G”Morning….I thought I was late! Where are all the pop-ups coming from? And a Monday with Newt…O My.

Just got polled for the Governor’s race. Might have caused some head scratching when I said that I think of Democrats as “conservative” and Republicans as “very conservative”. Same with Obama vs McCain. I did say that I thought of Bill White as “moderate” but that’s as far left as my assessments went, except when describing myself.

G’Morning, Bev. I’ve got no pop ups. But, a pop-tart sounds good.

Castle will lose in a rigged election in Delaware just as Murkowski did in Alaska. Can’t discount the “Tea Party Express” when it has ready cash for the unverifiable voting machine operators, and timid opponents unwilling to challenge the results.

Krugman is spot on as usual but by what’s good for “us”, these days doesn’t mean the United States. That means the corporations and the fat cats that run the United States. Who cares what’s good for us? We’re just the little people.

Hey, Dumplin….haven’t seen you in awhile…How was your outing?

Mornin’, BT, pups

From Krugman:

So this is a good time to remember that what’s good for multinational companies is often bad for America, especially its workers.

That sentence alone tells us what Geithner et al will do.

And Rich, also…wanting Obama to fight back/focus on the elites and their $$ while complaining and wanting more. O. should get Rich to write some speeches.

Very relaxing. And, we even played tourists a bit. Went one day up to Morro Bay and looked at that big old rock. Learned it was a volcanic plug and another day went through the museum at the San Luis Obispo Mission. Cool beans.
Did I miss anything extraordinary?

Great….if you did, I missed it, too.;)

O. should get Rich to write some speeches.

Maybe that would help him politically but I would rather him behave like a progressive instead of just making noises like one.

Spammers are getting more imaginative. Now they are lifting my resume’ from monster.com and taking my last job title and “offering” me the same position. Only when you click on the website, it’s just another fake “employment agency” that will find you a job for the low, low price of $______.__. People who prey on the unemployed and desperate should be shot. Or sent to Somalia.

New book from David Harvey on capitalism:

The Enigma of Capital: and the Crises of Capitalism

The agencies must be having trouble finding enough qualified candidates, do you think? Part of the whole economic mess?

From the Gingrich link above:

D’Souza concluded, “Incredibly, the U.S. is being ruled according to the dreams of a Luo tribesman of the 1950s. This philandering, inebriated African socialist, who raged against the world for denying him the realization of his anticolonial ambitions, is now setting the nation’s agenda through the reincarnation of his dreams in his son.”

WTF?

No, they take your money and for some reason the “right job” just never seems to come along. Some offer for a period of time and when that’s up they want more money. Just money down a rat hole from the get go.

The only agencies I’ve ever signed up for were ones where the employer paid. I must be in a lower paying job bracket. (Duh, ya think?)

Newt is such a disaster….he has never met an insult he doesn’t like. It looks to me that the “tribesman’s” son has done quite well. In fact, much better than the Newt.

At church yesterday, our pastor got up and talked about the whole Q’uran Burning news. In a nutshell, he said that those who planned to do that were just plain stupid. He might have said Idiots, but I forget which word he used.

It’s just spam demi. Just designed to separate the gullible and desperate from the tiny amount of money they still have. It has nothing to do with “qualified applicants” because they aren’t offering “jobs”, just some fantasy. It has the same chance of success as prayer but it costs money.

Dude, you don’t have a Qu’ran.

I get a kick over the endless speculation that he would have a chance running for president. Yeah, maybe in another universe. As long as people are aware that he was carrying on an affair and demanded one wife tolerate it and then served divorce papers on another wife while she was recovering from cancer surgery, he doesn’t stand a chance. It’s like the quitter. I stand a better chance of being president than she does.

Good on him. And, a great way to make his point. And, I love that COEXIST sign with all the different religious symbols. I’ve seen bumper stickers like that.

Notice how young most of the protesters are? Idiots in the Village aren’t paying any attention to them and are eventually gonna get their asses handed to them by the youngsters. You can bet that every one of them who’s of voting age votes.

When I get a job and no longer need a valid resume’ online, I’m going to put up a fake resume’ with “snake charmer” or something equally or more ridiculous at the top and wait for “offers” from “agencies” who have no end of snake charmer positions for the low, low price of $____.__. Then I’m going to forward them to the AG. Not that I think anything will be done but I have to try.

who cares about this multinational worker crap! let ‘em eat cake!

we all care about “tax cuts” cuz that is what the fascists want us focused on, therefore ‘our’ fascist obliging Dim-0-Fuck $ell 0ut$ and political incompetents will oblige the fascists!

Given how stunningly incompetent the Dim-0-Fuck$ are at beating the lies of the thieves, AND, given how craven and how cowardly this congress has been (thanks Nancy, Steny & Harry!) – I don’t believe that we’re going to get any beneficial-to-the-bottom-90%-class policies outta these sell outs in the next 7 weeks.

We will get $old out some more, and we’ll get a bunch of bluster and a bunch of lies AND, of course, the obligatory blame-the-DFHs for keeping tens of millions of voters home.

That’s why people like Jonathan Alter p*ss me off so much. He is so entirely clueless. The last time he was on the Ed Show, I was throwing gloves at the screen and screaming at the boneheaded jerk.

aren’t you assuming that the pathetic sacks of shit calling themselves Democrats would bury Newt the pig with THE TRUTH?

funny how the thugs get away with swift boats and willie horton and a dress stain, and our pathetics can’t even make THE TRUTH work for them.

rmm.

It just warms my heart to see those kids with Love Is The Answer signs. And, yest the Village should be paying attention to them. We’ll see what kind of young voters turn out in support of Prop 19 here in California. Won’t we?

Off to swim in the great capitalist cesspool.

US KIA Afghanistan: 1,278

Iraki and Afghan casualties: estimates vary to over 1.5M

Be good to yourselves, and all other living things.

Namaste

You know, I don’t come here in the morning to be sworn at in caps. Laters.

Right…the word needs to get out. He’s so arrogant Im sure he believes those “rules” wouldn’t limit him and his big ego.

Oh, I hadn’t thought that was swearing at you…just for emphasis. Maybe there’s a history. Sorry if you were offended.

Guv’s poll has Hair up by 6 points…

No, no history. Maybe it’s just too early for me to be so angry. I guess anger is for people who have hope.

And most recent polling I’ve seen has them in a statistical tie.

Not directly related to Geithner, but certainly some iconic “US” labeled manufacturers…

Harley-Davidson workers under threat of the company leaving for cheaper labor pastures, vote on contract reductions and significant hiring of part-time and casual labor today. Sub-Zero, Madison, WI, high end, designer appliances, workers already took 20% pay and benefit cuts under similar threats.

New post up top…

It’s the first day of school and the bus actually made it here and on time, so I’m off to start my day.
And, Peg, I’ve heard that anger is healthier than depression, so at least you’ve got that going. Find a project for the day. Any weeds need pulled?
Bev, you have a blessed one. (I can get away with saying that to you, can’t I?)

It has the same chance of success as prayer but it costs money.

Good morning and good one Margaret,

Last congregation I belonged to, that praying and those prayers cost money too. :)

Absolutely,,,,it’s the “great” thing that gives me pause….;) Thanks

This little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine!

It will show up in your next mailing from your conservative acquaintances. Undoubtedly with doctored photo. These people are disgusting.

From the article re Dumb & Dumberer:

“(To) know why we are an exceptional nation, know why we never have to apologize for being Americans,” Palin told the cheering crowd.

Everything about these 2 charlatans is irritating, but this is among the top 5 annoying things… it’s kind of like that stupid book “Love Story,” where the dying wife says: “Love means never having to say you’re sorry.” What a load of …. (fill in the blank).

Meanwhile:

– Andrew Breitbart admits it: “I tricked you.” Shirley Sherrod’s attorney ought to find this interesting.

– Rupert Murdoch’s people caught wiretapping phones of Brits they don’t like. One wonders if they’ve tried it on Americans they don’t like?

“Love means never having to say you’re sorry.”

There’s a scene in “What’s Up, Doc?” in which Steisand uses that line and Ryan O’Neal (who also starred in “Love Story”) has the appropriate response, “That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.”
