Capirulate and not run a candidate for office, and let the Republicans have the opportunity to continue their train wreck. Unless Obama can pull a miracle out of his butt, any Republicans thay win in 010 or 012 will find themselves in the same trap the democrats supposedly fell in.
Yes it's orating when favorite programing is pre-empted by the drives, also it's irritating when the networks pre-empt regular programming for sports. But it's not good for the soul to sweat it. Evidently the selected plague drive programming works for the stations or they wouldn't be aired. A letter with your donation, would be more effective in expressing your displesure than harrashing the phone bank volunteers, but I wouldn;t expect sny changes in the pledge drives.
Then let the financial world pay the piper. Let them work for the trickle down from the money used to rescue the unemployed, retirees, and others. Until the money handlers suffer as much or more than the general population this crap is going to happen again, and again....
"He could have bypassed the VA system on gone on Medicaid."
I doubt it. A young outwardly healthy appearing male would be told by the civilian system, what the military is telling these broken men. Suck it it up and get a job. I mean no disrespect when I say broken men. I'm not military I suffered a disabling brain injury 15 years ago. Unlike these young veterans, as a civilian, I was able to build assets, when I was broken at age 37. While I don't know much( as in nothing) about the military side of things is does appear help for these veterans is going have come from the civilian sector. Unless these vets are diagnosed with an illness or disability the social services will help them with, the everyday citizens need to learn how they can help. WE are the government and it's our responsibility to help those hurt by those we elected to do the administration of the government.
A cook will prepare you a hearty meal that tastes great. A chef just may make you a meal that tastes tastes good, but leave unsatisfied. Being feed by a chef is like having sex with hot hooker, OK at the moment, but ultimately not that satisfying.
The article was about Bill Clinton's interaction with other World leaders. Unless the riots had a direct connection to Clinton, they aren't relevant for this article. The riots may merit an article of their own, I don't know.
But have your guard up to deflect the spin that will ensue from the GOP and, corporate media.
Any President will be at their lamest between the November election, and the inauguration in January. Just an act of desperation on the part of GWB, and may not be the only one. I wouldn't relax until Obama, and Biden are sworn into office. Who knows what the timid Democrats in Congress would do. They should not let the public forget that we where attack, and the economy tank on the Re publican's watch. Admit the tanking of the economy was a bipartisan effort, only after thy the Democrats have the watch, and are ready to do something about mistakes made.
The 4 legged kind. From the ecceptance speech it sounds like barrack had promised his girls a puppy. For himself Barrack should get for himself a doug from the pound. He is going to need some one who's always glad to see him even when the rest of the family has had a bad day. Camelot this is not going to be.
The idea that Christians will not be strong a political force in utterly ridiculous. Because they are failing to force a few select issues on every one else? The idea that the US could become a Muslim country is equally ridiculous. In over two centuries Christians have been unable to make the US a truly Christian country. In the event of an Obama win, are all the Christians leaving, and those remaining converting to the Muslim faith? What this article reports, and some of the comments made, reflect that those who have so much can't recognise what they have. I'd rather have had better choices, but I can't see myself voting for an old man that appears to be entering senility, and Caribou Barbie, who may or may not be a feminazi. While I don't fear an Obama win, I don't expect much. The problems within the USA are too big,too complex, and too many.
Man that rant is getting old and tiresome. MSM is the corporate owned media. The reason why they have been giving GWB and the Republicans a pass for the lat 10 years or so. They give the same pass to those democrats who do the bidding of the merchant/banking class, as well.
Time to fundementally change how Americans how select those charged with running the business of The USA. Public funding of Federal campaigns, instant run off elections.
Though I may be a dirty old man, it's not entirely my fault, as I suspect that's why the article was titled as it was.
Anyway why would anyone think the teen girl needs to be charged criminally? Sexual harassment, would make sense if anyone felt sexually harassed. Good luck on finding a hetero teen male, to admit that. The most chilling realization to come from this is sooner or later minors, may use this technology to get back at adults, who don't cave into kids demands. If such a photo where ever to show up on my phone, I'd connect the memory card to my desk top to use a file shredder on it, then physically pulverize it, and then burn the pieces
