Did I hear something about a wedding?
I saw a great tweet earlier today:
“i honestly don’t care about a wedding where I wasn’t invited and doesn’t have an open bar.”
My sentiments exactly.
In fact, I got a kick out of the website of the Guardian in the UK. Today’s homepage is of course dominated by news and photos of the royal wedding, but the Guardian offers a convenient button labeled “Republicans click here,” Republicans in the British context meaning those who oppose the monarchy.
Click it, and poof! — you get a homepage with absolutely no mention of the Windsor-Mountbatten/Middleton ceremony. Like it never even happened.
Clearly, though, hundreds of millions if not billions don’t share my attitude. The confluence of princess fantasies, wedding porn, the lingering grip of the British Empire on the public imagination and a celebrity culture ensures it became a much-watched media extravaganza.
Given all that, I sifted through my memory banks for an appropriate song to kick off the evening’s festivities, and only one came to mind.
(Oh, and by the way, I’ve never been able to remember which of the two British princes was which. But after seeing some of today’s photos, I now have a mnemonic device: “One of them’s Harry. The other one isn’t.” Given his growing bald spot, then-King William might be asking President Trump for a few combover tips a few years from now.)

Don’t know what you are talking about in mass. I live in fla. Sorry but I reject the current version of the republican party completely. Does that mean I’m rabidly for the democratic party? Absolutely not. I really don’t have a choice here, the repubs started off this new millenium with a surplus and proceeded to squander it. The world was brought to the brink of collapse in 08. Now all these state governors that are republican want to finish the job and destroy the middle class once and for all. Those remaining will be the new serfs cheering on corporations because they have a job but no standard of living. That will be the result if the repubs get their way. Not to mention a nation of old timers with the worst health care in the world. A bleak future indeed, if the repubs get their way.

OK, Mick, time to put your logic cap on.
Census Bureau says that the percentage of poor people in the U.S. hasn’t changed statistically in the past 30 years (up or down a couple of points all the time).
Most libs claim that the middle class is shrinking. OK, let’s agree that it is.
If the poor haven’t increased and the middle class is shrinking, where did they go?
The only direction is up.
So, why do libs have a problem with people bettering themselves?

Valerie Plame is a liar. Plain and simple. Her own testimony and her own book prove it. End of story.
On March 16, 2007, Valerie Plame addressed this question in sworn testimony to Congress: “I did not recommend him. I did not suggest him. There was no nepotism involved. I did not have the authority…. It’s been borne out in the testimony during the Libby trial, and I can tell you that it just doesn’t square with the facts”. She then explains that while discussing the alleged Niger yellowcake inquiry by Vice President Cheney with an “upset” co-worker, “someone passed by — another officer heard this…And he suggested, ‘Well why don’t we send Joe?’…We went to my branch chief, or supervisor. My colleague suggested this idea…he (supervisor) asked me to draft a quick e-mail to the chief of our Counterproliferation Division, letting him know that this was — might happen.” She claims that she was not involved in recommending or sending him because an unknown Officer who “passed by” had “suggested” her husband to her first. Plame clearly states that recommendations, introductions, e-mails and promotion of this trip she put forth were not from her, they were from “someone” who “passed by”.[41][42][43]
In response to Plame’s testimony, Republican Senators Kit Bond, Orrin Hatch, Richard Burr submitted additional views to the Senate report that stated “Mrs. Wilson told the CIA Inspector General that she suggested her husband for the trip, she told our committee staff that she could not remember whether she did or her boss did, and told the House Committee, emphatically, that she did not suggest him.”[44] Also in the additional views is the full text of an e-mail message sent by Plame on February 12, 2002 to the Directorate of Operations at CPD, in which she writes that Joe Wilson “may be in a position to assist” the CIA’s inquiries into the Niger reports.[45]
In a review of Plame’s memoir, Fair Game: My Life as a Spy, My Betrayal by the White House, Alan Cooperman writes for the Washington Post that “by her own account, Valerie Wilson neither came up with the idea [of sending Joe Wilson to Niger] nor approved it. But she did participate in the process and flogged her husband’s credentials.” Plame writes in her book that Joe Wilson was “too upset to listen” to her explanations after learning years later about the February 12, 2002 email she had sent up the chain of command outlining his credentials.[46]

We do not believe Americans and most of Europe understand the impact of the European banking crisis. The meeting in Athens next week to restructure Greek debt probably will trigger a EU-wide banking crisis, which we have been warning about for the past two years. We do not see Greeks, Irish or Portuguese living in poverty for the next 50 years just to make sure the bankers get their money back, which the bankers created out of thin air. Greek debt to GDP is 150% and no country has ever survived such debt. There has to be default. In the wings Ireland, Portugal and Spain are watching intently to see which way they should fall. On the other side of the debate Germans and Finns do not want to spend one more euro on this problem. Let them default and leave the euro. They should have never been in the euro in the first place. The EU is fighting with Ireland as well over corporate taxation. If Ireland losses that advantage they’ll go back to growing potatoes. Greek Parliament will not accept more austerity, Ireland may walk away from bailing out the banks and Portugal may just give up and default. Next week will be an exciting one that may change Europe forever.
Both the European, eurozone, and US banking systems are insolvent and nothing can be done to save them. Both systems have to default. That is why we say sooner or later a meeting will be held where all currencies will be devalued and revalued and there would be a multilateral default and debt settlement. It would also be an opportune time to implement a new world reserve currency or indexed trading unit, which in order to be acceptable would have to contain a 25% gold backing, which would force other currencies to adopt gold baking as well. The new setting for an official gold price would be at a level 4 to 5 times today’s levels. Incidentally, it has been found historically that a bimetallic standard does not work.
In this process European countries would return to their own central bank structures and the US could eliminate the Fed and return to constitutional money. No more slush funds and TARP for the favorite few elitists corporations. The great orgy of theft from the American people for the past 100 years would be over. Then it would be time for the show trials where the guilty would go to jail and all their family’s wealth confiscated. Those who committed treason would be hung. Corporate welfare for the rich would come to an end and their control of Congress would end as lobbying and campaign contributions would become part of history. Derivatives and other uncollateralized vehicles would be settled and eliminated permanently from the financial scene. The crime syndicate that had controlled our nation would have been destroyed and disbanded.

Attorney General John Ashcroft referred the matter to the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Special Counsel, directed by Patrick Fitzgerald, who convened a grand jury. The CIA leak grand jury investigation did not result in the indictment or conviction of anyone for any crime in connection with the leak itself. However, Libby was indicted on one count of obstruction of justice, one count of perjury, and three counts making false statements to the grand jury and federal investigators on October 28, 2005. Libby resigned hours after the indictment.
Mick,
Do you understand the above words? Nobody was indicted or convicted for the leak itself. Libby was convicted of obstruction, perjury, etc. but not for the leak itself.
The Wilsons also brought a civil law suit against Libby, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, and Richard Armitage, in Wilson v. Cheney.[26][27] On July 19, 2007, Wilson v. Cheney was dismissed in United States District Court for the District of Columbia.[28] On behalf of the Wilsons, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed an appeal of the U.S. District Court’s decision the following day.[29]
The civil suit was dismissed on July 19, 2007. In dismissing the suit, United States District Judge John D. Bates states: But there can be no serious dispute that the act of rebutting public criticism, such as that levied by Mr. Wilson against the Bush Administration’s handling of prewar foreign intelligence, by speaking with members of the press is within the scope of defendants’ duties as high-level Executive Branch officials. Thus, the alleged tortious conduct, namely the disclosure of Mrs. Wilson’s status as a covert operative, was incidental to the kind of conduct that defendants were employed to perform.[30]
Boo hoo. Just as the Doom stated. Much ado about nada. READ THAT LAST SENTENCE FROM THE JUDGE VERY SLOWLY SO THAT YOU WILL UNDERSTAND!
The Doom speaks and now its all over but the shouting.

Roughly 2,000 students have to decide by Sunday whether to accept a spot at Harvard. Here’s some advice: Forget Harvard. If you want to earn big bucks and retire young, you’re better off becoming a California prison guard.
The job might not sound glamorous, but a brochure from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitations boasts that it “has been called ‘the greatest entry-level job in California’—and for good reason. Our officers earn a great salary, and a retirement package you just can’t find in private industry. We even pay you to attend our academy.” That’s right—instead of paying more than $200,000 to attend Harvard, you could earn $3,050 a month at cadet academy.
It gets better.

It dawned on me last night that w/o the huge deficit spending we would be in a depression.
Something the GOP doesn’t want you to know: Bush’s stiimulus (deficit) has been 3 times more than Obama’s over the last 2 years.
Maybe it would be best to bite the bullet and NOT raise the debt ceiling. Wouldn’t that force the administration to brng ALL the troops home and get rid of the non-essential federal workforce? Many of them would be eligible for retirement and SS. Obsolete weapons’ systems could also be retired immediately. The tax changes enacted during the Bush administration could be moved back up to expire next year. We smiply must increase revenue or the interest on the debt is going to consume every new tax dollar generated by growth. For it to work corporate America would have to step up to the plate and put us back to work.

Our President Bush’s deficit over the last two-plus years is zip.
Obozo proposes $1.5 trillion deficits every year and added nearly $900 billion to President Bush’s last deficit in the 2009 budget with his slush fund for public employee unions (sometimes laughingly referred to as his “stimulus”). Obozo could have reduced the deficit in 2009 spending if he wanted to, but instead he decided to explode the deficit even though the recession ended in June 2009.

Hey, @@! Saw the funniest line about Princess Beatice’s hat from the wedding. When someone on the blog asked where you can get a hat like that, a blogger replied:
You can get a hat like that at Chuck E Cheese. The guy comes to your table and makes one out of long balloons”

After watching the Royal Wedding, it seem lady’s hats are coming back in fasion. The bad news is that many of them must have been designed by gay men who hate women and want them to look as ridiculous as possible.

It’s even funnier that a W receptacle is making fun of what I say because you and W had 8 long years to implement ANYTHING in Ryan’s plan, yet all you and W gave the USA was Enron, Iraq, and the housing bubble… no I take it back, there’s nothing funny at all about the flaming bag of poo that you and W left on the country’s doorstep…

After reading getalifes 3:20 from yesterday, I have determined he would make an excellent Nazi. He seems to subscribe to the old “Believe as we do or we want you gone” way of things. What happened to all that open-mindedness you liberals are susposed to possess getalife?

How soon you forget. Donald Trump, before he was “a con” was pretty damn liberal.
Donald Trump:
1) “I probably identify more as Democrat.”
–Interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, March 2004
2) “I’ve been around for a long time. And it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans.”
–Interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, March 2004
3) “Nancy — you’re the best. Congrats. Donald.”
–Handwritten note to Speaker Nancy Pelosi, January 2007
4) “Bush is probably the worst president in the history of the United States.”
–Interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, March 2007
Petitions by Change.org|Start a Petition »
5) “I’m totally pro-choice.”
–Interview with Fox News Sunday, October 1999
6) “I want to see the abortion issue removed from politics. I believe it is a personal decision that should be left to the women and their doctors.”
–Remarks to reporters, December 1999
7) “I’m very liberal when it comes to health care. I believe in universal health care.”
–Interview with CNN’s Larry King, October 1999.
–Writing in his book, The America We Deserve, January 2000
9) “By imposing a one-time 14.25 percent net-worth tax on the richest individuals and trusts, we can put America on sound financial footing for the next century.”
–Writing in his book, The America We Deserve, January 2000
10) “I think he [Obama] has a chance to go down as a great president.”
–Interview with NY1, November 2008
He’s not going to run.
He’s just having fun.
At this stage of the game, it’s his moxie that has people listening.
