BlueNC WoW - Open Thread 5/9
Submitted by Betsy Muse on Wed, 05/09/2007 - 8:27am
Welcome to BlueNC Women on Wednesdays. We have a few posts going up throughout the day, so pull up a chair and lets chat.
LCloud is traveling and might not be with us. She has business in other parts of the state, but we hope she'll find a few minutes to stop in later.
Lovex7 is on her way to Washington this very minute. She has important work up there keeping a certain congressman in line. Actually, she will be attending a luncheon with the first lady. I'm sure it is only that fine genteel breeding that will keep Love from telling Laura what she really thinks of Dubya. Oh, but wouldn't I love to be a fly on the wall if she happened to let something slip!
Unique is putting in her vegetable garden and will maybe share some thoughts with us later in the day.
If you're new to BlueNC, welcome. Please feel free to post throughout the day and to chat in the threads. We don't have hard and fast rules about staying on topic, but we encourage it. Open threads are scattered about and you can follow added comments by clicking on the "track changes" tab in the top right corner of the site.
Any BlueNC women who would like to join the BlueNC WoW group, please let me know. We plan to continue encouraging women to join the fray and hope that a day where our front page is dedicated to our female writers will bring more voices to our community.
Again, welcome and thank you.

Congratulations Blue South!
Final tests/grades are posted. Congrats on finishing college. I know you'll land a job with a great campaign. Those candidates had better start getting their offers in. I know how smart you are and how hard you work - they can't pay you enough.
hmm
"they cant pay you enough"
I like the sound of that...

I figured you would
I was very deliberate with my word choice. :)
Robin Hayes lied. Nobody died, but thousands of folks lost their jobs.
I don't think he's reading it right...
"they CAN'T pay you enough" not "they can't pay you ENOUGH"

One man with courage makes a majority.

Oh...you are right
very distinct difference in those two sentences.

2 things
First, stop over at kos to read a new entry by Marshall.
Then watch this video.

Talking to people about the "War" (
most in this very RED part of NC think we need to stay and fight till we "Win". I ask them what is their definition of winning? They can't tell me, they just think we need to kill all the people that are fighting against us. When I tell them that most of them are Iraqi, they just say, "Well we need to kill them all!" How sad that we went in to save them from a dictator and now the uninformed feel we need to kill the very people we went in to save.
No matter that patriotism is too often the refuge of scoundrels. Dissent, rebellion, and all-around hell-raising remain the true duty of patriots.

If we kill all the Iraqis,
who will live in Iraq?

Insane
Republicans are insane. Let an incompetent fool keep his job as long as he's on a short, tight leash? WTF? Who's going to be holding the damn leash? George the Moron? That's reassuring.
Not.
Just proves that Coble needs to GO!
He's gotten a lot of attention because he has told bush that he's not doing a good job in Iraq, but he still toes the Repug line!

I did a little figuring last week, preparing to write an article
but work exploded, and now I'm huddled in a hotel room, avoiding death by workshop. But according to the numbers I figured based on his votes between the beginning of the 110th Congress in January and the first week of May, Coble has voted the way I would want him to only 7% of the time. I used the Washington Post's database of votes to get percentage - he voted with the (R) opinion 93% of the time. It's really time for him to go. Really.

Need HELP!
I have been trying to remove my "post" picture since winter has passed and it's time for a new one. The system won't let me. I keep deleting the picture and uploading a new one, but when I push "enter" the old pic is still there. Can someone hold my hand?

First just try deleting the picture
Don't add a new one.
Robin Hayes lied. Nobody died, but thousands of folks lost their jobs.
Deleted pic
that took, went into track changes and looked at my comments, the pic was gone. So went back to add a new one and the old one came back. So I deleted it again. Are we able to change or once you put up a pic that's it?

I've seen pics change
it might have something to do with the "cache" . . . whatever that is.
Sounds like a job for Sir Lance-A-Lot.
I had this happen. Try going to that page, making sure
it is deleted. Hit F5, then refresh the page and upload your image.

Thanks Robert
I tried a couple of times. The old pic was gone but every time I tried uploading the new pic, the old one appears...:(

From the Dome
Isn't that precious? A military man in the United States of America who is "willing" to consider that Congress might just have a little eentsie bit of say in what the Navy does? Will wonders never cease.
I guess Winter has spent too much time talking to Dick Burr, who famously said
What a couple of idiots.
When will it end?
What a POS

POS
why do you have to denigrate excrement by comparing it to the Liar in Chief?
Go tell the Dome
to lay off the Puppet Sauce. Purdy please?

Liddy Dole - Mothers Day
Can I get some help finding examples of ways Liddy has hurt mothers? I know she has voted repeatedly to cut Medicaid and WIC. Have their been any votes on maternity leave? Other issues? Maybe "Mother Earth?"
Not sure
but FMLA affects a lot of people. I don't know what her opinion on that matter is, however.
Here's a clue
Project Vote Smart lists ratings of elected officials by various interest groups.
A sampling of Liddy's reviews:
Any questions?
Larry Kissell is MY Congressman
I think I could
do a diary every week between now and the election on various aspects of her record from that page. Its ugly.

We love us some men! ;)
BTW, Firefox works great over here. I started using it on this site just a bit ago and have not had any posting issues. woot.
Another great day
In the WoW Department!
It's funny
I got a late start rallying the writers and was worried we wouldn't put up enough posts, but the conversations that went on in the comments of the posts were wonderful. Today has been a wonderful WoW day.
Thank you everyone!
