“No one listened to the last woman to ring an alarm bell and she was right. LISTEN TO THIS ONE.
HuffPo, get this woman to write what we should do. She's described the situation from the inside. Now, ask her to tell us the best and most effective way to get these DC pigs to wake up and make the changes.”

“We Americans during George Bush II started this with banning activists coming to this country, and arresting people for protesting Bush. THAT is what the USA has wrought worldwide. So dont get on any high horses about how Canada is following the American way.”

“That photo sums it up very well.
There's a reason 1400 Palestinians perished in the Gaza attack and only 13 Israelis.
But, somehow we are supposed to believe the Israelis - who have created a gh3tto in Gaza - are the victims.”

Obama, China, and Wishful Thinking About American Jobs
Commented Nov 18, 2009 at 01:54:42 in Politics
“A correction is in order here: the bailout was Bush's. The stimulus package was Obama's. You better believe we want those 12 million illegals paying taxes. Amnesty can't come fast enough. And in case you dont know, it was the great immigrant surges in 20th C history that produced the greatest innovation here in America. Your lack of education about this is clouding your judgment and your rational thought. And we need to cut giving our white collar jobs, and our technology, to other countries.”

“China has set a deadline of 2050 to come to grips with some of this, and an Indian NGO official said that polluting energy in India is part of poor people's survival; he called our interest here a lifestyle issue.

Birdies For Breast Cancer: Golfing Towards A Cure
Commented Oct 25, 2009 at 11:54:18 in Impact
“If you're serious about curing breast cancer, then you better do your part to have medical researchwith non-synthetic marijuana allowed again. President Ford outlawed it after the 1974 NIH University of Virginia study proved that marijuana is one of our greatest anti-tumor drugs ever. Ford thought the NIH study he ordered would help him bury the hippies. It didn't. So Ford outlawed the use of THC is any medical research, and removed the NIH study from all public and private medical libraries, public and private research hospitals, and the US public library system. Only one copy remains, and it's at the U of C, Davis campus. Reagan continued the ban.
Only synthetic marijuana is allowable in US medical research. But synthetic doesn't work. Google: The Greatest Story Never Told Counterpunch 2008
then Google: Alternet President Ford Marijuana NIH. Then, add Dr. Manuel Guzman to the last search string.”

“I noticed those same things, Mr. Bromwich.
I would like to know which military contracts go down the toilet if we get out of Afghanistan, where we use 800,000 gals of gas/day at a fully-burdened cost of $400/gal – that's some effing carbon footprint. And which friendly countries are part of that military contracting business?”

“The NTT has always been a bully stealth cheer leader for the Bush wars, and now seems to carry over its enthusiasm for the Obama war. The top journalists for the Times were a full throated chorus behind the invasion of Iraq, that will go down among historians as the greatest foreign policy debacle of the US. Now its Afghanistan, a war that some 65% of Americans oppose. We need to stop squandering our youth and fortune on this bloody disaster.”

“It's about the military contracts and about the oil pipelines. Mostly the contracts, however... which are often no-bid, poorly drafted, and VERY VERY PROFITABLE$$.”
Balanced Life -- 7 Tips If You're Chronically Late
Commented Oct 19, 2009 at 16:08:46 in Living
““7. Your co-workers won't end meetings on time?“
Get up and walk out. The next person you're supposed to meet on time shouldn't be punished for others' tardiness or disorganization.
The head of the NYS Council on the Arts did that, without rancor, without anger. Every group had 30 minutes to meet him. If the current group was late or didn't get to the point, it was not his problem. He simply stood at the end of the half hour, thanked the people in the room, and left for his next appointment. If you use this highly effective method, it is up to you not to get rankled or angry or nasty, or become an excuse machine about why you're acting this way. Rocks are hard, water's wet, and you're on the clock. C'est tout. People get the hint REALLY quickly.”

“You're right - we shouldn't be spending a lot of time on the Rangel situation.
That is why he needs to resign. Keeping him as Ways and Means Committee Chairman is just nuts. We have to get him out of there.
Sooner or later, he'll need to be put on trial and punished for his misdeeds. But we have bigger fish to fry right now. So he waits.
But we still have to enforce the law for EVERYONE.”
