May Day, May Day!

It’s May Day, let the games begin! The hunt is on to find a replacement for Supreme Court Justice David Souter and the neocons are digging in to prepare for the fight. With El Rusbo as the de facto head of the GOP, you know it’s going to get ugly real quick. Especially after Arlen Specter’s recent defection.

We’ll take a look at that developing story on the program tonight and will recap the other news items that caught our attention this week.

29. It's FRIDAY DU Truthseekers!
WOO HOO!!!
:toast: :woohoo: :toast:

Here's one you should read:
Escape from the Zombie Food Court
Joe Bageant recently spoke at Berea College in Berea, Kentucky, Eastern Kentucky University at Lexington, and the Adler School of Professional Psychology in Chicago, where he was invited to speak on American consciousness and what he dubbed "The American Hologram," in his book, Deer Hunting With Jesus. Here is a text version of the talks, assembled from his remarks at all three schools.

A SNIP: Given the financialization of all aspects of our culture and lives, even our so-called leisure time, it is not an exaggeration to say that true democracy is dead and a corporate financial state has now arrived. If you can get your head around that, it's not hard to see an ever merging global corporate system masquerading electronically and digitally as a nation called the United States. Or Japan for that matter. The corporation now animates us from within our very selves through management of the need hierarchy in goods and information.

Good item! :applause:

36. Hey there TN! Thanks fer askin'!
The Kwazy Wabbits are a peculiar bunch they are. I let 'em out to roam the house and in about a half hour either Dash is sitting behind the toilet and Dot is sitting in DeeJay's "penthouse" or they're all just hangin' near their "house" like nothing's new and they don't know they're FREE! (DeeJay is out all the time, but not Dot-n-Dash - gotta keep 'em separated!)

HEY I HAVE AN IDEA!

THE KENTUCKY BOURBON FESTIVAL
http://www.kybourbonfestival.com/
SEPTEMBER 15-20, 2009

If we all plan NOW we can get it together over a neat George Dickel or Wild Turkey!

I just found out an old college bud has a place in the Smokies he took over after this parents passed some years ago. He's in Cincy so he goes there every few weeks. So we got THAT going for us!

OK! WHO'S IN???
:applause:

44. White label Dickel and Turkey 101 and water?!!? Hmmmm....
Edited on Fri May-01-09 09:11 PM by tnlefty
I'm not a neat person, and used to love those bourbons, but haven't consumed them in years.

I'll have to see how it goes. Since we started paying college tuition, there's a lot that we don't do anymore. Wallet raiding kids!!!:rofl:

edited to add: the official drink for 2009 isn't for me...don't clutter up my bourbon with strawberries and orange liqueur and stuff. Fruit is for rum, I cook with Grand Marnier A LOT, so much so that my kids notice when the Grand Marnier bottle is getting low. That was difficult to explain to a neighbor who was here when we were making a grocery list. :blush: But not in my bourbon! :rofl:

We're hanging in there! Beloved Daughter's allegies are bothering her - but, no high temperature (normal temperature is what she is), so all is well.

35. Hey Maat!
I hope that she's better soon. There is so much pollen here that if any of us had allergies we'd be in big trouble. It's raining so the pollen won't come flying through the windows, so they're up and it's much more pleasant in here.

TGIF!! :hi: :hug: :toast:

37. Thanks, Tnlefty!
She's good; she gets cold-like symptoms (dealing with her pollen allergies can make her feel tired, give her a runny nose). My nurse-practitioner pal said the key was to watch for a high fever in your family. No one has any. The pollen/air has been terrible out here in SoCal.

41. The middle child looked like hell this morning, climbed into my bed
(I was doing the usual watching c-span) and he said that he was aching all over, he was coughing and I had an 'oh f*^k' thought. His temp. never got above 100.8 which is low for them if they're really getting sick, but he's perked up and fever free. Whew.

43. Whew!
Yeah, she said the fever has to be around 103 (or above) to mandate a 'go.'

Just her two cents' worth.

I think that routine colds & allegy-misery are going around, and that's making parents nuts.

Hang in there.

We're all going to live long lives.

59. Our standard with the pediatrician after mine were past
6 mos. was a fever of 103 would be seen in the office that day or sent through the ER with a call. Mine had a tendency to go from a slight fever to 105 within a hour or so, which freaked the pediatrician and those in the group out. Putting them in the tub and giving them ibuprofen when it became available over the counter would get them back down to 103, so we made many trips to the office or the ER late at night. They are like me, their regular temp. is below 98.6, but they've calmed down and don't spike those high fevers from out of no where anymore.

Considering that I've already lived longer than I ever thought that I would as a teenager, I think I'm doing pretty good. :evilgrin:

64. You and my neighbor are both very brave ...
if my kid ever spiked a 105, I'd drop dead.

But, like in your case, ibuprofen is the best for our family.

Take care.

61. I can't stand much more awareness of the myriad of torture techniques that were used.
I have an M.A. in Psychology (and was in social work for years). To me, sleep deprivation, which makes a person psychotic within 48 to 72 hours, is torture.

Quoting:
Mitchell advised that suspects must be treated like dogs in a cage. "It's like an experiment, when you apply electric shocks to a caged dog, after a while, he's so diminished, he can't resist."

Plus, my friend went on a fact-finding trip with Cindy Sheehan and Tom Hayden in 2006, and heard about a patriarch being raped in front of his whole family by U.S. contractors (Titan, now L3).

ALL OF IT needs to come out, so that it will never happen again!

62. That's horrible

Not only does it need to come out, those responsible for it need to be prosecuted.

67. Yep.
And all of these sick fucks need to be removed from society. Mike is now talking about how children were brutalized and raped. I'm pretty sure that I would admit to all types of shit that I didn't do, wouldn't think of doing, if I had a hint that my kids would be left alone.

Dr. 'Shock and Awe" is another who needs to be removed from society AFAIC, but these sick fucks seem to have free reign.

71. The very government that funnels $ to social worker agencies here ...
to help protect kids, is the government who sanctioned their torture. My friends, active social workers, are beside themselves about the whole thing. I, as a retired social worker, and as an adoptive parent who adopted a kid who had been physically abused, really grieve about what the U.S. Gov. has done to ruin children's lives.

The upper ranks of the military far too often remind me of, "they'll see the big board".

edit: a Doctor Strangelove reference

76. Yep.
And the scene where the different factions of the military were fighting against each other under the sign "Peace is our business" never ceases to get howls of laughter, and our oldest was 9 when they first watched that movie, and the youngest one laughed.

My Mom, who loves Peter Sellers (sp?) had never seen this movie, and this was back in the day when the boys still wanted to do sleepovers with Grandma, and they took that movie over one weekend, and she thought it was hilarious, but she changed her mind about a few things, too. Ah, the kids pointing out to the Mom that some of her thought processes are off track - PRICELESS! :hug:

CNN today was running scary banners about tornadoes in TN.

79. We had lightning that at one time shook the house,
and the weather radio went off a couple of times, but it's all good. We're into a steady rain which we desperately need, but the worst of what was here moved out a couple of hours ago.:hug:
