Mornin’ BT and Pups!

Listening to democracynow. Obama doesn’t torture. He outsources it to other countries.

The CIA is a greater threat to the security of America than North Korea. North Korea has not assassinated any US Presidents. The CIA has.

MSNBC says the Supreme Court pick will be announced at 10:15 this morn.

you are a real stitch

Hi eCAHN and solai. You’re up and at ‘em early this morn.

did you just hear the bit about liberty u. banning a D party group?

edit to add: i love democracy now! – by far the best daily news program i have been able to find.

thanks, so i didn’t have to. i’ve got the left. u take the right. easy now. no sudden moves. yikes. no coffee yet.

Usually getting ready for work about now, but I’m off today.

Yes. Rachel had the head of Liberty’s D club on last week. He was completely inarticulate. Wonder if that’s true of Liberty’s Rs also.

nope. but we’ve had practically the whole house out of commission for a couple days or more – electrical trubbles.

did anyone expect LiberU to do anything else? Was the group formed just to tickle their noses, or for [?]. either way, good on the students. heh.

thanks. no cable here and i don’t follow liberty u news, so am obviously behind. what a hoot.

“completely inarticulate” hmmmm. how could you tell what or who he was? mebbe it’s a sham group, sorta like a frat prank.

i just saw a headline on that. it said the ban was for “moral reasons.” Didn’t read the article to find out what those were. Funny. One lione we’re hearing so much from the GVoldbergs, Becks and Hannitys is that there is no free speech for conservatives on college campuses. wonder what they think abou this.

i hope your electrical troubles are ok now, or at least resolved soon. good luck!

Certainly serves as a public revelation of Liberty’s true stripes.

D party stands for abortion, that kind of stuff.

Enjoy the day.

I’m embarrassed I didn’t think of doing this yesterday. I’m likin’ the O”Bomb”A label.

Hope you got your electricity fixed. I blew the most convenient outlet in the house with a frayed wire on my electric mixer, so gotta get an electrician to come & fix it.

Vice president of student affairs Mark Hine said in the e-mail sent to [Dem Club President] Diaz on May 15 that the Democratic party violates the school’s principles by supporting abortion, socialism and the “‘LGBT’ agenda,” referring to lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender people. The e-mail said that even though the campus group “may not support the more radical planks of the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party is still the parent organization of the club on campus.”

hey. At least he didn’t say “Democrat Party.”

O-Bomb-a works for me.

I love it when Newt gets his ass handed to him! Makes for a fine day!

thanks.

Breaking: It’s Sotomayor

I don’t see Bill Greider on the the sked for at least 6 weeks so we got time but it’s so damn good.

…and MSNBC showed the most unflattering photo they could find of her as Joe disses the choice.

Regardless of who it is we’ll now be treated to a non-stop full out assault by the uberreichwingnuts, led by the Cheney crime family and Limpdick.

I can hardly wait for the racist Rs to get their wurlitzer going.

thanks. nice, seemingly able guy is helping us. prolly won’t be over until they replace the main breaker switch to the house, or possibly the whole breaker switch box, sigh.

good news for the easily pleased: the guy seems to love our place, and is seriously considering buying it. nature freak like us. So I’ve refilled all the feeders and the birds are singing their heads off, milkweed growing, flutterbies a-flying their colours,… Yes, I know it’s a long shot, but the occasional house has been sold really fast around here-abouts. Now if only I don’t succumb to the “vapors” a-dreaming of a rosy future, we might get through this. We don’t have a fainting couch, and the only ones with a comfy place to sit are the kitties.

Anyone. I just dubble-dare you to prep. a house for sale, with no electric, no water (great water and well, just run on electric. Ordinarily I’d be thrilled about not having to run a sweeper and wax floors, but NOWWW?!

That dear electrician has us jerry-rigged to make do and is tracking down sources for 35yr old style of good quality switches.
*crosses fingers*

p.s., Yes. Our problems are miniscule compared to what so many many people are facing in this country and around the world. I just get cranky when I can’t use the toobz. Ignore me and my obsessing over personal stuff. G’wan now! Hut hut! Pups! Go save the world. It needs your kind attentions somethin’ fierce.

MNBC says SCOTUS announce coming this a.m.

Gottacheck the comments first *g*. FDL savvy commenters always in the know.

CA Supreme Court will issue their ruling on over turning Prop 8 at 1pm today. I hope they do, I doubt they will.

SCOTUS appointment and Prop H8 decision announcements today. Gonna be a hot one.

i’ll light a candle for ya.

I was hoping for Harriet Miers

Is Christy awake? Quick, brew more coffee.

The finest of days, indeed, Kay

*oh snap!*

Power Play

LOL. Can I do my coffee over your candle? Thanks. I hope you get yours fixed ASAP.

MSNBC.com says it’s Sotomayor

fingers crossed MM!

re bt’s link on health care. gruber makes some very good points, but i note that he pretends that obama has proposed universal coverage when he has done no such thing and that the policy that could come much closer to universal coverage – single payer – and cost less never mentioned. gruber seems to have made a career out of trying to figure out ways to improve the private insurance system – while pretending there aren’t possibly better solutions.

http://www.pnhp.org/news/2007/…..r_on_t.php
and more

oh, and gruber says obama has proposed a universal coverage policy when he has done no such thing.

some day i’d like to have an honest political conversation about health care reform. and a pony.

fingers crossed!

I want one of these.

i’m glad we’ve got some time because the weather here as been just too nice and i’ve had trouble spending much time reading anything. even the good stuff. i better get on the ball!

Thanks. We just have to be patient and keep working on other stuff. At least it’s working sorta o.k. now, after a fashion. So I can’t stay here, much as I’d like to. Gotta work our heads off to git this done and git outta here. Time’s a wasting.

Be of good cheer, pups. Try “encouraging” ‘bama. Even good puppies don’t learn nearly so fast if all ya do is smack ‘em on the nose alldeedamtime.

over&out…

lol!

well, i’m off….

peace to all.

Six Catholics on the court. . .swell

Every little bit helps.

yeah, not good

Wow. Morning Ellie and MM & all! Hi guys! Dang, why do I have to go, ma. I wanna play wit da pups. Waaaaaaaaah.

adie, if he has trouble, had a hard time finding a breaker for my old box, a few years ago, i got the one for my kiln on ebay….came in one day. 6 bucks.

A sweet good morning to you Adie, and good luck with everything.

i thought the same thing…and bush appointee.

‘let’s all run to the middle, where’s the middle? oh, ten yards south.’

I’m less concerned with their religion then political beliefs.

I can hardly wait for the racist Rs to get their wurlitzer going.

as in – ”You simply cannot trust an Hispanic attorney. does the name Alberto Gonzales ring a bell?”

(?)

I’m sure you are right, I just don’t like 6 anythings on there! (Including men)

‘oh no! the apocalypse!!!’ snicker.

did you get the sharon burch song i left you yesterday morning?

i’m waiting for the one that says on the resume

religion-none

orrrr

religion-universalist

MoJoke says she’s the most liberal of the final four. Could anyone have predicted he’d say that? What happens if the leak is wrong? He’ll just ‘forget’ that he said that and announce that the real pick is the most liberal. Personally, I was heartened to hear that. Is it true?

I know it’s a catch 22.

thanks. He seems like a savvy sort, and has a buddy who deals in the kind he’s looking for, so we’ll see how it goes. At this point, it’s just a small bother. Before it was arcing crazily, and wayyyyy dangerous.

Really gotta go, tho my heart’s here. Hey! We set a whole bunch of old phono records out by the road yestidie and some happy soul picked up the whole lot! *g* Yes, we’d run around, and checked around – ZZEERRO sales market for such stuff when it’s all classical. Not worth the bother. Rather have someone just pick it up like that.

My sweet hubby, seeing how fast someone took it, kindly suggested I put out my sizeable stack of old competition youth orchestra records from my teen years. Sweet fella. I’ll keep him, but play frizbee with the LPs. heh.

I don’t know if she is the most liberal. I have seen that said about her but I don’t recall exactly where so I don’t want to make a statement that might be wrong.

Maybe someday that will happen.

THANK YOU for that comment! AMEN from the compassionate heathen in our household!

actually, my old neighbor got it on ebay, he’s the ebay king.

she was on a show saying the new appointee should be a woman, don’t remember which show.

What is my religeon? nun a yer dang bidness! Do I believe? Yes!

WHY must people call us “non-believers”. Egad! Couldn’t be farther from the truth!?! AAAAARRRRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!

Missed it. I was pretty much alternating anti-war songs with Native American flute songs all day, with no comments, sorta reflecting my mood. Same with Hobsyllwin the White. Just wanna get on and go somewhere else for a while.

ok, hold on i’ll get it.

Off to swim in the great capitalist cesspool.

O”Bomb”A

Be good to yourselves, and all other living things.

Namaste

hey. no one mentioned newtietoottoot. heh. as it should be. don’t feed the trolls.

that’s why i posted it, mah deahah.
i said the drum song you posted provided what the parade and ceremony would have. thanks. i couldn’t go.

i have this cd. long story.

Sotomayor? i guess it could be worse. But i’m not surprised. kinda expected her. we’ll see how Boner et al react. they probably aren’t surprised either so they must be ready with an immediate roll out of their bullshit.

i think if it’s something you offer voluntarily, go for it, otherwise, to me, is a private thing.

whether it is a problem to hold public office? guess that depends on how you practice your religion.
if someone is a hypocrite, and uses their religion as a weapon, then they shouldn’t be in a position to make decisions for me.

Hummers and dragons! Gorgeous creatures and lovely music. Thanks.

gotta go, the helpers are here for the heavy lifting….yay.

no, thank yew for the drums yesterday. brought back many many memories.

Agreed.

It used to be very private for me also, and still is. I’m just fed up with so many people making such a big issue of religion in politics, in every sense that they find to do so. I call myself a compassionate heathen because I figure that’s what most on the right would call me, no matter what i called myself, so it’s more reactionary than it oughtta be, I suppose.
