Yes, it IS personal

Sen. Coburn’s ammendment to the HC bill to stop E.D. drugs from going to child molestors & rapists was voted down last night. Probably because he added other ‘non-starter’ text into the document, but here’s the point: THERE’S NOTHING IN THE BILL TO STOP these criminals from getting E.D. drugs??? Are you f’ing kidding ME????

Coburn:

“This amendment would enact recommendations from the Government Accountability Office to stop fraudulent payments for prescription drugs prescribed by dead providers or, to dead patients. This amendment also prohibits coverage of Viagra and other ED medications to convicted child molesters, rapists, and sex offenders, and prohibits coverage of abortion drugs.”

Trial: abuse expert says Scouts put boys at risk

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The Boy Scouts of America showed reckless indifference to protecting young Scouts when it kept confidential two decades worth of files on suspected molesters among its troop leaders, a psychologist testified Wednesday as part of a $14 million lawsuit against the organization.

Despite creating a remarkably in-depth file about sexual abusers, the Boy Scouts failed to warn parents or tell authorities about suspected or confessed pedophiles, said Gary Schoener, a national expert and consultant on sexual misconduct in the clergy, health care and other segments of society.

Some boys may have become victims because of the silence, he told the Multnomah County Circuit Court jury.

“The Boy Scouts had the information, had the knowledge, had the ability to make a difference,” Schoener said. “And they didn’t.”
The lawsuit was brought by a 37-year-old Klamath Falls man who was abused by an assistant Scoutmaster, Timur Dykes, in the early 1980s. Dykes was convicted three times between 1983 and 1994 of sexually abusing boys, most of them Scouts. He acknowledged abusing the plaintiff in a video deposition played for jurors last week.

Powerful post,Murphy; I felt just what you were saying.

Guy here
I guy who cares about his female relatives
Discovered a little gem this past week. It’s called Glee. I thought the show was going to be silly and disposable but instead I found a means to talk to my neice who is a tween.
She is my brothers daughter she is a straight a student she is a cheerleader she is on the swim team. She can be mean.
I am her gay uncle her mother’s sister had a child to an african american. Her mother’s famiy is racist. Use the N word all the time. Watched an episode of Glee, I think its episode nine called wheels, with the youngun and we talked. And we talked. I let her speak and speak and let her listen to herself. If you have a tween or teen kid you care about this show gives you a lot of opportunity to speak with them.

“WE are living in madness”

Yes, Murphy we are, pure madness, it sucks us in and makes moving forward so very overwhelming difficult.

Wherever you walk, wherever you turn..Madness

A planet in peril and very few aware of the Madness.

Yes, Murphy, it is so very personal ..as it should be.

Alert
I’ve noticed a trend that we have to be alert about, and that is the current push from all sides about those who disagree with Obama’s policies being hate filled. I noticed the dems started that chant when they were making the final push to pass hc, then the media picked up on it and ran with it (even Fox News), and now on NPR the woman who does the entertainment interview shows had her entire show on it today – that there is more hate out there than there has ever, ever been in the whole history of the country, blah, blah, blah. This is a concerted effort to silence opposition from the masses by both parties. We only have the word of the Congresspeople that people shouted hate filled (translation: racist) epithats at them. The silliest I heard was Sheila Jackson Lee (the woman with the beautiful braid around her head) complained that someone said her braid was too tight. I’m trying to figure out how she will claim that as racist. I’m sure that there is some nasty and violent protests against the reps, but watch out for the hyperbole.

Family apologizes after sexual abuse arrest

Crime» Kennard, founder of children’s charity, held without bail, ordered to hire attorney

Heber City » Minutes after a judge ordered 68-year-old Village of Hope co-founder Lon Harvey Kennard held without bail on charges that he sexually abused two of his adopted daughters Wednesday, his family issued a public apology.

Verl Kennard, one of Kennard’s six biological children, provided a prepared statement outside the courtroom and said the family was badly shaken but holding together.

“We want him to pay for what he’s done,” Verl Kennard said of his father. “And we want him to get help.”

The statement reads: “The recent arrest of Lon Harvey Kennard, Sr., who in the past has been a respected citizen, is devastating. Mr. Kennard’s family is supporting the investigation and stands united together through this extremely difficult time. The family apologizes to all the good people, friends, and associates, who along with the family have had their trust betrayed by Lon Senior’s alleged deviant actions and secret life. They request that the media allow them the privacy they need to put their lives back together.”

Kennard is charged with 25 counts of first-degree felony aggravated sexual abuse of a child, 21 counts of second-degree felony sexual exploitation of a minor and one count of witness tampering. According to court documents, the abuse was ongoing between 1995 and 2002. During that time frame, Kennard served as a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints bishop.

This is the second article I came across today about sexual abusers and I am not even looking for this stuff. Just trying to keep up with legislation.

#28 oh i dont take sides when it comes to violence. Like the lou dobbs incident of someone shooting at his house, or some nutjob in arkansas that just murders someone standing outside a recruiting office, or another idiot who kills an abortion doctor, or whoever burned the church down that sarah palin used to go to, but i do believe the media is always the culprit, i swear, i do believe they just love this stuff, huffington post feeds the fires, and then they wonder why americans get upset. I dont know if any racial slurs ever did take place when they were walking in to vote on healthcare, or spitting went on or anything, i dont know that it wasnt teenagers taking advantage of situation and throwing bricks through windows…this is what happens when you have POOR leadership that should have started out with healthcare and not accepted any plan without bipartisan efforts. It’s a know fact that all major bills have been bipartisan, so who really started this mess?

Here is a study to make breast cancer a “you didn’t take care of yourself” disease…

Experts: One-third of breast cancer is avoidable
Last Modified: Thursday, Mar. 25, 2010 – 9:28 am

BARCELONA, Spain — Up to a third of breast cancer cases in Western countries could be avoided if women ate less and exercised more, researchers at a breast cancer conference said Thursday, renewing debate on a sensitive topic.

While better treatments, early diagnosis and mammogram screenings have dramatically slowed the disease, experts said the focus should now shift to changing behaviors like diet and physical activity. The comments added to a series of findings that lifestyle changes in areas such as smoking, eating, exercise and sun exposure can have a significant effect on all sorts of cancer rates.

“What can be achieved with screening has been achieved. We can’t do much more,” Carlo La Vecchia, head of epidemiology at the University of Milan, told The Associated Press. “It’s time to move onto other things.”

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. In Europe, there were about 421,000 new cases and nearly 90,000 deaths in 2008, the latest available figures. The United States last year saw more than 190,000 new cases and 40,000 deaths.

A woman’s lifetime chance of getting breast cancer is about one in eight. Obese women are up to 60 percent more likely to develop any cancer than normal-weight women, according to a 2006 study by British researchers.

Many breast cancers are fueled by estrogen, a hormone produced in fat tissue. So experts suspect that the fatter a woman is, the more estrogen she’s likely to produce, which could in turn spark breast cancer. Even in slim women, exercise can help reduce the cancer risk by converting more of the body’s fat into muscle.

“We hope that no one comes away from these studies with the idea that they’re an attempt to ‘blame’ anyone for breast cancer,” said Diana Rowden, a vice president at Susan G. Komen for the Cure, a breast cancer group in Dallas. Rowden said the research was essential to warn people of their potential risks for developing breast cancer.

After studies several years ago linked hormone replacement therapy to cancer, millions of women abandoned the treatment, leading to a sharp drop in breast cancer rates. Experts said a similar reduction might be seen if women ate better – consuming less fat and more vegetables – and exercised more.

“Women who have early pregnancies are protected against breast cancer, but teenage pregnancy is a social disaster so it’s not something we want to encourage,” she said. “But there’s no downside to reducing obesity and increasing physical activity.”

In the 1980s and 1990s, breast cancer rates steadily increased, in parallel with the rise in obesity and the use of hormone replacement therapy, which involves estrogen.

This could upset the applecart – double standard? nooooooooo

[Come 2014, all 100 U.S. senators, all 435 representatives in the House and every one of their personal aides will have to go to the newly formed state exchanges for health insurance -- just like everyone else in the country who isn't covered by their employer.

But select congressional leadership staffers -- some of whom wrote the health insurance act -- won't. And neither will White House staffers and Cabinet members -- nor the president himself. They will be allowed to keep their current plans, which are offered to all other federal employees.

And now many congressional aides who like their current health insurance policies and will be forced to switch are asking: Why?]

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/03/25/congressional-staffers-complain-double-standard-health-care-law/

So why don’t all Federal employees have to go to the new health exchanges?

Forgive me for sharing that story
I think I wanted to say as women’s month is celebrated I think the most important thing is that our children boys or girls be able to express themselves, which means we have to talk to them about who they are and not about heros. Let’s let them become their own heroins by knowing who they are. The only way to do that is to listen to them. Nothing cripples like shame.

Deere Says New Health Care Reform Law Will Increase 2010 Expense By $150 Million After-Tax

MOLINE, Illinois (March 25, 2010) — Deere & Company announced today that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act signed into law this week will adversely impact its expenses for fiscal 2010. As a result of the legislation, the company’s expenses are expected to be about $150 million higher on an after-tax basis, primarily in the second quarter. This impact was not included in the 2010 outlook for net income attributable to Deere & Company of approximately $1.3 billion disclosed in the company’s first-quarter earnings report on February 17th.

Vote for women. Period. Yes, these women sold out. Hillary would’ve voted for this mess had she been in the Senate. You can’t buck the Narrative. to change the Narrative we have to change the power base.

Thanks for the tip on Glee, I will definitely check it out.

But vote for women.

obama is preaching and speechifying again, i know all of you are so asking yourselves, really, please sistermoon3 we are aware of that, but dont ya kinda think it’s funny actually, even this makes for him to speechyify, it’s almost like now, let me go and brag to everyone about what i have done so they will love me, they will truly truly love me. He’s got issues because that is his only true talent, he is the spokesman of the universe, the best speech maker ever wow, let’s all just kneel down

regarding the war on obesity, etc, as we’ve discussed before. Over at TGW they noted that Zerobama’s put a tax on tanning salons. First they came for the smokers, then the drinkers, now the tanners.

It won’t be long before they tax butter and bacon. And not cover you if you engage in “risky” behavior such as eating BLTs and egg salad.

Zee
one more Glee plug
It is episode 9 called wheels and if I had begged every educator to design a show to talk to my niece about life I doubt they could have come up with a better format. The key is to discuss.

henry, I’m completely with you on Glee. I caught flak from modern “feminist” friends for “letting” my son watch those wrestling shows. I watched with him…we could enjoy the campiness together and I got to point out the sexist parts I didn’t approve of, from an insider’s POV.

I look forward to checking out Glee.

Zee, the tax items are only the tip of the iceberg. I can see them indoctrinating our little ones to see “MOM and DAD” as evil or stupid if some meals contain french fries, red meat, or chocolate. When Uncle Sam becomes a Nanny State, as if looks it may, watch out for loss of freedom, loss of choice, and confidence.

Zee

episode wheels

Putting on my white burque and singing……………..

Every sperm is sacred…………

Henry, you shouldn’t apologize for talking to us in a personal way. That’s how we get to know each other.

On the vote women idea, not all of us will vote for all women. The idea is to get more women in congress that will represent 52% of the population and in time, help women. I am still going to vote for any good Dem. male, depending on their voting record……………..if I can find one.
If I have only a choice of one ‘good’ (in MY opinion) male, and one right winged female Repug…I will vote for the male.
It’s my vote and we each have our reasons.

in addition, I have always voted for the woman Democrat when there is no voting record of all choices on the ballot, and I will continue to do so. I will vote out as many incumbents as I can except for Diane Feinstein and I am still wavering on Boxer.

What Obama said today about trying to repeal the bill:
“Be my guest,” Obama said in prepared remarks for the first of many appearances around the country to sell the overhaul to voters before the fall congressional elections. “I welcome that fight. Because I don’t believe the American people are going to put the insurance industry back in the driver’s seat.”

and like sir, we are supposed to want the government in the driver’s seat? If you can fly all over the land, let insurance companies compete across state lines, and they nor you will be in the driver’s seat, they will have to compete. just like the phone companies do and car insurances do, that brings down prices, correct me if im wrong.

people who should be in prison:
Bill Ayers
George Soros
Father Murphy

Once upon a time i found out quite accidentally a guest in our home had fondled a son of mine’s privates, i immediately went to his house where he was at home with his little two year old son running around naked. I told him if he ever touched any of my children again or came to my home again i would have him arrested and that if i ever found out he touched his own son i would be a witness and testify how I had found him out. ( my son said it as we were driving by his house he was 10) that’s when i went to his house.
Later, his oldest son commited suicide, he was convicted of molesting young boys and went to prison and the mother found that two year old had been molested as well.
I dont know if that person alive or dead today, but I take it quite personal. indeed.

Is your son okay? is he able to have and to nurture long term relationships?

Bernanke Says U.S. Fiscal Outlook ‘Somewhat Dark’

March 25 (Bloomberg) — Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke told lawmakers today that the U.S. government’s budget outlook is “somewhat dark” and Congress needs to agree on a plan to reduce the deficit.

He spoke in response to a question about the budget impact of the health-care overhaul signed into law this week by President Barack Obama. Bernanke declined to discuss the effect of the health measure, saying he didn’t want to “second guess” the Congressional Budget Office.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) – When California voters head to the polls in November, they will decide whether the state will make history again – this time by legalizing the recreational use of marijuana for adults.

The state was the first to legalize medicinal marijuana use, with voters passing it in 1996. Since then, 14 states have followed California’s lead, even though marijuana remains illegal under federal law.

Obama: please donate to defend health reform (an email)

scarlett –

We knew that power concedes nothing. So did President Obama. So did the members of Congress who courageously voted for reform, knowing that the special interests and the extreme right wing would retaliate swiftly.

The attacks are fierce. Deceptive ads are hitting the airwaves in swing districts. GOP lawmakers are pushing to repeal reform — and preventing the Senate from performing basic functions. A few Republican attorneys general have launched a baseless attack to overturn the legislation. But that’s not even the worst of it.

A conservative blogger posted the home address of Congressman Tom Perriello, urging tea partiers to “drop by.” Other members have had death threats. Democratic offices have been vandalized.

Please chip in $5 or more to defend health reform — and those in Congress who fought to make it possible.

Showing support for reform and those who fought for it is our number one priority right now. We’re going all-out, organizing grassroots events around the country, running supportive ads on the air, and making sure that every American knows the truth about the historic legislation that representatives voted into law.

Members of Congress know that reform would not have passed without all of your incredible work. But we also know that it would not have passed without their courage.

Together, along with President Obama, we beat the insurance companies and brought affordable coverage to 32 million without it, reduced costs for families and small businesses, and created the toughest patient protections in history.

A few weeks ago, we made a simple promise to these representatives: You fight for health reform, we’ll fight for you. It’s time to hold up our end of the deal. Please donate $5 or more:

In Iowa, Obama Calls Health Bill ‘Pro-Business’
By SHERYL GAY STOLBERG
IOWA CITY — President Obama on Thursday began an aggressive White House public relations blitz to sell his newly signed health care overhaul to a skeptical and sometimes confused public, calling the measure “pro-jobs” and “pro-business” and taunting Republicans who are vowing to repeal it.

“My attitude is, go for it!” Mr. Obama declared, challenging his critics at a campaign-style rally here. “If these congressmen in Washington want to come here to Iowa and tell small business owners that they plan to take away their tax credits and essentially raise their taxes, be my guest.”

Several thousand people turned out to hear the president speak at the University of Iowa Field House here, in the city where he first laid out detailed plans for “affordable, universal health care in America” as a presidential candidate in May 2007. But while the gymnasium was filled with cheering supporters, the president also faced heckling, over one feature of his initial proposal that did not make it into the law: a “public option,” or government-backed insurance plan.

“What about the public option?” a man called out, interrupting the president in an exchange that seemed momentarily to throw Mr. Obama off stride by forcing him to depart from the remarks he was reading off a TelePrompTer.

“That’s not in it!” Mr. Obama called back.

“Why not?” the man replied.

“Because we couldn’t get it through Congress, that’s why,” Mr. Obama said. The heckler started up again, and the president admonished him: “There’s no need to shout, young man, no need to shout. Thirty two people — 32 million people are going to have health insurance because of this legislation.”

Congress completes overhaul of health care

WASHINGTON – Capping an epic struggle, congressional Democrats put the final touches Thursday to historic legislation enshrining health care as the right of every citizen. Republicans vowed to campaign for repeal in the fall election season, drawing a quick retort from President Barack Obama: “I welcome that fight.”

The president spoke in Iowa as the Senate voted 56-43 for legislation making changes, including better benefits for seniors and low-income and middle-class families, to the bill he signed into law with a flourish at the White House on Tuesday.

The House added its approval a few hours later, 220-207, clearing the way for Obama’s signature on the second of two bills that marked the culmination of what the president called “a year of debate and a century of trying” to ensure coverage for nearly all in a nation where millions lack it.

Now they can all leave on their Spring break… while the rest of the country suffers.

For all you Sarah Palin supporters, Greta just announced Sarah will have her own ‘reality’ show, 8 parts on TLC. It will be about Sarah showing off Alaska.

I have been watching Greta since 2008, and always loved her as an attorney during the OJ trial. I have been listening, trying to figure out if she is a Repug. (she interviews a lot of Repugs I don’t like) or a Dem. (her husband was a strong Hillary supporter.

Today I am ready to guess she is a centralist Democrat. She admitted today to a Repug. senator that she wanted Heath Care…….didn’t say, O’care. I think she wanted Hillary’s Universal Heath Care.

I can’t think of one single “religion” that I do not hold is disrepute.
The only good news is that Pope Benedict XVI is the second to last pope according to prophesy.
One more pope and the Catholic Church will be destroyed, if you believe in seers.

By the way Murphy:

One of the best I’ve read anywhere on this issue.

Few, if any, “journalists” have the guts or the will to say what you have said, much less the emotional intelligence to understand its depth and scope.

We all feel your pain for the children and your rage at an injustice so egregious, it epitomizes inhumanity gone insane.

scarlet 03.25.10 at 10:43 pm

Terry Do – isn’t it the world would be destroyed?
**********************

Well supposedly that will begin the end of days and the Third world war will be against the Muslims.

Pope Benedict XVI…The Glory of the Olive. The Order of St. Benedict has said this Pope will come from their order. It is interesting that Jesus gave his apocalyptic prophecy about the end of time from the Mount of Olives. This Pope will reign during the beginning of the tribulation Jesus spoke of. The 111th prophesy is “Gloria Olivae” (The Glory of the Olive). The Order of Saint Benedict has claimed that this pope will come from their ranks. Saint Benedict himself prophesied that before the end of the world his Order, known also as the Olivetans, will triumphantly lead the Catholic Church in its fight against evil.

10. PETER THE ROMAN – This final Pope will likely be Satan, taking the form of a man named Peter who will gain a worldwide allegiance and adoration. He will be the final antichrist which prophecy students have long foretold. If it were possible, even the very elect would be deceived. The 112th prophesy states: “In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign Petrus Romanus, who will feed his flock amid many tribulations; after which the seven-hilled city will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people. The End.”
Malachy’s final words, “Rome, the seat of the Vatican, will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people.”

And many more predictions can be read on this website.

Racial slurs at the Tea Party – Really??? Prove it or STFU!!

Andrew Brietbart is offering $10,000 to anyone that has video of the moment – link also has lots of video from different angles (including the video below) that shows the “spitting” moment. Cripes – 2 members of the caucus had video cameras THEMSELVES – surely, they’ll present the video and get their $10,000 right?

When people continue to hurl the “racist” charge where it doesn’t it exist, it loses its true meaning.

…despite his doubts, liberal Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) has moved even further into the center of the Democratic Party fold, sending out what an aide said was his first-ever fundraising appeal for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee…

“Even those of us, such as myself, who felt the bill should have gone farther understand the great progress that Democrats have made in overcoming extraordinary resistance to chart a new beginning for our nation.”

The letter closed by invoking Obama’s campaign slogan “‘Yes We Can.”

I just returned my second Democratic Presidential Survey form to the DNC with the note that I’m going to save my contribution until Nov. 2010 when I’ll use it to vote you all out of office.

A bullet that hit a window in Republican U.S. Rep. Eric Cantor’s office building appears to have been fired randomly into the air, police said Thursday.

Cantor announced at a Capitol Hill news conference Thursday that a shot had been fired into his Richmond campaign office.

In addressing reporters, he denounced threats and vandalism against Democrats who passed sweeping health care reform legislation that has angered conservatives, but accused senior Democrats of inciting retribution against Republicans.

“It is reckless to use these incidents as media vehicles for political gain,” Cantor told reporters.

Half of U.S. Home Loan Modifications Default Again

March 25 (Bloomberg) — More than half of U.S. borrowers who received loan modifications on delinquent mortgages defaulted again after nine months, according to a federal report.

The re-default rate of loans modified in the first quarter of 2009 was 51.5 percent by the end of the year, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Office of Thrift Supervision said in a joint report today. The figure, which measures payments at least 30 days late, climbed to 57.9 percent for changes made in the prior 12 months.

U.S. homeowners are struggling to make payments as depressed housing prices leave them owing more than their properties are worth. About 24 percent of properties with a mortgage were underwater in the fourth quarter, First American CoreLogic said last month. The median price of a U.S. home was $165,100 in February, down 28 percent from its peak in July 2006, according to the National Association of Realtors.

Modifications are “clearly not working well and it’s not a surprise,” said Sam Khater, a senior economist at First American CoreLogic in Tysons Corner, Virginia. “It’s pointless to rewrite these loans because they’re underwater.”

The number of homes with mortgage payments at least 60 days late climbed 2.39 million in the fourth quarter, up 13.1 percent from the prior three months and 49.6 percent from the year earlier period, the quarterly Mortgage Metrics report said.

“Behind every strong, successful man, is a very surprised woman.”

Quote from Sarah Palin on Greta.

One thing I haven’t seen on any feminist boards is the fact that at the present time abortions are what I would consider inexpensive—in the 100s of dollars. If insurance does cover abortions than that price will skyrocket. Hasn’t anyone ever gotten the with insurance quote along with the without insurance quote? I’m thinking the new cost would possibly be around $8000 based on my recent procedure—a uterine ablation. So the deductible with come into play which means women will pay $1000 or more. I’m thinking that it’s best to keep things the way they are. Yes, it sounds bad for the cause, but if cost is important at all then let it be. We need to use our heads.
Now about the Catholic church. I consider myself to be a very tolerant person when it comes to other’s religious beliefs, but I have no idea how a decent person would want to remain a Catholic. What these priests have done, starting with the pope on down, is disgusting and criminal. The Catholic system is one that keeps men in bizarre power positions over their followers. It is anything but Christian.

“That priest, the Rev. Tom Schroeder, 72, who led Masses for the deaf in Madison from 1970 to 1992, said in an interview Friday that he remembered Mr. Geier’s telling him about Father Murphy. Father Schroeder said that he told a nun, who told another nun who was a dormitory supervisor at St. John’s, but that the supervisor did not believe it and nothing ever came of it.
“I assumed that if enough people told her, she would finally believe it,” Father Schroeder said.”

Be careful about the term ‘abortion pill’ and ‘abortifacients.’ It’s probably better to say ‘emergency contraceptive’.

Heavy Casualties in Afghanistan and Iraq

Unusual in this report, are the names of two female soldiers who died in Iraq. One, a NW soldier, died when her base was attacked by rocket fire. The second female soldier died from injuries suffered during a vehicle crash.

(SALEM, Ore.) – The fighting in both Afghanistan and Iraq continues to claim many American lives. This report includes the names of seventeen members of the U.S. military who paid the ultimate price. Their deaths occurred between 5 March and 24 March 2010.

There is an AHAB IN THE WHITE HOUSE

From Phil Radford, executive director of Greenpeace USA (my emphasis
throughout):I cannot believe that I am writing you
this letter …

The international ban on commercial whaling, which Greenpeace fought
tirelessly to pass in the 1980’s, is now in critical danger of being
overturned.

A proposal has been put forth at the International W…haling Commission
(IWC) that would not only reinstate commercial whaling around the
world, it would legitimize Japan’s “scientific” slaughter in the
Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. Nearly 25 years of protection for the
whales could be tossed out the window if this proposal passes at the
next IWC meeting in June 2010.

Shockingly, the Obama administration’s representatives at the
IWC actually support the deal to reinstate commercial whaling and are
urging other nations to do the same. The delegates say that their
directive comes directly from President Obama himself.http://www.distantocean.com/2010/03/theres-an-ahab-in-the-white-house.html

Gonorrhea Lectim….serious disease

Very important information has just been made public that I think is
something you should all be aware of:

Gonorrhea Lectim The Center for Disease Control has issued a warning
about a new virulent strain of this old disease.

The disease is called Gonorrhea Lectim. It’s pronounced “Gonna
re-elect ‘im.”

The disease is contracted through dangerous and high risk behavior
involving putting your cranium up your rectum. Many victims contracted
it in 2008 ….. but now most people after having been infected for the
past 1-2 years are starting to realize how destructive this sickness is.
It’s sad because it is so easily cured with a new procedure just coming
on the market called Votemout! It is pronounced ” Vote m out”

You take the first dose/step in 2010 and the second dosage in 2012 and
simply don’t engage in such behavior again, otherwise it could become
permanent and eventually wipe out all life as we know it. Several states
are already on top of this like Virginia and New Jersey, and apparently
now Massachusetts with many more seeing the writing on the wall. Please
pass this important message on to all those bright folk you really care
about.

Morning pumas. Just checked in to let you know that my computer died on me last night so I won’t be commenting everyday like I usually do. I feel cut off from the world but I don’t want to spend money repairing it at this time. Will borrow a computer when I can and check in to see what is being discussed. See you later.

theamericanway – #186 – I plan on hammering everyone I know that voted for Obama with every one of these reports coming out – day-after-day. These companies are required by black-letter financial accounting rules (setup by Democrats in Congress – how’s that for irony) to restate their financial earnings when new legislation is issued. Funny how that’s biting them in the ass this week.

Ski Resorts – New Hampshire – less employees will be hired next year, thanks to HC bill

http://www.wmur.com/money/22957803/detail.html

Businesses that don’t provide health insurance to those workers could face a $2,000 fine for every employee without coverage. For ski resorts, 120 days would stretch from Thanksgiving until the first weekend in April.

“We want to comply with the law, but we need to do it in a way that’s economically feasible,” said Alice Pearce of SkiNH.

Pearce said the original Senate version of the health care bill had a more forgiving threshold. It used a 150-day baseline and imposed a $750 fine. SkiNH said that model would have provided enough leeway for ski areas, but big ski resorts could now face about $1 million in fines if they don’t comply.

“It could result in fewer employees being hired, and we’d hate to see that because employees are important for guest services,” Pearce said.

Your Medical Records Aren’t Secure

In 2002, under President George W. Bush, the right of a patient to control his most sensitive personal data—from prescriptions to DNA—was eliminated by federal regulators implementing the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. Those privacy notices you sign in doctors’ offices do not actually give you any control over your personal data; they merely describe how the data will be used and disclosed.

In a January 2009 speech, President Barack Obama said that his administration wants every American to have an electronic health record by 2014, and last year’s stimulus bill allocated over $36 billion to build electronic record systems. Meanwhile, the Senate health-care bill just approved by the House of Representatives on Sunday requires certain kinds of research and reporting to be done using electronic health records. Electronic records, Mr. Obama said in his 2009 speech, “will cut waste, eliminate red tape and reduce the need to repeat expensive medical tests [and] save lives by reducing the deadly but preventable medical errors that pervade our health-care system.”

But electronic medical records won’t accomplish any of these goals if patients fear sharing information with doctors because they know it isn’t private. When patients realize they can’t control who sees their electronic health records, they will be far less likely to tell their doctors about drinking problems, feelings of depression, sexual problems, or exposure to sexually transmitted diseases. In 2005, a California Healthcare Foundation poll found that one in eight Americans avoided seeing a regular doctor, asked a doctor to alter a diagnosis, paid privately for a test, or avoided tests altogether due to privacy concerns.

Today our lab test results are disclosed to insurance companies before we even know the results. Prescriptions are data-mined by pharmacies, pharmaceutical technology vendors, hospitals and are sold to insurers, drug companies, employers and others willing to pay for the information to use in making decisions about you, your job or your treatments, or for research. Self-insured employers can access employees’ entire health records, including medications. And in the past five years, according to the nonprofit Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, more than 45 million electronic health records were either lost, stolen by insiders (hospital or government-agency employees, health IT vendors, etc.), or hacked from outside.

Absolutely true! Checking in later!

This graph of the Fraud’s approval rating is pretty interesting. Polls from many different sites over time and the negative vs positive scores are almost a perfect mirror image.

Another thing that jumped out at me was the percentage of scores that are accounted for by DailyKos…………

http://www.pollster.com/polls/us/fav-obama.php

To my way of thinking, this is the best representation the Fraud could possibly get and I would say the rating of the real public is much lower for Bracko than this in the real world.

Who’s White?
By LINDA GORDON

Nell Irvin Painter’s title, “The History of White People,” is a provocation in several ways: it’s monumental in sweep, and its absurd grandiosity should call to mind the fact that writing a “History of Black People” might seem perfectly reasonable to white people. But the title is literally accurate, because the book traces characterizations of the lighter-skinned people we call white today, starting with the ancient Scythians. For those who have not yet registered how much these characterizations have changed, let me assure you that sensory observation was not the basis of racial nomenclature.

General Motors recalls heavy duty vans

WASHINGTON, March 27 (UPI) — General Motors Co. said nearly 5,000 of the U.S. company’s heavy duty vans are being recalled amid concerns of potential engine fires.

The Detroit News said Saturday while General Motors is recalling thousands of heavy-duty 2010 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana passenger and cargo vans, GM spokesman Alan Adler assured the public the recall issue has not resulted in any accidents or injuries to date.

Adler said three fires did take place after the vans were manufactured and left the assembly plant. The vans being recalled were all manufactured in February or March.

Owners of the vehicles are being asked to stop driving the vans and General Motors is no longer selling the vehicles.

The Detroit News said van owners are also being asked to keep the vehicles outside away from buildings and, if owners are capable, to disconnect the vehicle’s battery cables.

General Motors said the recall is focused on the 2500, three-quarter ton, and 3500, one-ton, Series vans.

http://www.upi.com/Business_News/2010/03/27/General-Motors-recalls-heavy-duty-vans/UPI-19281269704705/

Cars used to be manufactured and seldom, if ever, have recalls. Now, we have cars that catch on fire and accelerate by themselves. If only 3 caught fire after the vans left the assembly plant, did the others caught fire before?

Interesting premise for that article.

Most Say Tea Party Has Better Understanding of Issues than Congress

In official Washington, some consider the Tea Party movement a fringe element in society, but voters across the nation feel closer to the Tea Party movement than they do to Congress.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 52% of U.S. voters believe the average member of the Tea Party movement has a better understanding of the issues facing America today than the average member of Congress. Only 30% believe that those in Congress have a better understanding of the key issues facing the nation.

When it comes to those issues, 47% think that their own political views are closer to those of the average Tea Party member than to the views of the average member of Congress. On this point, 26% feel closer to Congress.

Finally, 46% of voters say that the average Tea Party member is more ethical than the average member of Congress. Twenty-seven percent (27%) say that the average member of Congress is more ethical.

As you would expect, there is a wide divide between the Political Class and Mainstream Americans on these questions. Seventy-five percent (75%) of those in the Political Class say that members of Congress are better informed on the issues. Among Mainstream Americans, 68% have the opposite view, and only 16% believe Congress is better informed.

Murphy,

I saw an article about the priest Murphy. Apparently, the Church stopped Murphy’s trial after he sent a letter to the Vatican saying he was ill and wanted to live the rest of his life in the “dignity” of the priesthood. He did not deserve any dignity. His victims never had the satisfaction of seeing him brought to justice.

it’s not surprising at all that these white men were responsible for tipping it to Brown…or that they supported Obama in 2008. The glaring common issue is not Obama… it’s that the delicate pigs would feel too emasculated to vote for a woman.

Pope, in Sermon, Says He Won’t Be Intimidated

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) — Pope Benedict, facing one of the gravest crises of his pontificate as a sexual abuse scandal sweeps the Church, indicated on Sunday that his faith would give him the courage not to be intimidated by critics.

The 82-year-old pontiff led tens of thousands of people in a sunny St. Peter’s Square in a Palm Sunday service at the start of Holy Week events commemorating the last days in the life of Jesus.

While he did not directly mention the scandal involving sexual abuse of children by priests, parts of his sermon could be applicable to the crisis.

The pontiff said faith in God helps lead one “towards the courage of not allowing oneself to be intimidated by the petty gossip of dominant opinion.”

He also spoke of how man can sometimes “fall to the lowest, vulgar levels” and “sink into the swamp of sin and dishonesty.”

One prayer asked God to help “the young and those who work to educate and protect them,” which Vatican Radio said was intended to “sum up the feelings of the Church at this difficult time when it confronts the plague of pedophilia.”

As the scandal has convulsed the Church, the Vatican has gone on the offensive, attacking the media for what it called an “ignoble attempt” to smear Pope Benedict and his top advisers.

STOCK UP ON FORM 1099s

Quincy businessman Mike Nobis went to Springfield on Tuesday for an informational meeting on how the new health care law will affect businesses.

“I just about had a heart attack … when I learned that in 2012 every business is going to have to do a 1099 (tax report) on every business-to-business transaction over $600,” Nobis said.

Nobis wondered what those hundreds of business-to-business transactions have to do with health care. Experts with the National Federation of Independent Business speculate that the 1099 provisions were going to help generate fines when “16,000 new auditors” are hired by the Internal Revenue Service.

Paying workers too little will trigger fines, and providing too much insurance coverage will trigger penalties.

“If that many people are going to get insurance, somebody’s going to pay for it. It’s a $900 billion cost, and the government has one way of raising money, and that’s to levy taxes,” Cox said.

According to the National Federation of Independent Business’ analysis, employers with 50 or more employees will face penalties of $3,000 per subsidized employee or $750 for all employees, whichever is lower.

Nobis said that’s a huge cost because families earning about $88,000 a year would be eligible for subsidies based on the federal poverty level of $22,050.

Companies and individuals with health savings accounts or flexible savings accounts will be affected in 2011. Some purchases will no longer be allowed, including most over-the-counter medications prescribed by doctors. HSAs and FSAs will be de-emphasized as health care reforms take effect. Maximum annual contributions to HSAs will be capped at $2,500, down from $5,000.

Companies that provide expensive insurance plans — exceeding $8,500 a year for an individual or $23,000 for a family — will face a 40 percent excise tax starting in 2013. This provision has caused many business owners to question why Congress wants to limit health care by attacking what are called “Cadillac plans.”

lol, Swannie and angrynana!

But….one of the judges was a woman, who ruled that the cops were in order by tasering a nonthreatening citizen who’d already been cited and received her ticket. they overturned the lower court, which found in favor of the victim.

I wonder when we’ll reach the point of fearing the police, who are supposed to be our protectors? In Rhode Island they recently fired one cop and suspended another (with pay) for a threesome with a woman in a wooded lot. They were on duty and ignored calls while getting their freak on.

The fired cop whined that he was a “good man” and shouldn’t be fired and continued that he should never have *allowed* the “female” to pleasure him and….herself. Classic.

That was from Fark.com, originally from a Warwick RI paper.

The fired cop whined that he was a “good man” and shouldn’t be fired and continued that he should never have *allowed* the “female” to pleasure him and….herself. Classic.
********************************

So what this cop was stating is that, he was such a lousy F**k that the female had to “pleasure herself”

So, I will assume for my own pleasure, that the cop that got fired was the lousy F**k and the one that was suspended managed to tickle the female’s fancy…LOL

((((Pumas)))) I am doing a drive by. I have so much to catch up on. I survived my first week at work. OMG, I have been working 16 hours a day. I come home and my feet are swollen, back is freakin killing me. This is the first day I had off, and had to do all the usual household shit to catch up.
I have so far put all the men in that place in check, including the owner! You know I couldn’t keep my mouth shut I will tell you all about it another time. I sold a car the first day I came out on the sales floor Woot! So the men pretty much leave me alone, which I love. I hear the whispers, and see the looks, but I just go on about my own business. I told them I don’t give a shit what you think about me, I am here to make money, not friends. fuckwits!
just thought I would check in and tell you how much I miss everyone. I have been so busy, I haven’t even had time to check the blog or fb. Thank godess for my text msgs from Dance, Swannie and others. Keeps me updated.
anyway, finishing laundry, doing my online training on Ford products to become certified, and going to bed in a while….

I want the stories sooner not later!

I love that you sold a car straight off! Nothing shuts up the know-it-alls faster!

As to the feet. Try to get shoes easy to slip off discreetly so you can curl and flex your toes. Also, remember that storks stand on one foot in order to rest the other leg! You can slip one foot behind the other ankle and switch off. Finally, if you can, bring a spare pair of shoes. Oddly enough, switching heel heights or shoe fits can help.

oh, yes, and ISLAM SUCKS. The Chechens used to have their own unique beautiful pagan beliefs and rituals. The belief system was based on FARMING. As opposed to the UGLY ISLAMIC practice of blowing people up in order to rape virgins for an eternity.

Glimpsed an article recently that said something about implanting breasts with explosives as a way to reach targets undetected. If I come across the article again I’ll post the link.
