My wife’s union got a call from her union urging her to call our senators to support the “stimulus” bill. As our Senator’s are Kennedy and Kerry that would be a waste of time as they would support this president if it was a bill to declare English Muffins a war crime, even if she was inclined to support the bill (she’s not).
That is also why I haven’t called since it would be a waste of time in Massachusetts. I’ll do it with my congressman Olver since it is the least liberal district in the state (which isn’t saying much) and from meeting him a nice guy.
This is in my opinion a really lousy bill. It’s not as bad a first move as Clinton’s don’t ask don’t tell goes but its going to be a bad hit for him. Hopefully it will bring him down to earth. The speed of the bill suggests it. And unlike the Patriot act potentially tens of thousands of life are not in immediate danger. And if you think they are, talk to some depression era people about what hard times actually are.
Been watching since 6:30 and just not finding anything worth blogging on it so far.
6:59 a.m. It’s pretty bad when the only thing to talk about is “Drag Queen robs Burger King” But you can’t get a hit every time at bat.
7:01 a.m. Still talking the baby it was cute and she did glow when holding it. It still brings a smile to my face. As my kids are nearing the end of their teen years I’m strongly regretting not having a 3rd.
7:05 a.m. Obama could sign a winner with republicans and democrats. I still maintain that if the democrats thought this would work they would call for the vote and let Republicans take the hit for either filibustering it or voting against it.
7:07 a.m. That was a very acquired laugh by Mika interviewing the Cole’s captain.
7:10 a.m. Joe is going a little loud on it. Commander Lippold shows how calm and cool is. He doesn’t like this.
7:12 a.m. I do think this is a little disingenuous since this guy is not going to be let go.
7:15 a.m. I love that this show isn’t afraid to have a guest who will challenge liberal orthodoxy.
7:26 a.m. Mika: What is the rush if its going to be bad?
7:41 a.m. These guys just love that Obama says I screwed up. Pat does point out that the vetters are responsible, but I say that the fact that stuff like this wouldn’t have been considered a problem says a lot about the way these guys think.
7:54 a.m. Confessions of a Shopaholic. blah blah blah YAWN!
7:56 a.m. All about confidence says Woodward. He’s right about that.
8:08 a.m. Krugman we are nitpicking on this bill. Obama should go on the offensive on the bill.
8:12 a.m. Krugman seems to think that all president Bush did was cut taxes wasn’t there a ton of spending? Re-writes the history of the Reagan years. Has a point about the fed though.
8:15 a.m. The 90’s was gridlock not corporation, hey maybe that means we should do nothing. Krugman thinks doing nothing is horrible, that’s confirms my opinion.
8:29 a.m. Chris Matthews needs to be on Morning Joe more often, it seems to bring him back to sanity. Says he needs to explain what the bill does and why.
8:31 a.m. Dump stimulus it sounds like a porn ad. I think that the great talking bit is lessened without a teleprompter.
8:40 a.m. Matthews seems to have crowned Susan Collins as kingmaker. Maine votes like people from Maine, looking for deeper meaning in her victory this year is just wrong.
8:43 a.m. Barnicle must have seen this ad from Reason:
8:51 a.m. More Mika and the baby I expect this judge to get angry.
Aaron wasn’t a flashy player he just showed up every day and did his job better than almost everyone else in the game. He had a solid bat , 3 gold gloves and some speed on the bases (240 stolen bases). He is the all time leader in RBI’s and Total Bases and Extra Base Hits. He is in the top 5 all time in Games, at bats, Plate Appearances, Runs, Hits, Home Runs, Times on base, Sac Flies, Intentional Walks and a few less popular categories such as Grounded into Double Plays and Outs.
There is absolutely no way I would want Bonds on my team over Aaron. I don’t care what the numbers say. The only time I would choose Bonds over Aaron is if the bases were loaded and I needed one run for a world series.
Aaron is one of the all time class acts of the game. We were very lucky to have him.
There is shock and horror over the story of a woman who went in for an abortion, went into labor early delivered a live child and then, well lets quote the story:
What Williams and the Health Department say happened next has shocked people on both sides of the abortion debate: One of the clinic’s owners, who has no medical license, cut the infant’s umbilical cord. Williams says the woman placed the baby in a plastic biohazard bag and threw it out.
Doesn’t shock me one bit. We have a society that has no respect for life. The humanity of he unborn child is denied and it is treated as property. Large profits are made by the industry that does this and lawmakers even “catholic” lawmakers defend it with their votes.
Why would you expect this not to happen? What I wonder is how much does this stuff happen and people stay quiet?
This is the society that people have voted for and supported. Just remember if you are one of those people the day may come when your life might not be considered to have value, when you are considered a burden to society in general and your family in particular. And when that day comes and you are put away or worse, don’t complain.
And if you are Catholic and you support abortion either actively or passively; find a priest and make a good confession. God will give you the rest of your life to do so.
