Last year around this time I was sending out a post on holiday email viruses. While I haven’t seen any outstanding holiday items yet, I did have one possible scam in relation to a just completed online bank transaction. Their email displayed the bank’s logo and looked pretty official. (more…)

NAFTA
Umm Humm!
If you are on dial up and can’t download the accompanying UTube, refresh your memory with the text of the Ohio debate HERE. While I don’t agree with Dixon’s comments on HRC and NAFTA, I do agree that Obama used her comments to his advantage.
I still think the primary debates that were televised on “pay-for” TV were lost to a large portion of the public.
Department of Broken Promises: Obama Closes Door on NAFTA Renegotiation
By BAR Managing Editor Bruce A. Dixon
[During the campaign Barack Obama’s campaign deliberately led supporters to imagine he favored the reopening of the wildly unpopular North American Free Trade Agreement, which most agree has cost millions of jobs, driven down wages in the U.S. and Mexico, increased the gap between rich and poor and driven millions of Mexican farmers off the land, into cities and to the U.S. But reports from the Canadian press were confirmed by the White House yesterday. Obama has no intention of renegotiating NAFTA….]
Check out “Swine Flu” at the Wiki link HERE. It’s particularly interesting to note that most of the flu strains we know today can be traced to the big pandemic that occurred in 1918-1919. Nature is an opportunist and her life is always evolving.

Few sign up to farm abandoned land
By EARTHA JANE MELZER 4/27/09 12:13 PM
[The Michigan Land Bank is offering to lease around 8,000 tax-reverted parcels to people who want to start gardens, but so far few have taken advantage of the program. According to Carrie Lewand-Monroe, executive director of the Michigan Land Bank, only around eight parcels have been leased through the Garden for Growth program. The program is intended to enhance access to affordable fresh foods. Parcels can be leased for 50 dollars per year. About 7,000 of the 8,000 available parcels are located in Wayne Co., Lewand-Monroe said.
A searchable database of available land can be found on the website of Department of Energy, Labor and Economic Growth…]

2009:What Toward, Feminist?

One PUMA’s thoughts about 2009
I do not have time to dally about whether the word “Feminist” is still correct. Suffice to say that I believe it is. That Governor Palin could call herself one, and Michelle Obama had trouble, shows the issue is not one of a leftist usurpation. Feminists right, left or in the middle, cannot cut off other feminists who support parallel position’s. Though I do not agree with Republican views of abortion, or their view of fiscal management or even their idea of care for the disadvantaged, I do find common ground on misogyny, and caucus fraud, election reform, and media bias.
Likewise, though I was outraged at NARAL’s actions, eventually upset with NOW, and disappointed by Steinem’s references to Palin, they are still democratic sisters. They made their best electoral choice. Most of their views are mine.
The problem, as I see it, is not our agreement; it’s how we got here, to this place, as PUMAs. To move forward, we must focus; “keep our eyes on the prize”. Then, it’s the methods in how we move forward. (more…)
