Let me start by saying how grateful I am for all the articles and videos everybody has contributed.There are not enough hours in the day to cover much of the events that are happening.As the most important election in our lifetime grows nearer,things are happening at a breakneck pace.I’ve figured how to store youtubes I come across during the day so I can post without having to hunt for them.And there are a bunch of them every day.I may ending doing more visual than text,but most are short,and if I didn’t think they weren’t worthwhile I wouldn’t waste your time.Thanks to all of you for being there to lend a hand.

STAPLES VS. SOLYNDRA
Instead of being defensive about Bain,he should defend his business by asking who the voters prefer–the man who invested private money into Staples or the one who invested taxpayer money into Solyndra?

Great summary by MM.
Too many people refuse to believe that the rich are more likely democrats than republicans, even when the facts smack them in the face. It is mind blowing how “liberal” mind works.
One thing MM did not mention was obama’s connection to the al bore/southshore bank/climategate scandal. Remember all those carbon offsets? Where did all of THAT money go?

For reasons too stupid to elaborate, I had to take a hit, like taking a pay cut, a demotion, and moving from a house to an apartment. Or something. Yesterday morning I moved from broadband cable down to 3G cell connection. 😯 Don’t know how long this will be my situation. Also took me most of two days and many swings with the 5lb rubber mallet to figure how to configure this to work. Again. I had this set up a couple of winters ago. Folks at AT&T, when informed of how I log on, said, “You’re not supposed to be able to do that.” Shhh.

Thanks for the ideas, wishes, and concern. Good folks here!
I have Opera mini on my phone. It’s great, much faster than the native browser. Alas, my old coal-burning cell has very little memory. I can only browse low-overhead pages, like Drudge. Seriously! The cell is far more useful as a dial-up modem than for browsing itself. I look at the ads for the Samsung Galaxy S3 and I cry. In a manly way.
Now that I’ve been forced back to hooking my tired old workhorse desktop up via Bluetooth through the cell to the net, my got-used-to-broadband 2012 self is hair-pullingly frustrated, but my beginning-hacker 1973 self marvels that it works at all. This is my only current option.
Something like a year ago, the data cable port on the cell began getting flaky. I took it to a small cell repair shop. After they quit ROFLing at my antique, I said, the data port seems to have come loose from the motherboard. They confirmed this was the problem. I asked, so, can it be re-soldered? Ah, what a naive old-timer I am. No, they said, they don’t solder those, they glue them. Ugh. Solder can be re-melted and things fixed. Glue leaves a big glob and if it fails you’re SOL. Cheap? Or planned obsolescence? (The two are not necessarily mutually exclusive.) Well, that wasn’t a problem. I got a $10 Bluetooth connector and that was better! No cable to fuss with, and it linked to the desktop when I walked in the room.
Now, as long anticipated, the power cable port is heading the same way. And of course wireless power is hardly an option! 😀 Besides that, the battery doesn’t always charge, or something; the cell frequently bricks in the middle of a call. To get on here, picture me gingerly twiddling the cable until it says “charging,” then trying not to jiggle it while I work. I expect the power port to fail any time.
At least then I won’t be frustrated at how slow my connection is!
Good night, Gracie. God bless y’all & keep up the good fight.

I have a real problem with law-abiding citizens having to register their guns and give info when buying ammo. After all the whole point of the right to bear arms is to protect against a tyrannical government, and not just for self-defense. If the government knows who has all the guns and they become tyrannical, well, do we tell the enemy where the weapons arsenals are?
