Moore On Maddow Live, Obama Signs The Repeal Of “DADT”
Posted by Michelle Moquin on December 22nd, 2010
Good morning!
So…has anyone been watching Rachel Maddow’s “Leadership in America” live show @ 92Y the past two days? Last night she interviewed Michael Moore. If you didn’t catch the segment, here it is.
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Readers: I haven’t blogged about Wikileaks at all here, and it has been one of the hot topics in the media. What has been on your mind in respect to all of the chatter? Do you agree Moore in regards to full disclosure of our government? What do you think of the date rape charges against Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks?
I can say one thing, I loved what Michael Moore had to say about supporting women who have been raped and abused in our society. I wish there were more men like him that would stand up and fight in support of the plight.
And almost last but certainly not least, I want to recognize that Obama signed the appeal “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”. Yay! – This is a day for celebration!
I tried to post the video of Obama’s speech but unfortunately had no luck. Click here to see.
Thoughts? You know what to do – Blog me.
Anonymous: Well…in regards to the compliments, all I can say is…Thank you - a girl loves to be recognized and appreciated. As far as what you would like to do….all is can say is…Stand in line. :)
Morris: Okay. I hear you. “Maybe” I will be, as Lloyd puts it, “forthcoming with the 411″, the next time I’m “going to a party at…”. HOPE is always good. I speak of HOPE a lot here, so I guess there is no reason why my readers can’t HOPE too. :) Season’s Greeting to you as well!
Bob: Oh, I laughed at that one, but I know I shouldn’t.
Peter: Gee, I wonder why anyone would try to veto a bill that would protect children from abuse? Sickening. Just when will that Cardinal be ousted? Hafa Adai.
Terri: That has never stopped any man from trying.
PEacE OUt…
Lastly, greed over a great story is surfacing from my “loyal”(?) readers. With all this back and forth about who owns what, that appears on my blog, let me reiterate that all material posted on my blog becomes the sole property of my blog. If you want to reserve any proprietary rights don’t post it to my blog. I will prominently display this caveat on my blog from now on to remind those who may have forgotten this notice.
Gratefully your blog host,

Cut Your Grocery Bill in Half
Stephanie Nelson
CouponMom.com
Many family budgets have been stretched, due to the weak economy. Trimming grocery bills is a great way to fight back, but too often shoppers make mistakes and end up paying more than they need to.
Here, the most common shopping mistakes and what to do instead…
Mistake: Assuming sale prices are attractive prices. Supermarket sale circulars often contain some great deals — but they usually have many items priced at or near their regular prices as well.
The store’s hope is that shoppers will snap up any advertised “special” without noticing how little they’re saving.
Don’t go out of your way to purchase a product unless the sale price is at least 50% below the regular price (or buy-one-get-one-free).
If the price reduction is more modest and you’re not picky about brands, you probably will get a better deal if you wait a bit for it to go on sale.
Mistake: Shopping in the wrong department. Prices on very similar goods can vary significantly from one section of the supermarket to another. Examples…
Cheese can cost twice as much in the deli or gourmet section as it does in the dairy section. The brands might be different, but the quality usually is just as good.
I compared costs at my supermarket for feta, blue cheese, goat cheese, Vermont cheddar and Parmesan and found that the dairy-case versions cost as much as 63% less than the gourmet-cheese options.
Also, within the deli department itself, prices can vary greatly. In my grocery store’s deli department, prepackaged sliced cheese is more expensive than cheese sliced at the counter.
Example: An eight-ounce package of deli-sliced American cheese sold next to the deli counter costs $4.99, which is $9.98 per pound.
I can buy the same cheese if I am willing to take the time to have it sliced for $5.99 per pound ($2.99 per pound when it’s on sale).
Nut prices in the produce, snack and baking sections can differ. I compared the price of pecans, walnuts and almonds sold in one-pound bags in the produce department to the same type of nuts sold in one-pound bags in the baking aisle at the same store.
Almonds were 27% less expensive and walnuts were 14% less expensive in the baking aisle. But pecans were 29% less expensive in the produce section than in the baking aisle, so you have to check carefully.
Salsa often is more expensive in the snack aisle than in the condiments aisle. There almost always is at least one brand of salsa on sale, but it tends not to be the one that the supermarket puts on display by the chips.
Organic foods found in supermarket organic aisles usually are substantially more expensive than those shelved among nonorganic goods elsewhere in the store.
Mistake: Buying 10 when a store offers 10 for $10. Unless the store specifically says that you must purchase 10 (or another number that’s mentioned) to get the sale price, 10 for $10 means that you could buy one for $1 if you prefer. Stores price items this way because it tricks shoppers into buying more than they want.
At some grocery stores, you don’t even have to buy two when the sale is buy-one-get-one-free. If the store’s registers ring up each item in a buy-one-get-one-free offer at half price, rather than one at full price and the other at $0, you likely will get the 50%-off price even if you buy just one. Ask at the customer service desk at your supermarket if you’re not certain.
Bonus: If your supermarket rings up both items in a buy-one-get-one-free offer at half price and you have two coupons for the item, you can redeem both coupons. (If one rings up at full price and the other for free, you can use only one coupon.)
Mistake: Assuming items shelved on supermarket aisle endcaps and display islands are special deals. These locations attract a lot of attention, so supermarkets prefer to fill them with high-volume or high-margin items, not sale items that don’t earn them much profit.
Be especially wary if an endcap or island display features several different but related items. One of these might be on sale while the rest are at regular prices. The supermarket hopes that the brightly colored sale tags on the display will confuse shoppers into thinking that all the items are discounted, which often is not the case.
Example: A display in the fruit aisle might include a sale price on strawberries but regular prices on shortcakes and whipped cream.
Mistake: Not watching as prices are rung up at the register. Supermarkets adjust the prices of thousands of items each week. Inevitably, some of those changes are not correctly programmed into their computers.
Watch the register readout carefully as items are scanned to catch mistakes as they happen. Then skim your receipt for any mistakes you may have missed — preferably before leaving the store.
Some stores have a policy that if an item is rung up incorrectly, the customer gets the item for free. This policy may not be publicized, so be sure to ask at your store.
Mistake: Assuming that there’s a one-coupon-per-item limit. Most grocery stores let shoppers use both a manufacturer’s coupon and a store coupon on the same item if both happen to be available.
At BJ’s Wholesale Clubs (800-257-2582, http://www.bjs.com), shoppers even can use multiple manufacturers’ coupons on the same purchase when multiple units of the item are packaged together. (The other major wholesale clubs currently do not accept manufacturers’ coupons.)
Example: If BJ’s sells applesauce in packages containing three jars, you could redeem up to three applicable coupons.
Some supermarkets let shoppers use expired coupons… or store coupons offered by different stores. These tend to be unadvertised policies, so ask a cashier or at the service desk. (These policies are most likely to be offered by supermarkets that do not double coupons.)
Mistake: Forgetting to peel off instant-use coupons on packages.
Manufacturers sometimes attach coupons directly to products for instant savings. Why do they do this rather than just lower the product’s price? Because 60% of these on-package coupons are not redeemed.
Shoppers either forget about the coupon by the time they reach the register… or erroneously assume that the cashier will peel the coupon off and ring it up.
Cashiers are trained to move fast and might not even notice these coupons, so it is up to you to remember.
Mistake: Thinking the largest-sized package will be the best deal. Frequently, smaller packages cost less per ounce or per unit.
This is particularly true with sale-priced breakfast cereal, canned tuna, milk and diapers. Compare the per-ounce or per-unit prices listed on the shelf price tag.
If you have a coupon that is valid for any size, the smallest package often is the best deal.
Example: A coupon offering $1 off any size of a particular brand of pasta sauce lowers the cost of the $2.50 45-ounce jar to 3.3 cents per ounce… or the cost of the $1.50 26-ounce jar to 1.9 cents per ounce.
Mistake: Not adhering to the five-minute rule when buying prepared foods.
Supermarkets charge hefty premiums for the convenience of cooked, cut or washed foods. When the prep time involved is five minutes or less, I find it’s worth it to do the prep myself.
Examples: Buy a head of lettuce rather than a bag of washed and cut lettuce. Buy block cheese rather than shredded cheese. Buy whole fruit rather than cut fruit.
You’ll not only save money, you usually will get better quality. Supermarkets generally slice up older or bruised fruit and vegetables that wouldn’t otherwise sell. And cut or shredded foods often spoil faster.
Mistake: Ignoring wholesale club deals that are available to nonmembers. In most states, even if you don’t join a wholesale club, the club’s pharmacy legally is required to fill your prescription at the member price.
(Call wholesale clubs in your region to ask if this is true where you live.) Costco and Sam’s Club pharmacies typically charge substantially lower prices than the chain pharmacies.
(BJ’s no longer has pharmacies.) Costco’s pharmacy prices can even be checked online in advance (www.costco.com, click “Pharmacy,” then “Drug Pricing”). Call your local Sam’s Club pharmacy for prices.
In some states, wholesale clubs also are required to sell beer and wine to nonmembers at the member price (as well as liquor, if it is offered).
Wholesale clubs’ beer prices tend to be about 10% lower than those of other merchants… and their wine prices can be 35% lower on their more expensive bottles.

Michelle, this is indeed a day for celebration. I have been waiting anxiously for this day. I am currently up for discharge because I was outed by a “friend.”
We were both up for promotion. When I received it over him, he turned me in.
Now, thanks to President Obama’s making good on his campaign promise, I will get to stay.

Charles Belle sent me this. If you have a 529 College savings plan, this could be very interesting.
=========================
WAYS TO MAXIMIZE 529 FUNDS
Section 529 college savings plans have been around since 1996, making the concept older than most of the students who will theoretically benefit from the money when it’s withdrawn in the future.
And that is indeed the nettlesome question: When and how that money is taken out, because the how and when can make a big difference in how much is left over for those students and their families, especially if the funds are used for purposes beyond higher education expenses.
Here’s how your clients can maximize the funds they net from 529 withdrawals made in the most common scenarios.
Qualified Withdrawals
Withdrawals from the 529 account avoid taxation if there are matching qualified higher education expenses incurred by the account beneficiary in the year of the withdrawal.
The definition of “qualified” includes tuition, fees, books, supplies and equipment required for enrollment or attendance at an eligible higher education institution, as well as room and board for students who are attending an eligible institution at least half-time.
The classification of an “eligible” higher education institution is generally limited to those that can participate in federal student aid programs, but that encompasses almost all four-year, most two-year, and several trade and vocational schools throughout the country.
Any money taken from a 529 account will generate a 1099-Q form by February 1st of the year after the withdrawal is taken. The form will go to both the recipient of the check and the IRS, and will break down how much of the amount withdrawn was from principal, and how much was earnings.
Non-qualified withdrawals (with gains)
Even if there are no qualifying higher education expenses to offset any taxes and penalties incurred on a withdrawal from a 529 account that’s worth more than the amount deposited, the toll is probably less than the account owner might anticipate.
If the client withdraws the entire account balance at once, she only owes taxes and penalties on the “gain” portion of the account.
So if she originally deposited $10,000 and it grew to $15,000 before she withdrew it, she would only be taxed and penalized on the $5,000 gain. Depending on her federal and state income tax brackets, the total might be no more than a few thousand dollars on the $15,000 withdrawal.
If she instead chooses to withdraw just a portion of the account, she has to pro-rate the gains based on the percentage of the 529 balance that is withdrawn.
For instance, if the client in the above example were to take just $5,000 from the $15,000 account, the gain portion of the withdrawal (on which she would owe tax and penalties) would be about $1,666.
These pro-rated figures need to be tracked against future partial or full withdrawals, as well as coordinated with future contributions. The potential ongoing tax nightmare means many clients in this situation may be better off making non-qualified withdrawals from 529s an “all or nothing” proposition.
One way 529 account owners may be able to minimize income taxes (but not penalties) is to have the withdrawals paid directly to the student beneficiary, who may be in a lower tax bracket than the account owner (usually a parent or grandparent).
However, handing the money over to the student should be considered only after reviewing potential ramifications for loss of control, financial aid, and triggering of a gift tax.
After a student is finished with college, there may still be an unused balance left in a profitable 529 account. If so, clients may be disappointed to find out that “paying off student loans” is not a qualified use of proceeds.
However, expenses incurred by a student enrolled in a graduate or doctoral program will generally meet the criteria for a qualified withdrawal. So it may serve the family to leave the assets untouched for future educational uses.
Depending on the family’s situation, they may even be able to transfer any unused balance to another family member beneficiary with no consequences from the gift or income tax.
Non-qualified Withdrawals (with losses)
Since taxes and penalties are only applied to the “gain” portion of non-qualified withdrawals made from 529 accounts, clients with net losses in their 529 accounts can take the entire amount out for any reason, without fear of any insults added to their financial injury.
Those realized losses can’t be deducted according to the traditional rules regarding capital gains and losses. But there still may be a way to use the losses to offset taxable income.
The IRS says realized losses in a 529 account can be classified as a “miscellaneous itemized deduction” on Schedule A of the 1040. When grouped with other expenses that fit into the category, the amount that exceeds 2 percent of the client’s adjusted gross income can be used to offset taxable income.
However, like most tax-related matters, there is more to the story. First, the entire 529 account must be liquidated. Second, the gain or loss must be paired with those realized through withdrawals taken in the same year from other 529 accounts.
Third, the deduction for the net loss might be phased out for high-income individuals, and lost completely if the account owner is subject to the alternative minimum tax.
Fourth, the account owner may lose some or all of the deductible loss if she opens a new 529 account within 61 days of liquidating the old one, and the IRS deems the liquidation and subsequent deposit as a “rollover.”
Finally, the account owner may have to repay any state income tax benefits or credits that were received when the original deposit to the 529 account was made.
More Information
The first step in determining the status of 529 withdrawals is to review the Department of Education’s list of qualifying higher education institutions at ope.ed.gov/accreditation/.
You can determine which higher education expenses qualify for tax-free withdrawals from a 529 with the help of Publication 970 at http://www.irs.gov.
While you’re at that site, you might want to peruse the particulars of miscellaneous itemized deductions, available in Topic 500 and Publication 529.
Please call if you have an questions.

Repealing “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”; Extending Unemployment Benefits and Tax Cuts; Senate Fails to Advance DREAM Act
December 20, 2010
This weekend, the Senate followed the House’s lead and voted to repeal the discriminatory “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy by a vote of 65 to 31.
This landmark vote closes the door on a fundamental unfairness and repeals a policy that does not contribute to our national security.
Ending “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” reflects a core principle in our nation: that anyone who wishes to serve, secure, and defend this country should be welcomed, judged by their abilities, and honored for their sacrifice.
Congresswoman Pelosi speaks on the House floor in support of repealing “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”
For too long, this ban has kept patriotic Americans from serving in the U.S. Armed Forces because of their sexual orientation.
As a result, more than 13,000 men and women in uniform have been discharged from the military – fighter pilots, infantry officers, Arabic translators, and other specialists — at a time when our nation is fighting two wars. Thousands more have decided not to re-enlist.
Support for repeal has come from every corner of our country. Recent polling shows that 8 in 10 Americans say that gays and lesbians who disclose their sexual orientation should be allowed to serve in the military, and the Department of Defense recently released a report favoring the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”
America has always been the land of the free and the home of the brave. We are so because of our brave men and women in uniform.
By repealing “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” we honor their service and we reiterate our firm belief that, no matter whom you love, all soldiers fight under the same flag.
Extending Unemployment Benefits and Tax Cuts
On Thursday, the House passed the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 by a vote of 277 to 148. President Obama signed it into law on Friday.
Democrats fought to include initiatives that protect middle and working-class families, including tax cuts for the middle class across the board and a 13-month extension of unemployment benefits.
These benefits will help those that need it most and will be spent immediately to keep their families afloat as they look for work – injecting demand into our economy and creating jobs.
Unfortunately, Republicans demanded that the top 2 percent in our country get an extra tax cut – adding billions of dollars to the deficit and not creating any jobs.
To add insult to injury, before they would support tax cuts that benefit 155 million Americans, they added an estate tax provision of $23 billion in benefits for the 6,600 wealthiest families in America.
With that $23 billion, we could triple our research in cancer and diabetes. We could give a $7,000 raise to every public schoolteacher in America.
We could invest in new technology and create jobs. Instead, we are giving a bonanza to 6,600 of the wealthiest people in America who really do not need the help.
While Republicans held benefits for the majority of Americans hostage to protect the interests of the wealthiest few, Democrats continue to stand with middle and working class families and support legislation that grows the economy, is fiscally responsible, and creates good-paying jobs.
Senate Fails to Advance the DREAM Act
On Saturday, the Senate failed to advance the DREAM Act – a bill that would have offered a path to legalization to immigrant minors who were brought to our country by their undocumented parents. This bill passed the House with bipartisan support.
Though disappointed by the result of the DREAM Act vote in the Senate, we are not deterred in our determination to continue advocating for this critical legislation.
We will keep fighting to advance comprehensive immigration reform, and to fulfill our pledge to the hundreds of thousands of young people who call our nation home and strive to take part in the American Dream.
Congratulating the Giants
Last week, I introduced a resolution of the House congratulating the San Francisco Giants on their 2010 World Series Championship victory.
Their unforgettable win continues to be a point of pride for our City. Our entire community united to root for the Giants and turned out in massive numbers to celebrate their victory.
The Giants’ phenomenal team effort, superb coaching, and die-hard fans combined to transform a group of “castoffs and misfits” into an inspiration for the nation.

A man went to the doctor and said, “I was thinking about getting a vasectomy.”
“That’s a big decision.” said the doctor.
“Have you talked about it with your family?”
“Yea,” said the man. “They”re in favor of it 15 to 7.”

Q: Has today’s high price of gasoline affected the calculation of whether it’s best to lease or buy a new vehicle?
A: Yes — it surprisingly creates a leasing opportunity for people who choose to drive SUVs and other low-gas-mileage vehicles, such as large sedans and many sports cars.
The big rise in gas prices has slashed the market value of SUVs. For those who own them, loss of thousands of dollars of resale value can be even worse than the increased cost of driving them.
But if you need an SUV, you now can buy or lease one at lower-than-ever cost (which can offset the high gas cost of driving it).
And if you lease a new SUV, risk of further loss in its value falls upon the leasing company. If the price of gas drops, reversing its price effect on SUVs, you might even have the option to buy the leased vehicle at what’s then a bargain price.
The same holds true for other kinds of low-gas-mileage vehicles.

I think the government framed Julian Assange. They did it to get him out of the way. If he manages to get acquitted, his reputation is still stained.
Accusing him of rape causes him to lose some people who would otherwise have come out to support him. Many high powered dems now will not risk supporting him.
The people’s right to know what their government is up to has been further limited.

I read a portion of Nancy Pelosi’s statement above where she claims that “Democrats continue to stand with middle and working class families and support legislation that grows the economy, is fiscally responsible, and creates good-paying jobs.”
My question to Pelosi is if the dems are the defenders of the middle class how come the middle class voted them out in favor of republicans who promised to give $23 billion dollars to 6,600 of the riches americans in the country?

Today the last of California’s 58 counties will complete their vote counts, and we have won!
Your support throughout this journey has been invaluable. You gave your time, and you provided the encouragement and resources necessary to win in a state as large as California. I truly could not have accomplished this victory without you.
I also want to acknowledge District Attorney Steve Cooley for his leadership. It was a hard-fought campaign — one of the closest in state history — and Steve ran a competitive race. I look forward to working with him to improve California’s public safety system.
We have already begun the process to ensure a smooth transition. Our bipartisan transition team, which will include some of the best and brightest leaders in the state, is working closely with Governor-elect Jerry Brown and his staff at the Department of Justice.
I am humbled by the support of the people of California, and I am determined to affirm your trust.
As your Attorney General, I will work each and every day, across the aisle and in partnership with law enforcement leaders throughout the state, to make sure that the law is on the side of the people.
It is the Attorney General’s duty to represent all Californians. I look forward to serving this great state, always keeping in mind that our diversity is one of our greatest strengths.
I hope to see many of you today to celebrate our victory. Your support has been vital to this campaign and to me personally. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Sincerely,

Nice george, but this would have been better.
How many desperate housewives does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Now, George, it takes the same amount of energy to be nice as it does to be mean.
ANSWER: Housewives don’t screw in light bulbs, they screw in SUVs.
