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

I had read about the phones ( very curious at the first mention ) some time ago, but glad for the refresher.  It is quite troublesome when people don't want to know the REAL truth of something.  I mean what part of "this IS you LIFE" don't you understand or apparently want to.  Uninformed, it can be temporary, but ignorance could go on forever.  I think that is the brainwashing part at its finest.  I just don't have the stamina it would take to turn myself that far off. 

Did I mention....you people here are the greatest.

Finally got a chance to watch the video - glad I had my contact lenses off. Too beautiful.

America had begun to die a slow death with the Reagan Revolution. In 2008 that slow decline was halted and today we are better than ever in so many ways. We really are heading towards a more perfect union. We are so lucky to have such a leader.

RR, I have heard that Obama plans to make election reform a top priority, so there are no more 4+ hour waits to vote. Bout time!

Absolutely!

Chickadee, I saw some of that in the history at the link I put earlier but I didn't want to post everything here because there was just so much info.  

Pip, I used to be entertained by Rush years ago. It was before Bush was elected, though. After that, I lost my sense of humor because I realized that people were really believing that crap.

I saw the President's talk to his staffers on the Ed Show last night and cried myself. What a good and decent human being!



You know, just look at the backgrounds of the men on the Republican and Democratic ticket (I DO NOT use "Democrat" in that context -- that was an ignorant invention of Dumbya and his thugs to insult the DemocratIC party). The Democratic ticket was composed of men who came from modest meanst -- the President raised by a single mother and his grandparents, who received scholarships and student loans to get a good education, who chose a life of public service instead of a big-earning lawyer's job with his Harvard law degree. The Vice President a boy from Scranton, a blue-collar worker's son, got himself an education and worked for everything he has. His net worth is shockingly low for someone is his position -- my net worth is higher than his!



On the other side, you have two men born to privilege, who have never struggled a day in their lives. No student loans, no college bills, no working in fast food restaurants to make money. Cars, privilege, money. Robme's father was a GOVERNOR and a car company executive. Ryan's father and his family own a multi-million dollar construction company. And oh, by the way, Bain Capital never actually MADE anything. They just bought companies other people made and took them apart for the money. You know, kind of like a junkyard owner who buys old cars and then parts them out. Scavenger. Like a vulture. Carrion-eater. Robme didn't start a company to create jobs -- he got together with some of his rich buddies and formed a pool of guys who would cruise the business world looking for deals. That's not creating jobs. Robme's whole "we built that" horsecrap? He actually didn't build anything.



And I'm not visiting the asylum either. There is enough crazy to read on FB for me!



And I.love.my.president.



Ok, gotta run help DH put in a new range hood vent through the roof. It is a vacation day -- so we must be working! :-)

P.S. and as far as the delusional denizens of Otherworld saying they are going to quit their jobs and live on "free stuff" from the government? DH says, "Good luck with that! Let us know how that went when you are hungry, ill-housed, ill-clothed and scavenging in dumpsters for food. We'll drive by and wave."

A friend of mine posted something over at DK that really hits home with me, 'Hi, right wing? It's the left. We need to talk.'  I'm going to pull a paragraph out here but the whole thing is worth a read (link below).

"And believe me, even though this goes directly against the interests of my party (and god only knows I would love for you to stay in your bubble, the republican party will be a regional party by 2016. Nothing but good news for us), I want you to rejoin reality. Not because it would help dems, but because it would help our country. See, this country depends on a debate that was supposed to be eternally waged by the political left and the political right. Our country is HEALTHY when this debate, centered around facts and reality, continues. This country is at its most successful with both sides can sit down together, look at the same facts and figures, and come to different conclusions. This country is not healthy when one side sits down at the table with the facts and figures and the other comes to the table with a print out of talking points from the Heritage Foundation and so much anger it borders on rabies. That is not how our country works."

OMG a pug baby.  My favorite fur baby.  Indulge me, this is my Snickers when we first got him:

I want a puppy!! Can I have a Muslim Puppy, pretty please?  Ok, I'm being silly, but the silly season is still with us, apparently. I think it might be a permanent affliction.

I think puppies are non denominational! 

Hmmmmmmm.....LOL. I want that little black pug so I can have my own little diverse pug world. I have fawn (white) and cinnamon (red) so I need to cuddle a little black one.



Religious affiliation unimportant. Pug=Love.

Sunflowers, I don't know if you're the one that posted The Guardian piece about Obama and Elie Weisel writing a book together but I did read the link and passed it on to others.

RiverRat - obviously some people over there are not very educated about the world:
