kairos12's JournalSunday Morning TV is Horrible
Looked at the lineup for today. All Jeb Bush, all the time.
I don't watch these programs, and reading the "guest" list reminded me why.
One Percent View of the Poor or Working Class
http://my.firedoglake.com/tomthumb/2013/03/09/comfortable-myths-about-poverty-british-churches-fight-back/If our society misrepresents those who are at its margins,
blaming them for their poverty and ignoring the massive
injustices at work, then we are all set to fail. We will see
greater depths of poverty; greater suffering as children are
entrenched in circumstances which are damaging to body,
mind and soul. We will see a society which is unsustainable
and divided, where those with power or privilege are willfully
blind to those without.

Health Care Profiteering--WTF
Just heard on the radio a woman bought a generic drug for $4.00. She went back 3 months later and it was $160.00 for the same generic from a different company.
Our health care system is completely screwed.
Effort to preserve Shrub's Midland Home
How about turning into a Museum on how Shrub was asleep at the switch in 2001.

500th Post and Wanted to Say Thanks
I joined the day President Obama was reelected. It has been a pleasure joining this community and wanted to say thanks to everyone. I look forward to many more years with you.
Your Thoughts On How Sequester Plays Out?
I am not optimistic President Obama will get any additional revenues.
Right now the Rethugs have their way with 100 percent cuts. I don't see them trading that for any measure that adds taxes.
For me, the sequester was another example of you can't negotiate with crazy.
Your thoughts?
Baby Russert and Totally False Equivalence
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/03/07/luke-russert-gohmerts-golf-ban-on-obama-reveals-a-pettiness-on-both-sidesDoesnt this reveal the petty and personal nature of Republican opposition to this president? MSNBC host Martin Bashir asked Russert on Wednesday.How is it petty by the president to apply the sequester since its something that he didnt want but its been imposed? Bashir pressed.
Because the idea, Martin, is by putting that forward that there would be no more tours of the White House, who does that stick it to? That really sticks it to rank-and-file congressmen, who ordinarily would promise those types of tours to their constituents, Russert insisted.
It sticks it to the public! Bashir shot back. And its the public who are being injured by the sequester.
Russert needs to be sequestered doing the weather in some far away land.
Rancid Paul Revere
Funny, with a name like that he really should be sounding the alarm in the Senate on the real threat to the United States--Tea Party Baggers.
The statement that Retired GOP Thug Kyl will not do any lobbying for the next 2 years...
is not intended to be a factual statement.
