Or Medicare? Are we too late? Do we need to primary him? I am seriously upset. Your thoughts? Damn.

(Link) It's sometimes useful to see ourselves as others do, and reports this Independence Day weekend in a couple of English-speaking newspapers usually sympathetic to the United States are sobering. Britain's Daily Telegraph — a conservative paper and that country's bestselling broadsheet — diagnoses us as a nation depressed, and cites polling data describing alarming percentages of Americans who expect their own economic situation to deteriorate further and that of their children to be worse...

One of them directly faces my window. Huey is running against Janice Hahn in our Congressional District, for the seat vacated by Jane Harman. I feel like vandalizing that damn sign. I won't. But I sure feel like it. Goddamn teabagger. Today, I got two ginormous Janice Hahn signs; one of them directly faces my neighbors. :evilgrin:

Obama/FEDs Cave to Patient Pressure on Safe Access! Thursday, June 2, 2011 at 11:59PM In a monumentally historic move made by the Obama Administration via comments from Attorney General Eric Holder, the Feds announced today that they would begin to work with Governors and State lawmakers in seeking a legal compromise that allows for State-sponsored medical cannabis dispensaries to be legal on the Federal level. Holder's comments were brief and somewhat vague, but certainly hugely beneficial n...

Besides their own enrichment, I mean. Everywhere I look, I see nothing but negativity from them. I guess what triggered me was seeing the post about the San Joaquin River. They deny women the right to choose. They deny our need for clean water, clean air, safe food and medicines... ALL negative. Do they see anything in a positive light? :shrug:

And they keep being members while your friends are being ts'd... The moderators cannot see everyone who's an asshole. Use the alert function. I know it takes time, but if you really want to get rid of the disruptors, this is how you do it. Don't answer them, don't get into fights with them... Alert. It will help the moderators build a case against these people. And if they truly deserve to be ts'd...eventually they will be. Just my 2 cents...

I am grateful to every mother who has given us a child That gift brings so much joy to us who are lucky enough to know that new life Otherwise our world is small, pale, sad, stuck. So I say to every mom Thank you for your gift of love to us. We would be so much poorer without the gift you bore~ Your child. © 2011 MLC

But I balk at giving him any money. I don't understand why I feel this way, but I do. Anyone else? It's a very distinct, uncomfortable feeling...

I don't care whose child it is, or if they should have known better, or what... That child's death is wrong. We should have no part of it. Period. Remember this? War is not healthy for children and other living things.

We deny ourselves the lessons that could be learned from it. Discuss.

You have a bumper sticker for the candidate you want. Not their candidate. Could you be fired for that? I'll bet you could. Only they'd use some trumped-up excuse for it. Kind of like age discrimination is how I see it... *sigh*

Is this a consequence of their own education? Or what? I am genuinely puzzled. Who can tell me? :shrug:

Oh hell yeah! This is what I hoped for, and did not expect. :yourock: Mr. President!

Yes, I saw the thread... It IS an April Fool's Day Joke, of course! I thank all of you for your love! I am honored to be a member here... And to have so many good friends as well! :loveya: :grouphug: :loveya:

I have never condoned its use, ever. I never will. It was horrifying when the Bush administration used it. It was just another strike against him and everything he stood for. But now? Obama condones it. Our Democratic President, the one we had so much hope for, so many dreams ... I am sickened beyond belief. He is ordering this in our names. Where does it end? So much abuse, so many wrong-headed ideas. I weep for my country... And all of us living in it.

I hear the birds call outside my window and the news says we’re in for a revolution how can it be? The world is quiet outside my window is there a war brewing? I read the news and it sounds so dire but the sea was calm the sky is tranquil the sunset beautiful how can there be war the cool spring breeze curls past my arm but yet you say we are in for war I’m not afraid of this revolution It’s time © 2011 MLC

The Skin Gun: Behold! (Link)

I'll start... Here I am reading at Tuesday night's open mic: (Image)

When companies abuse their people, don't pay them right, don't provide good benefits (including retirement, BTW) and generally run those employees into the ground... THEN unions come into being. It is an unfortunate fact, but there it is. We always need to have the right to organize. Otherwise, we are nothing but slave labor. My 2 cents...
