“Fanned. It seems to me that the Hatriot critics actually have nothing to complain about so now they must split inane hairs.”

“Don't forget that Laura Bush spent almost half a million ($493,000) on china right before she left the White House and we were already going down the tubes of the recession. Where's your outrage over that? Who eats on that kind of china?”

“Republicans should definitely follow this strategy. Please.”

“Get it right if you are coming with numbers: Quinnipiac Poll: Only 36% approve of # HCR bill as is; 56% want public option; 64% want Medicare for all”

“RT " It's mathematically absurd to insist that #Democrats are moving too fast on a universal health care initiative that's been debated for 50 years but too slow on a 2-month-old plan for an #Afghanistan escalation." -- David Sirota
What he said. #whywouldyou

List of 2009 Accomplishments by the Republicans in Congress:
-- Refusal to read the very bills they are refusing to support
-- Consistently obstructing the governmental process by holding appointments hostage in Congress
-- Consistently rumor mongering and instigation of fear based lies
-- Contributing nothing to the process of generating ideas to resolve extreme economic problems
-- Working more for the benefit of the lobbyists, ergo, the corporations funding the lobbyist than the people they represent.
-- Consistently, brazenly putting the Republican party before the people they represent.
-- Generally behaving like spoiled brats and bullies who lost the ball game and are in a prolonged temper tantrum until some one finally gives in to shut them up.

This is what you want in Congress in 2010? Or perhaps...a removal of the good ole boys club.The President cannot evoke change without Congress . Congress is where legislation is created. We need an Al #Franken mentality to vote for in 2010 and going forward. We need representation that is genuinely for the people of this country not for partisan schoolyard games by a bunch of good ole' boys. Looking for quality of character, not party affiliation”

“Anyone have a list of all of the appointments being held up by the obstructionists a.k.a. #Republican good ole' boys of Congress and which ones are keeping our country on hold while they play schoolyard politics? #whywouldyou continue to do this and call yourselves patriotic?”

“Earlier today I was going to post a request to Jasper to NOT write a book but thought it to be poor taste. This evening I understand that he wants to be paid for telling his story. So much for poor taste; I guess the 15 minutes syndrome is a global thing, not just a US thing.”

“Hah! I started to post a comment asking Jasper to please not write a book about his heroism, but thought it was in poor taste. Didn't think tasteless exploitation was a global thing, just a US thing.”

“And she left that town $22 million in debt.”

“My question: Why, if someone is voted in under the premise and ideology of one party, can make the switch to another party and yet does not automatically lose the office s/he was voted into? These people make their decisions to switch parties for their own person gain when they got the job based upon the theory that they represent the voice of the people?”

“Wasn't straw one of the materials used to make bricks for the pyramids? Look how long they've lasted. Something to be said for going back to basics. I love #green.”

“OK, you'll have to forgive me then: I don't get it, although I did an extensive interview of an ex-Catholic for my first book. If the Catholic schools -- the ed arm of the #Catholic church -- teaches that the #Bible is a "book of fables and the notion of evolution is real -- what does the church believe in, that the pope is god? Confusing. Do remember though, that verse in the Bible that says "In vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrine the commandments of men."”

“So if this theory holds true, then Madoff also scammed you as well, since he scammed entertainers and actors whose movies you may have watched, right?
You are delusional. Tiger Woods won tournaments, they paid him for the tournaments he won. His sponsors paid him for the right to put his face, his name on their products, hoping for a return on the investments of an increase in product sales. You have a choice as to what you buy, but you don't buy it from him, you buy it from the store that purchased the goods you bought. You bought what you bought because it was something you needed or wanted. 91% of consumers polled said that Woods' endorsement made no difference in whether they bought or not. (NBC) It is a lonngg stretch by far, to think that somehow what he has earned has ANYTHING to do with you. So what is it you're really angry about?”

“Yep. That 15 minutes, exacerbated by non-reality reality shows, is what everyone is after nowadays. Has it not occurred to people that anyone can say they slept with Woods, and it's on the Today show. Tiger Woods is saying nothing. So all the nonsense is heresay. Further, the other PGA is a bunch of groupies following ALL the golfers. Get a clue.”

“I ask, smh, why in the world do you care? It's not your money, not your life, what Woods does or doesn't do has no impact on your tomorrow unless you are his caddy.”

“Who did Woods scam? Coward because...? Tiger owes the public a good game of golf when he plays. Period. He owes you nothing at all. His money and life, his business. So what is it you are really so angry about? Or is it just your bed linen showing?”

“So you -- knowing nothing more than the gossip and speculation provided by the media -- would wish this on the rest of the pro golf players as well? Or just Tiger Woods?”

“He is a patriot, you however, obviously are a part of the Hatriot crowd.”

“Comfy armchair for quarterbacking? Their money, their vacation, their business. Not yours.”

“Selective memory? The President told you from the outset that it would get worse before it gets better. Do you remember who created the problem? But my guess is that this isn't what you are really so bitter about.”

“Seriously doubt that the dog has spent a moment feeling sorry for itself. Dogs are not human by the way, in case you forgot. Many do not consider them as more than a pet.”

“The power of the blog: They changed the story based upon our comments apparently.

BTW, are there other genres that you photograph?”

“Translation: We want things like they were when we could do anything we wanted and no one paid any attention. News flash, if people will stay focused, those days are over. I will be looking for an Al #Franken mentality to vote for in 2010 and going forward. We need representation that is genuinely for the people of this country not for partisan schoolyard games by a bunch of good ole'boys. Looking for quality of character, not party affiliation.”

“I saw that you are a photographer -- fine art, commercial or both? I will try to keep you in mind when I curate a photography show. OK folks, am aware this has nothing to do with the article, just talk among yourselves...”
