Another nice (cool) day today before things turn to shit and go back to the 90’s tomorrow. To make matters worse, it’s Balloon Festival weekend, so no park for the pooches this weekend. Oh well, time to make the donuts.

Poor John.
“Go Johnny go?” More like “Go away Johnny, go away.”
Or “Go Johnny if you want to, as long as I get paid.”
Chuck rocks! And the article mentions Paul Weller too! BONUS!

:billcat: … Charmed and Angel on in background as I am not working so much now ….. I just have nothing to say… I was suppose to go to bed soon, but… but Angel is fighting demons and Charmed will “bewitching” very soon and sweet “monsters” (aka = furry wee dear pals) must be fed … and so on … :fustrate: they say Romeo & Juliet was written in a day (& night) :hubba: . :doh:
The 3rd baby hawk has not fledged as far as I know. Lincoln has pictures, of course, and information about the capture of the second little hawk.

A Preliminary Analysis of the 2008 Presidential Candidates’ Tax Plans (from the Tax Policy Center – a joint venture of the Urban Institute and Brookings Institution, and “made up of nationally recognized experts in tax, budget, and social policy who have served at the highest levels of government”).
Full report [pdf]
One Makes Ones’s Bed …
we could have had, when down to the two, both as Prez and then to be Prez
now one has let the youth vote for a pissy, selfish Leo … which alienated 1/2 of the voting party — and to do a power play on the older Leo …cutting the woman off completely — and that was just a stupid “game”, which I am no longer a part of…
I “saw” when I was a young teen that we need a BALANCE and fairness to ALL AGES… I even “spoke” to peers about how we need to all join together — not this age crap…
Even as one within so many different types of eco “organizations”
… I understood ultimately the IMPORTANCE to a level of compromise …
if the bar was set high enough. Now this stupid vote divided us, The DEMS, thus, well ya know rest…
I do not want her to be “under HIS thumb” ever , so I hope she does not go for an Office … and she will not run for president again, unless maybe now a VP…
* the media and a dream of dream destroyed her and others chances …
* and most fell for the crap
* I no longer need to make calls, go to businesses, whatever else
* I no longer will have huge signs on lawn or on car or go to protests
— Now my only hope for the future are “certain actions” — not the voting masses … I am FINALLY DONE!
Oh, BTW I know Youth NOT for Obama and elderly friends NOT for Obama and many ( throughout this nation) my age or younger NOT for Obama … but this is what 1/2 the DEMS wanted … I have to focus on work now … which I need for me, any way… so 8) :doh: :billcat:
Sorry, but the primary is over. Edwards lost. Richardson lost. Biden lost. Gravel lost. Kucinich lost. Clinton lost.
Obama won. It was close, but he won. That’s just how it goes. Bad mouthing Obama will do nothing to change that. At best, it’s just wasted energy.
Clinton had it all going in. The name, the money, the machine. The press had all but crowned her the nominee. Sadly, she ran a crap campaign, and she fell behind, then took some bad advice from the people around her. Even so, it was still a close race.
I understand that there are people who feel it was Clinton’s turn and Obama stole it. She had the seniority and should have gotten the promotion, but once again the ‘man’ got promoted over the woman. I disagree with that, but I understand that some people feel that way.
But, as Jill over at B at B put it in this post:
Today we got to visit the vet with Clifford the cat and Minnie the dog because, as mom always said, when it rains it pours.
First Clifford managed to get another hairball. This necessitated more Petramalt for him and he seems to be on the mend. Petramalt is essentially vaseline with cat enticing flavoring. Turns out it also has dog enticing favoring. In fact, Minnie liked it so much she ate it, tube and all.
Fortunately, Minnie seems to be fine. Clifford, with a second bout of not eating has lost weight and is now on a get fat diet. Neither is complaining.
:billcat:
Nobody stole anything. He won, she lost.
The Presidency is not the entitlement of anyone. If a lot of folks want to enjoy sour grapes and fook themselves and the rest of us and the world it will be tragic.
McCain doesn’t know how to work one of those computer thingies.
I will no longer waste my time on this unfairness … You nor he (obama) do not “get some of it”.
This is not a revenge issue, hurt issue, feminist issue, nor a whatever issue … don’t be so droll…nor B. at B. whom also stated DEPRESSED over this … I am perhaps sad at the pedestrian manner THE DEMS Voted ….
get it correct … I have just begun to fight … I just no longer believe The DEMS were the “truly good “ACTION folks” — I was wrong.
Now I fight in a different manner. I will let my previous “voting stand”, stand.
EXcept, now I am piss’d that B at B insulted women so … saying that shit about women … depressed, hurt, angry …maybe on KOS and similar and conservative to libral MEDIA said the EXACT same thing and is where it is said women are feeling that way, AND ON MEDIA that is EXACTLY THEIR JARGON 🙄 again “hook, line, & sinker” …
… my 30 yr old friend and even her other friends will be rather insulted by those statements, also my 90 + year old friend and her friend, and also my many friends in “certain womens groups will be interested” … hmmm 🙄
Whatever. I do not know where the “bloody” trauma is? I said I would keep my own council. I will no longer be playing in the “reindeer” games here. I’m a Busy :bee: … so keep on keeping on talking about Obama.
Yes, perhaps some women and men might be feeling down, but most I heard from are piss’d into doing NEW ACTIONS, just no longer believing in the “splitting” DEMS. THe DEMS finally lost me … after decades.
Mom, dad, and the kids.
Foreign terrorism suspects held at the Guantánamo Bay naval base in Cuba have constitutional rights to challenge their detention there in United States courts, the Supreme Court ruled, 5 to 4, on Thursday in a historic decision on the balance between personal liberties and national security.
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/13/washington/12cnd-gitmo.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin
That 5 to 4 part is the reason I will support and vote for Obama.No matter what else he does, he will appoint at last 2 judges and those appointments will be the difference between a right leaning court and at least a center left court.
I fear that the planet, women, workers, wildlife, civil rights ….(we could all add to this list) will all be harmed if the rightwing prevails in the court.
The turtles look like a ballet company in a scene from Swan Lake.
Well, shit, I’m disappointed in 99% of the Democrats who voted for either Obama OR Clinton instead of Kucinich or Edwards. Except I voted for Clinton, but that’s besides the point. Hell, I’m still disappointed that the dumb bastards nominated John Kerry in 2004, fer chrissakes.
Clinton is still no different from Obama, though. Except Obama is younger and he’s a guy. Oh, and he’s got a tan. And big ears. And he’s a Muslim terraist that does the terraist hand bump with his baby mama wife, Angela Davis, and he claims to be Hawaiian, but he’s really from Mombasa and I think he sold yellowcake uranium to Saddam (middle name’s Hussein, doncha know).
now there are two choices … Gore or Clinton for VP …
…but this also bores me …
Black is not the issue ever … I got several horrid beatings because I was dating a dear young man (then)…and many more real stories 🙄
The rest I do not even think of to think of 🙄
The ‘splitting’ dems? So, if Clinton had gotten a couple hundred more delegates, would she be splitting the dems? Or it would be OK to have her split the dems? Or just that anybody who didn’t vote for Clinton is really stooopid, and shouldn’t have been allowed to vote?
Gore doesn’t want to be VP (I wouldn’t think he would, anyway; once is probably enough). I wouldn’t think Clinton would, either. It’s a nothing job. Ceremonial at best, unless the prez gets knocked off, of course.
Well, unless the prez is a moron like Bush, and you get to be the real power, like Cheney.
This is McSame’s reaction to the court decision:
“These are unlawful combatants, they’re not American citizens, and I think that we should pay attention to Justice Roberts’s opinion in this decision,†Mr. McCain said. “But it is a decision the Supreme Court had made, and now we need to move forward.”
Does that mean something or is he just trying to put some loaded words together and say something soothing to the wingnuts?
I answered more in #18, but came back to many more entries…
If Clinton would have won, she already had said she would have Obama as VP … and Hill said that very likely would have Obama, as VP back in March.
… The Dream Ticket … This would have been the best scenario … she had The Generals … but there is so much more…
But Obama-ites only thought for the “game” in front of them …
I can understand: Brute force compared to “finesse” – Kung Fu compared to Tai Chi”. This is the Time of Aquarius – there is a bad side to the good side – checkers compared to chess – passion compared strategy
He will win … if his followers, old and young, get out and work for him.
His followers will keep him in check – hopefully they will balance each other…
I keep hearing about CLEAN COAL and CLEAN NUCLEAR POWER.
I will keep my own council. 8)
The Snake did come out and say that He is for Sen Clinton first, Gore could get much done Energy wise especially and that he Carvelle (sp) would also be for Gore. That is the reason I suggested him as VP. There are rumours.
“Camille Paglia from Salon stokes the fire…
Hillary’s desperate end-game gambit to turn the whole election into a referendum on gender does feminism a serious disservice. It wasn’t sexism that cost Hillary the nomination: It was her own misjudgments and mismanagement of a campaign that had the massive support of the nationwide party establishment, constructed by her husband — to whom she owes her entire career, which has thus far been dismayingly free of any significant, concrete achievement….
What kind of feminism is this — all smiley show and no substance? Hillary’s latest pose as tribune of the people is contradicted by her snobbish history of catering to the rich and famous as well as her indifference to the legions of small vendors whom her extravagant campaign has stiffed. And no true feminist would tolerate or enable that decades-long pattern of brazen philandering and crude sexual harassment that will forever brand the Clinton chronicles. When will our paleo-feminist dead-enders wake up to the psychological reality that compulsive seducers are misogynists?
…..here’s another whopping female advantage: Hillary could jet around the country with an elaborate, color-keyed wardrobe and a professional hair and makeup crew, who plastered and insta-lifted her with dewy salon uber-ointments and cutting-edge technology before every appearance. No male candidate has ever had that theatrical privilege. (John Edwards, in contrast, was heaped with scorn for his simple yet pricey haircuts.) When the mega-prep for some reason failed — as on a frigid morning in Iowa — the resultant photo of Hillary in realistically wrinkled 60-year-old mode caused repercussions around the world. Golda Meir, with her robustly lived-in face and matriarchal jowls, would have given ever-primping Hollywood Hillary a derisive Bronx cheer….”
What Will Be, Will Be…
I thought Clifford was a big red dog.
Poor, poor pitiful me…
Any ticket with Hillary Clinton on it would be more of a nightmare. She threw the Democratic Party under the bus for her own gain. That is soooo Republican….

It is time to stand up for a new kind of politics and combat the dirty smears and baseless attacks.
As we move toward November, those who seek to use fear and lies to divide us will only become more desperate in their attempts. To combat their efforts, we have released a new website to equip you with the right information to fight smears and rumors about the campaign.
Take a look:

NC Blue,my Clifford is a big red cat. :billcat:
The old link to the M v. S audio is expired and here is a new one courtesy of Fernando and JMach1JP.
Still no VOD
I do not know what you mean about Clifford but I understand “poor, poor pitiful me”, but why?
I said I probably will vote obama or not … but that I would Keep My Own Council, so therefore why the need to harass?
Oh no!
It’s raining again! We are drowning here in the midwest. I have a bad feeling that we are on the verge of the biggest local disaster of my lifetime. We’ve always been pretty lucky here with only mini disasters like a local tornado or fire. Now I sense we’re facing crop failures, miles of washed out roads and loss of tourism dollars when it’s all done (if it ever gets done).
I wonder if this country is now playing musical chairs in a disaster sense…west coast wildfires today, midwest floods the next day, southeastern drought thereafter and no leadership in sight.
Druid, I’m not sure what confused you, but Clifford is a big red cartoon dog. My little granddaughter, a fan of the cartoon Clifford, named my cat when we told her he was red (he’s really more orange but people call that color red.)
Evening all, is it safe to come in?
Thx Sue P. 😉 , but Clifford was mentioned in 26 which was an answer to either my 23 or 25 or artnorton’s 24, which led to NC Blue’s comment, of which only part I fully understood, then cam NC Blue’s 27 .
That lil tale about your Granddaughter is precious…I know about Clifford and I too have a “dear” bully red … aka Orange …named Lion :billcat: .
He was an ex-stray kitten about 6 months that forgets he was once a stray, and “tries” to beat on One-Eye-Jack”.
Uh-oh. KO’s commenting again.
Time to move on.
BTW Vernon I do not understand 28 re “BHO at MySpace”,
but I have already checked out that bully strategy of obama’s site by him and his “pals”.
Barry Hussein O’Bama has a MySpace page from whence this came to me.
I don’t think trying to debunk the hateful rumours and lies that have been and will be hurled at him and his wife is a bully strategy, but just the opposite, an anti-bully strategy like the rapid response thing I think I posted yesterday. They are determined to not let what happened to Kerry victimize them. Smart.
It will still be tough because there will always be people who believe much or all of the racist, bigoted or political bullshit lies no matter what as the echo chamber will still grind on.
Nevermind, re BHO, I get it.
I take a bit of time before I post & see what is “said”, sometimes.
This type of tactic has been played against Sen. Hill … 🙄 …..
The last part of the M v. S VOD is up now. Don’t hold your breath for the rest.
For example
Website peddles racially-charged ‘Sock Obama’ toy.
I thought the deal with Les Paul was he broke his digits in an accident and had them permanently set in a guitar playing position. 😉
I like Bill Scher
:pup: WOOF!
Race is not an issue for me…
He had a similar site damning Hillary Clinton months ago…
:pirate: :billcat: :pup:
Obama doesn’t “Get It”, Bill Scher doesn’t “get It”, nor does Sam Seder …
Everyone on AAR & Nova M and LTR and Daily Kos and Huff Post and all Media, chanting Obama, I have for MANY, MANY MONTHS heard doing Hate Hillary Speech also.
Druid- I wish I could send you the bartcop radio show #141 but maybe you can find this…. he played a portion of “Lionel” from AAR where he took Keith Olbermann apart for being such an over-the-top shill for ‘Bama (plus having the biggest head, literally and figureatively) in broadcasting. I think Hillary stands alone in responsbility for why she didn’t quite win it but I agree that KO is a huge pantload who desperately needs an editor. Unfortunately, he’s the only left of center broadcaster on cable OR from the main-stream media.
Anyway, if you can find that Lionel broadcast, enjoy 😆
BTW- bartcop was the biggest Hill’ supporter on the ‘net but he never lost sight of what we all want- the defeat of the thugs…..,it’s a start
artnorton, I like the sweet bit of BartCop I have read … Your post reminded me to seek out more often BartCop …Thank You .. Excellent … …
I do have Method to my Madness… 😉
:reaper: Omega A!I!V!
