And Kagan didn't recuse herself from voting on the health care bill! she worked on prior to being appointed to the court. she also worked on defending Obama on the BC ,issue. You know the one that is no issue only that the President has spent millions in legal fees fighting the so called "laughable issue" in courts across the country? why would a President spend millions in taxpayer dollars to defend a "laughable non issue"? So is it okay for a Supreme Court Justice like Kagan to help defend a legal suit against the POTUS (the BC issue); then get on the Supreme Court and vote to refuse to hear the issue when brought before the court? lets's have a little honesty hear. Both the Democrats (if that's what they are?) and the Republics are totally DIRTY!!!!
Wis voters MUSt come out in huge nymbers Thats the only way to get rid of Walker
I voted yes but... with enough Koch cash Walker can buy his way out of anything Thats the sad state of our polititcs
I do not belive the Congress will do the right think! Too many of them are bought already! We need to get the MONEY OUT !!!
I don't know. Wasn't Justice Douglas that played poker every Friday night with FDR, Franfurter that called FDR to discuss legislation before the court. Seems to me that the FDR court made alot of these relationships okay. Think of FDR Justice Black deciding a case, where his law partner was representing one party.
Any expectation that this corrupt Congress would hold Supreme Court Justics accountable is nonsense. They are all in it together, and this travesty will continue until we are able to elect decent men and women who will not compromise their values and integrity.
If Ayn Rand were alive today she would so disapprove of the lack of "justice" in the Supreme Court!
Jan Brewer to Barack:
"I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog too!"
Jan Brewer: "Now hold it right there while the photographers get this!"
Jan Brewer: "Now hold it right there while the photographers get this!"
Pantophagously [pan-TOF-ah-gus-lee] ugly. "Pantophagous" is equivalent to "omnivorous".
The idea that all men are created equal is really the idea that all people have equal capacity to suffer from the effects of societal action. Metaphorically, If you prick us, we say "ow".
The reference to suffering makes me wonder what sort of philosophical thoughts a Buddhist would get out of it.
If you could only share John Boehner's tears.....
Just dream of the post-FDR 'American dream': Hit the jackpot, have drinks with Newt and listen to Mitt in quiet rooms.
If you were able to love America like a crocodile its river, and share that dream, you would probably enjoy those 60 hours.....
Forgive my irony -- love ya dowdotica!
How about: "Eat the bad rich before they eat you"?
Although I can't imagine eating somebody like Gingrich. No, not very tasty. URGH!
LOL, I just imagined an American machine-gun in Afghanistan. On the other side a taliban lifts a finger:
Another good joke might be:
What is the difference between a taliban and a teabagger?
Anybody an idea???

You're singing my favorite song, Ed:
I really love to hear that.I like this expression here too:
The primitive admiring of the rich, mighty and pretty has a lot to do with moneyism. As a child I loved the movie High Society (with Bing, Satch, Frankyboy and Grace Kelley), today I have exactly this film in my crosshairs. It is exactly the negative stuff that spiritually poisoned America. My cultural war on that, as classic film blogger, will go on even after 2012. I have moneyism in my crosshairs alright.Thanks Ed!
I could swear this caller at about 1:15 (show time) keeps saying "crinimals" instead of "criminals". o_O
...all to increase retained earnings and keep the stock vals up! meanwhile I have to eat mac and cheese, drink pabst blue ribbon, take a part time job at wal-mart and increase my work week to 60 hours just so i can help my 2 kids through college? truly not the America of post wold war II. certainly not the America of the 50s, 60s, and 70,s. hmmmm, can't begin to imagine when it all started falling apart. funnier yet it was the mothers and fathers of the crooks and cranks we have now that "did" once make our nation great! Or maybe it was the LSD they did in the sixties that has now shorted out any sense of thier once conscience!

You just outed yourself as social-political cannibal. Don't talk about "humanity is fairness,oneness and love!"
You can disguise yourself with pretty words -- I read it as lies.
Maybe you're just naive -- but your ideas are evil.
The will of the people.......has a nice ring to it, huh!! Isn't it sad when someone in a position as Governor of a state will do the things
Gov. Walker has been up to!!!! Government of the people, by the people and for the people, amen brother, AMEN!!!!!!
Hi Clarissa,
Read your posts. A lot of anger. You need to go blow something. :))
The bible is never infallible nothing is ,and no-one does anything wrong given there model of the world everyone is doing the best they can with the information they have .
The basic instinct of humanity is fairness,oneness and love,every child is born with love and trust our cultural story is the problem and it has been passed down for millenia ,that we are separated from life/god that we are born in sin that need exists that we can fail this is all fallacy just like most of what is written in your old books i,e the bible ect mostly written by men,this cultural story is so ingrained that we now live it fully.It is all myth having nothing to do with ultimate reality.
What might now work for humanity is creating a new cultural story for humans to live by check out .

The Bible is right. Many humans are not to trust. Many of them are mean. And this is the reason why we figured out democracy, human rights and unions. We don't want to live in hell on earth. Employees are often put at risks: Often they don't have much money, nor too much education and this makes them vulnerable. They have to unionize and we have to protect their rights!
Even if an employer tells me he's a Christian: We all know, people just talk, but they act differently and often selfish and merciless.
If it comes to protecting worker's rights, I don't trust anybody who asks me not to watch. Whoever says that to me: I'm through with you -- I will always consider you not trustworthy. A monkey!
