Morning Widdershins: Chuck Says, Don’t Give Up
Posted by: madamab on: September 30, 2009
Well, this is interesting. I got this email from Senator Chuck Schumer after the Senate Finance Committee rejected the public option yesterday. Dear XXXXX, I wanted to give you quick update about our work to pass a public health care option. My amendment to add a public option to the Senate Finance Committee bill came [...]
Morning Widdershins: What is the Role of Government?
Posted by: chatblu on: September 29, 2009
There is an ongoing kerfuffle between left and right as to the actual role, practice, and scope of government, particularly of the federal government. “We the people” live in the middle of this ongoing fracas, trying desperately to live out our lives to the best of our ability. On the left, we have people who [...]

It seems as if we are living in a world where common sense, compassion and yes, decency, have been tossed by the wayside in order to promote the interests of the hatemongering, self-centered and often mentally ill over the interests of the well-intentioned, good-hearted and generally sane, which latter group vastly outnumbers the former. Look [...]
Universal Health Care: The Undocumented
Posted by: chatblu on: September 27, 2009
One of the major sticking points in the Senate committees when debating health “insurance” reform appears to be the coverage of undocumented persons. I live in south Florida, and I have only to glance at my property tax assessment to realize what a costly proposition this is: it is estimated that roughly 2 of each [...]

Politico reports: Clif Maloney, the 71-year-old husband of Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) died yesterday while on a mountain climbing expedition in Tibet, the congresswoman’s office has confirmed. Apparently Mr. Maloney, an avid climber, had just achieved his fondest dream: reaching the summit of a 27,000-foot mountain called Cho Oyu, the sixth-highest in the world. He passed [...]
Morning Widdershins: Why Is There Abstinence in Sex Education?
Posted by: madamab on: September 26, 2009
Bear with me. I know this is a weird question. But I signed NOW’s petition to ask my Senators to protect reproductive rights for women, and this is the email I got in return: Dear XXXXX, Thank you for writing to me to express your concerns about attempts to restrict access to family planning and [...]
Refoundation: By Chatblu

Glenn Beck has been going on and on ad nauseum about the necessity of “refounding” the nation, as I suppose that he thinks that we have foundered. (I watch him from time to time just to see what the hell he’s up to now.) He is looking to build a list of 56 worthy individuals [...]
Morning Widdershins: United Nations Nuttiness
Posted by: madamab on: September 24, 2009
First of all, may I just say that the United Nations General Assembly has absolutely ruined my city? They shut down Central Park for hours last night. Newsflash – people need to go through the park to, like, get home and stuff? And to think this will be going on for another week! All for [...]
Morning Widdershins: Obama’s Liberal Report Card
Posted by: madamab on: September 23, 2009
Obama sure has been a busy President lately. Let’s see how liberal he’s been in the past week or so, shall we? Actions, not words, of course. Started Developing a New, Improved Missile Defense Shield (Star Wars) Catapulted the Propaganda for the Baucus Insurance Industry Wealth Transfer Plan Waffled and Surged in Afghanistan Interfered In [...]

Here is my recommendation for those who are awakening from their smitten support of the Lightbringer. It is admittedly purloined from the 12 step programs, and from cult deprogramming as well, since the adulation of The One appears to be a combination of these problems. During the campaign we would have had to resort to [...]
