As it has in all previous shutdowns, 10 of them. <br /><br />Then I began hearing the military, the troops, would not be paid, military families would be hurt by shutdown, yadayada.<br /><br />I believe the news flip-flopped on the Obama admin's say-so or the PTB who run our circus. But really, in previous shutdowns DoD made payroll - imagine a million plus troops pissed off at no paycheck. None of my sons were concerned about pay if there was a shutdown.<br /><br />Not only are the alternative barkers just noisy dogs but so is MSM. All barking for an agenda that does nothing to serve we the people.<br /><br />Sheehan and other notonemore folks either knew the threat of no military pay was b.s. or they were too busy begging for donations to further their cause to write about troop paychecks. Or maybe, they hoped it would happen to bring about revolution and usher in all that hope and change.Kate-Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02097300904370192818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10465909.post-22157315995191040572011-04-30T23:11:09.081-05:002011-04-30T23:11:09.081-05:00Great minds think alike. . . when the 'governm...Great minds think alike. . . when the 'government shutdown' made headlines with news that the military would not receive death benefits (how many were expected to die, I asked myself) or be paid on time (the second worse fate for the allotment folks), I went looking to see what Cindy Sheehan and the notonemore folks (and other big mouths) had to say. Nothing. If ever there was the opportunity to step up to the plate, that was it. But then, that's not the point of having famous alternative news barkers, is it. . .kfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974010540762777009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10465909.post-91223209324226385212011-04-29T19:33:48.938-05:002011-04-29T19:33:48.938-05:00Thanks kf.

They're always "speaking truth to power."<br /><br />Funny you should mention that b/c just today I was looking up a sort of "where are they now" folks from the anti-Bush era. Cindy, code pink, moveon, bob geiger, Plame, Ellsberg, etc. etc.<br /><br />Where are the "Obama Lied and People Died" crowds. <br /><br />Awful to wake up and realize I've drank a lot of their kool-aid for decades.Kate-Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02097300904370192818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10465909.post-29774142703079655112011-04-29T17:32:25.357-05:002011-04-29T17:32:25.357-05:00uh...well. .

I saw creases in one photo where her neck was bent, and it made me itch, lol.<br /><br />I just re-read your excellent editorial, "Popular Uprisings". I'd been thinking about the fact that slogans are quite pronounced among the alternative news barkers. Lots of 'identifying the problem' and 'waking up the sheeple' but no concrete proposals or requests for suggestions. Other than the Ron Paul solution - which we will get if necessary (per tptb) but it won't change a thing. The announcement that another R Paul wants a slice of politics has me wondering if it's Ron's dynastic fever or a loading of the dice (both, probably). Anyway, great editorial - the likes of which are few and far between unfortunately for those of us with an ounce of common sense!kfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974010540762777009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10465909.post-3867726761946344242011-04-29T11:32:14.844-05:002011-04-29T11:32:14.844-05:00I really liked her dress and veil.

I thought the dress could have been a little less full b/c she has a good figure and Will had to concentrate to avoid stepping on it at one point, but all in all it was a pretty gown. I didn't see the back of the neck cut, but liked the front. I only caught a few minutes of her walking down the aisle this morning. <br /><br />Much better than that poofy puffy pile of material Diana wore. I have never understood how anyone would have agreed to that ugly dress.Kate-Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02097300904370192818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10465909.post-3245955075795940962011-04-29T11:05:47.767-05:002011-04-29T11:05:47.767-05:00So. . .What did you think of the dress?

I also liked the tiara-veil and the way the veil hit along the front of the dress before lifting.kfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974010540762777009noreply@blogger.com
