The Senate has voted 31-67 on Dodd/Feingold’s amendment which means they will allow retroactive immunity to the Big Money Communication Companies that broke the law by wire-tapping us for Herr W. This was done by a Democratically led Senate even after a Republican led Senate dared not even try. That should tell you a lot about the scum who have been bought and now are leading the way to hide the criminality and enable even more, while lining their pockets for the next election to screw you over.
Democratic “Bought and Paid For” Senators:
Evan Bayh (IA), Tom Carper (DE), Kent Conrad (ND), Dianne Feinstein (CA), Daniel Inouye (HI), Tim Johnson (SD), Herb Kohl (WI), Mary Landrieu (LA), Blanche Lincoln (AR), Claire McCaskill (MO), Barbara Mikulski (MD), Ben Nelson (NE), Bill Nelson (FL), Mark Pryor (AR), Jay Rockefeller (WV), Ken Salazar (CO), Debbie Stabenow (MI), and Jim Webb (VA)
Remember them when it comes time to vote for either these Bush law-breaking enablers or real patriots. I am most surprised and dismayed by that last name.
Also note that Barack Obama took time off to vote against retroactive immunity, but the Big Money Gal, Hillary, dared not bother to vote against her coffers.
I hope she goes down in flames. Then we may end up with truly the least of all the offered evils.
I spoke with my sister yesterday and she was in good spirits. She was hanging out upstairs at home, afraid of exposing her cat to the high radiation levels
Interestingly one of her biggest aggravations is her small veins. Simply doing bloodwork or running an IV can be a major ordeal. It’s not related to her treatment — she’s always been that way. But it’s frustrating enough that she’d hesitate to undergo intravenous chemo if it was suggested down the road.
All the more reason to root on our friend, Mr. Scorpion! Word is they’ll do bloodwork and take some scans today, followed by the weekly injection and observation tomorrow. The good news is she could go home as early as Wednesday, making this a short week.
Contrary to my earlier reports, she said yesterday it could be three months before they take an MRI and determine the effect of the injections. More time for us to build up prayer momentum!
Hope you’re enjoying the site’s new “Valentine” theme, inspired by Sue O’Connor! Might have to jump to St Patrick’s Day next!
Let’s hope for a “routine” week and continued strength and comfort for Jen. Thanks for your prayers — ours are with you! – TRH
America is Spike and Israel is Chester. If you don’t remember the cartoon names, go here for a refresher. Spike was the Big, Bad Bulldog and Chester was the little bitty tagalong terrier. Chester finally shows Spike what it means to really be the “Big Dog”.
Ehud Olmert, the Israeli prime minister, says he is certain Iran is engaged in a secret operation to build nuclear weapons.“We are of the view that the Iranians are continuing to pursue their plans to create a capacity for non-conventional weapons,” he said in Berlin on Tuesday at a news conference with Angela Merkel, the German chancellor.
“Nothing we’ve seen so far has changed our view on that,” Olmert said, speaking through an interpreter.Olmert also said he was sharing information with other countries about Iran’s nuclear programme and that no options should be forgotten in trying to prevent Iran from developing atomic weapons.
“As [US] President [George] Bush once said: no option is ruled out,” Olmert said.
As Americans we are foolishly allowing this little nation to form our foreign policy… to our total demise, if we continue. They can read and understand our intelligence reports, and totally claim it untrue and expect us to believe it.
