1. Who knew?--Jay Rockefeller is my new hero. He has been clear, concise, and fiercely articulate about the public option. I expected Shumer to play that role (and he has to a certain extent). But Rockefeller? Oh my, I wonder if the Mountaineers in West Virginia know that have a budding socialist in the Senate. I totally agree with him that no bill is better than a bad bill.
2. I know there are many more steps that will occur but I worry about this vote yesterday. It may mean nothing but as iI have said before, thoe Democrats from smllish states (Montana, North Dakota, Arkansas) cnnot be allowed to control this thing. I tell myself daily that Barack knows what he is doing but it sure does not look like that. But Max was given too much time and too much room and I do blame barack for that.
3. It scares me when I get my "news" from Jon Stewart--but he is so good.
4. at the same time, the right blogs and media are going crazy--mentioning the word coup, wondering if Barack can be President and go to /copenhagen. they have really lost it and one can only hope that a bazillion people see it--otherwise we are looking at a Republican house in 2010.
5. Saw a great movie called Amreeka (not sure about the spelling). Do know it was overseen by the Canadian Film Board (way to go Charles/Myra) and filmed in Manitoba. About a Palestinian mother and her son who get papers to emigrate to America. the first l5 minutes or so were shot in the West bank and enraged me. The will is so high, it makes the berlin wall look like one of those we see in the New England country. The depcition of Israeli soliders was accurate but oh so tyrannical. It embarassed me. The movie was about what it was like for the two of them to be plopped down in the middle of rural Illinois. One very funny (yet very telling) scene: at U.S. immigration, she is asked occupation. Her response is yes--for 40 years!!
6. GM and Penske blew up the deal for Saturn. No more saturns will be produced which is very dire news for Steven. Those fools had a very innovative are and screwed it up--then we bailed them out.
7. So I think both the red Flops and the Yanks have serious pitching questions. The big difference is that the Yankees can put lots of runs up on the board. An important factoid: Cano and jter are both batting over 320, both have over 200 hits and both have scored over 100 runs. by the way, sports fans, Jeter is the MVP.
8. Have very little else to say except I probably should write these after watching Olbeman who seems to find the craziest right wingers on the planet to say very crazy and scary things boiling my blood. Really, has anyone ever heard Michelle bachman, the congresswoman from Minnesota. Ugh.
