Lamont Running For Governor Rather Than Re-Challenge Lieberman
Commented Nov 05, 2009 at 07:59:49 in Politics
“Lamont may have a brand name at this point, but all he has is recognition and $$$. There are better Dem candidates already running. I'm impressed by Rudy Marconi, from Ridgefield.”

“I'm to hear that there will be some Democrats willing to take Lieberman on. I didn't know if the Democratic Party would take him on.”

“No, Wilson is just an angry, rude little man. Outrage against him is understandable but misplaced. It is better directed against his political and corporate masters who are throwing all they have against healthcare reform—and have the power to win, if we are not careful.”

Obama Back To School Speech: FULL TEXT
Commented Sep 07, 2009 at 18:00:17 in Politics
“When news of Obama's speech stirred up a controversy, the president hurriedly rewrote to be uncontroversial. But Obama's ORIGINAL speech has now been discovered. Here are some excerpts:
"Good morning and welcome back to your government-funded school for the 2009 year, 191 years after the birth of Karl Marx. . . . "
"So if your mother packed you two cookies and your friend Timmy had no cookies, would you give him one of your cookies? I know I would--and I expect you would, too. . . ."
"And I want you to study hard and go to school, especially all you brothers and sisters, so you can throw off the stranglehold of the oppressor. . . ."
"And always eat a good breakfast. II hope you stay healthy, especially those of you without health insurance . . . ."
"It time for me to go, because it's one of the five times daily we must pray. So God bless you . . . and God Dam- America."”

“Obama just increased funding for the charter school movement which aims to PRIVATIZE schools and make then generate private wealth. How is that "socialized"? He is not increasing funding for public schools unless the teachers' unions acquiesce to competition from privatized entities. Today's LA Times has an editorial pushing for more charter schools despite the fact they are no better than well funded public schools and are often worse. Read it.
Private does not equal government run socialized.”

“That GOP Florida guy was on CNN (he's been everywhere) with his newest mantra: Obama rewrote the speech because we outted him!
When asked if he had any evidence of it, his only reply was that the pre-speech "lesson plans" were
calling for students to "help the President"......
Of course, this being CNN, there was no follow-up question such as, "help the President to do what?"”

“It all depends on whether the security owners are "too big to fail."
If the security owners fail to make premium payments to my insurance company, they get a nasty surprise. The insurance company voids the contract for failure to perform; there may or may not a cash out payment.
What type of morality would allow a person to invest in (early) death as a commodity? Reminds me of Mark Twain's "Letter to the Earth" to Abner Scofield, Coal Dealer, Buffalo, NY. Abner prays for a bitter winter that hike the price of coal. The owners of the securities will be praying for a bitter winter and no coal.
Wonder what next from American capitalists?”

“That means they will kill you. And, of course, it will be "outsourced" by Wall Street. This will be a new revenue stream for Blackwater and the new "frat boy" security companies now in the news like AmourGroup and Wack-en-hut "Services" Inc. Just guys having fun in lipstick! Nobody could be making this stuff up. American Embassies used to be guarded by the USMC. Times have changed. So along with endless MIC corporate lobbied wars, these frat boy contractors can be recycled to terminate those who default on their life insurance payments. It is all nice and tidy. We are now living in an Orwellian Totalitarian Corporatist State. It has now all come to pass.

“I have had two pretty serious bicycle crashes. In one the helmet prevented a concussion. In the other it saved my life. I would be dead. Here are some statistics:
in 2007, there were 698 cycling fatalities. About 90% involved autos. Those without helmets are 14 times more likely to be involved in a fatal crash. And that's just fatalities. Traumatic brain injury anyone? More than half could be prevented by a helmet.
Direct costs of injuries due to riders not wearing helmets is $81 million/year. Indirect costs are over $2 billion.
And don't even get me started on helmet-less motorcyclists. A trauma physician friend has a name for them: organ donors.
Helmets are like seatbelts. No one likes to wear them. But they save lives without causing too much restriction, and Obama should use his example-setting powers to wear one.”
