I hope the reporter in this first article has only committed a journalistic fuzzy. I just don’t want to think the world is only just now catching this wave. (more…)

To reiterate, buzz words like small donors, and grassroots, really are meaningless in this election cycle. Even the Center for Responsive Politics conflates donor and donations in this article below. Individual contributions are counted by the FEC when a person has donated one or more times for an amount of money that reaches or exceeds $200.

Many people, myself included, sent donations via credit card on a monthly basis. As soon as the $200 threshold is reached, every donation thereafter, whether $10 or $1000, is counted as an individual contribution. Yet, those amounts still come from one donor. (more…)

Finally, gray skies and a glorious California rain! As one who is in the construction industry, I know there are workers everywhere, scrambling with blue tarps, tie downs and tape. They worked to the last minute. They worry whether that last coating is dry enough. Others are wondering if they will be called in the middle of the night to stop a leak, or have to secure that swing stage banging about in the after-storm wind.

No matter, it’s a glorious rain!

I’ll just say it. We’ve done better at housekeeping than now. I gave up beating myself about it, because I’ve had other things on my mind, like traveling daily a hundred miles or more for my job, or spending time on my business or the myriad other things that must get shoved into too little time.

However, occasionally someone in our family finds it; a couple slices of bread, an english muffin, left still wrapped and forlorn after a month’s sojourn in the cupboard.

I buy only brown, I buy mostly organic. Yet there it sits, still soft and not a speckling of mold. SOMETHING IS WRONG!

Is this a metaphor?

-UPDATE-

Rocky Mountain News has reported that the advertisement cost of this event for a wannabe president was 4 million.

They’ve called him a Lightworker and the Messiah. If you thought that was whooey, an opposing reason has turned up! You should know about the separatists, who keep trying to divide California. It’s been going on for years. It’s really just another devious plot to engender partisan separatism. See, Lightworkers and the Messiah complex are all about Northern California; specifically the Bay Area.

What’s going to happen tonight, is all about Southern California, North Hollywood, and specifically, Tony Robbins!

Frankly, even though I live in Northern California, I like the Robbins explanation better. I’d prefer not to have these factions fighting when Arnold just told us he’s going to have to raise taxes, and cut back schools.

Make a statement. Watch “Pushing Up Daisies” tonight, instead of being a party to the ‘THE GREAT COMING”. Why does anyone need to spend another 1 million to sell you? Support the channel that didn’t go there. Or, if you just can’t, watch PBS, or READ A BOOK!

It’s always more clear, later, in the transcript of the words. After all, isn’t that what he has to adhere to? His word? If you just have to watch, download the PDF in the link first, and stand prepared!

The ACLU launched a voter outreach program today. It’s a little late for most states in terms of registration for the Presidential Election on November 4th

However, there is still some good information to be gleaned from their page HERE.

They have provided a map with information to be downloaded for each state and Washington DC. I downloaded a voter pamphlet from California. It took about 2 minutes on dial up. Since I have a Mac, the downloads are always interesting. Using Firefox, the download went directly to my desktop. Those of us that have Safari, or maybe some other system, always have to stare at a black or blank page for those two minutes. It’s disconcerting when the bottom of the page tells you your page has failed to load. Bear with it. Eventually you’ll get a two page fold out card. To print it, you’ll have to run it twice.

In any event, just to read what it says, zoom the page, and you’ll find fascinating information on your rights. These include your legal rights if you are homeless, are currently or have been incarcerated. Many who have been through the penal system can currently vote. However, it depends on the state and your conviction.

If you missed the deadline to register for this election, plan for the next.
