President Obama took his health care reform push on the road yesterday, saying in Green Bay, Wisconsin, that those concerned with high costs and rising deficits should be proponents of a change to an ailing system. He aimed his comments at GOP opponents of Dem-backed proposals for a government-funded national health care option intended to ensure that 47 million Americans can afford coverage.

Iranians began voting today on whether to keep hard-line President Ahmadinejad in power for four more years or replace him with a reformist more open to loosening the country’s Islamic restrictions and improving ties with the U.S.

The Obama administration struck a delicate balance on executive pay yesterday, blaming flawed compensation packages for encouraging disastrous risk-taking but insisting it doesn’t want to dictate how corporation reward their top people.

I was just listening to my podcast, and decided to look up von Brunn's opinion on 9/11, because the right calls him a "9/11 truther". That is crap. 9/11 Truthers believe that the bush crime family (including the Cheney family) caused 9/11, either through direct action or through inaction. von Brunn claims the Illuminati caused 9/11. That is not a 9/11 truther at all!

Legend has it that the Illuminati were intelligent. Does that sound like w? And Cheney just seems like a bully to me. He was what Bill O'Reilly would be if he was Vice President.

Thanks for the welcome, have a great weekend, see you next time I have a morning off!

481---I am PLENTY book smart in one of my professions (teaching) but I met many situations in the inner city that no professor ever prepared me for. But I think in teaching there is a lot of hiding of the facts about what kind of stuff teachers may deal with in the inner city. They don't tell them 'cause they are afraid the teachers will leave the profession evenb before they start.

Have a great weekend.

Peace Out, y'alls!

Well, I have nothing to say about that reality show cause I only saw 20 minutes of one episode.

Have a good weekend all. I'm trying to help get Obama's health care plan some support this weekend and you know what I don't like about grassroots politics? I don't like arguing with people who disagree.

I did try to call a RW talk show yesterday and make a comment to the loony hostess but when I called no one answered. How odd. They advertise a call in number but the won't pick up the phone.

Oh well----fight the good fight!

#470 Agreed. It's possible to be 'book smart' but not have the ability to apply that knowledge to real-world situations. But then, I guess that would be demonstating 'empathy'. ;)

Have a great weekend
see you all on the funway

So, is Hal still doing fill-in during Mama and the Mooks' vaca, or will Frangela be here?

SPARTAMAYOR ! - - - crap! that was late.

Bye all! Welcome back to the mean streets Frangela!

Puck and Janice!

tea tree oil also a good repellant

Happy weekend, all.

441 she thinks your a stalker?

---------------------------------------------------------------------
She knows you're a stalker.

463 storebought is nice but nothing beats homemade

Sotomayor---test scores are only one measure of a candidate. And yet we worship them, especially under the Bush NCLB doctrine.

I wonder what the heck Janice Dickinson is sick with that prohibits her doing challenges, yet doesn't mean to sick to stay in Costa Rica. (Sleeping with someone, fronted a huge sum of money to producers, her pee keeps away the puma?)

464: mills lane. better ref!

462: strange how the knight moves, when you just dont seem to have as much to lose.

436 Puck! great ref

God wanted to see if the surgeon makes better boobs them him.

441 she thinks your a stalker?

larva lamp! now I get it

Frang - oregano oil will kill most any nasty critters you might have acquired.

Dickinson has a doctor's excuse to sit there and do nothing. She should just leave.

453: paul harvey started it - actually read a story about "the who", but thott the story was about the W.H.O. - because by the time "the who" formed, paul harvey was already too old to rock and roll. - and now you know the rest of the story. good....

450 cheers Sarah! splice the main brace!

Frangela Costa Rica? already lived thru Detroit

Steph had ebola?

Did Stephanie just call the World Health Organization "The Who"?

post 451 and i'm fair in height. coincidence?

inspect them with a larva lamp

Friday Lunch Soon
When you know him as well as I do you can call him John Daniels

I loved the fight over the shampoo with John Salley. He's completely bald.

443-too funny.

I LOVE watching Janice Dickenson. True freak who's fun to watch. What is she, about 70?

We all saw her pee on camera.

and the anacondas attract jon voight. gross!

Frangela handled the little boy well. Janice is nasty.

I love the footage of Dickinson eating the stolen granola bar.

Damn, Angela probably knows where Hoffa is buried! ;)

437: why doesnt jennifer shahade ever answer my droolingly passionate letters?

437----see? A little known fact.

Speidi is long gone from the jungle. Great relief.

416 Some people lack a sense of humor. LOL
