moistenedbink commented on the diary post Hey, Did You Happen to See the Most Beautiful Girl in the World? by Jane Hamsher.
I remember how hard it was for you to lose Kobe. Our pets, with their shorter life spans, seem to be here to teach us humans about love and loss. It never gets easier though, no matter how many times we have to go through it. Embrace what you had together. I still pine almost [...]

Geez, I average 10-20 times more facebook recommends on my hyperlocal small town Patch.com articles than she has showing on this effort of hers. And yet somehow I don’t get anywhere near the amount of pay per story that she does.

moistenedbink wrote a new diary post: Spy Occupy Supply on the News
Local NBC affiliate WJAR channel 10 hit Occupy Providence to get some reaction to Time Magazine’s Person of the year pick. The Occupy Supply gear was in full view during the NBC interview. My contact gave me the heads up today. I delivered some gear to Occupy Providence on Dec. 11 th and today I heard back [...] -
moistenedbink commented on the blog post But We Don’t Want The Irish….
Their payoff matrix is different. Middle class kids can make $75,000 out of school if they get a solid degree in engineering, or a job at an investment bank. But most poor kids who study hard and go to college are not going to get one of those jobs. That doesn’t make any f=ng sense. No matter what class you came “from”, if you go to college and work hard you theoretically have the same shot as any graduate to grab an engineering job. Except in her world you have to have connections to get a job and poor people don’t have those, I guess…I don’t know – her writing is so weird that it ends up not making any sense at all. I guess she expects that the people who read her will understand her gibberish. She is a waste of ink, paper and internet space. I guess she serves a purpose to her masters but what a horrid human being.

moistenedbink wrote a new diary post: Occupy Providence
I have always loved my state but watching how the occupations are being manhandled and mishandled across the country I have to say I love my state even more. Rhode Island and Providence Plantations has the distinction of being the smallest state with the longest state name. We have been a contradiction in terms from our beginning. [...] -

moistenedbink commented on the blog post If It Illustrates The Nonesuch Nomenclature
Thin lips combined with either dead or crazy eyes is a warning to step away from that person. That instinct has always worked for me. As well as the warning signs of a serial killer – the triad of bed wetter, fire starter and animal abuser…heed my words people.

I have never trusted anyone with thin lips and dead or crazy eyes. Bad combination. This couple has all three.

moistenedbink commented on the blog post Come Saturday Morning: More Occupy Sites Big Media Won’t Tell You About, And Other Observations
Occupy Providence is still going well, still occupying Burnside Park. The police and EMS love them as their mere 24/7 presence in the park has deterred crime and drug overdoses and cut down on their calls. The politicians have all walked down from the State House to talk to them and even though the mayor has said he was going to go through the courts to evict them it hasn’t been too much of a priority. The Providence City Council will be voting shortly on resolution in support of the occupation. Tonight at 6pm is occupy the night and tomorrow at noon is a march.

moistenedbink commented on the blog post Sandusky Goes on National TV, Admits to Showering With Boys, Denies Abuse
When he admits that he touched boys on the leg, but not with sexual “intent” that did it for me. Why are you touching little boys legs at all? And maybe in his warped mind he wasn’t intending anything sexual but it just happened.
U
nfortunately there is so much of this in sports, scouts, church that a lot of the men who covered it up or brushed it off as unimportant may themselves have been victims at one time and don’t wish to revisit what happened to them because they have tamped it so far down. -
moistenedbink commented on the blog post Oligarchy Is the Problem
My 86 year old, history teacher father always points out to me that this has always been the case. During the great depression there were debutantes whose balls cost $25,000 and it was written about breathlessly in the papers while the rest of the country starved. The robber barons of the industrial age were horrid but they lived closer in amongst the people than the wealthy do today. They also knew that their own employees needed a wage that could allow them to purchase the products they were making and that benefited everyone and brought the wages they paid out back to their companies profits. In the post WW2 years there seemed to be a detente when the oligarchy let the workers gain a comfortable living, a corporate job for life and a dignified retirement. It didn’t cost them much to keep the 99% content and occupied. But somehow more than enough wasn’t enough and the top 1% had to have more. Now that the 99% have been outsourced, kicked to the curb, dumbed down, beaten down and forced to accept half the income they used to get while the cost of living ever rises, now that the 99% can’t afford the bread & circuses that kept us in stupor anymore, now that there are too many corporations that depend on internet commerce that the powers cannot shut it down while the 99% are realizing that we are all getting screwed and it is a systemic problem not an individual failing we are reaching the new tipping point. Remember 99% is more than 1%.

moistenedbink commented on the blog post FDL Movie Night: “Accidental Icon, The Real Gidget Story”
I grew up in Narragansett, RI, the East Coast Capitol of surfing in the 60′s/70′s and never learned to surf. I still kick myself that, although a tomboy, I watched the guys surf instead of participating. I have a friend who took up surfing at age 40 (25 years ago) and she is one of the grand dames of Narragansett today.

moistenedbink commented on the blog post Welcome To The Occupation
I declared bankruptcy this year after years of asking for a reduction in my interest rate on my credit cards. Got up to 29.99%. Even gave one of the a $9,000 payment out of my 401K and they refused to reduce. Once I got past the “shame” of not paying I finally realized that I was acting in my economic self interest, just like investors, traders and bankers do. I wish I had done in a couple of years ago, but what finally allowed me to do it with a clear conscience was the systemic mortgage fraud. I’d tell you all not to be afraid to pull the plug.

moistenedbink commented on the blog post Juvenilia, Juvenalia.. Let’s Call The Whole Thing Off
Oh, poor Michelle, she really has no idea that her husband is gay. Look at her face, expecting him to be happy with this photo opp. He is thinking, oh I have to be careful, this won’t look good and ends up using a small bite with teeth, instead of a big gulp. That makes him look like he doesn’t have cock experience and it makes men withdraw from the too much teeth/bite effect.

moistenedbink commented on the blog post America Unmoored – Elite Failure Leads to Utter Confusion
I was chomping at the bit for pitchforks and torches during the first term of Bush the lesser. But the economy was still good then and people could afford the bread and circuses and no one would join me. I’ve done the letter writing, phone calling, educating other road for 25 years. I’m tired, I’m exhausted. I work full time and freelance and it all adds up to a 7day work week most weeks. I still get infuriated with the stupid, ignorant, ill informed things that these political clowns say (and get away with unchallenged in the main street media – ATTN: Media – it is not misconstrued, or misspoke – IT IS THAT THEY LIED!It is not libel or slander to point that out!)
I find myself withdrawing just to protect my health. And I fear that is what will happen to the masses. It is like when insurance companies wear you down when you try to file a claim, hoping you will give up. That is what the elites want. We can’t be distracted by bread and circuses anymore so they will shock doctrine us into accepting whatever crumbs they are willing to provide and make us happy to accept them.
The only hope is that while it is one thing to control people who never had anything, it is much harder to control people who once had decent pay, decent homes, a little vacation and a nice ride once you snatch it all away.
Especially when they find out you stole it from them and lied about it. - Load More
