The Power of the People is stronger than the people in power.
- paraphrased from OWS
As schools warm up to the idea of including a child's BMI (Body Mass Index) on his or her report card, perhaps we should evaluate the way we address the issue of childhood obesity. Yes, a high BMI can be dangerous. But as we've seen, the BMI can also be incredibly misleading.
And what are parents supposed to do with this assessment, especially if their children are supposedly receiving quality nutrition from the school? Though this "grade" is intended to help parents be aware of their child's health issues, couldn't it also become just another thing for which a child is teased and bullied?
In the Teaching Tolerance activity Understanding Size Bias, Dr. Rebecca Puhl explores the facets of childhood "obesity" and the societal repercussions while laying the groundwork for parent and teacher discussion.
How would you feel about sending your students (some overweight and some not) home with such a grade?
re: "He ain't heavy, he's my student"
Not just no, but, HELL no!
In schools, overweight children are already teased and bullied mercilessly. The fact that educators ignore these abuses, isn't bad enough, oh no, now they want to, "officially" take part in it!
Any, "action" or, "advocacy" from schools on this issue, should be in the form of a letter from the school nurse to the parents (and hopefully mailed), suggesting solutions. Any weighing of clearly obese kids, should take place privately. And how about getting rid of all the junk foods that schools make available for kids.
Size discrimination is a form of bigotry that's just accepted, across the board. We need much advocacy and education on this issue. How about placing notes on the bullies' report cards, for every time a teacher observes a student taking part in the bullying of another student?

Top 10 Shocking Attacks from the GOP War on Women
1) Republicans not only want to reduce women's access to abortion care, they're actually trying to redefine rape. After a major backlash, they promised to stop. But they haven't.
2) A state legislator in Georgia wants to change the legal term for victims of rape, stalking, and domestic violence to "accuser." But victims of other less gendered crimes, like burglary, would remain "victims."
3) In South Dakota, Republicans proposed a bill that could make it legal to murder a doctor who provides abortion care. (Yep, for real.)
4) Republicans want to cut nearly a billion dollars of food and other aid to low-income pregnant women, mothers, babies, and kids.
5) In Congress, Republicans have proposed a bill that would let hospitals allow a woman to die rather than perform an abortion necessary to save her life.
6) Maryland Republicans ended all county money for a low-income kids' preschool program. Why? No need, they said. Women should really be home with the kids, not out working.
7) And at the federal level, Republicans want to cut that same program, Head Start, by $1 billion. That means over 200,000 kids could lose their spots in preschool.
8) Two-thirds of the elderly poor are women, and Republicans are taking aim at them too. A spending bill would cut funding for employment services, meals, and housing for senior citizens.
9) Congress voted yesterday on a Republican amendment to cut all federal funding from Planned Parenthood health centers, one of the most trusted providers of basic health care and family planning in our country.
10) And if that wasn't enough, Republicans are pushing to eliminate all funds for the only federal family planning program. (For humans. But Republican Dan Burton has a bill to provide contraception for wild horses. You can't make this stuff up).

Women’s Healthcare And Birth Control Services Are Under GOP Attack! South Dakota Proposes, "Justifiable Homicide" Defense For Murdering Abortion Providers. **seriously, this may actually come to a vote!!
"Lord, what fools these mortals be."
With the ENORMOUS problems facing our country, the GOP is busily wasting OUR time and money, by obsessing on controlling women’s reproductive tracts!
Controlling women's bodies has always been the Great Construct of men. These proposed, "new" laws are just a modern continuation of, "droit de seigneur;" the, "right" of Lords to deflower the brides of his vassals.
“Conservatives” and GOP Congressmen surely enjoy their right to Viagra, Cialis and the many drugs, procedures and, “implements” created and marketed to promote a man's erection. Basically, his right to impregnate at will. As have the many men who've spent BILLIONS on researching and creating these products to protect a man's, "erection" rights." And most of these, "products" are covered by insurance, even by Medicare! Yet, women have had to just accept that these same insurers refuse to cover birth control. Thereby forcing women to breed, in a real sense, against their will.
Meanwhile, these obsessed members of Congress are determined to eliminate the one resource available for free, and cost-effective women’s reproductive healthcare: Planned Parenthood. Focusing on fetuses and abortion, instead of women and their right to reproductive healthcare is just misogyny run amok.
The same good people attacking women's rights to their own bodies are the very ones determined to deny healthcare to their children, once delivered!
These same good folks also want to deny the right to a quality education, afterschool programs and healthy foods to the children of hard-pressed parents living on the razor’s edge of poverty.
These same good citizens need to understand that the ONLY, "cure" for ALL abortions is AFFORDABLE and AVAILABLE BIRTH CONTROL, including the, "morning-after pill."
"Does a fetus have any legal protection?" It has the legal protection provided by the womb and the legal rights of its mother. Personally, I loathe, "late-term" abortions, but I know that sometimes, they are the right and heartbreaking decision for the health of the mother. These decisions should be between the women’s doctors and themselves, period!
The Pope is not our king. When are we women going to DEMAND full coverage for women’s reproductive health care, including birth control; on par, at least, with some of the obscene amounts spent towards providing for a man’s erection rights and his, “right” to impregnate at will, too often without consequence or responsibility?

Dewhurst: Education, Medicaid can be saved.
NEW BRAUNFELS (AP) — Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst says spending on public education can be maintained and even increased in the next two-year budget.
Dewhurst also vowed Friday that the state Senate, over which he presides, would not agree to cut Medicaid reimbursement rates for nursing homes. The Republican lieutenant governor’s vision is a far cry from the cringe-inducing cuts headed for a vote in the House next week.
“We can still fund education, the Foundation School Program … at the same appropriated level we’re funding right this second, actually higher,” Dewhurst said at a legislative conference.
Dewhurst said staggering cuts can be avoided by selling state land, reducing certain expenses and raising other “non-tax” revenue.
Which begs the ? Who's gonna tell Perry? That'll blow his hair back! rainj

American Self-Immolators. What Madness Is This?
President Obama MUST do WHATEVER he has to, to protect Social Security! We so need a, "point person," or several persons (NOT the President!) to use the media (a media czar, right!) to get out the TRUE facts on the solvency of Social Security. Especially to the American, "self-immolators;" i.e. the clueless and deceived working class and older Americans who let themselves be seduced by the GOP’s Nazi style propaganda and incendiary rhetoric into, not only voting against their own best interests, but violently demonstrating against them as well!

Sorry, Whoopi,
Just because Mel Gibson has been to your house, "with your kids," doesn't mean he's not a racist. It just means he's granted you the, oh so coveted, "good negro exemption." Also known by our southern friends as the, "good n----r pass." Unfortunately, we (and you) are not yet beyond, "race." Your fame effectively mitigates the issue, to a degree. But, as a dissident caucasian and fierce civil rights activist, I must tell you this, "good" designation, is an exceedingly common racist rationalization.- rainj

They want the American taxpayers to foot the bill for the rest of this decades-long environmental clean up, and for the local economies they're wiping out. Yep, the Republican'ts have gotten at least one thing right, "The Market" certainly, "will take care of itself." How American is that!

Goldman Sachs, along with other huge banks and brokers, by creating toxic mortgage-backed-securities, they knew were unsupportable and betting they would fail, as planned, broke the social contract that makes Democracy possible.
That's the "poison" served by these companies that roiled financial markets and brought the American economy to within a breath of total collapse. And they're STILL selling this same poison.
This unchecked greed must be stopped. The next collapse is already in progress and it may be worse than the last. RainJustice!

Rush, etc, calling Obama a Nazi? How hilarious. Just another, in the LONG series of Republic-Can'ts accusing the Democrats of doing what they are doing. Like, lets see: Sotomayor: racist, Obama: racist, Democrats: fascists, Democrats: anti-senior health programs, anti-workers, anti-business and anti-American. Puh-lease! OK, I said it before, but must need to again: They meant to recreate the WEHRMACHT...In AMERICA. They still do. Make no mistake about it...these are the same fascists (Cheney, Bush, and their mega-wealthy allies), who’ve sabotaged our economy. The economy was not supposed to collapse until after the election, when they had their perfect (perfecter than W) presidential puppet securely in place. But, in their greed and glee, they did their looting too well. The economy tanked before the election, not after, and the American people finally got a look at the men behind the curtain. Guess who? Goering, Speer, Himmler and Hitler, himself. Cheney and these so-called “vulcans” in our corridors of power have been hard at work, as never before. Their goals: To intentionally re-create the economic, military and social unrest of post-world war I Germany, mirroring the vacuum that allowed the Republica… er, Nazi Party to assume absolute control of the country. These fascist-americans, as in Germany, intend use the military to inculcate and control the populace. They do not care about the average american, at all, only those in their "orbit. Unfettered profit-taking, greed and power are their drugs and always, their ultimate goals. That's ALL they care about. They are absolutely, positively following the nazi case study. Now, they've even got their "brownshirts," in Blackwater (now Xe). They've been turning our military into a "religious" SS, for years. (Or, have I got that backwards?) Fifty-plus years of planning and scheming, is all coming together for these; eliteist, imperialistic, anti-democracy, anti-bill of rights, anti-worker, totalitarian-regime-building, American-Freedoms-hating, liars, thieves, and large-scale murderers. Losing the last elections was just a hiccup to them. They've got grand plans for their, "american reich," with the "reich" being salient. And, the "american?" Not so much.

A Lynching By Degrees
Reflections on a prize for peace.
Since when is it not okay to be proud of our duly elected president? How can we not feel grateful and hopeful that our president is a man who is bringing hope back, not only to us, but to the larger world?
Hope that our country is returning to its place in the moral leadership of the peace-seeking nations of our planet.
The fact that other nations recognize this transformative moment and americans don’t, is beyond sad, and highlights how truly misguided and uninformed americans have become.

"Party of 50s Bigotry, Your Table is Not Ready."
"Birthers ta-day, birthers ta-marra and birthers fo-evah!"
People, this is racism. Don't you recognize the hate? Think back to the 1950s and 60s: The firehoses, the attack dogs, the screaming ugliness and violence: "Segregation ta-day, segregation ta-marra, and segregation fo-evah!" Can you hear it now? Look, I'm even older than Barack and I can't get my original "hospital" birth certificate. Believe me, I've tried. Just a few days ago, I received my niece's "official certified" birth certificate, from Austin...same situation and certificate type as mine, from 50+ years ago. And I assure you, it's the "official" record of her birth, as mine is. The corrupted, "Republican't Party" has been oh, so busy, trying to turn their, so-called,"culture war," into a race war. They have no shame and no REAL patriotism, or they wouldn't be so willing to fan the flames of racism, and risk our Union on race warfare. They are inheritors, if you will, of the old southern legacy of hate. And those who deliberately whip racists into a frenzy, which will soon turn violent, are traitors, no less than spies and domestic terrorists. Oh, wait, they ARE domestic terrorists. And cowards, particularly, those "birthers" in Congress.

People, Wake-up! Again. Wonder why Cheney and Limbaugh are still railing? They're auditioning for Hitler's old job.
Unfortunately, having lost the last election, Dr. Strangelove (Cheney) and Hermann Goering (Limbaugh) are forced to compete for the same position, that of American Reich-Chancellor (Der Fuhrer). However, one of them will have to settle for being Reich-Marshall (Goering). The tubby Mr. Limbaugh is the obvious "fit" for the latter. Since he has no sons, the soulless Mr. Cheney intends to secure the position of "America's Fuhrer" for himself, his ethically-challenged son-in-law or his daughter. Then, to continue his Empire, to his grandchildren. Seriously. - rainj

To those in OUR Congress who are fighting against healthcare reform:
Shame, shame, shame on you! The American people have made it clear that they want healthcare insurance reform. Our economy cannot truly recover without REAL healthcare reform. Home foreclosures are, most often, caused by medical bills and untreated illnesses, due to the lack of affordable and effective health insurance coverage. Businesses can no longer afford the lost productivity caused by uncovered and "under"covered employees who can't get the health care they and their families need. A "public-option" must be available to compete with the big insurance carriers, and FORCE them to lower consumer costs. That's the ONLY way they will ever REALLY lower costs and increase coverage. Remember: With the insurance industry, "The Large Print Giveth and the Small Print Taketh Away." Always. ALWAYS. Congress created this stranglehold on ill, injured and hard-working Americans, by selling out to Big Pharma and the medical/insurance lobbyists. Why don't you "public" servants try proving that the insurance lobby doesn't buy your votes with their contributions to your coffers, by voting AGAINST the insurance companies and Big Pharma for a change, a change we can really believe in. Competition, per the, "public option,” is the only viable mechanism to lower consumer costs and force fair and just profits in the medical and insurance markets.

Senator, your white sheet is showing. Re: Sotomayor challenge blows up in Sessions' face.
Oo-whee, that was some puh-roud southern-fried-racism, Senator Sessions. That's the republican party now, isn't it? The changing ethnic makeup of America from lily white to everything but, has got the bigoted, powers that "were," losing their little minds. Right, Mr. Secession? Most caucasian-americans have no idea what the term, "white privilege" means, let alone that they have benefited inestimably from it for their entire lives. We "enlightened" white folk; i.e. culturally sensitives, sometimes seem as rare as republicans at a Michael Moore film. Mr. Secession was just speaking in his "traditional," southern-racist style. I mean, how can there possibly be a race war without whipping up the poor whites in the south? That's the time "honored," racist tradition. Of course, racists and Dick Cheney and his whole, "world domination" clique are desirous of any war. A race war would be the most expedient. That, so they can then use their private military, Blackwater, and the religious zealots and white racists in our military and intelligence apparatus, (who are now practically a scary separate branch!) to seize complete control of our country. As their German role models did. (Abu Ghraib was just practice!) A race war would work SO perfectly for them. Just one more page from their "national socialist"(NAZI) playbook. Pay Attention. They are following it to a T. And, once again, the poor, the working class whites and the southern racists are just another, "pawn in their game." Right, Senator? That's the damn trick that never fails. -rainj

A living wage, if not now when?
“A self-supporting and self-respecting democracy can plead no...economic reason for chiseling workers' wages... Enlightened business is learning that competition ought not to cause bad social consequences, which inevitably react upon the profits of business itself.” -- Franklin Roosevelt, “A Fair Day's Pay for a Fair Day's Work,” 1937.

Man in the Mirror, a Molester. No Wonder He Couldn't Sleep.
Yes, MJ was a musical and entertainment genius. His impact on pop culture cannot be overstated. He was also a HUGE role model for black children. He let them down, as so many of their role models have. It's sad that he didn't take his responsibility to black children to heart, instead of taking them to bed. His early death may mean that some child(ren) will not be molested. I'm thankful for that. -rainj

Hey Panetta, remember Iran Contra, Charlie Wilson's war, and reams of other misleadings of Congress while the CIA hid behind their "covert" status. Get real, the CIA's business IS deception, so of course Congress got cuckolded too. The "final solution" to the Bush "virus" is the truth told in the light of day to the American people.

AYATOLLAH AMERICA?
Evangelical Cancer in U.S. Military"The Pentagon has apparently, secretly “fallen” to a christian evangelical group, the so called, “christian embassy”. This group is actually treated as a “quasi-federal entity”(!) Its stated mission is to convert colonels and generals so they can mold cadets in "faithfulness" to their“evangelical” uses. Thereby taking ultimate control of our military. To what end do they aspire? What do you think they want with our military? Can you say, Ayatollah America? This is not new. This has actually been going on for a long time. There is really an evangelical cancer in the military, says Reza Aslan. “There is a deliberate attempt by a group of evangelicals in the higher- echelons, to create what they call “military missionaries." Due to proselytizing and constant evangelizing, "the Air Force Academy is now, practically a seminary"! *If this doesn't scare you & enrage you, you must be blind from your nose outward & dead from your eyebrows up. rainj

Greedy consumers? Ha! Bankers and "executives" raped our economy.
Greedy consumers? Ha! Bankers and "executives" raped our economy.The major cause of this financial meltdown, is years and years of republican fueled de-regulation and market manipulation. The straw that finally broke our economy's back was the Feds decision in 2002, allowing banks to free-up, for speculation, the cash reserves each lender must maintain to back up expenditures; i.e. loans guaranteed. Giddy with victory, the wealthiest and greediest one percent of Americans and their counterparts in the shadow-machine of World Fascism, zeroed in on American credit accounts and taxpayer monies as a fat cash-cow for fees, fees and more fees. These monies were laundered through local and ever-larger banks, mortgage lenders and small businesses, creating a free for all and win for all... well, except for consumers, of course. It’s not about greed though, rather, helping people achieve "The American Dream." Right? Right. And, it's nothing like any old shell game or PONZI scheme, either. That reminds me, you can even win by losing and who doesn’t love that? You still get your percentage, lending fees and delicious add-ins, plus the aperitif of a rip-snortin’ 'gubmint' bail-out... Yee-Haw! It’s the gift that never has to end. Fascism, that is. Cognac? - rainj.

Perfect bio-energy? Mixed Prairie Grasses.
The perfect bioenergy is “cellulosic” biofuels that can be made from non-food sources of biomass such as grasses and agricultural waste. These could, if developed properly, take a big bite out our carbon footprint from the fuels sector. Mixed prairie grasses are, so far, the optimum cellulosic energy source and can actually recover and restore soil that has been overused and depleted of nutrients!
Corn is Wrong.
Rushing to Expand Corn Ethanol is Not Smart Bioenergy. The use of gasoline alternatives, such as ethanol, could play a key role in reducing pollution from fuels, but scientific findings show that biofuels can also increase pollution when done wrong. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is developing a comprehensive plan to move toward biofuels with reduced global warming emissions while protecting air quality.
Tell EPA "cellulosic" biofuels are best.
The EPA opened a public comment period on this issue through May 16. Please tell EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson to deny the corn producers’ premature request and focus on a comprehensive plan that protects public health while ensuring biofuels contribute to fueling our clean energy future. Please make your letter personal by adding in your own thoughts and concerns. Every letter makes a difference! RainJustice

Good morning America. Wake up and smell the JUSTICE!
Thanks to you, my fellow patriots, America is FINALLY waking up and beginning to live up to it's creed that ALL men (and women) are created equal. It's a great day for our Democracy, our People and the World. Now JUSTICE can begin to "roll like a mighty stream." As my hero and role-model, Dr. King declared: "THIS will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with a new meaning, "My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring." And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania! Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado! Let freedom ring from the curvaceous peaks of California! But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia! Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee! Let freedom ring from every hill and every molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring."- Dr Martin Luther King.

World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.
'I do not know with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.'- Albert EinsteinThe idea of achieving security through national armament is, at the present state of military technique, a disastrous illusion.Imagination is more important than knowledge.

Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds'- Einstein

"The price of freedom is eternal vigilance."-Thomas Jefferson
A free press is supposed to be a cornerstone of our democracy. But journalists are being arrested at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn. for just trying to do their jobs. Award winning journalist and host of "Democracy Now" Amy Goodman was arrested by St. Paul police while covering a protest outside the Republican National Convention. Though clearly identified as press, Goodman was charged with "obstruction of a legal process" and interference with a 'peace officer.' Two of her producers were arrested for "suspicion of felony riot." The police behavior is beyond appalling and completely inconsistent with free media in a free democracy. We must not be silent, we must not be blind. Remember: "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance." Do we already have state-run television "news"? (Oh, I forgot about "Fox Pews", the "religious" right's daily crack pipe.) NBC, CNN, et al, execute your primary function!

"NOW is the time for all good men (and women) to come to the aid of their country"
Dems determined to lose again: Joe Biden? I mean, Joe freakin' Biden? He's gonna help Obama take back the white house and the country? Uh-uh. No. Nada. Not gonna happen. What groups of voters are going to be drawn to vote for Biden and Obama? Original hippie chicks and dudes? Maybe. But that's a fractured "demo". Why couldn't the "Dems" at least pick someone like Clinton, who has millions of supporters, and is possibly the only way Obama can win. Or, how about something really smart like democrat-in-name only, Joe Lieberman? He would bring in the massive Jewish and pro-Israel vote. But, no. The Democratic National Committee hasn't enough experience at picking a winning presidential ticket? Is that it? To the DNC; Do you not know that the republican "conservatives" and the ideologues who brought us Iraq, spying on regular Americans internet, phone, and library usage have brought us to the brink of totalitarianism. Or do you prefer "neo-fascism"? Does the "neo" part sound new and hip? People, people, the "bushies" and their ilk have rendered our beloved American Democracy into an almost unrecognizable "banana republic". (As in, Venezuela.) I can't write more because of the tears. I can only say what was said before; Now more than ever, "Now is the time for all good men (and women) to come to the aid of their country". As our beloved Democracy sinks, our beautiful lady liberty weeps.Pray and VOTE against "republicans/war-profiteers/fascists".

Hardballer
Power to the PUMAS! Those cats can really scratch. I used to watch Hardball for the political content. I became increasingly bothered by Matthews, nearly-constant, sexist treatment of women. Women on the Matthews show are routinely spoken over by male commentators and ignored by Matthews. His "hard on" (to use his vernacular) for Hillary Clinton, has caused him to show his sneering, sexist attitude. The man behind the curtain is Chris Matthews. And if he's not attracted to a female commentator, HIS claws can come out. Maybe he should stick to a manly domain, like sports. RainJ
