The Primaries: The Results Are In
Posted by Michelle Moquin on September 15th, 2010
An interesting time in politics today. Most of the results of the primaries are in. And although Tea Party fave, specifically Christine O’Donnell, also backed by Palin (O’Donnell’s beginning to not only look like, but sound like Palin’s twin sister), is reveling in her 15 minutes, do we Dems actually believe that her political career will end on election day November 2nd?
Will the GOP hang O’Donnell out to dry, you know….not back her as they have stated? And will Chris Coons, whom polls say is now in the lead since O’Donnell beat nine time Republican Congressman Mike Castle, bring it home? I’m not confident that Coons has it in the bag, and the Tea Party backed O’Donnell is a dried up bag. Nope she is fired up, and ready to “get our country back on track”.
So am I doubtful, and on alert? You betcha. (Palin’s wearing on me) And I prefer to feel that way. I don’t want the Dems to get too confident, and complacent, resting on their laurels instead of showing up at the polls. Do you know what I mean?
We joke about the Tea Party, but they are no joke.
For the past year and a half they have been sneaking into the system…a steady pour into politics. And although I don’t think their cup of tea will turn into a golden pot, this coming election could be surprising. Ask the GOP – I am sure they are shocked at the outcome in DE. I am not up for any shocking surprises, unless the surprise swings toward the Dems. What or who is next?
I’ll tell you what’s next for me. I’m signing up this weekend to phone bank. And I’m hoping my readers in DE, and the rest of the country will join me. If there are going to be any surprises let it be the shock on the faces of the GOP and the Tea Party when they see the results of the November elections: The Democrats in the majority.
Are you with me?
Readers: Thoughts? Comments? Blog me. I know you’re out there. Oh, and if taxes are on your mind, there’s a lot to say about that too? I’ll leave it up to you. I broached the subject, you can banter about it. :)
Bob: I forgot the mention to you the other day that I loved your story.
Zen Lill: Looks like it’s you and me again.
Peace and Love….
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,

Hi Misch : ) yes, we’re alone again, hahaha…where are all our TAO visitors and the usual suspects, and I might as well say it, I miss Howie and Al (so if you’re reading, hi!)
I was just listening to a radio talk show re: the Tea Party, it’s a bit scary, seems it’s drumming up new biz i.e. voters for the GOP…yikes…and all I’m hearing on the homefront is how much taxes are going to go up next year, how ‘black market’ biz will grow bc of that, etc…interesting listening to be sure, hopefully Pres O is strategizing that killer re-election campaign very carefully though it’s next month that’ll determine the value of another term, if Dems don’t get it then he won’t get anything done in the next term either.
Caio! Luv, Zen Lill

How hard is it to post to your blog. Lately, my friends have been emailing me that they couldn’t post. Only Zen Lill!
What’s up with that?

I went to see Japan’s beauty specialist, Ikko, at the Westin Resort yesterday. She was very beautiful. For the most part I liked what she had to say about making ourselves beautiful.
She talked about her new fragrance “Gorgeous.” It’s expensive but it has a sexy aroma to it.
I visited your website and I liked what I saw. Have you ever thought about bringing your show to Guam?
I’ll take my answer on line.- :)

Is Heartburn Cure Worse Than the Condition?
Andrew L. Rubman, ND
Southbury Clinic for Traditional Medicines
Acid blockers, such as Nexium, Prevacid and Prilosec, can lead to fractures in people with osteoporosis.
Proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) are potent acid-blocking drugs prescribed for people with heartburn and chronic indigestion.
Doctors often tell patients that they must take these drugs for life — but long-term use can interfere with the body’s absorption of calcium and minerals, increasing the risk for broken bones and hip fractures.
Self-defense: Ask your doctor about alternatives, such as digestive enzyme combinations prescribed by naturopathic physicians.
If you must take PPIs, ask about limiting their use to as short a time as possible.

I see an opportunity for peace between us and the Isralies. If the men don’t get in their own way.
