You might want to try the other side of the bed tomorrow morning...(sm)
I'm just saying....
T.Boone PIckens will be on Meet the Press tomorrow morning (nm)
x
My, my. get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?
Not only does he identify with the "peon" vs the podium, he seeks to raise them up and level the playing field, which is a WHOLE LOT MORE than his predecessor can even conceive of.
I found the comments on Morning Joe this morning
about Palin rather disgusting. A bunch of overweight old men talking about how hot she is, the feelings (implying those sexual type of feelings) they get when 'near' her in person - Pat Bucanan (spelling?) jokes to stay away from his girlfriend. It was like watching men talk about Playboy centerfolds.
Where are all the women who normally attack that type of behavior? This woman has a husband, children. The fact I would never vote for her does not stop me from being completely nauseated at how they disrespected her.
Should this type of talk be accepted regarding a presidential candidate at all, period?
Is she beautiful, yes. Is she funny, yes. Is she a hunter who kills animals, yes. I appreciate all of those things, but someone who cannot get men to respect her...that would be worrisome in a serious job or say, running an entire country, we are told is in crisis. Not so sure I understand what is so 'gosh-darn' funny about it.
Tomorrow is Christmas Eve
for the democrats. Happy Christmas Eve! Try to sleep. You will receive a fantastic present when the debate begins.
O'Reilly vs Obama, tomorrow pm. So much for those
nm
Will Days of Our Lives be on tomorrow?
x
Tomorrow is when Obama's budget will come out....
nm
So those protesting tomorrow are skinheads?
I have a feeling they will be hard working people just like the average American citizen..... ya know, those that actually pay their way in life and are sick to death of seeing it go to the dump!
I'll be looking for those skinheads and racist militia nutjobs you speak of.
BTW, please explain to me what is racist about wanting NO MORE TAXES! Now, don't scurry away.... stand up and try to defend your comment.
TWO - tomorrow we'll work on counting to THREE.
And JTBB "leans left" like Hitler "disliked Jews."
The huge emphasis on tomorrow is in direct proportion to
Finally. A President we can all be PROUD of, instead of hide-your-head-in-a-bag EMBARRASSED.
Anderson Cooper is hosting "economic sumit" on CNN tomorrow night....sm
Is anyone else eager to watch. I have always though Anderson Cooper was one of the most thoughtful, intelligent, and balanced newsmen out there.....perhaps we can see some true debate, no smoke and mirrors, just digging down into the truth and trying to find pros and cons for a REAL change for our country, not just a change, a commitment to hard work and success. Hoping too much???
This morning on TV,...
...I heard that so far, there were 325 Palestinians dead and TWO Israelis dead. (I realize this figure is no longer accurate, but I bet the ratio still is.)

Sat. morning laugh
Anybody interested, watch the short animated video at:

It only takes a few seconds, it's really funny....until you think about it too long anyway.
My thoughts this morning
I don't know why I find certain posters/postings so darn disturbing. I know in my heart they do NOT represent most right-wingers. I have two very close friends who are right-wingers and quite a few acquaintances. These folks in no way resemble the posters I refer to. I also know they are pretty much a lunatic fringe. I know I should just ignore them....but I can't sometimes, especially when I see postings that are so grievously factually erroneous (i.e., this country takes care of its poor - which I might add in many ways this country TRIES to help its poor but there is still much to be done). I just think I could address these factual errors without becoming personally embroiled.
The up side is that I learn so much from the research I have ended up doing as well reading some of the eloquent and inspiring posts I have seen on this board. That by itself is worth a lot.
Yesterday I felt my blood pressure rise and felt sick to my stomach for a while. But at sunset I took my three ill-behaved dogs-of-uncertain-heritage for a walkl in a snowy woods out here in the boonies where I live and my appreciation for the world that l am able live in came back to me....and I mean my own personal space, my mental place as well as geographic world.
good morning
Get a cup of coffee or juice and enjoy....

I can't find it either....this morning....sm
I saw a .pdf file and when I clicked on it for the new bailout plan as worked out by the Senate, nothing came up on my screen. It was blanked out. Now it isn't there, so it may still be evolving, I dunno.
What I did hear on one of the money talk shows this morning , is that the bill is now up to something ridiculous like 450 pages long. I cringe if I try to wonder what all it does and does not contain.
However, one bright spot in this bill is that it sounds like they are going to get rid of the mark to market rule (dunno if it's going to be temporary or permanent). But from what I understand, that little thing alone, getting rid of the "mark to market" will free up money for all banks to want to begin the lending process again. This is a very, very good thing.
Oh, did you finally get out of bed this morning? nm

I can only tell you what my feelings were this morning...sm
when I saw CP on Meet the Press. We already knew from the lead in that he was going to support one candidate or the other. I respect him so much that I was praying he would endorse Obama but had no real feeling of which way he would go. I listened to what he had to say and felt his pain that he was a republican through and through but just could not endorse McCain. He spoke of their friendship over many years and how much he respected him but could not abide the far right direction and the negative tone that the campaign had taken. He said he is an American first and thinks that Obama is better for America than McCain.
Morning backatcha, Dee
I'm on my way out the door campainging for the restoration of the local grist mill that dates back to the 1830s. Maybe I was born 100+ years too late. LOL
Well, I usually watch the morning
news shows local and national,then a few others after that, but they're all yaking about it. It just seems like the news doesn't have any news. Don't get me wrong. They do it with every little story. I counted 2 weeks at least on little Caylee, then nothing. I counted more than that on the 911 tragedy. After a few days of any news story, it gets really old.
How can the O be painting a room. Doesn't he have all kinds of celebrations/parties/speeches to make somewhere? I thought the three days was going to be spent doing that before THE day.
And that's why I vented this morning.
Of course, I was awake for a couple hours, so I had my coffee and was wide awake when I heard that. LOL
I'm a little calmer now, except I'm now listening to C-Span and they are debating the SCHIP program, about increasing the program. I have to turn it off pretty soon. I can feel my BP going up again with some of the asinine remarks being made by certain members of the senate that don't want to wait to debate or discuss the amendments CAREFULLY. Some want full disclosure of the cost and amendments, others think it's not necessary. What jerks!
wow, nasty this morning,,,
in our area there are people struggling but not to the extent that seem to be here on this board every day. Certainly don't live in a glass house; have struggled before in the past and have figured out a way not to. We are in a fortunate situation at the moment and have taken steps to ensure that we will be okay financially should the rug be pulled out from under us; so be it if that is considered snooty. Bash away as is your style; it humors me.
We'll see who'll be laughing tomorrow.
Bet it's me!
Got a call early this morning, was
not truly awake when I answered the phone, and my stepson stationed in Japan gave me the dreadful news, news I NEVER wanted to hear...he is going to Iraq. My husband was not here when I received this horrifying news, he was working the midnight shift. My stepson said not to tell his dad, that he would tell him. So here I am, with husband now sleeping, and he still does not know that his son is nearing the time of deployment to this God-awful, senseless, maniacal, perverted, ill-fated, unjustifiable war in Iraq where innocent Iraqis by one hundred thousand and American by the thousands are dying because WHY???? Someone please give me an unabashed truthful, reasonable answer as to WHY we are even there?! You must know that when the Bush admin even started talking about invading Iraq, I was 100 percent against it. I knew our presence there would only enrage, create a hornet's nest of more terrorists and fanatics, and lead to devastation for WHAT!? To get rid of Saddam, to get the oil, to enrich Halliburton?! None are good enough reasons to kill people. This murdering bunch of thugs who are *elitists* sitting on their money, getting richer on the lives and deaths of our American troops....It's all too much for me. As I said, I have been against this war before troops were even deployed, and my son has to go....very very sad day for us. I pray for all those have gone before my son, and pray to the dear Lord that this will all end soon. God forgive this prez for all the killing and misery he has caused for nothing, NO THING!
Thanks for the reminder....went first thing this morning....
and you are right...every vote makes a difference, just like every "non" vote. Have a great day!
Here is an issue that I just read this morning. sm
McCain says he opposes using federal $$ for teen pregnancy prevention programs and Palin had said she opposes funding sex-ed programs in Alaska.
I'm not a conservative, but not a total liberal either as I don't believe in abortion - so, what do the conservatives think of this. Do you agree or disagree? Please don't start with the bashing each other, I am sincerely curious and am not trying to get a rise out of anyone.
I saw Biden in an interview this morning....
he got realll agitated when confronted about an issue they really did not want to break. Talking to a reporter and he almost got loud. They are not on the run, but they are definitely concerned. The debates will be verrryyyy interesting.
To Biden's credit, though, he was almost snarly to the press for sexism and attacking Palin's family. Much more forceful about it than Obama. Good for him!
The little experiment I conducted this morning...
proves my point. The attack "machine" on this board will attack anyone who posts in opposition to them...whether I post as Indy Observer or as sam. It makes no difference. So changing the moniker means nothing. It is not the individual poster; we are all lumped together as the "great evil." lol. Sigh.
Did someone miss their morning meds?...nm
This endorsement happened this morning....
She formally announced she is supporting McCain and will campaign for him.
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/16/prominent-clinton-backer-and-dnc-member-to-endorse-mccain/
I heard this morning it was over $850 billion...
with added stuff...one particular one I saw was for wool research and wooden children's arrows of all things. The Republicans did manage to get some tax cuts in there that will help to a point so that maybe not so much of the $700 billion will have to go out...because people will be encouraged to invest again. A drop in the bucket probably, but at least a try. Now it has to go back to the house and no telling what they will want to add. The bill went from what was posted on the internet (about 10 pages I think) to 450+. Sigh. THAT kind of experience we don't need anymore of. Bring on Sarah Palin. I wish we could replace every member of congress with common sense folks like Sarah Palin. THAT is change I can believe in. I am sick to DEATH of Washington Politics as usual.
As to Dodd and Frank...I hear that! Not willing to accept one iota of the blame when they should have all of it. And where is the mainstream media? Out to lunch? Can you imagine what will happen to this country if Obama is elected, with a Democrat majority and mainstream media cover? What is WRONG with people? Hellooo. Sigh.
should have watched good morning
actually biden may have answered questions and he didn't need palin to point out they were not factual.... good morning america sure did though.
I had a post removed this morning . . .
for whatever reason, I guess someone didn't like the fact that I posted about SP being brought up on investigation again for her crooked dealings! Then I got an angry response from someone about not posting political viewpoints on this board!! Why is this post allowed to stay, and mine was taken off? I guess freedom of speech is only allowed for the one side!!
good morning, gourdpainter
another day, another pub.
Yeah, I read this morning
where he is being criticized by the left for not appointing cabinet members who are "liberal enough." LOL Just goes to prove you can please some of the people some of the time but you can't please all the people all the time.
Saw a lawyer on the tube this morning....
saying that Obama campaign does not have to write down names under $200, however, they ARE supposed to be tracking credit card numbers to stop people from making MULTIPLE $200 donations with the same credit card. Supposedly that was done, but no one was making sure there were not repeat donations on the same card. Or they knew it and ignored it. THAT Is why they want an investigation, because it is against campaign finance law for one individual to donate more than $200.
Obama kept the donation from Hamas until it became public and then he gave it back....lobbyists is one thing. Terrorists quite another.
Wow. Up here all morning and so far has drawn one big "DUH"
Maybe they're doing so research on how to trash Shakespeare.
Wow. They let the loons out early this morning.
Either way, it is doubtful he is racist against his other half.
Yep, me too :-) Just hope all is well when we wake up in the morning sm
no matter who wins!
Good morning Gourdpainter....
So how long can I wait until eating that crow? Want to let him get in and going first? :)
Seriously, I hope I am wrong about him. I respect that he is our president, but I just pray he will rethink some of his more liberal ideas (i.e. signing FOCA) and come to a little more little of the road.
Just one other question...is anyone else freaked out by Pelosi? She gave me the heebie geebies last night when she spoke! LOL I'm sorry not being mean, she is just a straight politician through and through!
Well congrats to all you O supporters. I just hope that no one sits back and expects him to fix things. We all need to be more active this go around. We all need to voice our opinions and fight for our rights through this whole presidency. No time to get complacent now!
good morning america
he said that O and him worked on a fund raiser together, that they were family friends and that he donated money to an early campaign. Now I watched a debate where O said that the only link between the two was that they happened to be on the same fund raiser and that he didnt know ayers other than that. so i am sorry but that was not true.
My, my. Feeling a little grumpy this morning?
Hope your petty snipes make you feel better.
Heard this morning about a possible "methane gas tax" (sm)
This would basically be a fart tax for farmers and livestock owners. It has been proposed (not adopted yet) by the EPA, since they are now in control of the atmospheric emissions. The proposal is $175 per head of cattle and $120 per pig.
Even if you're a vegetarian and don't eat meat, if you like cheese, ice cream, chocolate, or anything that includes any dairy product, you can bet this fart tax will be passed on to consumers.
Again, this is just a proposal, so we may hear more about it in the months to come, but it's just another way we can get taxed and the government can say they didn't do it.
On the local news this morning:
US is deploying anti-missle weapons to Hawaii in case N.Korea aims their newest long range missle towards Hawaii on July 4. Hopefully, Alaska is armed to the hilt.
That maniac needs to go.
Did anyone else see a headline/story this morning about Rove?
I saw it briefly this morning and then it disappeared. It said that Rove himself found out about Plame's undercover status from Novak, not the other way around! The article made it sound like this affair was resolved, Rove was the good guy that we all know him to be, ha-ha.
Well, I suppose I can just wait to see if it reappears. Seemed surprising, but stranger things have happened.
I checked that "other" board to see if they were crowing about it yet but na-da, nothing so far. Maybe I misinterpreted it.
On CNN this morning, John McCain picked...sm
Sarah Palin because of her ideology. She was never veted. Investigators are in Alaska now doing so. Smart move John.
Heard it on the news this morning, then googled it...
there is a lot of information on the net about it.
Actually, McCain was in financial meetings all morning....sm
and what I read on CNN is that McCain wasn't told of the content of Obama's first call. I can't find the link to it now, because their news keeps changing.
I believe McCain decided this on his own, without any input from Obama, or even knowing about the call.
I'm willing to bet that he won't give a darn if he loses the debate if he doesn't show up, as it sounds as if Obama refuses to cancel the debate to another time.
Just proves to me that McCain does, indeed, put the country first. He's acting like a true leader.
I heard that this morning and almost spilled my coffee. sm
I believe that McCain has just shot himself in the foot, or like Joe Biden, has a bad case of "foot in mouth disease."
Yes, both should go and help out with the crisis in Washington, but then keep to the debate schedule. After all, a president has to be to able multi-task just like us.
The Obamarama campain is already making hay with McCain, his interview, and wanting to cancel the first debate, saying he is afraid to debate Obamarama, and other comments to that effect.
IMO I think McCain has committed political suicide. Hope springs eternal, but we shal see what we shall see.
