Good work. Keep it up….

As I’ve mentioned before, if you want everyone to contribute, we all pay taxes. As for the bigoted reference to people who live off the sweat of someone else’s brow, I invite you to spend a few months doing minimum wage work. It’s not fun, and it’s not anywhere near profitable enough to pay health insurance with and still live.

More proof that lip service from candidates is alive and well. Integrity? Not so much.

I am not a Barak Obama fan. I was somewhat ambiguous in my feelings until that little bit with him attacking Senator Clinton over something Bob Novak printed in his column. Bob Novak? That just left a bad taste in my mouth. Then there was the bit about attacking Unions as special interest groups as well as some other things.

That all said, I will vote for a Democrat over any damn Republican. If I have to hold my nose with both hands and write with a pencil in my teeth I’ll vote Democratic in November. I just would like to be voting for this time instead of against.

“The Iraqi government announced its decision to diminish the ration-card allocation to Iraqi citizens in the coming year, on account of what it called budgetary insufficiency to provide the food-assistance which serves over 60% of Iraqis.

The Trade Minister said [only] five commodities will be distributed, namely sugar, flour, rice, milk, and cooking-oil. The ministry had asked for a budget of $7 billion for distribution of the 10 basic commodities, but all they were allocated was $3 billion. He said the ministry will continue distributing its existing stores of [the other five commodities that have normally been included in these rations, including] lentils, chickpeas and soap, but it won’t be able to buy any more of these. The Minister noted that over 60% of Iraqis have a basic reliance on these food-rations.”

While we spend two or three billion dollars a week on the war, sixty percent of Iraqis will have the food rations they depend on cut in half for a year for lack of four billion dollars.

The problem is not getting me to discuss things, the problem is to get me to shut up. I am a old lady with a big mouth and an interest in seeing my 7 granddaughters inherit a world that is at least as good as the one I knew and somewhat better than the medieval world the rich, the greedy and the foolish would inflict on us all.

I support candidates based on what I think they can and will do for the country. I do not get tingly or run after “Rock Star” candidates. I stopped doing that a short time after puberty. See, I told you it was hard to shut me up.
