You get it Mary!!

Good evening..)

ES!

Anyone else hearing that annoying iphone ad?

Love Lulla!

No…

It’s a keeper..)

I was about to report it, but I had already refreshed and it disappeared. (thankfully)

what?

Oh just an ipod ad with annoying (congratulations you just won!!!!) audio.

How are you neuro… eating sweet KS corn yet?

Anybody know what this is all about?

“New HELP Bill Covers 97 Percent Of Americans, Costs $600 Billion”

and this

“AMA Reverses Position, Says Open To Government-Funded Insurance”

Am I dreaming? I left town to go to Martini Night in Sonoma and come back to possibility.

Hey, ES. Nice to hear something that ain’t Michael Jackson.

Do you have links, Mary?

It is all on Huffpo.

HELP

AMA

Oooooooh. The Tinariwin video was great. Makes me want to go back in time so I could follow the hippy trail to India. ‘Cept the music is African. Made me imagine the psychadelic 1970’s in the Middle East, though.

Martinis are good for you, Mary.

US launches major Afghan assault

Four thousand marines, backed by Nato aircraft and a 650-strong Afghan force, are moving into towns in Helmand province, where the Taliban has been intensifying its challenge to the Kabul government and allied forces.

Pentagon officials say the plan – said to be the largest US marine offensive since Vietnam – is not just to inflict casualties against the enemy, but to dig in and hold on to territory.

“We’re gonna go there and go to the far reaches where the Taliban is not looking for us, where they’re not expecting a fight, where they’re not sitting in prepared defensive positions and that’s gonna keep them off-balance,” spokesman Captain Zachary Martin said.

Who? /s

Think Progress has snippet up about it

ES !

Don’t let up, though … keep pressuring Congress so they enact a strong public option that starts America on the road to single payer. Call once, twice, a hundred calls until they relent.

I know, that song tempts me to buy the album… probably will (at minimum) buy the mp3 of that song.

You wouldn’t have any idea what the stone circles in the video represent would you?

I predict in a week or so, HoJo will appear on TeeVee and say he was misquoted about not supporting a public option for health care.

Wonder if HoJo has ever cheated on his wife. Never mind. I don’t want to think about it anym……..

Hi Petrocelli..)

No one wants to bring the troops home through Iran more than me …

If we were neighbors.. I would offer to make a wager, but i hope you are right.

Evenin’ Sir ! How was your Canada Day ? *g*

Don’t have a clue about the stones.

Milwaukee Jacquette, little known cousin of Illinois Jacquette.

Everyone who has opposed BO on Health Care has backed down … I call that a trend ! *g*

I don’t think the Kennedy’s are going to let anyone f*ck with Uncle Ted’s legacy …

Good Luck with the Bingaman meeting !

I just don’t want to get my hopes up.

Let’s hope so, but it’s definitely not the time to let up the pressure.

I am definitely calling Bingaman’s office tomorrow.

I don’t know that they’ll even let me meet the staffer, but for sure I won’t if I don’t ask.

ES!~
Hi everyone

I hear she is also a great throat singer. /s

Me either, we need more details, not new evasive maneuvers / talking points.

And that (Tuvan throat singing) is definitely an acquired taste.

Hi again, pups!

Waching Lost on Blueray WOW!!

good evening everyone…… maybe when the kidney cancer patient gets her evaluation I can find out why I have to wait 24 months for medicare after the SSDI is approved?

HI Margot and Funny!

There is no good answer.

If you haven’t seen Sarah look like a jr. high model, have a look. This is really pathetic, but maybe she’s decided she can’t make it in politics and needs the money.

It’s going to be a tough fight … one that the other side keeps winning but this time, the good guys control teh toobz, so it is possible to unite and win.

The Repugs know that any step toward public health care is a death knell for their donors and so do the Bluedogs … keep hammering away !

Margot !

First I heard of it, was a movie Ghengis Blues w/ Paul Pena. About half way though I could throat sing along with them, much to my surprise. Anyway, it’s a lot more fun when one can sing along..)

Miss Diva…)

katymine !

Like Mary sez, there is no good answer …

Is that a rhetorical question, katy?

I’d call Senators McCain and Kyl and ask them about it. Heck, wasn’t McCain in the Senate when the original Medicare was passed in 1965?

Happy Captain Canuck, Petro!!

The longer this fight drags on, I think the better chance we have of getting something semi decent.

Jeebus, you mean she’s this way even after practicing yoga for so many years ?

Margaret Thatcher has returned from her dementia! I love the presidential, bent over in spandex pose too.

-G

I first heard of it when I read Surely You’re Joking, Mr Feynman. Heard it a couple of years later when some Tibetan monks came through town and gave a concert. I was deputized to take them to dinner, had a great time. Those big-ass temple trumpets are really close to trombones…

The Tinariwen song made me think of Stuart Copeland’s Rhythmatist album from ‘85.

One thing is certain, the quality of lay video capability has come a long way.

*mwaah* Thanks !

I’m thinking this running magazine decided that she’s the right age to get her followers on board for another 30 years, and will pay her to SHUT UP AND POSE!

ES,

I don’t know about other congressional districts, but I know from today’s meeting that Harry’s staff is getting hit hard on this. I assume that we’re not terribly different from other places.

Pelosi’s silence speaks volumes … they are going to do all the Horse trading necessary to get a strong public option.

Not to be confused with the Pit Farters of Kabul.

-G

I’m just worried about the horse trading that’s going to be involved.

Cool, must have been great fun.. i bet they almost felt at home in the NM mountains.

I once was a bartender (most popular person in the house) for the Georgian Dance Company after a show.. I’ve never seen a group of stronger athletes..and astonishingly beautiful people who could and did drink like giant fish.

LOL … GregB !

Take off, eh!

-G

I think the aging VHS transfer lost a lot of the original quality…) But we have come a long way.

Don’t be … once a strong public option is enacted, the Repugs and BlueDogs are going to lose big in ‘10 & ‘12 … this is their “Little Bighorn”.

O good lord – you gotta post the “NSFS” (Not Safe For Spew) Tag with shit like that. My keyboard? Lost cause. HAH!

LOL … I was a good Canuck today, drinking Alexander Keith’s Pale Ale, instead of my fave Belgian Brew …

Senate Investigates Blackwater Subsidiary

In a letter obtained exclusively by CBS News dated June 18, Senator Carl Levin, Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, demanded Mr. Prince’s cooperation in investigating the role of private security contractors and sub-contractors employed by his firm in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Senator has also requested specific documents concerning security contracts and weapons policies and practices as part of their inquiry.

The two contractors involved in the shooting were hired to help the U.S. Army train Afghan troops. The incident occurred in Kabul, Afghanistan as they were driving their interpreters back to a base when a car crashed into them. The vehicle that struck them did not turn away, instead made a u-turn and headed towards them again at which point the men, feeling threatened, opened fire at the approaching vehicle, killing one and wounding two others according to their lawyer Daniel J. Callahan.

When are we going to get investigations?

He also sells screen wipes for 3.99 apiece./s Hi KCD

Right after victory!

Prince & Madoff should be cell mates, so Bernie can be pissed off for the rest of his life that someone managed to steal even more than he did.

IOW, right after the twelfth of never.

The global economy consuption of raw materials and greenhouse gas will grow 8 times by 2020

Geez, GregB! How did you find that little gem?

birth control

Prince’s brainstorm of changing the company name to Xe has not had the desired effect. Everyone knows it’s still Blackwater and just reveals a sleazy attempt to erase their visibility.

How is your body tonight, bigbrother?

Sorry.

Don’t drink before reading this one.

Name fail.

-G

You have now idea – my old screen name years ago was “flatulence” after that airplane episode

I have since grown up – but only barely. :)

Ha….Always on the prowl for a good chuckle.

Wonder how a mercenary army with a Cross in its symbol will play in the Middle East …

Did you see the silo post on all the Dems who won’t vote for any health bill which allows government money to go towards women’s reproductive choice/health?

How is your body tonight, bigbrother?

Mary! What would Ron say?

Now that is funny.

fuckery.
just say no to sex with prolifers.

Prince….. really Duh….. not the singer but the CEO…… and criminal…

ROFL

I think he would be worried about bb, too. /silly

Badly? They might as well call themselves The Crusaders, not to be confused with The Jazz Crusaders.

vasectomies at birth… reverse them after 21 yrs of age.

Mercenaries? According to Prince, they’re just a bunch of hash slingers…you know, contractors.

I hate Blackwater. They showed up after Katrina like they were there before it even started to rain.

Yeah, it’s time to re-explain the facts of life to these knuckleheads. Comprehensive health care means exactly that, and that means that reproductive matters have to be covered.

Breaking news out of India. Their supreme court just shot down the law that criminalizes homosexuality.

Is Thomas Friedman a “freemarket” guy? “Hot flat and crowded” has a lot of data. If we want the planet livable climate to survive we have to tax polluters. We are talking about China air pollution coming into the West coast states now.

Quick question – anybody here from Lincoln NE? I’m driving there tomorrow and going to film the teabagger nonsense at the capital Saturday from 12:00 – 2:00.

It’s in response to the food-drive we’re trying to gin up here and here.

Join up! Act locally! It’s at least slightly cool as Blue Gal and Suzie Madrak are on board. See for yourself!

And I’ll quit cause/blogwhoring now. Sorry mods.

Good.

Clean…I just took a shower. Seriously improving.

No, but I attended the fourth grade there.. lived across the street from a giant outdoor public park.. which they flooded for an outdoor ice skating park all winter. Was fantastic. The capitol building is quite different, nice.

Good night, folks.

Last day of Summer Session I tomorrow … as soon as my grades are turned in, I’m free.

More good Palin dirt.

Clearly irritated by what he saw as Palin’s attempt to mislead her own campaign and apparently determined to demonstrate that the ultimate authority rested with him, Schmidt put the matter to rest once and for all with a longer response to everyone in the e-mail chain.

Great to hear, bb.

Good night BC.

A little Indian music to celebrate.

Tunak tunak tun.

-G

So what this says is that repugs are starting to bore even themselves to death.

Congrats! Enjoy the vacation.

Night.

-G

Friedman is like Louis Renault in Casablanca,”…personally, I”ll take whatever comes.”

Changes his tune depending on the administration.

heading off to bed…… see ya….. nite nite

10 billion pounds of air pollution come into our skies from East Asia
Clean Air, Water are no longer “free” as we had grown up before bottle water.

Oh Oh…. forgot my question….. chemo brain hits again….

Why since 2006 or earlier is the figure 46-48 million uninsured STILL….. why isn’t 100 million? that figure never moves, grows, there are 1/2 million a week who are loosing their jobs……. are 1/2 million dieing to keep it that figure?

Why are we stuck with a figure that does not represent the true stats?

Night BCT, Night Katymine!

g’nite Katy.

It’s funny to read the comments and to constantly read that the Democrats are afraid of Palin, hence the interest.

Sort of like claiming that one watches Jerry Springer out of fear.

-G

Night katymine.

Night gang.

-G

Good point, surely there must be more uninsured now than two years ago…

You would think with millions more unemployed (that they can’t deny) it would have increased just a little bit,

Night katy and GB.

Off to bed tomorrow got to get stuff done. Thanks for the reponses.

Maybe the insurance companies are paying for the research?

actually I think that figure came out of the 2004 presidental campaign….. it was thrown around by Kerry/Edwards…..

Millions have lost their jobs, many have maxed their unemployment insurance…. housing repos and foreclosures……. it is my guess that if the public knew the real figure, the % who wanted single payer/public option would be running around 95%…….

alright…. going now…..

Sounds about right.. far to long to be remotely accurate.

I’m turning in as well

Good night firedogs.

like the first tune a lot, ES. Nice when it hits its stride, kind of reminiscent of a loping Nusrat groove.

Well, pups, it’s been a pleasure, as always.
Good night!
FunnyWheelieDiva

Way more. Maybe the next census will ask that question.

good piece on Wilco
