Hello...
I have found that a bean medley mixed with rice and hot sauce makes me fart - and if I fart on a hot day whilst sitting on a vinyl chair I can get some real airtime...
Now that is something to think about...

Hello Sean, can you play a riff?

Mas, thanks for having me - First time caller, first time "listener". Just wanted to make a comment on one of your guests. I started at the back and started to wind my way forward, with but one air bubble in the line (you can call it air, Mas, HaHa!), the thread got more interesting as I listened...
First, there was the verse of the Obamessiah - Verily, it should be integrated into the Bible but Obama, suredly, will strike it down (post 1200).
Then, the Harvey Milk thing. You know, I tried to watch that movie, to have an open mind and accept people for what they are. I got through 12 minutes before my patience ah,.. petered out. This, I thought, was the last I had to hear of this person played by a very convincing actor (but was he acting??). I realised (with an "S" for international listeners) that the more one tries to accept these people, the more "In-Your-Face" they get. Now I also realise that Obama sees the importance of gays as a voting block. The problem for Obama is that gays are fiscally conservative, have good jobs, keep a good neighborhood...And will no doubt no way vote for the guy who promises to take their Audi TT away and give it to a union boss. On this (post 1193), I also concur.
Then, like "Stairway to Heaven" played backwards, the very Devil spoke ( I could start at the beginning and lose the metaphor but I would uh,.. lose the metaphor)! When people who have no economics background, or worse, a little economics background yet not enough that they haven't grown out of the Daily Kos, they are a danger. 1188 shows the caller to not have learned life's lessons. I'm not gonna' break it down and row about individual points. Suffice it to say that anyone that thinks taking incentives away is a good idea and reality are on opposite sides of Dolores Park. Clues: Daily Kos, Huff Post, New York Times. Reality Check: Doesn't love Reagan - How queer is THAT?!
Thanks for your time, Mas.

mark, - I try to be entertaining as well as informative, I hope you survive the economic stresses, and find future contentment...

At this point in time personal contributions to this thread and the serious "economics" thread, are/will be, most appreciated, with information on such things as - - how many in your neighbourhood are still gainfully employed and can make enough to survive and keep any debts under control... Are local community services still delivered (regular rubbish removal, continuous water supply, uninterrupted electricity, sewerage etc) are all the supplies needed available as usual, how is inflation on say, foodstuffs and the usual budget items...

The reason I ask this, is that the competitive information will be useful for all you good folk to share, - the mass-media and bureaucracy seem incapable of telling the truth, - and that reliable user contributed data would be useful and valuable information to share, - to "keep the bastards honest", to quote an Australian political campaign slogan...

Alaska is pretty well insulated from the real world. I haven't been in Texas or to my properties in Mexico lately but one was taken over and rented out by something difficult to imagen.
"Ejidatarios" are something the rest of the world may soon come to know... Think "band of squatters with machetes and enough cash to bribe local officials to look the other way". Short of confronting them, a costly legal battle is in store every time these *******s do this - I just don't have it in me to have them dispatched.

Right-thinking Americans can only hope the country will survive the next 16 months of the Obama administration until Republicans can regain control of Congress, U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe said Wednesday.

“I never dreamed I would see an administration try to disavow all the things that have made this country different from all others,” Inhofe told more than 300 people at a town hall meeting in the Grove Community Center.

“I have never seen so many things happening at one time so disheartening to America.” Inhofe found a highly receptive audience. Many wore T-shirts of a local organization called Get America Back. Its Web site promises “a plan to eliminate the socialist government and return Americas (sic) freedoms.”

The “plan” is a link to a YouTube video by Lloyd Marcus, a Florida artist and singer making the circuit of anti-Obama “Tea Party” rallies.
Wednesday’s audience was similar to those at town hall meetings throughout northeastern Oklahoma in recent weeks. Concerns centered on the administration and Democratic-controlled Congress.
Inhofe gave his constituents plenty to worry about.

“Every institution that has made this country the greatest nation in the world is under attack,” he said at the end of the 75-minute session.
During those 75 minutes, Inhofe said President Barack Obama is disarming the military, is destroying everything good about America and is determined to turn foreign terrorists loose on U.S. soil.

The good news, he said, is that he does not think the Democratic leadership can push through health-care reform or the more controversial parts of its energy bill. He also said he continues to be proven correct in his claim that global climate change is a hoax. “More and more, with each month that goes by, more scientists agree with me,” he said. “We are winning.”

Inhofe opened by saying the noisy debate over health care has caused Americans to overlook other important issues, including climate change and energy policy.

He is also alarmed, he said, by the proposed closing of the detention camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The Obama administration wants to shutter the camp because of its association with torture. Inhofe said: “There has never been a case of torture there. The people there are treated better than in the federal prisons.” He continued, “I don’t know why President Obama is obsessed with turning terrorists loose in America.”

The administration says it wants to bring 60 to 80 prisoners to the U.S. for trial. Some Republicans have said those acquitted could be released in the U.S., but authorities say they would be deported as foreign nationals. Inhofe’s third concern, he said, is that “Barack Obama is disarming America.” He conceded that Obama requested more military spending, but he criticized the elimination of several weapons systems, including the F-22 fighter.

Obama, at the urging of Defense Secretary Robert Gates, also scrapped one of Inhofe’s pet projects, a cannon that was to be assembled at Elgin in southwestern Oklahoma. Gates, a holdover from the Bush administration, advocated abandoning high-tech systems such as the cannon and the F-22 for cheaper, more reliable weapons. “Those of you who think like I do,” Inhofe said, “hope this country can hang on another 16 months.”

MADISON - U.S. Rep. Paul Broun is again raising the specter of Democrats turning the United States into a totalitarian state.
Broun, R-Athens, apparently has not changed his belief that President Obama may be a fascist since he made similar remarks in Augusta in November and then in an Associated Press interview.


He told a meeting of the Morgan County Republicans on Wednesday night that Obama already has or will have the three things he needs to make himself a dictator: a national police force, gun control and control over the press. "He has the three things that are necessary to establish an authoritarian government," Broun said. "And so we need to be ever-vigilant, because freedom is precious." As he did when comparing Obama to Hitler and the Soviets last year, Broun cited a speech Obama gave in Colorado during the campaign last July calling for "a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded" as the military.

In the speech, Obama called young Americans to serve both at home and abroad, and said he would expand the Peace Corps, AmeriCorps and other volunteer opportunities. Broun, however, said Obama was referring to a national police force. "'The liberals say, 'What is wrong with Americorps?' " Broun said. "Well, this is not Americorps."

Broun also said he thinks the national media is openly supporting Obama's policies. He also said he believes the president and Attorney General Eric Holder will enact new gun-control policies. Holder said in February that he wants to renew a Clinton-era ban on assault weapons, but Obama said in April that he is putting the issue on the back burner.

Broun also cited the dozens of so-called "czars" Obama has appointed to oversee areas like the troubled car industry as evidence that he is overstepping his bounds to seek power. "They're developing a shadow government that (does not) answer to the American people," Broun said.

At a town hall meeting in Clarkesville last month, Broun called Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid a "socialistic elite" and agreed with a constituent who said they might use a flu pandemic to declare martial law.

"They're trying to develop an environment where they can take over," Broun said. "We've seen that historically."

More than 1,000 people combined turned out to hear Broun speak mostly on the topic of health care at town hall meetings Wednesday in Madison and Greene County. About 300 attended the Madison meeting. At Lake Oconee, the audience filled three 300-seat movie theaters, where Broun spoke on the invitation of three local doctors who have been giving presentations on Democrats' proposals for health care reform, said Bob Cowles, one of the organizers. Broun spoke live in one theater, while crowds in the other two listened in over a closed circuit.

Health care reform also is about Democrats seeking more power, Broun said. "It gives them more power, more control over your life," he said.

Health care is too expensive, he said, and he attributed the cost to government regulations like HIPPA, a 1996 patient privacy and insurance portability law. Rather than create a government-run insurance program to compete with private insurers, the current system's framework should be kept, but with changes like expanded tax-free health savings accounts, more tax credits for medical expenses and tax breaks for doctors who provide charity care, Broun said.

"Just like (when) you have a dog with fleas, you don't kill the dog, you put on a flea collar," he said. Broun has scheduled another town hall meeting for 10 a.m. Tuesday at the Oconee County Civic Center.

A lot said in a post that doesn't exist..

[masalai]

Bamby, the anger may be justified, but the direction is worse than Obama's league as the wool is certainly being pulled over everyones eyes... The money managers own and control America - BOTH SIDES of politics are OWNED and CONTROLLED by the "big money end of town... The politicians are just puppets who must do as their masters bid as the money used to get them elected came from them.... REMEMBER a quote from one of your countries earlier politicians - to the effect that "Those who control the printing of money, control the country"... That is the basic root cause of Americas downfall, the abject greed for power and control...

Hey Sean,
You used to get a dog silencer here.
It's a short piece of pipe you install in the dog's butt.
When it tries to bark it cannot build pressure up,
all you hear is fffffffffff ffffffffffff ffffffff while it barks.

[Sean Herron]

Hello...
Yet another use for Google Search...
I just joined a model club - very NOT NAFI - BAMM - gorgeous park and pond - lots of jogging - Mommy scenery - hell - if I cannot afford my real ones - I can do models - just smaller numbers and cash lay out...
Fanie - is it true that some car-jacked inventor rigged same for alcohol or butane burners along the door runners in SA...
Photos of same would be cool...
As for the above - you are saying that the sphincter must be clenched while barking orders or opinion - this would account for a lot in the world that I see...
