46 years...a long time. My very first job was working for the federal government under President Kennedy's "Youth Opportunity" program. I made 72 cents an hour, BIG money in 1966 for a 16 year old. I have had many jobs doing many different things. Some I loved, …

Memo to the Super Rich, your high-paid lobbyists and your no-compromise political puppets whose sole mission is destroying the presidency: Yes, you are succeeding.
The sanitizing of 9/11 and the falsification of its genesis to jump-start a second war ended up muddying and corrupting the memory of the event rather than giving hawks and the right’s p.c.-police the permanent “war on terror” they craved.
Energy companies have spent the last couple of years fighting off added government regulation, saying red tape is slowing development. But recent data show that the pace of drilling is just short of the 20-year high it reached before the recession.

So what have the poor done for us? Why should they have any share of the pie?
And here I thought the GOP was supposed to be the He-Man party. The party of tough choices, masculine resolve and facing the music. So President Obama invites a few Republicans for some straight talk about the budget deficit and what happens? Boo hoo hoo.
I work from home. That's the only reason I have a land line. I only answer it from 8 - 5 when I am working sales calls and the calls are distributed between me and the other sales reps. We work commission so our calls are important to us.

from the news letter: On the heels of that oil slick problem, the administration launched a proxy attack on the Tea Party movement via the NAACP- hoping to lay a slippery slick in our path that would cause us to lose traction, spin out, and halt our momentum.
And I hope they win the White House in 2012 too. I am ready to give it all back to them. I will be delighted to see how they would hand the keys to the nation over to the banks and the corporations. I am certain it wouldn't take very long.
