Dogged days of summer.
Author: Raine
Date: 07/27/2009 12:39:05
An interesting thing happened on the way to August recess. Once upon a time, congresscitters liked going on the August vacation. Hell once upon a time (back before 2006) our congresscritters has to work in DC a grueling 3 days a week. But this is not that once upon a time.
Over the weekend we learned that Nancy Pelosi was preparing to not recess the House of Representatives. Then we heard that Harry Reid would, and those glorious plans came apart. There would be no working through the August recess to get Health Care Reform Passed. Elected officials breathed a sigh of relief. They would get a government paid vacation!
Well guess what? They are leaving the comfort of the Beltway. It's not really a vacation, it is a recess. It is time for them to come back home to the states and districts they represent. In many cases, these are districts and states with very disgruntled constituents. There will be town hall meetings, people calling, people standing outside offices for a chance to talk with their representatives. I don't think this will exactly be a vacation for them. They are coming home to be dogged about a major issue in this country.
On one side, we have a huge movement in this country to get Health Care Reform enacted. Too many of our elected officials don't seem to understand how critical that issue really is. They will be coming home and will be forced to face this truly important issue. It is up to you and I to make our voices heard to our elected officials. It up to the people to show what the faces of the un & underinsured really look like. They need to hear the stories and be given the facts about Health Care Reform..
On the other side, and this perhaps is more sad than it is funny, they will be coming home to the face of the birther movement. A loud vocal group of insane nutbags have chosen to use precious time and money for THIS issue. Make no mistake -- they, like the Teabaggers, have made enough noise and raised enough fear to cause a distraction. This is coming back to bite the GOP in the arse. It will make it harder for us to get them to focus on Health Care Reform. Maybe the GOP likes that -- who knows.
So, I suspect that most of these congresscritters are not really looking forward to the Dog Days of Summer. I wonder, who would they would rather listen too? Screaming Birthers & Teabaggers or people who want to have a serious, sober & grown up conversation about Health Care Reform? I suspect the latter. Health Care Reform activists might be a sight for sore eyes after the Birthing Teabaggers. Don't let the wack jobs distract from the work that has to be done.

“I believe it is a serious concern and I hope that each and every decent American comes to town hall meetings with a video camera and demands action,” she wrote.
Having seen his colleague Castle come under attack, Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-Mich.) is taking no chances.
“Before I got back to Michigan before the break, we’ll go through it, so that we’re versed in it,” Hoekstra said recently. “Just like anything else, if you see a hot issue ... it’s sort of like, ‘Let me go take a look at this and see what the status is.’”
Hoekstra believes there’s no “compelling case” questioning Obama’s origins. But after talking to Castle about his town hall, he knows that he’d better be ready with an answer.
So, I suspect that most of these congresscritters are not really looking forward to the Dog Days of Summer. I wonder, who would they would rather listen too? Screaming Birthers & Teabaggers or people who want to have a serious, sober & grown up conversation about Health Care Reform? I suspect the latter.

Morning, comrades!
Well....since I lost my vacation time and money earlier this year, we're not going anywhere in 2009.
But your loyal TriSec loves to plan, so I'm already looking at 2010.
On the list of possible things....heading Downcape, getting a cabin up in the mountains (of NH, VT, or NY) or the one that intrigues me most....touring Civil war sites through the Shenandoah valley and hitting the Skyline Drive.
What say you, Virginia delegation? Where does one stay in and around the ol' Skyline?
(I've already looked at the I-81 corridor, but avoiding a chain on the interstate would be much better.)
Of course, maybe we could all have a commune and rent a big ol, 7-bedroom house somewhere on the Jersey shore and have a big party for the week.

Not sure, don't get out to the Skyline Drive area very often - I did just go up to WV this week end - Harper's Ferry was really nice area - stayed at a slightly quirky Quality Hotel that over looked a flea market though

Inhofe Does it again. Poor Faye.... Regarding the Birthers:
Sen. Jim Inhofe has also tried to find the elusive middle ground.
“They have a point,” he said of the birthers. “I don’t discourage it. ... But I’m going to pursue defeating [Obama] on things that I think are very destructive to America.”

Day 5 of Sports Talk Held Hostage.. And I've had enough of the crap. Here's my letter to VP/GM Tim Murphy:
I am a daily listener to your station during my afternoon commute - the Big Show gang are fantastic, knowledgeable and entertaining. I also sometimes listen to the D&C morning show for sports segments & stuff I might have missed the night before, but the moment they start doing opinionated nonsense and annoying political rants I immediately change the station because they make me literally sick; I usually tune back later for some actual sports talk.
For the past five days, they have not talked about sports AT ALL. Every time I've tuned in, which has been several times from 6:30-9AM each day. AN ENTIRE WORK WEEK. I am sure I'm not the only one who is sick of hearing nothing but the insane know-nothing Rush Limbaugh-wannabe rantings of sports talk VJs. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who is fed up with it either. I suggest you have a chat with the two morning dodos - either they get back to the sports talk IMMEDIATELY or start losing listeners to your new competition in town.

The "Family" seems to be filled with hypocrisy and they seem to justify it because "God" put them in power. So, what happens when they get booted out of office? Is that God's will as well?

Yup, wait until WBZ-FM comes on. While I'm saddened that one of the legendary FM signals (WBCN) is going away, it has been a shell of its former self for years, the only reason I'd tune there was to listen to Patriots games.
I've always considered WEEI to be nothing more than an extension of the Herald. Heck, they even read the Herald front page during the morning show.

Just saw this posted someplace...
Timeline:
January 21, 2009 - New York Times contacts all aides, secretaries, etc that worked in the Bush administration.
January 22, 2009 - NYT milks all these people for every political or military decision ever considered. NYT then puts all this stuff in a vault.
Then, every time Nancy Pelosi lies, Obama's health plan loses massive support, or any other damaging incident occurs, they release a story out of their vault to distract from the administration's deceptions.
Does anyone see a pattern here? Then again, I am just speculating. They probably aren't being dishonest journalists/political activists.

OK, so my Fast Lane transponder goes *kaplooey* and I picked up a lane violation last weekend.
I've spent more than 2 hours on hold (via 3 separate phone calls) trying to get to a live person so I can find out what happened.
And the government wants to run my healthcare plan?
rant, rave, spittle!

okay those on twitter - who is Stellan and why is he a trending topic?
It's starting to feel like I may end up joining twitter after all. One of my friends is starting a Doctor Who update on his twitter page as well as his facebook page.
I have someone I work with who never posts but she follows people so she can keep up with the people she's interested in.
Join only if you want to - I talk to my geeky Heroes friends and a select group of others ;)

Big Meadows Lodge along with others. Mrs Mondo had a summer gig there many years ago.

Morning, comrades!
Well....since I lost my vacation time and money earlier this year, we're not going anywhere in 2009.
But your loyal TriSec loves to plan, so I'm already looking at 2010.
On the list of possible things....heading Downcape, getting a cabin up in the mountains (of NH, VT, or NY) or the one that intrigues me most....touring Civil war sites through the Shenandoah valley and hitting the Skyline Drive.
What say you, Virginia delegation? Where does one stay in and around the ol' Skyline?
(I've already looked at the I-81 corridor, but avoiding a chain on the interstate would be much better.)
Of course, maybe we could all have a commune and rent a big ol, 7-bedroom house somewhere on the Jersey shore and have a big party for the week.

Is the only thing that's proping up this birther movement is the fact that the Pres has a short form for a birhtcertificate?
Cause I have a short version of mine from DC - mine isn't even from a state does that make me not American?

There's apparently also some alleged claim that they witnessed the actual birth in Kenya but it sounds like total BS. Of course they would have to file a false birth notice to the two Honolulu papers that announced his birth.

I have both the long form (letter-size paper photocopy w/ impression stamp seals & red ink) and the wallet-sized short form as a backup.

The "alleged claim" is a non starter. IT is ALL Total BS.
If we were to listen to the Birthers.. Mala and myself should be having our citizenship questioned.
They are questioning the birth of a LOT of Americans!
