Whew! Anything else? How 'bout the Chevy Volt... whaddaya think? And hey, did you like the veal? It's the early bird special all week...!



By the way, even though there may be hope for you, Bob Hope's still gone no matter what; so there's a lot of confusion for you to sort through... but you definitely need to do it.

AARP Willing To Negotiate On Social Security Retirement Age


Okay, so "let me be clear" too. I see the top leadership of AARP making convoluted­, obfuscatin­g statements that say, above all else, "cuts are coming and we sell retirement products."



Once the truth becomes clear, they're doomed - so they'd better get a better truth.

Privatization At The Heart Of Divisive Battles In Wisconsin


This is really the biggest story of the moment. Conservati­ves are installing a revolution in the American system, and the collapse into privatizat­ion that they are implementi­ng will quickly see the middle-cla­ss losing control over American civic life - once we hand over the operations of our government to private hands, they own that government and we'll never get it back.

Privatization At The Heart Of Divisive Battles In Wisconsin

Privatization At The Heart Of Divisive Battles In Wisconsin

"More than a hundred years ago, Wisconsin progressives launched a movement founded on the opposite principle: If the risks inherent in life in the modern age can be shared and distributed, they can be lessened for all. That insight led to a first-of-its-kind statewide unemployment insurance system and movement toward a state-funded pension and compensation for injured workers."

Japan Nuclear Crisis: Operator Of Damaged Plant Suspends Clean-Up Due To Rising Radiation Levels


Maybe Harold Camping, preaching the 'end of the world', was really onto something - the facts about Fukushima read like an instructio­n manual for ending life on earth.

So, good goin' homosapien­s - we were given paradise, and all we did was throw the dice and make bad bet after bad bet; until there were no more chips, no more dealers, and no more us.

Fukushima: It's much worse than you think - Features - Al Jazeera English

"Until we know how to safely dispose of the radioactive materials generated by nuclear plants, we should postpone these activities so as not to cause further harm to future generations," he explained. "To do otherwise is simply an immoral act, and that is my belief, both as a scientist and as a survivor of the Hiroshima atomic bombing."

Yes, me too!... and you're right - if dems sit on their hands about Vitter, then they have married the pooch and don't deserve our respect - or votes.

Rachel Maddow: Anthony Weiner Resignation Will Damage Democrats 'For A Generation' (VIDEO)


Startling remarks by Maddow, and they ring so very true. The whole Weiner episode was, as she says, "the media covering the media ending a man's career."



I totally agree with Rachel about the state of news coverage in America - it's an endless parade of runway models with clipboards and hairdos, shoving tabloid news through the airwaves and hawking books by fellow know-nothi­ngs.



...by the way, Maddow's series of comments on America currently running on MSNBC make me ache with desire for the America she describes - that one that was trying to be great, and that the right is deconstruc­ting and ruining for all but the wealthy.

Maddow - "the media covering the media ending a man's career."

Rachel Maddow: Anthony Weiner Resignation Will Damage Democrats 'For A Generation' (VIDEO)

Maddow ended by addressing Democrats. She issued a dire warning.

"Congratulations, Democrats," she said. "In an era of unhinged, ideological, big money conservative media that is wholly and admittedly divorced from the precepts of journalism, in hounding Anthony Weiner into resigning ... you have just fed and unleashed this beast onto yourselves, probably for a generation."

She's right.

Michele Bachmann Talks Evolution, Intelligent Design At Republican Leadership Conference 2011


If intelligen­t design existed - she wouldn't. No creator worth his galaxy would cough up a joke like Bachmann - most likely she's just a flaming asteroid that's wandered too close to earth. They usually burn up on entry; if she doesn't, look for another big crater in Arizona - that's where crazy goes these days...

Scott Beason Sparks Criticism With 'Aborigines' Remark


When it comes to Weiner - you guys are full of it!



Dems are quite correct to have made Weiner resign - it was the ethical thing to do. But you and your pals still like your Vitter - who's still in Congress and who actually committed a crime and dragged his wife on stage to cringe for him - while your other pal, mens room Craig, also used his wife to bolster a 'defense', and continues on as another 'honorable­' GOP politician­.



So I can see why you really need that Weiner - otherwise we might talk about the 'honor' within the GOP.

Ginger Lee Talks Anthony Weiner Photo Scandal: 'He Asked Me To Lie... I Think He Should Resign' (VIDEO)


It's really breathtaki­ng; this guy's cooked in every direction. I can see that he walked into all by himself, but neverthele­ss I sincerely wish that he and his family could avoid the force of all this pain. Unlike with the GOP keeping Vitter and Craig in political office, the left will follow the moral direction of its own rhetoric and remove Weiner from the public arena.

Carl Sorabella, Massachusetts Man, Fired After Disclosing Wife's Cancer


I wish I could de-list my house with that real estate agency. That business woman has no business in my town. It's bad enough the entire middle-cla­ss is in a brutal financial crises; now we're watching a spiritual crises crush whatever moral capital we have built up in over 2 centuries of American civilizati­on. Here is an American business person knowingly - and with a tortured rationale - throwing a family into additional crises, as part of a new viscousnes­s that is sweeping through the dark hearts of far too many conservati­ves. We should fight against this tooth and nail - and to the end.

North Carolina GOP Overrides Veto, Axes Planned Parenthood Funding


Then go tell that young woman over there why you will deny her the medical care she seeks. Explain to her why she must carry that child to term though she is frantic to not do so. And take a picture of yourself doing so and then send it to me - I gotta see that face!

North Carolina GOP Overrides Veto, Axes Planned Parenthood Funding


Hopefully the right will pay dearly for this travesty - it's not inevitable­, but millions of people will pray for it, and millions will vote for their defeat. Women are not slaves to the opinions of others and the rest of us must protect them from those who think otherwise.



But there's no way around it - it's a sad day for reason and enlightenm­ent.
