I haven't heard. Has Alan Greenspan immolated himself out of shame yet?
Hopefully, Barack Obama won't relive Gary Hart's 1984 New Jersey nightmare in Pennsylvania:
In late May and early June 1984, Hart was locked in a tight New Jersey primary contest he had to win to deny Mondale a first-ballot nomination at the Democratic convention the following month. At a California fundraiser eerily reminiscent of Obama's this week, Hart and his wife Lee spoke with reporters at a Los Angeles event. In one moment of carelessness, Hart, too, struck a nerve with voters in a critical state. As Time recalled:
In a classic campaign boner, he exposed his sarcastic side at a fund raiser in Los Angeles. The "bad news," he told a well-heeled audience standing on the lawn of a Bel Air mansion, is that he has to campaign apart from his wife Lee. "The good news for her is that she campaigns in California while I campaign in New Jersey." When Mrs. Hart interjected, "I got to hold a koala bear," Hart sniggered, "I won't tell you what I got to hold: samples from a toxic-waste dump."
Hart went from closing fast on Mondale in the Garden State to a decisive 15 point blowout a week later. Mondale went on to sew up the Democratic nomination thanks to the delegates he swept in New Jersey. The rest, as they say, is history.

ONLY KRUGMAN GOES THERE: Just yesterday, speaking with a friend, we marveled about the way the press corps dropped the late Trina Bachtel’s story—after her story stopped serving their interests. Bachtel is the young Ohio woman who died, a few years ago, in another insurance horror story. Last week, the press corps was all over her story—and then, it was dropped like a rock.
This morning, the Times’ Paul Krugman re-explores Bachtel’s story. But then, Krugman is the only person at our biggest news orgs who will go where this story leads us.

And I am not clutching pearls, I am just wondering at people's sensibilities. Truly this fight has gone on beyond all reason. All of those involved now have to ask themselves why.
Again, I am trying to make this non-specific. The last few weeks have not been kind to Clinton Campaign. If they were hoping for a watershed moment and for support to being moving their way it has not happened. In fact it appears just the opposite has occurred. Still they persist looking for that one moment that will blow up in the other guy's face. And they cannot find one, they will invent one no matter how silly it makes them look.
This is not helpful to the party or to the people whose support they need.

Let me qualify my comment by first saying that I plan to vote for his awesomeness on April 22,
I think alot of people look at that 2004 blue and red map and think in order to win, the candidate has to take the election in Florida, Ohio, maybe Virginia, maybe Colorado. And they don't necessarily think Obama will win in those states.
shhh. Atrios is asleep.

Sallyh - I don't think I could survive the low 20s anymore. California has thinned my blood.

It's a choice between a collective ass which is only moderately chapped, and one which is lost altogether.
Uncle Blodge, my kid stressed and still stresses me, but what helps me cope is knowing she's BETTER THAN ME.
She deserves my time, love, and patience. When I'm gone she'll still be around, and she should have the love and respect that most of us still think we deserve, though we mostly don't.
Kids are better and more important that us.

Glen Greenwald's gonna be at my bookstore Wednesday signing books. I may juggle dancing w the witches to get him to sign his new book for me.
Yeah, you bein so goddessy and all! Taint fair.

I have never been to the Taint Fair... what should I bring?

Ah. I see the confusion! That is Echidne, the goddess. I'm the other one.
Echidne
Hunh.
How iz we s'posed to tell u apart?
Yeah, you bein so goddessy and all! Taint fair.
Who ever said that goddesses are fair, hmh?
Night, all
Peace.
(I am sorry I just really think it is time to stop this stupid shit and start a unified attack on McSame and his inane ideas and the people who support him. Enough is enough. Obama did not say anything that did not need saying and to see my friends try to say he did is sad. Very sad)
I think Cameron Diaz is channel Pamela Oshry on SNL.

Yup. Robin Morgan didn't write "Goodbye to All That" to the right; she wrote it to the left.
The choreography in the video reminds me of Mark Morris on an especially playful day.
I like Broken Social Scene. Never was aware of this song, though.
flory,

Mister X, I'm hanging in. Not my best day, but not my worst, either.
I have never been to the Taint Fair... what should I bring?

Dunno, but my bookstore has sign up saying that he'll be there Wednesday.

Unless she has accused you falsely 70x7 times, forgiving her once. Is. Quite. Sufficient.
Ugh. I go to the NYT and see the BHO has apologized for "bitter."

CNN:
"“You know, my dad took me out behind the cottage that my grandfather built on a little lake called Lake Winola outside of Scranton and taught me how to shoot when I was a little girl,” she said.
“You know, some people now continue to teach their children and their grandchildren. It’s part of culture. It’s part of a way of life. People enjoy hunting and shooting because it’s an important part of who they are. Not because they are bitter.”"
Oh, and New Jersey is considering privatizing its toll roads.

I think this is right. Honestly, I don't think SNL wants to hate women, it's just easier that way.

Clarinet = hardest. Scale is odd because of the physics of the shape. The sax was formed to get around that difficulty.

Doh! Screwed up that date tonight. Got the wrong time written down in the day planner and totally stood her up by accident. Oh well. Weird thing is she seems to want me more now that I profusely apologized and accepted full responsibility.
The good news is that I get to spend the rest of the evening with you fine folks instead of getting physical contact with another human.

Yeah, or at least explain what you're on about.
Elias was here during the 2004 election as Jeremiah Elias and then, after having his ass handed to him, showed up as Satre for a while. Longed for the Dem party to get over "silly social issues like abortion so it could focus on real economic issues." Didn't appreciate being told that if you can't control your biological destiny you can't take advantage of economic opportunity. Then announced that he was moving to Greece, where his family was supposedly from and things were supposedly much, much better. He's as big a jerk now as he was then

Sally, are things okay with you?
it was fun today, another Orange and Blue Day. at least a third of the crowd was kids under 12, the stadium going full blast, students free and everybody else $5.
dr. phil was smart enough to sit with his kids (and Tom) on the alumni side, so the sun was on our backs when we finally got there. Tim and I got in on a 2-for1 coupon from the city-owned utility that came in this week's bill. last year that setting sun really killed you on the east (student) side, so the 10 yeard line, right next to the Gameday booth, was perfect.

There's a great documentary about the Theramin and its inventor, called, I believe, "Theramin."

Fixed.
I'm going to say this once. Elias, I forgive you for this:
I was a Nader supporter.
But now you're traipsing down a path that won't do anything but distract from a Democratic presidency commencing in 2009. You're also pissing off a bunch of people here in the bargain. In short, you're doing the same god damned thing you did in 2000 and 2004. Your petty personal issues aside, what exactly do you think you're doing here? You want adult dialog, then stop acting like a petulant adolescent. I'm quite sure I'll get your usual diss, after which you will join annie, shoe, mimi, toby, luby, etc. in my personal greasemonkey phantom zone.

the hardest instrument I have ever tried to play was the violin. I mean to take it up seriously one of these days, because I live at Fiddler Ground Zero.
I can't get much out of a harmonica or an accordion, either. Pretty much everything else I've tried to play has worked out.
A few years ago I saw a guy playing one of these. I don't know whether it would be easier or harder than a hurdy-gurdy.
Alto sax is easier than tenor. Less air to move. Voice is prolly the hardest instrument. No where to hide.
Oh boy. They were right.

Saw a wounderful African musican named Toumani Diabete playing one of these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kor...ra_(instrument)
in Boston recently. Damned if I know how he made musical notes come out of it, but he's a virtuoso.
I pawned my trumpet before I got on a plane in 1976, bought a new one ten years later - my daughter has it.

This is Varttina with some "joiku" in it. It's the old technique of the Lapps in singing. The guy does it.
The song is all about being a beggar and having to keep on moving on without a home.
C is C on any instrument, not E-flat.
Kinda, but if you finger a C (ring finger left hand octave key optional) on an E flat alto sax and blow, and someone else (or yourself perhaps if your last name is Kirk) fingers a C (ring finger left hand octave key optional) on a B flat tenor sax and blow, and you strike the C key on a piano, we will hear three different pitches - a chord daresay, with a challenging shimmery dissonance.

I think they are quite bitter and I also think they have every reason to be bitter.
I also think it's time for Obama to give a great big speech on poverty in America.
He can point out how many people who most Americans think of as "middle class" are actually quietly filing for food stamps and frequenting food banks these days.
"I didn't say it as well as I could have," Obama (D-Ill.) told a crowd in Muncie. Later, in an interview with a North Carolina newspaper, he said, "Obviously, if I worded things in a way that made people offended, I deeply regret that."

Hillary will still be trying to lobby superdelegates on January 20th during Obama's inauguration.
Hillary is a bitter ender. That is just her nature. She will not give up and she will fight this all the way to the floor of the convention. All these calls for her to step aside are just motivation for her to keep on campaigning.
"And what about the idea of the honest broker who goes to the two candidates and helps push one or the other of them off to the side?" Stahl asked.
"Yeah, kind of a modern Boss Tweed," Gore remarked.
"Except his name would be Al Gore," Stahl said.
"Well, I'm not applying for the job of broker," Gore replied, laughing.

actually saw the news this morning that Elton John is coming to town.
You should go see him wearing a "Fuck Yeah I'm a sexist!! t-shirt.
heh. I may steal that.
Steal away.

Thanks to you, I locked lips with the lovely Stella.
Just stopping by to ask - does this Speedo LZR Racer swimsuit make me look fat?
i bet elton john sucks now.
By trying to diagnose what is wrong with the Rust Belt middle class, Obama reveals a shockingly cartoonish understanding of white people - in its own way as ignorant as Reverend Wright’s clownish demonizations of whites. This is an Obama out of touch with regular folks, speaking in disparaging tones about people who take their religion seriously or have an abiding love of the outdoors represented by their owning a firearm (hunting being a second religion in Pennsylvania). It was a dumbfounding moment, showing a candidate who views about half of America as victims of their own bitter frustrations.
Obama later issued a “clarifying statement” after his campaign tried to plead ignorance about what he said:
“Senator Obama has said many times in this campaign that Americans are understandably upset with their leaders in Washington for saying anything to win elections while failing to stand up to the special interests and fight for an economic agenda that will bring jobs and opportunity back to struggling communities. And if John McCain wants a debate about who’s out of touch with the American people, we can start by talking about the tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans that he once said offended his conscience but now wants to make permanent,”
Trying to shift the focus to McCain is a weak move. He did not address what has everyone up in arms - the disconnect between Obama on the stump who would never denigrate working people as he did, and the Obama talking to liberal elitists - apparently like himself - explaining his understanding of how the rubes live and what’s wrong with them.
This revelation has a chance to do more damage to his candidacy than 10 Reverend Wrights. It is doubtful that Obama could find a venue to give a speech trying to explain the naked elitism he revealed in just a few sentences to a group of mega rich contributors. Even if he did give a speech, what could he say? Just about anything he came up with would sound even more condescending.
You should go see him wearing a "Fuck Yeah I'm a sexist!! t-shirt.

Aren't Gays mysogonistic? (sp)
I mean, they don't like women?
Or is there more to this language thing than I'm aware of?
And one centaur.
What part of "sexy, witty, whipsmart" did not cover centaurs?
hey troll, hes not earl anthony either. and he likes orange juice.
Oh, well.
It's only a beeeelion pounds.
Jesus fuck.

Yeah. The investigation was deep sixed by Blair on national security grounds. The top judges said that was bullshit.
The politicians, both Labour and Tory though not LibDem, are trying to pass the law that says national security is what politicians say it is and judges need to shut the fuck up.
national security theater like patriotism theater are the last refuges of scoundrels.
i bet elton john sucks now.
Why?
most gays i know seem to like women. not sexually, but as friends.

And he's had more contact with real unscreened people in the last week than GDumbya has in 7+ years of presidency.

Ummmm.
I dunno. I don't consider myself (or most centaurs) particularly sexy.
Hey, I wonder if a patronus charm would get rid of Clinton? I'd be willing to learn to conjure one.
I saw the youtube of Obama talking to people in Terre Haute, Indiana, explaining about the bitter middle class, and by God he had those people on their feet and cheering. I was awestruck. If he can get Terre freakin' Haute on their feet for him, a black Democrat from Chicago, well hell, there's nothing can stop him.
Amazing. Terre freakin' Haute on their feet and cheering for Barack Obama.
The 'pukes think they can reanimate the corpse of Nixon's southern strategy. Good luck. Archie Bunker is dead. Lou Dobbs is dead, he's just too stupid to lay down.
maybe the republicans will develop a fake grass roots group of people that hate orange juice and love bowling -- hi my name is delbert smoot, and im a regular type person, and obama seems irregular to me. he just doesnt bowl right.
i think few pop musicians age well.
I saw him live at Dodger Stadium in '74. That's the way I'll always remember him. I didn't even like him before I saw him -- I just wanted to be with the woman I was with that night.

What???
No freaking loyalty oaths?
That's downright un-Amerikan!
Mrs. Clinton suggested that Mr. Obama saw religious commitment, hunting and concern about immigration as emotional responses to economic strain rather than as deeply embedded values.
“I grew up in a church-going family, a family that believed in the importance of living out and expressing our faith,” she said at a rally in Indianapolis. “The people of faith I know don’t ‘cling to’ religion because they’re bitter. People embrace faith not because they are materially poor, but because they are spiritually rich.”...

“It could mean he’s rendered himself unelectable,” Mr. Saunders said. “This is a perfect example of why Democrats lose elections.”

It occurs to me that Elton John has been rich as shit for a really long time too.
I dunno. I don't consider myself (or most centaurs) particularly sexy.
Right said, Fred, but presumably some do or how would we ever get little centaurs?
yeah, but maybe he needs money now. i cringe when the rolling stones sing "i cant get no satisfaction". its hard to be a teen nihilist when your 60.

I can think of a lot of things I should have paid more attention to back in the day.
Gov. Edward G. Rendell of Pennsylvania, who is Mrs. Clinton’s most prominent supporter in that state, said Mr. Obama should not have implied that rural voters were clinging to their guns as a way of dealing with their frustrations.
“People in rural Pennsylvania don’t turn to guns and religion as an escape,” Mr. Rendell said. “Hunting and sportsmanship are long-established traditions here, and people of faith founded the commonwealth and continue to live here. What the senator has done is essentially misread what is actually happening in Pennsylvania.”
Haloscan is making me bitter.
Never mind that he's won the primaries.

fourlegsgood, sychic intuitive | Homepage | 04.13.08 - 2:30 am
I don't think it's the Clintons that hate democracy, since it wasn't Clinton saying that would render him unelectable.
Just some random it looks like that the NY Times (or wire service) found in Indianapolis.
and let's face it when the shit starts to hit the fans the Republican playbook is God, guns, and gays.
Sadly that didn't happen at Eschacon Far East '08.

Yes, but on the other hand, neither of us were seduced by Grendel's mother.
eltons johns best years came when he was paired with bernie taupin. they split up for awhile--are the collaborating again?
We close our eyes and think of England.
Now that's a damn shame. Besides, I would have thought the rallying cry would be "Remember the Mane!"
BTW, if you're in California, the SPCA is mounting a campaign in support of an anti-dog fighting measure in the state legislature.
Quentin you left out a line from that CBS/Gore piece.
"Well, I'm not applying for the job of broker," Gore replied, laughing.
Quentin is "clinging" to the idea that Clinton will get the nomination.
Clinton has given up on the idea of actually winning the primaries. But she doesn't care- she thinks she knows better than the rest of us and is hell bent of imposing her will on the rest of us.
Besides, I would have thought the rallying cry would be "Remember the Mane!"
JeffCO
Mane?
Did a horse or lion get a haircut?
Man, leave for a minute and ya miss so much in the MAINEstream
yeah speaking of not letting go, clinton is a prime example.
are the collaborating again?
For some time now.
I saw Elton about ten years ago - had to go at the last minute with a friend's husband who couldn't drive at the time. I really wasn't looking forward to it, but I was pleasantly surprised.
Never mind that he's won the primaries.
Or that this is only the latest in a long line of long forgotten things that were going to "bury Obama."

So after getting handed his ass by either Obama or Hillary, does McCain give up his Senate seat and retire (and then his wife divorces him as a philandering has-been).
I really tried to be an alcoholic. I just couldn't do it. Serious.

When estrous time rolls around they refer to it as centaurl heating.

I hope he uses this as an excuse to give a major speech on poverty issues.
Someone here said a few months ago (I think it was pie) "I don't care about poverty issues."
I was quite literally shocked. (this was the day after Edwards withdrew)

my main worry about President Obama is that he is going to be too forgiving of republican excesses. it's an admirable character trait, but it just doesnt work with extremists.

When I saw him, one of the things that impressed me the most was that he was really there with (and for) his audience. He wasn't just watching the clock and doing his time onstage.
The Coast Guard dispatched two of its 41-foot utility boats about 5:18 p.m., joining three nearby vessels that sailed over to help after flames and smoke were spotted pouring from the 43-foot pleasure yacht named No Worries.

:::Yesterday's summary described reports of Bandar going to see Jonathan Powell, Blair's chief of staff. He is said to have told him and the British ambassador, Sherard Cowper-Cowles, that he would ensure Saudi intelligence links were cut unless he and his family were kept out of the case.
Bandar then flew to Paris and engaged in ostentatious negotiations with the French to buy a new batch of fighter jets - the contract BAE itself was after.
As the judge pointed out yesterday, Bandar was suspected of complicity with BAE, the target of the investigation.
He admits he received from BAE a present of a new Airbus commercial airliner, and payments totalling £1bn into his US account, although he says they were not improper.:::

you guys got a republican governor up there?
The government argued at the tribunal that there was no 'internal armed conflict' in Iraq as defined by the directive. And Home Office lawyers successfully argued the general risks to the refugee in the test case - a man known as KH - were not sufficient for him to be granted protection.
The tribunal ruling has wide implications for Iraqi asylum seekers. It stated: 'Neither civilians in Iraq generally, nor civilians even in provinces and cities worst affected by the armed conflict, can show they face a "serious and individual threat" to their "life or person"... merely by virtue of being civilians.'
Are these people fucking mad?

When I was 20 I dreamed of dying in a swamp in Vietnam. I had that dream for an entire year.
"Hunting" my ass .... what self-respecting hunter would do something like that?

Before my time up here, but when they built the pipeline in the '70s, there were plenty of Lousiana and Texas oil guys who moved up here, and just saw unlimited killing fields.
Some stayed, many actually, and their mindset that if they kill more wolves, then there will be more moose to eat won't go away.
Really? I can't imagine any Democrat at this point being against a 50 state strategy.
Really. HIllary Clinton, Terry McAuliffe and their crowd spring to mind.
They mock the 50 state strategy.
Troutski, I think a lot of us had that dream.

What morons.
Who eats moose anyway?
(wolves generally eat the very young and very old and also mice)

The Alaska Railroad kills on average, 3 moose a day.

What isn't hemmoraged too bad goes to the closest village.
It sucks though, the train kills more moose then the hunters do, and yet, killing wolves will do some good that I just don't understand.
I know, lets get PETA to blow up trains? Naw, that's not good either.
The bottom line with me, wow, I have a bottom line... killing one species in greater quantiteis to increase the hunt numbers of another is just silly.(read as STUPID)
If our fish and game guys here don't start looking at Oregon and California with their Salmon, and do what is commonly called learning, and transpose those numbers onto how them killing seals didn't increase fish...
Grrrr.

I'll save you the trouble, Brian. After the dog tried to eat your testicles and spat them out in disgust, they were eaten by the rabbit living in your next door neighbor's yard. They're gone forever. No wonder Janet hates you.

I've never described myself as "progressive," Brian. I'm rather ordinary. But at least I have my own testicles. I'm not stuck in a dead-end job selling furniture in Cincinnati. And my wife doesn't hate me.
Squishy: just like self-styled "progressives" feel about the USA--they feel so squishy about everything--like America defending itself from Islamo-terrorists
I'll tell you one think I don't feel the least bit squishy about- that's shooting trolls into the sun.

You're making even less sense than usual, Brian. I guess that's a side effect of being a castrato.

Brian is about as likely to enlist as Toby is.

By the time this primary is over, not only will she NOT be the nominee, but her political career will be damaged forever.

This thread filed away as another example of the unhinged anger directed at commenters/trolls that are easily ignored. You choose to engage them and then when they dare to upset you, you act entitled to cross questionable ethical lines.You outed the guy once, and most in here in fact didn't approve of that kind of action, and now you continue to publish his name and make backhanded comments about how he makes a living and the state of his marriage. All completely inappropriate.
You Go, Howie Nutball!!

Morning Ruth.
hi, ql.
Quiet, isn't it?
we're inundated with this Business is the Public Interest mentality; "America needs workers. With the economy slowing, it's more important than ever to get employers the workers they need so that they can prime the business pump again."
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp...l?
tid=informbox
hello, how about paying the ones you've got and training the ones you need?
Morning, ladies.
Ruth, the Microsoft and other high tech jobs for which they're looking outside the US workforce is high skills for less $.
I was on a project team where all of us were 'older' (as in 50-62) and all contractors. I remarked on it and one of the women told me that we were too expensive to hire as employees.
'are' high skills. Sheesh.
Jeffraham Prestonian was a benefits-free "temp" at Vanderbilt U for a very long time before his job became actual.
Hi, Margaret, yep - the underemployed and underpaid sector is huge. Contractors don't have to be 'noticed' to be let go, and don't get bennies either.
Hi, plantsman, all my young sprouts are under wraps this a.m., it's also going to freeze in places tonight.
Wolcott has a nice one about Bette Davis. Lord I loved that woman.
I almost feel sad for Target, but if they're not gonna notice I have no interests in women's clothes, why should I do their homework for them?
Yesterday, when I walked outside I noticed that for the first time this calendar year it felt "not cold". I luxuriated in it, because the grey and rain are due back today.
No notice -- that's the truth. I went in one Monday morning to discover that a project had been defunded. The team was disbanded.
Contractors associated with certain 'job shops' can purchase insurance through the shop but it isn't provided.
It's my experience (contracting for 14+ years) that when there is work, the money is good.
It's 36F and raining in Chicago. My bones and joints don't like it.
Chicago! I have to go sometime when I have enough time to visit the Frank Lloyd Wright museum. have done Sears tower, what a sight.
It's really a nice city. Along with the giant skyscrapers are some beautiful, old buildings that have been rehabbed to their original beauty.
I live in a town outside of the city where there are several FLW houses. The museum is in Oak Park, I think; a short distance north of me.
Sun is rising over New York City..
Damm, that's a bright red sun.
Just wonder, isn't anyone aware that in the depression workers were relocated from markets where there were no jobs to the farms where there were plenty? Also,it seems just so basic and so obvious to me that all this 'Merkins won't do the work' assumes that they all can pop into cars and drive where jobs are?
CoT, the air here yesterday was that incredibly bright, clear, sort, just amazing.
CoT- way too early for you to be up.
DE is funny in that it is right on the edge of the gulf stream. So on Thursday when three solid days of rain was predicted, it just never came. We had a few showers but it's been warm and humid and sunny.
ql, DE doesn't get a lot of hurricanes either, does it?

I now have C. Matthews on my teebee, more troll poop there. McCain being promoted for his war.
64% of 'swing voters' think McCain policies will be like w
'the Maverick thing' - Matthews saying core group afraid mccain being taken over by right.
Bobo, About access not ideology.
Romney as McCain's running mate would be a big sop to the right -- a worrisome sop to the folks who got us here.
clarence Page, he's pulling it off by strenght of personality, 'straight talker' arrrrggghhhh
that's it, can't stand it anymore.
hey peeps
I think with all the crap coming out about the FLDS Romney's chances of snagging the veep spot are about nil.
Apparently, Huggy Bear is gonna take it to areas where Republicans aren't too popular, like poor barrios, Appalachia, black inner-city neighborhoods.
Ruth,
Read The Grapes of Wrath. They weren't shipped off to new markets, they loaded up their meager possesions and whole families went in search of work. And working on those farms was no treat either and the farm owners treated them the same way that migrants are treated now. Whole families living in one room shacks. Everyone from very young children to very old men and women were forced to work from sunup to sundown and were often paid by weight in script that could only be used at the stores that the farmers owned so they often ended up owing more than they made. It was enslavement.
ql, that looks like enuff to swamp the Mormons in a lotta ways, but they're totally rejected by the church itself. sadly, reports are that there are 4 who could be the original 'Sarah', pregnant at 16 by 50 yr old child abusers.
'the Maverick thing' - Matthews saying core group afraid mccain being taken over by right.
McCain remains the saddest prisoner of war. He has become a prisoner of wars.

plantsman,
----------------------------
well hopefully he has learned from Obama's mistake and will tell the poor people how great they have it and how they should vote for him to keep their lives so blissful.
'Apparently, Huggy Bear is gonna take it to areas where Republicans aren't too popular, like poor barrios, Appalachia, black inner-city neighborhoods.'
Good idea. I hope it is always late at night and he's naked.
foolme1ns, there were also CCC camps, that taught skills like growing crops, canning, sewing, both my parents were trainers in MS CCC camps
those Okies did it on their own, it was kinda like being illeguls
Huggy naked? TMI!
also, migrant workers on the Eastern Shore used to be brought in by agents for the agri industries, housed in shacks without running water or indoor plumbing, sent back after the picking and canning was over.
I don't mind if Huggy is naked in the Bario or the Hood. He supported the torture program dint he? And all the rest? Good for goose and gander ya know.
I heard that people who did their own food gardens, canning, sewing were less effected by the great depression.
If you grow your own veggies, hunt your own meat, you aren't likely to starve.
Every weekend, Huggy retires to the ranchette in Sedona. When the tough stuff comes, will he be ready?
those Okies did it on their own, it was kinda like being illeguls
Ruth
----------------------------
there is something so inherently wrong in that statement. When was it ever illegal for any American citizen to move across the country on their own to try to find work? Why would it be wrong for any American to try to better his own situation without government help???
Mom's mother used to set pies to cool out on the porch rail. In the worst of the Depression, guys would steal them off the rail.
Sedona? What a tough life!

Ruth
----------------------
Yes I know, and I'm not so sure that it isn't still going on today.
Unless the were illegally riding the rails which a lot were. Poor sods.
Okies and Arkies were widely seen as economic interlopers by many Californians of the time -- the severe stresses set Americans against each other.
Why would it be wrong for any American to try to better his own situation without government help???
foolme1ns
not that it's wrong, but that they were regarded that way by the growers.
and I wouldn't be surprised if E.S. does still have gangs brought in for picking season. I don't live there now, tho.
Hope someone with keys shows up soon.
They tried to close California off to peeps outside the state.
If it weren't for all the fun wars, the Depression would be the biggest story in American history.
I heard that people who did their own food gardens, canning, sewing were less effected by the great depression.
---------------------------
The poor people in the south were less effected, because they didn't have anything to begin with, so they didn't lose as much, and they had been growing their own food and making their own clothing for generations. It's just what you did to survive.
The poor in the dust bowl suffered more because they could no longer grow crops because the land wouldn't support them. They were hit by the depression and weather changes.
Can't talk about bad stuff in murika.
I remember the 50's in NTX, dust blew in for days, even collected inside the house thru the cracks.
They tried to close California off to peeps outside the state.

plantsman,
not Murca, no, but Business Uber alles.

Ruth
-------------------
She may try to, but I think enough people understand that "free trade" has not been so free and it has cost a lot of Americans good jobs in exchange for cheap Chinese shiny stuff.
I think on "free trade" Americans may actually be waking up.
