“Who here was against the Iraq/Afghan wars - both - from day one?”

“Beauty without hype.

“Right on, Sister.”

“I don't view the core debate as pro or anti Obama but rather what is best for the country and world peace. Or, what is bad for Halliburton and Blackwater.”

“You don't live in Iowa, huh.”

“And it is not even wars like in the old days (not that I'm for that).

This is pork for Halliburton, big oil, Blackwater, on and on.

Enough!”

“World gone mad.

I wonder if this cost includes a lifetime of toxic syke mehds.”

“I think she's coming to our one horse Iowa town soon.”

“I do understand these steps are seen by some huge victories as a thawing of the stranglehold held on this country. I am opposed to this bill however because it is a huge insurance company giveaway. Also, it has many bad provisions. We must never forget: Our Congress overall has sold us out and continues to do so everyday and the only people I (barely) trust are Kucinich, Sanders, Weiner, and a hand full of others. I do not believe this is a first good step, I do not believe messy is better than nothing (see Moyers) HOWEVER I have decided that to melt the stranglehold and begin the thawing might be a good thing.

I am progressive. The worst thing about this bill is that millions of working uninsured need-healt­h-care-yes­terday middle class Americans will pay the penalty because we are too broke already from old medical bills and interest rates. We ride the bus and can barely meet the mortgage.

There are millions like us. One day we will rise up out of the stupor. NEVER EVER FORGET how big the insurance companies and big farma are participating in this terrible bill. But again, I agree, it is good to start the THAW. I know mixed feelings are unpopular here as contrary to the CUTE DIVISIVENESS but you know what you can eat my rotten eggs.”

“DVH, great post re infrastructure.”

“"How did they do it during the depression?"

We had a train system that worked!

Well, way better than today!

Later.”

“See you later. I've just had 3 TVA/WPA posts skrubbed.”

“I mostly agree with the consume less only one works concept, but the truth is that many of us out here ARE ALREADY riding the bus and eating rice and beans and need 4 jobs just to pay old medical bills. Your comments reflect how very wealthy you really are, compared to most of the world. Take off the blinders, chica!”

“In California, which I have happily left to live in sensible Iowa, needed teachers are laid off under Arnie's insane govt while $85K per year do nothings in admin sit around taking two hour lunches. Trim the fat!”

“Demand that your government ramp up projects now! Call and tell your reps!

Last night we watched some amazing footage of people hired for the TVA and the WPA and how it brought huge employment projects where really skilled hard working people then trained other eager locals in many needed skills.

We don't want a handout!

We want WPA type projects in wind energy, green tech, education, arts!

Now!

Take some of that fat away from CEOs vacationing on the Isle of Ischia and start TVA-2!

“Why do you keep posting the same thing?”

“Happy hypnogogic fantasies.”

“To me it's a Zelig thing. Who cares if he got it just right? He's being socially cooperative - what a concept!”

“You seem well meaning but your examples are askew. People in other countries are often much better at offering a seat than in the U.S.! Second, wasn't J really talking about separating secular and spiritual life? It was also a bit of a Gandhi moment you know don't protest this, protest that. I'm not sure the Cesar coin thing is rally "protocol"!

“I worked with the Suomi People in the Arctic. All I can say sparky is when you are in a different culture your darn well better learn their habits, whether it is bowing or twirling reindeer meat over your head.”

“monic angel --- "Creo que ha habido bastantes artículos fijados en este sitio con respecto le para durar un rato de la vida o más de largo. ¿Podría haber que mucha gente en este país que está interesada en ella?"

bb ---- El interés en Palin es ridículo, dogmático, mal informado, patético, sangriento, y fascista. Perdón.”

“That's really cool!

My first law firm job was at a Japanese law firm in L.A. We saw similar things. You make an excellent point.

Mornin'.”

“Bingo.”

“I don't know. Technically, yes. I've seen a few Japanese businessmen do this though - usually when there's a mix up and one offers his hand as the second is already going into Bowmodality?”

“Buenos dias. Nada mas por favor de Palinita.”
