Seems like Dick was talking about the need is that it will establish the governments power to force a corp to do something and shut up about it - his he cashing out of corporations now. In the opposite always being the truth he would be cashing in.

Taken for granted, they like to take them way. Cynical?

Bob, I don’t have a link it was on the CSPAN 2 scrawl about 20 minutes ago. Maybe its on the Capitol News website?

Dakine01 pointed the way to the headline box on the FDL front page, which links to an article in the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

I’ve also heard that Kooch is being threatened with numerous lawsuits relating to his campaign that will cost him a lot of money– some of them are rather vicious. I went off looking for the link, but can’t find it.

Comcast is a Telecom. Cable providers have taken c-span 2 off of “basic cable” and moved c-span 2 and 3 to more costly “digital packages” just in time for this FISA debate. “Figures” Call them an express your disgust!!!

So the Primas Donna did not make the first-act of the FISA-bill Ball, after all?

The glass-slippers, those transparent wonders, have not been set upon their petite, dainty, shapely even noble little feats. Not for them the ‘quaint,’ grandstanding symbolic act (especially not on the losing side), pragmatically in ‘realpoitik’,it would have made ‘no difference’.

The Donnas’ suitors, forever hopeful, maintain their eternal exuberance, nonetheless, assuming a somber, almost religious stoicism: serenely confident that ‘rising tides’ and the strong-blowing winds of ‘change’ shall carry their love-hope messages to their beloved, that they may swoon as one.

Oh! Dare we hope? Dare we live and breathe?

Ah hope, a most-wonderful thing.

An ODE; to ‘Hope’

You are the quitessential essence of my dreams…

My fairest thoughts soar upon your wide, gossamer wings …

When all is Lost!!!

Hark!

Not yet! - for

even …. then…

there is hope.

Small, shrunken, forlorn, almost forgotten; an orphan in ‘better’ times,
our dismayed hope is royal ‘decked’ out these days.

For whom else may we turn to?

If not to Hope?

Hope springs eternal in the human heart …

However lost, forsaken or oppressed:

For one! For all!

There is Hope -

The is always Hope.

Good Luck, on the other plan, requires some anticipation.

I had the pleasure yesterday of telling an AT&T rep who came to the door that I wasn’t even going to listen as long as they pushed for Immunity and against Net Neutrality

The reason Kucinich dropped out?

Cleveland mayor endorses Kucinich challenger

Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson snubbed his local congressman, Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich (D-Ohio), and endorsed one of his leading primary rivals, Cleveland City Councilman Joe Cimperman, at a press conference this morning.

I have been reading that in other places. People in his district are getting tired of him running for Pres over the past 10 years. If you look at his voting record there are a lot of missed votes.

That’s pretty much why he so adamantly opposes any discussion of Global Warming.
