sammy was enjoying himself some ‘UP’ pastries yesterday. so cute. as the italian grandma would’ve said, “eat, eat. good to see such a healthy appetite.” love seeing him advocate so efficiently and decisively for OUR Social Security Trust Fund..it doesn’t belong near “the table” much less ON it. (not looking forward to sleeping on a sidewalk and rummaging through trashcans in old-age)

Here is the Progressive (Pragmatic) Caucus “Back to Work” plan discussed on ‘UP w Chris’ yesterday..

RT @kgcarney: I seriously hope it’s “Down w/ Chris Hayes”. I’ll watch it before bed. And instead of pastries how about glasses of wine?

Did they not post the last part of your conversation on Up? I thought you all were coming back, then it was the Iraq discussion with other guests. It was a great appearance, I loved how you gave the congresswoman the ‘are you kidding?’ face.

I blame the families of these boys who raped. And th society that allowed them to get away with it just as much as the boys. They should know better at 16!
It just shows how little respect they have for girls and women. The families should have taught them respect.

Here is my article about the Stephen Slevin case. No one else has pulled together this information.
The county’s response to the situation is that their lawyer lost the county money because he was working both sides. They’ve had one print article defending the county which was reported on by an online article and then the same lawyer for LCSN got another article printed about it as his op-ed.

cable is d-e-a-d. efforts need to be concentrated on getting fiber-optic community free wifi. maybe one day launching a ‘peoples satellite’ to provide universal free wifi..or somesuch.

Peoples! Must stop Monsanto rider (Sec 735) in the Senate Continuing resolution spending bill. Contact your senatesnores and tell them to support Sen Tester’s Amendment. The rider also known as the ‘Monsanto Protection Act’ allows the boehemoth to supersede environmental laws etc.

I called in Friday and Monday about Stephen Slevin. Here is my article about the corruption in Dona Ana county.

As your main transgender listener (and day late replier) I think it’s important to state that trans rights are on the move, things are getting better thanks to the advocacy of Joe Biden and, yes, even Obama. When I was a kid in the early eighties the only mentions of transsexuals was in porn. Now we have Amanda Simpson Senior Technical Advisor to the Department of Commerce. Unfortunately there are few voices in our corner. Our strides are real but the backlash is heavy and most liberal voices are silent. But that will change too. Thanks MHP for addressing the issue and thank you Sam for not making a joke of it.
My money has been on Alex Wagner but Chris Kornacki is probably the winner.
4:32 pm
I mean seriously It’s like a ghost town with us time travelers. Get lippy people!
4:39 pm
I like Kornacki but honestly, I just had four hours of my weekend freed up. Still waking up to MHP.
