The Stories All Run Together

Everyday there are stories...images that paint our world...

The Lost Soul:
Enuff said: Suspect Was to Be Sent to Afghanistan


ArchAngels:
Many blue dogs are opposed to health care for Americans because they are fiscally responsible…or so the story goes...but if that is really the reason then why does the majority of them still support the occupation in Afghanistan. It's costs are higher and deeper than providing health care …so why the difference?

The Choir:
“Government without revenue results in falling bridges and lousy schools and crime and bad health care. “ -digby

They drank the Koolaid:
“Rep. Bachmann is smart, beautiful and conservative” –PowerLine Boys

The Imaginary Things:
Non-lunatic GOP

The Angels:
Appearing at a protest of Condi Rice! This Sunday, Nov 8, at 5:15PM, Beth El Synagogue, St. Louis Park

I'm worn down and my spirit is thin ...but I'm still here...trying...have a nice weekend...hope to see you Sunday at the protest...


Follow your common sense
You cannot hide yourself behind a fairytale forever and ever
Only by revealing the hole truth can we disclose
The soul of this bulwark forever and ever
Forever and ever
Indoctrinated minds so very often
Contain sick thoughts
And commit most of the evil they preach against
Don't try to convince me with messages from God
You accuse us of sins committed by yourselves
It's easy to condemn without looking in the mirror
Behind the scenes opens reality
Eternal silence cries out for justice
Forgiveness is not for sale
Nor is the will to forget
Virginity has been stolen at very young ages
And the extinguisher loses it's immunity
Morbid abuse of power in the garden of eden
Where the apple gets a youthful face
You can't go on hiding yourself
Behind old fashioned fairytales
And keep washing your hands in innocence

Pawlenty: Do As I Said Not As I Get!

So ex-MN governor...er...well AWOL Governor Pawlenty said on ABC's Top Line that if in charge he would 'opt-out' of public health care for Minnesota...

CHALIAN: But you would lead a charge in your state to opt out if that was an option available?
PAWLENTY: I think so because I don’t like government run health care.



So--pawlenty currently is covered under government provided healthcare...after all his healthcare is provide by the state of Minnesota...and he's on record as supporting Medicare and Medicaid in the past...but now...doesn't want that (public coverage for anyone...else?)...

Seems to me that Pawlenty will do anything...say anything...support anything if it gets him elected to national office...Someone should inform him that ethics, morals and values doesn't blow with the wind...and especially when he's harping against the very thing he has...government sponsored healthcare!

Message to Pawlenty... if like you say 'you personally would like to opt out', I'm sure Minnesotans would thank you for saving their hard earn tax dollars by dropping your health insurance!

Abandon All Hope

So let me get this straight...30 (THIRTY!!!) Senators voted to continue contracting with firms that force women employees to agree not to sue componies if they are RAPED as a result of their employment...



All thirty should immediate resign from the senate for their support of felony behavior. Shame on everyone of you with mothers, sisters, wives, daughters....Shame on this soulless group for even thinking they could justify voting for rape...The Republican party hasbecome totally void of morality.



BTW, the bill was our Minnesota Jr. Senator, Al Franken...thank you Mr. Franken for continue to look out at the interest of our daughters, mothers, sisters...



Record profits on Wall St...sigh... so do I blame them or Obama for escalating the war on Afghanistan? What about Pakistan, Iraq and Iran. And it turns out our occupation has become larger, longer and made for more resistance:
WASHINGTON -- A recent U.S. intelligence assessment has raised the estimated number of full-time Taliban-led insurgents fighting in Afghanistan to at least 25,000, underscoring how the crisis has worsened even as the U.S. and its allies have beefed up their military forces, a U.S. official said Thursday.

Wow, big surprise not...If I get it, why doesn't Obama or could the whisperings be correct... that Wall St. now runs our country now...



"Because the people here really aren't in charge. Wall Street is in charge."- Rep. Marcy Kaptur


Just when did I miss that election?

Friday's If Onlys

Gone in 60 seconds
So substract Chris Coleman from gadzillion and that leaves...all the rest...

Being bitch slapped twice
If you are a domestic abuse victim and lived in Idaho, Mississippi, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Wyoming and the District of Columbia, well then, eight of the 16 major insurance companies have the right to deny coverage on the rationale that it's a pre existing condition...

Tell me again why we should demand health care reform NOW!

Sure they look ordinary...
Be a hero? We need you more than ever...be the change you want to see.

Whew..what's that smell?
What if you have a zombie encounter? Well you can one of two things...see Zombieland (two thumbs up from me!) or come to the zombie pub crawl this Satuday.

What if... 'I'm just about as happy as I can be'...

All Yours

Your Dream
Can't we just sign up for Congress' health plan?

Your Nightmare
The U.S. labor market weakened in September as 263,000 payroll jobs were lost and the unemployment rate rose a tenth to a 26-year high of 9.8%, the Labor Department reported. It was the 21st consecutive month of job losses.

Your Altered Reality
..."the recovery package is part of a Democratic conspiracy to "direct" funding away from Republican districts, so Democratic districts can "suck up" all federal funds. Bachmann doesn't think this will work because, as she [guess who?] put it, "We're running out of rich people in this country."

Your WTF
Sure you're artist, engaging, successful, and make great movies...but I have two girls that were once thirteen...What Polanski did was rape. Youthful error, stage mom, teen lolita aside...This was a middle age man who preyed on a ninth grader...It's a crime.

Your Cowboy Sense of Humour
Newsmax contributor John L. Perry wrote a column yesterday about politics. It went like this: “There is a remote, although gaining, possibility America’s military will intervene as a last resort to resolve the ‘Obama problem.’ Don’t dismiss it as unrealistic.”
