Think about this tomorrow as you sit down to your Thanksgiving Feast! And remember your local Food Bank!
If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep you are richer than 75% of this world.
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among the top 8% of the worlds wealthy.
And if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in the world who has that opportunity.
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness .... you are more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day.
If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation .... you are ahead of over 700 million people in the world.
If you can attend a church without the fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death you are envied by, and more blessed than, three billion people in the world.
If your parents are still alive and still married ...you are very rare.
If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you're unique to all those in doubt and despair.
And if you can't seem to rev yourself up and out of depression, just quietly say "thank you." Just find ONE SMALL THING to be grateful for. Then go outside, look up and breathe. The more you are grateful, the more you get out of yourself. "It's by self-forgetting that we find..." - Lydia
If you can read this you are very special and you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.
Have a good day, and count your blessings!!- Anonymous

The Dow just had the BEST 4 days since 1932!
ReplyDeleteI like the Paul Volker appointment.............i'd prefer to see him as Fed Chairmen though rather than Bernanke!............apparantly the market likes the appointments and whats being done as well!
ReplyDeleteYea it's good news, thats for sure. Also helping is Paulson finally putting out lending capital, with this new 800 billion dollar program.
ReplyDeleteThats going to help no doubt but why the hell did they have to give away 700 billion first and let the banks squander it?
Bush and Paulson are mismanaging this mess worse than anything I've ever seen. One week they're doing one thing, the next week they're doing something else. Its like watching a bunch of school kids tryign to run a department store.
Except the school kids would likely do a better job.
It REALLY looks like credit is starting to free up and the reflation trades are starting................i've been TRYING to get fully invested over the last few days and the damn hedge funds are diving back in and making it hard.............the gold stock i have been trying to buy is up over 80% over the last week or so...........ticks up every time I try to buy it.
ReplyDeleteThe world smells inflation coming NOT deflation!
These last 4 days though have been promising. If the dow can climb for 4 days in a row then that means we've already hit the bottom.

Yep..........and yep.........credit is starting to flow again banks, gold and shipping have really popped this week since that 800 billion program started.
But Paulson and Bush are as incompetent as ever which comes as no surprise to me...........I cant wait till Bernanke, Paulson, Mukasey, Martin....etc and all the residue of incompetent buffoons is fired!
Volker along with Carter broke the back of inflation by diversifying and cutting our dependency on imported oil and raising interest rates to crush inflation and that insured 20 years of prosperity and economic well being.
ReplyDeleteStagflation and Malaise come to mind...
ReplyDeleteEven the talking heads on TV are steering clear of associating Volcker with Carter. Most are mentioning him in association with Reagan.

Yeah the Right Wing bought and paid for MSM is smearing liberals and glorifying repuggies go figure...............sorry Simple Simon I KNOW how much you guys like to revise and rewrite history but Carter was the one who appointed Volker and Carter was the one who increased fuel economy standards for cars and developed Nuclear, natural gas, solar, wind, coal power to cut demand for imported oil that brought inflation down...............its not his problem he inheritted inflation from the wars and reckless spending of Nixon and Johnson!
Carter put solar panels on the White House and one of the first things Reagan did was rip them down.
ReplyDeleteHow long will it take you repugs retards to start calling Volker Paul Adolph Volker to associate him with Hitler just like you call Obama Barack Hussein Obama to associate him with Saddam Hussein..................It only showns are intellecually and morally bankrupt you irrelevant clowns are and that you truly have NOTHING LEFT.............when I was 3 years old the nurserey school kids would chant Michael Michael Motorcycle blew a fart and fell apart............very similar to the Reich Wing mindlessly chanting Barack Hussein Obama showing their mentality and thinking processes are similar to a 3 year olds.

All those jobs, ....middle class wealth.....all that damn money....."stagnating" up my bank account.
You guys did much better, what with your global economic meltdown and all.....

And it so much easier to manage my money these days.....with so little of it to manage and all...
And ole Bush, he sure showed Clinton about how to stimulate the economy, thats for sure.
ReplyDeleteDid he squander that 1.6 trillion dollar surplus handed to him by dumb ole Bill Clinton on job creation, business incentives and all that haughty taughty smart talk gobbledygook?
Not Mr Bush, no sir.
He didn't mess with all that complicated financial crap, no siree....he just divided it up and gave us all 600 bucks.

this blog started 3 years ago, right around Thanksgiving. November 2005 with the
ReplyDeleteAnn Coulter article.
"Yeah the Right Wing bought and paid for MSM is smearing liberals and glorifying repuggies go figure..."
ReplyDeleteThe fact that you could spout this BS after THIS ELECTION is a testament to your intellect.
And Bart, while you're reveling in full Clinton glory just think of how much of that was made possible by Newt Gingrich and the Contract with America. (hint Clinton signed SEVEN of the ten points into law)
Well pinhead, considering I've often tauted the bi partisan effort that included Gingrich with regards to the capital gains tax bill etc, I don't think I need an idiot like you to remind me.
ReplyDeleteEspecially when you can't even remember me saying it over and over and over.
And even more especially, some pinheaded dimwit who thinks the economy was better under Bush rule than clinton.
Or who who doesn't realize that deregulation of the mortgage lending industry COMBINED with the "new programs", led to our current economic crisis.
Or one so stupid as to not even have the capacity to SCROLL UP, and read where I hit the democrats like Pelosi and Reid equally as hard as I hit Bush on the current economic crisis.
No, I really don't think I need the help of a mindless twit like yourself.

But do drop me your resume, and we'll keep you in mind if I ever need a village idiot to babble about sh$t thats a few thousand lightyears over his head.
Call me though.

Gee, suddenly awfully silent in here.
ReplyDeleteTell you what Volt, in the spirit of the holidays and all, you stpp saying really stupid, antagonistic things and I'll stop calling you really stupid.
Deal?
:|
Think Dicken's.
Easier said than done for the trolls!
ReplyDeleteMaybe he can wire his mouth shut like Coulter...........maybe that would help!
ReplyDeleteMore lies, more dolty lies...
ReplyDeleteI recall Newt, all right. I recall that he forced a Government shutdown, which backfired on him.
Whether dolty wants to admit it or not, Newt's Congress was in operation between the years 2001 and 2007 with what should have been the perfect Executive. Newt's Congress, along with dolty's Messiah, share equally in the blame for the position we find ourselves in now. The Goppers have left no doubt as to what happens when they get handed power, and it is far from the fairy tales dolty and his dope-addicted pedophile hero like to tell.
Voltron was referring to the bi-partisan effort by Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich to create real middle class wealth, which was realized with the bi-partisan passing of the Capital Gains Tax bill, an effort I've spoken of many times in here, which is why he's a moron for pretending to "edyooocate" me on it.
ReplyDeleteHe's like a trollbot, just rehashing talking points he must have written down on cue cards so everytime one of us says "uh huh" he can say "nuh uh".
The irony of course is the bi-partisan efforts he's tauting as "Newts" efforts, was of course a prime example of what the spirit of Bi-Partisanship can really accomplish, something HIS president, Herr Busch, never, ever, ever, ever ever even approached.
Bush played partisan out of the gate, and divided this country like I've never seen in my half century on the planet.
And of course the bigger irony is its the same spirit of bi-partisanship that President Obama is bringing to the table early on, filling his cabinet with both liberals, moderates and even conservatives, as well as moving toward the middle on key issues, and allowing for ALL voices to be heard, and considered.
Something the mental midget he helped elect and keep in office for the last 8 years, NEVER did.

ReplyDeleteI actually disagree with this assessment. Newt got forced into a corner and began playing along. The real agenda of the wingtards that Newt brought into Congress was always to strip everyone but the rich of wealth, and they succeeded beyond their wildest expectations.
Well I'm not really defending Newts motives, I was just pointing out the bipartisan effort to make it work. Regardless of why either party did it, the fact is it showed that when they do get together, whether compelled or of their own accord, the two parties can actually get something done.
ReplyDeleteWhen they work together.
Volt was selling it as "Newt's" effort, and of course he expected (and wanted) me to respond by saying "Nuh uh Bill Clinton did it", but the fact is they both had to suck it up and work together, and when they did, the American people won.

ReplyDeletedrizzle drazzle, drazzle droll...
Lydia, I've been real busy, but i just reread that retroality piece.............thats god stuff you need to keep those coming!
ReplyDeleteLydia said "There are very few parts for women who are not 18, and even fewer parts for black actresses who dont look like Halle Berry. Hollywood NEEDS to stop MANUFACTURING bimbos for us to worship"
ReplyDeleteI've said this for years how I find it insulting how the Media Empires and conglomerates think stars/actors/actressess are disposable and they can just manufacture new stars every few years when the established stars start commanding high salaries and getting name recognition...............I really find it insulting how they view talent as disposable in the past it took years, often decades to establish a star and build a career..........now with the hubris of the media empires they get rid of the older established talent who earned their place through talent and hard work and just use their media empires to endlessly hype a bunch of unknown eye candy they dont have to pay well................THATS WHY THESE MEDIA EMPIRES NEED TO BE BROKEN UP!
You should see what these pathetic lying trolls are spewing in their echo chamber/chatroom................up is down, black is white, lies are truth to these idiots
ReplyDeleteWill "take no prisoners" Hart said...
ReplyDeleteMike, amongst your list of Bush villains was Bob Gates. Well, it appears that your hero doesn't necessarily agree with you. He might be keeping him on, actually. And HILLARY!! as Secretary of Defense? Where's the "change", bro?
P.S. How 'bout the Mikester, though? He shoots his wad on Bob Gates, only to learn that Obama just might keep Bob Gates. It really must suck to be Mike sometimes."
No it ACTUALLY must suck to be an illiterate lying Reich Wing troll with ADHD and a reading comprehension problem because I said NOTHING of the sort I actually defended Gates and stated why the pick made sense...........While i'm no huge fan of Gates I said i'm ok with the pick and why it made sense........
Heres what I ACTUALLY said"
Mike said "Personally I have no problem with Hillary as Sec of state or Gates staying on as Sec of Def...............I think they both have the potential to to a great job and clean up Bush and his Neo Con cronnies foreign policy disasters.
Never envisioned myself defending Gates..........but seriously its the Sec of Defenses job to carry out the will of the president and insure the mission he is given is successful and Gates resisted the idiocy of the Neo Cons as much as he could, he was a breath of fresh air after Rummy..........With Admiral Fallon run out by Bush's Neo Con war mongers Gates was pretty much ALL that stood between the Neo Cons attacking Iran and startting WW3.............Gates released NIE's and other intelligence reports that seriously undermined the credibility and ability of the Neo Cons to attack Iran...........if Gates had been any more defiant or under cut the NEo Con agenda any more he would have been fired and replaced with a blindly loyal Neo Con lacky and we would have had WW3.
Bart I dont think your seeing WHY Obama would keep Gates...........its like a chess master thinking endgame at the beginning of the game...........Obama is thinking 2012 NOW............IF we keep Bush's Defense Sec and give him a new mission and Iraq gets fixed then its CLEAR to ALL iraq was a failure of Bush/Neo Con leadership and incompetence and the Neo Cons will not be able to claim the Demacrats surrendered in Iraq.........are they going to say Bush's defense surrendered??
He's marginalizing the Neo Con loons and giving Hilllary and Gates a chance to redeem themselves..........and lets not forget its their JOBS to carry out the Will of the President if they dont follow Obama's agenda and lead they can be fired.

So not only is Bill O'lielly lying AS USUAL that I CLAIMED Gates was a "BUSH VILLAIN" but also that i had a problem with him staying on..............not only did I clearly state Gates is NOT a Neo Con but I clearly defended him and said I am ok with Obama retaining him.............let me just clarify that I am no huge fan of Gates and I would also be ok with him being replaced but Gates is not A Neo Con, i'm ok with him staying on and he is far from the devil in fact Gates was clearly the voice of reason after Admiral Fallon was run out of the military compared to Rummy, GWB and Cheney he was a breath of fresh air that quite possibly helped prevent WW3!
Heres another Gem from the trolls Bart....................Voltron Said"And you missed the early days when Bart wanted to control her blog. He hacked her site and others computers who were trying to access it, causing much chaos until she gave him control of security. After that it all settled down.
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime though FF and I and Rusty and others were accused of all the problems they were having.
Whatever. He's a liar, and accusations like that show he hasn't a clue of what actually happened.
ReplyDeleteIf he did he'd know that I offered to host Lydia's site because she could never publish because she had a size limit on her Web server account of 50 mb. This kept filling up with the auto archiving process when Blogger publishes her archives so when it would fill up she could no longer publish from blogger.
This same size limitation also meant that when comments were posted the cover page did not show the increased comment count since the cover page was not updating do to the size limitation.
Lydia incorrectly associated this with hackers hacking into her site, and asked for my help, at which time I volunteered to host the site until we got it worked out at which time I identified the above issue of the size limitation and related that to her. She still felt there were issues because you and Clif were reporting them so I continued to host the site for a while as a favor.
So unless Voltron's claiming I decide for her ISP the size limitations on their FTP and Web servers, then his story is full of sh%t. Just like him.
I hosted her site because of a technical problem with her old ISP. A simple "SIZE LIMITATION".
It had nothing to do with hacking, showing once more that the idiot that calls itself "Voltron", doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground.
:|
Course if he'd remove his head he might get a better look.
No need to defend yourself................even if the blog wasnt being hacked I KNOW there were hackers targeting Clif and myself and I KNOW they were Reich Wing trolls of that I am sure...........Clif knows it too.
ReplyDeleteAnd the reason things sort of "settled down" after I took over is not due to anything so fancy or exciting as a stop to "hacking".
ReplyDeleteThe reason things "sort of settled down" was because once she was on my server the 50 MB size limit was no longer an issue, and she could once more regularly publish again.
Instead of having to call her old IT guy to fix the problem (which he did by cleaning up her FTP folder).
Once again Voltron shows himself to be what I always said he was.
An idiot who doesn't know what he's talking about.

Ever.

ReplyDeletePoor Mike has been trying to establish a positive legacy for Carter the past two years.
Instead of trying to rewrite history Mike shold try cracking open a history book once in a while.
Its gererally accepted that Carter was one of, if not the worst president of the 20th century.
The past years spike in fuel prices was nothing compared to people waiting in line for hours to get three gallons on gasoline during Carters years.
Not to mention 12% unemployment and interest rates as high as 21%
limiting home buying to almost zero.
I could mention the americans held hostage for over 400 days in Iran while Carter sat around with his thumb up his ass afraid to do anything.
Yea,old Jimmy was one hell of a president.Its easy to shut Mike up when he goes into his pro Carter rant...just ask him if Carter was in fact that good why on earth did the american people throw him out of office after one term in the second largest landslide defeat in the 20th century."
Its you gutless trolls that yry to rewrite history...............here allow me to correct your ignorance Crusty!
1) First of all little Troll Unemployment was NOWHERE NEAR 12% under Carter and Interest rates were NOWHERE Near 21% under Carter and Housing wasnt dead yet either the truth is Carter appointed Paul Volker and starting raising interest rates and that coupled with the treasonous Iran Contra scam the treasonous Repug/Neo Con assholes pulled probably cost him relection......interest but unemployment reached a high of about 11% under Ronald Reagan in 1983 and intersst rates Also topped 20% under Reagan not Carter little troll!
2) As for the hostages what was The Reich Wing doing during the hostage crisis..........oh yeah committing treason selling weapons to the enemy to steal the presidency then pardoning all the treasonous bastards kinda like that treasonous war criminal GWB will do soon.
3)As for the reason Carter Didnt win........he dint selfishly politicize EVERYTHING and think short term for short term self serving political gain like the treasonous greedy Reich Wing does.............he urged sacrifice, conservation and actually made hard decisions like appointing Volker to raise interest rates to induce a recession to break the back of inflation before an election............Carter also diversified our country away from its dependency on foreign oil by increasing fuel economy standards in automobiles, building solar, wind, nuclear, coal, Natural gas power plants that enabled inflation to be contained and allowed the economic prosperity we enjoyed for over 20 years under Reagan and Clinton...........without Carters longterm thinking and personal sacrifice regarding greater energy independence and in allowing Volker to raise interest rates to fight inflation we would have never enjoyed the economic prosperity of the 80's and 90's!
See DoltyDipSh$t?
ReplyDeleteNo glamourous "hacking".
No "secret desires for control".
Just a simple size limitation, and the removal thereof by a friend who did a friend a favor.
Nothing more.
Bart said "Once again Voltron shows himself to be what I always said he was.
ReplyDeleteAn idiot who doesn't know what he's talking about.
:|
Ever."
Go figure...........i'm flabbergasted not our Duncetron?............LOL!
Mike said...
ReplyDeleteNo need to defend yourself................
Not defending myself.
Just setting the record straight.
And if I wanted "control" over Lydia's site then why was I ALWAYS asking her to move to her new server, lol?
ReplyDeleteI was always pestering her to get off my server because she took up more bandwidth and space then I did.
If I really wanted all this "control" these morons accuse me of, then I wouldn't have been such a jerk (I was kind of a jerk when I finally forced her to move off me) when I demanded she move this summer.
I was tired of hosting the site, and dealing with all the problems that went along with that, especially since every idiot out there like Voltron, (including some liberal bloggers in here) kept trying to convince her I was some sort of evil maniac trying to control her site and blog, especially when she started acting like she believed it.
If everyone wanted to believe that I wanted control of the site so much then I decided f$#@k em all, why keep hosting it for free when all I got for it was a lot of crap and a lot of false, RIDICULOUS accusations?????
So I said enough. And yes, I was a jerk the week I did it, and I acted like a dickwad.
But after a year and half of hosting the site only to be accused of everything under the sun, I guess I had just reached my tolerance limits, and reacted poorly.
THATS what happened. Thats the truth, and I'm sure Lydia will tell you the same thing.
I NEVER "wanted" to host the site. I did it as a favor, and because Lydia deserved it. She was and I hope still is a friend, and theres nothing more to it.
No sinister intentions. No secret desires for control. Just a friend doing a friend a favor, and eventually that favor came to an end. Thats all. She found a better place to host it, with people she does business and such with and thats all there is to it.
Nothing exciting. Nothing secret. Nothing glamourous.
Just a simple technical problem that I helped work out by hosting the site for a while, and then thanks to a lot of idiots in here specualting on a lot of sh%t they knew nothing about, it came to an end.
No, the truth is much more boring, and much more simple. It usually is.
ReplyDeleteThe irony here of course is these are the clowns always accusing us of being the "conspiracy nuts".
Well who's the conspiracy nut now?
LOL heres another recent gem from Voltron the Tinfoil Hat wearing Conspiracy theorist.
ReplyDeleteVoltron said "Voltron said...
She claimed once that I was hosting malicious software on my site here.
But several times after visiting HER site I ran virus scans and found keyloggers and various other spyware on my computer.
They have deleted posts of mine and made it look like I did it, (post removed by author...etc) when I did not. Cliffy is very good at posting under someone else's alias too.
It's pretty simple actually. They accuse you of doing something you're not, so then they claim they're justified in doing it back to you.
Just keep watching. If they accuse you of something, it just means their already doing it.
But No Voltron isnt a conspiracy theorist he's a big tough repug!
ReplyDeleteAnd then there is Crusty LYING and CLAIMING that unemployment was 12% under President Carter when the TRUTH is it NEVER Exceeded 7.8% during the Carter Presidency!
ReplyDeleteCrusty then said back in 2006 and 2007 that interest rates were at 40 YEAR ALLTIME LOWS when the TRUTH is they had risen over 500% from 1% to 5 1/4%.
Then there is Will the LYING blog troll CLAIMING I was ranting on how that Neo Con Cronny Robbert Gates MUST go when the truth is I not only said I was ok with Obama retaining him but actually defended him as NOT being a Neo Con cronny a mere 2-3 days ago.
These clowns arent exactly beacons of truth!
ReplyDeleteThats hilarious. Lydia's never done anything like that and the fact is there's no way they could delete Voltron's comment and make it look like he did it because that would need to occur on the Blogger server, not on Lydia's server. That means they'd have to have his password to log in as him to delete it. Otherwise it would either say deleted by administrator or they could just make it disappear altogether but they couldn't make it say deleted by author. At least I know of no such feature in Blogger and thats where it would have to happen.
ReplyDeleteWhat a conspiracy nutcase he is.
While you can post as someone else simply by typing in their handle, or at least you used to be able to, you can't DELETE THEIR comments, and make it look like they did it without their password.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if this stems from him being a conspiraist or just technically morose.
ReplyDelete:|
The accusations are laughable and its even more laughable to see what their conspiring little minds come up with.
The fact is when I first came in this blog there was a bible dude here, can't remember his handle now, and a guy named Eric. I kicked the bible dudes ass (I think his name was "Big T") over a ridiculous claim he made that the general population actually "welcomed" the Inquisition, making a fool of him when he tried to purport that the Inquisition consisted soley of the Spanish Inquisition. After that I wrote a little poem, mocking his pathetic debating skills and biblical knowledge, at which point Lydia found this Eric guy in another blog calling for help against me (calling me a bible guy or something) and then I made so much sport of this Eric guy, that he disappeared, reappearing as Voltron. (And I think BigT reappeared as TallTexann).
So for 3 years these same guys have been in here, badgering people and making fools of themselves with their brainwashed doctrines of Facism and Totalitariansim, as well as social prejudice and global domination. Their only purpose here is to insult and ridicule liberals, progressives and anyone else who doesn't think like them, and for 3 years Lydia has been a gracious host.
You'd think one day they'd get up and just look in the mirror and say, "today's the day I'm going to be the good guy, ...today's the day I can no longer live with the lies,", but they never do.
Lydia's been nothing but kind to these guys, and I doubt theirs a right wing blog anywhere that would be so tolerant as she has been of them.
Mike you showed up around then. Clif I dragged in from ThinkProgress. And then the dreaded "JohnnyMooMoo" appeared, with his Eddie Haskell routine.., gee, I'm new to blogging and just happened to find this blog...I'm not a republican or a democrat and am just looking for some nice chat....blah blah your hair looks very lovely today Ms Cornell blah blah blah....
ReplyDeleteThose were some interesting times.
I always admired Lydia back then because she came out against Bush back when it still wasn't cool to come out against Bush.
I mean, it was one thing for Johnny Six Pack's (or if you're like me, Johnny SnackPack) nobody's to be willing to speak out, but for a public figure like that, a celebrity to come out, well that took courage. After all look what they did to the Dixie Chicks. So thats why I came in, and I remember the trolls mocking me for being here, saying all sorts of mean, foul crap about it.
:|
Those were the days.
New blog thread is up. Check out the title.
ReplyDeleteAlso, please let me know your opinions of Obama's cabinet, including Hillary.
Thanks!
Gee Bart, I never knew anyone noticed. Actually I lived in a great deal of fear the past 3 years - for speaking out. Fear of being blacklisted too.
ReplyDeleteTMZ, owned by FOX recently tried to destroy Heather Thomas for speaking out about 9/11. It was such a cheap shot. She is such a generous humanitarian and is always helping people.
Since I've been writing and interviewing people like Tom Daschle, Pat Buchanan, Paul Begala, Sen. Patrick Murphy -- so maybe they can't say anything.
