Guess Who's Real And Who's Wax

Comment in Images (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 11/22/2008
I got most of the right. What I found interesting when I visited Madam Tussaud's wax museum was that the glass eyes really made the whole person looks real. They really didn't need to make a wax model for George Bush, just a photograph would do because he … (see comment)

Don't Get Depressed, It's Not 1929

Comment in News (6 diggs, 0 replies) - on 11/22/2008
It's true, this economic crisis is not like the 1929 market crash. But that's no thanks to the Bush Administration, whose policies follow what I call the Reagan Doctrine, which was, and is, to put this nation in such horrific debt that it would force Dem … (see comment)

Santa Claus- Coming to a Boardroom Near You

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 11/09/2008
If we're going to bail out the auto industry the government should require that the billions we shell out are paid back, with interest, when the industry recovers (on the installment plan would be OK.) The unions make the same mistake: taking cuts in pay … (see comment)

Kathleen Kennedy Townsend Looks Beyond Tragedy

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 10/23/2008
Kathleen has had more than her share of tragedy and death among her friends and family, but her father's example has been both wise and comforting. I heartily recommend to anyone who has ever lost a loved one -- and to those who have not, yet -- that this … (see comment)

Why do some conservatives insist on praising dead Democrats?

Comment in News (1 digg, 1 reply) - on 10/21/2008
This is nothing more than another Republican rant. Right wingers quote Roosevelt, Truman and Kennedy because they haven't had an original idea since Eisenhower's Farewell address that warned against the military-industrial complex. In the centuries to com … (see comment)

Joe The Plumber Admits He Wasn't Undecided After All

Comment in News (8 diggs, 0 replies) - on 10/16/2008
No "plumber" makes $250,000 a year. "Joe the Plumber" may have worked as a plumber, but he becomes a small businessman when he operates a plumbing business. If "Joe" is a plumber then Donald Trump is a croupier and David Rockefeller is a teller. McCain i … (see comment)

Can All These Joes Be Wrong?

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 10/16/2008
No "plumber" makes $250,000 a year. If "Joe the Plumber" is a plumber, then Donald Trump is a "Croupier" and David Rockefeller is a "teller." By calling this guy a "plumber," McCain is totally misrepresenting him. He may have started as a plumber, but i … (see comment)

An Endorsement, a Condemnation and an Election Reflection

Comment in News (2 diggs, 1 reply) - on 10/11/2008
I haven't seen a better analysis of the current campaign and of John Sidney McCain III. That's saying it like it is. I't's not surprising that McCain favors "millions to Wall Street flimflam men, hundreds of billions to defense cronies, oil cronies and m … (see comment)

So That's Why People Hate Liberals

Comment in News (9 diggs, 3 replies) - on 10/08/2008
You don't have to like the messenger to like the message. The facts don't change because the person who cites them is arrogant or disrepectful. Lots of people voted for George W. Bush because they think he'd be a great guy to have a beer with, but look … (see comment)

There's not a lot we can do by ourselves. We need leaders who care -- and will help us do something it. (see comment)

Just a Few Rambling Thoughts

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 09/23/2008
Not any better, and maybe a little worse, pinkpackrat. The economic meltdown presently under way is perfect example -- a $700 billion bailout package to save the big corporations, but nothing for the little guy. (see comment)

Home Preschooling - a knol by Terrie Lynn Bittner

Comment in News (7 diggs, 0 replies) - on 09/09/2008
Children spend too much time in school, not too little time. Unless a child lives in an area where there are no other children, it's best for children to learn by playing with other children in their neighborhood, not in a structured school. Kindergarten … (see comment)

I don't mean to be agrestic, but if I agroof on this comment I assure you it was aleatory. But if you perform an act of defrenestration on me consider it condign. You are obviously a deipnosophist although surely not gallinaceous or glabrous. I know you … (see comment)

Four Day Work Week to Save Energy

Comment in News (9 diggs, 3 replies) - on 08/12/2008
They're a little late. I personally proposed a 4-day work week about 50 years ago, but nobody paid any attention. I also proposed working 3 to 4 different jobs during that 4-day period, but, again, nobody paid any attention. Even now that hasn't been sugg … (see comment)

Surviving the Death of a Spouse

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 07/26/2008
All of us must face these crises at some time in our lives, Jesus2007, but Gordon Gee obviously has been hit harder than most. How we cope with what is thrust upon us is handled differently, not doubt, by each of us. But sometimes the experience and help … (see comment)

Addicted to Grief? It may activate pleasure in some brains

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 07/25/2008
This kind of study, in my opinion, tends to exaggerate the results. There's probably a tiny bit of truth in its findings, but I don't believe it's significant. It takes one of many possible reasons for the way one reacts to a memory and builds a mountain … (see comment)

Surviving the Death of a Spouse

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 07/25/2008
I feel the same way, stevinium. My wife of 45 years died on Oct. 14, 2004. Linda's story is the story of millions of us, survivors, and we all try to cope as best we can. Linda is far more open about her emotions and reactions than I could ever be, but, i … (see comment)
