Labor Day

Some of us are barbequing; others are having a little less fun:

The National Oceanic of Atmospheric Administration, (NOAA) runs the National Weather Service and they are keeping track of Gustaf, Hanna and ol’ Number Nine: HERE.

Riverdaughter has the Red Cross number to call:

Animal rescue has authority to enter New Orleans with the other workers. This time animals are being evacuated with their people. Donate or volunteer if you can and adopt or foster an animal. Even if it’s not a hurricane survivor, your act makes room in the agencies for those that will come. Go to ARNO, and the SPCA. (more…)

Tuesday night my Hubby and I were getting ready for his hernia surgery, so I didn’t get to do much more than watch the Convention on PBS. I do want to mention a couple of things, however. I don’t recall ever having a well-spoken sister give voice as character witness to a presumptive nominee before. David Brooke said again that Obama needs to tell the voters who he is. DAVID, WE KNOW WHO HE IS!!! What a truly odd thing that we voters must again be subject to the homilies of family, when what we want is to know once and for all whether “Hope and Change” has any sort of resonance beyond the fairy tale Camelot Re-enactment. It isn’t so odd that the Obamacons object to the critics. (more…)

PUMA POWER, so Far

Posted in Politics, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on August 24, 2008| Leave a Comment »

As Darraugh Murphy said, We ARE the ones no one was expecting! 

Riverdaughter articulated the idea well with her inaugural article in June:

http://riverdaughter.wordpress.com/2008/06/02/monday-puma-power/

If accomplishments and events are markers for our life, it seems like this weekend is a good time to put a few together in one list.

Puma PAC and coalition members have assembled in Denver. Activities and links to other groups can be found on the I Own My Vote, Just Say No Deal, Puma Pac, and The Denver Group websites. Offices are set up, and media in the ready, on site bloggers are active NOW. The organization of these groups, assembled since June, is testament to real grassroots, and not the Obama AstroTurf to which we have been subjected the last several months. (more…)

UPDATE

Well, its now 2:00 PM PDT, and so far it looks like McCain is the only one of the big three, that got his monthly report in early enough for the FEC to tabulate this morning. The new sums for Clinton and Obama are reflected in the Campaign Finance Maps. Go HERE and click the relevant buttons to see the progress so far. Dennis Kucinich by the way, got his in. (more…)

Truth in Advertising: Part Two

The Secret of Obama’s Campaign Success, Soft Money

In Part One I showed you how to find Senator Obama’s contributions on the FEC website. Following the drill downs, you saw not only the tabulations of his total contributions, but also the number of individual contributions. You saw how the number of contributions below an aggregate sum of $200 is contained in the remainder of “Net Contributions”, after “Party Transfers” and “Individual Contributions”, (Aggregate donations from donors, meeting the $200 threshold.), are deducted.

Depending on how many people you assign to this remainder, the TOTAL number of contributors is still probably less than 300,000. This does not correspond with the July Campaign claims of 1.5 million contributors. If you missed it, or are still unsure, check back HERE. Otherwise, keep reading.

Monday Ketchup – 080818

Posted in Politics, tagged , , , , , , , , on August 18, 2008| Leave a Comment »

It appears that attempts in Colorado, to drive HRC delegates into the corral are still ongoing. No, it’s not the Lt. Col. Karen Wagner that was killed in the Pentagon attack on 9/11. This Karen Wagner recently left her job as Commissioner citing harassment. Odd pattern anomalies arise surfing the web.  It’s just the kind of thing that feeds mysticism and portent reading. See:

Clintonites should get with the program
