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

How interesting that after all that has gone on with this so recently passed election that people are still hanging on to every word from that idiot news source.  I keep hoping they will care about themselves enough  to "get it".  So many people are wising up about politics and what is good, bad and ugly about it, but those who watch the farce news are stuck in the strange time warp without a prayer.  That unfortunately seems to be right where the news source wants them.  No need to repeat....building on fantasy (lies ) costs an awful lot.....sometimes it costs a Presidency.

But, but, but, the righties would have to accept, GASP, national health care! NOOOOOOOO!!!

Because...OBAMA.

kad2kar - they didn't create jobs because there was NO DEMAND for whatever they were supplying.  This is the fallacy of "trickle-down."  It assumes jobs are created in a vacuum and is only a function of the job creators having money in their pockets.  How silly is that?  If a rich guy had a market and needed workers to meet market demands, he or she is going to hire workers.  Likewise, he/she is not going to hire workers to make a product that no one buys. 

Under the higher Clinton tax rates, no problems creating jobs because demand was high.

Cheryl  - I believe those marks underneath the English names are actually the Inuit translation.  Oh my, I guess all those wannabe immigrants are going to have to learn 2 new languages -- French and Inuit!  I expect they'll all choose Australia instead.  Our polar bears are safe!

Lindasa, I love that picture! Just so sweet.

'Morning everyone - The Petraeus/Allen "scandal" is a true soap opera.

I still want to know where the crime is.

If all of the WWII generals were held to these standards, the US would have no heroes.

If there is a crime, then I want to see it. Otherwise, this overuse of the "national security" mantra with no evidence has got to stop. I neer had much respect for the CIA - half of its directors have left in disgrace for real violations and as an intelligence agency it is more of an embarrassment that anything else to the US. This is not a real violation until we hear otherwise. What a distraction for the country right now. We have important things to focus on, like the economy, which really DOES hurt national security.

America needs to grow up and stop letting social issues hijack the national agenda.

Yey for a proper cold day today!

Athena, of the unpopular views. :-)

WOW Lassie. That's so wrong on so many levels.



In a separate category, though just as wrong - someone started a petition on whitehouse.gov to strip secessionists' citizenship and exile them. If we could exile them to Texas and then put up a wall, I'd be all for it. Maybe I should start a petition for THAT.



Athena - I agree with you re the absence of a crime so far BUT I agree with the investigation.

Are we sure there hasn't been a security breach? If not, I'd say there's a need for the investigation.

I'm shaking my head yes with Athena and all these investigations.  Now with another general involved.  Enough is enough.  Also read the piece about those wishing to succeed.  Also with the supposed fraud in Ohio which many want to lay at the feet of Dems.  Really....why????  It was a whole lot of hard work, but no one NEEDED to commit fraud to win.  It sounds like there are a number of Repugs trying to grasp the changes they are going to have to make if they wish to get close to being viable.  West and others need to stand down and let those with mentality try to do something positive. 

Oh welll, just some of my ramblings --- but it and entertainment news is just as tiresone as ever. Un-reality can be a harsh master.

Hey lots of us Texans don't want them either. Maybe the US owns a uninhabited barrier island they could dump them on.

Good morning,

Blue - LOVE LOVE LOVE the post about Michael J. Fox.  After he spoke about his PD, can't remember the interviewer, it was on TV, she sort of gave him a question leading to an "I'm a victim" answer - and he turned it around - beautifully, and said something positive, paraphrased, that he felt like God had him in His pocket. I still remember his smile, and COURAGE, COURAGE, COURAGE.  What a wonderful human being.

Ok.  I've bookmarked Crooks&Liars.  I suggest that all these guys be set up with a date with Lorenna Bobbitt. As for the women, well, let the fame, notoriety (sp?) they all seek come to them, and maybe, just maybe, we can do something about a culture that seems to be increasingly like "reality TV" which I've never watched, so I don't really know what I'm talking about - except I am SICK of it all.  What happened to privacy, discretion, & I don't blame Oprah, she was just one of the first to profit from it.  Bleah....

KAM  THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

I really appreciate that graphic - like the first time we saw a map of the world in it's REAL perspective -
