Hello All
Thom's blog in this space and moving to a new home.
Please follow us across to hartmannreport.com - this will be the only place going forward to read Thom's blog posts and articles.
@RandyWinn and harry ashburn, Arizona's immigration law is pure racism.
Thom is right the right wingers are already crazy because they have been certifiably crazy by noted psychiatrists who are unwilling to come forward. Psychiatrists cannot just make certain psychiatric assessments public.
@Zero_G ... Florida GOP's adopting a new motto: "Spill Baby Spill!"
I went to my county health dept to get my replacement birth certificate. First, they gave me one that had my middle name misspelled. then they gave me a different-looking version that had it spelled correctly. Go figure.
"Steals Clock, Faces Time" - headline from leftwingwacko.com
hmmm harry, offering money now... now I might be persuaded to....
Zero G. I'm quite certain Michael Steele is obviously an undercover Democratic operative. Have you followed any of his ecapades, any at all, he's doing far more damage from the inside than any of us on the outside. Besides, I wasn't really thinking bondage initially, I was just thinking it would be wonderful to sweep through AZ with hordes of progressives rounding up everyone that looke suspicously like a racist... er I mean illegal. Mr. Ashburn was the one who took it to the level of... well lets just say if the Church Lady was here, he'd get a tongue lashing he wouldn't soon forget.
I do miss the Church Lady she (or he) was hiliarious.

Officials: Leaks Spewing More Oil Into Gulf
by Cain Burdeau
NEW ORLEANS - A massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is even worse than believed and as the government grows concerned that the rig's operator is ill-equipped to contain it, officials are offering a military response to try to avert a massive environmental disaster along the ecologically fragile U.S. coastline.
But time may be running out. Not only was a third leak discovered - which government officials said is spewing five times as much oil into the water than originally estimated - but it might be closer to shore than previously known, and could have oil washing up on shore by Friday. More.
I just read that our Arizona legislators are on track with a bill to ban embryonic stem cell research here in Arizona. It just gets better and better here. I don't know why we left California.
Now for something completely off track:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Jarvis
Anna Jarvis was born in the tiny town of Webster in Taylor County, West Virginia. She was the daughter of Ann Maria Reeves Jarvis. The family moved to nearby Grafton, West Virginia in her childhood. She graduated from what is now Mary Baldwin College in 1883.
On May 12, 1907, two years after her mother's death, she held a memorial to her mother and thereafter embarked upon a campaign to make "Mother's Day" a recognized holiday. She succeeded in making this nationally recognized in 1914. The International Mother's Day Shrine was established in Grafton to commemorate her accomplishment.[1]
By the 1920s, Anna Jarvis had become soured by the commercialization of the holiday. She incorporated herself as the Mother’s Day International Association, trademarked the phrases "second Sunday in May" and "Mother's Day", and was once arrested for disturbing the peace. She and her sister Ellsinore spent their family inheritance campaigning against the holiday. Both died in poverty. According to her New York Times obituary, Jarvis became embittered because too many people sent their mothers a printed greeting card. As she said,
A printed card means nothing except that you are too lazy to write to the woman who has done more for you than anyone in the world. And candy! You take a box to Mother—and then eat most of it yourself. A pretty sentiment.
—Anna Jarvis.[2]
Anna Marie Jarvis never married and had no children. She died in West Chester, Pennsylvania, and is buried in West Laurel Hill Cemetery, Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania.
I do have my original.
Tim in Tennessee, I do have my original BC but it is so faded that I also got a new one from the state of Ohio. It looks totally different from the original but says it is a legal copy. Last time I used it was a year or 2 ago when I got a passport. They accepted the faded one. I guess it was readable enough to accept.
I call the picture above my name, The Pick, for picking my nose.
@gerald - when the Aryanzona cops ask you for your papers, maybe they'll let you go get your safety deposit box ;-)
Seriously - what are we looking at now - some sort of system of internal passports like in the USSR?
Or can we just wear a symbol on our clothing to symbolize our status?

EDITTED: "What's Good For The Goosesteppers Is Good For The .... uhm ... well, nobody"
@Gerald: but ya gotta have special window stickers for the rich to leave them alone, or it won''t pass.
What is good for the goose is for the gander. Law officials pull aside every American regardless of ethnic group, religion, and color.
Hey Zero_G - I "think" I was born in the USA but how can I prove it? I was just a baby ...
More to the point, if I carry my birth certificate around in my wallet, after about 20 years it's not gonna look like anything except a worn-out scrap of paper. We need Kevlar birth certificates!!!
@Zero G: who's talkin' bondage? You dont have to bind them if theyre in a jail cell...
My birth certificate: i don't have mine yet, I'm "pre-born'.
@Harry and Nels:
What's up with these bondage fantasies? I thought that was a Michael Steele GOPher meme...
Thom, when both my parents passed away, we were looking through their possessions and I came up with my original bith certificate. My parents saved many documents. We now have the birth certificate in a safety deposit box.
@Maxrot, give you a nickel...?
I can tell you here - I have no idea where my first original birth certificate is. I asked my parents (who are divorced) if I could get mine so I could get a passport. They had no idea what happened to mine. I had to go to the State California Department of Public Health to get a duplicate. It was good enough to get a passport, but I guess the birthers' still wouldn't accept it.
damnit harry, you keep your filthy liberal hands off of the women I capture, especially the good looking ones! Dag nab it, their mine, mine, mine! ;-)

How do you reason with this kind of mental blockhead? - Nels
Er, eh....I don't really try to. I tend to use multisyllabic words that set their heads spinning. You've caught me out.
Thom Hartmann
The Loveboat with Louise and Higgins
Portland, Oregon
Dear Mr. Hartmann,
As you know, I have serious health issues. These health issues have put my life in a on-going tenuous situation. For some reason God has not called me in final judgment. I believe the reason may be He knows I await your open words that say our nation has no future. I sense every so often that you do want to admit our nation does not have a future.
Our demonic government has ninety percent of Americans living in an endless boom, bubble and burst economy that enslaves Americans off the crumbs of the rich and of the American corporations.
The time has come for you to cut the umbilical cord that will set you and the rest of Americans free from any doubt of any kind that our nation has a future. Thom, please cut the umbilical cord and set us free.
Thom, you have grave responsibilities as the number one progressive radio talk show in America to inform Americans of the truth and the truth is that the United States of Hell has no future of any kind.
Sincerely, Gerald, aka a Jesus liberal, a pacifist, and a progressive
P.S. Jesus’ health care plan does not drop any of His children from health care who have a pre-existing health condition.
@Maxrot: if you do, can you save me a good looking young woman?
So, can anyone tell me if I can go to AZ and make citizens arrests of people I think are suspicious and incapable of producing documentation to my satisfaction?
(Do you see where I'm going with this?)

Robert S. That post musta' been posted pretty late yesterday, I don't remember seeing it, and I was here a few hours after the show ended. Tis a pity this blog goes almost completely dead after Thom signs off. :-(
Anyway, interesting post, I find the concept of citizens of AZ being upset that illegals are overrunning the land taken from Mexico, is sort of karma.
I'm tired of the hypocrisy practiced by America, we claim to be a great melting pot, then there is a major push to resist immigration. We claim to have free speech, then create caged free speech zones. We claim to have democratic elections, then have a President appointed by either an Electoral College or Supreme Court. I suppose the list can be greatly expanded, but I think I made the point I wanted to, being a hypocrite and an American isn't mutually exclusive. The world doesn't hate our freedom, they hate our hypocrisy, and I think the majority of American progressives hate it too.
This fellow's comment you posted is just so blatant in its bass-ackwardness it just raises my ire more than anything else. How do you reason with this kind of mental blockhead?
