If Ralph Bailey has another show about Carter and Race.

He’ll be on our side.

Did you hear the comments on his show yesterday? I thought Ralph and his buddy were going to jump through the roof. Some of the comments were blatantly racist.

But Ralph, true to his paycheck, held in tough.

I got a feeling there won’t be many more shows like the one yesterday afternoon.

Those who oppose health reform. Your all on your own.

You certainly don’t have the support of the legitimate Small business man. Nor the Big corporations.

The health insurance industry is running these two institutions into bankruptcy.

I have no idea what you wish for. But you should start a list to add to Health Reform.

At least that way you will not be shut out of the discussion.

It’s time to step up or stay at home.

If your holding onto your High Dollar petro stocks. You want to read this.

Even though Refinery utilization went down by 1% to 86%. Supplies of Gasoline, Diesel and heating oil went up by 2.7 million barrels last week. Diesel is at a 26 year high level..

Sure Stocks of crude went down. But that is not because of a lack of crude. Nor is it because of a increase in demand of crude world wide. What it means is that Tankers are still not being off loaded to onshore.

Refiners are not buying crude. They are using stock piles of crude that they keep in reserve. When the hurricane season is over. You can expect to see a huge drop in the price of crude just like last year.

The best that speculators can hope for is for a couple of supertankers to sink to the bottom after a hurricane.

Something has to be done about the speculators. They are making a mockery of both the commodities market and the stock market. Your investments are in their hands. Prices will spike and drop when they wish them too.

Buyer beware. But Nabors nor any driller isn’t going to increase drilling in this market for a long time.

Nancy,

After condemning me for shortening Names like Alicen to Ali.

You proudly allow the follow derogatory adulterations of mine. And you know the rules. You have blasted them at me many times.

Tonyh

Nancy,

Don't worry about the Graffiti from tkrazy. Just ignore it. The rest of us do.

Dril,

tkrazy! LOL! I was thinking tkockeyeddrunk but krazy is probably more accurate.

TK continues:

In fact you offer your thanks for the posters support.

As I have said. You cut and paste and participate in ad homonym attacks. You post noting of substantive value.

Let me remind you again.

‘I don’t want to hear that he did it first.’

Nancy, Threatening to block someone does not work.

Reading The Bin Laden article  in the paper is one thing.  It would be reporting facts.

You are misusing the news. To cause hardship and difficulty for the leader of our Nation.

Your snide remark in your comments broadcast your true intention.

You could of dismissed Bin Laden as a jerk. But instead you use him as a political tool  to harm the office of the president of the United States of America.

You don't have to like Obama. You can call him names.

But you also have to recognize that he is the elected President. And he is the leader of our nation.

Just to remind you of your past.

'I don't want to hear, He did it first" 

She was standing in the kitchen, preparing our usual soft-boiled eggs and toast for breakfast, wearing only the ‘T’ shirt that she normally slept in.

As I walked in, almost awake, she turned to me and said softly,” You’ve got to make love to me this very moment!”

My eyes lit up and I thought, “I am either still dreaming or this is going to be my lucky day!”

Not wanting to lose the moment, I embraced her and then gave it my all; right there on the kitchen table.

Afterwards she said, “Thanks,” and returned to the stove, her T-shirt still around her neck.

Happy, but a little puzzled, I asked, “What was that all about?”

She explained, “The egg timer’s broken.”

Those who oppose health reform. Your all on your own.

A strange Wednesday night.

I must have an enemy somewhere.

Without Jason's knowledge. My IP address was blocked last night. Then my IP address was removed from my current list of address. So Jason could not find I had been deleted. Until I provided him with my IP address. He was then able to unblock the address.

I find the fact that the site was also raided by some vulgar individual last night, interesting.

Also my email address and password was used by 'Rick Martin' to create an account at KNZR. 

Interesting, VeRRRRy interesting.

:>)

Okay, Let’s agree not to continue to Blame Jr.

But let’s also recognize that Reaganites blamed Carter. While the truth is that Regan instructed P. Volker to raise interest rates that lead to a horrible recession. This was a purposeful recession. Not one by accident.

Will you recognize that there were 2 recessions under Reagan. There were 2 housing bubble bursts under Reagan.

There was the single greatest one day stock market loss under Reagan.

Let’s also agree that the Bushites blamed Clinton for the 2002 recession..

There where 2 recessions under Bush. A war declared by Pope Paul as a unjustified war. A war neglected in Afghanistan.

Will you recognize that the current year deficit is a result of the last Bush budget?

Will we agree that even republican leaders have dismal records. If that happens to be the perspective you choose.

Let’s agree that that is a defeatist perspective. Let’s agree to question. But recognize that there must be compromise.

What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

Since the spring low. Over 480 of the S and P 500 have gained value. Almost 200 have doubled and about 40 have tripled. Will you recognize that?

Will you recognize that the rate of job loss has declined over the past months.

You have to like those number If you’re a wall street guy.

I personally don’t care about those numbers. I want higher CD, Treasury bill and savings account interest rates. I am not a gambler. In general what is good for wall street is bad for my savings account.

But I respect the fact that current economic conditions mean that a focus must be put on wall street. (because so many now rely on it for their retirement) And in the end improvement in Wall Street will help me and my family.

My concern is that these solutions must include stronger enforcement of current regulations and new regulations that favor home grown industry. And American companies over the multinational corporations.

Companies so poorly managed that they must use taxpayer money to survive. Should be nationalized. Reinvigorated and then sold for profit.

And we must realize poorly managed companies cause their own problems. The problems are not the fault of the taxpayer, the government.

Can we agree to recognize Government is necessary. It isn’t the bad guy. It is the taxpayer.

Government isn’t Republican. It isn’t democrat. It is the will of the people. (supposed to be anyway).

Lois’s column today points out that even in this verrrrrrrrry conservative republican area. Government officials concern themselves with the wealthy and the influential. Not the electorate.

Can we agree that if we don’t effect change in our own back yards. Change will never come to the nation.

Laura Bush said it's "really important for everyone to respect the president of the United States."Obama

Obama says education is key to country's future

Bush didn't completely dismiss the concerns of some conservatives but noted that controversial Education Department plans recommending that students draft letters discussing what they can do to help Obama had been changed.

"I think there is a place for the president ... to talk to schoolchildren and encourage" them, she said. Parents should follow his example and "encourage their own children to stay in school and to study hard and to try to achieve the dream that they have."

Bush indicated that she didn't think it was fair for

to be labeled a "socialist" by critics and expressed her disappointment with the intensely polarized nature of contemporary American politics.

Part of the reason for the polarization, she said, was the increase in the number of congressional districts dominated by either strongly conservative or liberal voters.

"We've seen that for the last eight years, certainly, and we're still seeing it," she said. "That's just a fact of life."

Bush conceded that after her husband was elected president, he was unable to replicate his success as governor of Texas in reaching across the aisle to Democrats.

"He was disappointed that that was not the way it worked out in Washington," she said. "I'm sure President Obama didn't expect it to be that way [either]. ... All of us need to do what we can to come together on issues."

Despite her husband's disappointment, he is "doing very well," she said. Both of them are now working on their memoirs, she noted.

Though the former first lady criticized the excessive partisanship of Washington, she expressed gratitude for Cheney's decision to vocally defend her husband's performance.

Cheney has been outspoken in his defense of the Bush administration's national security record, which has been sharply criticized on, among other things, questions relating to the detention and interrogation of terrorist suspects.

"I think that Vice President Cheney has every right to speak out, and I appreciate that he is defending" the administration, Bush said. "I think that is important. I think there is a place for that."

Bush also said it doesn't bother her husband that Cheney's "out there being critical."

The former first lady said her husband still speaks with Cheney occasionally. Multiple sources have indicated that the two men parted ways on several issues in the last years of their administration, including Bush's refusal to offer a pardon for former top Cheney aide Lewis "Scooter" Libby.

Libby was convicted on charges of perjury, obstruction of justice and lying to investigators looking into the leak that resulted in the exposure of CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson.

Though Bush expressed confidence that her husband will ultimately be remembered as "somebody who stood for freedom and who stood for the security of our country," she admitted that she's worried about the current situation in Afghanistan.

"I'm very concerned, of course," she said.

"All of us are concerned, and everybody, as they look at Afghanistan from around the world, really hope and want to [do] whatever they can to help the government stabilize, to see that the elections were fair."

Bush said she hoped people "will redouble their efforts" to help the country fend off Taliban and al Qaeda extremists.

She also repeated her outspoken criticism of the government of Myanmar, also known by its former name of Burma, which has come under fire for imprisoning pro-democracy activist Aung San Suu Kyi.

"She's always been held under house arrest [because] they're afraid of her popularity. They think that undermines their regime," Bush said.

"I hope that they'll see what she really wants. ... She wants [the nation to have] a peaceful transition to a democracy and to have the chance for Burma to really build itself [into] a very wealthy and educated nation."

After her husband's eight controversial years in the White House, what does Bush have to say to critics who believe he had a negative, destructive influence in the world?

"I would say that that's absolutely not right," Bush said.

"I don't think they have either the right view of him or what his responsibilities are and were as president of the United States."

"I don't think they have either the right view of him or what his responsibilities are and were as president of the United States."

Laura Bush praises Obama, bemoans excessive partisanship

PARIS, France (CNN) -- Former first lady Laura Bush praised the performance of her husband's successor Monday, breaking with many Republicans in telling CNN that she thinks President Obama is doing a good job under tough circumstances.

She also criticized Washington's sharp political divide during an interview covering a range of topics including her thoughts on first lady Michelle Obama, former Vice President Dick Cheney, the situation in Afghanistan and Myanmar, and life after eight tumultuous years in the White House.

Bush sat down with CNN on Monday during a United Nations meeting in Paris, France, where she was promoting global literacy, a cause she trumpeted during her husband's administration.

The typically reserved former first lady defended Obama's decision to deliver a back-to-school speech to students, putting her at odds with many conservatives afraid that the president will use the opportunity to advance his political agenda.

"I think he is [doing a good job]," Bush said when asked to assess Obama's job performance. "I think he has got a lot on his plate, and he has tackled a lot to start with, and that has probably made it more difficult."

Michelle Obama is also "doing great," she said, in part by turning the White House into a comfortable home for her family.
