Yeah, Larry, it tells me something too.

in Change?, M.I.L.K., Sexist Onslaught

It tells me you’re a putz.

“So, I think, while I would prefer to believe otherwise, I guess my experience with my two and a half year old twin daughters who were not given dolls and who were given trucks, and found themselves saying to each other, look, daddy truck is carrying the baby truck, tells me something.” — Larry Summers, in the address he gave at Harvard on the lack of women in the highest ranks of science and engineering. Summers was later forced to resign as president of Harvard in the resulting firestorm.

He is now at the top of a very short list to become obama’s Treasury Secretary.

The reason women don’t advance in competitive professional environments is because they’re just not willing to squelch their gooey desire to spend ALL THEIR TIME WITH THEIR CHILDREN.

Which explains why Sarah Palin is a freak. And why Hillary Clinton is a cold bitch.

Did you know that the intellectual inferiority of black people was considered scientifically beyond reproach until well into the 20th Century? Would obama appoint someone to his cabinet who claimed eugenics has a basis in scientific fact?

WELL THEY’RE NOT HERE!! You are right - where are they?

All of those who want a new party to form, the one person I know of that is toying with the idea seriously is Lynn Forester de Rothschild. She has asked for input to future ventures. I have written to her a few times. She has answered once, and in a very positive way, though not completely committal.

she can be reached at lyn@together4us.com

I also am a homeschooler! Two daughters also! Both in college, one an undergrad, the other a nurse going back to get an advanced degree.

Yes, Sarah is one of ‘us’ in the sense that she does what is right, not what the pundits and the hierarchy pushes her to do. She probably could never lie well. That makes her unique in our political culture.

I like her. This morning I sent her a nice thank you card. I wrote a note of admiration and thanks for her willingness to take us on as a nation and offer her service.

I am planning to do a pastel portrait or her and send it to her on completion. My art is always signed with Heneri and the date in the bottom right hand corner. Only deserving people or someone who bought it at a funraiser for a worthy organization that I support have a Heneri.

Heneri 11.08.08 at 1:21 pm

Kat in your hat:

Life socializes home schooled kids. School systems teach them to be followers instead of leaders. The nearest model of a social system that mimics a school is a prison. (some Ivy league school study determined that)

Anyway, you incorporate schooling into daily living. You use all kinds of outside trips, activities, and day to day life to have the child learn to communicate and participate. There are organized activities from time to time with others, but they are not necessary. We went ot Operas, Plays, philharmonic events, knew violin teachers, piano teachers, voice teachers, I coached a co-op debate team. My hubby took the girls on motorcycle trips. I took them to dog shows where we showed our champion Boxers.

The older daughter did many things with and for her grandmother when she learned to drive. My younger daugher was a close companion of my mother in law when she did church volunteer work.

My girls can go anywhere and do anything without being shy. My youngest can play 11 musical instruments, and she sings. She has appeared in local musical productions, and has performed with a local jazz band. She sings and plays the piano in a wonderful individual performance when called upon to volunteer at local nursing homes.

Does that answer your questions about socialization?

gordana 11.08.08 at 1:21 pm

This is a REPOST - again (I seem to be missing the boat!!)

#141 Heneri -

If THAT ONE was born in Kenya, I would find it very hard for him to have been ’smuggled’ out - one cannot just take a baby across borders without some kind of documentation.

My children had dual BC’s. One from the country they were born in and the second one from the US State Department (because both parents were US citizens). Each child had to be on a passport in order to travel. (this issue has become too convoluted)

One thing that keeps popping in my head, is the possibility that Obama was not his biological father but Frank Marshall Davis (who was already married and could not acknowledge paternity). That might prove to be too embarrassing and there would be too much to retract, therefore the unwillingness to offer the necessary proof. MO did say that there was nothing to keep him from becoming the POTUS. Just another angle - not that I trust her words either.

I just wish this whole rotten mess could be resolved so that we can get on with the real issues at hand., i.e. how the election was stolen with dirty money. More relevant, I think, is that we should be FOLLOWING THE MONEY TRAIL!!!!

JMHO,

Dances: Yuck. It’s so hard to know if one is getting a good teacher. Showing up on time and following the workbook is one thing. How do you test whether or not a teacher has good judgment and has honor? Or that they have decent morals and common sense…how in the world can that be tested?

I’m fed up with the state of our education system. Whole thing seems to have an agenda.

38

Grizzly 11.08.08 at 1:28 pm

Larry Summers was experimenting on his daughters?

Good Lord!

He sounds as nutty as John B. Watson. Watson was the psyhchologist who used his son, “Little Albert” in his fear conditioning experiments. As an infant, Watson scared the shit of the crib bound infant by first letting him get used to a white rat in his crib (he was playing with it) and then, after Little Albert liked his new toy, hit a loud gong every time the baby touched the rat. It wasn’t long before Little Albert screamed in fear every time he saw the white rodent. Little Albert’s fear was so strong, that he began to generalize it and associate anything white and furry with terror. (Hmmm, maybe Obama had a Little Albert childhood).

Summers sounds like he fits the mold of nutty professor. Willing to screw up his daughters for life all in the name of science.

39

kat in your hat 11.08.08 at 1:28 pm

Heneri, yes…but I don’t know how to gauge socialization. It happens not just through interaction but also observing. If I homeschooled my kids, I would want to make sure they are also with their own age group on a regular basis somehow. I dunno just thinking about stuff.

I’ll be back in a few. Need lunch.

SouthernGAL68 11.08.08 at 1:30 pm

Here is the MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION, but first I want to ask yall this … Do yall remember what happened to Bill Clinton? Not long have he got into office, ALL those woman came out of the woodwork screaming “sexual harrassment”!

How long do yall think it will be before old BO’s affiliations start popping up????? Or do yall think they have been forever silenced???

41

DancesWithPumas 11.08.08 at 1:33 pm

All the home schooled kids I’ve ever met seemed well ground / adjusted, mature, bright, and self-confident.
Socialization comes through participation in activites with their home schooled peers.

atypical 11.08.08 at 1:34 pm

11.08.08 at 1:18 pm

Right from the primaries it has been evident that Rove was working to help the Dems. We concluded that it was because they wanted BO as the weaker candidate, but even after BO pushed Hill out, the Repubs did little or nothing to help McCain. Hagel spoke glowingly of Obama, went with him on his world tour, and McCain refused to use the vast amount of negative information available to him in his fight against BO. There was no October surprise. McCain took public financing even after BO said he wouldn’t. Everything that has happened has seemed counter-intuitive.
I conclude, as I’ve said before, McCain was a foil, and the only candidate in this race for either party (for their own particular reasons) was BO.
An outside possibility might be that the present administration plans on using what they have known about BO’s ineligible status and it’s potential for fomenting constitutional crisis (or just rioting) as their way of declaring martial law and extending Republican tenure. Obviously it would have been simpler just to elect McCain/Palin, unless they thought they couldn’t control them.
Like I said above, there seems to be a shortage of honorable persons available to save the US from this cabal.

43

SouthernGAL68 11.08.08 at 1:36 pm

Graduated Magna Cum Laude Music Ed Younger mild dyslexia but was able to do quite well a public speaker majoring in Mass Comm.

45

Heneri 11.08.08 at 1:37 pm

It is a well researched fact that children who spend more time with adults than masses of other classmates, do better in life, make better grades in college, and have less mental health issues than children who have been schooled in large groups in classrooms.

The family unit itself is the basic building block of society. The farm family, all working together for common goals, is the best model of a well balanced group. Respect for others is learned within the family, if the family is respectful of one another. Sharing and assisting one another, especially among siblings, is the best training ground I know of to socialize a child.

To compare: public school is a fast food (mass produced)world, home school is a specially prepared, individualized, home cooked meal.

He is the type that would enjoy a good play, the museum, etc. He loves to play chess. He is very intelligent and I would like to do more. He just entered 6th grade this year, but I think I’m too late for that (home schooling) - of course he could always come to live with me!! :lol:

Larry Summers is a sick individual:

Lawrence Summers Flashback: Africa Is ‘Under-Polluted’

http://news.yahoo.com/s/thenation/20081106/cm_thenation/45381035

The memo:

http://www.whirledbank.org/ourwords/summers.html

After the memo became public in February 1992, Brazil’s then-Secretary of the Environment Jose Lutzenburger wrote back to Summers: “Your reasoning is perfectly logical but totally insane… Your thoughts [provide] a concrete example of the unbelievable alienation, reductionist thinking, social ruthlessness and the arrogant ignorance of many conventional ‘economists’ concerning the nature of the world we live in… If the World Bank keeps you as vice president it will lose all credibility. To me it would confirm what I often said… the best thing that could happen would be for the Bank to disappear.” Sadly, Mr. Lutzenburger was fired shortly after writing this letter.

Thanks…

Also to EVERYONE HERE

We need to find out email addresses and start emailing the Republican representatives of the House. They are about to pick a new leader. Boehner (sp?) is the current leader and we need to encourage them to pick him again. He’s a good man. I saw him stand up against the radical Dems during the bailout process. He was against it. But I’m sure the Dems are trying to influence who will lead the Republicans because Boehner is strong opposition. I heard that Dan Lungren is planning to challenge Boehner for the position. THIS WOULD BE A DISASTER! Trust me. Lungren is in my district and he’s corrupt and no good. I tried to vote him out but apparently not successful. Lungren voted for the bailouts and he doesn’t care as long as he collects his lobbyist money and paychecks.

GBPuma is doing exceptional work on the actual vote count that is ongoing and we must be ready to hit them with the truth if McCain really won the election.

My suggestion would be pumas volunteer to find out who the electoral college members are in each state.

I’ll start by volunteering to find out who they are in California.

I run a small in home appraisal business. There was a time when I had an office and staff outside the home. I had a work area set up with a computer for my youngest daugher right in the office. Once we went to Switched on Schoolhouse, we had a really good system going. I would often work at my computer in my area that was adjacent to hers, and would be able to offer some assistance when she needed it.

Both of my girls learned how to answer the office phone, take a message, and other real life things before the age of 10. They learned some geometry by assisting me in measuring houses, drawing diagrams, and other things. Both learned how to take pictures with digital and 34 mm film cameras. Both learned how to read and annotate maps by assisting me.

I am a strong believer in home schooling.

Can Obama really be considering a known misogynist for Treasury Secretary?
The MSM is widely reporting that President-Elect Obama
is considering Larry Summer for the position of Treasury Secretary.
The New Agenda wrote about Summers and his record on sexism and misogyny last month. We issued a press release yesterday, and this morning,the Washington Post published an article detailing our objections to Obama’s potential appointment of Summers: href=”http://thenewagenda.net/2008/11/06/summers-is-over-the-washington-post-reports-on-the-new-agendas-anti-summers-position/
The New Agenda Action http://thenewagenda.net/2008/11/06/summers-is-over-the-washington-post-reports-on-the-new-agendas-anti-summers-position/

You can take action by contacting Valerie Jarrett, who is part of Obama’s Transition Team, at jarrett@barackobama.com,
to tell her what you think about Larry Summers as Treasury Secretary.
And add your name to the petition, We Need Real Change”, that goes into the many additional reasons Summers ought not be awarded that post.

I agree about going after one person. I am wondering if Rachel Maddow should be the target. I hesitate to pick her because she is a female. However, she just got her show and I am sure she is the first one on the chopping block, anyway. Then pick them off one-by-one.

It is never too late to home school, if you are dedicated. You need purpose and a good plan. Switched on School house is a great program, and costs about what the book fees are for a regular public school in our area. We always finished our courses way ahead of time, and then went on to special projects. We sometimes took college level courses from the teaching company. Many research papers and other outside projects were completed in the large amounts of left over time we had to fill.

Why we lost:

We had no on the ground grassroots work going on. There was no organization on the ground in any county, city or state. This is why Obark won, they had an extenisve on the ground network.

Also, I tried yesterday to find out who Florida’s electors were and came up emptyhanded. Monday, I’m calling my election board and asking for those names. And surely, the FL Dem Party knows but I have had arguments with them in the past when they wouldn’t give me the names of the Florida delegates and how they voted.

We should be holding Obama’s feet to the fire and we have no time to waste. Larry Summers is a sexist. One of the reasons that mades us PUMA’s. If we don’t fight that, what the hell are we doing.

I will not spin my wheels on Electoral College and Birth Certificate issues which do nothing but distract. The birth certificate issue is being handled by others. I wish them luck with getting the One to be more transparent.

There is a lot to be done. We need focus.

I with you. We need to focus our actions. Getting the electoral college to vote McCain in is a waste of time. I keep thinking of Bill Clinton’s lighting beam commment. There are many places we can focus, but we need to have one or two agendas that we push hard. If Don Imus can be taken off the air for racist comments, why can’t Matthews be sanctioned for admitting his bias.

Better yet an organized effort (including on the blogs) to keep Larry Summers out. All this information on the blog is very educational, but we need to move beyond daily prowls to more sustained efforts to achieve particular short term goals.

Both of you are correct. Targetting the media with emails will make a dent in their perspective,, especially if ratings go down. But you can not stop there..the young women today have to understand that there is another choice..The woman that voted for the Dark Lord was either of color or young.. or uneducated by choice. Look at what they are seeing on TV..Why is there a problem with obesity and anoxia…Have you checked out the Video games that ran O’s campaign message..Did you know that Nick was having the election as was MTV? The media is not just main stream news.. O did not just have CNN on his side. He had MTV, Nick, even ESPN

IMHO we need to get started on focusing on the electoral college. We must find out who they are and start blasting them with info about “O”.

GBPuma is doing exceptional work on the actual vote count that is ongoing and we must be ready to hit them with the truth if McCain really won the election.

My suggestion would be pumas volunteer to find out who the electoral college members are in each state.

I’ll start by volunteering to find out who they are in California.

~~~~~~~~~

Totally on this page with you goofsmom… and everyone else needs to be taking this action more seriously. Forget emails to Matthews… he’s a lost cause. We need to focus on the EC. I’ve seen how we can force concerns and change through our numbers when we put the pressure on.

We need to focus on pressuring the EC — but the first challenge is finding out who they are? They will be voting on Dec. 15th… and we can put the pressure on to make them accountable for vetting this president since the media refuses. Obama might threaten that half the nation will protest — and use this threat to intimidate the EC to ignore the minimum qualifications — but the other half the country is for holding his feet to the fire. And it’s debatable whether the other half of the nation is as large as Obama would like us to think since voter fraud was huge to get the numbers he received.

Stay focused on this goal… I believe it may grow legs. And remember the language that is crucial in our communications with the EC. We need to stress language that this is preserving the ORIGINAL INTENT of our founding fathers when establishing the role of the EC and the ORIGINAL INTENT of our Constitution.

I am not surprised about the possible choice of Larry Summers. All throughout the primary, Obama was getting endorsed by the “All Boys Club.” It was obvious then that he doesn’t give a flying flung about women. These women’s groups that endorsed him are fools AND they were tools in his plan. My daughter received FOUR Planned Parenthood fliers in the mail the week before the election. These fliers bashed McCain and endorsed Obama.
So, Gloria Steinman, where is your editorial now on Larry Summers? You couldn’t wait to write one for Barry.

:arrow: repost from home for the Homeless I’m happy to be home First off let me say that I mourn with you Mick, we have lost a number of our 4 legged friends in the past year, there was Angel, a pure bred persian I rescued in 2001, raji, a tiny black kitty who was very shy and had mouth problems, Tipper, a 12 year old rescue and one of 2 out of a litter I rescued in ‘96, Shadow, who I had to have put to sleep a few months ago, Bam-Bam, my room-mate’s liitle one, who crawled under my closet and died in the summer, and some who’s name I can’t remember, but I know they along with my 4 beloved poodles and other lost furbabies are waiting for me at the Rainbow Bridge. My heart goes out to you in this time of sorrow.
Secondly, I would like to say, to those who have been trashing Hillary, she did not sell us out, consider your own family and friends and how they would have felt when their former employees and friends did sell them out to the enemy, who spent their campaign money like water down a drain, to have their campaign headquarters vandalised, and friends dying under mysterious means, your family threatened—what would you do? Hillary is the only politician to whom I’ve ever contributed, and ther is no way in H**l I would ask for a refund because she did what she had to do.Yes, I wrote her in, and I’m proud of that, I’d do it again, and I voted for a democratic Governor because her opponent was using the same tactics as that one—and wanted to cut the minimum wage in WA. by $1.50 an hour, but I voted for some republicans too. I voted for women where I could, I always do. But you do not need to call me a traitor, I did not, would never vote for Obama, but neither would I vote for McCain, who just couldn’t get it together. This election was rigged from day 1, we never stood a chance, but folks who drank the kool-aid are going to learn real fast, when all those students are required to do 3 months community service every year, and what ever other harebrained schemes he has in mind. I heard 2 men talking in a hardware store yesterday about the 3 months community service, and then of course we have the 1st dog(lol) , who can’t be a “mutt” like that one. But I do want to stay, I want to fight, and I’d like to be able to read my comments, which I haven’t been lately.
May your Higher power bless you and keep you all safe and I hope to see you all here tommorrow.
blessings,

Ny gut feeling is all we need is one person with standing and we bring a lawsuit. So far all the lawsuits have been thrown out over the issue of standing. who has standing.

Well

opposing candidates. There were a lot of them. maybe 15.
members of the electors. some have said they want Obama to prove he is eligible. I have no idea who they are but Berg probably was notified.
A state such as SOS or AG of some state bringing the suit. But then it would be done under their money. Probably not going to partner up with us. Although we might get them to file if we had an idea of who might consider it.

There are a couple of lawyers who have worked on this. They have lost cases in different states. Berg would be a natural place to find out who they all are. I have posted some names on our blog over time but I did not keep copies of those posts. This is why I am frustrated with the software here. It is so impossible to find anything. Maybe the moderators can search and find the info. Also Jeff at AmericasRight.com has kept track of most of the people and proceedings. Although Jeff seems to have lost some entheusiasm for the project. He is a law student night school. but a full adult with 2 kids. Very sensible guy. Jeff has been in good contact with Berg in the past and was reporting on the Berg process before he began to lose entheusiasm.

Dances,

Are you talking to me? Why the impatience? Some of us don’t know if the leadership is working on a plan. I don’t think any one of us singlehandedly can design a full-fledged attack. We need to gather a handful of members with certain expertise. For example:

Media people - experience interacting with media
Design people - graphics visuals.
Media pyschology - the missing component here
Blogging Managers - teams of bloggers assign to specific blogs to put out well-crafted messages.
On camera talent - designated spokes people who know what to do in an interview.

Initial thoughts. I am absolutely willing to sign on, but I don’t want to waste time on the blog pissing in the wind. I have too many responsibilities as do the vast majority of us.

How about forming a list of expertise needed and get volunteers? Start there.

105

NewOrleansPuma 11.08.08 at 2:31 pm

I am not a New Agenda member. I am a PumaPac member.
If we are going to work closely with them, then the expertise of direction here should be given…Murphy…are you listening? Think about it….They need to call out the groups in public….and former Hillary Supporters…who voted for the sexist himself. Right I am already a broken record on this idea…so what else is new?

108

Hillgirl 11.08.08 at 2:33 pm

Hello, PUMAs, Here are some of my thoughts about the election. I posted a rough draft of these thoughts a few days back, but as I have been thinking about it, I have revised, refined, and rewritten it. It is hard to put all of what has happened into words, but I continue to try. SO here goes:

Watching the supporters of Barack Obama at the victory celebration I was struck by what I have seen all throughout this long election season—the kool-aid glazed adoring eyes and giddy smiles as their candidate took the stage. This trance-like state which has been pervasive throughout the campaign, has prevented his followers from objectively evaluating his qualifications to become president. As they have gazed upon him, blinded by the feel-good cult mentality, they have sacrificed the capacity to employ judgment. They have ignored his history of radical associations, the lack of any remarkable legislation, his inability to lead by standing up for principles, the unconscionable violence of his supporters, and his paucity of experience and comprehensive knowledge about all matters domestic and international. In addition, the degree of corruption, underhanded manipulation of the Democratic party and convention, and the amount of suspect funds raised have remained, for some reason, unchallenged by reasonable investigation. Finally, Obama perpetuated hateful misogyny throughout the campaign by tacitly participating in and never once speaking out against the unspeakable and vicious attacks on women candidates. It seems that the followers of Barack Obama have sacrificed rationality and reason for the tingle factor, the star power, the fine words and exciting speeches. We are now in a very vulnerable position in our country. We have been bamboozled by a snake oil salesman and his henchmen in an election that was anything but free and fair. All opposing voices were silenced, all qualified candidates were vilified and annihilated. And now we are faced by the stark reality of an inexperienced president to lead us through very crucial and dangerous times. The citizens of the US, brainwashed by the media and the Obama campaign, have elected the most inexperienced and unqualified candidate for president suggesting that our collective unconscious is engaged in a repetition compulsion to relive the Bush years. Let us not bury the past and leave it unchecked, let us please investigate how this man attained power, and let us try to reform our election process. If we leave this election unscrutinized we will repeat its mistakes and risk the loss of democracy forever.

Phoenix posted this quote over at Violet’s blog:

On the eve of President Wilson’s inauguration, Alice Paul organized a “monster demonstration” that brought the woman suffrage cause back into national prominence.

Led by a banner demanding a Constitutional amendment, about eight thousand women started from the Capitol, marched down Pennsylvania Avenue past the White House and ended in a rally at the Daughters of the American Revolution hall.

“On March 3 there arrived in Washington a man who was that day a simple citizen of the United States,” writes Paul’s biographer Inez Haynes Irwin. “The next day he was to become the President of the United States. As Woodrow Wilson drove from the station through the empty streets to his hotel, he asked, ‘Where are the people?’

“The answer was, ‘Over on the Avenue watching the Suffrage Parade’.”
_____________________________________________

WHY CAN’T WE ORGANIZE A PROTEST IN WASHINGTON AGAINST SEXISM ON THE DAY OF OBAMA’S INAUGURATION?

I would like the history books to record that women’s rights were still not being recognized on the “momentous” day that we overcame race in this country.

Hell..not recognized- they were being trampled over. I want people to have to think about that on the big day. I want Obama to be forced to share the spotlight with the majority of this country: WOMEN.

atypical 11.08.08 at 2:39 pm

The reason we have free public schools is because not every parent(mother), especially nowadays, is able to stay-at-home, nor is everyone able to teach. Most of the children who are homeschooled have above average circumstances and therefore would have been ok in any educational setting. Not all public school teachers are bad news. Generalizing that all public school teachers are mean or ignorant and that all public schools are like Chicago’s-teaching communistic views AND ignoring reading writing, and arithmetic-or that they allow students to be misused on a regular basis is unconscionable. My husband, my brother, my sister-in-law and I as former teachers with years of experience in public schools object.

First thing to do is to comment on this article in the Boston Globe.

Then, most definitely write an email to valerie jewett expressing your outrage that this “junk science” economist is being considered for such an important appointment.

Did you know that the intellectual inferiority of black people was considered scientifically beyond reproach until well into the 20th Century? Would obama appoint someone to his cabinet who claimed eugenics has a basis in scientific fact?

yes — YWR1961, they very well may continue to ignore us. That’s the uphill climb we face — exactly. That’s why we have to keep making noise. EVENTUALLY the story will become their disregard for our input or views.

Yes, I realize that. Agree. Although, if new agenda is feminist or womanist, it won’t operate in a hierarchical fashion. Meaning, your voice carries as much weight as anyone else.
I thought you were objecting to me posting a suggested prowl.

the new agenda is hierarchical.

So, they don’t subscribe to feminist principles?

Our City decides who gets the contract. I would imagine it the same for others?? I believe it is NoBama Network that posted the original circumstance.

What does sharia law mean. “The Bush Treasury is about to allow sharia law over the US Banking system.”

Ok, will do actions and prowls!

Ya, the New Agenda’s agenda is to be a nonpartisan sort of NOW. They don’t want to push a conservative or liberal agenda. They want to fight sexism, and promote any woman (regardless of party) to higher office in government and in the work place. Women in power is the goal. (From what I can gather.)

FYI, every puma should make sure to check in at RBO every now and then, and at least skim the titles and articles as you can. RBO will continue to watchdog.

You are missing the point. This is NOT about getting the EC to choose McCain. This is about the Republican officials in the EC standing up against the Democratic EC r
