I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

Athena - good to see you - everything OK in your area?

I never thought I'd see a POTUS candidate more loathsome than GW Bush, but his name is Willard Romney.   He has zero integrity.  The Chrysler lie/story is just depressing...the extent someone will go to, to become POTUS.  I'm sickened.

At lunch, I see him loading a truck (in Ohio) with flats of water...well one flat, it was a Photo Op, afterall.  The reporters asked and asked him how he felt about FEMA and he just ignored them.  Just like he refuses to give any interviews to the press, as he can't control them possibly pointing out a discrepancy between his various positions, or even challenging one of his previous positions!  He certainly can't risk having them challenge him on the truth.

I knew GW Bush would be a horrible President, and he didn't let me down.  I think we knew he would take us to war, no matter what.  Honestly, I have no idea what Mitt Romney will do, but I guarantee you it won't be anything he will have told us and judged by his team of advisors, it will probably be another war.  This country can't take any more of this type of leadership.

Unfortuneately for Mitt, diasters do not respect state borders.

Still recall last years fires in Tx due to drought. Round about Fall there was a rain event and Governor Good Hair(aka Rick Perry) whined and cried that the Pres was refusing Texans disaster relief just to spite Perry. Of course millions was coming in for the fire events which were much more serious in terms of loss and damage and the Feds advised Perry that Texas was capable of managing the flood event on its own.



This from a guy who keeps saying he doesn't need Fed money......except when he does.

Does everyone here know who Laurie David is?  I think, probably so.  Other than formerly being married to Larry David, I believe she produced an "Incovenient Truth" with Al Gore.  Somewhere on BCO I saw a recipe and she was listed as a coauthor, and as a "friend of BCO."  I've since asked the Mods how she is affiliated with BCO, though I know she has an interest in cancer, but still not clear why, nor did I get an answer from the Mods.  I follow Laurie David on Twitter and one of her tweets led me to a David Sarven-Schreiber Youtube and his very inspiring story of brain cancer.  I'm still curious how she might be involved with BCO (Mods?)?  I may just try to Tweet her and ask.

Yes, interesting that others can pop in here with facts and links but we can't do the same. 

I was so tempted to post a link over there about Chris Christie

thanking President for his storm response, but I restrained myself. What's the point? They believe what they want to believe, and facts are irrelevant, even threatening.

Maybe Romney does have another plan on how to win other than by lying at the drop of the hat...

GG - So Tagg Romney owns an interest in voting machines in Hamilton County, Ohio.  In a totally different report, Chuck Todd goes over the various Ohio voting regions and says "it all comes down to Hamilton County."

I still remember the story of Kerry sitting in the bar with ? on election night 2004 and saying "they stole it, they stole it [Ohio]."

Chick-a-dee, welcome home and THANK YOU for bringing your gorgeous chocoporn with you.  Hope the cruise was wonderful.

Lewing - giggling at your expecting the "moderation" to be fair...tee, hee...must be a problem with phasers, thought I had all of them on ignore, creepy when one sneaks thru with that vicious fiction...deliberately destructive, where have we seen that b4? ( imagine jumping emoticons)

Welcome Athena, hope all is well in DC.

Hi

Checking in via phone. No power since last night at 7. Tree fell on garage. My DH is at the hospiyal with his mom she was running out of oxygen. We're otherwise ok but the area looks like a warzone. Won't be posting much. Trying to save cell. Can only recharge by plugging phone into the car. Word is no power for maybe a week. Hope they're wrong. It's getting chilly and i miss rachel maddow.

Hope everyone else is ok.

(((Alexandria))) - A huge hello. I hope the garage didn't sustain too much damage. Try to stay warm, and I'm sorry about DH's mother.

ETA: Waving at Suzieq and Sun.

No generator. Fireplace but only couple logs. I'm boiling water on the gas stove. It raises the temp a bit. Could be worse. At least i can cook. The house is dry and we're safe.



Heard Mittens phony storm relief program on my battery powered radio. What a joke. He made some comment about cleaning up a football field and comparing it to this. Idiot.

My FEMA coworkers are beginning to get calls to travel. I won't be going, scans and stuff this week.

Alexandria - how do you lite your gas burners?  I have a new gas stove but the burners are electrical ignition.  I don't assume I can just light a match to them, but maybe I can?  I've heard of people around here, without wood stoves, who light up all of their burners for heat in a power outage.  (Please don't use your power, though, unnecessarily to answer my question...maybe file it away for when you get your power back.)  We don't have natural gas here....just propane tanks.

Kam, please caution with propane burners used for heat. VERY dangerous should a flame go out while you may be sleeping. Carbon monoxide poisoning results and is a killer. If you must use this method make sure a window is open for clean air and to exhaust the carbon monoxide that may result.
