Shame-Out: NRA and rifle controls

Headline October 1, 2017.
Over 50 dead. Shooter uses high speed rifle and kills over 50/wounds over 200 at music festival in Las Vegas.

It's time to finally stop letting the NRA screw up our country.

It's time to start calling EVERY gun related shooting a terrorist event.

In memorian: Yahoo SOLD to Verizon???

Oh really?

In case you don't know the backstory, but only reason Yahoo is seeming itself is that they tried to spin off the $$$ part of the company ( they were a founding investor in the Chinese compant tencent [ now the same size or larger then yahoo!]), but the IRS refused to allow yahoo a tax free spin out to its shareholders.

So,  because they couldn't get rid of the huge financial part of the company, they had to sell the main part of the business.

So...now Verizon owns @ol and Yahoo.

Hmmm.

In Memoriam: Fed CENSUS worker hanged, mutilated in USA!

This is SCARY.

AP (by way of ABC/Disney) reports that, Federal officials (FBI) said that:
A U.S. Census worker (was) found hanged from a tree near a Kentucky cemetery had the word "fed" scrawled on his chest, a law enforcement official said Wednesday

This is EXACTLY what I have been saying. The RIGHT wing so called "loyal" (used with bitter irony) opposition is ANYTHING but loyal, and is unintentionally starting to polarize our country.

I have refrained from complaining about the "Town Hall" and "Death watch" meetings, and rumors, innuendos and lies being foisted by the political party now out of office.

HOWEVER, these EXTREMELY polarizing views are STARTING to have an effect.

This is simply the first example.

Try reading Orson Scott Card's novel about the second US civil war, titled "Empire".
Exactly this (Right vs. Left) bullsh*t.

We do not need the party in opposition to the president to plant this kind of civil disobedience.

We need health care reform. These tactics are ALL smokescreens to help prevent this...

Shame-OUT: BAN the PALIN principal...It's too sad

OH Get me sick...

Palin is out of CONTROL...

After less then Two weeks? of being out of office,

Abc news (yes, they still have some original correspondents there that STILL report politics...)

reports that, despite her recent request to the press, - asking members of the media to "quit making things up.", she

Palin Paints Picture of 'Obama Death Panel' Giving Thumbs Down to Trig


at Sarah's Facebook Page

Madam Sutpid-Arsed says, and I quote...
The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama’s 'death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their 'level of productivity in society,' whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil."



Oh, what a pity. It's time for Tina Fey to make a attempt on her life, this is ridiculous..

EVIL REPUBLICANS blocked health care EVERY time in the past sixty years that it came up in congress (six times in sixty years...) AND THEY are trying again.
See my discussion of yesterday HERE

sigh

NO sarah, we don't want Trig, we want YOU euthanized. Or just go into some eskimo only bar in some town that DOESNT have phones or INTERNET, and leave us alone

Shame-OUT: It's NOT Race, it's STUPIDITY!

Hail Henry Louis Gates Jr.

Hail the Stupid, opinionated curmudgeon.

He claims it is Racial.

In reality, it is NOT Racial, it is STUPIDITY.

As a white, middle aged male, I tell my (white) teen-aged son (all the time!!!)

You absolutely must never question someone in authority. Police Officers, Teachers, and even social-workers and the like will always have power over you, even if you've just met them.

The day you open your mouth to a police officer and tell him , "but Officer", XYZ, you are leaving yourself WIDE open to get into trouble, which could be as small as a ticket, or as big as being shot to death for resisting arrest.
I say to Professor Gates:

Yes, you are right. The history of racism in our country is horrific, and its effects still linger. BUT. As a middle aged (yes, white) man, I still (to this day) need to hold my tongue so that I don't "blow my cork"! (or in reality lose my temper...)

And it hurts to admit you're out of control. The indignity you suffered in your own home is totally inappropriate, and was totally wrong. But; your outburst was NOT in your own best interests.

So, in closing, You win a 'anger-management' award. Go make some popcorn and plug in the DVD again...(and a second time until you can watch it without reacting!)

I admit, it took me two viewings to NOT burst into angry comments while watching it...

Cheers!




OK, you wanted a Political discussion: Here goes.

The background I believe that:
* We're HEADING into a DEPRESSION. We're (now) IN a depression!
* It's going to be as BAD as the last one.
* I call this Depression 2.0
* The current failures only bring us 25% into the problem!!
* According to Robert Reich (former Sec'y of Labor under Clinton): The only number that he EVER saw, defining the
depression was that the unemployment rate hovered around 25%.
* We need a new deal.
* After 58 years of NO Health Care Reform (since 1950!) it will FINALLY be coming soon...
* We've managed to WASTE a FULL generation (from Zero to thirty) with decaying social, educational, and interpersonal skills.
* Our nation is no longer DOING (producing) anything.
SO, from these few premises, I have extrapolated a great deal of items to FIX our society...

But....
We need to make sure that a number of issues are resolved ALL at once.
If we don't do them ALL at once, its like juggling three RUNNING chain saws, but dropping one!

Here's what I came up with:

We need to do the FOLLOWING to FIX our Society:
* Create A Living Wage
* Create a National Single payer Healthcare
* Create a National 3-4 year draft (or alternate service)
* Create a Federally paid Day Care starting at six months
* Implement Tax Reform on the ULTRA Rich
* Lobbying (Political Reform)
* Education
* Infrastructure (road /bridge/Systems repairs)
* Lack of Training/futures
* Truth and Reconcilliation Commission
* A new "Manhattan" project, focusing on Energy INDEPENDENCE

Meow?-Out*: Cat Parasite affects 1/2 the globe?!!!!


According to ABC/AP, We're(almost) all infected by a huge parasite.
This parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, has been transmitted indirectly from cats to roughly half the people on the planet.


Now comes the strange stuff. I will (as usual for this blog), pretend this is NEWS for the normally impaired.

Toxoplasma is not a new disease. In an article published over 12 years ago, the folks at Michigan State University published an article titled, "Why shouldn't pregnant women clean the cat litter box?" Oh yeah.
It's been proven that you don't have to get rid of your cat(s) if you're pregnant, just be more careful, and perhaps just use rubber gloves, or get the household's MALE to change the litter for you...

So we're not breaking any ground on new dangers. Just on REALLY weird behaviors and outcomes. I repeat the previous block quote. Over 1/2 of the HUMANS on the planet are infected with Toxoplasma (hereafter toxo for short).

Today's discussion. Toxo has been shown to affect human personalities in different ways. Both men and women who are infected are more prone to feeling guilty and insecure. Other researchers have linked the parasite to schizophrenia.
  • Women who are infected with the parasite tend to be warm, outgoing and attentive to others.
  • Men tend to be less intelligent and probably a bit boring.


The actual lifecyle of toxo is actually quite interesting.
It can change the personality of a rat so much that the rat surrenders itself to a cat, just as the parasite wanted. (See & Listen here).

The lifecycle in short:
  1. The parasite's eggs are shed in a cat's feces.
  2. A rat comes along, eats the feces, and becomes infected.
  3. The behavior of the rat undergoes a dramatic change, making the rat more adventuresome and more likely to hang out around cats.
  4. The cat eats the rat, and the parasite goes into the cat's stomach, and reproduces.
  5. The parasite then sheds its eggs into the feces, and the cycle of its life is completed.
Note, that the parasite cannot reproduce UNLESS it is in the stomach of a cat!
But...
The question changes slightly...

"We have a parasite in our brain that is trying to get transmitted to a cat," the researcher says. "This changes an individual's personality."


So if enough personalities are changed in a given society, will the culture of that society also be changed?
Another question: if enough of us are infected and undergo personality changes, will that also alter our combined personalities or our culture?


And yet, as a parent (and reader) of a series of young adult (Sci-Fi) books called, The Animorphs, written by K. A. Applegate, All I Can think of is..YEERKS... no, not JEERK, but Yeerk

A Yeerk is a parasite that takes over...another being by {crawling into} the ear canal. It resembles a small, grey-green slug about six inches long. Yeerks in their natural state have decent senses of smell and touch, but they are blind until they enter a host, as they do not have eyes.


EEEEWWWWW... Toxo is almost ??? as intelligent as a yeerk?? ... the yeerks.. are among us??? but they are REALLY controlled by cats???!!!!


Ehh... Enough Science Fiction for me for now...









* I called it a meow out (thanks to my wife dearest, was originally titled a Huh-out, since I couldn't figure out if this was a Shout-out, or a shame-out...

Shame-OUT: Supreme Court Scalia can't take the heat!

Simply Shameful.

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia (on the right) lives in a pigsty, but doesn't want to admit it.

Or more accurately:

He lives in a glass house, and said,
"It's ok to throw rocks at someone who lives in a glass house, but don't you dare throw one at mine!!"

ABC (via AP) says:
But Wait. Before I go into the article, Let me say this again.

Justice Scalia (at a conference hosted by the Institute of American and Talmudic Law), said: "Every single datum about my life is private? That's silly!"

In a speech earlier this year, Scalia said,: "that he was not bothered by the availability of such information. "I don't find that particularly offensive," he said. "I don't find it a secret what I buy, unless it's shameful."

He added there's some information that's private, "but it doesn't include what groceries I buy," according to the AP.


Now, I will paraphrase for the emotionally or ethically impaired. The justice says, that there is no such thing as privacy, as there is no such thing as privacy...
Do you disagee? Please reply or just add a comment...

Next: He says it's ok to throw stones, but not at him:
and to quote ABC: Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia has criticized the law professor for giving a lesson in how "what is legal may also be quite irresponsible."

Scalia (whom I personally think has just reamed himself another opening in his body cavity-- hint hint hackers anyone?) continued his tirade, when he said:

"It is not a rare phenomenon that what is legal may also be quite irresponsible. That appears in the First Amendment context all the time. What can be said often should not be said. Prof. Reidenberg's exercise is an example of perfectly legal, abominably poor judgment. Since he was not teaching a course in judgment, I presume he felt no responsibility to display any."
Soapbox mode on: I am SO UPSET. This man is one of the 9 people in OUR COUNTRY who decide what is LEGAL and what is not?

I am in a state of shock at the lack of decorum and finesse shown by our supreme court justice. PERHAPS a move to start IMPEACHMENT charges against him for inappropriate conduct unbecoming a supreme, might be a start.

Now, back to the ABC Presentation:
Joel Reidenberg, (they guy in the inset photo on the left above) a professor at Fordham University law school (in NY) assigned a project to students in his information privacy law course. A group project, that is.

His assignment?
Find any publicly available information on the notoriously private Scalia and compile it into a "dossier."

The results?
The class came up with 15 pages of information on the Justice, including:
  • his home phone number.
  • his food preferences.
  • his wife's personal e-mail address.
  • photos of his grandchildren.
But:
As professor Reidenberg pointed out,
The dossier has not been made public

and Reidenberg continued,

was {ONLY} intended, as an exercise to show students the amount of personal information that can be easily gleaned from the Web.

Now, I will again paraphrase for the emotionally or ethically impaired.

a) The information was NOT made public, and b) this was designed to show HOW much of our information is on the web.

Lets see... Apparently all hell broke loose, when Professor Reidenberg discussed the assignment at an academic conference last week. As to be expected, his comments were (then) posted on a popular legal blog.

And, to further infuriate Justice Scalia (in my humble opinion) Professor Reidenberg said he assigns a similar project each year. As a matter of fact, he said, he used himself as the test subject last year.

Reidenberg said he (only) picked Scalia after the Justice said during a speech earlier this year (which we dissected above) that he (Justice Scalia) did not believe the law should necessarily protect personal, but easily available, information.

So (again) for the emotionally or ethically impaired, I again opine, that:

Justice Scalia said, that he did not believe the law should necessarily protect personal, but easily available, information.
"Every single datum about my life is private? That's silly," Scalia told a conference hosted by the Institute of American and Talmudic Law, according to an Associated Press account of the conference.


Hey, call me a stickler, but in my humble opinion it is Professor Reidenberg 100, and Justice Scalia love in this match.

Perhaps Justice Scalia should give his seat on the Supremes to Professor Reidenberg, as the spoils of war. I'd say It's time for Justice Scalia to
a) stop speaking in public
b) Pray that a recall/impeachment drive for his seat does not start up (hint -hint!)
c) pray his time on life and Justice (after all, it was a seminar on TALMUDIC law!) is not used up.

Cheers, and comments quotes always welcome.

In Memorial: Gun Controlbadly Needed: Wife Kills hubby during Gun Lesson

Arguh. This is just STUPID..... and why we need to ban stupid J*ckarses from doing stupid shit...



Super slick, Sgt. Eric Autio wanted to make sure his new bride was safe. Especially since he was going on his third active tour to Afganistan.

So he was giving his wife a gun lesson.

He forgot rule number one.

NEVER EVER point a gun (loaded or unloaded) at someone's head.

Whoopsie.... I guess the LATE Sgt. Eric Autio is telling his guardian, that his beloved missed (or just must have failed) that lesson.

Peter Hamm, communications director for the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, told ABCNews.com that while Autio's death was tragic, "unfortunately, it was not unique."

"In terms of people handing other people firearms in a casual way and talking about the firearms, it happens a lot," he said.

Shame-OUT: US Muslim 'allegedly' Beheads Wife IN USA

This goes down for an "'omg', I can't believe you are going to get away with murder" award.

Founder of TV network aimed at countering Muslim stereotypes accused of beheading wife in NY

Muzzammil "Mo" Hassan is accused of beheading his wife last week, days after she filed for divorce.

Hassan and his {NOW DECEASED wife} lived in Orchard Park — a well-off Buffalo suburb — and started Bridges TV there in 2004 with the aim of developing understanding between North America and the Middle East and South Asia. The network, available across the U.S. and Canada, was believed to be the first English-language cable station aimed at the rapidly growing Muslim demographic.

Paul Moskal, who worked for the FBI in Buffalo became friendly with the husband, when he was interviewed would on Bridges TV in shows that were intended to improve understanding between Muslim-Americans and law enforcement.

"His personal life kind of betrayed what he tried to portray publicly," Moskal said.

Orchard Park Police Chief Andrew Benz said police had responded to domestic incidents involving the couple, most recently Feb. 6, the day the hysband was served with the divorce papers and an order of protection.
Six days later, Hassan went to a police station and told officers his wife was dead at the TV studio.
"We found her laying in the hallway outside the TV studio, his wife's head was near her body." the Police Chief said.


The New York president of the National Organization for Women (NOW), Marcia Pappas, condemned prosecutors for referring to the death as an apparent case of domestic violence.

"This was, apparently, a terroristic version of 'honor killing,'" a statement from NOW said.
Nadia Shahram, who teaches family law and Islam at the University at Buffalo Law School, explained honor killing as a practice still accepted among fanatical Muslim men who feel betrayed by their wives.

"If a woman breaks the law which the husband or father has placed for the wife or daughter, honor killing has been justified," said Shahram, who was a regular panelist on a law show produced by Bridges TV. "It happens all the time. It's been practiced in countries such as Pakistan and in India."

NO it doesn't happen in the US of A, and NO it isn't appropriate HERE OR THERE...
Nancy Sanders, the TV station's news director for 2 1/2 years, remembers him asking her to move her feet during her job interview so he would not see her legs. She was wearing a skirt and stockings.
Sanders, who left the TV network a year ago, said co-workers traded stories about Hassan's apparent violent streak, including one which had him running his wife's car off the road while the couple's two young children were inside. Aasiya herself never spoke of it, she said. "I just do not feel it was an honor killing," Sanders added. "I think it was domestic abuse that got out of control."


I leave it for you to decide.


What would YOU do?

Shame-OUT: Circuit City. Why open New stores if closing ones?

I just don't get it.
Circuit City just announced they were closing (20% ??) of their stores by 12/31/07

so Why are they opening a new store in New Jersey (on route 22, in Bound Brook)?

I just don't get it. Just take the loss on the lease, don't hire anyone, and turn place back to the landlord...

It makes sense to ME at least!

And another thing...

Does ANYONE now doubt we're ENTERING a recession??

Remember this. When the FIRST world war happened, it WASN't called World War I
It was called the GREAT war. (until the Second world war).

ANd just like that, the GREAT depression WAS NOT called the GREAT depression when it happened. IT started to be called that AFTER it was ending...

So everyone who says we're NOT in a depression???? Get real... This is it...

Waste Your Vote? Why vote Palin? A personal question

To those I personally know who claim they are voting for John McCain.

1) Get real. He AIN'T a muslim. You listen to too much Rush Limbaugh and radical talk-shows.
2) The REPUBLICAN (read RIGHT WING John Birch Society) Nuts have LOST. THIS Financial crisis was the DEATH KNOLL of the conservative movement.
3) Waste your vote?? Are you crazy? Do you know how dangerous John McCain is today?
4) NOW is NOT the time to punish the Democratic party because Hillary isn't the nominee.
5) Barak Obama, UNLIKE the republican candidate, has NOT resorted to NEGATIVE campaigning, Negative ROBO-Phone calls, or even claiming Obama is not qualified, or is simply a terrorist.
5a) FOR SHAME to you for think you're better off then you were 8 years ago.
6) Are you better then you were 30 days ago? NO. Why vote for the guy that has NO FINANCIAL Knowledge?
7) Do you really think Bill Ayers is a Terrorist? You lived through the sixties.
One of you was actually in the ARMY.
Give me a break. He paid his DUES. Call me a terrorist then!

8) and WHY the heck is McCain so desperate that he's resorting to THAT?!

and FINALLY

9) are you buying that "obama will raise taxes bull-turds? Do you REALLY make OVER $250,000 per year? Gee I never knew that.

10) Even MY plans raise taxes (mine above 1million, with a new MINIMUM Millionaire Tax (MMT) of 1-5% of GROSS income!)

Yes, I like John McCain. Until he decided to go for the "Republican Base" (read the conservative base of ANTI-Abortion, PRO GUN, PRO CHRISTIAN and evangelical groups).

He has TOTALLY sold out his policies:

a) He reversed his policy on Drilling for Oil in Alaska. ALL of a sudden, it's fine
b) HE admits HE HAS NO FINANCIAL Knowledge. And he was PROUD of this last year!
b1) NOW is NOT THE TIME for a FINANCIAL NEOPHYTE to be in the WHITE HOUSE. We have JUST (almost) gotten rid of the WORST President in The ENTIRE HISTORY of this country.
b2) Now is NOT the time for someone who said, "The economy is FINE" IN SEPTEMBER of 2008. (and then reverses himself less then three hours later.)

c) John McCain and Joe Lieberman? That would have been a ticket that I could not have avoided supporting. Sarah Tina Palin? Let's vote to have her KICKED off Saturday Night Live. Tina Fey does a better Sarah Palin.

Don't insult me by saying that Sarah Palin is ready to be Governor, let alone the President.
Don't insult me by saying that Sarah Palin isn't going to be President. It has happened.
Don't insult me by saying that Sarah Palin is a great alternative to Barak Obama.


Please Answer This message (I will re-post it anonymously for you)

Feel free to CITE sources,


Mark

PS: for the record, I am STILL voting for OBAMBA, even if I hold my nose while I do it.

I think it's the better choice for our country.

Dereliction of Duty: Treason Continued

Dereliction of duty

According to Reference.com,
Dereliction of duty
Dereliction of duty is a specific offense in military law. It includes various elements centered around the avoidance of any duty which may be properly expected.

In the U.S. Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), dereliction of duty is addressed within the regulations governing the failure to obey an order or regulation.

It means that one willfully, through negligence or culpable inefficiency, fails to perform one's expected duties. (Added EMPHASIS:)

Ineptitude is a defense against the charge.

Well I'm on board for that.



We can't impeach the President, but we can charge him with DERELICTION OF DUTY, he can plead guilty by reason of ineptness, and we can all move onThe maximum penalty in the U.S. is
  1. a bad-conduct discharge
  2. forfeiture of pay
  3. and six months confinement

Let's GO FOR it. Prosecute for Dereliction of DUTY!

Shame-OUT: SWAT team awarded bravery medals - Hit wrong targets!

Ya gotta hand it to some police Departments.

ABC reports that


Botched SWAT Raid Officers Given Medals for 'Bravery Under Fire


This family had the fright of a lifetime when they believed their home was being invaded by burglars, or worse. It was actually a SWAT team, conducting a high-risk search warrant -- on the wrong house.

The fact that the city of Minneapolis would give medals of valor and commendation to this SWAT team is shocking and outrageous," the family's attorney said.

Because their house is located in a part of town known for gang violence, The ownerng said he feared an intrusion when his home was forcefully entered. With his legally owned hunting shotgun, he fired at what he thought were unknown invaders from behind the second-floor bedroom door where he, his wife, and four of their six children huddled for safety, according to the Attorney.

Police claimed to have protected the six children -- ranging in ages from 3 to 15 -- that night, but the Attorney says it's "hogwash." Two of the children jumped up from a mattress on the floor to hide in a corner seconds before the same mattress was littered with bullets fired from the police, he said.

Shame-Out: Man decapitated on Bus.

The "Beeb" (BBC) reports:



A man on a Greyhound bus travelling across the Canadian Prairies was killed and decapitated by the guy sittng next to him...

An eyewitness said the victim was stabbed 50 or 60 times by the man sitting next to him, who then severed his head with a large knife.

The bus made an emergency stop to allow passengers to escape and the driver barred the door from the outside while waiting for the police to arrive.
"All of a sudden, we all heard this scream, this bloodcurdling scream," a passenger said.

The man calmly walked up to the front [of the bus] with the head in his hand and the knife and just calmly stares at us and drops the head right in front of us," the passenger said. "There was no rage in him ... It was just like he was a robot or something," he added.

This passenger said he and a truck driver helped the bus driver bar the bus door to prevent the attacker from leaving.

When the attacker tried to drive the bus away, the driver disabled the vehicle.

We need to do the FOLLOWING to FIX our Society:
* Create A Living Wage
* Create a National Single payer Healthcare
* Create a National 3-4 year draft (or alternate service)
* Create a Federally paid Day Care starting at six months
* Implement Tax Reform on the ULTRA Rich
* Lobbying (Political Reform)
* Education
* Infrastructure (road /bridge/Systems repairs)
* Lack of Training/futures
* Truth and Reconcilliation Commission
* A new "Manhattan" project, focusing on Energy INDEPENDENCE

Shame-Out: teenagers Everywhere are Stupid

Mrs. Dobyasyouwouldbedoneby says:

Teenagers are teenagers. To me, this means they are all brain dead.

Doesn't matter where they live, they ALL get stupid ideas:

Case in Point:
Polwat Chino, was said to have had an a-ha moment, and wondered if it was as easy in real life to rob a taxi as it was in the Grand Theft Auto.

After he confessed to killing the (REAL-LIFE) cab-driver, the game's distributor in Asia, directed all of its stores in Thailand to pull the popular video game.


Thanks to the NYTimes for catching this beauty!

AUGH...

OK, you wanted a Political discussion: Here goes.

The background I believe that:
* We're HEADING into a DEPRESSION.
* It's going to be as BAD as the last one.
* According to Robert Reich (former Sec'y of Labor under Clinton): The only number that he EVER saw, defining the
depression was that the unemployment rate hovered around 25%.
* We need a new deal.
* After 58 years of NO Health Care Reform (since 1950!) it will FINALLY be coming soon...
* We've managed to WASTE a FULL generation (from Zero to thirty) with decaying social, educational, and interpersonal skills.
* Our nation is no longer DOING (producing) anything.
SO, from these few premises, I have extrapolated a great deal of items to FIX our society...

But....
We need to make sure that a number of issues are resolved ALL at once.

Shame-Out: Sunbathing over the Dead


AP (Via ABC) reports that:

Sunbathers 'hang out' Next To Child Corpses:

Sunbathers on a beach soaking up the rays, next to a pair of covered child corpses.

The beachgoers carried on Saturday as if nothing were amiss, ignoring that two children from the Roma [Gypsy]ethnic group had drowned, ostensibly before their eyes.

"We picked up the bodies amid total indifference," the ambulance driver who went to collect the bodies told the Italian newspaper..

People were eating lunch only a few feet away from the dead girls.


This incident comes as Italy has recently been criticized for its treatment of the Roma people, a population historically familiar with persecution (*). They are often referred to as Gypsies.

The Archbishop of Naples, Cardinal Crescenzo Sepe, warned on his blog that "to be indifferent should not be human," when told of the news.

(*) Mark shudders as he says: Replace the word Roma/Gypsies with ...the 'N' word, or the word "Dirty Jews" and then RE-READ the ENTIRE article...

Shame-OUT: Soldier's Husband Stabbed, Raped Her

A Shame-OUT. We need the military to START re-training the men (PIGS) in the military. AP says:

The soldier's husband ...
kicked her in the face,
stabbed and
raped her
before KIDNAPPING her from her off-post apartment last week and taking her to Nevada

police told the family that the apartment was a wreck and blood was found inside.

SO happy she's actually alive (for a change...)

Shout-Out's and Shame-out's (Intro)

Introducing a new short feature:

Shout and Shame-Out's

Quick Pro's and Con's to vendors out there.

Shame out: to Dunkin' Donuts
Why: OVERPRICED ICED Coffee ICE.

Background:

The perfect recipe for a cup of iced coffee:
take two cups where one is double the size of the first:
(For example: A 16 oz and a 32 oz cup)

1) Fill first (smaller cup) with coffee/milk/sweetner.
2) Fill second (larger cup) to the brim with ICE.
ICE is NOT purchased. It is Made ON the SITE of the store(with two ingredients! [filtered water and Electricity]

3) Take Small Cup, fill Large cup with contents.
4) cover large cup, and give to customer, for inflated PREMIUM price for DOUBLE the cost of the same SMALL size.
EXAMPLE
A 16 oz. cup of coffee now costs $1.79 (what ever happened to the $0.69 cent coffee?)
The same sized coffee (16oz) , with 200% more ice is now given to you as the customer for $3.09 (which if my math is still correct )which is a 71% price increase.

Jeers to Dunkin' Donuts for DUNKing OUR WALLETS at THEIR expense.


Shout-Out to WAWA (fast food chain like 7-11)

Cheers to Wawa convenience Stores.

WHY: Their Soda fountains have WATER and Seltzer taps that are MARKED.


Note that 7-11 and Quick-Chek do NOT have soda fountains that are marked with SELTZER taps...



=================================
(In case you haven't seen this before, I believe the CURRENT recession will become a BAD DEPRESSION (Just like the 1930's!)
We're HEADING into a DEPRESSION.

We need a new deal.

We need to make sure that a number of issues are resolved ALL at once.
If we don't do them ALL at once, its like juggling three RUNNING chain saws, but dropping one!

We need to FIX:
* A Living Wage
* National Single payer Healthcare
* National 3-4 year draft (or alternate service)
* Federally paid Day Care starting at six months
* Tax Reform
* Lobbying (Political Reform)
* Education
* Infrastructure
* Lack of Training/futures
