Wow, is the government putting their product on the open market now. I thought that was what it meant to be on the “watch list”.

How could I have forgotten you Fuzzy! I will add right now! So sorry! How was TN??

This is nothing new. It has been around for many many years. i bet if one had a way to track who devolped it, it would lead right to the NSA’s door.
taggles said
Really RedD? I had heard about a woman complaining about something like this a couple of years ago and all the authorities told her she was crazy and I believe that is how it was left. She received no help.
They had me believing she might be nuts too.
And then you have the people who think their cable box is doing the same thing. Please tell me that isn’t true!
la-t-da said
I don’t know about you all, but I don’t take my cell phone to the bedroom anyway.
la-t-da said
Like I posted above, I am with RedD. That is why us lefties were so pissed when BO resigned FISA. When you get on a watch list, it is just a given that this is possible. Always left them know where you are…but I refuse to take them with me to the bathroom. That crosses the line!

Bambi on Single Payer today:
“The President was asked why, unlike most industrialized nations, he is not pursuing a single-payer health care system. He answered that such a system would be “hugely disruptive” because of the current systems reliance on employer based healthcare.
“We should be able to find a way to create a uniquely American solution to this problem that controls cost but preserves the innovation that is introduced in part with a free- market system,” the President said. ”
“Free -market system” Ah..The corporate, wing-nut answer to any economic question that will end up screwing the majority of American people. Penny Pritzker sold us out for those 700+ million in campaign bribes.
taggles said
Ayup, SHV! That’s pretty much the same answer as Grassley, Nelson, Snowe and LIEberman that I outlined in my previous post!
FRUCKER!

ok moderation for a weather comment? why does this always happen to me Taggles?
everytime I talk about the weather I am in moderation…silly
taggles said
i don’t know fuzzy. let me go get it out!
taggles said
I’ve never been to TN but I have some family members who vacation there and they love it!
la-t-da said
“uniquely American solution” That doesn’t sound good. Is that kinda like going to war to spread “democracy” with the agenda of “open markets” and “free trade”. Damn, I don’t want my health care outsourced to India. I can’t even understand their accents when I call for computer help.
indigogrrl said
On Sanford watch – can I put in for Friday, 4:30 pm??
taggles said
you’re in indigo!
latda, a uniquely american solution would have to include some outsourcing! Ugggggg! LOL
SHV said
. Is that kinda like going to war to spread “democracy”

Can’t link to the video right now taggles, but Homeland Security and their vendors may be the only people hiring these days.
I know we’ve talked about this before, but with the country in deep economic crisis and at war, should Obama be taking vacations in the Vineyard, playing golf every weekend, throwing parties every Wednesday, flying to campaign fundraisers in hollywood where he proclaims himself the best Potus since FDR. Would he be keeping such a schedule if the mainland were under attack. Would Hillary be keeping such a schedule period.

I think the “official” jobs report is due tomorrow but:
“Private-sector jobs in the U.S. fell 473,000 in June, according to a national employment report published Wednesday by payroll giant Automatic Data Processing Inc. and consultancy Macroeconomic Advisers.
The expected loss exceeds the 400,000 drop forecast by economists in a Dow Jones Newswires survey and suggests that layoffs may be worsening.”
The unemployment rate is expected to climb to 9.6%. The job reports talk about “lost jobs” they don’t mention that the economy needs to generate 150,000 new jobs/month just to cover new workers entering the job market.

From the Pam’s Coffee house link:
“…the blogs are closer to the truth than the party wants us to know. They used the blogs to their advantage during the election, and now they’re trying to figure out how to control what’s become a nuisance for them. The current method for the fundraiser is by not telling the truth.”
That is why I was trying to find words for the category of bloggers a week ago. I thought we needed to know where the “Brownshirts” are to keep them from regaining the “Prodigal Bots”. I hate to help the Prodigals, but we need them to start fighting with their own kind. Then we can just step away and let them work for us.
Sorry, you all. Revenge with a plan is sweet.
taggles said
yes, latda! there are definitely different categories of bots.

We need the “awakening” to fight with the “paid comatose”. The awakening are pissed in their betrayal and confusion.

OT
What happened to your internet show? Do you guys still broadcast on Blog talk radio?
Cinie said
Taggles, I’m not surprised that the Biden fundraiser was stage-managed at all. I speculated that it was a few days ago. So was the one they flew people in from Chicago to attend.
And, Latida, the woman in the picture is a volunteer for Obama for America on top of everything. Makes the Gibbs grilling that much more compelling.
taggles said
Really Cinie! She is an Obama for America volunteer. Wow, would have never evva evva guessed!
I guess all those town hall participants were hand picked and good ole chippy and helen were onto sumtim, huh?
garychapelhill said
I was listening to NPR today and they were talking to a guy who was there from SLDN who was basically parotting Obama talking points about full plates and being patient. The most vocal advocate for gay rights was a Republican! He is the mayor of San Diego, and while the pundits and SLDN guy said that gays are content to wait (as did the callers–of which there were exactly 0 gays). The mayor contended that there is nothing more urgent than civil rights and that neither tough economic times or political calculations should stop Obama from doing the right thing on gay civil rights.
taggles said
RedD, I do still broadcast sometimes. It’s been difficult because I’ve been busy with some family stuff on the weekends right now. But I am sure we will get back in the swing of things soon.
Thanks for asking!

gibbs is an asshole.

gibbs can…… I’m waiting Gary!

He called her “Exhibit A”

She is from appalachia! I’ve had just about enough of appalachia for the next month anyhow!

That is a scary picture, Latda. He looks predatory.
That poor woman.

That poor woman.

Exactly….That lady has a huge problem and Obama uses her for a “shill”. Lack of empathy the “sine qua non” of a sociopath.
Three Wickets said
How is Obama going to “find ways to immediately help” Exhibit A as he called Ms Smith who has kidney cancer and no insurance. How will “preventive care and cost effective care” help Ms Exhibit A. What a dunce.
la-t-da said
Thanks, Cinie. Like I said, I didn’t read the article. I guess my chills via the photo alone were on target…though it is a freaking hot here in the freaking desert. I want some of taggles rain.

EEEK!!!! This is really disgusting, and scary. If you live in Raleigh, you might want to check the bowl before sitting on the toilet!!
garychapelhill said
hold on, that’s just video of John Edwards. I’d recognize that slimeball anywhere!
la-t-da said
He and his campaign handlers are sociopaths. That is just so horrible to think that women still believes in him and dedicated her life (literally) to him to get her that health care. That is predatory!
Pat Johnson said
Apparently the pressure is really on in SC for Sanford to resign. I am still holding out for my date and time. Tuesday afternoon.
DYB said
“Exhibit A?” Will he try to treat her more “humanely,” like the gay community? Who comes up with this shit?!?!
madamab said
OMG Gary, W. T. F.
On the bright side, I see that Edwards got a haircut.
madamab said
DYB, I believe that Obama and his inner circle see everyone but themselves as sub-human. Anything they do is acceptable because there is a total disconnect between themselves, the privileged, entitled few, and the unwashed billions who exist to serve and sustain them.
Ayn Rand would have loved this group.
taggles said
Ewwwwwww Gary! WTH is that???? YUCK!
Pat Johnson said
Seems as though Hillary was urging Obama to come out strongly in favor of the Iranian protesters but he refused. Two days later he did just that.
Surprised, Hillary? He has been borrowing from you for years!
garychapelhill said
from the article : Ed Buchan, an environmental coordinator with the city’s Public Utilities Department, says the mass is believed to be tubifex worms, which form clusters or colonies of about a half-inch to 1-inch in diameter.
Also known as “sludge worms,” they are normally found in sediment of ponds and are sold as fish food in both live and dried forms.
Thomas Kwak, a biology professor at North Carolina State University’s Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, however, says the so-called monster is actually a cluster of invertebrates called byrozoan, which are commonly found in both the sea and fresh water environments.
I’m not convinced. this seems closer to the truth:
DYB said
Okay, here’s a joke I’ve seen circulating:
Farrah Fawcett dies and goes to heaven. At the gates God welcomes her and asks her if anything down there on Earth requires his immediate attention. Fawcett says: “Yes, God, the children! Save the children!” So God killed Michael Jackson.
Is it too soon?!
garychapelhill said
don’t forget Obama’s disregard for special olympians. BTW, did he ever have them to the WH like he promised?
madamab said
DYB, that made me laugh. I’m a bad, bad girl.
Of course Obama “waffled” on Iran for several days, then finally just imitated Hillary. The man has no clue whatsoever. It’s just pathetic. Obama’s Mama to the rescue once again!

EEEK!!!! This is really disgusting, and scary.

Karl Malden died today.
I wonder if he left a will?
He died so young, at the age of 97.
I heard he was gearing up for a reunion episode of the streets of san francisco.
It might have been what did him in. Running up the hills in San Francisco could have been a contributing factor of his death. But his friends and family said he was in great spirits and seemed healthy.
Karl never had a nose job though.

EricaLeigh said
Gary–NPR really lost me during the primary because of their negative portrayal of Hillary. They didn’t even recognize her years of service, her accomplishments, her preparation to be POTUS. They swung right into B0 worship. For god’s sake, he has a feather weight resume, she’s got all the gravitas of a galaxy, and they ditch her and go all out for B0. It was disgusting. I donated for years to them, but not any more–I can barely stand to turn on the channel.
As for B0 calling a cancer patient who’s standing right there ‘Exhibit A’, it just shows again what a louse he is.
I can’t wait until he’s Exhibit A for Worst Lying Duplicitous Vindictive Out-Of-His-League-President Ever.
