I once had a cat that had a challenge with Bachmans...He'd lick his junk all the time, and after a while, he'd end up convulsing and hacking up a Michele. Then he'd be fine.

I have a Twitter account now that I intend to use.

If anyone wants to follow or be followed, it's,

I'm starting to hunt down my anti-sexual violence activism contacts, as well as my crafting contacts. And I'm following C&L of course! ;)

... and I can tell you there are some very lovely and beautiful cactai out there. I don't think they deserve to be compared with Rush, after all a cactus can be the difference between life and death for a human in the desert... Rush is just a death sentence.

WASHINGTON – A bipartisan coalition in the House voted late Thursday to make it easier for corporations to engage in complex derivatives trades without government restrictions, eroding the reach of proposed regulations to govern Wall Street.

they apparently want to do it again and make sure it's completely destroyed the next time.

Will Houston Make Gay History?

Annise Parker could make Houston the largest American city ever to elect an openly gay mayor. But first she has to overcome a last-ditch effort by anti-gay activists to derail her campaign.

The money quote is the last few lines:

"Robert Stein, a professor of political science at Rice University, said race, gender, and sexual orientation likely will take a backseat in undecided Republican voters’ minds to pocketbook issues, especially given that Parker is already a well-known figure after 12 years in elected office.

Voters are “mostly worried about who will take care of their property taxes,” Stein said."

If this can happen in Texas the world is truly changing for the better.

I always said Texas is blamed for Bush but he really isn't a Texan. There are a bunch of good folks in the state.

nominated their first openly gay speaker, John Perez. Pretty cool, if you ask me.

Liberalicious's picture

that once we get enough openly gay people into office...we WILL make you all turn gay, right?

That's our agenda.

It goes with the shoes.

;)

Seriously, Annise is very cool....I worked with her original campaign back in the 80s. I wish her all the luck and votes.

Addendum: What's really crazy about the race, is that her oppenent is a Dem Black male. So the Rethugs are imploding over this vote.

Here is a long, but great report outlining the intricate role contractors have infiltrated the CIA and military. It also provides a fairly through overview describing the key players, profits, and plans for continued military campaigns of the US to control oil in the world.

Af-Pak War Racket: The Obama Illusion Comes Crashing Down
http://ampedstatus.com/af-pak-war-racket-the-...

Guess what? Military recruitment is at a record high!!! I am speechless.

“For the first time in more than 35 years, the U.S. military has met all of its annual recruiting goals, as hundreds of thousands of young people have enlisted despite the near-certainty that they will go to war.

The Pentagon… said the economic downturn and rising joblessness, as well as bonuses and other factors, had led more qualified youths to enlist. The military has not seen such across-the-board successes since the all-volunteer force was established.…

‘We delivered beyond anything the framers of the all-volunteer force would have anticipated,’ Bill Carr, deputy undersecretary of defense for military personnel policy, said at a Pentagon news conference.

Overall, the Defense Department brought in 168,900 active-duty troops, or 103 percent of the goal for the fiscal year….”

What I heard was that the "public option" was public in name only, that in the Senate, it was gutted. So, it was only fitting that they jettisoned it altogether, to eliminate the charade.

I'm a "member" in my "non-profit" credit union, and I haven't heard of any annual meeting or any other mechanism where the management of the non-profit can be removed and replaced.

Study the Federal Law and the credit unions' bylaws.

That would be the place to start to 'hear' about such things.

Alice X - Chomsky Nader's picture

It was a charade from day one.

I will not be one to say I told anyone so.

The master snake oil salesman said during the primaries that he would fight when the FISA vote came up.

There was much left to be desired in his other positions, in my view, but he said he would fight on that, it was critical to me and I gave him the benefit of the doubt.

When it came to fight he didn't fight. I was immediately off the snake oil express.

The Chinese have many sayings: fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

That says everything I need to say about it.

I felt the same about Bill Clinton only it took him getting elected and then the first thing, ramming NAFTA through for it to sink in.

Cali has more H1N1 vaccines, if ya need 'em. The NYT is dreaming of an ethnocentric X-mas. Oz meets a giant iceberg. Speaking of Oz, it's on fire again, no thanks to global warming. Black lawmakers want Obama to deal with the community's issues. No money for Pell Grants, due to the suckonomy. Cali schools crumble against homophobes and cease policies which would help defend gay students from bullying. A loophole in the Senate bill lets insurers drop "unreasonable" coverage. The Senate Dems are also eager to bend over to Repugs on climate change legislation. Anyone want PCBs in your snow? Americans aren't buying the "recovery".

I may have solved the mystery. From Wikipedia:

"Fuzzballs are theorized by some superstring theory scientists to be the true quantum description of black holes. The theory resolves two intractable problems that classic black holes pose for modern physics:

1. The information paradox wherein the quantum information bound in in‑falling matter and energy entirely disappears into a singularity; that is, the black hole would undergo zero physical change in its composition regardless of the nature of what fell into it.
2. The singularity at the heart of the black hole, where conventional black hole theory says there is infinite spacetime curvature due to an infinitely intense gravitational field from a region of zero volume. Modern physics breaks down when such parameters are infinite and zero."

I am gross and perverted
Im obsessed n deranged
I have existed for years
But very little had changed
I am the tool of the government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you

I may be vile and pernicious
But you can't look away
I make you think Im delicious
With the stuff that I say
I am the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I am the slime oozin out
From your tv set

You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don't need you
Don't got for help...no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold

That's right, folks..
Don't touch that dial

Well, I am the slime from your video
Oozin along on your livinroom floor

I am the slime from your video
Cant stop the slime, people, lookit me go
