Please don’t start the election porn already.

With a net worth of a quarter billion dollars, every year is a good year to be Mitt Romney.

Hey, you’ve got to make the secession jokes while they’re hot again.

These jokes have been dormant for 144 years.

Delta is ready when they are.

Morning All,
What was it the rethugs used to say. “If you don’t like it leave”

“If putting a caterpillar in a box will save your children it IS RIGHT”. Guess who?

It was Un-American to peacefully protest the Vietnam War but a point of pride to have taken up arms against your government in the Civil War.

I thought spring was supposed to be coming. They are saying 2 feet of snow here today.

If there’s a bustle in your hedgerow
Dont be alarmed now,
Its just a spring clean for the May Queen.

Have you seen the Pressbrerger film that was taken from? “A Matter of Life or Death.

Good morning, pups. It’s Bobo and Krugman today. Bobo’s in Tel Aviv. Bobo can’t back up a car. In “A Loud and Promised Land” he says in Israel, the most emotionally intense experiences are national ones, so the public-private distinction was bound to erode. Prof. Krugman, in “Green Shoots and Glimmers,” says that with all the talk of signs of recovery, there are still real reasons to be cautious about the economic outlook.

Here they are.

The coffee, tea and hot chocolate are ready, and I’ve got Thomas’ English muffins with lots of butter and jam. I’m in the mood for blackberry this morning, but the lemon marmalade is good too. We have a friend from out of town coming for the weekend, and we seem to have some good weather for him, which is nice. He enjoys sitting in the back yard and watching the birds at the feeders. Have a great day.

From Stairway the Heaven aka A Matter of Life and Death.

No I haven’t. I just liked the juxtaposition of the words with what you had typed earlier.

is Jindal a noveau catholic, too?

Good morning all and thanks for the post, Attaturk. I’m thinkin our gov won the Crazy GOP Governor of the Year Contest with his lastest secessionist crap. Honest to doG and no shit the man is a wart on the ass of progress.

Meanwhile, back in the real world of his crumbling state, no work today because there is no work at work. Up until last week the 2 guys that own the small shop I work for have done a spectacular job of keeping us (18 workers) working. The strain is becoming apparent on their faces now.

I thought he converted in college much to the dismay of his parents.

saw hannity for a bit last night. Geraldo had the balls to stand up to him. Interesting.

yeah. didn’t know it was in college, but i’m pretty sure he converted and I also think i heard/read that his parents were not pleased. I was raised Catholic and just can’t see anyone converting to it. Especially somebody married 3 times like Newton.

Republicans need a man for all seasons…Dems need a seasoned man, or woman.

Evidently Tony Blair is really getting into his newfound Catholicism.

Remember Rick Warren asked Obama when he thought life began and Obama said that’s above his pay grade. I see Palin said last night that the amnswer isn’t above her pay grade. Jeez. Lady can’t even answer a softball question about what she reads. And she is certain when life begins?

Really? I just don’t get the attraction.

Nor I, Just got tired of thinking I guess.

Yeah, ’cause Catholics find themselves in the poistion here if they think independently, they aren’t in step wuth Catholic doctrine any more, so why bother continuing to call yourself Catholic? OK. Wrong of me to presume to speak for Catholics generally, buit that’s what happened to me.

What bone is Obama going to throw to the right wing and the Republicans today?

He has started to challenge the pope on church stand though

Obama will be the man that stabilizes a shaky Republican Party. The fact that he is unwilling to hold Republicans accountable for the venality and crimes of the past 8 years will lead to their eventual return to power. Investigations, indictments and subsequent prison would have exposed the Republicans for the criminals they are to the “unknowing” American. Americans have a very short memory and have shown themselves to be susceptible to manipulation and propaganda. With no accountability the Republicans will be back, and sooner rather than later.

Injured war zone contractors fight to get care

Civilian workers who suffered devastating injuries while supporting the U.S. war effort in Iraq and Afghanistan have come home to a grinding battle for basic medical care, artificial limbs, psychological counseling and other services.

The insurance companies responsible for their treatment under taxpayer-funded policies have routinely denied the most serious medical claims. Those insurers — primarily American International Group (AIG) — recorded hundreds of millions of dollars in profits on this business.

Thank you, Donald Rumsfeld.

well said.

Thanks. I’m losing faith in Obama daily. He is proving he will be nothing more than a transitional president when what the U.S. needs is a transformational president. The rule of law applies only to the little people, not to the power brokers i.e. plutocrats.

Sarah Palin had her nominee for Alaska AG rejected by a vote of 35 to 23.

Good morning, friendly lurking mod — please see the most recent post at Oxdown. It’s a spam post.

And good morning Firepups. Don’t forget to sign the petition at the end of the last post Jane put up last night, requesting a special prosecutor.

Much agreement..there has never been a more oppotune time for a Progressive Government and Obama is failing us. What Hope?

Great film

So true..giving up hope, too old.

I believe Ron Paul will be a much more successful republican candidate if he runs with them again

Future historians will dub Obama “The Great Bamboozler”.

Come on now!

Obama has proven he is willing to bend over backwards to placate the Republicans and the power elite. Want meaningful healthcare reform? Don’t count on it. He will provide legislation that will placate big pharma, the insurance companies and the Republican Party then have the audacity to go before the American public to convince them what a great bill it is.
