two weeks.

“The atmospheric burden of greenhouse gases due to human activities has yet again reached record levels since pre-industrial time,” said WMO Secretary-General Michel Jarraud.

THE GROVER NORQUIST PLEDGE KILLED THE SUPER COMMITTEE!

Treasury estimates the costs of making the tax cuts permanent for everyone is $3.7 trillion over 10 years.

Of that, $3 trillion accounts for the cost of extending them for the vast majority of Americans, as the president has proposed. The remaining $700 billion is the cost of extending them permanently for the high-income earners.

The cost would obviously be less if the cuts were extended for only one or two years. There are no formal estimates for a short-term extension, but based on Treasury Department estimates, the cost is likely to range anywhere from $200 billion to $500 billion, depending on whose cuts are extended and for how long.

Those who support extending the tax cuts note that if the cuts expire and the economy suffers as a result, the deficit will get worse because the government will have to borrow more.

I can only chuckle as I Repost and his kind look at the Bush tax cuts as taking away THEIR money. It is if they have suspended reality and forgotten that the money belonged to someone else in the first place.

Then their is the notion that Tax increases are “Saving Money” The government is an entity that does not generate money. It takes money and spends money. For there to be a “savings”, the government would have to spend less, not take more.

I Repost, how do you suppose the government is able to pay its bills? A tax on the revenue generated by the country as a whole, yes? So it stands to reason, that the more money the country makes, the more that the government received in taxes. Here is where the rubber meets the road.

For ending the Bush tax cuts to be of benefit it must not harm business. So to meet this criteria, you need to show me how business will not be harmed in anyway. Because if business is harmed, and business generates less revenue, then there is less for the government to tax, thus loosing the benefit of the increased taxes.

Now considering when the tax cuts were implemented, I would like you to show me a direct causal relation to the tax cuts and jobs being lost and being the primary reason why we are at 9% unemployment. Just so you are aware I have some strong video evidence that the Democrats and their failed policies on home and toxic loans had more to do with it than the Bush tax cuts, but I look forward to reviewing your concrete evidence backing your claims. You do have evidence, don’t you?

The Bush tax credits did help create jobs, and brought more money into the government. The unemployment rate during Bush’s second term before the crash was about 4^%. The New York Times also mentioned the “surprise windfall.”

The crash took our jobs. Had the Bush tax cuts not been in effect, we might have lost more jobs than we did.

I agree with some of your comments about tax reform for businesses and investors. However, a straight tax increase on people who earn $200,000 or more will not increase revenues much as Democrats predict because the extra drain on the economy will raise less tax revenue.That will happen because the economy will remain stagnant.

We could cut spending by defundng parts of Obamacare. The money has not yet been spent, so there would be no additional pain to the economy.

Democrats don’t want an agreement because failure will given them a political talking point.Some think our military should be gutted, but they will be able to cry crocadile tears about how Republicans are leaving our nation defenseless. This also puts Republicans in a tricky position.

Republicans are not afraid of Grover. They are afraid of the Tea Party. Some think they can get a better deal if they wait for Democrats to lose the next election.

There’s one thing standing between us and avoiding a sequester and doing $1.2 trillion, and that one thing is the Republican unwillingness to not push for the Bush tax cuts to be extended now. We’ve even talked to them about guaranteeing them a fast track for tax reform. We’ll do tax reform before next December. We’ll do tax reform for business. We could lower the corporate tax rate. We could wind up with a major initiative that will create jobs and do our country well, avoid the sequester, show that America works…

Let me try to put this in a way even someone like you can understand I Repost.

We are in the middle of the ocean in the great ship Titanic. We have just struck an Ice Burg. You get up off your knees from servicing the captain to see a sign on the Ice Burg labeled, National Debt. You see that at this present time the Gash in the side of the ship is about $15 trillion wide. You then estimate that about $100,000 every 5 seconds on Liquid Interest is poring into your ship through this enormous Gash. What do you do?

Well, your first plan is to go down there with a bucket. So you grab the nearest bucket, and you notice a sign on the bucket that says New Taxes. So with your New Taxes in hand you run below and start to bail. You work and you work but you know almost instantly that you cannot bring enough New Buckets to take on the Liquid Interest that is poring in. Now what do you do?

Hopefully at some point it would occur to you that we need to reduce the size of the Gash. If we could only shrink the Gash, reduce it some how, then less Liquid Interest would poor into our ship and prevent us from sinking. So you start to reduce the size of the Gash. You shrink it down, and you start to notice that less and less Liquid Interest is coming in. Eventually, you notice that without bringing in any New Buckets, the Liquid Interest is going out faster than it is coming in, and you have saved the day.

EPIC FAIL! Super Committee fails!!! Why?? GROVER NORQUIST AND HIS NO TAX PLEDGE set up the failure which will impact our economy negatively.

A member of the group called PATRIOTIC MILLIONAIRES talked to Grover Norquist recently and from the discussion, feel Grover needs to live in Somalia.

“[Norquist] raised an issue we get all the time which is, ‘Well there’s nothing stopping you guys from paying higher taxes, just send a check to the government!’ And this to me is frankly an absurd position; I don’t consider it to be a very serious argument. Government is not a charity and we can’t rely on voluntary contributions from people to support the things that government does. And I also said to him, ‘Look would you be willing to sign a pledge where you’re willing to forgo all the benefits that government provides? Are you willing to sign a pledge that says you don’t want the U.S. military to protect you? That you will refuse to contact the police if somebody steals from you? That you will refuse to contact the fire department if your house is on fire? Because that’s the equivalent! Why should you get a free ride? Why should you benefit from my willingness to support the government? Let’s do it together.’ And he said, ‘If I don’t have to pay any taxes for it, I would forgo all those things!’ To which my response was, ‘Well there’s an easy way to do that, move to Somalia!’ And his argument was, ‘Somalia doesn’t suffer from too little government, it suffers from too much government.’ I don’t even begin to understand what that means, but again there’s only so much you can go into in these conversations.”, said Eric Schoenberg, member of Patriotic Millionaires.

I understand about what we call “rent a cop”s here. One of my wife’s former students was a police officer. We were at their house when he got a call from a client, and he was gone for the evening.

What I don’t grasp is Wall Streets’ paying for the police to up date their equipment and then expecting special service. How did they pay the million dollars? Did they bypass the city and give it directly to the police department, or was it a tax payment to the government?

I can understand the city’s trying to stop a Wall Street shut down with or without Wall Street money. Many of we normal people work there or have schools and businesses in the neighborhood.

I’ll admit when a man knocked over a barracade section and the police chased and arrested him. I felt like yelling “storm them!! There are more of you than of them!” The barracade was only about three feet high. I didn’t understand why more didn’t just step over it.

My reaction was as inappropriate as when I rooted for Thelma and Louise.

We made a promise to the people who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. My niece, her husband, and others we know fought there. Breaking our promise to them is like the man who said during the Reagan years, “lets re draft the Vietnam era veterans.It would cost less to retrain them.”

Wall Street paid a million dollars to the NYPD so they could update their equipment. So, when they get a crowd, they get first priority on service. The businesses and city determine how much of the overtime is to be paid by each entity.

Colbert figured it out: MAKE THE 1% PAY. That is, the 1% who fought in Iraq or Afghanistan for our country! Lower their benefits and health care costs. Of course, Colbert would not ask the wealthiest among us to pay more in taxes.

Someone really needs to teach I Repost basic economics. When the interest on the debt you owe grows exponentially because of Obama $1 trillion+ a year spending spree, that takes away money that should be going towards the programs he covets. When you bury your head in the sand and pretend the debt doesn’t exist, it grows, as does our interest payment. Meaning that each and every quarter we have to pay more and more towards our debt, meaning less and less for those in need. Republicans are the true compassionate party. They realize we have to get our economy up and running, pay off our debt, so we have the money to fund these social programs.

Yes, I know Finland is classed as a welfare nation. So are the other Scanidavian countries. I’m glad you recognize that Finland does have a fine educational system.

The government pays students to attend school. Advanced degrees are considered a right. A country with over five million people has fifteen or twenty universities. Unfortunately, it creates an educational imbalance. Too many people are earning PHD’s in under water basket weaving and too few are becoming plumbers or electricians.

Still we could learn a lot from them. The Finish system gives teachers much more freedom than ours does, and society holds teachers in high repute. “Free” or not the system and the culture hold many features we ought to borrow. Finland spends less per student than the US, I think.

Increased spending is creating deficits as it is in other countries. Taxes are high, and many officials are corrupt. The government has been reducing spending on welfare programs to control the deficit.

Its a stretch to call them conservative or akin to the Tea Party, but a protest movement, the True Finns, is gaining political power. They consider the poor EU nations to be deadbeats, and they want to abolish Swedish as an official language.

A meteorologist in charge of we Omaha area volunteer observers visited last week. His family, like my wife’s grandmother is from Sweden. They also spent a few days in Finland.

The Finns they talked to are unhappy with high taxes and their stagnant incomes. They also don’t like the Swedes.

The Fins and Scandinavians are so advanced because of who they are, not a welfare system. They have been able to manage with and in spite of welfare better than we because their populations are homogeneous and fairly low. Their system has served them well, but they need to adjust it now. The Sami and Fins are indigineous Europeans as our Indians are. They are survivors of the ice age. Socialism or capitalism won’t stop them.

You will not do it, but if you google Sami singer Sofia Jannok “Liekkas” and especially Marie Boine– ” I Come from the Other Side” you will know what joiking is. It is at the end of the songs. Sweden outlawed joiking for years.

Swedish folk singer Sofia Karlsson: Jeg Vanter is good. Its your loss if you don’t hear her sing.

On the other hand, they`re busting unions, making it hard for us to put food on our family`s table, denying us health care, what is it, 40,000 people in America die every single year because of lack of health care, preventable diseases.

Finland is a small underpopulated country, but it has managed to affect our lives.

H. R. Tolkien based his famous story “Lord of the Rings” on a Finnish legend. Middle Earth was borrowed from “Kalevala” the Finnish national epic.

The Nordic Mobile Telephone system in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden began in 1981. It was the first mobile phone network to feature international roaming. An electrical engineer working for the company is considered by some to be the father of the cell phone.

In 1991, the first GSM network of cell phones began in Finland. This second generation combined with more transmitting stations and new technology to allow for smaller cell phones.

Another new feature was text messaging. It soon spread to other cell phone networks.

In 1998, the first downloadable content sold to mobile phones was the ring tone, launched by Finland’s Radiolinga company. Advertising on cell pones first appeared in Finland when free daily SMA news headline service began in 2000 sponsored by advertising.

Nokia, a Finish company is the world’s biggest cell phone manufacturer.

Finland has also produced a number of formula one sports car drivers.

Finland’s insistance that Greece offer collateral or it would refuse to offer more loans created fear that Greece might default. World stock markets fell.

According to “Sami Culture”, the Soviet Union invaded Finland in 1939 because it refused to permit military bases in their country. Finns retaliated in what was described as “one of the world’s greatest examples of the triumph of local knowledge and sheer tenacity over brute force.” The Soviets lost 27.000 men, and the Sami 2,700.

The Finnish Miracle site wrote if you are a teacher, the word “Finland” fills you wit awe. Because everyone in the schooling industry knows that Finland is the international all-star of education.” Someday, the United States may adopt Finish methods.

He who laughs last… Don’t forget to thank a Finn the next time you use a cell phone.

Anonymous, a Newsweek ranking of the world’s best countries based on education, government, economic opportunity and living standards, ranks Finland at number one. The United States is eleventh on their list. Finland’s economy is comparable to Britain’s, Germany’s, and France’s. They rank as the twenty- third richest country in the world after France.

Finland’s educational system is one of the world’s best, and their literacy rate is about 100%. They belong to NATO. Finland was also one of the richer EU nations campaigning to expel Greece if they submitted EU terms to a reforendum.

According to one source Finland has the largest per capita number of blonds and members of Mensa in the world.

It doesn’t matter whether or not you are blond, and you obviously don’t belong to Mensa, so I will spell it out so that you can understand.

Issues like global warming, Newt, and OWS remain unsettled. You, I report the other anon, uaw tradesman, and I are privy to the same information, but we interpret it differently. Anon asked a rhetorical question about why I report sees the world so apart from his. I offered my opinion with an example.

I illustrated my point by showing how politicians, scientists, and national leaders twist the same information to fit their agendas and convince people to believe them. Unlike here with our current debate, the Finish status argument has lasted more than two hundred years with time to change collective conclusions from one extreme to the other

It is as if President Obama’ tells us tomorrow that the OWS protest movement is bad for the country and that we need to embrace the methods and values of the Tea Party movement. Then, Sarah Palin endorses Obama.

All of this happens with no new information and it is done in such a way that you become critical of OWS and conservatives vote for Obama. Manipulation of information is used to change public conceptions and political views here as it is in Scandinavia. The liberal press, for example, tries to portray OWS and the Tea Party as what they are not. Thanks to the internet, the truth comes out.

More importantly, my shameless use of Finland educated you though you didn’t care. Next, I will try to include Wales, Denmark, Germany, and Sweden, just for you.

Saying Freddie Mac needed a bail out after Newt’s advice is a stretch. We don’t know what he told them or if they followed his advice. I doubt they got into trouble on the advice of one man.

Anon, I don’t know if I report knows why he supports OWS more then we understand why we interpret the facts differently. Why do some people support Newt and others not based on the same information?

I did some research on my Finnish cousins and learned more than teachers told me in school. The fact is maybe a quarter to a third of Finnish and Sami people have varying degrees of noticable Asiatic features, even if they are blond. Others, such as Ukrainians, Russians, and Irish do too on rarer occasions.

Recent genetic tests show Finns and especially Sami are European but they are genetically and linguistically different from other Europeans.

When Sweden ruled Finland, they twisted scientific information to argue that Finns were not European. As transplanted Asians, they were inferior. Later, the Soviet Union influenced the region, and Finns found it to be in their interest to emphasize their eastern roots.

In the United States, Finns were clannish, hard workers and socialist. Employers began to prefer them to other nationalities. When they helped organize labor strikes which turned violent, a group tried to get them deported under the Asian Exclusion Act.

The Soviets are gone, and Finland has joined the EU. Now, Finland is European and researchers who say differently are guilty of “voodoo science.” Basically, the same information was twisted to fit the political agenda which was in vogue at the time.

People believe what they want to believe.

I watched some of the live links as OWS milled about the edge of Wall Street, Zuccotti Park and back. The commentator, who is sympathetic to the movement, asked for estimates of the crowd size at that time. Some gave numbers as high as 3,000. He repeated it, but said asking the protesters was biased because they might inflate the numbers. Others gave lower estimates, and he settled for a compromise of several hundred.

The protesters were split into two groups and tried to out flank the police officers.The second group also probably numbered several hundred. Several times, the police herded them onto sidewalks or locked them in the park. Other times, when they were outnumbered, they let the protesters march.

It was rather intense several times, and I can understand why the police would feel threatened. However, it was pretty mild compared to what I saw during the anti-Vietnam war protests-very little shed blood from either side.

Some of them apparently occupied an empty building and threw pamphlets from the windows. Based on the number of papers tossed from the same windows, maybe ten or twelve were in the building.

Based on what I saw, I think the 30,000 figure was inflated. Several thousand sounds more accurate. Their numbers did go up toward evening when labor unions arrived.

I have no more sympathy for Dorli Rainey who, I think is 84 than for anyone else who was there. She shouldn’t have been checking the protest out. She is old enough to know better. I believe, somewhere, a pregnant woman was pepper sprayed too. If they were pepper sprayed, others were also. What makes her more special than the others? Someone is trying to use sweet little old lady, Dorli as a martyr for emotional effect.

I Repost. I wonder could you explain why you support OWS? Seriously. They have all the makings of a terrorist organization. From yelling over and over for hundreds of more 9/11 attacks on the U.S., to raping and murdering innocents, to desecrating the 9/11 memorial, to child and drug abuse. Also, in what ways do you find this terrorist organization superior to the Tea Party?

Are you a cheer leader that just swallows for the Liberal party on command, or are you capable of answering the harder questions? Having seen what you have been able to post at this point I expect you to either totally ignore this or toss a meaningless one liner laced with insults. If you are a true supporter then step up to the plate and do them a large one, and defend them. Or be a coward…your choice.

OWS – It is important for people to pay attention. Corporate Run USA is the problem. Until the political class starts to listen – OWS will continue to GROW AND GROW!!! (I will mention that there is no yelling of FOX for people to attend these rallies as was done with the TeaParty.) OWS is truly an organic uprising of people tired of being trickled on.

There is much more to the job of President then protecting our shores, and fixing the economy. There is also standing before the people of the world as the living embodiment of America. And this President does an outstanding job at that.

NEWT – Abramoff says what he did was inappropriate. Newt got an insider deal. Freddie – let me think, the Republicans were making noise about their bad loans. Looks as if Newt was making big money being their advisor. OH BOY – Sounds Presidential to me??? Cough, cough, sneeze.

GREGORY: Transparency of government is still an issue. It’s an issue on the campaign trail and Newt Gingrich, a former Speaker is now caught up in this with Freddie Mac, a large housing giant controlled by the government. He claimed he got $300,000 to be a consultant to them. Bloomberg’s reporting was well over a million dollars, providing strategic counseling. What do you make of all that?

ABRAMOFF: Well, this is exactly what I’m talking about. People who come to Washington who have public service and they cash in on it. And they use their public service and their access to make money, and unfortunately Newt Gingrich is one of them who’s done it. But far too many of them do it and one of the reforms I propose in my book is to close permanently the door, the revolving door, between public service and cashing in as a lobbyist.

You’re a 19 year old kid. You’re critically wounded and dying in The jungle somewhere in the Central Highlands of Viet Nam . It’s November 11, 1967.. LZ (landing zone) X-ray. Your unit is outnumbered 8-1 and the enemy fire is so intense from 100 yards away, that your CO (commanding officer) has ordered the MedEvac helicopters to stop coming in. You’re lying there, listening to the enemy machine guns and you know you’re not getting out. Your family is half way around the world, 12,000 miles away, and you’ll never see them again. As the world starts to fade in and out, you know this is the day. Then – over the machine gun noise – you faintly hear that sound of a helicopter. You look up to see a Huey coming in. But.. It doesn’t seem real because no MedEvac markings are on it. Captain Ed Freeman is coming in for you. He’s not MedEvac so it’s not his job, but he heard the radio call and decided he’s flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire anyway. Even after the MedEvacs were ordered not to come. He’s coming anyway. And he drops it in and sits there in the machine gun fire, as they load 3 of you at a time on board. Then he flies you up and out through the gunfire to the doctors and nurses and safety. And, he kept coming back!! 13 more times!! Until all the wounded were out. No one knew until the mission was over that the Captain had been hit 4 times in the legs and left arm. He took 29 of you and your buddies out that day. Some would not have made it without the Captain and his Huey. Medal of Honor Recipient, Captain Ed Freeman, United States Air Force, died last Wednesday at the age of 70, in Boise , Idaho May God Bless and Rest His Soul. I bet you didn’t hear about this hero’s passing, but we’ve sure seen a whole bunch about Lindsay Lohan, Charlie Sheen and the bickering of Congress over Health Reform.

I DO NOT!. Pay attention.

As I wrote before, I oppose increasing taxes on people earning $200,000 or more because many of those people are small business owners.

About half of people earning a million dollars or more already pay at rates of 30% or more. Many of those people are also small business owners.

People like Warren Buffet would remain relatively unscathed because most of their income comes from capital gains. Even a 5.6% surcharge would only raise his rate to about 24%, still lower than some who now pay over 30%.

We need to increase taxes on capital gains and return to the 1986 tax reform law with lower maximum rates and no loopholes sheltering capital gains and dividends. We could make it harder for companies to shelter incomes in other countries.

Increasing taxes on people who actually earn money by producing a product or hold jobs during a recession is foolish. Taxing the rich at even a 100% rate would not solve anything because our deficit it too large.

but what really pisses me off is……

President John F. Kennedy’s nephew, Robert Kennedy, Jr., netted a $1.4 billion bailout for his company, BrightSource, through a loan guarantee issued by a former employee-turned Department of Energy official…….Ironically, in 2008, Kennedy wrote a CNN article praising Obama as reminiscent of his famous father and uncle. The article, titled “Obama’s Energy Plan Would Create a Green Gold Rush,” proved prophetic. However, the “green gold rush” came in the form of $1.4 billion of taxpayers’ money flowing into the pet projects of rich venture capital investors like Kennedy, not average citizens.

The Daily Newt
November 16, 2011

Now he can’t count.

Do we file this one under Hypocrisy, Too Stoopid to Breathe, or Lying Sack o’ Crap?

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich acknowledged an extended consulting relationship with mortgage giant Freddie Mac, though he said he couldn’t verify just how much he or his firm received in fees.

Gingrich denied having lobbied on behalf of the mortgage giant, but said his staff was looking into a Bloomberg News report that said Gingrich “made between $1.6 and $1.8 million in consulting fees” in his work for Freddie Mac between 1999 and 2008.

So, Freddie Mac paid Gingrich a cool mil and half for his “advice as a historian?” For Pete’s sake, I know some history majors who will give you their advice for free at the drive-through window.

Well, this pretty much explains the Freddie Mac bust.

It depends on which OWS you visit, BFD. The small Omaha group seems to be as you described. Several were arrested when the police and later snow evicted them from a park. They were all civil to each other.

A third of OWS people surveyed said they would resort to violence. I think only two Tea Partiers were arrested and the total is at least 3,000 for the OWS protesters.

The rapes, murders and other attacks are real. I have seen videos and pictures. Its true as noted here a majority of protesters is non -violent, but the rest are guilty of ruining the reputations of all. OWS owns the bad apples. They have had two months to get rid of them. Its their fault if they suffer for it now. The sixties anti war movement had the same problem. They lost public support and their riots helped elect Nixon.

Barack Obama asked supporters to condemn financial institutions which took TARP bailout money and later gave top executives large bonuses. Our taxes also bailed out Fannie and Freddie, and both organizations need still more of our money. Now, their executives have received large bonuses.

Several more green companies are in trouble after the Obama administration gave them billions of dollars in loan guarantees. E mails show that the administration asked Solyndra to delay publicizing their financial problems until after the election.

The companies, including Fannie and Freddie contributed a lot of money to Obama and other Democrats.

The CBO admitted that the stimulus program while giving the economy a short term boost would shrink the economy in the long run.

Obama delayed a decision on the Canada oil pipe line until after the election because labor unions support it and environmentalists oppose it. Forbes claims that decision is helping bring up the price of oil.

Republicans are no angels, but the OWS protesters ought to include Obama and his allies. They are also part of the 1%.

Went down to the local OWS encampment yesterday, admittedly with some trepidation. After all, the lamestream press and rightwing blogs have made a potent effort to keep people away by emphasizing the rapes, murders, and personal attacks that have taken place there. But I was reassured by the complete absence of such incidents locally knowing that these incidents in other places are more likely to have been perpetrated by opportunists who want to discredit the movement. In fact, some of the incidents I’ve read about have happened in the proximity of the OWS encampments but there is little or no evidence that they are a consequence of their existence..

So I was somewhat surprised to find an island of calm in the middle of the city, mostly populated by college age students and a good number of under-thirty unemployed people willing to discuss their situations. Even though I’m supposed to be from the generation they hate, they welcomed me and even after direct questioning, none of them argued for of redistribution of money from the employed to the unemployed. What they were seeking was an opportunity for a decent job that will enable them to pay their debts.

But they seemed to be in complete agreement that the cards are stacked against them by a thoroughly crooked congress made up of politicians who have become multimillionaires by capitalizing on inside information from pending legislation which has been bought and paid for by the same wall streeters and robber barons who make billions on that same insider information. This monied circle jerk excluding 99% of the public is the cause of their concern.

What I found troubling was that the American dream of upward mobility has turned into a nightmare. It has been trashed by the outsourcing of American jobs and technology to such a degree that many of the best educated among the protesters have given thought to emigrating to countries where their education and talents are seen as a plus. Our loss will be Asia’s gain.

I report, the first stimulus law was intended to create “shovel ready jobs” and to rebuild our infrastructure. Teachers, police officers, etc. while necessary, do not create as much wealth as private sector jobs. They live on taxes. Once the government money dries up after the appropriations end, the jobs end too. That’s what happened last time. As you wrote, we need more private sector jobs to produce the taxes to fund teachers’ etc salaries and to rebuild our highways etc.

Before we spend so much money again we ought to learn why the first stimulus law failed.

There you go again with the oversimplification and half truths about the Bush administration. Obama is in bed with the out of control bankers and businesses like GE.

I agree that austerity can contract the economy and lower standards of living. Good choices are few. We must reduce spending or Europe will be our future. No matter what we do will be painful.

Hi Helen,
Guess like me, you are on a political hiatus. The Republicans are doing a fine job on their own of stepping in it and in many cases sliding and falling head first. Even here the great climatologist and economist James, Noah, etc show utter disregard for the obvious.
I am looking forward to your Thanksgiving letter. If there isn’t one this year, I’ll know it no longer worth my while to check each day for a new Blog from you and I will no longer stop by.

The best way to bring down a deficit is to get people to work. Austerity has failed where ever it has been used. It shrinks the working class and slows down the economy further.

Hiring for infrastructure repair, or teachers or firefighters and police will help make a dent into needs of the nation for the future as well as a stimulus for private businesses to sell goods and services.

The last years of the GW Bush administration brought a collapse of the economy which could only be compared to the Great Depression. The last years and the first year job losses, which were significant, were directly attributable to Bush/Cheney, de-regulation, two unfunded wars, unfunded drug program and just plain stupidity. President Obama was and is still trying to get an economy run into the ground by bankers gone wild which was allowed by Bush/Cheney.

I report, governments create few private sector jobs. Their only influence is creating policies which encourage or discourage job creation. Even then, business cycles and other events may countermand government policy.

The unemployment rate was as low as 4.6% during the second Bush administration. I’m not sure they all were as good as the lost jobs, but they were jobs. The globalization which Clinton started and Bush perpetuated helped enlarge emerging nations’ middle classes.. Its flaw was that jobs sought the lowest wages overseas. Now, some companies are beginning to consider reshoring –to bring some jobs back to the US because economics support them here.

The liberal news media has twisted the news with selective reporting. It is no wonder some polls might show people blaming Republicans for our problems. Other polls show their disatisfaction with Obama’s management of the economy. Both opinions are a trifle unfair to the politicians.

A new national survey of Republicans indicates that it’s basically all tied up between Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich in the race for the GOP presidential nomination, with Gingrich on the rise and businessman Herman Cain falling due to the sexual harassment allegations he’s been facing the past two weeks.

With Rick you get the dumb. With Cain you get the sexual escapades. With Newt you get the trifecta: ethics, hypocrisy and enough hoochy-koochy to make Amsterdam shut down their red light district because of a non-compete contract.

Alaskapi, I thought you needed a smile. The Sami and to a lessor degree, the Finns who probably sprang from them are some of Europe’s last indigenous people. Glaciers may have separated the Sami from the rest of Europe for maybe 10,000 years. Twice during that time, something nearly wiped them out. A few progenitors perhaps from Siberia gave them a few Asian genes and rebuilt the population. No one knows for certain.

Finns are some of the blondest people in Europe and yet, around 1908, a group tried to get them deported from the US under the Asian Exclusion Act. My aunt had subtle Asian charactoristics, but she was blond and her eyes were as blue as mine.

If you Google EF Flashmob Helsinki, you will see a young blond woman who resembles my cousin.

I don’t think the OWS movement is fragile. I think it is dangerous.I believe their public relations attempt to create another Tea Party is at risk, because the movement got away from them.

Van Jones, one of the planners told Time the occupy tents were a surprise. Any group with little discipline and with members prone to violence is dangerous. Groups are supporting the movement with a lot of money, so the movement in one form or another will survive as long as its supporters want it to.

The danger is when they become increasingly alienated from the general population, and they will be if they don’t stop the violence, a small group will follow the Weatherman trail. Some of their supporters want to crash the system, and many protesters don’t know that. Organized violence is the next logical step.

I was in it once. The actors change, but the script remains the same.

Nothing has repealed the laws of gravity or economics. During the nineties, we thought the good times would last forever. Now, we think our world has ended. It will get better in spite of our government. It always does thanks to the business cycle.

James-
Mari Boine reminds me of work done by Pamyua 🙂
Thank you. Songs and stories of the north and it’s peoples make me smile.

Not so sure OWS is as fragile as you think but am concernedand think the groups need to own violence on it’s/their patch.
It is all well and good to point to jerkfaces attaching themselves to the activities or provocateurs but wherever gratuitous violence and incendiary rhetoric comes from , within or without, it needs to be shut down unequivocally by the larger group.
A number of years ago I was visiting the small town I lived in during college years and attended a rally on the heels of the Headwaters Forest deal. ( Anyone interested in the timber wars on the far north coast of CA can google Pacific Lumber Company, MAXAAM Corp, Charles Hurwitz, Judi Bari, and Tim McKay amongst others )
I was there to hear Tim McKay whom I liked and admired until his all too early passing a few years ago.
The bulk of the speakers were associated with Earth First! as was most of the crowd.
Under Judi Bari’s watch that group of Earth First!ers had come down strongly against tree spiking and other forms of monkey wrenching which could hurt loggers but I can’t say I had much sympathy for the tree sits and all they employed.
It is/was a consensus decision based group- a form of organization which OWS is using
and which has some resonance for me as it more closely resembles the process my Alaska Native forbears used for a bazillion years to conduct public business as opposed to the hierarchial and often top-down way our larger society is structured.
Some guy started hollering ” Kill Hurwitz! Kill the SOB!” a couple yards from me. While the crowd started edging away from him, 6 women in yellow armbands moved in and surrounded him. As close as I was I couldn’t hear what they were saying to him but he quieted and they edged him through the crowd towards local police on the periphery, where he stayed calmly.
I asked folks around me what the yellow armband dealie was and the 2 who spoke up said they were “peacekeepers” trained to keep group gatherings from becoming moblike by defusing or removing folks who were getting out of control.
As goofy as I thought/still think some of the antics and ideas that group had/has the “peacekeeping” thing has stuck with me. They OWNED behavior on their watch.

I’ve spent a lot of time lately reading about neoliberal economic policies we accepted without much question a number of years ago and the so-called centrist or Third Way approach Dems in this country have attempted to reconcile social concerns in relation to neoliberal economics . As best as I can see it has resulted in arguing over a very small patch of ground and effectively turned into the rut we find ourselves in.
I’m not sure about OWS itself but I do think we are at a crossroads in general.
Human institutions need constant attention to keep some semblance of serving the people who design/accept them as a framework to conduct public business.

I like the part where I make fewer of the same mistakes over and over, though I realize I make a whole lot of new ones still 🙂
One of the most interesting things , watching this argument about TP and OWS unfold, is realizing whatever side of the fence folks are on the general consenus is that what we’ve been doing is not working out very well. It’s easy to dismiss one POV or the other on various grounds but it isn’t easy to dismiss the general understanding that things have gone kadiddlywop in this country.
I would submit that part of the problem is that the Rs and Ds have been dueling over a very small patch of turf for quite awhile now .
“The Third Way refers to various political positions which try to reconcile right-wing and left-wing politics by advocating a varying synthesis of right-wing economic and left-wing social policies.[1]”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Way_%28centrism%29
I don’t think it has worked out very well for much of anyone. Anyone meaning real everyday people. It’s called Centrism and many assume it’s the position of moderates on each side. I’m not sure of that anymore.
This is the POV which saw us repeal the Glass Stegall Act – something which is likely to have had a real hand in the out of control behavior in financial circles which got us in the big mess we are facing.
We will always have the tension between social responsibilty v personal responsibility, within ourselves and within our country. It’s part of the human condition and nothing new.
We’re calling our children useless and spoiled because they are speaking out about mountains of debt attached to the college-education dream which no longer really leads to a decent job. We’re calling our elders useless and lazy because they didn’t end up with retirement plans and enough money for secondary insurance though they worked all their lives.
We’re making fun of folks who are scared and upset about the shifts in values in this country which have left them pawns in a duel over capitalism run amok .
We are eating our own instead of looking at the structure of what we have built and planning a remodel which works better for more of us.

Michael Gerson of the Washington Post wrote “The emergence of Occupy Wall Street raised Democratic hopes for the emergence of a leftist equivalent to the tea party movement. The comparison is laughable.

“Defenders of OWS dismiss this as the work of a few bad apples. But the transgressions would call themselves the vanguard. and they express, not betray a significant ideological strain within the movement.

Since the 1960’s some on the political left have sought liberal reform through the democratic process and nonviolent protest. Others have south to hasten the crisis and collapse of fundamentally illegitimate social and economic systems. Both groups can be found within OWS but the later is ascendant.

Read the latest edition of Time Magazine, Anon 5:54 AM. Their largely sympathetic article about the movement and Van Jones failed to mention even one act of violence. The liberal press is trying to cover up and rationalize the communist and anarchicial wings of OWS. Glenn Beck’s rants have been more informative.

Its true that a few plants tried to make the Tea Parties look bad, but there aren’t enough Tea Partiers left to commit the mayham these folks are inflictining on the occupied neighborhoods. Besides, the Tea Party is non -violent.

I predicted this, not because I am so smart, but because I personally knew organizers of the US and European anti-war movements of the late sixties and early seventies. I have also read the history of other revolutions. A dedicated core of true believers attracts well-meaning people and others who just want to find dates. They use them as weapons, and they will sacrifice their ground troops to win.

They will cause some whether or not they realize it to become martyrs for the cause. Once the hangers on are no longer useful, they will be destroyed. They are as Lenin observed “useful idiots.” Many people posting here and in the country reached the same conclusions I did at the beginning. Anyone not blinded by ideology could see this coming.

As for guns and suicide. First off you are being dishonest. Lets call a spade a spade here. I never commented on that topic, not once. So to tell me I am for something I never commented on just shows what kind of person you are. My opinion is, the gun, or the question itself, is irrelevant. It is naive to think that a person bent on killing themselves will not do so if you take their gun. The Vet could just as easily drive his car into a tree on the way home to fetch said gun. It is the behavior that needs to be of focus. A person who wants to die will find a way.

I Repost has all the defining qualities of what is wrong with the Liberal party and the OWS movement. They claim to care. They claim to want to help. They claim to have the moral high ground. The problem with all these claims is, only when it suits their needs to do so.

For weeks I Repost has spouted how great this OWS movement is, and how superior it is compared to the Tea Party movement. Telling us how it is going to reshape America and is the greatest movement of our generation, something to be proud of. He has time and again taken these unfounded, undocumented truths to back other arguments, because it suited his needs at the time, and he benefited by it.

Now, as with all things Liberal, once you look past the surface, we find it is not at all what they purported it to be. It is a gang of thugs doing unspeakable deeds, exploiting men, women, children and themselves for their own selfish ends. Now that the real movement as been exposed, I Repost has nothing to say on the subject. You would think by his reaction that the OWS movement never existed, and you would be right. Because in his mind now that it has outlived its usefulness, it is no longer relevant and not worthy of his time or attention.

So be wary when you support these Liberals. They are here to save the day, not because they are noble in their cause, but because you are a resource to be exploited. When your usefulness has run its course, you can count on them not to remember or care who you are.

To you I Repost, I have but one quote to leave you with.

also in your Crooks and Liars post….
“The NRA was outraged, apparently, that a Kansas army base wanted soldiers to register privately owned weapons.”

The NRA is against all gun registration…..what does that have to do with a counselor asking if they own a gun…….sounds like a HIPPA thing to me…..there are already laws(and the NRA backs) that prohibits people with mental illness from owning guns…..

“The NRA pushed for the law after receiving complaints from soldiers at bases across the country, says spokesman Andrew Arulanandam. In Fort Riley, Kan., commanders “imposed a preposterous regulation,” according to the NRA website, that required soldiers to register firearms that they were keeping off base and authorized commanders “to set arbitrary limits on the caliber of firearms and ammunition their troops may privately own.”

The NRA defended the measure. “The thing that doesn’t make sense to us is that when anyone exhibits high-risk tendencies, the logical response would be to provide counseling, to address matters at hand that are triggering these high-risk tendencies,” Mr. Arulanandam says. “That would be common sense, rather than to talk to them about gun locks.””

so what really spooked the veterans…..how about the veteran’s disarmament act….

The House bill, HR 2640, is being sponsored by one of the most flaming anti-Second Amendment Representatives in Congress: Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY). Another liberal anti-gunner, Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT), is sponsoring the bill in the Senate.

Happy Veterans Day to you and everyone else I report. Our daughter and son-in law will spend their noon hours at a Sizzler restaurant in Omaha with us. They give veterans free meals today.

Instead of responding to your clap trap, I will bore you with a story. When I returned to the US and civilian life, I had not slept for over 24 hours, and I was loopy. A flight attendant and I started visiting, and we were so interested in each others’ stories, she moved me to first class so we could talk during her breaks.

I told about some of my Air Force adventures, and my voice was louder than I thought. After the plane landed, she gave me a Disneyland balloon, and someone behind me began to clap. Then, all of the passengers gave me a standing ovation. I didn’t know how to react.

Times were hard for awhile, but I never forgot the kindness of that flight attendant. I tried to find her and finally did in 2004. She was a determined, bubbly young woman whom everyone liked in high school. Her ambition was to see the world, and she did before she died of cancer in 1977.

Most Vietnam Era veterans received a poor welcome home, but that flight attendant gave me the biggest parade imaginable. I wish I had found her sooner to thank her again.

Here are some random comments from students who attended the GOP debate last night. I found them interesting.

“I thought Perry was a big flop. I believe he lost the election in that cycle of questions,” said one student. “Rick Perry? I think he’s Texas toast,” said another.

But apart from picking a winner, these serious students are all a-buzz, chattering about the issues important to them: student loans and the jobs needed to repay them.

“The biggest thing that’s important to me is how student loans are funded. I do feel that the onus is too heavily on us students to pay that back. Seventy percent of jobs these days require a four year degree. After tonight, I’m voting for Obama in 2012,” says an OU sophomore student.

Outstanding student loan debt is now set to top $1 trillion for the first time this year — which means Americans now owe more on student loans than on credit cards.

The Ohio Republicans were out spent and out campaigned in Ohio. The governor should have exempted the police and fire fighters as the Wisconsin governor did–again, from memory, so I could be wrong about that.

The news was not all bad for the Republicans, even in Ohio. Voters rejected the Obamacare insurance payment mandate.

Republicans need to focus on what most people care about–the economy. Polluting the campaign with social issues and failing to explain what our debt will do to us wins votes for the Democrats.

Democrats are trying to portray Republicans as obstructionists the way Harry Truman did. Republicans made a major concession in the super committee. As Senator Durban noted, it was a major breakthrough. They proposed $300 billion in new taxes. Democrats walked away. No agreement and potential draconian cuts if the super committee fails will become the Republicans’ fault. Democrats will harness the anger generated to win an election for Obama and maybe for other legislators.

Cain and Perry are finished. Republican choices range from Mitt to Newt. This could also work in Obama’s favor. Obama should be cautiously optimistic.

This is from memory, not a link. Yes, the CRA loans were innocuous at first, but there is more to the story.. They became toxic after the savings and loan scandal put some banks and savings and loans out of business and survivors merged. ACORN and other groups sued and protested to intimidate banks to loan more money to poor people.

The Clinton administration further pressured banks to make more risky loans. Then, realtors, financial institutions and world stock traders found ways to make money from the housing bubble before it burst. As in 1973 before the farm crash, too many borrowers and lenders believed the laws of economics had been canceled.

The commercial property bubble inflated on the strength of an active housing market and unrealistic expectations of the economy.

This is another example of “the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.” Greed and political calculation over rode the good intentions.

Again, in the spirit of your hyperbole, Obama wanted our troops to die in Iraq because he supported the strategy Murtha called the “slow bleed.” Murtha explained that by opposing the surge, and continuing to fund the war in Iraq Democrats could maintain the status quo which would let the war continue as an important issue in the next election.

The status quo was continuing stalemate and more deaths.

Obama lied about Libya. He said our troops would only be there a few days.

More on Cost of our Military…

43% of all military spending in the world is spent by the USA.

http://jobsanger.blogspot.com/2011/11/cuts-to-military-are-needed-to-control.html

Several members of Congress, especially Republicans on the House and Senate Armed Services Committees, are readying legislation that would undo the automatic across-the-board cuts totaling nearly $500 billion for military programs, or exchange them for cuts in other areas of the federal budget.

These same politicians want Americans to believe that the spending on social programs that help poor people, unemployed people, children, and others is out of control and must be cut. And yet, all of these programs put together do not equal the money our government spends on the military. Spending for social programs is not out of control at all — in fact more is needed to help Americans survive this recession (especially since Congress refuses to invest in job creation).

But there is a part of the government budget where spending is definitely out of control — and that is the area of military spending. I know there are many who believe that the current level of military spending is necessary for the defense of this country. I find that argument to be ludicrous.

For months he has regurgitated talking points of others while offering little in the way of his own thinking or views on how to fix things. After months of reading what this guy puts out I have no idea what his political views. I know he is a raging Liberal, but beyond that I have no clue what he truly believes.

Poolman, I am judging OWS by the same standards the press and Democrats judged the Tea Parties. They did not face the same infiltrators as the current protest movement does, though the press and Democrats tried to invent some. Police in North Carolina , I think let people attend a rally while some carried concealed weapons because the protests till then had been peaceful. That one was too.

I understand what is happening. I watched it during the anti- war protests. A majority was peaceful, but the hard core members wanted violence and eventually a group with people like the Ayres splintered into terrorism. An ACORN official, who’s group is helping organize and pay for the protests advocated future violence to bring down the capitalist system. They want a martyr as at Kent State during the sixties.

The Black Block will eat the movement just as the Bolshevics ate the Menshivics.

The BBC interviewed protest leaders before the Chicago riots. They said they planed to incite police violence for maximum effect. Its too bad the majority of peaceful demonstrators, like the peaceful majority now didn’t know they were being used.

Cain’s problems should have been publicized. I don’t think the Democrats leaked the information either. My problem is how the press has covered the story compared to Clinton’s bimbo eruptions, Obamas’ church, Kerry’s running mate, who’s name I have forgotten, and other stories were down played until the press had little choice.

Here is a gift for you. I did some research to learn the latest thinking on why my Finnish cousins, though blond have some Asian features. While looking, I explored you tube flash mobs.

James, it seems obvious you are getting a MSM version of events regarding the OWS movement. There have been some incidents of violence. But much of the vandalism has been done by the Black Bloc, which are infiltrators paid to create it. There are live streams and thousands of videos coming out that show the street perspective, and the Occupy crowd opposing the Black Bloc.

AFA the Cain smears, those have been traced back to the Perry camp. Democrats have no reason at this time to discredit Cain. It is the GOP candidates vying for top position. I do expect the GOP nominee to be slandered by the democrats, once one is named. Politics is all about that anymore. After all, it’s our favorite puppet show. 😐

NewsBusters quoted John Nolte who compiled a list of OWS violence. The incident count was 151 with more to be counted. These include an arson arrest in Fort Collins, Colorado, a 78 year old woman’s being pushed down a flight of stars, A women only tent to prevent rapes at Zuccotti Park in New York City. A poll showed 31% of protesters supporting violence.

The liberal media and people on this forum were notorious at amplifying a single incident to smear the entire movement. Some, including people here called them by a gay sexual practice. A few called me names because I defended the Tea Party. Our hosts with several comments, also did what they could to destroy what they rightly regarded as a political enemy.

Now, the press reports the OWS in a scatter gun fashion to avoid being charged with favoritism. “By choosing not to bring the pieces together the MSM ensures the least amount of public relations damage to the Occupiers.”

Mayor Bloomberg is not evicting the OWS squatters because his domestic partner
is on the board of directors of the company which owns the park. About 95% of the protesters arrested in New York City during the first month live in homes worth $500,000 or more.

Allahpundit wrote “…the coverage of OWS protests compared to the coverage of tea-party protests is the worst media double standard in recent history. Nothing compares, because nothing else involves this much distortion on both ends of the coverage.”

Another issue illustrating the double standard is the Cain alligations. Kathleen Willy, one of the women who accused Clinton of sexual assault noted the difference in press coverage. She said she plans to vote for Cain.

Jsri, Judge, or Thom ought to attempt to prove me wrong about the human garbage floating around, but they can’t.

An Omaha computer company said we face a hard drive shortage because of the floods in Thailand and it is not part of OWS conspiratorial paranoia.

I report, President Obama said God wants the jobs bill passed. Wasn’t he using God’s name to benefit himself?

Don’t worry too much about what you can’t change. Greenhouse emissions may be up, but the earth’s temperature has stabilized. Therefore, other factors also influence our climate. If green house gasses were directly at fault, our temperature would also have risen at a comparable rate. I agree they are a potential serious problem.Co2 also contributes to acidification of the ocean.

Emissions are increasing because the world is getting richer. China and India, for example have a growing upper and middle class with the same wants and desires as we. Co2 is a problem, but so far the only solutions would consign billions of people to potential starvation and extreme poverty.

All nations should create a fund to encourage inventors and entrepeneurs to develop new methods of extracting and using energy. The process is already happening, with more efficient batteries and better auto gas mileage. However, we need more than top down plans which do little more than sap economies and redistribute incomes. A world fund would be the equivalent of the space program or the Manhatten Project.

As Earth’s temperature is not directly related to green house gases, neither is the employment directly related to government activity. The unemployment rate fell by .1% without the jobs bill.

We already established that Obama’s jobs bill is a temporary fix to improve his re election chances. Most of the jobs would last until the government money ran out. More debt and taxes would make it even harder for private enterprise to create enough wealth for more sustainable employment. This is warmed over stimulus. Republicans have passed job legislation which is being blocked in the Senate.

Our legislators were elected according to general principals their constituents believed were important. Their job is to follow the guidelines without slavishly locking themselves into ideology. Republicans and some Democrats know our economy is in peril, and they face a choice. Is it better to follow political expediency and vote for a disaster, though it might win re election, or should they vote for what they believe is the responsible choice even if they might be sent home?

Barry Goldwater has some words to the political wise!
On religious issues there can be little or no compromise. There is no position on which people are so immovable as their religious beliefs. There is no more powerful ally one can claim in a debate than Jesus Christ, or God, or Allah, or whatever one calls this supreme being. But like any powerful weapon, the use of God’s name on one’s behalf should be used sparingly. The religious factions that are growing throughout our land are not using their religious clout with wisdom. They are trying to force government leaders into following their position 100 percent. If you disagree with these religious groups on a particular moral issue, they complain, they threaten you with a loss of money or votes or both. I’m frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in “A,” “B,” “C” and “D.” Just who do they think they are? And from where do they presume to claim the right to dictate their moral beliefs to me?

Obama with his pre political law suit, the Democrats and their forcing banks to make risky loans started our downward slide, and the financial institutions profited from it until the ponzi scheme failed.

Teachers’ fire fighters’ and police pensions and health benefits are helping sink the economy now.

The banks who held the loans converted them to derivitifes and other items to unload them on others who did the same. They were playing a financial version of hot potato.

You are right about the banks’ influence over the government and Obama, but my point is the process began with our govrenment and not with the banks. I don’t know if the banks wanted it to happen or not, but the government, not the banks officially instigated the process.

Climate Change: Too Late?

http://www.newshoggers.com/blog/2011/10/some-things-just-get-worse.html

The bad news just got worse: A new study finds that reining in greenhouse gas emissions in time to avert serious changes to Earth’s climate will be at best extremely difficult. Current goals for reducing emissions fall far short of what would be needed to keep warming below dangerous levels, the study suggests. To succeed, we would most likely have to reverse the rise in emissions immediately and follow through with steep reductions through the century. Starting later would be far more expensive and require unproven technology.

“The alarming thing is very few scenarios give the kind of future we want,” says climate scientist Neil Edwards of The Open University in Milton Keynes, U.K. Both he and Rogelj emphasize the uncertainties inherent in the modeling, especially on the social and technological side, but the message seems clear to Edwards: “What we need is at the cutting edge. We need to be as innovative as we can be in every way.” And even then, success is far from guaranteed.

It is only fair that I get to check out your writings – just being fair to me. After I read your stuff, then I can start making my case against you or a rebuttal to your charges or both. I am kind of looking forward to it actually.

Just read this and found it interesting.
The former CEO of Lehman Brothers, Dick Fuld was paid ONE HALF BILLION dollars for taking risks with other people’s money. He had no stake in the game. What Fuld did is something like if you were entrusted with a lot of other people’s savings and spent a couple of years betting it at the casino – and taking a share out of any winnings. When the bets go sour, you walk away with what you took out. This is a radically new phenomenon – a paid professional manager, a bureaucrat adept at playing office politics, who rises to the top of a huge bureaucracy and then scoops up an enormous fortune with not only no stake in the business, but no liability for reckless or negligent work. An entrepreneur risks her time, her labor, her own money. A plumber who does a bad job can be sued for damages. But Fuld had no stakes in the game and the laws imposed no penalty. When the GOP candidates say they want to reduce regulation on Wall Street, what they mean is that they want to get rid of the new Dodd-Frank bill and its clawback provisions. The law says that if you run a financial company into the ground so badly that the government has to step in, the government can force you to return what you paid yourself. Many “liberals” attack Dodd-Frank as toothless – but there are reasons that GOP crony-capitalists hate it. And one of those is that it restores some of the risk to the risk/reward tradeoff for Wall Street OPM wizards.

http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/david/roger-simon-being-little-bit-racist-helps-go

Politico’s Roger Simon says that Republican presidential Rick Perry’s recent embrace of birtherism amounts to a racist “dog whistle.”

“It’s not a ‘fun’ issue to poke somebody on,” Simon told CNN’s Howard Kurtz Sunday. “It is more than a little bit racist. Not everyone who believes it is a racist. It grew out of the belief that a black man could not be legitimately elected to the president of the United States.”

He continued: “Now, why would Perry use that in the primaries instead of saving it for the general when he’s running against President Obama? Well, it’s because being extreme, perhaps, and a little bit racist, perhaps, gives you good bona fides in a Republican primary. It shows them that you are on the same side as they are.”

“So, it’s a bit of a dog whistle?” Kurtz asked.

“Absolutely,” Simon replied.

LEST WE FORGET: GW BUSH CRASHED THE ECONOMY!!!

The Abacus case, in which Goldman helped a hedge fund guy named John Paulson beat a pair of European banks for a billion dollars, tells you everything you need to know about the difference between our two criminal justice systems. The settlement was $550 million — just over half of the damage.

Can anyone imagine a common thief being caught by police and sentenced to pay back half of what he took? Just one low-ranking individual in that case was charged (case pending), and no individual had to reach into his pocket to help cover the fine. The settlement Goldman paid to to the government was about 1/24th of what Goldman received from the government just in the AIG bailout. And that was the toughest “punishment” the government dished out to a bank in the wake of 2008.

The point being: we have a massive police force in America that outside of lower Manhattan prosecutes crime and imprisons citizens with record-setting, factory-level efficiency, eclipsing the incarceration rates of most of history’s more notorious police states and communist countries.

But the bankers on Wall Street don’t live in that heavily-policed country. There are maybe 1000 SEC agents policing that sector of the economy, plus a handful of FBI agents. There are nearly that many police officers stationed around the polite crowd at Zucotti park.

These inequities are what drive the OWS protests. People don’t want handouts. It’s not a class uprising and they don’t want civil war — they want just the opposite. They want everyone to live in the same country, and live by the same rules. It’s amazing that some people think that that’s asking a lot.

Rick Perry is for State’s Rights until the discussion turns to women controlling their bodies, planned parenthood or Gay Rights. STATE RIGHTS FOR STATES except for:

Psssssstttt, Heads Up, It’s Just Talk
October 30, 2011

You know how Rick Perry believes in state’s rights and how each state should be allowed to make their own rules?

Well, that’s true until it’s rules that Perry doesn’t like. He was in New Hampshire this week spouting off about his two favorite subjects – gay marriage and abortion. Now, it seems to me that the more gay marriages you allow, the fewer abortions you get, so Perry ought to love that New Hampshire legalized gay marriage in 2009. But, noooo …..

And it also seems to me that Planned Parenthood, where they distribute birth control, also would be high on Perry’s list. But, noooo …..

“Unfortunately this current administration has since provided one million dollars in federal grant money to Planned Parenthood in direct conflict with this state’s policies. And the bottom-line is this: If you want to stop Washington’s many violations of the 10th Amendment … then we must make President Obama a one-term president,” Perry said.

So, Perry will not rest until New Hampshire becomes just like Texas.

NOTE TO NEW HAMPSHIRE: Dumb down your schools, increase your teen pregnancy rate, make sure half your population has no health insurance, and have the second highest high school drop out rate in the nation. Rick Perry is coming and I know you want to make him feel at home!

Thanks to Sharon for the heads-up.

I report, you cited a source which claimed a global warming skeptic had attempted to prove the global warmists were wrong, but his research changed his mind. Warmists crowed that at last the science was settled.

A Charleston Daily Mail blogger, Don Surber did a little google search and discovered that Berkley Professor Robert Muller was lying when he claimed to be a skeptic. He has believed in human-caused global warming since the early 1980’s.

Now, the UK Daily Mail contends that the results obtained by the prof’s Best (Berkeley Earth Surface Temperatures) project team showed that global warming “has stopped.”

Prof Judith Curry is the second named co-author of the BEST Project’s four research papers. She said the research data show that there has been no increase in world temperature since the end of the nineties. A new analysis the Mail obtained confirmed the conclusion.

Muller said his group only studied land temperatures and that the ocean reacts more slowly to change. The new study obtained by the Daily Mail (HadCrut3data) measured both land and sea temperatures.

So to the leftists who cheered that the global warming debate was settled, i TOLD YOU SO!! The question is still not settled.

One thing you are overlooking in the income disparity issue is as I mentioned before–the inability of our under educated workers to compete with better educated and under paid foreign workers. Hosts of a financial show on KFAB, Omaha and panelists of the McLaughin Group mentioned the same thing.

The radio hosts said a host of regulations and taxes led companies who were able to send their jobs overseas. Now that foreign workers’ wages are approaching domestic levels, a new movement is beginning. Reshoreing will bring workers back home again as it becomes more expensive to conduct business in other countries. The process will accelerate if we remove restrictive regulations.

War Contracting = Big Bucks = Our money used to lobby congress and keep wars going = makes them money

http://blogs.alternet.org/speakeasy/2011/10/27/meet-the-0-01-percent-war-profiteers/

Disgusted by the overwhelming corporate influence in Congress? Look no further than the big military contractor companies, whose flagship companies spend enough on lobbying to dwarf even financial sector titans.

War Industry Lobbying Expenditures for 2010

Lockheed Martin: $12.7 million.
Northrop Grumman: $15.7 million.
Boeing: $17.89 million.

The war industry gets away with blowing our money on job-killing spending because it can bend Congress to its whim. In the process, the industry is like a vacuum sucking up brain power and engineering resources that could and would establish and grow entirely new wholesome industries. It’s no surprise that Americans confront a 9.1% unemployment rate and an under-employment rate flirting with 20 percent this year.

Want to know where all the money went that could be putting people back to work or keeping U.S. manufacturing industries competitive? The war industry CEOs dumped lobbying cash on Congress and diverted all that wealth to their private bank accounts.

Once again, I report, I explained the inequality on October 27.

The economic inequality did not cause the great recession. The housing bubble burst, and bad loans changed into exotic financial packages which spread around the world crashed like lead balloons.That’s what caused the recession. Many of the culprits were Democratic allies including those cozying up with Obama.

The Depression Democrats may have given the country new hope, but they failed to end the depression. The depression didn’t end until after WW11. One of Roosevelt’s economic advisers had admitted they failed.

You talk of major public works projects like the TVA or Hoover Dam. Do you have any concept of how long it would take to build such projects now? With all of the environmental regulations and other red tape, we can’t even build a new oil refinery without years of work. Many of those road blocks were created by Democrats.

And as Reagan would say “there you go again” with the favoring the rich meme again when we have already established the issue is more complex than simple talking points.

I report, I mentioned this before. Those 370,000 or so jobs lost due to Republican imposed government spending cuts were net wealth consumers, not creators. Their salaries and pensions were the result of the government’s taking money from “me” to redistribute to others.

We can no longer afford to pay people who are draining economic resources. Its true they recirculate money through economy, but again, they represent a net drain on our resources. We need to let the economy create new wealth and self-sustaining jobs. Only new wealth will rescue us from the jam we are in.

Study problems states like Illinois or California are having with a bloated work force and unfunded pensions. Look at what is happening in Europe. Their present is our future.

My wife taught school for nearly forty years, and I know law enforcement officers. Their jobs are important, but my taxes shouldn’t be paying a teacher’s salary in New York and funding a pension fund which might be better than mine.

Life will be nasty for people our spending cuts set adrift, and it might even set off another recession, but it is like triage. One makes hard decisions to let the few “die” to save the majority.

OWS is positively changing what people are looking up on the internet.

the vast inequality of wealth and income in the country. This inequality, which grows worse with each passing week since Congress has done nothing about it, was the primary cause of this Great Recession (just like a previous and very similar gap caused the Great Depression).

But there is a big difference between the previous gap causing the Great Depression, and the current gap causing the Great Recession. The previous gap was caused by the Republican Party favoring the rich and the coporations. But when the Democrats got into power they changed the economic policies, put people back to work (using WPA and CCC), created the Social Security system, and gave the country new hope.

But things were different this time. After the Republicans went back to their old ways of favoring the rich and the corporations, causing the current economic mess and the loss of millions of jobs, the people again put the Democrats back in power in 2008. But this time nothing happened. It turns out that the rich and corporations had gotten smarter — instead of just buying the Republican politicians, they also bought a passel of Democratic politicians (the blue dogs). And the Republicans combined with the blue dogs were powerful enough to prevent any economic changes or job creation.

Democrats with the exception of the House after the last election have been running the country. Were the OWS more aware, they would be protesting in front of the White House and Congress.

A poll shows 73% of the OWS surveyed disapprove of Obama, and a third have jobs. Most are communists, Greens and other far leftists. The movement may eventually replace “Democrat” as a core political identity for some in much the same way the Tea Party became a sub party. Democrats will be forced to tack to the left and further away from the mainstream. As Jonah Goldberg wrote, the OWS needs a Republican president to really succeed.

Amy Goodman is so naive I could gag. She glossed over the scattered acts of violence and racism which had Tea Parties committed them would have drawn the ire of our reporters. I have yet to hear much of the eliquence she described among the OWS campers.

Chris Hedges made some salient points without the cloying hero worship dripping from Goodman’s mouth. Though I could agree with him at times, he too was not reporting. He was a booster.

Had I not seen what I saw years ago, I might have believed them. Personal memories are more powerful than two reporters’ words.

The movement’s demands have been so vague and open- ended they are almost a Rocharch test to be interpreted according to the taste of the observer.

No one discussed who is pulling the strings. ACORN’s front group , The Working Families Party has been paying people to participate. Journalist Matthews Yadum of the Capital Research Center,(WorldNetDaily) said the protests are calculated to create the illusion of public support for a cause which can generate large profits for their organizers.

ACORN founder Wade Rathke embraces violence and computer hacking as a means of achieving “social justice.” Two billionaires, Herb and Marion Sanders, founders of World Savings Bank, gave ACORN affiliates about $11 million to generate street protests to hurt their competion in subprime mortgage lending.

SEIU board member Stephen Lerner also associated with Occupy Wall street said he wants to bring down the stock market.

I agree in principal what OWS was trying to say, but the money trail leads to those who they should be fighting against. The OWS people are pawns and if the puppet masters succeed in causing a breakdown in the social order they will be the first to be sacrificed.

I have read about revolutionary movements and have personal experience with the sixties and early seventies protests The script is the same. Only the actors are different.

I did some reading. The police did not shoot a former Marine. A tear gas canister hit an unlawful demonstrator in the head after he disobeyed a police order to disperse. As a former Marine, he should have understood more than anyone there the consequences of disobeying a lawful order.

Scott Olsen was in an uncontrolled environment contending with a superior force with superior weapons.The protesters were throwing objects and otherwise threatening the police. The police were bound to react with even more vigor in such a sceniaro. Olson relied on his emotions instead of accurately assessing the situation. I hope he recovers, but I have no sympathy for him. No one denied him his freedom of speech.

The OWS is not his friend any more than Cindy Sheehan was a friend of the anti-war movement. They were useful tools to be discarded after their usefulness was gone. OWS are looking for a Kent State moment, and those jackals will find a martyr as surely as the anti -war movement found several at Kent State.

If I recall, Scot Olsen made some anti- Marine statements several years ago. He was not an average Marine veteran.

Congress to Republicans because the institution is dysfunctional and not addressing the jobs problem, and this is a way to tie blame to the GOP.”

Washington insiders and those who track politics know that the Congress is divided. But polls taken over the last several years show that many voters are unclear which party runs the House and the Senate.”

I report, Hot Air explains the income disparity you mentioned. So does Power LIne. Richard Epstein told PBS that the “income inequality” screed misses the point. He said that the income inequality is the result of productiveness and success in the markets, and that imposing redistributive government policies to “correct” for the inequality will mean less innovation and economic success.

He argued that marginal and capital-gains taxes were much higher in earlier periods of economic growth and the tax code had more shelters for investors that shielded capital from seizure.

The Minneapolis Federal Reserve concluded that taking into account of household sizes, types and differing price index, median household income increased by 44% to 62% from 1976 to 2006. Median hourly wages including fringe benefits rose by 28% from 1975 to 2005.

“Numerous researchers have concluded that, on balance, the technological changes of the past several decades–and perhaps the entire past century- increased employers’ demand for workers with higher skills and more education. That increase, along with a smaller increase in the supply of workers with higher skills and more education generated substantial gains in the relative wages of more educated people. In the past decades, inequality has been going up everywhere.” “It is a global phenomenon.

The CBO guesses that the compensation of superstars such as actors athletes, and musicians may be especially sensitive to technological changes which increase their customer base.

The income inequality is growing because our under educated workers are competing with Asians and other foreigners.That is a result of globalization. Another factor no one mentioned is the large number of legal and illegal immigrants. Not all are Hispanic. Others come from Eastern Europe and Asia. As newcomers, their incomes tend to be lower than average. They will also contribute to the income disparity.

This week, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) provided just the latest analysis confirming that U.S. income inequality is at record levels. But while the income gap is at largest in 80 years even as the total federal tax burden is at its smallest in 60, the 2012 Republican presidential field is proposing to make both much, much worse. As the numbers show, the GOP field’s toxic mix of massive upper-class tax cuts, mountains of debt and draconian spending cuts would ensure the yawning chasm between the top 1% and everyone else grows wider still.

Regardless of which Republican emerges as the party’s standard bearer in 2012, the result as John Harwood explained on CNBC, is that the richest Americans would get back “hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions of dollars” annually from the U.S. Treasury.

Speaking to Anon 8:23am

I have struggled all my adult life to find my place in the world. I do not ever feel I have found my calling in life. So, as you might guess, I have for the most part lead a poor existence. Through my life a childhood buddy as done very well for himself. He is on his 3rd business and by my measure leads a very nice lifestyle. Through the 20+ years I have known him as he has gone from inventor to business man, back to inventor, back to business man, and he has taken me along the way to help me be more than what I ever thought I could be. He had me running his production facility, a position for which I felt unqualified for but he had faith in me. He encouraged me to ask questions, and I learned. By year 3 I was running the entire facility and would not see him inside the plant sometimes for months. Years later in another venture, he was even more successful than in the last. In this venture he asked me to do some sales for him. Within a couple of months he asked me to take over the division and build him a national sales team. This felt way above my pay-grade, but again he told me to ask lots of questions, and I did. To date I have reps in 32 states and we are continuing to grow. I am doing things I never thought I would be capable of doing and earning a nice living.

If we would encourage the people that go out and achieve, to share their knowledge and abilities with others, rather than try and take from them what they achieved through their own hard work, I think everyone would be the better for it.

Being a boss both in the blue collar and white collar world, I found positive reinforcement to be a superior motivation. Why live in a world where we take from one and give to another to achieve a goal? Why not instead give, and teach, and offer opportunities? In my experience it is far more rewarding to me and to those who are given that chance to excel.

Clinton did not balance the budget or leave a surplus until the Republicans took power and forced him to. He also was lucky to get the post Cold War windfall and the internet boom. It sent imagionary money into the economy until the recession began near the end of his administration. His timing was good. Had Bill stayed in office a while longer there would have been no surplus.

Clinton is a scoundrel who cost us a lot of money in impeachement expenses, but he is also nimble and adaptable. He is one of our smartest recent presidents. We would be in better shape today if Obama would ask himself, “what would Bill do?”

I report, if we use your hyperbole look it this way. Clinton was a serial sexual predator and according to Juanita Broderic, a rapist. He used the Arkansas State Patrol to troll for women at tax payer expense. Had he been able to control his perversions there would have been no sexual harrassment law suit, no lies and no $200 million spent to impeach him.

By your standards, if I steal your car, the police search for it, and you press charges, the money spent is your fault.

Again, as I wrote earlier, a government agency said the Iraq war cost over $800 billion, slightly less than Obama’s failed first stimulus. Not to spend all of that money in Afghanistan would have meant more attacks on us, and bin Ladin’s continued survival.

That torture helped us find him. Leon Penatta hinted as much. There is also a hazy definition of torture as Clinton showed us by a similar definition of “Is.” I have been tortured, and still have a slight disability because of it. Waterboarding caused no permanent damage. It was emotional, not physical torture.

We either should have invaded Afghanistan to stop al Quaeda or not. Judged from his pre- Presidential statements, Obama was a political parasite feeding off of Bush’s strategy for his own gain. He took credit for an operation others started and all he did was finish the job with an order.

We still don’t know all that awaits us in Obama care. The death panels are inside, and its rules are so onerous, thousands of waivers are still being issued to selected friends.

I report, Clinton lied in a court case. That was purgery and obstruction of justice. As I wrote before, you and I would have gone to jail for that offense.

Don’t confuse President Clinton’s public statement with what he said in court.
His “I did not have sexual relations with that woman” was tacky and disrespectful to Monica Lewinsky and especially his family. However, Bill was not under oath when he said it. That statement had nothing to do with what followed, because Bill broke no laws on that day.

Impeaching Clinton for breaking the law was worth every penny of the 200 million dollars to preserve the principal that no one is above the law. It was the right punishment, because Bill did not deserve to be thrown out office, in my opinion. He did deserve the public humiliation and historical record the trial inflicted on him. Clinton also deserved to lose his license to practice law.

The answer is no.
President Obama has broken no laws as far as we know. He lies and makes mistakes, but if we impeached him for that, we would have to prematurely fire most of our politicians.

Eric Holder, on the other hand should be fired. The Justice Department is proposing a change to the Freedom of Information Act. Under the proposed change, agencies citing an exemption would be allowed to “respond to the request as if the excluded records did not exist,” rather than citing the relevant exemption. Betsy’s Page explains it.

We subscribe to Time, so I have read the article. October 9-10 is a long time ago. The CNN poll I quoted is more recent. The poll showed that like the OWS, many people are angry about the banks, disparity of incomes, etc. but except for Democrats, they don’t connect to the OWS because crazies are polluting the message and turning the protest into a joke.

I only know what you wrote about the Florida voting law. ACORN and others flooded the polls with bogus voters in the last election. Many were so ridiculous they may have been intended to slow the registration process rather than actually send bogus votes into the system. Thus, I see nothing wrong with the law as you described it. I don’t understand how it could repress rightful voters.

Registering to vote should take at least as much time and trouble as it does to get a drivers license, to buy a car, or to borrow money.

NEW SMYRNA BEACH — The teacher who heads up New Smyrna Beach High School’s student government association could face thousands of dollars in fines. Her transgression? Helping students register to vote.

Prepping 17-year-olds for the privileges and responsibilities of voting in a democracy is nothing new for civics teachers, but when Jill Cicciarelli organized a drive at the start of the school year to get students pre-registered, she ran afoul of Florida’s new and controversial election law.

Among other things, the new rules require that third parties who sign up new voters register with the state and that they submit applications within 48 hours. The law also reduces the time for early voting from 14 days to eight and requires voters who want to give a new address at the polls to use a provisional ballot.

Republican lawmakers who backed the rules said they were necessary to reduce voter fraud. Critics — including U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, who testified before a congressional committee — said the law would suppress voter participation.

Recent Polling:
Time Magazine commissioned a poll (done on October 9th and 10th of 1,001 randomly chosen adults), and that poll showed that 54% of the public approved of the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations while only 23% disapproved (and another 23% said they didn’t know enough to have an opinion).

Those are some pretty nice numbers — numbers that the two political parties can only dream about these days. Obviously the protesters had struck a chord with a lot of angry and unhappy Americans. Why was this happening? Why had the people stopped believing the broken promises of both political parties? Well, some clues can be gleaned from the answers to some other questions the Time Poll asked. One of those questions was:

DO YOU BELIEVE THE GAP BETWEEN THE RICH & POOR HAS GROWN TOO LARGE?
Yes……………79%
No……………17%
Don’t know……………3%

That means about four out of every five Americans believes the distribution of wealth and income in this country is not just unequal, but unfair. This kind of inequality has not been seen since just before the Great Depression (and it then resulted in a massive economic disaster — just like today). As the chart pictured above shows:

Top 1% controls 38.1% of the country’s wealth.
Top 5% controls 59.4% of the country’s wealth.
Top 10% controls 70.9% of the country’s wealth.
Top 20% controls 83.4% of the country’s wealth.
Top 40% controls 95.3% of the country’s wealth.

I’m glad a news show called them out too.

Many Democrats must have been drinking some of that toxic water to fall for the OWS scheme. As I wrote, the human garbage that we call hippies has polluted the movement literally and figuratively.

The Anti -Defamation League has or will be complaining about the movement’s anti-semetic statements.

People around Zuccotti Park, New York City want them gone. Some police officers blame the increased number of shootings in the city on their having to spread their forces too thinly away from the park. The operation has cost the city at least $3 million.

The story is beginning to bore people, and enough freak-show videos are circulating on social media that the movement is not getting the support they need from the middle class.

Democratic Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed is the latest mayor to threaten to evict the protesters. A CNN poll gives OWS’s favorable rating among Democrats at 45/12. It is 33/30 among independents. The longer people snicker at the antics of their fringe and the longer the movement fails to offer a coherent message the harder it will be for them to win popular support.

Their main chance may be martyrdom as police evict a large group with billy clubs to the head during mass arrests.

Some people also accused me of whining about our flood– that it was less serious than I described. The Omaha World Herald compared our volume of flood water with Hurricane Irene’s. The Hurricane dropped an average of eight inches of rain or more on an area the size of the Nebraska Panhandle. Storms associated with our flood produced an area of eight inches plus on an area the size of the entire state of Nebraska. This was in addition to melting record snowfall.

Moreover, much of the Eastern floodwater ran into the nearby ocean while all of our water had to flow down one river.

Last night, in Omaha, the Corps of Engineers reps appologised to an angry crowd. Environmentalists who’s policies helped worsen the flood wisely stayed away. Even worse, the Corps has not changed the amount of water they plan to store over the winter. Authorities have told a friend that they will deny it if anyone tells, but given the winter and spring forecast they guage our chances of a similar flood next spring as higher than the chances were at this time last year. For one thing the approach of winter will not give contractors time to rebuild damaged and weakened dikes.

Twenty acre ponds of water remain on some of our land. Neighbors face up to eight to ten feet of sand and deep fissures on their land. After five months, our highway system is still not all repaired. Some companies have lost 30% of their business because of transportation problems.

This diatribe is not directed at you or most of the regulars on this site, I report. I respect you. I am sending this to educated fools who resorted to personal attacks when they couldn’t counter my arguments. Thom is the latest to be so blinded by elitism and emotion he wouldn’t recognize the the truth if it bit him. He thought I didn’t understand my true motivation, but I do. It is to expose poseurs like him.

Read my earlier posts. The Bush tax cuts helped send the unemployment rate down to as low as 4.6% and revenue increased to what the New York Times called a windfall. Our Republican and later Democratic Congress’ increasing spending faster than tax revenues was not the fault of the tax cuts. I agree, creation of high paying jobs was less robust than it would have been without the globalization started by Clinton and supported by Bush.

By the standard of your overblown way of putting things, the economy crashed because Democrats forced banks to give loans to risky clients, and they used Fannie and Freddie as their political piggy bank. I’m being too simplistic, but so are you. We have already shown the role Democrats played in the crash.

Continuing your same standards, I counter with the Democrats’ blocking any Republicans’ attempts to lower spending and to create conditions for job growth. The Democrats are in power, and their failure is here for all to behold.

Of course the wars are ending during the past year. Our soldiers have accomplished most of their mission after ten years. Again, with your overblown standards, Obama’s people blundered when they couldn’t reach an agreement to keep some of our soldiers in Iraq to continue their training mission. We will pay for that mistake. We also fought an illegal war in Libya, at least by the standards of some of Bush’s war critics.

Momar Khadifi repressed Islam fundamentalists. Now that he is gone, they may face Sharia Law and polygamy. You and I could move there and have up to four wives.

The CBO states the cost of the war in Iraq is $709 billion for military and related activities, including training of Iraqi forces and diplomatic operations. The projected cost of the stimulus passed in 2009 is $862 billion.

Your last post is so inaccurate, surely even you can’t accept it without laughing. As usual, I agree with some of what you wrote.

Wars that run 10 years run up bills of 3 Trillion or so. Bush passing a prescription drug bill that was not paid for cost 2 Trillion dollars. The tax cuts stimulated the economy? Where were the jobs? It was the worst 10 year job record of the century. The economy crashed during the Bush Years because of the ineptness of de-regulation and the greed it caused.

It is interesting that President Obama got into wars that were finished within a year and cost Billions instead of Trillions and 10 years.

Health care costs were rising without any changes and more and more people were being denied coverage. That needed to change. I prefer a single payer system myself. President Obama is looking at the cost and cutting back on parts which are too expensive.

Me too, and You also Craig.

I report, I agree Obama deserves credit for his foreign policy. He has basically continued Bush’s strategy, and most of his successes have come from the War on Terrorism. However, we may face some unintended consequences.

You know how it is. Politicians are loath to give the other side credit for successes, no matter which party is involved.

Obama had a Congressional majority at first and continued the Bush TARP program which probably helped save the banking system. He also saved a major part of our auto industry. However, his first stimulus program, Cash for Clunkers, and regulations intended to by pass Congress failed to permanently stimulate the economy.

Obamacare will prove to be worse and more expensive than our present system during the next twenty or thirty years. His policies helped create the Tea Party movement which stopped his agenda. Obama has himself to blame for his failed domestic policies. As I wrote, he deserves credit for his foreign policy.

Republicans did not spend all of that money on Clinton for a blow job. They spent it to impeach a politician who committed purgery, in a court case It was a criminal offense. You and I would have gone to jail for lying under oath. Clinton lost his law license, and he should have been impeached but allowed to stay in office as happened.

We have already established Bush and his gang did not crash the economy. We have also proven that the Bush tax cuts stimulated the economy and helped stop the earlier recession.

All of those social bills you mentioned are why I think the Republicans deserved to lose Congress during the Bush administration.

Arguing with you is a nice diversion. I’m glad you are still here.

Point is, we have a former community organizer and law professor who seems to actually know what he is doing in terms of foreign policy. And the best part is he has managed to do all of this without a lick of opposition from the Right. They may not give the President credit for any of his foreign successes, but let’s face it, they did not stop him from accomplishing any of it either.
Now imagine if Republicans just gave Obama the freedom to do his job domestically too. My guess is he would also be one of the most successful domestic policy President’s since FDR. It is astounding to think of where we would be by now if that were the case.

I found fault with only one word in your post, I report.

Japan’s economic stagnation is no myth. While not in recession, its economy has struggled with too closely knit- businesses and government. Its population is aging as the economy slowly shrinks. The strong Yen has also handicapped business.

Kathy Chu of USA Today (Sept 28) wrote that the recent earth quake and tidal wave was a wake up call for Japanese businesses. To survive they must diversify and earn customers outside of Japan’s “stagnating economy.” Japanese have aquired nearly twice the foreign businesses than they did last year.

The government created a $50 billion fund to help companies with resource related aquisitions and $50 billion to encourage companies to trade yen reserves for dollars.Yui Yoshikawa, the director of a market research fund said companies which can’t afford to invest overseas are exporting more and tailoring their products to regional demand. Because of the stagnant economy and aging population, expanding overseas is the “only means in my mind for Japanese companies to survive.”

They and the Swiss are concentrating on American companies.

(Incidentally, the story that Japan has been “struggling” economically that has been widely peddled by the U.S. media in recent years is nothing more than a myth).
…How, then, should we regard a country that has 5% unemployment, the lowest income inequality, healthcare for all its people and is one of the world’s leading exporters?
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/2010/aug/11/paul-krugman-japan-lost-decade

The only problem is that, since 1980, wages started stagnating for the rest of us. Allowing for inflation, average workers’ wages have barely budged in more than three decades.

The result is that America now has the income inequality levels of a Third World nation. In fact, the top 400 richest Americans now own a titanic amount of wealth that exceeds the combined wealth of the bottom 155 million Americans.
America, after all, has lost millions of good-paying manufacturing jobs just in the past 10 years. We’ve lost over 42,000 factories, just since 2001. By contrast, even America’s most prosperous and high-profile companies, like Apple, haven’t even come close to replacing the job losses in the manufacturing sector. Hence, America’s stubbornly high jobless rates (and the even more troubling absence of new well-paid jobs).

I report, Japan’s economic situation is not all that healthy. They have lived with slow growth since around 1990. They do maintain the technological base they created during the boom years of the eighties. If memory serves, Japan and Germany offer a better environment for businesses than we do. Japan’s citizens save a lot of personal money.

Germany also refused to follow Obama’s advice to spend its way out of recession, and they are now relatively healthy. They also provide hope that they can support some of the weaker economies as they work their way out of onerous debt. Estonia is another country with even more conservative economic values because they still remember communism.

The United States is not even in the list of top ten nations with good environments for small business and their births. Rawanda is ahead of us.

I agree, we could learn from those and other countries. Canada is another nation which is progressing from doldrums than we are.

Its true the Bush administration let jobs slip to other countries, but you neglect Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton started globalization. Don’t you remember those halycone days when the boom would never end and expansion with new technology would replace the new jobs? The new foreign jobs would create new middle class customers to buy our products and create new jobs here.

Clinton forgot that water seeks its own level. World-wide competion
drew wages up in undeveloped nations and took developed countries’ wages down to a mean between the two. You are right, Bush deserves some of the blame, but so does Clinton. Many, not all roads lead to Clinton. This is another road from the beautiful dream of unicorns and bubbles.

What countries are setting the standard for manufacturing and Research and Development? Japan and Germany – of course. They have strong unions and strong manufacturing – why? Read on.

Consider what countries Apple gets their major components from! Japan and Germany

http://www.beggarscanbechoosers.com/2011/10/steve-jobs-represented-much-of-whats.html

…For a start, nations like Japan and Germany are simply no longer low-wage countries. Both have wages that are as high, if not higher, than what U.S. workers earn. Both nations have strong organized labor and strict pro-labor laws that would be inconceivable to Americans. Mass layoffs are virtually impossible in both nations. And the extremely strong yen of recent years has made Japan a particularly expensive nation to do business in. But despite all these “obstacles,” both nations continue to go from strength to strength in leading the world in high-tech manufacturing.

In short, there must be other reasons why the likes of Apple rely on Japanese and German suppliers for key iPhone components. Low wages and low manufacturing costs simply can’t be the reason.

It’s clear that a big part of the reason is that the U.S. simply can’t compete with nations like Japan or Germany in high-tech manufacturing. The reasons for this are many: everything from America’s abysmal public education system to our nation’s crumbling infrastructure to our complete lack of a logical industrial policy.

By contrast, nations like Japan and Germany have honed carefully planned long-term industrial policies aimed at boosting both nations’ industrial competitiveness.

I report, the OWS might win, but I doubt it. For one thing, most have failed to state their goals well. Until they do, it will be hard to define victory or defeat. The Tea Party had a coherent simple message, which was close to what a majority of the voters agreed with. They were peaceful and cleaned up after themselves. Attempted smears didn’t work because the Tea Parties were so well-behaved.

The Tea Parties and OWS share some views in common, but the OWS is an amourphous mass of people ranging from Tea Party sympathizers to Communists and anarchists. Unlike the Tea Parties who demonstrated and left, these folks are camping out and making nuisances of themselves. They are advocating leftist solutions out of sync with the majority. The Tea Parties coming and then leaving gave them more attention and novelty value lacking with the OWS.

Their “hippy” and racist wing has said and done intemporate things that produce the kind of attention which alienates the majority. They have not put their concerns into specific goals which one can grasp. Exploitation by the 1%( I’d judge 10%) matters less than the impression the protesters make on the general population. People will judge them on the actions of the extreme minority.

Just as the Tea Party was a danger to Democrats and moderate Republicans, the OWS can do potential harm especially to Democrats. A recent poll showed only 48% supported Obama. If more become frustrated and violent or realize Obama and Wall Street are joined at the hip, he is toast.

The world poured increasing quantities of green house gases into the atmosphere during the twentieth century, and yet the climate cooled from 1940 to the 1970’s. If the simplistic explaination is true the warming should have been steady.

The rate of warming was also interrupted after 1998 when even more CO2 and similar gases flew into the atmosphere.We tied 1998 with an ENSO warm phase in 2005, but it was less intense than expected. One explanation may be Sulfate aerosols from volcanoes and human pollution. China, India and other countries are pouring more such pollutants into the atmosphere each year. Solar cycles may also play a role to counterbalance the extra CO2..

As I wrote, climate change has become a political and economic, not a scientific issue. The solutions associated with Al Gore will not stop global warming and they would send billions of people back into subsistance life. We would deny much of the world a chance at the bountiful lives a minority of us in the richer countries enjoy. Let private enterprise, not government fiat solve the problem.

Hippies touch a raw nerve.
I met enough hippies when I came home from the service to last a lifetime. They called people like me baby killers and fascists. They threw rubbish at returning soldiers.

Koch and friends want to water down any environmental regulation which would cause them to upgrade plants or be concerned about water quality they dump their chemical waste into.

We have been wasting time with junk science so the Koch Brothers and Big Oil can destroy our environment without any restrictions.

Have hippies exported jobs?

Let me tell you something about hippies. Hippies didn’t export anyone’s jobs, hippies didn’t lie us into an immoral war, hippies didn’t conspire to steal anyone’s pension funds, hippies didn’t order anyone tortured, hippies didn’t steal so much that it crashed the economy of the entire world, and hippies don’t go on national tv and spew nonsense and propaganda for a very nice living.

So go ahead and blame hippies for everything…as if they had ruled us for decades. We should be so lucky. But we weren’t that lucky – not by a long shot. Instead, we got you.

So if the hippies have some advice for you Wall Street assholes, maybe you should listen. You could do worse. You did do worse. You did a lot worse.
Hippies told you to mind your planet. Hippies told you to make love not war. Hippies told you to not let greed grab you. But did you listen?

No. You and your minions in Congress and elsewhere turned your backs on responsibility. You abandoned the people and sold your souls to the highest bidders. Consequences be damned.

You should thank what gods may be that there are still hippies, that there are still people who put humanity over corporate profits, that there are still those who insist that we do the right thing rather than the profitable thing. We just may save the planet from assholes like you.
Meanwhile, our bought-and-paid-for politicians can’t do shit:
Global warming? Sorry.

Unjust wars? Nope, nothing to be done.
An oppressive and unjust Military Industrial Complex? C’est la vie.

Global warming is real. There is no doubt in my mind. ISU extension climatologist Dr. Elwynn Taylor said a few years ago that humans are contributing about 8 or 9% to global warming. That doesn’t sound like much, but it adds up like compound interest at the bank. It also means external factors play an even more important role.

Brian Beutler’s article cites two meterologists he says are turning on the “renegade denier.” Neither is as hostile as presented by the headline. Beutler wrote that Marc Moruno’s conclusions “aren’t technically in conflict with the views of a subset of those that accept Earth is warming but deny that humans are driving the warming.”

Anthony Watts should not have catagorically written “I’m prepared to accept whatever they produce even if it proves my premise wrong.” He was foolish to paint himself in a cornier.

He is right to wait for a peer review. That’s how its done. But his previous statement makes him look like a welcher.

Both sides have turned a scientific issue into a political contest. Global warmists and deniers egos are involved, of course, but the battle lines concern solutions which would take our money and freedom while killing millions of people.

Another part of the scam is the Obama administration’s giving money to questionable green companies who should be getting their financing from banks.
The administration guaranteed a $529 million loan to a car company named Fisker to build electric cars. It was touted as another source of domestic jobs as the company reduced our dependence on carbon based fuels. Its product would help fight global warming.

The firm outsourced its operation to Finnland, and so far, it has only produced two cars. The Government Accountability Office criticized the Energy Department for not keeping close enough tabs on its fleet of auto loans. There is no guarantee we will get our money back.

Al Gore is a fat pig using climate change for his own financial and political advantage. He has exaggerated to frighten people into believing the world will end if we fail to surrender our freedoms and money while he and his allies consume more carbon than most small towns.

I read the Climategate e mails. The climatologists discussed freezing out scientists who disagreed with them and “fixing” the data because it didn’t agree with their climate projections. The warming had paused, and they couldn’t understand why.

External forces influence our climate to a greater degree than human elements,and to blame all of our warming on humans is a redistributionist scam.

Joe Melburg 9/27/2011 wrote in the comments section of a link to the main story, “How Climate Change Deniers Won.” :If killing off whole industries and plunging millions into poverty is what you call losing nothing, then I guess you have a ;point, and if the warmers weren’t all convieniently also anti-capitalist and to the left of Marx on every other issue, maybe people wouldn’t see your political (not scientific) agenda.

The jobs bill is nothing more than window dressing, potentially as ineffective as the first stimulus law which failed. Even Obama joked that the shovel-ready jobs weren’t as shovel ready as they had expected.

Teachers and first responders are not the responsibility of the federal government. They are mostly locally funded. This bill would merely send money to cash-starved states who might use funds to salvage some teachers’ jobs until the government money ran out. A relatively few temp jobs will not revive our economy.

Even I report admits teachers and others would ultimately be unemployed again in two or three years with little permanent benefit to the economy.

This bill was written to save two jobs, Obama’s and Biden’s. Its emotional impact is intended to turn voters against the evil Republicans who’s cold hearts would deny our children the right to a good education while people die for lack of first responders.

Big press should be telling us the truth about the bill, and other party failings, but it is a Democratic lap dog. Their hyprocracy is especially striking when they ignore Obama’s saying he has made no mistakes. They lambasted Bush for saying the same thing.

By the standards they used to judge the Tea Party, the Occupy Wall Street group is a gang of violent, racist, anti-semetic socialists.

HI delurkergurl. Thanks for the good thoughts. I thought I’d be gone a long time. Best Buy told us our computer was being sent away for maybe a month. No one had asked what we wanted to do, so we were prepared to protest. My wife was especially ready to maul bystanders.

Then, we discovered someone had made a mistake and confused our computer with someone else’s computer. It was ready to go home.

I was out on the flooded farm checking to see if there were more stranded fish to rescue and visited with our neighbor and her four-year old grand daughter who thinks I walk on water.She was checking on her house and cleaning. The house is in fairly good shape, though it has settled so much doors can’t be closed all the way.

New opportunities are already springing up to take our minds of our lives’ change of focus, but you can imagine how empty I feel. However, I feel really bad for people with up to eight feet of sand on their land. Others have deep trenches.
Whenever the wind blows, it looks like a ground blizzard as the sand drifts.

From what I know of him, Dan Weldon was, as you wrote, a good man and one of the sport’s biggest boosters. I usually rooted for him. He had a good family, and the suddeness was no doubt, especially hard on them. Many drivers and others were crying. Ashly Judd was trying without success to comfort her husband, also a top driver.

I like the tube, tunnel idea. Maybe we should try it. I plant tomatoes and melons in peat boxes in our house around the first of April. Occasionally, we have put a few tomatoes inside in five gallon pails. One produced tomatoes at Christmas. Both died in March.

I don’t think it is silly to work hard to see what will work. It is a challenge to meet. I have kept string beans alive and producing until early November in warm years. My brother kept tomatoes and peas alive until Thanksgiving, but that was an unusual year. I never thought I would be picking tomatoes after our Thanksgiving dinner. On cold nights, we put tarps or blankets over the plants and place pans of boiling water around the plants.

Does your climate let you raise sweetcorn? What about melons? What sort of berries grow in your and the Bristol Bay area? Can wild raspberries grow there?

I know interior regions such as Fairbanks get thunderstorms and hail. What about where you live? Is it more like the Pacific Northwest coastal areas where thunderstorms are uncommon? Do you and your friend in the Bristol Bay area have a similar climate? What are your extremes? Ours are from about 110 to -40 over a period of years and 105 to -25 in any given year. We average about 25 inches of precipitation per year, and the total has been slowly rising.

We had 2 frosts and a couple of autumn storms with winds around 60mph in Sept which put an end to much of growing. The biggest fight here though is in maintaining daytime soil temps sufficient for growing from about Aug 15 on. Same on the other end of the growing year… lots of light by mid March but temps still in the freezer.
Low tunnel setup
http://www.motherearthnews.com/Organic-Gardening/Low-Tunnels-Quick-Hoops.aspx
allowed for me to start stuff outside at the end of March and be eating fresh greens by the 1st of May (fully 4-6 weeks ahead of the norm) and to still have fresh food here in mid Oct- over a month later than normal.
It may seem silly to work so hard to see what will work but given that all food here, except fish, comes in from 1000 miles away and multiple days on a barge it seems worth it to me.
Besides I’m in a semi-competition with a friend in Bristol Bay area , sinilar latitude, different longitude , to see who can extend the growing season the most. I have only cussedness on my side. She and her husband have real need. They get mail planes twice a week weather-permitting and barges only twice a year usually. Fresh food is a luxury out there after berry and wild greens season.

You might enjoy the official LOVE 146 Flash Mob-Can you see me? on you tube. Unlike most flash mobs this one was planned to publicize a Christian- oriented charity working to stop child exploitation. The performers were stars and dancers in London’s West End theaters, and . Annie Lenix wrote the song. They performed on Trafalger Square last April.

Best Buy mistook our computer with another, so we got it back yesterday.

Congratulations on your successful garden.

Our first freeze came around Sept. 16 but our garden survives because we have covered it at night. Our tomatoes are finally producing well, and we have a nice crop of beets and carrots. The rest of our garden has matured and gone.

We had an adventure yesterday morning. About thirty acres of our land is still under water. Fish are being trapped in puddles as the water retreats. I decided that since we now have a flood- enhanced lake, we should save some of the fish and put them in our new lake.

My wife thought I was silly, but she went along in case I got into trouble. I didn’t understand why. What could happen? I put boards on the mud and carried two five gallon pails with me to the puddles. I used a shovel to scoop up fish and mud for the pails. Then, I tried to hand the pails to my wife.

The boards were submerged beneath the mud and water. I nearly got stuck as I carried the pails to dry land. Then, I used the shovel to pry the boards out of the mud. They were so slippery I had trouble holding them. Meanwhile, I sank lower and lower into the mud as mammoths did in the La brea Tar Pits. I was stuck. The harder I tried, the deeper I went. I asked my wife to help me pull myself out, but she said “you got yourself into this mess. Get yourself out. I don’t want to ruin my shoes.”

While my wife walked back a quarter of a mile to get the spade, I dug myself out with a grain shovel. I escaped before her return, but my legs were covered with stinky mud. Before the morning ended, we had hauled six gallons of fish and baby craw fish four miles to our new lake.

Later, my eye doctor and her nurse laughed when I told the story. She said ” I can just hear your wife saying that.” Five minutes later she began to laugh again. As I left for the waiting room where my wife was, the nurse yelled “Stay out of the mud!”

the Government Accountability Office to audit the Fed’s lending programs during the financial crisis.

As a result of this audit, the American people have learned that the Federal Reserve provided more than $16 trillion in low-interest loans to every major financial institution in this country, huge foreign banks, multi-national corporations, and some of the wealthiest people in the world.

In other words, when Wall Street was on the verge of collapse, the federal government acted boldly, aggressively, and with a fierce sense of urgency to save our financial system from collapse with no strings attached.

Now that the middle class is collapsing and a record-breaking 46 million Americans are living in poverty, the Federal Reserve has failed to act with the same sense of urgency to make sure that small businesses receive the affordable loans needed to put millions of Americans back to work and prevent millions of Americans from losing their homes.

As a result, Wall Street is back to making record-breaking profits, handing out record-breaking compensation packages, and taking the same risks that caused the financial crisis in the first place. Meanwhile, 25 million Americans are unemployed or under-employed; middle class families are making $3,600 less than they did ten years ago; the foreclosure rate is still breaking new records; and the American people are still paying over $3.40 for a gallon of gas.

The financial crisis and the jobs crisis have demonstrated to the American people that we now have a government that is of the 1 percent, by the 1 percent and for the 1 percent, as Nobel Prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz eloquently articulated. The rest of the 99 percent are, more or less, on their own. We now have the most unequal distribution of wealth and income of any major, advanced country on earth. The top one percent earn more income than the bottom 50 percent and the richest 400 Americans own more wealth than the bottom 150 million Americans.

When the California-based solar energy company Solyndra went bankrupt this year, we lost thousands of jobs and over half a billion dollars in taxpayer funds.

The Obama administration’s handling of Solyndra could likely be dismissed as poor judgment if not for two key facts.

First, a Department of Energy official (and Obama bundler) lobbied the White House to push through the taxpayer-funded loan for Solyndra despite promises to recuse himself completely. The reason he was supposed to butt out? His wife works for a law firm representing Solyndra!

Second, the Department of Energy modified Solyndra’s loan to protect private investment over the investment of taxpayer dollars. The Treasury Department warned that this could very well be illegal, yet the Department of Energy failed to consult with the Justice Department!

Clearly this amounts to corrupt cronyism in the federal government, and the taxpayers are left holding the bag! Solyndra’s executives even pleaded the Fifth when they were called to testify before Congress!

For the M & H eulogy I would like to offer up the words from your blessed Messiah, so that we may forever be able to hold both in their proper context.

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, the buck stops here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”

I’ve come to believe that Anita Perry is as repulsed by Rick Perry as I am.

Now, I’m not saying she doesn’t have every reason to be. Best I can figure Rick Perry probably showers with his laser sited .380 Ruger just in case that creepy guy from Psycho shows up. Or a doddle bug wanders in just asking for a fight. I mean, cleaning Rick’s misfires off the walls has to be a burden.

And you know there’s mornings at the breakfast table where she wants to push his grapefruit right into his face and holler, “Quit moving your lips and pointing at the words when you read the newspaper, dammit.” Bless her heart, the poor woman only has one nerve left and Rick’s obviously getting all over it.

So, in the passive-aggressive way that some Texas women have honed to an art form, she goes out and says stuff like him needing to improve his debating and that he’ll be “better prepared next time,” making him seem like a first grader who failed a spelling test. She might as well open her purse and show everybody that his winkie is in there.

She has to be passive-aggressive about this because her husband’s political backers gift wrap the paycheck for her $60,000 a year “job.”

Today is my birthday so what better time for “nooner” or afternoon delight”? Our computer is sick and will be gone for maybe a month. You won’t be hearing much from me for awhile.

We are also very busy. Next Thursday, I have to present our board of supervisors with a certificate and give a little speech for the newspapers. I’m looking forward to the cake afterward.

Thanks for the good thoughts uawtradesman and Noahwestmichigan. Yes, it is hard to give up a family business. If you are like us, I imagine it is almost like losing a child.

Some of the land has been in the family since an ancestor bought it as swamp ground in 1853. My wife and I worked very hard to buy it all plus some more, and family tradition dictated that another generation would carry on our unbroken chain.

We knew it would end with us, because the children took other jobs, but my father farmed until he was 92, so I thought we would last longer than we have. Once the flood is behind us, we will be alright financially, but it feels strange knowing someone else will be farming all of our land.

I’m not going to bottle up or dwell on my sadness, because to do otherwise would be unhealthy. You two and so many others have faced far worse than we. I send good wishes back to you.

A Washington Post-Bloomberg News poll conducted Oct. 6-9 found that 68 percent of all voters and 54 percent of Republican and Republican-leaning voters favored raising taxes on incomes above $250,000 (i.e., the Obama plan) to tackle the deficit. On the question of whether to reduce Social Security or Medicare benefits to reduce the deficit, 83 and 82 percent, respectively, of all voters opposed. For Republicans and Republican-leaners, these proportions were only slightly lower: 79 and 77 percent, respectively. Entitlement spending will have to be cut, of course, to reduce the deficit, because entitlement spending represents a majority of all federal spending. (Only one-fifth of federal spending resides in the “non-defense discretionary” category currently being whittled to the bone.) But that option is pretty unpopular with just about everyone and it is therefore politically unwise for Republican politicians to try to balance the budget through spending cuts alone.

Like most folks, I watched Rev. Robert Jeffers of the First Baptist Church of Dallas and my gaydar went nuclear and melted down to a pile of manure. On the upside, it was very glittery pile of manure.

Well, customer Sam did some checking and discovered that Rev. Jeffers and the First Baptist Church of Dallas ought to be on Rick Perry’s payroll. Not only does Rev. Jeffers endorse Perry on the freeking 50(c)3 website, but even puts in on the front page.

Here’s a screen shot I took before their lawyers alerted them about tax exemptions. Click the little one to get the big one.

Momma is a Baptist but, but as she constantly says when asked what religion she is, “not THAT kind of Baptist.” She is the Bill Moyers kind of Baptist. She voted for Obama and will do it again. She don’t need any prissy high livin’ silk suit slick talkin’ preacher man telling her how to vote. She will read what Jesus has to say and vote accordingly. She is THAT kind of Baptist.

Au contrair, Jsri. YOU reaped what you sowed, because you weren’t paying attention. That day, was priceless. It was equivalent to a hunter’s returning to his car to discover a deer had already tied itself to the roof.

Had you paid attention, you would have known I earned a MA with thesis AND nine hours toward a PhD. My committee was already making suggestions for my expanding the MA to a PHD. I did it in four semesters. My 3.70 cumulative average was undoubtably lower than yours, but it wasn’t bad for a country rube like me. They were disappointed when I dropped out.

If I were you, I’d question my own writing skills. You haven’t shown us much of quality. If what you described was the intended essence of your comment, you need some remedial help. The fact that I told you I was already working on my PHD made your comment irrelevant when applied to me.

Again, you strapped yourself to the roof of my car. I understand why you avoid me. I usually get the better of you. Look at the record.

Thanks for the comments. You have done wonders for my disposition.

I eat anything for breakfast from corn on the cob to frozen chocolate cupcakes.

Donna, I like those teams too, but you probably follow them closer than I. How do you think Nebraska will do in the Big Ten? I had my doubts because their previous victories this season were not pretty. Had they played stronger teams they would have lost or won by narrower margins. After Wisconsin, I was worried about a downward spiral.

Of course, Ohio had some problems with suspended players and a crucial injury late in the first half which coincided with the Nebraska rally, so I’m not sure about their long term chances this season.

I miss the Oklahoma-Nebraska rivalry.

Do you think Auburn will take long to recover from their loss to Arkansas?

You said of me: “One of my favorite moments “here” occurred when he in effect claimed I found my MA in a breakfast Cracker Jack box. NOP and others took him to task because Jsri appeared to be insulting state universities.”

As usual you completely bungled the essence of my comment. What I actually said was that when PhD programs have a less than stellar student they will often offer a MA or MS as a terminal degree and withhold recommending the candidate for further study either at the home institution or at another place. This applies to top tier institutions as well as state institutions.

If you characterize your MA as coming from a “breakfast Cracker Box” then so be it. That was not my comment but I have to admit that I didn’t know people ate cracker Jacks for breakfast. That’s your impression but I’m not surprised.

It is pretty obvious that you are not a product of the Iowa Writers Workshop.

I agree with Jsri about civility,

and he is right that insults win few converts.
We are all products of life experiences, and we are more than our religious or political beliefs.

We know about flash mobs. Most participate for fun. However, for a Christian- orientated organization called Love146, a flash mob is part of the job to destroy the evil of child exploitation. Official Love 146 Flash Mob on you tube shows them at work in Trafalgar Square, London last April.

Annie Lenox wrote the song they used, and donated sales proceeds. The group has expanded so far that on October 1, two organizers spoke at the University of Nebraska.

I think a light- hearted flash mob demonstration near Wall Street would do wonders for the prostesters’ image.

The only difference between then and now is the cast and balance of power have changed.

Judge looks down his patrician nose at the inferior discourse without doing anything to demonstrate that he is capable of an origional thought. He felt he was so clever to compare me to a Cro- Magnun, but he couldn’t even get that right.

Jsri, made some good points, but his anger at who he considers usurpers blinds him to the hyprocracy which rules him.

The expected double standard judges the Tea Party and Wall Street Protests differently. Most of the bi- coastal press reinforces the truth that they are little more than shills for the Democrats and liberal world view.

Two years ago, a few leftist plants embedded themselves within the protests to create incidents. Politicians like Nancy Pelosi lied. They tried to use isolated incidents to portray the entire Tea Party movement in a bad way. They also ignored the few leftists who physically attacked some Tea Party demonstrators.

Today, News Busters has pictures of filth the protesters left behind, and referred to a man who defecated on a police car. They also show pictures of protesters being arrested. A group in Atlanta refused to let John Lewis, a sympathizer speak. Mayor Bloomberg has said the protests are costing money and nearby residents are complaining about the noise and blocked streets.

This is unfair to the majority of peaceful protesters, but if we carry the logic of I report and others to their conclusion, these protesters are a violent, racist mob unable to clean up after themselves.

Jesus whether or not he still exists, is a divine being. His complexity allows one to read liberal or conservative teachings into His words.

Thanks to the flood, we are out of the farming business. We are renting the last of our land to someone else so we will not have to dig ourselves from a potential financial hole. We have converted our farm into the equivalent of an interest bearing annuity. Someone else will shoulder the burden of debt next year. After over a hundred years, the farm as it was is dead.
