"After careful consideration, I have decided to end my marriage. I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision. I had hoped this marriage was forever, but sometimes things don't work out as planned. We remain friends and wish each other the best."They were only married 72 days ago. How careful could the consideration have been?
"..this isn't dropping your pants and saying kiss it."Ann Coulter on the allegations of Herman Cain committing acts of harassment on two women in the 90's.
“We’ve got five bike-powered generator systems that are coming from Boston and we’ve got five more plus other ones that are going to supplement as well so we’re completely, completely off the grid"Lauren Minis - Occupy Wall Street Protester on New York City removing the gas powered generators due to safety reasons.
"You can't raise the taxes we need just by going after that one percent, to really deal with the deficit gap we're talking about, that alone just numerically is not going to be enough."Bill Gates on the Buffett Rule
The protestors of the Occupy Wall Street complain about the unfairness of the bailout, unemployment, and taxes. But to make the U.S. economy more fair, Washington needs to use the capitalist system, not to destroy it.Douglas Holtz-Eakin, President of American Action Forum and Former Director of the Congressional Budget Office. He is respected on both sides of the aisle.
“We need to limit the amount of food we’re putting out to curb the influx of derelicts,”A Kitchen Volunteer at Occupy Wall Street in New York.
“I’m super passionate about the movement, but the frustration is feeling like you’re in a war zone with barricades in front of my apartment and cops with big guns standing around, we were okay being a little uncomfortable for a couple of weeks, but after six weeks it gets to be a little much.”Winbush, 28, said inside a Brooks Brothers store across the street from Zuccotti Park.
* Kids ages 11 and 12 sort “risk cards” to rate the safety of various activities, including “intercourse using a condom and an oil-based lubricant,’’ mutual masturbation, French kissing, oral sex and anal sex.
* High-school students go to stores and jot down condom brands, prices and features such as lubrication.Just what I want, my teen being ordered to shop for condoms and a good route to a clinic that will give my child birth control pills without my consent. But I would have to say the topper is:
* Teens research a route from school to a clinic that provides birth control and STD tests, and write down its confidentiality policy.
* Teens are referred to resources such as Columbia University’s Web site Go Ask Alice, which explores topics like “doggie-style” and other positions, “sadomasochistic sex play,” phone sex, oral sex with braces, fetishes, porn stars, vibrators and bestiality.Today on Go Ask Alice, the topics include oral sex and non latex condoms and easing orgasms for women. Just the things I would want my teenager daughter to learn from someone who doesn't love her or know her as well as her mom does. The department of Ed says that they are stressing that abstinence is the only way to avoid STD's pregnancy. That seems pretty obvious to me from the workbooks!! A Child psychologist is concerned about the teaching methods that are going to be used:
“Kids are being told to either abstain or use condoms -- that both are responsible, healthy choices,” said child and adolescent psychiatrist Miriam Grossman, author of “You’re Teaching My Child What?”Parents will be allowed to opt their child out on the prevention part of the course, but the part that they learn what "doggie style" is, is mandatory. Well yee ha, ride 'em cowboy.
The DOE “relies on latex,” she said.
But Grossman argues that the books minimize the dangers that pregnancy can still occur with condom use, and that viruses such as herpes and HPV live on body parts not covered by a condom.
“The other day, I took in $2,000. I kept $650 for my group, and gave the rest to Finance. Then I went to them with a request -- so many people need things, and they should not be going without basic comfort items -- and I was told to fill out paperwork. Paperwork! Are they the government now?”Bryan Smith, 45 TV Producer from Los Angeles who is now in charge of the comfort group at OWS.
“They are defecating on our doorsteps, a lot of people are very frustrated. A lot of people are concerned about the safety of our kids.”Catherine Hughes, who lives one block from Zuccotti Park, on the Occupy Wall Street Protesters.
"I don't expect any violence, but I don't expect it to be easy. The eviction is just a small thing in the bigger struggle. I don't think the struggle is going to dissipate in the near future at all. You have 400 to 500 people who have lived with each other for a week and dreamed to live in another world."Jason (declined to give last name) about the eviction notice served to the Occupy Oakland camp site.
Eric, part of the 99%.I agree with the inclusion principle, but I believe we have to be VERY wary of certain Tea Party elements. Clearly those who are against the banksters and the Fed share a lot in common with us. However, many are deeply opposed to liberalism and socialism and view those on the left as much of an enemy, if not more so, than the banks. I believe it is the INDEPENDENT voters who should be courted. They are a lot more important in the grander scheme of things.
"You cannot not have strong capital markets in this country or the country is going to go down the tubes," he said. "I think most people want change in this country but they don't want the country to go down the tubes. They don't want the country to become England."
"I want to make the tax code so simple that even Timothy Geithner can file his taxes on time.”
“Stealing is our biggest problem at the moment,” said Nan Terrie, 18, a kitchen and legal-team volunteer from Fort Lauderdale.Now, what are the chances that she paid for that $5K computer herself? I have this feeling it was a gift from Mommy and Daddy. She is 18 years old and doesn't seem to have a job or classes to go to. She can spend her time at "protesting" the dirty rich.
“I had my Mac stolen — that was like $5,500. Every night, something else is gone. Last night, our entire [kitchen] budget for the day was stolen, so the first thing I had to do was . . . get the message out to our supporters that we needed food!”
Mitt Romney is the favorite to receive Sen. Jim DeMint's (R-S.C.) much-sought-after endorsement in the race for the Republican presidential nomination, according to knowledgeable GOP sources.
South Carolina Republicans, including DeMint and Sen. Lindsey Graham, say the state's primary is fluid and within reach for almost any of the candidates. An American Research Group survey of South Carolina GOP primary voters released last week showed Georgia businessman Herman Cain in front with 26 percent, followed closely by Romney with 25 percent. Texas Gov. Rick Perry had 15 percent and 12 percent were undecided. The lead previously belonged to PerryI am speechless.
"We don’t know where it comes from. It just appears, and we eat it.”On how they are eating during their sit in. Who cares who pays for it, as long as they get some. The level of entitlement of these people is simply stunning.
“They expect everything, everything for free, nothing to pay,”Steve Zamfotis, Manager of Charley's Restaurant. Charley's is located across the street from the poopalooza that is known as Occupy Wall Street.
"Even as banks got bailed out, American children have witnessed their parents get tossed out of their homes and lose their jobs. Public school kids have lost arts, music and physical education, now our kids can see activists take these issues to the streets in a democratic forum at Occupy Wall Street."
“Most of the kids are trust-fund babies. They don’t need to be here,” said Andre, 40, an activist. “I’ve seen some making out, having sex. It doesn’t look good.”Are they going to be doing something about that before the school kids come? Or what about this:
Many of the newcomers to the tent city are attracted by the donated freebies: pizza, sandwiches, fruit, as well as bins of sweaters, pants, boots, even underwear. There are also handout comforters for anyone who wants 40 winks.So, the organizers of this "leaderless" protest believes that bringing young children down to witness these things are a good idea? This is democracy in action according to them.
And with complimentary condoms on hand, a 1960s-style free love has begun to blossom. More than 400 participants spent the night Friday huddling and cuddling in Zuccotti Park.
"I didn't hear him say anything when the Tea Party was out demonstrating, actually spitting on members of Congress right here in the Capitol. And he and his colleagues were putting signs in the windows encouraging them. But let's not get down to that."Nancy Pelosi on Eric Cantor's statement that he was worried about the Wall Street Protesters. So, let's see, first and foremost, the spitting never happened. At least not in the context that Nanny would like people to believe in this statement. The video evidence of what happened was found, quite a while ago in fact. It was a say it don't spray it situation. There was no intent to spit on any member of congress during any tea party. The Tea Party was responsible for shutting down one of the offices of congress when after Speaker Pelosi's office refused to open the door, let alone speak to the protesters they ripped up paper from a copy of Obamacare. I witnesses that event, and at the time said it was a bad idea to allow ourselves to be provoked in this manner. But what wasn't widely reported was the fact that other members of the tea party went back into the building and help clean up the mess after the offices were re-opened.
“What [Cain] does not have the right is to rewrite history by saying that blacks were brainwashed by becoming Democrats, We went with a Party that stood up for the Civil Rights Act of ’64 and Voting Rights Act of ’65.”
“the kind of sexist misogynistic attack that we have very sadly come to expect from politicians whenever there is a strong woman who is capable and really dedicated to the betterment of all people.”Terry O'Neil's, President of The National Organization (of liberal) Women, response to Scott Brown's comment on Elizabeth Warren's shot about him posing nude to pay for college.
“reconsider whether he should be a United States senator,” and “he should seriously consider dropping out of the race.”Hmm, let's see here, Meg Whitman was called a "whore" by Jerry Brown's campaign and less than twenty four hours later they endorsed him. The president of the California chapter said this:
"Meg Whitman could be described as 'a political whore.' Yes, that's an accurate statement."No, there is no bias on the part of the NOW. Seriously, just change your name to The National Organization of Liberal Women and be done with it.
“You’re trying to take up our time getting us to defend your friend Sarah Palin. If you keep us busy defending her, we have less time to defend women’s bodies from the onslaught of reproductive rights attacks and other threats to our freedom, safety, livelihood, etc,”
“Mr. President, why have you given up on the country and decided to campaign full-time?”Speaker Boehner today at the Washington Ideas Forum.
“For the first time in my life, I feel at home.”That is nothing short of tragic.
