On Sunday

And the New York Times.

Yeah.

Happy Sunday, everyone.

Farewell, Mr. Olbermann

Farewell, Mr. Olbermann.  I appreciate what you've done.

I took up watching you and "Countdown" as my effort to keep abreast of the way the George W. Bush administration was taking our country apart.  While too frequently sanctimonious (yes, honestly), we shared a great deal of opinions on current events.  I know a lot of us out here want to believe you'll be back, somewhere on some station, doing similar work and very soon.  We wish you all the best.

At least we still have Rachel Maddow.

Chill, people

A great deal of people, I think it can be shown, didn't pay much, if any, attention from 2000 to 2008, as our president and leaders at the time took us from budget surpluses to huge budget deficits. And now, now that there is a person in the White House who isn't the same color as a lot of them is trying to save our collective butts, doing all he can, they suddenly, as of last inauguration day, wake up and want to scream and complain and whine and cry about where we are and what's going on. Suddenly they're upset because they think he's spending too much. But were they saying much when the last guy in the White House was blowing through money like we'd all have it forever? How about when he arbitrarily and against both national and international law took us into an unprovoked war in the Middle East? Were they (you?) complaining then? I know I got out and protested the war before it happened so, hopefully, it would make a difference. Well, you know what? You can't not pay attention 8 or more years and then all of a sudden pretend you either a) care or b) are informed. You're clearly, especially not informed. So please, everyone who's screaming--calm down, sit down, close your mouths and start listening and reading. You have some old ground to cover. I absolutely recommend a lot of NPR (National Public Radio) and PBS on television, for starters. You have a lot of learning to do for a while and we don't need your irrationality, emotionalism and/or your reactionary rants. It's not even good for you, let alone the country.

Needing and wanting reforms--health care, banking and more

Don't forget to remember

And have a great weekend, y'all
