The Red Brick Times

In case you missed it, my Mom had her 'moment in the sun' with President Obama at the Elyria Town Hall meeting last Friday. She claims this is the last lap of an 'old political warhorse' but I am not so sure. There plenty of spirit left in those old bones.

I have compiled a web page with some of the highlights at Mom and the President.

  • Ok, I was hoping someone I knew got the chance to kiss the man. I expect nothing less from Robin Ruth's mother-in-law.

"We are moving to an age where we won't have the senator from Arkansas or the congressman from North Carolina, but the senator from Wal-Mart and the congressman from Bank of America," said Melanie Sloan, director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.

And we thought lobbyists already had too much power. Perish the thought. They've now gotten to the Supreme Court. Umm.. and uh, just in case someone from the government is monitoring this (hey, who knows these days?) I, for one, welcome our new masters.

  • Seriously, now we may have some clout.
    What if we mounted a campaign to shop with the corporation who best represented our interests?
    We got Coke Classic back. Maybe we can get health care now!

  • Thanks for putting that in perspective. It looks like the tyrannical 'GOD' of the Old Testament is alive and well.

  • Perhaps Creationism is the reality. And the Creator is rethinking the original artwork and moving toward erasure and redo. I mean, hail, whirlwind, rain of frogs, earthquake: real Old Testament stuff. It works in impoverished and desperate places like Haiti. Now in the USA, we have Banks and Religion. Same result; rendering masses hungry, desperate and homeless. The eradication of the human parasite from the earth may be the end goal after all.

"Sometimes it boggles my mind the kind of power we have."

How Don McLeroy and his ultraconservative buddies on the Texas State Board of Education will be re-writing the school books for the entire nation. And no, it's not just about evolution anymore. "Among other things, they aim to rehabilitate Joseph McCarthy, bring global-warming denial into science class, and downplay the contributions of the civil rights movement."

My mind boggles too.
