lurkinlil commented on the diary post Chained CPI Helps Fund Corporate Tax Breaks and Trickle Down by masaccio.
Lew thinks that’s not a problem because it’s all protein. And it’s not a problem for the administration’s rich clients, whose life-style is utterly unaffected by inflation. For the 99%, the Chained CPI assumes that you are just as happy with canned catfood as you were with fresh salmon.
Ya know, there’s an even cheaper source [...]

Thank you Twain and lokywoky @14.
So Jesus (and not Joe Smith) will be split down the middle with half in Israel and and half in Missouri? Will one get the right half and the other the left? Will it be a front back split, or a top/bottom?? I wonder how that will work? /s

Stupid question here:
Are these actual vote tabulations, or are these poll numbers of how people said they voted?? -

Could someone please tell me what he said? My old computer/software doesn’t allow me to view video.

Thanks for the helpful description. I have seen numerous references to the ‘tent’, but nothing about the protesters being gassed.

I may not be the only reader on here who can’t access the videos since we can’t afford broadband. Would very much appreciate any still photographs that are available on this activity
When posting video, please always give a brief summary of what is in the video, so those of us who cannot access it will be able to know what the rest of you are able to see.
Many thanks to all who are continuously covering the various Occupy activities.

Were these a**holes paid above and beyond their already generous salaries for this riduculous sham? If so, since they failed to accomplish anything, I think they should be required to return the money.

lurkinlil commented on the diary post Sacrifice? How dare they speak of sacrifice! by Liz Berry.
Thanks, Liz, for another inspiring diary! I wish I could vote for you. Good luck in your campaign! Yes, how dare they? How dare they ask for the poorest of the poor to give up even more, when they offer not a penny of sacrifice from themselves? They are the ones who have made the [...]

lurkinlil commented on the diary post Why Isn’t NYPD’s Union Screaming Bloody Murder? by TobyWollin.
This cop’s name, face, badge number needs to be made very, very public, similar to Tony Bolney’s. Not so much his home address, etc., but he definitely needs some public exposure.

Thanks for the image.
We need one of these for each politician up for re-election in 2012.
This idea could be effectively used by those working on the ‘scorecard’ project.

Maybe use “volunteer labor” for installation???? Maybe use those “hiring incentives” to hire the unemployed???? Maybe use donations to purchase equipment, etc. Maybe just lame suggestions from me????

Doggies are standing cross-legged, wanting to go out for bed-time pee. Gotta go now.
Thanks, again, one and all for the work you are doing here. I don’t watch TV or read dead trees anymore. I have been relying on FDL for almost all of my news for the past couple of years. I really appreciate all the effort that is put forth here. You’re a great bunch of humanity.

OK, that wasn’t so bad. Guess I’m not too old to learn some new tricks.
So here’s the link for the Bush article I quoted from above (practice makes perfect!):
Bush’s Toronto Visit Cancelled Amid Mass Public Pressure for Arrest
I suppose it’s good to practice when there aren’t a lot of others around to witness any goofs.

Thanks, mzchief. I’ll try now….
Here’s another eye opener (for me, anyway):

ust think for a minute—what would happen if the United States abstained when the Palestinian question comes before the UN Security Council in the next week or two?

lurkinlil commented on the blog post NYPD’s Iron-Handed Response to Occupy Wall Street
and another quote from the bush article:
Instead, the rest of the world has taking over for us as we’ve vacated the leadership stage. The conscience vacuum has been filled by Canadians and others worldwide who’ve decide to get up and stand up and fight against what we’ve become. At best how embarrassing is that we no longer stand for justice, peace, and humanity. At worst, we’re the 800lb fascist in the room pointing fingers at the ghost of Mother Teresa, Mahatma Ghandi, and Martin Luther King. What a disgrace!
Sorry, I don’t know how to do the link.

About time someone stands up to these creeps. There is a link to another article on that same page about Bush being rejected recently.
Bush’s Toronto Visit Cancelled Amid Mass Public Pressure for Arrest
Bush was scheduled to speak Sept. 20 to about 150 people at an invitation-only breakfast hosted by Tyndale University College and Seminary, home to about 1,400 students at two campuses in Toronto’s north end.
As it stands, the main stream media in the USA has be absolutely silent on the international rejection of George W. Bush.
‘US media silence serves a purpose for the establishment. This is an embarrassment, a disgrace that America does NOT want to talk about or face. The fact that we, our culture and society, are complicit in the wholesale criminal acts of this pathetic Head of the Torture Snake is something that we don’t want to talk about. So silence works best.
