Poison

One more thing to get exorcised about.  BP just leaked millions of gallons of oil off the coast of Louisiana after fighting for years to deregulate their industry.  

Well, what do I want out of this?  Health and joy.  Gag.  Not even sure how to register this in my brain.  The animals and any life in the way of this spill are poisoned, being poisoned as I write.  Shit.

At least BP's stock price is taking a hit.  If we're lucky, some of those clowns go to prison and BP ceases to exist. 

Gag, gag, gag.  I have to do something physical, back later.

Mai ji sa ze nen

Been afraid for so long that it is strangely liberating to just say, "It's a good day to die."  This is some kind of native american stereotype, I'm sure, but today I choose to become active somehow.  Pain, poverty and death seem more real everyday, without taking any risks, so what am I afraid of?

Deep down, the fear is being replaced by a sense of what I want for myself, what I want for everyone else, yes, that old saw - - PEACE, dammit, Peace.

Done

Levin hearing comment: Be funnier if they flashed pics of these guy's houses, cars, watches, suits, restaurant and flight tabs as they testify. Levin rocks. lol!

As funny as it was to watch the GS smirking at Levin it was depressing to understand how far away we are in getting a bill out of the senate.  The only way to reconcile being a citizen of this country is to get involved in such a way that I take back a measure of my power, my understanding of fairness and economy and do it here and on twitter first and foremost.  

Any kind of self espression that will crowd out the cries of rage and helplessness that I want to let out in pure madness at what we have had to live through since our world was invaded.  This kind of rage has been killing my spirit and my family is dying around me, so it is necessary for me to find another way.

Even if it kills me, it has to be towards peace and equality, it being my self expression, in league with others, hopefully, but not dependent on them.  I have to be dependent on only myself.  If death is sooner rather than later because of it, hell, yes, I'm scared but today I'm done hanging back, done, done, done.

"Socialize" my thoughts!?

Birnbaum is amazingly smug.  He is trying so hard not to laugh at Tester's questions.  He is not so great at socializing his thoughts at this hearing.  Tester is going to rip gs mainly because of him  

Sparks is dancing his ass off.  He is effectively saying,  "There were suckers who wanted this risk, give me a break, here!"  He is an under-liar.

So maddening that most of us have trouble making our bills and don't know how to do taxes half the time and these guys get paid billions for being dollar hogs.

CSPAN rocks

Always have to acknowledge good tv when it's there.  The idiots from wall street are having to fight smugness while evading questions AND condescending to the politicians in front of a SENATE committee meeting and millions of people watching!  It's even more hilarious to watch these young, reckless, dollar-slaves try to justify themselves (in such indignant tones, yet), and now the freakin' republican is getting irritated!  Not looking good for the moneyslaves.

Comments

I make comments sometimes because there is no other way sometimes.  

Politico article on teabagger failure:
There is room for a third and fourth party in this country, but there will be a price to pay in terms of political sanity, especially since we do not have good information nor a decent press.  Remember, ala the supremes, it's "People" vs. "Corporation/People" now and the teabag types are getting the press that is owned by the corporation types and we all wonder why.  Maybe teabaggers aren't doing so well because they aren't really People, but Corporate stooges, otherwise why would your rag or the wapo/nyt rag cover them?  My logic is unassailable.

BTW, where was the MSM when there were millions of us marching against the Iraq war?  THAT was a movement but instead, you wanted a war, so thanks, myopic media, for NOT giving us OUR teabag coverage when it could have made all the difference in the world.  Makes you think Corporation people want actual People to die in unfunded wars in which Corporations make money without paying taxes.

Yes, both parties are corrupt or ineffective and something is going to change although I doubt that even amurkins are stupid enough to go with an (R) again.  I'm trying to forget that we barely lived through 43 for two stolen terms so look out (D)'s, look out world, we MIGHT be that stupid again but I sincerely hope not.

We would be wise to plan for anarchy as the last, best scenario because that indicates intelligent involvement by the citizenry while at the moment, small nut job teabagger groups are meant to represent all of us that are fed up with the sick society we have built in what could have been the best Union on earth.  Teabaggers DO NOT represent all the discontent and revolutionary fervor stirring up out here, THAT I know.

Tipping point

the timing is based on some cost equation?  i am a consumer but for now, the tipping point is death.  everything short of that, including the gross unfairness of it all, i have to let it ALL be itself.  Letting it be is a song that does not mean being afraid or giving up.  i will battle fear until i'm faced with my Last Breath but right now i head to the hospital for a visit with a grand daughter, Jeannette, who is taking her time healing and she's only 14.  No tipping point here, she is just taking her time.

i have to stop watching bloomberg.  less tv and more cspan, ay?  We have to have a public option or our People die even more so than usual.  Not sure if our birth rate can keep up, not sure if it matters.

My tipping point is getting close, how about you?

If you pray, think of Jeannette Jim today.
