I am a musician and I have several services workers, from wait staff to bar tenders in my family. The shut downs have cut off income for people in those fields, and there is no end in sight. MAYBE the government may help but people in our professions usually fall through the cracks and are left helpless. IF you have a little money, please donate.

The Festival season in New Orleans and the rest of La. has been shut down — even the Jazz Fest has been moved to the fall. There are musicians there who make their money during the spring festival season and they are panicking. Suddenly, they have no money to pay rent and bills. If you are in New Orleans and want to help with a donation please do so through

Thanks

This is a repost of a reply I made, that I think would help to understand why the 2nd Amendment was created and why it's phrased as it is. From our viewpoint, it seems disjunct, but, if you rewind back to life in colonial times, it makes sense.

The sum of the 2nd was the founding fathers were assuring themselves that they could have an Army that drew on civilians in time of need, who owned their own firearms.

Onward ---

They all think they are such good Christians, so make them live by it. Call them on it. Make them quote the words of Christ to you. Force their noses into their hypocrisy. Sell it like a tent preacher, too. The first thing you should say in response to anything they say is this, "What Did Jesus teach us to do about that?"

Time to stop their lies and fear mongering.

I have been responding to right wingers for a while- I have some in my family and have crossed swords with quite a few on the internet. Some are thinkers, but the bulk of them simply repeat what they have been told – whether it came from church or the TV or radio. If you can get them to discuss the rationale behind what they think is "right" – especially if it is something like homophobia and Muslim terrorists, you will reach a point where they simply regurgitate dogma. But, one and all, they will end up at the same point. Invariably, if you talk with them for a while, their viewpoint reduces to "God said this." At this point, no amount of reasoning will work. They have closed their mind and retreated to the walls of their religion. Their version of the Supreme Being has spoken, and the matter is settled – case closed. No matter what you say, nothing will change their minds. Or maybe not. Follow me here:

I just got a flier from her and it is titled "Are you worried about government regulated health care?" and "The debate over government Regulated Health Care". And is full of lies.

She claims that small businesses will be taxed, payroll taxes will go up 8%, Government will make key medical decisions, Medicare will be cut, and seniors will lose their Medicare Advantage plan.

She offers a "Common Sense solution": Allow small businesses to pool employees with other small business employees, to lower the cost of buying health insurance. Enact medical Liability reform, which is essential to reduce costly, unnecessary defensive medicine.

She says: "Majority leaders in Congress support what I feel is a healthcare system controlled by the government, what I believe could eventually become nationalized, universal, or socialized healthcare. Nationalizing our healthcare system will not fix our problems. Bigger government and more spending will only create bigger problems and higher taxes in the coming years. We need healthcare solutions that keep txes low, give you choices, and that work for all North Carolinians."

This is not a promo! I found this on Bloomberg, & found it telling that this shoe company has a buying frenzy on its hands, due to one man standing up for the truth. I thought it would be a way to prove what we Americans think of Bush. And I wish I could send Muntadar al-Zeidi my congrats. If it had been me, I would have thrown a tomato.

the title says it all, but this grew out of a discussion last night about Obama's love for jazz, and the possibility of him having jazz players at the inauguration:

We worked hard to get a deserving person into office. today, let's savor our victory and relax. But we have much more work to do. And Obama will still need our help and power.

I found this on DU, and am copying it to get the word out fast:

George W. Bush late Friday asked Attorney General Michael Mukasey to investigate whether hundreds of thousands of newly registered voters in the battleground state of Ohio would have to verify the information on their voter registration forms or be given provisional ballots, an issue the U.S. Supreme Court weighed in on last week.

I am very concerned about this. I believe the Repubs know he had a stroke and are trying to hid it from the public. his recent appearances and behavior seem to confirm it. We need to look into this. All politics aside, we do not need a person who has had a stroke as President

I know this is short, but I have heard rumors of a Republican "War Room" about a block from the convention hall.
