See my post above asking you to do a Control+F search for the word "moderation" on the pages I mentioned.

B Roll,
Re: "moderation"
Make it two pounds. I honestly can't find of what you speak. Besides, control+F search? I'm a Luddite Round Head!

How can people say that they don't think that Republicans wouldn't attack the "public option" if it was changed to "public choice"? I've heard several people say that.
Not sure I agree with Thom when he says that it should be called Medicare Part E. Do people have to pay a monthly premium for medicare? Unless they do, I think it would be confusing.

Did you include the quotation marks? You shouldn't have.

DDay, Quark et al

DDay,
I meant that, if you were in hell, you could celebrate Halloween wholeheartedly!
BTW, EVERYONE, what would your Halloween costumes be?
#12
Quark
Did or do you see a post from me on this page that starts with
DDay, Quark et al
#13
B Roll,
I don't see that post. It must be out there in the ether with mine! LOL
#14
Quark
That may explain why no one responded to my post. It may be that no one can see it and the other posts I referred to. I have to do a few experiments to figure this out.

Friends-
I have been off listening to Jonathan Tasini at Democracy Now as suggested by B Roll. I'm adding Tasini to my Legions of Lion Hearted Liberals List. Alan Grayson, Al Gore, Howard Dean, Russ Feingold, Denis Kucinich, Bernie Saunders, etc....Jonathan Tasini! Thanks B.
Quark- You were talking about pre-cognition and Gene Rodenberry. Holy Baffling Bat Sh-t Batman! I said hell and SD48 and you went to equating it with Halloween. Well Anoka MN. is officially recognized by the U.S. Congress as being the Halloween Capitol of the World. Fact. Guess where I live? That's right !.......Wholeheartedly MN. former childhood home of Garrison Keilor & Michele Bachmann. That is why I'll be going as Michele in a black dominatrix rubber outfit. My wife is going as Gary.... as Guy Noire........Private eye.

DDay,
These weird things have happened to me all my life...
I love the Michele Bachmann costume! (I also love Guy Noire, but in a different way! You know, when Mike and I were first married, we listened to Garrison Keillor's morning radio program --- with Jim Ed Poole --- every day. 'Miss that.
I think I'd dress like one of the "Billionaires for Wealthcare" actors and carry a corporate logo (with an explanation.)
#17
DDay,
If your wife didn't want to be Guy Noire, she could wear a George W. Bush mask and you could be hanging on her the whole time!
#18
Three pounds B Roll.....at the very least!..... Sending me off on a wild goose chase. It is probably all Quark's fault though. It began after she tried to tell about this great response to my long post being lost to the ether or some such crap. Control+F+search this! You lie'n loud mouthed , loquacious, slightly lascivious long legged liberal you! Sorry I was just trying to get in character for playing Michele at the party tonight and Fogghorn Legghorn invaded my body. I'm going to get my early Friday Afternoon libation now. Have a fun Halloween All!!!.... from the Capitol.
P.s. B Roll .....how the experimentin goin?
#19
DDAy,
Sure, blame it on me! 'Just like my husband! LOL (Always teasing!)
#20
Quark, darling.....Billionaires for Wealthcare???....with explanation...??? You need to loosen up gal. How about going as a windsock with Norm Colesman's face on the side? Or how about having your husband come as a hemorrhoid and you come as TPawlenty ...........with a "T" shirt, that says : "Perfect A--Hole"? (my personal favorite)
#21
B Roll,
Thanks for the heads-up on today's Democracy Now broadcast. It makes the "sore thumbs" in our political system stick out more than ever.
#22
DDay,
I guess I was a little unimaginative. It's hard because I take this stuff so seriously...
Thanks for the ideas!

Hi everyone. Could you help me by writing to thank our Oregon Senator, Jeff Merkley, for helping to end Mountaintop Removal. Thank you soooo much. Here is the letter I received and he needs lots of praise for his brave support of this bill.
Dear Loretta,
Thank you for contacting me to share your support for the Appalachia Restoration Act (S. 696). It is an honor to serve as your Senator, and I appreciate hearing from you.
I, too, support this legislation because mountaintop removal mining is an irreversibly destructive practice. By using explosives to remove the tops of mountains to access coal, and then burying valleys and streams with the waste material, mountaintop removal mining destroys forests and watersheds, endangering communities' water quality and public health. I believe our country must move away from these mining practices and instead embrace a clean energy future built on energy efficiency and renewable energy.
The Appalachia Restoration Act would amend the Clean Water Act to prevent the dumping of mining waste into streams, effectively ending the practice of mountaintop removal mining. This bill has been referred to the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee for future action. As a member of this Committee, please know that I look forward to working with my colleagues to protect the citizens and natural resources of the Appalachia region.
Thank you, again, for sharing your thoughts with me. I hope you will continue to keep me informed about the issues that matter most to you.
All my best,
Jeff Merkley
United States Senate

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Through compelling personal stories, Hartmann presents a dramatic and deeply disturbing picture of humans as a profoundly troubled species. Hope lies in his inspiring vision of our enormous unrealized potential and his description of the path to its realization."
From Screwed:
"Once again, Thom Hartmann hits the bull’s eye with a much needed exposé of the so-called ‘free market.’ Anyone concerned about the future of our nation needs to read Screwed now."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story."
Well, at least you can celebrate Halloween wholeheartedly!
