I appreciate your bringing Mr Horace Pippin to my attention. Sometimes I wonder why I’m not already aware of some of these people. I guess univ studies were not focused in the direction… but still, that’s been a while…?

StreetKid’s “Medicare (D)isaster” catch phrase has now hit the big time. Georgia10 at Big Orange has appropriated it.
I like how that went. I bet you’re great at the work you do!
I don’t think that she meant to actually steal it, but it didn’t seem fair for Street Kid not to get some kind of acknowledgement. And I actually DO think it’s a good sign if other people start picking it up.
I agree! I just thought you went about it rather nicely.
I’m nice once a week. Today’s the day.
Thanks. Was over there earlier and I had the exact same thought! (Especially since I earlier wrote a diary re: Canadian rx’s.) Glad that it is getting picked up–disaster is the one way to descirbe it
At least I made her admit she got it from you and tell everyone to read your work.
Thanks for that. The thing is that people just aren’t paying attention to Medicare D(isaster) people are being hurt by it, and it will be an issue for those running in the mid-terms.
oh, and you’ll notice that I didn’t tell them you weren’t a man. didn’t want to blow your cover (if you have one). Although I find it interesting that people at dKos think you are a man. Like a woman couldn’t do such good work?
Like a woman couldn’t do such good work?
Guessing that some know that I am a woman and some don’t.
Thanks again.
One happy alum.
Gators are going to the Big Dance and I’m hoping for an all-SEC championship with the Gators trouncing the Tigers for the third straight time this season.
I’m worried about Eman and her daughters in Iraq.
I’m proud of my family for rallying with me Friday and they want to go AGAIN next Friday. Kids are coming with me Tuesday for a “vigil” outside of a recruiters office in Portland. It’s my first counter-recruitment activity.
We were joking, sorta, about how our photos were probably taken Friday… and my husband stated, “Bullshit, they have photos, files and videotaoe of us all”. Coming from a counter-terrorists dude… it made my knees shake a bit.
How the hell else can we all go on without humor?
But on the other hand, IMO we must assume that those of us who are street activists will be photographed, and have files.
I know for fact I had a file once a few decades back. I expect it’s been reopened, and so I act accordingly, (nonviolence is my motto).
Hey Baby 🙂
It’s getting really scary out there on the “street”… We had 19 people hauled off by Homeland security in Portland due to a sit in at Wyden’s office.
But it’s making more and more people get out on the streets. 🙂
speaking of humor – I’m liberally drinking now and going to catch a Monty Python flick.
Where the Buffalo Roam (1980). That’ll lighten things up a tad.
I’m also thinking about “going in” and protesting against Condi Rice when she’s in town this next Sunday.
Talk about high prob arrest… This is Rice – this could be high prob of disaapearing for protestors.
Another reason to stand up, I guess.
I can’t think of a better person to be the object of your attention.
Crap! She won’t be there after all…
Cantwell and Biden.
We do need to protest Rice. Big time.

that Bush’s numbers will keep going down, and she’ll jump ship and take the NFL Commissioner’s job. A nice, innocuous figurehead position, under the thumb of the owners…she’d be perfect…
Now if we could just figure out how to ditch Bettman and get someone new in the NHL…
Not sure if anyone here has seen this, but the NYT has not gone on record regarding the minutes and it’s damning: Bush Was Set on Path to War, Memo by British Adviser Says (saw at Americablog).
That should read now — not not.
Putin accused of plagiarism by researchers at the Brookings Institute. Sure seems to be a popular pastime of the Right leaning crowd

Interesing last paragraph from the article:
I dj’ed a wedding yesterday that turned out to be a nine hour gig. It was in a ballroom on the second floor of a hotel and all the carts were unavailable at the end so I had to lug all my equipment down the stairs. I guess that makes up for my missing the gym on Wednesday and Friday.
