    I already did. It felt oh, so right – but not half as right as writing in Dr. Jill Stein for the presidential candidate!

  • Yes. She thinks we’re stupid. They. All. Do. The same owners of the media own both parties.
    It’s a big club and you and I aren’t in it.

    Obama doesn’t get a backbone. He’s doing what the modern democrat party does. It’s preety much the same as what the republican party does. It’s forced on none of them. Its what they choose to do. They couldn’t care less about us. They show that by their actions, so its better to ignore what they say, and watch what they do – or don’t do.

  • Well,obviously some man had to step up and take charge of the uppity gal and her sass-mouth vajayjay. She probably had no business flying the friendly skies on her own. Now, if she had to share a seat with potential GOPer Veep Bob Mc Donald, she’d have been sorted out long, long before she boarded [...]

    Protein bars are always a good thing to have – lots of nutrition in a small space – thanks to Henry Rollins for that tip. Best Airport food I ever brought onto a plane was a greasy paper bag filled with a variety of cuban empanadas from La Carreta in the Miami Airport. Mustard for [...]

    Aaaaahhhh! The “paws” that refreshes!
    TBogg’s shadow play is just as Tejanarusa describes, lovely as always – and so comforting considering the times we find ourselves in.

    We call it creamed tuna on toast, but my Mom’s versions differs: Basic white sauce as described above, ceyanne pepper, dash Worchestershire, frozen peas, diced onion. Serve over sour dough toast with lemon and tobasco at hand. It’s such a comfort. It reminds me of my Mom, who I know, but doesn’t know me anymore, [...]

  • Nothing wrong with your gut instict OFG, the purpose of low/no interest on savings is to force savers into the market as the sole vehicle for “growth.” It’s the undoing of money over time, the undoing of saving – and it makes that mattress look good again if you ask me.
    The fuckery is that Ben and Tim are calling for keeping interest down in the near, medium and long term.

  • War seems to be one of our few growth industries, yet I’ve not seen any press or fire-side chat from our Commander in Chief about some threat, some enemy, some goal. How come no one ever asks the Reps (or Dems, or Gob-shite Joe Leiberman)why they believe that such unquestioned excess is “vital” to the national interests.
    Funny that.

  • I’m going to go out on a limb and wager a guess that within a year, this “man of god” will be caught in the oh so familiar rent-boy meth cheap hotel scenario.

    So, what’s the deal with men so filled with raging hatred of women?

  • Geeezus People! It’s an election year. Of course Nancy’s going to go all Populist, and express “strong concerns.” And then on or about November 7, take support for the will of the People “off the table.”

    Hey Itchy, better to blaim Mittens & almost Governor Meg Whitman. Solamere was/is a place to keep an eye on neer do well son-o-Meg under the watchful and sober eye of Tagg so that the children of wealth and privilege stay out of the “lime light” and off the police log of “incidents.”
    Check Gawker or, better still, Calbuzz for the high-larious details.

    Every-day working class heores in our midst. That’s who I admire. Folks who put “other folks” before self, adulation, or expectation.
    So many, who do so much, and get little in return.

    Dear DDay, please enjoy your well-deserved time off. Sleep in. Rest. Rejuvenate. Refill the well. Spend some quality time with yourself, your wife, your family and friends.
    You will be missed.
    Your help-mates will be welcomed, and that’s good for all of us all.
    But, please, take a little time for all the things you’ve put off to ensure that We, the People are informed of all the necessary things we need to maintain an informed citizenry.

    Yep. What you said. He could have extended medicare to all Americans.
    He could have demanded some inquiries into the prior administrations illegal fuckery on the wars.
    He could have demanded an accounting of the financial collapse, and insisted on some prosecutions for fraud.
    He could have taken marijuana off of schedule 1.
    He could have a New, New Deal.
    He could have assembled a cabinet that wasn’t a full retread of centrists.
    He could have allowed the Bush Tax Cuts to expire, and then offered targeted tax cuts.
    He could have put on his comfy shoes and walked with labor in Wisconsin and other states seeking roll-backs on labor.
    He could have been so beloved by a waiting, needing Nation and guaranteed re-election without a need to do anything other than run on his record of acheivement.
    But he chose to not do what he could have done. Because he just isn’t that into us – We, the People.
    And that’s why, I cannot support his re-election, and for the very first time, I will be voting Green. Dr, Jill Stein has allowed me to vote for someone other than my previous choice, a write for FDR.

  • Mine’s 810 and I cannot qualify for a loan that’s not sub-prime. I need home repairs, and I have way too many friends in the constructin field who are desparate for work, but can’t get it because banks aren’t lending. They are more than willing to issue me a credit card at 18% apr (variable) but I will not repair on a credit card. By the time I’ve saved for the work, the bathtub will have fallen through the floor.
    That’s what “living within my means” means, in case the shite-bag who hides behind peoplerstrange is still trolling.

  • Bowman, you are right about water being one of our most important resources. Yet,the cost of buying privatized “clean” water. Veolia, etc., is on the increase, and surpasses the cost of gas per gallon.
    The public has already been conditioned to buy water in bottles. Beautiful people including Jen Aniston are spokes-models. Water from fuji sells quite well. Despite the fact that we still have clean, potable water piped to our homes and businesses, and the public water fountains hasn’t dented the increase of bottled water. I’ll bet the grocery store that you shop at has a water bottle filling station.
    One drop at a time, “consumers” will come to distrust the government to provide clean, potable water (and every teabagging fool will demand fewer publicly financed water and waste-water treatmetn plants) so that one day soon, the bottled, expensive kind will be the sole source of “trustworthy” useable water.
