Murphy and PUMAPAC volunteers – GREAT JOB!! It’s a tedious task and you’re doing a magnificent job. Figures don’t lie, but liars sure do figure.

Again, many, many thanks. YOU PUMAs ROCK!!!

Confession time; or, the truth about MKfromLA.

A while back TrishinCanada commented on the weather up there in Iceberg Township. She said it was so cold that the penguins were flying north to get warm. I went huh? And then I went “wow, they’re flying north? Oh, I get it. They’re flying north . It was a joke.”

I’ve been thinking about that one a long time; just didn’t seem quite right on the penguin part. I do trust my fellow PUMAs and I did grow up in Arizona, and I never watch those animal shows because someone is always having someone else for dinner. It was just bugging me though, so I asked another PUMA that I trust – can penguins really fly?

Now this morning I read TexasTigress’ helpful post for people like her and me who are not cooks. “Yes!” I said to myself. “I will get up early tomorrow & get the turkey in the oven and it will be cooking when she wakes up and she will be so pleased she didn’t have to do all the cooking”. So I kept reading because of the deep trust I have in Texas Tigress – she is after all my esteemed fellow PUMA.

Have mercy.

BBL, off to commune with my computer who knows & understands me.

Sorry Henrie: Not sure if I’m clear (after I reread)
but the “right” idea is in there somewhere.

ONe problem with this is: WE ALL NEED TO BE WORKING to make this happen (most of us anyway)———–

here is a strange story ?i dont know what to make of it .
im not sure if the wrighter is being a smart ass or not

You are right about your assertion all must be working. I believe this election was all about those expecting something for nothing. People were sold a book of goods about having themselves taken care of without working. We just have to many people not wanting to pull their fare share. That is the problem with the idea of socialsim and communism, people dont have to earn anything.

tec1965 – I posted the article downstairs on that in WaPo. The authors were serious. They think Gov. Patterson should appoint Bill to Hillary’s seat. I thought of that right after I heard them floating her as possible SOS. He’d shake up Washington:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/11/25/AR2008112501886.html?hpid=opinionsbox1

Does anyone find it interesting that with majorities in both houses that he is cow towing to bringing in Republicans. I mean come one i thought the way this campaign was run there was no need to include the repubs for anything.
Or could it be that when things go to $hit it is his way of saying everyone was on board so dont blame me or the democrats.

I tried to post this while we were down, so I’ll repost.
Obama had a press conference this morning to announce the formation of an economic recovery advisory board led by Paul Volker and Austin Goolsby (now why do I know that name?). And everyone on the stage was wearing black suits again – why am I the only one commenting on this wierd symbol of BOs. A reporter asked BO a complex question about why does he keep appointing old names when he promised change? Obama made a snide remark back about how many questions he was allowed to ask, then went on to say in essence that old is new, blah,blah, blah and then ended the press conference.

TT
or just send the recipe and I’ll forward.

ariforcehusker: It’s not realistic, and it’s SUICIDE, believing that.

Many people take advantage of the “give me’s” but from where I come from: Most of them make their money ILLEGALLY, it’s not possible to LIVE on GOV. FREE MONEY, there isn’t ENOUGH—-for everyone, SO HOW DO THEY FIGURE this to be the case?????

“Let me be clear where the vision is coming from: it comes from me.”

Let me clear how stupid I am: I sound stupid and don’t know it.

TexasTigress: In naming Paul Voelcker to yet another board of economic advisors who will be a part of “fresh voices”
in his administration, I thought…right…Voelcker, about as fresh as a 5 year old dried hydrandea arrangement sitting on the coffee table in a room somewhere….
Da vision…comes from him…right…Front man…Obmamba!

TexasTigress:

I reposted your compliment….to me! And even failed to end it with “thank you! I only wanted to copy and paste your name with “Thank you”!

Oh well. I liked it….TWICE! lol!

michelina:

On my way back to the cottage to get it.

Did anyone leave the lights on?

18BigCatLover: The men and women in black concern me as well…black and red, colors of anarchists and revolution…and a sign that these people are creepy.

Sorry about that but still isnt that even a bigger step back from the Presidency? I dont understand the logic.

Gotcha and now it would make sense. With him in the senate much of the underhanded dealing but the DNC could be questioned or looked into by Bill if he was sitting in the Senate. Is that what you are talking about.

Why not Bill in the Senate? I think it would be hilariously appropriate…at least msm may be less inclined to say Bill will really be calling shots if Hillary is SOS..Maybe they will have to say….and Hillary is calling the shots in the Senate seat. I am being faceitious…because msm will say whatever they want…but there is precedent for appts of husbands or wives to finish terms…I know..usually after deaths or incapacitations, but clearly precedent this election cycle does not mean anything to anyone to whom it should mean something…so ? I hope she does precisely what is in her own best interests and the State of NY.

DOLLAR TREE STORE COMPLAINT:

Copy the following letter – change it however you wish, and go to

http://www.dollartree.com/comment.cfm

and paste it into comments addressed to:

Macon F. Brock, Jr., Chairman
Dollar Tree Stores

Dear Mr. Brock:

Please be advised that I am participating in a protest of your Corporation, including a boycott of your stores, nationwide.

The position of your company in denying Death Benefits to a slain employee, Taneka Talley, is not only appalling, but a slap in the face to women all over the world.

Your primary customers are women. Apparently your company is unaware that your “primary customers” are subjected to random acts of violence – not unlike that which caused the death of Taneka Talley, every few seconds.

Like your Benefits Department’s determination that it was “personal”, although she had no connection to her white assailant – other than his hatred for her race, I take your company’s position personally. My only connection to the victim is gender – and the knowledge that violence against women is largely viewed similar to your company’s position: Take no responsibility, blame the victim and go on with business as usual.

Your company’s failure to seize an opportunity to do the right thing by not only honoring Taneka Talley’s Death Benefits, but taking a strong position against not only Hate Crimes, but Hate Crimes Against Women, says a lot about your company.

My “interpretation” of your company’s decision on the Taneka Talley death benefit is this:

Dollar Tree Stores should be denied ANY woman’s patronage.

My decision:

I intend to tell as many women in this country, through use of the world-wide web, to boycott your stores in honor of Taneka Talley. I am seizing the opportunity to speak out against all violence against women – which now includes the violence committed by your company of denying a victim of employment-related random violence death benefits to her survivor – her son.

“I know there is another meeting or two with the lawyers.”

Two years after she was killed.

THANKS WBD: Prowl DONE>

TWO YEARS, God these people are AS SHAMEFUL as could be.

BOYCOTT it IS !!

Great job on the financing prowl, Pumas!

And a belated LOL to TexasTigress for her remark below “I need another prowl. I get into trouble when I’m not prowling.”

Alas. I resemble that remark, as Groucho said!

Anyway, have to go prep for Thanksgiving, but wanted to repost my late night comment….Obama announced he’s keeping Robert Gates on as Defense Secretary. Something to mention to tamp down the swagger of any Obot relatives. Ask ‘em how they like that “change” of keeping Bush appointees in office!

I took a peek over at kos and they’re all defending the Precious for keeping Gates as a “transition” tool. And yelling at anyone who doubts the motives for their Infallible One’s choices.

The few whose Hopium is wearing off are predicting it will take months for the rest to finally admit they’d been had by a con man.

This game of insurance company IS a game and citizens need to understand its nature…finally and completely, no matter the nature of the episode. This episode is particularly odious and pathetic.

There are a bunch of sites about how to smoke a turkey… Goofsdad has a favorite site and so far the receipes have been right on… The typical cooking time is 2 hours for every lb. I just wanted to find out what your cousin did for comparison..

Your dreams/visions have been pretty accuracy so far… suggestions on what we should do??

Thank you for reposting the letter…

TEXAS:
As long as you are providing recipes. how would you prepare a Cornish Hen?
I know I can google it, but I’d prefer getting it from someone I can count on!!! My nephew(only close relative in the area) is going with his wife and 2 young daughters to grandma’s house, so only my cat and I will be home. Looking at the size of the turkeys at the supermarket is enough to “stuff” me.

Scarlet: Not living far from Canada: their Health care is OK, we don’t hear any “horror” stories anymore: these people are well taken care of, it just took decades to FIX it where it works.

Which is what will happen here ALSO: BUT our YOUNG people Today have NOTHING: I mean our kids in their young twenties, and they are AMASSIING GREAT DEBT——-if they become ill and have to go to the emergency rooms. Forget going to a Doctor, you can’t if you don’t have insurance.

AT LEAST when I was YOUNG, they had gov. run CLINICS if you were SICK, there was a nominal FEE, but you were TAKEN CARE OF: you didn’t amass thousands of dollars of debt, before you graduated from college for MEDICAL CARE: Believe me, it’s happening and it shouldn’t be.

THEY have no options: Hillary Knows this, THEY ALL WORK, but they cannot afford insurance: MOST of US CANNOT.

As far as ILLEGALS: Sorry I draw the line: Their own country should be taking care of them, not us: I know it sounds cruel, but I’m sorrry: Why is MEXICO so DAMNED POOR !!!!—it’s not America’s fault: ANd DAMMIT, we are there when countries need us, but if we don’t RULE THEM, why are we taking care of them.

WE CANNOT TAKE CARE OF OTHERS< if we are HURTING AT HOME: BASIC SURVIVAL——————–

(((lilibet))) I wish you were HERE !!! You could have Thanksgiving with my family !
I sent you a recipe (and it doesn’t include freaking everyone out by sticking the hen inside the Turkey )

as usual, great research team regarding the post! Thank you for all of your hard work!

On a side note, we could not get into pumapac today nor our pumaliberty. They were down for over the two hours while I tried to log into them. Who knows how much longer before that.

This morning I woke up with urgency to organize on the ground locally. We are doing that, we had our first meeting last week with another on the horizon. The internet is a great tool that we should all use but we should find a way to operate without it if need be. If pumapac suddenly disappear one day… heaven forbid. How could I ever find Dances, or jenniforhillary or taggles1?

EMME: It doesn’t even MAKE SENSE:

Just what does he MEAN:——-I sure don’t understand it.

Just a note..

I kid you not… Fox news may be interested in the findings to date.. but that is exactly what the news declared election week.

What Obama really meant (WORM):

“Let me be clear where the unadulterated bullshit is coming from: it comes from me”

I’d be happy to help with the research on obie donation fraud…the reason I stopped was because it came up that anyone donating over 4600 per couple could roll the rest over to a future campaign and I thought that made extra bucks something that couldn’t contested legally.
Any update on the facts of this situation and if all is still a go, what states have been covered and I will pick one that isn’t being worked on. How’s about California, I would enjoy doing my freakin’ obot state.

goofsmom: It was several years ago and I could not remember how long of time to cook it.,.,Have a beautiful day tomorrow.

Good Afternoon Pumas.

Perhaps Michelina, the U.S. government will have taken note of the errors and adjustments made from/by the birth of the Canadian Health Care System and they will avoid those errors and the transition will be much smoother, because they have studied the Canadian System extensively.

Joan of Arc: How could I not greet the namesake of one of my favorite all time women: Joan of Arc…of France….
Good to see you here, Joan of Arc…Did you bring Michael, St Catherine with you? LOL

WOW: NOP we know about this, I live border Canada/US

They’ve gotten TERRIBLY out of hand: TERRORISTS you know.

Canada does NOT want you visiting, if you have any kind of RECORD:
doesn’t matter how long ago:

And coming back to the States is just as hard: Commuters are forced to have Passports, even though, they’ve been coming back and forth for decades etc………

I just don’t go there anymore: it’s too much of a hassle, the smallest indiscretion can be an BIG ISSUE.

My ex-husband who has duel citizenship, driving back and forth for fourty years, needs a passport, and THe PAPERWORK you need is UN-BELIEVABLE: Birth certificate doesn’t do it:

You needs records from your parents, where they lived, what schools they went to: medical records, birth certificate, baptisimal etc………

And to think we elected a pres. that doesn’t have to do this—-AMAZING AMERICANS !!!

“The usual audits of campaign donations following an election has been waived for Pres-Elect Barack Obama.”

goofsmom 11.26.08 at 2:14 pm:

Great! We can come up with some new year-round “turkey” recipes and stuff them with PROWLS!

Just got back into the office, and I see many things are going on at once. Awesome work on the Campaign Finance Audit! We knew as much, and it looks like Obama didn’t even try very hard to hide it!

As for the health care situation: Most people in this country are either uninsured or underinsured. The one industry that makes the most off of sick people is the insurance industry, with the drug companies close behind.

It is estimated by some that the insurance industry gets at least .30 of every health care dollar spent. That means that our care costs us 30% right off the top for these people to allocate our money for us. The other issue is that the health care providers spend a good deal of money processing paperwork. This costs us at least another .10 of our health care dollar.

The cost of health insurance to a small company is growing daily. Small companies have had to choose between wages and health care bennefits as compensation. Some companies cannot meet their contractual obligations to their employees because the rates are so high. A lawyer friend tells me that he has numerous cases in his files where companies failed to pay their health insurance premiums and employees got stuck with bills they should not have owed. In a number of these cases, the companies are in bankruptcy.

Indiana, where I live, has been beset by reports of unnecessary surgery and treatment by for profit medical facilities. It seems that every gimmic in the book is being engaged to get as much of that medical treatment dollar as possible into the pockets of some very unscrupulous people. This is because the facilites and doctors charge on a pay per service model. The more services they render, the more they make. After a long investigation, one local heart surgery facility was discovered to have performed unnecessary heart bypass surgeries more than 44% of the time. In one year, they had performed about 800 operations that were not needed. Interestingly enough, all of those patients had insurance that would foot the bill.

Now The Big Three are experiencing the same woes as the little guy. It is time we all look at this rationally and cure the cause, not just treat the symptoms.

What we need is a civilian medical corp. It needs to be set up and administered in a similar way as the military medical corps. In that program, they train their own doctors, who then work on salary which is rank based. All their supplies are bought through the federal bid system, which cuts costs by as much as 60% over retail. The only ‘paper’ they process is medical records.

A civilian medical corp, funded by fees deducted from payroll would solve many of our problems. There would be no claims to file, there would be no middle men, there would be no need to pad the bills or the surgery schedule because the medical staff would all be on salary. All drugs and other supplies would be purchased wholesale through government bids, making it possible to have much lower costs than we now have. And the big bonus is that everyone would be covered.

How much we would save is not clear, but the potential for savings would be there. If we took all the current insurance costs and applied them to financing this kind of program, we could save at least 40%, and long term, probably more. This would relieve the employer of having to constantly be renegoiating the cost of medical care. It would streamline the system so that a simple payroll deduction similar to Social Security would be all that was necessary.
