Republicans drink Kool-Aid while Americans Crash

Republican Congress , giddy with power, continue the Bush legacy-to rape this country while we little people stand by and watch our lives crash and burn.

It happened when they started the Iraqi war, Hurricane Katrina and over the past eight years as the income between the rich and the middle class dwindled.

Here we are, in the worst economic disaster in the history of our memories and their solution is tax cuts.

Who has a job to get those cuts? What middle American has money in the bank to use those cuts?

If American are unemployed, there is no money to spend.

Republicans don't understand. If we can't spend, business can't sell.

If we don't have jobs, we can't pay our mortgages, rents and credit card bills.

How long will we sit back and let them hold us hostage???

Tell them to quit drinking the Kool-Aid and pass a Stimulus Package that will put us back to work.

Political Grandstanding is destroying our country

I teach second grade. Kids tattle a lot in second grade. I have a policy.

When two students have a conflict I encourage them to work it out. They meet away from the other students and talk to each other and come back to tell me what they worked out. If the can't work it out I help them through the process. If one refuses to work it out, I make a decision.

They almost always work it out.

Why?

Because they don't have an audience watching them.

We Americans are dying out here away from the Washington elite.

Congress doesn't need a stimulus package, we do.

I consider the Republican party, as it is now, one of the most destructive forces to America.

They are so far removed from what is happening to us they will destroy our nation.

They do not represent the hard workers of this country.

They represent lobbyists, big business and the capitalist system.

It is ironic they believe if we did not have to pay social security and federal taxes we would be okay.

Who the hell has a job -with so many people unemployed -how will they get back social security and federal taxes?

The GOP sees this moment as an opportunity to show they still have power.

Guess what? We don't care about your power. Your bully pulpit is destroying our country-just like it has for the past eight years.

I have a solution.

Congress can't talk about this process anymore. No more grandstanding speeches on the Capitol steps. No more Rush Limbaugh interviews, no more scare tactics.

While we are dying on the vine, Congress has a responsibility to its constituents-that means all of us little people for once.

Don't talk. Don't say one word to us until you have a Stimulus bill worked out. No more tattling. Work it out. DO your job.

The come back to us and tell us what you think is best for our country.

Then do it.

This process is destroying us.

Worst American Culture-Limbaugh-Octuplets-

Americans thrive on the lowest common factor. I'm not sure if it is us or the media. I don't care to read about lowlife behavior so I usually skip it. I wonder, do others do that as well?
Perhaps the media might want to take a look at the falling numbers and not just attribute them to the economy. Maybe more people would pay for news if it was real and not just sensationalized.
Advertisers might have been buying their space in the good times, but that doesn't necessarily mean people were reading half the junk they print or film.

Here are a few of what I consider wasted space media frenzies right now,

Rush Limbaugh-God give us all a break. If he speaks for the Republican party they are in one sorry state. I am sure I will hear from some of those who believe in him. That is what is so scary.

Blogovich-Why are you wasting time on him? He epitomizes the corruptness of government and the stupidity of the this generation of politicians.
The lesson here-it's who you know not what you know.

The eight babies and the crazy mom. Sponsors? book deals? Why not have Ann Rule write her story, for goodness sake. Those poor babies. An obsessed woman with no common sense.

Sarah Palin-Please, no more. I beg of you. No brains. Fluff. Let's just leave her in her melting barren wasteland where she can do little harm.

McCain-(and the rest of the worthless Republicans) when they have some decent ideas, print it. Otherwise. don't print the fluff. I don't care that they don't want to be the "NO" party. I care about what they plan to do to fix this mess they made.

Michel Phelps and his Bong-isn't one day enough coverage or does he get a book deal on this one?

Former Reality Stars-What an insult to all of us. Turn TV into one big buffoonfest -glorifying what was formerly known as trailer trash behavior. And to think Jerry Springer is the grandaddy of it all.

American Idol-Is it not gone yet??? Please, I don't want to watch the judges going gray, with potbellies. Be done with it or retool it. The formula is old and stale.

Bernie Madoff- notice that smile of his in almost all of his pictures? He laughed all the way to the bank! If it is too good to be true, it isn't. His fleecing of the wealthy doesn't seem to cause him to lose one night's sleep. He represents the greed and avarice of today's culture. Let's just follow his trial and quit dragging his name into the paper everyday with some stupid article on the vase in his house. Aren't people angry enough with the banks? Let the rich agonize over Bernie-he didn't steal our 401K's-Wall Street did.

I'm sure you can think of hundreds more. Feel free to add them.

Oh! Do you think we could have less speculation and more facts about the state of the economy, CNN?

Bank of America vs. my School district

I e-mailed my payroll department today to tell them about being charged six dollars for a 53.00 check I cashed at BofA.
The district I work for is the fifth largest district in the nation.
Bank of America was adamant I pay their fee even though I mentioned the district I worked for would probably not be happy when they found out BofA was chaging school employees a fee for cashing their own checks.
I received a prompt response from the district. The contacted Bank of AMerica and told them to reimburse the district for the six dollars. They e-mailed me and told me they would send me a check.

I had cashed my checks at this BofA before and had never been charged six dollars.
Bank of America could care less when you are one person standing in line.
They did however apologize and return the money to the district.
Thanks to my school district for dealing with the matter.
For about five minutes I felt empowered!
It is a wonderful feeling to be vindicated.

Bank of America charges me to cash their check..

I work for the fifth largest school district in the nation and our payroll checks are cut through Bank of America.
The district also uses them for disbursement of expense checks such as mileage.

I went into the bank to cash my check and I was charged 6.00 for a 52.00 check written for THEIR bank.
They told me since I do not have an account with them I can't cash THEIR check without paying them.

Since when do banks have the right to charge people who come to the bank to cash their own checks?

This has gone too far.
They charged more than if I went to a check cashing business.

Bank of America has become arrogant and greedy.

PRES. OBAMA-WE WANT THE BILL PASSSED

We want this bill passed. No more messing with it by the Republicans.
NO TAX cuts to the wealthy
.
Why is Congress not listening to us?
Each day thousands of people are losing jobs.
This is NOT partisan politics.
You had your chance, Republicans.
President Obama,
Congress,
Pass this bill-do not mess with it to the point of failure.
Please??

Irresponsibility of the Las Vegas Review Journal

Help yourself to the Review Journal-on-line of course. Don't spend a penny to purchase it.

This is one of the most dangerous men in the state of Nevada next to our poor, unqualified, sadly clueless gov. gibbons.(The man who proposed cutting education 45% to balance the budget, refusing to insist business and mining pay their share of taxes.

For the past six months(well, probably five years) venomously more recently his mission to break any organization that appears to organize. Teachers, police, firefighters, state workers-

in a dangerous and irresponsible manner.

Today he targets the former Henderson Police chief in a manner that could put the man in danger.

The frightening manner in which his irresponsible reporting reveals itself is the targeting of those that Sarah Palin had so much success with-those crazy, ignorant, not necessarily political angry men.

And he gets them going. The reporting just keep jacking up the anger level and the comments become more dangerous.

His recent report on the danger and terrible behaviors of democrats at the Presidential inauguration is frightening and inciteful.

I would not be surprised if he goes too far and the FBI shows up at his door.

Free speech is one thing but when one starts writing in a manner that sound like a white supremest, we need to take caution.

This newspaper is starting to worry me.
