Bruce takes us all home safely, we hope…

The first time I ever heard of Bruce Springsteen was freshman year at Penn State. Some kid from New Jersey brought up the name in a conversation, bragging that this Springsteen guy was going to be the biggest thing in rock and roll since Dylan and the Beatles.

Right, I thought. Because those Jersey guys would NEVER exaggerate, especially about Jersey things.

Then “Born to Run” came out, and they went and put the guy on the cover of Time magazine, and then on Wednesday the guy turned 60. Some other stuff may have happened in between, but I’m getting too old to remember.

(By the way, this guy shares a 9/23 birthday with Springsteen, and he’s pretty damn cool in his own right.)

Kyl: ‘I Don’t Need Maternity Care.’ Stabenow: ‘Your Mom Probably Did’

Just before the Senate Finance Committee wrapped up for the long weekend, members debated one of Sen. Jon Kyl’s (R-AZ) amendments, which would strike language defining which benefits employers are required to cover.

Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) argued that insurers must be required to cover basic maternity care. (In several states there are no such requirements.)

“I don’t need maternity care,” Kyl said. “So requiring that on my insurance policy is something that I don’t need and will make the policy more expensive.”

Stabenow interrupted: “I think your mom probably did.”

The amendment was defeated, nine to 14.

Here’s the deal. The Repubozos want to micromanage the pregnancy. But they don’t want insurance companies to pay for the care, and they are fine with throwing the baby in the dumpster after delivery.

It is easy for extremely rich musicians to be liberal AMVET. A grand in taxes to them means nothing. A grand in taxes to the average American is a burden. The real coup is that they identify themselves with “Regular” Americans and you saps fall for it. It’s easy to be liberal when you are rich.

What about Al Gore backing a company that builds hybrid cars which only the “rich” can afford (90 grand per car) and these car’s will be built in Finland? No American union jobs, just money for another Capitalistic company wanting to make money. Funny thing is, this company also just got a 500 million dollar grant from us American taxpayers to develop a car that is targeted for the rich. This global warming thing is great, isn’t it?

Fact #3 It got shut down. Kyle tried to pass it this morning and he failed and his own party member voted against him.

New York Times/CBS News poll TODAY 9/25/09

The poll suggests that Mr. Obama is in a decidedly more commanding position than Republicans on this issue as Congressional negotiations move into their final stages. Most Americans trust Mr. Obama more than Republicans to make the right decisions on the issue; 76 percent said Republicans had not even laid out a clear health care plan.

And by a lopsided margin, respondents said that Mr. Obama and not Republicans had made an effort to cross party lines and strike a deal that has the support of both parties.

At 56 percent, Mr. Obama’s job approval rating is about par for a president at this point in a first term: Reagan had a 53 percent job approval rating, while Bill Clinton was at 43 percent.

And Americans think the economy is on the mend, while there has been a 15 point increase to 36 percent in the percentage of Americans who said Mr. Obama’s stimulus package has improved the economy.

Just 30 percent said they had a favorable view of Republicans in Congress. By contrast, 47 percent said they had a favorable view of Congressional Democrats.

The poll of 1,042 adults was conducted by telephone from Saturday through Wednesday. It has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

Congress can pass legislation that permits postal layoffs and shutdown some of the 34000 postoffices. It can raise the borrowing limit for Potter to more than 3 billion. Hell we dumped hundreds of times that into the investment banks on Bush’s watch–Paulson–TARP.

Eliminate the $5 billion that Potter has to put aside for employee benefits for employees that don’t work there yet and may never be hired. That’s insane. As Nocera says “There isn’t another business in the country that finances benefits for employees it hasn’t even hired yet.”

Prefinancing benefits for future employees is just plain stupid. And it came from two Repubozo chairmen in 2006.

The amount of mail is going to continue to drop. But the post office isn’t in financial trouble because mail carriers are dumb; it’s because two powerful committee chairmen were–one that lies about death panels and is getting the crap beat out of him in his old commitee all week and next week–Grassley. Grassley wanted to run the post office like a small gravel switch town in podunk hickville Iowa. And he’s run it into the ground.

It’s official, the Republican party has just been declared a disaster.

From fat windbags like Republican party leader Rush Limbaugh, to one of the worst presidents ever, George W Bush, the party is in shambles. Sara Palin, birthers, and tea baggers, Haggard, Craig, Vitter, Sanford, Ensign, Beck. Getting totally hammered the last 2 national elections. Socialist part D Medicare. No ideas.

A disaster has been declared but its being totally ignored by those who can do something about it, party leaders. Reminds me of Katrina. The nuts in the party are being mislead. W was giving a speech the other day giving the room full of crazies a lot of false hope with his “Crazies, your doing a heck of a job,” line.

Whats needed most is a few sane conservatives to get us through this crisis. Please if you know of a good shrink we need them to man the evacuation centers where the crazy Republicans can be rounded up and tasered if necessary. If you know a birther, send him to a center asap. They need professional help. They may be carrying a gun.

TRION — The river doesn’t care. It never thinks about how long families have lived near its banks. It has no memory of children skipping stones from one brushy side to the other. It will be here when these people are gone.-Urinal

I thought we didn’t have no water?

Oh yeah, that was two years ago, I can’t keep my scare mongering straight this early in the morning.

This year we got Alabama’s water ripping out whole subdivisions and sewage treatment plants, I know, let’s send those whiny mf the bill for all this.

This is the America that I know-

Campgrounds offer more independence than homeless shelters, which often have strict rules, he said. And they let families to stay together; most shelters are segregated by sex.

Some campgrounds frown upon being seen as this type of host. Timberline is different.

Manager Tammy Page hasn’t kept count but knows the number of people moving here for economic reasons has increased in the past year. The $325 a month campsite rent includes water and electricity plus laundry facilities, showers and access to a pool.

Page keeps a small food bank in the offce and has school supplies to give children. Donated clothes are kept in the laundry room.

Social workers and volunteers from local charities frequent the site.

The Renaults, a family of six, live next to Ballard. His tent used to be their home but they passed it along when good Samaritans who read of their financial troubles in a local paper donated a small camper.-Urinal

I don’t if you need a password to see this picture but look at the camper that was donated-

Thank you, AJC, I know this was an anti capitalism hit piece whining for more government intervention, but you inadvertently showed the Hand of God, working His promise that He will always provide. Bless all of the rednecks and trash that take loving care of each other when times are tough, more than all the governmental bodies in the world would even care to do, whatever you do to the least of these you do unto me

Since they’re already there, get bin Laden first.

“Bin Laden demands Europe withdraw Afghanistan troops”

DUBAI (Reuters) – Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden demanded that European nations withdraw their troops from Afghanistan in a new audio tape aired on Friday, saying they were sacrificing men and money in an unjust U.S.-led war.

TN, I disagree. We had our one chance seven years ago and gave up for Iraq. We have no idea where Bin Ladin is now, and our best guess is Pakistan. It’s time to leave.

I might as well double tap the blog sites of the AJC liberals this morning. I went to college also and found that the boys from Jersey were pompous brag hearts that could be defined as boars. Is it any wonder that New Jersey is another Democrat controlled state that spits out gangsters, corrupt politicians, muslim extremists, and liberal college students? The “Boss” is just another liberal clown who impersonates the tough street savy singer that is not appreciative of his American fortunes. He is the first Democrat musical punk that goes out on tour during the presidential campaigns to insult Republicans, their president, and American policies. I am sure that Bookman holds the Dixie Chicks in high regard, as well.

TaxPayer- I am assuming that you are a consumer of wild eyed liberal media paranoia about capitalist greed, as witnessed here at the bookman blog on a daily basis.

Can I at least work with this assumption or is there something about you that I am not aware of?

There are two kinds of people in America, those who worry about what other people have and those who worry about what other people don’t have.

The first group, known as democrats, wants it all for themselves, see Gore, al-, Freidman, Tom, et al, etc, etc, etc.

Would you care to dispute the facts that I have proof of in multitude archived bookman columns and legion pinko media blatherings?

And then there are Conservatives, the second group, which deem responsibility to mean not only to their own but to others, and need no government entity to move them to giving freely of themselves.

I would not expect you to know these things, living in your divisive world of political paranoia and grievances, seeing white sheets and pointy hats in every unfamiliar corner.

Me, I don’t have such illnesses to deal with.

I still can’t believe the Lord used the Urinal to move me to do His Will, what a truly awesome Savior I have.
