I just read that legendary folk guitarist Bert Jansch passed away at age 67 in a hospice in London. My ignorance must be showing as I cannot recall ever having heard of this gentleman and I thought i had some savvy when it came down to older music/musicians. If any one has some info,I would be more than grateful for the pleasure of reading your thoughts,etc.Muchos Gracias in advance or retreat.
I’m sitting here watching my borough’s election results come in. Mostly looking good for candidates and proposotions I care about but looking sad as usual for voter numbers in municipal elections. Dang.
Our home rule cities and boroughs have an enormous amount of effect on our lives here. They have more decision making ability than in many other places/counties across America.
Home rule was granted by the state constitution and there’s no Dillon’s rule provisions here.
We have something a whole lot of other people want. I wish we could get more.folks out to vote to make use of these rights. Dang.
Now C4P are suggesting that Palin run as a third party candidate and pick up “Herb” Cain as her VP running mate. Can you imagine anyone playing second fiddle to a fraud?
That is such a sad story for a woman who was so brave and strong in her fight for the rights of the workers. And how awful that the insurance company chose to play games with a woman’s life.
So what are we thinking Christie’s bowing out and Perry’s polls plummeting are going to do to SP’s decision to run or not? For once I’m almost hoping she’ll get in. She’ll have a clear shot at the Tea Party contingent, but not much else. She’ll avoid debates.
I think it’s more likely though that she’ll get in as a third party candidate – claiming to not be partisan, and because she’s a third party she won’t have to/be able to participate in Republican debates.
That’s what I have been thinking. She will get in as a third wheel, suck money out of tea-partiers, fly around on private jets and campaign on facebook. She knows she can’t win, she doesn’t want to win. She doesn’t want to govern, she wants to campaign. It’s the beauty queen mentality. Good part of that strategy is she will split the conservative vote.
She’s just NOW having her lawyers find out when the state filing deadlines are? Jeez… Wouldn’t you have done this a long time ago? The woman is extremely lazy. I’ll bet she crammed the night before her finals in college, too. Memorize and purge. Just like her bingeing.
Lazy and cheap. She wouldn’t want to part with any of her donated funds to do things like properly run a campaign. And she has been able to avoid all those early debates. Now that Christie is definitely out, she also wouldn’t have to worry about the kinds of comments he would make about her. I don’t care for him, except that he doesn’t pull any punches and I doubt that he has much to say about Palin that she would want to hear.
So she’s thinkin’ of officialin’-ly signin’ ontuh the Ship of Fools, uh, Republican nominee wannabees– for the Voyage of the Damed, uh Republican debates?
Hard not to think about a certain unnamed half-term governor while listening to Chris Christie speak fairly convincingly about not thinking it was right to leave the job he was elected to do after just 2 years. Also, unlike the aforementioned half-term governor, it didn’t seem like he was concerned about the presidency being too shackle-y.
Gay Perry(the Texas guv,not the city in France,Europe) has a problem with the name of a hunting lease camp his parents purchased years ago. Seems there is a rock at this camp with the name N____rhead painted on it. Perry claims he has seen the rock and the name was painted over,so he is not a racist. I,in my usual serious demeanor,casually mentioned that klear-kote doesn’t exactly cover the offending words,no matter how many times it is applied.Am waiting official reply from Perry’s camp. Not holding my breath. Most of the preceding story is true.
I think it may have happened this way. I get more fed up every day as the corporate money grab becomes even more blatant. Had a customer last night that blamed the president for our store closing. WTF?
One thing that does not seem to change is the human nature to blame. It is so much easier than examining your own actions or working to change things.
Keep you spirits up…hopefully something good will come from the store closing.
I ran across this on IM, Elizabeth Warren at the beginning of video crystallizes why deregulation got us where we are today. I hope she wins her bid for office to help put some common sense back into the mayhem the money changers have brought upon us. http://tinyurl.com/3d8gjcx

The propositions I voted for are looking good to pass too, along with the proposotians 🙂
No worse than Walmart taking out life insurance policies on their employees to be paid to…..
Wal-Mart Corp.
Despicable!

the back of the bus deniers sure sound like they want the Black guy at the back of Palin’s bus,if they let him on in the first instance.
This picture reminds me of the saying “laughed so hard, tears trickled down my leg”.

so terribly sorry.

I am joining you in a moment of silent reflection.
I don’t suppose anyone knows which company was her ‘health care provider’, do they?

Excellent!
LOVE IT!!!
Just when you thought it was safe to assume Palin might not run, her lawyers call states to query filing rules:
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1011/65115.html
She’s just NOW having her lawyers find out when the state filing deadlines are? Jeez… Wouldn’t you have done this a long time ago? The woman is extremely lazy. I’ll bet she crammed the night before her finals in college, too. Memorize and purge. Just like her bingeing.

Catch the jewelry she’s still wearing! What a maroon. She has a long way to go before she has the brains to be a washed up bimbo.
So she’s thinkin’ of officialin’-ly signin’ ontuh the Ship of Fools, uh, Republican nominee wannabees– for the Voyage of the Damed, uh Republican debates?

Okay. It’s because I think you need a laugh that I’m linking you to a funny thing over at Miss Juanita Jean’s place right now:

Is it ironic that they painted over the wording in WHITE PAINT?
Whitewashing the issue? Didn’t work well, did it?
Just the names and facts have been changed, to protect the innocent. 🙂
Thanks, Elsie. The next post (about that redneck idjit Hank Williams, Jr.) is good, too.
