TGIF day MFG!
Dang…
How is CA treating you today, Janz?
Please inform me…does this mean another possible pickup by the dems like DE and CO in 2010?
Ras
Mitt 47%
UnicornJesus 45%
UnicornJesus best start packing his shiit he’ll be going away soon…
5 – yes, it is possible. Race probably moves to tossup or slight lean R with Mourdock.
I would guess we retain the seat david but I’m not an IN specialist
Well, fuuck Lugar then
He “grew in office” voters got piissed , he’s out on the street so be it
“Where do 340000 workers go to? Were they abducted by aliens?”
**********************************
Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of thousands have discovered that they can go on SS disability (mental/emotion reasons) and get government money and not have to continue to seek employment. Hard for government to disapprove these claims (not that the government wourld really want to).
Same thing happened some years back with alcoholics and drug addicts. They are “disabled”.
“Qe 3! $20 for a loaf of bread and they will tell us there is no inflation.”

How much is it for a 5 pound sack of sugar these days? Oh, I forgot, the %# is now a 4# bag…
8..its totally different from Deleware (STAND UP CHUCK), as COD had NO CHANCE against senator-for-life Coons. Indiana is a question of reasonable risk. Do you want to get rid of a moderate like Lugar for a conservative, but run the risk of a close race? Or stick with Lugar and endure his votes for another six years.
MFG
CA is a ticking time bomb, financially, being the worst state for business, per the usual. Other than that, all is fine. How about Louisana, MFG?
Doctors are sympathetic to these people as well Walt so they are very willing to verify these claims
Immaterial now DW
Lugar is done lets drag Dockmour over the line now
Bunny money…..
” Mellon was so enamored of Edwards that she made sure that her personal lawyer was unaware of her under the table donations, which formed the bulk of the hush fund meant to keep the presence of his mistress Rielle Hunter a secret.
In addition to the $725,000 meant for Edwards personal needs, Mellon donated another $6 million to his political action committee and non-profit organization.
Edwards is charged with violating campaign finance laws by using nearly $1 million from wealthy donors to hide his pregnant girlfriend. He could face up to 30 years in prison if convicted.
The checks, which became known as “Bunny money” to those involved in the cover up, were disguised as payments for furniture.
“It gave her something to look forward to,” Huffman told the court. “The campaign gave her a wonderful focus and something to really hold onto.”
When asked if Mellon was aware there was a $4,600 legal limit on campaign donations, Huffman replied, “She thought it was a little low.”
At the time of the donations Edwards was fighting for the Democratic nomination against Barack Obama and then-Sen. Hillary Clinton, who Mellon referred to as “the old rag” or “ol’ raggy.”
The checks would arrive sporadically with notes attached to hide their purpose, Hufffman said
The notes pretended the money was for dining room chairs, a book case, or an “antique Charleston table.”
“One note said she was paying me back for money I had bet on a horse. She was having fun with this,” Huffman testified. “It was called the furniture business.”
IN isn’t a RINO preserve like MA, ME, and DE.
Therefore hunt away. I also would like to have a younger replacement now, so that we aren’t having to replace Lugar during a DEM upswing.
I have this disorder that causes me to want to constantly want to hike along the oceanfront looking for whelk shells instead of going to work. Can I get gov’t money now to live on until I overcome my disability?
Things are fine here Janz
Bobby Jindal has really turned this place around from being a national laughingstock
Unemployment lower than the national average, unions wrecked here, things are going well
And the weather is California-like today, 72 and beautiful
I gusss I was wrong about Mourdock. I thought he couldn’t win without changing his name to Dockmore.
Btw, isn’t Moordock redundant?
DW I met a prospective client once who was training for the Olympics as a cyclist
He was on disability
I was stunned
Most doctors will vouch for anyone claiming disability and if you are disabled for a time as this guy was (terrible car wreck which DID disable him for two years) there is no mechanism to remove you from the rolls when you recover
Why do you always post the Rasmussen numbers backwards, Mr. Parakeet? Could it be your bias? Obama is LEADING, not Romney.
If Lugar loses the MSM will have non-stop pieces about how the moderates are all losing and only extremists win in the GOP. The talking heads already have the talking points.
RCP has an article about how Obama will run against the GOP and Romney will run against Obama.

Uhhh
I just got the email from Rasmussen showing Mitt 47%-45%
Indiana has Mike Pence beating his Dem rival for gov by $millions of dollars and about 15 pts. Mourdock will be carried over the finish line in the fall by a very strong GOP ticket from Governor to state reps and steta senators to its strong U.S. rep lineup. Indiana is after all a GOP state and Hoosiers are very very upset with Obama.
Uhhhh
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows President Obama earning 47% of the vote and Mitt Romney attracting 45%. Three percent (3%) would vote for a third party candidate, while four percent (4%) are undecided.

Boy, Elizabeth Warren’s campaign is in a death spiral.
Time for Jensen to crank up a rescue poll.
I posted this in the thread below, but wanted to post it again here:
http://www.shadowstats.com/alternate_data/unemployment-charts
Obama’s thumb is clearly on the scale…only since 2009 has the alternate (real) unemployment number shown a different (up in this case) trajectory from the “official” Obama numbers. Always before the trajectory was the same on each of the three lines.
Copy and paste from the email I just got from him:
Trench Warfare Won’t Resolve Anything in This Year’s Elections: A Commentary By Scott Rasmussen
One hundred years ago, the European powers were hurtling down a path leading to World War I. Trench warfare became the dominant image of that war, as both sides dug in and the battle lines barely moved. Many called it the “War to End All Wars,” but in the end it merely set the stage for World War II. Read More

My wife’s brother died about 8 years ago. He was an alcoholic for at least 35 years. After HS, he served 4 yr stint in air force working on B-52 or some such.
Afterward, worked various jobs and had severe drinking problem. Skilled heating and air conditioning guy. Great guy when sober. But he would go on months long benders. Marriage ruined, business ruined, his whole life. In and out of VA treatment about 6 times.
Was on SS disability for about last 8 or 10 years of his life. I think it was $600+ dollars per month which met his needs.
#20 MFG
Jindal is a grounded leader. You’re lucky to have that kind of governor. Hey, if you ever want to do an exchange — Brown for Jindal — I’m up for that!
As for MA, it looks like Warren’s campaign is in trouble: democrats worried about Warren in MA. It couldn’t happen to a more deserving person, should her whole campaign simply implode on her lies and hubris.
Don’t I know it Walt
My whole family has been devastated by alcoholism and drug abuse
I personally don’t believe it is either an illness or a disability but wiser (supposedly)heads than I disagree…
hubby just had his interview with mississippi
did not go very well
i am not sure how i feel about that.
mississippi seems more civilized than arkansas
Hopefully “Lies Like A Rug” will lose to Brown in MA, Janz
Good luck with Moonbeam v2
Maybe one day CA will wake up…?!?!
You’d be happier in MS than AR
“My whole family has been devastated by alcoholism and drug abuse”
there is definitely a huge genetic component
it may be also genetic/psychological.
many people self-medicate to treat depression/psychosis.
there is ample evidence that marijuana use is HIGHLY correlated with psychosis.
i am sure everyone knew “burnouts” in high school who smoked pot and everyone “knew” they would never amount to anything.
it turns out there is a small but significant part of the population who are devastated by marijuana use. they become psychotic with even a few doses
The Fiscal cliff Cometh
Economists are rightly starting to warn that the United States faces a worrisome “fiscal cliff” at year’s end. The blunt spending cuts mandated by the 2011 compromise on the debt ceiling — and the failure of the “super committee” that followed — along with across-the-board tax increases would derail the U.S. recovery and undermine the well-being of the global economy. We should be avoiding the edge of this cliff — and politicians should not believe that they have until the end of this year to act.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/congress-shouldnt-delay-in-addressing-the-fiscal-cliff/2012/05/03/gIQAx3F0zT_print.html
“You’d be happier in MS than AR”
i would think so
however, the people in arkansas were nicer to him. we will find out soon.
arkansas pays more too, surprisingly.
The son of a friend of mine had a psychotic episode last year due to smoking synthetic marijuana it was scarey
“the failure of the “super committee” that followed — along with across-the-board tax increases would derail the U.S. recovery and undermine the well-being of the global economy.”
at some point the choice becomes either much higher taxes
or
printing money
or
both
(i mean more printing than now)
The possible genetic component is why I don’t drink or take drugs of any kind other than caffeine (which is a hard one to break!)
” smoking synthetic marijuana it was scarey”
it could be what was in it
or
just that he was naturally susceptible, and it pushed him off the cliff
MFG — I truly think the only way out for CA is to declare bankruptcy, so they can restructure their pensions, debt etc. Other than that, this state has too many people with their hands out to voluntarily vote someone in with fiscal tough love in mind.

Here’s a column from last month that is worth the read —-> Who is this guy pretending to be president?
I’m not surprised on MS pay not a lot of money there
43
I think it was both Wahkeena
the people who push legalization of pot
ignore those people who get crushed by the drug
for say 95% of the population it is not devastating
for the whitney houstons of the world, it is crushing
#38 That was a pretty strong piece posted by the Washington Post, Susy!
“I’m not surprised on MS pay not a lot of money there”
there is in arkansas?
i think they plan to give most of it to my husband so he can support me to the level i plan on becoming accustomed too
Look, all of us have known people who smoke lots of dope and we all know the word for people like that: “useless”
The shortest book in the world is “Successful People Who Smoke Lots Of Dope”
warren has run a horrible campaign
she actually said that western massachusetts was not landlocked like the rest of the state …
look at a map lady
“The shortest book in the world is “Successful People Who Smoke Lots Of Dope””
actually that is hard to say
rolling stones
the beatles
fiona apple
every rap artist
lady gaga
etc.
certainly most people are not crushed by the drug
but some are
Not to give you advice Wahkeena but this economy could be getting ready to enter into a monumental shiitstorm soon, your hubby would be well advised to get his employment situation clarified ASAP…
Tim V smokes pot
he is also bi-polar
that is not a surprise
DOW is reacting to the awesome UE rate drop by…having the stocks tumble down
“Not to give you advice Wahkeena but this economy could be getting ready to enter into a monumental shiitstorm soon, your hubby would be well advised to get his employment situation clarified ASAP…”
the internet would shut down if he stopped working
as long as people like porn, he will have a job
(he is a cisco engineer)
Marijuana wrecks ambition
Without ambition, what are you?
actually no surprise on unemployment
i expect it will drop every month until november
“Without ambition, what are you?”
a rap star?
Losses accelerating
Ten year down to 1.88%…
Everyone with money is not successful

We did all we could for decades in going the extra mile (but not enable brother-in-law) and trying to provide help and get him on his feet.

I have one of my own who I love deeply who struggles with addiction problems. He works and puts in a lot of overtime, but often points out that so many of his “friends” are on disablility, don’t work and seem lots happier than he is.
It is one of the biggest problems our nation faces and we struggle to find real solutions with long term good results. We pray fervently and continually for victory over addictions.
i am not defending pot
i am simply pointing out that for most users it does not destroy their lives
it may or may not hurt. who knows what the beatles would have produced without drugs
but pot DOES destroy a small percentage of people who take it.
Even Yahoo couldn’t tolerate Daniel Gross’ lies anymore
The new headline is:

lololol
I think marijuana is injurious to almost everyone who uses it, some much less than others of course
People need to learn to FACE LIFE rather than get fuucked up

35 Celebrities Who Smoke Pot
http://jezebel.com/5144624/35-celebrities-who-smoke-pot
lisab, i used to smoke pot but quit.
“I think marijuana is injurious to almost everyone who uses it”
that is hard to prove
which is not to say it is not true.
if you have a genetic per-disposition to psychosis
you are certainly playing russian roulette by smoking pot. there is ample evidence supporting that.
Honestly, Walt you reach the point where you realize nothing can be done
Someone very very close to me is completely off the cliff marijuana, ecstasy, LSD, drugs I don’t even recognize the names of hospitalizations run ins with the law drug dealing etc
I have finally come to peace with I did everything I can and now whatever happens will happen and its not my fault
So I’m going to be donating a small sum of money to both the Romney and Walker campaigns. I don’t have much to give, but Walker especially needs help.
I’m for the legalization of Marijuana. If someone wants to get high and enjoy it, thats fine.
If someone wants to fukk up their life, well there’s nothing I can do to stop them.
A taxable commodity that will also help reduce the prison population
This is both priceless and sad:Welcome to left-wing bizarro world.
Coakley 2.0 is really a prize isn’t she Janz?
Mourdock will win Indiana and the Republicans will take the senate.

I thought the area around Hot Springs, Ark. was a neat place. It has been 20+ years though since I was there (on a westward vacation by car) when our boys were young.
You can also go out to dig for diamonds and other gems at Crater of Diamonds state park there. Also pretty country around Ft. Smith (?) in NW part of state.
I believe there is also some Big Foot sightings in AK, so take precautions if you move there.
There are people who are simply more susceptible to addictions than others. IMO, there is a huge genetic component involved, which makes the risk factor of taking drugs a game of Russian Roulette (you really can’t predetermine the side effects or grasp of addiction until you participate), as well as involving some kind of personal calculation if you are aware of a family history of addiction.
#73 Warren is even a bigger dud than Coakley. Brown’s chances have radically increased in being reelected, IMO.
If Warren wins, expect overtly feminist policies to dominate her agenda as a senator. She won’t focus on the needs of her constituents
#71 Barrett
If you leagalize marijuana, it will give more of carte blanche, than there already is, for teens to smoke it. This is where you run into trouble, especially with males, as their brains haven’t even fully developed (not until 25), and, I think it becomes more of a chronic issue when indulged in too young.
Taking drugs basically puts a break on emotional development. So, if you start at, say 13, some males aren’t able to get beyond adolescence in their maturation, unless they stop. Then there is a catch-up phrase they have to go through, all the while suffering from a delayed maturity syndrome, making it easier for them to succumb to another relapse. It becomes a vicious cycle of stopping and relapsing….
Boy is this true, Janz, I’ve noticed this:
“Taking drugs basically puts a break on emotional development. So, if you start at, say 13, some males aren’t able to get beyond adolescence in their maturation, unless they stop. Then there is a catch-up phrase they have to go through, all the while suffering from a delayed maturity syndrome, making it easier for them to succumb to another relapse.”
As you already know, MFG, I’ve been down this road with my son. There is nothing like personal experience to trump the speculation of theory.
Some people say marihuana is harmful and should stay illegal. Alcohol is harmful, should it become illegal as well?
Some say that teenagers shouldn’t smoke pot. Alcohol is legal. Should teenagers get drunk?
Some say that they don’t want someone who is stoned to drive. How about someone who is drunk?
Taking drugs or alcohol to hide from reality is bad. Having a glass of wine or beer with dinner is not bad. It’s a relaxant. So is marihuana.
Some say marihuana is a gateway drug. I would say that beer is a gateway drug.
Either we are a free people or not. Free people can make dumb choices (like voting for Democrats) but it’s still their choice. Criminalizing pot means that millions of otherwise good people are in jail and injured by that system. Criminializing pot is as foolish as criminalizing beer.
