on the matter of your stomach and obama's freeze

I'm hearing that posturing clown going on about how not progressive enough I supposedly am, and wondering if she's even yet realized what a dangerous jackass she was being....

What constitutes the food that you or your family needed?

Does spaghetti or tuna casserole every day of the week count as the food that you or your family needed?

Or does a family of four surviving on $50 a week food budget count as not having enough money for the food that you or your family needed?

You can't feed ONE person on $50 a week, not the way we all have learned we need to eat... maybe rice and beans 7/7 for a family... I barely eat anything compared to most and it costs me more than $50 a week. Maybe I could do it if I bought the nutritionless shit in the frozen section or nuke food, but even so, $50 a week does not a healthy human make in the United States of America.

I'm going to need a couple slugs of brandy before I can bear to listen, and I'm not sure I will be able to bear it even then. It's every bit as bad for me as it was with Dubya. The voice makes my stomach flop and the fight or flight instinct kick in. Hugely uncomfortable attention to evil fucks is also does not a healthy human make... anywhere....

Your photo here makes me long for Artha Farm, the organic farm some friends had back in central Wisconsin.

They had convert the summer kitchen into a sauna. Closed in the open wall and added a window and door. The heat source was an old antique Franklin Stove which had been slid into a modified 55 gallon drum. The space between the stove and drum was stuffed with rocks.

On more than one occasion they melted plastic items in there.

20 below zero - we would fill 5 gallon buckets with water and set them outside the door while we roasted inside. When we were good and sweaty we would rub down with Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap then go outside, punch the layer of ice out of the top of the bucket and pour the water over our heads. Upon re-entering the sauna we would have icicles hanging from our hair, eyebrows, beards and mustaches. Two such rounds would leave you feeling invigorated and alive!

Rolling naked in the snow upon leaving the sauna was also a popular pastime.

They tried a bathtub full of water to jump into - one of those big claw-foot ones you so desire - but someone got cut on the ice so that idea was abandoned.

The other big heat producer they had was the kiln. 1.5 cords of wood over 36 hours for one firing - most of the wood in the last few hours.

When it was up to temperature - 2,100 degrees for stoneware as I recall - blue flames six feet tall would be coming out of the top of the 12 foot high chimney.

Awesome!

We've been managing on about $100 a week - less than we pay for health insurance - go figure!

I can whip up spaghetti with meat sauce or meat balls, with canned corn on the side for about $12 - enough for 2 dinners for the four of us and 2 lunches for the younguns.

Tuna casserole $14 - same servings.

Oh God...

They just turned the TV back on - Mr. We Can Do It is at it again!

"We support clean energy jobs" ya sure - bail out the people not the banks asshole and maybe things will turn around and construction will pick up so there will be clean energy jobs!

Instead companies - good companies - are going under. Every day I hear of another estimator or project manager I've work with over the last 30 years losing their jobs as the contractors they work for shut down shop. Suppliers going out of business and on and on it goes.

Women really are the other half of the sky.

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
—John F. Kennedy

The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so.
—Ronald Reagan

Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak.
—Martin Luther King

We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. The whole department is fucked. It's the biggest cock-up ever. We're all completely fucked.
—not uttered by anyone in charge lately

Anyone calling Obama a leftist, liberal, or progressive needs to have the stupid beat out of them.
—Old Uncle Dave

As for the Taliban ... their stated grievance is the same as Gen. Washington’s in our war with the British: If you want this war to end, get out of our country.
—Pat Buchanan

Obama-era drone warfare ... in general looks like Bush-era drone warfare on steroids.
—Scott Horton

There has to be altruism in the universe.
—Frank Drake

The morons in Washington are pushing the envelope of nuclear war. The insane drive for American hegemony threatens life on earth. The American people, by accepting the lies and deceptions of “their” government, are facilitating this outcome.
—Paul Craig Roberts

I am a child of the South. Janet Napolitano tells me I need to be afraid of people who are labeled white supremacists but I was raised around white supremacists. I am not afraid of white supremacists. I am concerned about my own government. The Patriot Act did not come from the white supremacists, it came from the White House and Congress. Citizens United did not come from white supremacists, it came from the Supreme Court.
—Cynthia McKinney

No one has to "marry" anyone else politically; no one has to embrace every tenet or belief that an anti-imperialist ally might hold. You simply have to say: "All of us, regardless of our other views, believe this truth to be self-evident: dismantling the empire will bring immediate and enormous benefits to our nation and to the world."
—Chris Floyd

The power of the people on top depends on the obedience of the people below.
—Howard Zinn

...the government only starts listening to its voters once the more corrupt option turns out to be untenable.
—Matt Taibbi

· One out of seven American homeowners will probably lose their homes by the end of 2010.

· Only 4.7 percent of distressed homeowners who enrolled in the modification plan have gotten any help.

· Out of Obama's $75 billion program, only $2.3 million has been spent—or 0.03 percent.

Obama's performance on the foreclosure crisis—along with unemployment, the biggest problem America faces—makes Bush's laissez faire approach to Hurricane Katrina look caring and loving in comparison. If ever there were a cause for impeachment, look no further.
—Ted Rall

As self-appointed champions of civilisation against barbarism, they fail to see that a certain barbarism is the flipside of civilisation itself, inseparable from its smooth operation. For every cathedral, a pit of bones; for every artistic masterpiece, human wretchedness and back-breaking toil.
—Terry Eagleton

commenting kaos, sidebar krap, quotes

Here at home and throughout the world people are fighting back against the forces of wealth, privilege, and militarism — some because they have no choice, others because they would choose no other course but the one that leads to peace and justice.
—Michael Parenti
