Want to know one reason why? Go out in the street tomorrow and try asking anyone you see (get over the momentary embarassement) if they know the FISA vote is coming soon. They simply won’t have a clue what you’re talking about. It’s not even a blip on their radar. And if and when you context it a bit, they will still look at you with a querulous expression.

There is colossal indifference to the a different type of “takings clause”–that’d be the taking of the Constitution from you.

Has the mainstream media been covering it? Hell no. Daily Britney, O.J., “cop murders wife” maybe with his own on the fly reality show–Hell yeah. That’s your America.

And that’s why when it matters no one’s going to step up to the plate, chiefly your “Democrats.

Again “Children who became adult bodies who are perpetual adolescents or tweens nearly 200 million to people who aware 1″ is the ratio.

This tragedy about to happen has not been a blip on the media radar in the medium that most of America still watches to get their “news” –the T.V.

Tweety and MSN “OJ/Britney” BC and Floyd Abramns’ little boy getting a new liberal wind in his sales barely scratches the surface with this. How long before they start an O.J./Britney Tuesday?

The perpetual adolescents who are your country simply don’t know and don’t care and they are far more concerned about reruns and wonder why they’re happening, and “Gossip Girl” has ratings that outnumber the jokes that are titled Presidential “debates” (with “Lightening Rounds and insipidly stupid questions from people like Blitzer) eight or nine to one.

Pssst. Preview isn’t a preview.

CBS News Reports that:
Mike Huckabee has Chuck Norris in his corner. Melissa Gilbert is backing Rudy Giuliani. And the Osmonds are swooning for Mitt Romney.

CBS News adds: “not surprisingly, most of Hollywood’s celebrities are backing Democrats”.

Can you hear the dog-whistle? I can.

Excuse me, weren’t Norris Gilbert AND the Osmonds all actors and on Hollywood t.v. shows?

Seems you can’t expect someone to tell the truth if he’s paid not to. Or, maybe they just don’t have script writers doing the work for media ‘journalists’.

The FISA vote is coming! The FISA vote is coming!
One if by land line, 2 if by cell.

That would be hilarious if it weren’t such a sad situation.

OT – watching Huckabee on the stephanupolous show… I’m thinking the big money interests will come after him hard if he gets any traction in the primary.

Yeah, they won’t like the tax tax tax man.

Still, that might not stop the fundies in some midwest states from picking him.

P.S. I don’t see Preview working here.

calvin highly recommends that book and Howard Zinn’s, “A People’s History of the United States.” We need to know our history. There was a revolution, a real one, not the one in our nation’s history books.

What is in our history books is what our conservative “keepers” want us to know. However, we did have a real people’s revolution. It’s well-worth the time to delve into our “real” history. It’s worth to find out how we’ve been bamboozled all these years.

When they were first introduced, I watched a groc store manager use a chain drug store affinity card in lieu of theirs for someone who had forgotten her card, saying I could lose my job for showing you this. I assume retailers are being compensated (directly or indirectly)by data aggregators for the data.

Of course, they are convenient for cashing checks, etc. but the amount of info being served up is major and not random. At the beginning there were groups of folks who swapped around cards periodically, but then the merchants started mailing bonus coupons, etc. Possibly in part to discourage this behavior. I don’t think people in this country care about privacy… Perhaps another thing that comes under the heading of if you’re not doing anything wrong, why should you care.

Anyone know who the aggregator is… Choice Point? It would be interesting to know exactly how this works. Do the grocers get compensated or get computer systems and valuable inventory, sales-profile and check credit data? Does the aggregator handle the bad checks? What does the aggrogator do with the data?
