If you read this article, you will know why the coming Great American Depression will last for generations. We do not have the good paying manufacturing jobs to help us out of the Great Depression.

Anyone complaining about the heat in Arizona would be reasonably suspicious to me as being a damn Canuck!!!

I think I want to Join the Arizona Police force... so I can stop everyone I suspect of being Canadjun, and locking them up when they can't produce their Grandma's Birth Certificate.

All my papers are in a safe deposit box in Burbank . . . Should my 'cracker' looking backside be carrying my passport?
I was born at Our Lady Queen of Angels in East LA. If I showed my birth certificate, would that get me deported because it is suspicious that I was born in East LA?
Obama's book he touted was "Team of Rivals"
Quark, the edit button is one of the best new addtions to this blog (IHMO). I wish the reply button would put the replied post under the original post though.
OK, sorry for that last post --- I was experimenting with the "Edit" button!

Everytime a Republican is elected...
...a Democrat probably tried to be a centerist.
@mstaggerlee:
Every time a Republican is elected...
...school quality goes down.
...racism rises.
...corporations celebrate.
...my stomache turns.

mstaggerlee and Nels,
I had the same thought!
The Yellow Peril, NINA, Jim Crow Laws, Segregation, Japanese Concentration Camps, Alien Sedition Law... the more things change the more they stay the same it seems.
rladlof,
Money talks...
Thank you, Manny for sharing your experience. Will look for the book.
There is another family that's been doing this for years - the Dervaes family of Pasadena CA.

@Nels - You had me expecting a paraphrase of "It's a Wonderful Life" -
Every time a Republican is elected, an Angel loses it's wings. :-(
Seems like this could make for a good thread in here - Complete the sentence -
"Every time a Republican is elected ... "
Forcing the governments hand by attacking those that can not defend themselves . . . Instead of busting corporate bad actors = STUPIDITY and ASS-BACKWARDS.
Foodfascist,
I think we might be surprised at the people who are influenced by Thom (and who also read this blog!)
Gerald,
Your post reminds me of a fascinating conversation Jon Stewart had last night with Fred Pearce, who says the world population will stabilize soon because women are having fewer children.

I wear a kippah (yarmulke, skull cap) and not a somberaro AND the hair is standing up on the back of my neck.
Could it be that NAncy Pelosi is listening to Thom Hartmann?
Single and Not Gay
We have three sons. They are single and not gay. My wife was a stay at home mother and she was at home until 1977. In 1977 our country became a two income household for married couples. 1977 was the benchmark year for two income households. My wife started work in 1977.Our sons were eleven, nine, and eight.
Prior to 1977 my wife was at home and our sons loved for their mother to be home. When our youngest son started kindergarten, my wife became a volunteer room mother for three years. When our youngest son started the third grade, she went to work.
Our sons have remembered this experience. When we talk to our sons, they keep saying that they do not make enough money to marry. Each one of our sons would want their children to have a stay at home mother through the second or third grade. This wish is impossible for each of our sons and so we do not expect them to marry.
We now understand our sons better and we agree with them and their reason for not marrying.
Should men and women marry so that society can say that they are not gay or lesbian?
Will we profile men and women and say that they that they are gay or lesbian? We truly are a sick people who are certifiably crazy. Yes, the American population has mental disorders and we should be institutionalized for our craziness.
