So far,

I've ignored Occupy Wall St, but it's getting kind of hard to not notice. In my opinion it's a movement to return power to the people, as our founders meant it to be, and take it back from the corporations and lobbyists who actually control things. It is NOT anti-capitalism, but rather an effort to level the playing field. Corporations AREN'T people no matter what the Repubs want us to believe in their efforts to'buy' public opinion with HUGE amounts of cash, through PACs and Super PACs, with no accountability. There's way too many Jack Abramoffs still out there, who 'own' way too many Congressmen. Will be interesting to see what happens to the OWS movement as it faces the freezing temps of winter. There was a huge 'We Are the 99%' crowd out in Broomfield's largest intersection, today. Was really surprised...

OK, I was wrong about the cops who were injured. I made the same mistake I rail about, getting my 'facts' from a biased source. The cops, it seems, actually were injured by the protesters. Any movement of this size is gonna have some bad apples.

Not all of the 1% are bad an not all the 99% is good. Look in the mirror.

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...
