The woman is no more a capable leader than Winky Dink. Her life is an embarrassment only in that she continues to be of interest to the citizenry. She is also dangerous in that she numbs us to political extremes. By comparison, she makes Newt Gingri... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Husb2Sparkly/74 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 21:39:17 I have seen many coldly tell us that the recession was just that - a recession - and then go on to recite coldly all the definitional details that prove their case. While there's no arguing with that, the fact is, real people in real places - like Detroit, for one - who are suffering as a result of ... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Husb2Sparkly/73 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 11:50:03 (This is intended as a positive story. No doubt there are ways to parse it otherwise and if you wish to do that, knock yourself out. The story is true and it happened just yesterday.)

I was out of town yesterday. It was late in the afternoon and I was making my way back to the airport. My client ... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Husb2Sparkly/72 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 13:47:47 I lived through the Johnson years.

I have flashes of deja vu.

He inherited a war, too.

Yes, there's sand and desolation and frigid mountains instead of steaming jungles.

But the choppers are similar.

The armor our guys wear is better and thus, the mortal wounds fewer. And no longer do... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Husb2Sparkly/71 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 21:51:33 I'm guessing it will be the House that has no bill reach the floor. The Senate will vote on something that looks a lot like the Bipartisan Bullshit Baucus Bill. The House will have no part of it. The Senate will get intractable and that will be that.

If you're chronically ill, you're better off d... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Husb2Sparkly/70 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 14:15:20 Threads espousing getting out get unreced as soon as they're posted. So what's the deal? Are we now War Manger Underground? Or maybe a softer term ..... Its a nicer war cuz the 'good guys' are running it?

No one opposes war anymore?... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Husb2Sparkly/69 Tue, 06 Oct 2009 17:36:36 Now it seems we will be getting stuck with some bullshit that goes nowhere .... except to increase the wealth disparity and provide an illusion of universal coverage.

And we're all supposed to be grateful for this.

Yeah ............ http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Husb2Sparkly/68 Mon, 27 Jul 2009 22:48:04 The ones who actually make law and/or get enriched by passing laws one way over another don't want reform. They want legalized cash spigots installed on their wallets.

And until someone in that circle decides to side with us ........ we're gettin' another shit sandwich.

On the one hand was the first duly elected president in eight years, giving a speech in front of the actual Constitution of the United States. On the other hand is a former high level government official, now a *private citizen*, making some disgruntled remarks at the... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Husb2Sparkly/66 Thu, 21 May 2009 14:57:37 "..... he's gotten in Insurance Company donations."

A person who has a net worth of over a million dollars simply because they bought a ticky tacky little house 45 years ago and have lived in it - frugally - ever since, is not "the wealthy".

We just won a nice election. Wall to wall Our Side.

Now we have EVERY FUCKING RIGHT to say what's on our minds.

If you don't like the Inagural Invocator, it is OKAY to say so. Not liking that is not equal to calling for Obama to be unelected.

But it has other benefits, too. Right now the national mood is awful. People are angry. People are mistrustful. People are just plain scared.
