While I wish I had the energy to write a complete assessment of the State of the Union speech, I thought it worthwhile to at least point the direction on a topic many people took a jab at on Twitter, namely Senator Al Franken sitting immediately behind our military leadership during the State of the Union speech.
It may be simply explained by Senator Franken’s commitment to the USO and his 10+ years of service to lift the spirits of our troops.
Troubles getting your Corporate voice heard? Drowned out by pesky people and all their individual needs, like food and water and avoiding foreclosure and healthcare? Need government to make your Corporate ‘life’ a little easier and less complicated?
Then you’ll definitely want to take a look at our soon-to-be-released Senate and House Race Fractional Share Bidding System scheduled for launch as soon as friggin’ possible!
You heard right, Corporations! Soon you’ll even have a tool of your very own that delivers:
Privacy Protection of Bids — Everything’s keep private and secure on our servers . . . That is, until you win, you [ more . . . ]
First of all, Congratulations to Scott Brown. I mean that. Having run for office myself (office, not public office), it’s no easy task. It’s hard. It’s fun. It’s grueling. And at least part of it is that you hope you end up with as few people hating you as possible.
Scott Brown won, and Scott Brown deserves to be congratulated for that.
That said, I’m not so sure the People of Massachusetts will be happy with the result, whether now or somewhat soon. The one and only caveat to that statement depends on whether Senator-Elect Scott Brown changes the color of his [ more . . . ]
There’s a Boston Globe Op-Ed written by Joan Vennochi that lays out a pattern of how Scott Brown and his supporters are, simply put, bullying. And wouldn’t you know it, Scott Brown supporters are all over Ms. Vennochi for daring to write the truth.
Well, I’ll tell you, I’m sick of Scott Brown supporters, and here’s why (submitted on-line as well in reply to Ms Vennochi’s Op-Ed).
To all the Scott Brown supporters out there . . . The facts are the facts. So far — in just the past few days — I’ve had the following encounters with [ more . . . ]
Scott Brown’s smiling reaction to a supporter yelling that they “shoud shove a curling iron up her [Martha Coakley's] butt”.
I don’t care if it’s a stupid person’s best one-liner. Scott Brown had an obligation to correct and counter his supporter on the spot. It is after all his supporter. Scott Brown is responsible for setting the tone and behavior of his campaign, and he’s failed utterly.
Thanks to ThinkProgress.org, here’s a quick video everyone should watch who’s wondering just who this guy Scott Brown is.
In, oh, just over a minute he manages to defend Sarah Palin and — get this — distance himself from President Obama’s black heritage. What, Scott, the next best thing to having a white President is not having to admit you have a half black one?
I’d like to suggest that everyone in Massachusetts band together for the sake of informing the General Public exactly who the hell this guy Scott Brown really is.
But let’s be honest and fair — I’ll start.
Scott, it may be a disappointment, but I’m not voting for a truck. Just like I always thought it was a bad idea for people to vote for a guy you could have a beer with (George Bush), I’m voting AGAINST you on the issues.
First and foremost, you, Scott, gave a television interview where you prided yourself on hopefully being the 41st Senator to [ more . . . ]
While walking to and then waiting in line for the rally for Martha Coakley with President Barack Obama at Northeastern University, here’s my experience with Scott Brown supporters . . .
First, I was nearly run over at a STOP sign by a guy with too many Scott Brown signs in his windows and too bothered to stop, let alone to actually take the time to look, to see me or anyone else in time. (Oh, and the same guy later heckled the crowd while driving by the line of people waiting to get into the event.)
For those of you interested in the race to fill Senator Kennedy’s seat, Greater Boston held a truly fantastic forum of the four principle candidates, Michael Capuano, Martha Coakley, Alan Khazei and Steve Pagliuca. Topics ranged from national security to healthcare reform to matters pertaining to each individual candidate. If you want to get to know these people — and you don’t already — this is a must watch.
There’s been a lot of debate on the topic (no pun intended, well, actually I think it’s a fantastic pun so, I’m going to use it!), but what exactly happened last night on the floor of the Senate vis-a-vis last night’s vote on Healthcare Reform is something worth investigating and explaining.
If you go to the Senate website and take a look at the Senate’s Legislative Process guide (.pdf link), you’ll see pretty clearly exactly what happened last night . . . and why what happened last night is so extraordinary.
For starters, what happened last night was not a vote [ more . . . ]
