We laughed so hard we could cry.. Next thing I know and I hear my wife playing it again.. I scream NOOOO , but it is too late.. She starts saying EWE Gross.. I immediately think she is talking about the video... NOPE.. Cat puked on her lap while watching this... Beware.. Hide your animals while previewing....
I was so excited to see so many Obama signs on the way to work this morning.. I wish I brought my camera.. The "welcome to Rochester" sign everyone sees heading in from the east now says simply "OBAMA 08'".. The overpasses have signs hanging saying Obama.. Fences along the highway have signs saying obama.. Obama lawn signs on streetcorners. Not a HRC sign to be seen anywhere.. I think it's going to be an interesting contest in NY..
I have never been involved in politics until now.. Yes I've voted in elections, and most of the primaries that mattered, but I've never actually volunteered. This is the year. Obama is the man
I attended a great rally this afternoon in Rochester, NY.. 500 people who want change chanting "yes we can".. It was increadible..
I was driving to work, and the local station that carries Air America was raising money for the victoms of Katrina... Having been overloaded on Katrina, I turned to the conservative station just to get some balance(you know the one that carries Rush).. The anouncer, after asking people to donate, went on a tyrade on how much he hates the victoms of the Hurricane.. First he said, it took him a year to hate the victoms of 9/11, the whiners (he said).. He couldn't believe the victoms in the Astrodome couldn't calmly wait in line for the $2000 debit cards. He said, yes it is not a majority, but none the less, he was surprised he could hate the victoms so soon after the disaster.
Kind of hear warming isn't it ?? Asking for donations for these people that he hates..
All,
My wife just called in tears after hearing the moving, comments from the mayor of what was New Orleans. Her idea is to fly flags at half mast, and have vigils for the suffering. These obviously won't solve the problem, or help those that are dying as I write this, But it is an opportunity to show solidarity to those that are suffering, and probably collect a few dollars/food/ etc. to help. I have ton of clothes to donate.
After 9/11 we did these things, and now nothing. It is time for Moveon, or some group to organize these things.
Flags at half mast dammit !!
Food, clothing, money collections .
Candles, and prayer services.
This is worse than 9/11 and some group needs to organize this. I hate to say this, but if Moveon, or a "liberal" group does this, it may bring their credibility up a notch with the public too.
This Coming friday, 11:30 AM, there will be a protest / 70th Anniversary Vigil for Social Security outside Randy Kuhl's office 220 Packett's Landing, Fairport. Religous leaders will be in attendence, to lead the vigil.. Calling all Kosacks to come, and increase the numbers.. Show Randy shotgun Kuhl, that we don't support the partial privitization of Social Security. More information can be found here.
I am a member of Harris polling, so I get periodic polls on different issues.. Most of it is boring (like what brand of soda do you prefer), but todays pools was on religion, and politics.. You can see the results at
The protest is called by the In This Together Campaign http://www.inthistogethercampaign.org/
and Metro Justice is a member of this statewide coalition.
Why the Liberty Pole?
We are also hearing from organizations that have been involved in protesting
these Bush visits that the best way to get the word out about our opposition
to Bush's privatization plan is to locate our demonstration somewhere else at
a different time. This gives the media time to extricate itself from the
locked down area and makes for a more powerful image.
