The Women’s Movement is Ours for the Taking

President Sirleaf knows. We are half of the whole. Our society will not grow and prosper without our inclusion.

You’ve got to VOTE for her.

Murphy,

I just saw this post come up on Twitter. If you come into town for the movie, I hope you will give me a sound.

NYCgirl

According to this info on the movie’s site, the NYC screening on 9/21 will be at the School of Visual Arts, not Hunter College as Murphy said in her post:

ok-sent!
Thanks.

I just don’t get it… BO’s numbers are going UP with Dems and down with everyone else. What does this MEAN?

Yes. It’s worth repeating over and over again:
You’ve got to VOTE for her!!!

Have to turn in early tonight. Had an exhausting day.
Can’t wait to go grocery shopping at Whole Foods tomorrow for the sheer pleasure of pissing off Obotts.
Yes I’ll be participating in the BUY Cott.
Love Whole Foods. Hate Obama Facists.

Goodnight Pumas.

I went to the Buycott at Whole Foods tonight we did good here in St. Louis. They estimated 800 buy-cotters attended between 5pm and 9pm. They ran out of shopping carts. Protested Sunday. DNC is having a bus tour like the Tea Party Bus Tour. The bus was painted and looked like NOOBAMA’s campaign bus with his logo on it etc. The folks that got off the bus were not Electric Union workers for sure they were SEIU and Acorn. (FYI: I am for unions just not for NOOBAMA’s unions) Even though they were bussed in and more then likely paid. We had more folks then they did. We out numbered them. There were Hillary Democrats like myself, Independents, Conservatives, and Libertarians, Greens Republicans. What was great is that know one payed attention to what party each belonged too. It was about taking our country back and stopping NOOBAMA etc. There was old and young protesting. It was great!!!!

pumacraig,
it sounds like you must be doing better healthwise. I didn’t watch the news tonight. I wish I would have known you were going.

No I am not doing good health wise. My muscle disease has progressed and my lungs do not function properly and I was in a wheel chair at the protest. But I have to do what ever I can to take back our country. When I die and that will be sooner then later. I want to go knowing I did all I could to change the course our country is on. I see you are very busy. I don’t talk or see the others anymore. Hope to see you at other protests.

Puma craig..sending you strong healing .. you are stronger in spirit than many people …

Swannie

Thank you for the healing. My friends say I am just very stubborn!(:

We need more women in law enforcement as well. You can credit two women for finally ending the nightmare of Jaycee Lee Dugard.

pumacraig – just watched interview the St Louis spokeswoman for the Whole Foods buy cott. She mentioned the one guy with an Obama t-shirt! “night – sweet dreams

Yes, she was a woman. She noticed the odd behaviour of the children so approached hime and asked him who he was. He gave her his name and said the two girls were his daughters. She looked him up found out he was on parole for rape and kidnapping and immediately called his parole officer who said “he doesn’t have two daughters”. If she had just been a regular citizen her report would have gone nowhere just like the other woman who reported suspicious behaviour.

Nice to hear about the Buycott! Thanks PUMAcraig.

Our Whole Foods is not having a Buycott that I know of. But, I am attending their wine tasting for the first time this Friday.

This could become a weekly habit….

*clarification…. fighting in the sense of getting the word out..ERA, kill the HR3200 bill, voting women in……
but then again…I will be surrounded by obots

Puma SF
amen on the two police officers, read an early article about their observation of subtle cues that led them to following up on the mutant barbarian. Only one article mentioned they were women, had they been male… there would have been more made of them and their gender.
Agree. We need more women in law enforcement AND every other area to elevate civilization beyond this Dullard Barbarian Age
not only is it brutal it’s fracking boring

this teacher, i suppose is still at the school which is only
3 or 4 miles from my house, i will never forget how badly i felt for the young girl in that classroom.

And now, this up and coming speech to all k-12 students from the pres on sept 8, if i were a parent i would take my child shopping that day, or to the library, or heck anything but allow them to be put through that kind of scenario, i wonder if schools are sending out letters to parents which they officially have to do if they indeed are going to let his speech be part of the ciriculum that day. Now, i dont know about any of you feel about this, but i cant help think, would Obama like for his girls to have to listen to another president while in school, would Michelle, oh i think not.
If Obama and michelle say, and i agree, hands off our children, then for God sakes Obamas, hands off ours, this is simply freaking alinsky playbook, and hey, let’s just check out how wonderful the chicago schools are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
The “do what we say” presidency is beyond all things i thought were possible in this country. Oh and hey, do you think the other side should get a spot for all the children across the country? I mean, hey well, that’s my feelings about this matter and they aint good

from article:
“Obama also noted the contributions of Muhammad Ali…”

yeah, one would think he might have felt wary about mentioning Muhammad Ali. It reminds people of the time when Tony Rezko was director of the Muhammad Ali Foundation. Rezko was a partial owner of the same food company as Jerbir Muhammad, who managed Muhammad Ali. Jerbir Muhammad was the son of Nation of Islam founder Elijah Muhammad. Louis Farrakhan is the national representative of Elijah Muhammad.

All were Chicagoans, like Obama. Yay!

kat in your hat,
Oh that’s lovely. So glad we are doing things the Chicago way in our country now. Not.

____________
Concerning the two women police officers saving the day…I too imagined male security guards for first reports, though vaguely, I am not sure if that is all me or if a reporter assumed they were male as well and wrote it that way. I read about the two women officers in an article a few days and I thought about it all. Here’s a photograph of them: http://tinyurl.com/lsbqdo

Also, a neighbor called the police in 2006 because she/he suspected something odd at that house/ secret backyard. Wonder if it was a woman neighbor?

Dances says “very subtle clues”– have you read the play called “Trifles” by Susan Glaspell? Very good. It’s all about how the men, detectives/ residents, couldn’t figure out a motive for murder (a husband murdered by wife) and the wives figured it out together based on very subtle clues, things only a woman might notice.
____________
Q: Why do you think we’ve never had a female president in the United States?

A: “I have to ask you that question. You’ve got to vote for her.”

That is so simple and brilliant. I’ll remember that.

Sheila, understood. I’ll go with intuition… deeper inner knowing.

psssst… yoohooo, pan politico palinists… just so you know:

(CNN) — Sarah Palin’s political action committee is handing out cash to some of the most conservative members of Congress, a new report filed with the Federal Elections Commission reveals.

According to the latest disclosure with the FEC, SarahPac has donated to money to Minnesota Rep. Michelle Bachmann, Tennessee Rep. Marsha Blackburn, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch and Senate hopeful Rob Portman of Ohio.”

Bush’s third term? You’re living it

This dark fantasy of a third Bush term is also an accurate portrait of President Barack Obama’s first term to date. In following Bush, Obama was given the opportunity either to restore the rule of law and the balance of powers or to firmly establish in place what were otherwise aberrant abuses of power. Thus far, Obama has, in all the areas mentioned above, chosen the latter course. Everything described, from the continuation of crimes to the efforts to hide them away, from the corruption of corporate power to the assertion of the executive power to legislate, is Obama’s presidency in its first seven months.

Thanks for noting the role of the women officers. Most of the neighbors let the weird backyard goings-on slide, which is a tragedy. But even worse was the deputy who didn’t thoroughly investigate when he was called to the house.

On the Whole Foods front, sheesh….what could be simpler than to sit back and laugh your hiney off at them? It would rankle them all the more to sneer at them, “I was never duped by Whole Foods in the first place.”

And so much the better if the stores failed…because you know they’re just dying to be appeased so they can return…and then what? You’ll be shopping side by side? Ridiculous. Save your money.

#49 agreed!

It was a female Berkeley officer who found my brother-in-law’s runaway son, too….on the opposite side of the country! I was astonished. They really do keep a sharp look-out for kids and young people.

ZEE

Wondering what besides the “political” is wrong with shopping in Whole Foods?

I live on the Barrier Island in Florida and besides being convenient, their meats, produce and bakery and even their floral dept was top quality. I never had a problem with their products. Have I
missed something I should know about their products?

Hello ((((pumaland)))

I’m a little behind on things (crazy month)—

What is this BUY COTT, and how do I go about it.

Michelina

From what I can figure out, there is a boycott of whole foods because the head of WF said the Obama health care sucked.

So a group now is BUYING there to counter the Boycott.

I was just wondering why other than the “political” reason Zee seems to be against shopping there. Was it related to their products? Something I should be aware of since I do shop there in FL. Have you heard anything about their products? Or is it all politically related?

IT is small, very small and under $100.00..lol

LOL. I have a medium sized one but I didn’t buy it. My best friend told my husband I was really eyeing it when we were at the mall but decided I couldn’t afford it. So, hubby went and bought it for my birthday.

Off to school. Ugh. Bye PUMAS!

#81 PUMA-SF

Yes, there are a lot of ramifications of that—”blaming” the wife, because the wife gave the rapist/kidnapper cover. But I wouldn’t describe her as a victim. I think she “met” him when he was in jail as a rapist, so she went into that relationship. And she actively kidnapped and kept the kidnapped girl, and even took the abused girl’s daughters….born of rape on a child.

Even in the case of the austrian father imprisoning and impregnating his daughter over 20 years or so of her life….supposedly, the mother “didn’t know.” But after the reunion, the daughter did kick her out of her rehabilitation and life. Perhaps figuring the mother must have known, because the father actually brought in some of the resulting children for him and his wife to raise, and the mother bought his excuses without demanding to see/find her daughter.

The Austrian wife was more passively involved, but this American one definitely was actively involved.

I don’t know what to think that CNN had an all-female panel discuss it…but I did think they discussed it in a very thoughtful manner, as opposed to the typical blowhard making bombastic sweeping denunciations.

I am not rich by no mean and I buy what I can at WF. I have a income of $764.00 a month. I am poor in money not spirit or life. I do not eat meat that has hormones and antibiotics in it. I believe this is harmful and causing some, not all of our society’s problems with being over weight and antibiotics resistance. I also like my vegetables to be free from pesticide. I also don’t want to eat chemicals. I like my food to be as pure as possible. WF here in St. Louis tells you where the product comes from. For me it is to keep my body as strong as I can. I will go without nice clothes and other things to be able to eat as healthy as I can. I support myself I have no family to help. It is not easy but I found away to eat healthy. I do eat small amounts it helps to keep down on cost. Kids are having a hard time with weight these days as well as adults. I think some not all of the problem is the Hormones (steroids) given to the milk cows to make them produce more milk is a big part of the problem. Drink steroids three or more times a day add a little cheese and meat wallah!! Sorry got off my own subject!! It happens!! I am just saying poor folks can benefit from organic eating. And WF makes it easier for me to do.

pumacraig and others. Please. As Joseph Cannon, anglachel, and many others have pointed out, Whole Foods has no lock on “organic” food. You can get *local* fresh pesticide-free produce at farmers markets in many towns, in the country and in the cities. And it’s CHEAP.

Shop there for whatever reason you want, but it won’t be because there are no other places to get organic (all our local supermarket have those sections now)….and in my opinion it undercuts the ability to laugh in the faces of the arugula crowd if people suddenly START buying there because some idiot CEO doesn’t like this or that Zerobama is doing. He’s corporate, and so is Zero. So, what next? When —just like lawyers after a trial—he and OpHRMA agree on something are all the shoppers going to whirl about and flip the buy- and boycott positions yet again?

My buycott participation at WF was to protect free speech. The man wrote something in a news paper (free speech). He is attacked buy Obama supporters for his article in that paper. His stores are protested by OBOTS (which is OK free speech). But trying to get him fired as CEO and destroy his business via boycott went to far in my books. Protest against what he said, but don’t try and destroy what he built WF. None of us here like it when OBOTS try to destroy what Murphy as built here. We will fight them with all we have to protect what we have here and Murphy. That is why I participated in the buycott to protect free speech. Thats why I went.

I shopped at Whole Foods today. They are the nearest natural foods and supplements location near me. But they are EXPENSIVE. The store was a Wild Oats that was bought out by WF. Before I retired I bought alot of foods at that location but can’t anymore. Anyway, I have not read the CEO’s op-ed, but it sounds like another corporate fat cat has come out in public against a single payor/public option which I support as an option. Don’t want to support him (as a large corporation head), but don’t want to support Obama outraged jerks either. So my official stance is – staying neutral.

pumacraig: Thanks for making me understand, I think
it’s cool you made that choice, and for good reason,
it’s like Joe the Plumber all over again,
INTIMIDATION—-goood for you.

FLBARB: we don’t have one in our area, but you
made it sound interesting, I will check it out–

We have WEGMAN’S and they seem to be on the same SCALE
as WF——they are privately owned, and are considered
the BEST EMPLOYERS in the US—–FACT——-they treat
their employees wonderfully.

Oh yeah, Zee made my other point – that many of the brands carried by WF are now available in supermarkets. Hate the quality of much of the stuff in supermarkets, but you can get healthier foods if you shop carefully. Their supplements are another matter, the ones I’ve tried tend to be of poor quality.

#110 pumacraig

“The man wrote something in a news paper (free speech). He is attacked buy(sic) Obama supporters for his article in that paper.”

Oh, PLEASE. Rightwingers have used boycotts, letters and intimidation forever. PUMAs use their letter-writing and boycott powers, too….and more power to boycotts of all stripes! Citizens’ marketplace, hm? Capitalism at work, is it not?

This is not a “free speech” issue, but nice try! lololol

I don’t base my actions or change my opinion on a corporation based on whether Obots love or hate it this particular week.

#103
Fl said she shopped there for convenience, not buycotting.
Whatever…I’m neutral too, but Pumacraig has a good reason.
bbl.

again, normapuma…I’m not talking about *shopping* there…I’m talking about the absurd “buycott” by people who previously detested the designer store.

And no…Pumacraig’s reason is silly. If only boycotts *could* “destroy a business”—whoo-hoo! That would be great. Put the fear of the consumer in them. That’s *capitalism,* isn’t it? The power of the purse? (Coach or otherwise!) You can’t have it both ways, depending on which side of the boycott you’re on. People are free to organize and boycott.

I’m loving this, actually…if protests and boycotts are gaining ground and citizens of every stripe are this restless…can strikes be that far behind?

Ooooo….a women’s strike, maybe?

$5 sample? No, I was saying that Trader Joe’s had interesting wine selections as low as $3 to $5 a bottle…the Whole Foods samples are free.

Whole Foods ‘buycott’ turns grocery store into cultural battleground

Obama to reset health care debate, aides say
President Obama, facing wavering support to overhaul health care, is looking to recapture momentum on the issue, key White House aides said. “The president is considering all of his options on how to advance the debate and get reform passed. This includes possibly laying out a more specific vision,” said one administration official

Ya think??

Wait… more specific *vision*?? How about laying out the specifics??

My favorite bread at WF is $5.49—– so BLC is MINE!!
When PIG’s FLY raisin bread it is $4.49 at my store and I could not find it there one day so I checked WF and was shocked to see it at a dollar more!

Oops forgot the link, sorry:

Zee, Mackey is a really good guy. He doesn’t care much about money.
He believes in the free market and knows that it can work.
A great example for American small business and NOT a mindless Obot.

If Whole Foods profits from the “buy-cott” that’s great-the profits will probably be distributed to the employees.

Or maybe Mackey will donate the $$ to whoever runs against Obama in 2012 hee hee

Oops, so it’s a buycott, they want you to buy at WF? I’m confused. Obots are boycotting but others are buycotting? So when I went shopping there, I was actaully opposing obots? That’s what I get for throwing my 2 cents in when I don’t understand the issue. Didn’t have a stance one way or the other when I went there.

“I would never spend that kind of money for coffee.”

Apparently, you would if the Obots suddenly started boycotting Starbucks.

That’s what I mean.

ZEE we should open a store…make Puma cupcakes at $5.00 ea.

Woot….use the money to shop at WF……..

Zee #69: “Why would anyone want to support a store like Whole Foods? What kind of point is it you’d be “proving?”

Zee #22: “again, normapuma…I’m not talking about *shopping* there”…

Zee, your posts are somewhat confusing. It appears that you had 2 points in your first post – “why support them” (ie, you don’t like them), and “the hypocrisy of the buycott”…if your intent was to *only* point out the hypocrisy demonstrated by the buycott, then why the statement in #69?

Why support Whole Foods?
-CEO John Mackey only pays himself $1/year for last 2-3 years.
-full time workers are given free health care.
-Mr. Mackey has setup a $100,000 need-based fund for his employees.
-The WF store supports local farmers & their produce
-He is a strong animal rights advocate and refuses to sell animal products in his store from vendors that have not adhered to strict anti-abuse guidelines.
-They offer domestic partners same sex benefits
-created the Animal Compassion Foundation in January 2005

Sounds to me like there may be some valid expenses behind their “high costs”.

I know! $5 cupcake with a free cuppa coffee!

We should re-invent the cupcake…call them PUMApaws…

======

Now you all stop before I bust a gut laughing and everyone gets mad at me!

So what you’re saying is that the Whole Foods Nation people who gave allllllll those same social-good reasons as why they were smugly superior to shop at that expensive “Organic Brandname” store were right all along?

You’re listing all the reasons they were proud of. If you make it a POLITICAL statement to shop there, it’s for the very same reasons they always had.

The very same reasons we used to roll our eyes at. The very same reasons they thought they were doing such a “progressive” thing by voting for Obama! Because they had progressive “values.”

So, while the Obotic Whole Foods Nation made it a political and lifestyle statement to be defined as Whole Foods loyalists who bought “organic” bottled water and voted for Obama and were furious when the CEO turned out to be conservative regarding government control of health care….so far, so consistent, even if ridiculous….the only thing the buycott people can do is not only completely make an *aboutface* on their opinion of the Whole Foods lifestyle, but then quote all the crunchy-granola reasons it’s awesome to join the recently vacated Whole Foods Nation?!

A-yup. We’re at war with Oceana, all right. We’ve alllllllways been at war with Oceana.

Until next week, when we’ll be allies with Oceana again….forever and ever.

I need a Star Bucks Green Tea Frappuccino….

Zee,
So let me get this straight. You don’t like Whole Foods?

Well, sheila…let me try again: I find it hilarious that the former disdainers of the Whole Foods Nation are adopting the very same talking points the WFNation used to use to justify their lifestyle….and are now suddenly embracing a store they once used to equate with everything that was pretentious about the Obot generation.

The only opinion I myself have of Whole Foods is that I like Trader Joe’s better…even if I had the money to exclusively shop at either.

BBL. Bye PUMAS.

sheila…sorry! I knew you were joking but I thought it was literally about not liking Whole Foods!

Zee 09.02.09 at 4:23 pm [edit

Thanks Zee
I really can not believe that logo. that scares me. WTF does it mean. Is this Pres/Doc/Obama/Astrologer. Is this Starstruck/Hippocratic/President/OverTheFlag. This stuff is raw ingredients for satire, irony, guffawing out loud.

Who pays the logo designer for the Obama propaganda machine. Is that coming from tax payer money. It’s creepy that they stick a logo on everything and give it a propaganda name, like Organizing for Healthcare. Organizing for America, Organizing for Healthcare – it’s Orwellian.

Exactly, Mamapuma!!!

It’s unbelievable.

And the Bush-Obama power-trippers think they have gotten this hero-worship down to a science?

What would be great to happen is that they try one too many about-faces on their followers until no one knows which way they were originally facing….and then there’s only one way to turn: on the powers-that-would-be.

How could it not occur to the Obots that this symbolism is as creepy as that all-seeing eye that was illuminating the globe?

Bush had to can that “Total Information Awareness” — which is to say, he had to rebrand it in a toned-down fashion.

Now suddenly over the top global imagery is the norm?

Polyface Farm – OMG. Did you read the customer responses in the Our Story section?

oo…thanks, admin!!! I will pass on that Polyface Farm info to my family in VA. We’re all foodies…and have been known to drive across state lines in pursuit of stellar eats. Being an omnivore does have its dilemmas…some foods I can’t justify anymore.

I have only been to Whole Foods a handful of times, usually when I visit fam in Scarsdale. I generally order all my groceries online, other people do the shopping and delivering from local supermarket. (Saves me a lot of time, energy and annoyance–also, impulse buying.) Otherwise, I just grab a few things from local fruit stands, bagel shop, etc. Only snooty places I might go to is a local gourmet deli and maybe Dean & DeLuca once in a blue moon. I avoid Starbucks like the plague. (But I don’t drink coffee, so that’s easy for me to say.)

Went to Whole Food’s website, here’s this: “Nutritional Support for Women” http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/nutrition/nutritional-support-women.php

now wait a minute
whole foods buys and sells produce from local farmers!
(and their store brands are moderately priced and good quality)

just because entitled assholes shop there doesn’t mean it’s affiliated with Obama

but jeezus, someone disagrees with the president and their business is punished by consumers?

that is fucking rabid!

the guy didn’t say let’s nuke Iran for chrissake.
he doesn’t want government run health care.

so for that he deserves to have his business hurt?

a taxpaying citizen who bends over backwards for his employees?

i dont want government run health care either.
our government could screw up a high mass.
this is a ripoff and a power grab and an overreach and there are a million other solutions that wont give government contracts to the mega-profiteering insurance and pharma. this is hostage-taking.

I’m a small business owner, should my clients boycott me?

lots of details on Obama’s school address:

totally creepy

The Mind of the Obot

I came across an Obot that spoke his mind about women. The post is too poisonous and lengthily to copy directly but here is a link: http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/pol/1354055619.html

It was posted in response to this post on Feminism: http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/pol/1353031214.html

I find the poison post very interesting in that it shows what kind of stinking thinking goes into misogyny. Kind of like the talking points for the mind of a misogynist. These guys LOVE BO.

Are you really arguing otherwise?!

hardly! I’m gloating that for speaking his truth he is being rewarded
his stores are packed with shoppers who are saying hey, it’s ok to disagree with the president. in fact, thanks for speaking up.

mixing business and politics is tricky business, for sure.
i hate the promoting of candidates.
but what mackey did was different.
making a reasoned argument not only about HC policy but made the point that he would not be silenced.

we need more people like this-willing to oppose obama on principle. Let his rabid supporters show their thuggish true colors before the next election.

i know i said it already, but mackey didn’t screw the left, Obama did.
they should be directing their anger at the president.
we are not getting single payer. it will not happen.

when will these fools blame something squarely on Obama?

OH the Kenadies had better watch out…a baseball player is gonna jump in the fray!!! Hit it, catch it be a Senator….

#214 what??

thanks zee

but he doesn’t have all the info about what will actually happen-Malkin does. she’s got the whole agenda laid out.
that’s why I posted her, and b/c I knew it would drive you nuts

how do you know that guy is a puma? drag him to murphy’s next meetup, we’ll put him to work..

and re: WF, not just conservatives are buy-cotting. there are dems and indies doing it too.
my aunt and her same sex ptnr, huge obots, had full health insurance from WF way before it was cool to cover domestic partners, sent me an email telling me to go buy something at whole foods-i was shocked!
if those two are mad at obama he is in deep shit. they were disciples.

BOSTON (AP) – Curt Schilling, the former major league pitcher who won the allegiance of Bostonians by leading the Red Sox to the 2004 World Series, said Wednesday that he has “some interest” in running for the seat held for nearly 50 years by Democratic Sen. Edward M. Kennedy.

Schilling, a registered independent and longtime Republican supporter, wrote on his blog that while his family and video gaming company, 38 Studios, are high priorities, “I do have some interest in the possibility.”

“That being said, to get to there, from where I am today, many, many things would have to align themselves for that to truly happen,” he added.

Any other comment “would be speculation on top of speculation,” Schilling said, adding, “My hope is that whatever happens, and whomever it happens to, this state makes the decision and chooses the best person — regardless of sex, race, religion or political affiliation — to help get this state back to the place it deserves to be.”

Schilling refused to comment when his office was contacted by phone.

@ #210
That guy probably had a heart attack when he read these latest breakthroughs in science:

“DNA swap could cure inherited diseases” http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/science/article6811080.ece

How do you like that? Two Mothers and one father. Possible cure for all inherited diseases? Found in WOMEN! Cure is in HER.

AND: how do you think he likes THIS:
“Scientists Create ‘Artificial Human Sperm’”

@ #220 Yeah, Curt Schilling is a born again Christian and he loved/loves Bush.

Schilling delivers for Bush on ‘Good Morning America’

Will try to read and catch up this evening..but wanted to pass along an email I recieved this morning…for anyone here who still thinks the UK healthcare is good.

Please read..this is what many are concerned will happen under our healthcare bill.
What they do NOT want you to know. Is already happening in the UK..death sentences to the sick..and Doctor’s are trying to stop this!

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/6127514/Sentenced-to-death-on-the-NHS.html

Got this tweet about yesterday’s article:
from TheOpEdProject:
In the LAT, Laura Ling & Euna Lee write about the story that took them over the Chinese border into North Korea. Spectacular writing. Here’s the Ling-Lee op-ed: http://bit.ly/12z5cI
—
“We had traveled to the area to document a grim story of human trafficking for Current TV. During the previous week, we had met and interviewed several North Korean defectors — women who had fled poverty and repression in their homeland, only to find themselves living in a bleak limbo in China. Some had, out of desperation, found work in the online sex industry; others had been forced into arranged marriages.”

Dances, I want what you got! lol. Sounds very nice. Tryin’ to get me envious–you. It’s cool here where I am, in the 60′s now. Will be going out for a lovely stroll to the sidewalk cafe I enjoy. Ahhh yes, the peaceful and relaxing serenity of police sirens, speeding and screeching yellow cabs, subway trains screaming underfoot…mmmm, the solitude…getting felony assaulted (shouldered) by hurried passersby and hit on by loud drunken wooohoo!–new york CI-TAY BAY-BAY! tourists.

jus’ playin’ It’s sweet where I am–going out for a bit though. bbl.

#118 Thank you for your opinion I respect what you have to say.

pumacraig.
How brave you are to protest for free speech. AND I defend your right to protest. We have lost many of our freedoms, we must fight back, you take care and shop where ever you choose.
I am proud to call you Puma, you rock!

((((((PUMAs)))))))

Checking in… Busy day…

pumacraig

I did go to Whole Foods tonight although it was not an orginized event. I shop there from time to time and tonight wore an anti-obama t-shirt. Obots are crazy and don’t seem to mind that they would be desroying a business started and owned by an exemplary CEO John Mackey, that is they would be if their lame boycott was working LOL.
Thanks for posting the facts on Mackey, Nikkismom #160.

And Pumacraig-
I am truely sorry for your hardship. You are an inspiration and I look forward to reading more of your comments here at Pumapac.

#236 Thank you. I have to have help getting my food and I get food from Trader Joe, Farmers Market, Schnuckes etc. Because of my muscular disease (its in the Muscular Dystrophy family)other people do my shopping for me. So it depends on where they want to go. If I were not ill I would grow my own food. I make my own home made bread now. To get anywhere I have to get friends to take me and my wheel chair so for me it wasn’t about WF it was truly about free speech. That was my reason for supporting the buycott. Its OK for others to disagree with my beliefs and opinions and even laugh at them. I will respect and protect there right of Free Speech, no hypocrisy here. We pumas have been here before! I remember when BO was selected over Hillary’s 18 million win. We Pumas individually had to decide if we were going to vote for McCain in protest, Bo, or stay home or vote for a third party. I remember the heated discussions we had at times. As long as BO is in office I expect for Pumas to have difficult discussions and decisions to make. Thats why I respect all opinions here and have no desire to argue my point. I will follow my heart always. I don’t know if I will be alive in 2012 but my crazy unrealistic dream and wish is to see Hillary in that WH. Well good night fellow Pumas sweet dreams.

Goodnight Pumacraig.

Praying for you to stay well and with us waaaaaaaaaay past 2012.
