20th-century emoticons
@Maxbot: :D, ;)
@ Maxbot..same thing's happened to me, a woman concluded i was a chauvenist 'cause of one smart-ass remark.
@DDay - BTW, man - that picture of Bachmann at the upper right of the screen at http://www.blitzbachmann.com/ ... PRICELESS! :-D
@radlof - An old friend of mine used to say that the majority of the problems in the world today can be traced back to the incredibly arrogant British aristocracy, and their penchant for re-drawing the maps of areas of the globe that they'd never even been to.
Sigh . . . The folks calling themselves Palestinians have the right to declare themselves a sovereign nation and live on dirt they call their own simply by accepting the very same United Nations Resolution, passed on November 29, 1947 and enacted on May 14, 1948 that created the State of Israel . . .
BUT when it is more important for that group of folk to hate other folk instead of gaining sovereign control of their own home-land . . . The Leadership of those folk avoid doing what is best for their people.
@harry, no problem, I guess my comment could have been easily misunderstood.
Someone get me emoticons that work stat... innocent people are being harmed here. LOL
Sorry Maxrot,...i guess i did. mea culpa.
re: Postal Banks -
@ Meet John Doe - my opinion is based on the idea that community banks and credit unions put YOUR money to work in YOUR area - and what could be better for your community than to have more of its citizen's capital remain the region, and less of it going to the Postal Service or Wall Street ?
I believe the clinics Bernie was talking about are called FQHC Federally-Qualified Health Clinics,which seem to be really effective. We.ve had them in Austin for 10 years.
@harry, surely you didn't miss the obvious sarcasm of my statement.

Solar Panels on the White House!?!?!?!?
With all the blowhards in DC, wouldn't it be more advantageous to put Wind Generators out?
Thank you Food Fascist - I got my 'good news of the day' from the article
Finally, some limit on corporations patenting life itself.common sense says there must be a balance in everything in life. our government must keep the balance of being for all citizens poor and rich. the economics of milton friedman has no balance it gave corporations free reign to do what ever it wanted to create profit. friedman stated that corporation have no responsibillity to no one but to create profit.
@Maxbot: No NO No. Environmentalists don't harm people; they put sugar in gas tanks and occasionally burn inanimate objects. Terrorism involves hurting or threatening people, despite the calls of authoritarian conservatives and their media.
@Mysterious Floating Head: Im talking about class warfare...don't really know about Rachel.
Well done DrMike, your comment was obviously mesmerizing. No one has said anything for almost a half hour. :-)
@Mr. Doh! State Banks are an alternative to the old Postal Bank which went out in the 60s when the Postal Service was made a public corporation. North Dakota has one and Oregon may get one soon...
@Mysterious Floating Head...spot on! You're good at profound statements in few words.
Only Dr. Rachel Maddow on MSNBC regularly labels our home-grown terrorist correctly.
American militia aren't terrorists... environmentalist and progressive activists are though.
Breaking Biotech News-
Tried to post this yesterday but could not-- plesae let that sweet farmer know this news:
Many biotechnology stocks fell on Tuesday as investors struggled to understand the impact of a ruling that threw out parts of two gene patents and called into question thousands more.
