Go Vote Today!
Posted by Michelle Moquin on November 2nd, 2010
Good morning!
What is there left to say? You’re either going to vote or you’re not.
Did I just say that? Of course you’re going to vote. There is no excuse to not vote. Exercise your right to vote and get your butt down to the polls today and do it.
I heard last night on the Rachel Maddow show, only 8% of registered voters under age 30 are likely to vote. Wha’at? C’mon young people…you are the ones that really matter. This is your future. You voted in 2008 – this isn’t a time to kick back; it is a time to kick some ass, and in order to do that we need everyone’s vote.
And since I’m addressing specific groups, I will say this to women….
…specifically white women: I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Women, and just white women alone, are 51% of the vote – Don’t be an echo of your husband’s; make your own voice heard this election.
Again, there is no excuse to not vote. But the Republicans are hoping that you won’t.
The Republicans are banking on the Democrats not showing up at the polls today. Republicans are slated to win seats today, not because they are liked more by the country, but because they are more likely to get out and vote. As Maddow says, they are banking on the registered Democratic voters, the larger number of people in our country to shrug their shoulders and say, “Eh…can’t be bothered.” Be bothered. Call, blog, Twitter, and Facebook your friends and family to vote…Get out the vote. Need I say more?
Well actually yes. I am posting a segment of Maddow’s show last night. The Democrats have had the Senate and the House for the last 21 months. The 111th Congress put policy before politics. Want more of that? Simple…Vote Democratic.
Check out just how much the Democrats got done in Washington in spite of the “party of no”:
If what was accomplished in the last 21 months doesn’t inspire you to vote for the Dems today, then I don’t know what will. If what was accomplished in the last 21 months doesn’t inspire you to vote for the Dems today, then it has to be something else. What else could that something be? Fear and Racism to name two. But of course , the same same ‘ol scare tactics. The Republicans continue with their racist remarks and they continue to scare white people. I will echo Maddow’s words:
“White people: ‘Be afraid…be very afraid.’”
Okay…so back to the topic at hand: Voting…Just do it, okay?
Confused on where to vote? Want to volunteer? Click below.
Don’t be one of these!
Make sure that you know your vote counted! If you are questioning anything go to Election Protection for tips at the polls.
For Californians, here’s an e-mail from the Democratic party:
In Tuesday’s election it is not enough just to vote for Jerry Brown, Barbara Boxer and Gavin Newsom.
It’s important to reject the TV smears paid for by the tobacco companies, the oil companies, big mortgage banks and right wing billionaires by electing:
– Kamala Harris as Attorney General. She will fight crime, polluters and mortgage fraud.
– Dave Jones for Insurance Commissioner, he’ll protect consumers from increases in insurance rates.
– And Tom Torlakson as Superintendent of Public Instruction. He is supported by parents, educators and school superintendents.
In addition, candidates like Debra Bowen for Secretary of State, Bill Lockyer for Treasurer, John Chiang for Controller, and the four Board of Equalization candidates, Betty Yee, Chris Parker, Mary Christian-Heising and Jerome Horton, are all determined to fight for your interests in Sacramento.
Finally, please do not forget to vote on the important ballot propositions::
BALLOT PROPOSITIONS
Proposition 19: Neutral.
Allows for the regulation, control and taxation of cannabis.
Proposition 20: No
Another redistricting power grab by a Republican billionaire.

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,

I try again.
I was so excited to see a woman in charge for a change. When Hillary Rodham Clinton visited Andersen Air Force Base here on Guam, she made me so proud to be a woman.
Here is what she said.
SECRETARY CLINTON: Thank you very much. Please sit down, those of you who have a place to sit. It is wonderful to be here and to be back in Guam and to thank you in person for what you’re doing every single day for our country. I just flew in from Honolulu and I could see out the window of the plane the vastness of the Pacific and I felt all the better that you were here in Guam standing watch and providing defense, not only for Guam and the United States, but for so many of our friends and allies in this region.
I want to thank Governor Felix Camacho for being here today and thank him for his service to the people of Guam. And I’m grateful for the leadership of Rear Admiral Paul Bushong, Commander of Naval Forces Marianas, and Brigadier General John Doucette, Commander of the 36th Wing, and I think that’s a Global Hawk sitting there. So I see the signs, welcome to Global Hawk country. And I just saw some of the imagery and I think I recognized my cousin on the street.
We have men and women here from the Army, the Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard, and National Guard. So let me ask you: Who’s here from the Army? Whoa, lonely group. (Laughter.) A hardy, brave group in this outpost of everyone else. What about here from the Navy? (Applause.) (Laughter.) Oh, I could barely hear you all. Who’s here from the Navy? (Applause.) All right. What about the Marines? (Laughter.) (Applause.) Well, I don’t think you’ll be lonely for too long. What about the Air Force? (Applause.) Now, I don’t have a noise meter up here, but I think it’s pretty close between the Air Force and the Navy. And how about the Coast Guard? (Applause.) (Laughter.) And I met a National Guardsman, too. How about the National Guard? (Laughter.) Oh, yeah.
Well, I am delighted to see and to hear every single one of you and I know that some of your units have just come back from deployments all over the Pacific from our Medevac detachment unit in Basra, Iraq. Thank you for your service. From Afghanistan, thank you for your service. (Applause.) We are grateful to each and every one of you and we’re also grateful to your families. Because I know that maybe one of you is actually in uniform, but the entire family serves. And so please express my appreciation to them as well.
I’m here on my sixth trip as Secretary of State to the Asia Pacific region, because this is the center of much of the change and many of the challenges of the 21st century. I gave a speech, I guess it was yesterday now in Hawaii, outlining some of those changes and challenges and explaining what we are doing to meet them. We are engaging evermore actively in this region with our allies, our partners, with emerging powers, with institutions that are being built in order to keep the peace, advance prosperity and stability. This is an opportunity for me to come to Guam, the home of 170,000 very loyal American citizens who care deeply about our country and who are part of our extended defense.
I will go from here to Vietnam, a country that we are developing stronger relationships with that were unimaginable even 10 years ago, let alone 40 years ago. And then for me it is on to China for a brief stop to discuss the upcoming trip to the United States of President Hu Jintao, then to Cambodia and Malaysia and then on to Papua New Guinea and then to New Zealand, Australia and my last stop will be American Samoa. In just a few weeks, President Obama will be visiting India, Indonesia, Japan, and South Korea as well. So you can see we’re paying a lot of attention to what’s going on in the Asia Pacific region, because the United States is both an Atlantic and a Pacific power. And one of our goals coming into office 20 months ago was to reassert the American presence in Asia. And everywhere I travel on your behalf, I hear from leaders and citizens alike that they are glad America is back.
As we step up our engagement, we will depend more than ever on each of you. The men and women of our armed forces are one of the most important assets we have for engaging in the world. And your mission is evolving for the 21st century and no one understands that better than you do. You’re called to provide a wide range of services and activities in a variety of places. For instance, earlier this year, sailors from Guam were part of a five-month humanitarian deployment of the USNS Mercy delivering medical and dental care to the people of Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Timor-Leste, Papua New Guinea, and Palau. America’s military might married to our values, our humanitarian compassion is what sets us apart. No one doubts the ferocity of our defensive and offensive ability. But everyone counts on who we are as Americans and how we convey those fundamental connections human being to human being.
And after the devastating earthquake in Haiti last January, the Global Hawk unmanned aerial vehicle that’s based here was used to survey the damage and identify safe landing places for aircraft carrying relief supplies. I know that firsthand, because every day I saw the images and, with a group of us from across the government, tried to plot out how we could most quickly deliver services and figure out how to move people to safety. These humanitarian missions are some of the purest expressions of American generosity and I thank you for showing what is the best about all of us.
More and more you are also called on to cooperate with forces from other countries. And these efforts strengthen our joint security and they show our allies that we remain deeply committed to them. I had a two-hour meeting yesterday in Honolulu with the Japanese foreign minister and we discussed a broad range of matters. But it’s important to Japan, to South Korea, to the Philippines, to Australia, to Thailand, who are our allies with whom we have security agreements that the United States is there. And increasingly, it is important to other nations that we are as well.
I know that today the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit 5 is hosting members of the South Korean military for joint training and identifying and implementing a plan to eliminate improvised explosive devices. Those of you who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan know what a scourge those IEDs are and how important it is we do even more to prevent them and to find them and to destroy them before they harm any of our people or innocent civilians. This is the kind of collaboration that saves lives and improves the relationship between us and other countries.
Finally, I want to acknowledge that while there’s an obvious upside to serving in Guam – I was looking out the window of the plane. The last time I was here, it was dark. So I didn’t see those beaches as clearly as I did this time. I know it comes with a downside as well. Many of you miss your families. Although, in today’s world you can communicate instantaneously and virtually with them, it’s not the same. So I’m sure there are times when you feel very, very far away. And I can’t resist saying as a mom, I hope you’re calling and emailing often so that people know that you’re okay out here in the Pacific.
With Veteran’s Day approaching, I want you and your families to know that the American people remain grateful and proud for your service. The dedication and sacrifices of the American military are very obvious in this region. We’ve been there standing sentinel. We’ve been there defending and taking the fight to those who would undermine freedom, our way of life, and the opportunity for millions and millions of others to have a chance to live up to their own God-given potential. It’s a great honor for me to have a chance to come here and personally express the appreciation and gratitude of all of those who may not know your names and may never come to Guam, but because you’re here, they sleep more soundly at night.
I look out at all of you and it makes me very proud to be the Secretary of State of our great country. In fact, everywhere I go and every place I visit being able to say I represent the United States of America never ever ceases to send a chill down my spine. My dad was a World War II Navy vet. And I know from my own growing up how important it is that you’re on duty for me, for my family, for your families, and for all of us and for future generations. Thank you and God bless you.
============================
I hope this will post.

My husband is a very vociferous republican. He thinks I will follow his lead in the voting booth. To keep the peace at home I at as if I share his hatred for all things Obama.
Frankly, he is just another jealous insecure white male. I will be voting Democratic at the polls today.

Cure Hiccups with a Q-Tip
Lisa Katayama
Japan is well-known for its Urawaza — clever, do-it-yourself tricks for using household products to solve common problems.
Here are strategies that have worked for others — and may just work for you…
HEALTH REMEDIES
Cure the hiccups with a Q-tip. Briefly touch one end of a Q-tip to the small piece of flesh that dangles in the back of your throat (uvula).
Why it works: This triggers your gag reflex, which interrupts the spasms of your diaphragm. No hiccup cure works 100% of the time, but this one is more effective than many others.
Clear a stuffy nose with scallions. People with stuffy noses shouldn’t take over-the-counter nasal decongestants too often — overuse can cause increased congestion.
Scallions can serve as a substitute. Cut the top fronds off two scallions, then very gently put the thick white root part into each nostril.
(Warning: Do not shove it high up your nose.) Your nose should start to clear in as little as one minute.
Why it works: Like other members of the onion family, scallions contain chemical compounds that make the eyes water and the nose run.
QUICK FIXES
Fix a scratched CD with toothpaste. Place a small dab of nonabrasive white toothpaste on a cotton ball, and gently apply it over the CD’s scratch, starting the cotton ball at the middle of the CD and moving it outward. Use a small amount of water and a second, clean cotton ball to remove any excess toothpaste. Let the CD air-dry.
Why it works: The mild abrasives in toothpaste gently smooth out the sharp edges of the scratch. It’s those sharp edges that diffract the CD player’s laser beam, causing it to skip.
This works only on shallow scratches — deep scratches might be beyond repair.
Make old, formerly water-resistant cloth jackets water-resistant again with a hair dryer.
Set a hair dryer to high, then slowly move it around the outer surface of the jacket.
Why it works: Many, though not all, waterproof cloth garments are treated with something called a “durable water-repellent coating.”
Over time, the coating starts to deteriorate, decreasing its effectiveness. Heat can reactivate the water-repelling properties.
CLEANING TRICKS
Clean pen marks off your hands with a tea bag. Brew a cup of green or black tea, then rub the used tea bag over the pen marks on your skin.
Why it works: Catechin, a chemical compound found in these teas, combines with the pigments and oils in the pen ink, lifting the ink from the skin. The fabric of the tea bag acts as a mild scrubber.
Remove stickers or tape from mirrors or windows with mayonnaise. Stickers and tape often leave adhesive residue behind when they are peeled from mirrors or windows.
Scraping the residue away can take a lot of effort. Instead, place a dab of mayonnaise on a paper towel, and apply this to the adhesive.
After a minute or two, the adhesive residue should give way without much scrubbing or scraping — sometimes it simply wipes away with a paper towel.
Why it works: The vegetable oil in mayonnaise dissolves most common adhesives. In fact, you can use vegetable oil to remove adhesive residue, but the oil’s more liquid consistency means it won’t stay in place over the adhesive as well.
Pick up broken glass with bread. Hundreds of tiny shards often are spread across the floor when glass breaks.
Sweeping never removes them all. Next time glass breaks in your home, sweep away the larger pieces, then press a few slices of bread onto the broken-glass area.
Why it works: Even very small shards will lodge in the bread.
Warning: Dispose of these slices of bread immediately so that people and pets don’t mistake them for food.
Clean a toilet bowl with mouthwash. Pour about one cup of mouthwash in the toilet bowl.
After 15 to 20 minutes, a quick swipe with a toilet brush should be all it takes to make the bowl’s surface sparkle.
Why it works: The disinfectants in mouthwash are designed to make teeth shine and kill germs, but they are equally effective at polishing toilet surfaces and killing toilet germs.
Remove burn marks from a pan with eggshells. Crush an eggshell, then rub the shell fragments against the burned areas with your fingers. Do not use on nonstick surfaces, because it could scratch.
Why it works: The calcium carbonate in eggshells is an abrasive that does a nice job of scrubbing away burns.
The small amount of egg white still present on the shell fragments absorbs the loose particles for a clean, shiny finish.
HELP FOR PLANTS
Save a diseased plant with garlic. Grate a single clove of garlic into two cups of water, then pour this mixture around the base of the plant. This works particularly well for the fungus that often kills basil.
Why it works: Garlic contains a compound called phytoncide that kills many common plant root fungi and inhibits certain other plant diseases.
Extend the life of cut flowers with bleach. Add a few drops of bleach to the water in the vase.
Why it works: The disinfecting properties of bleach inhibit the bacterial and mildew growth that often robs cut flowers of their beauty.
Alternative: Drop a penny minted prior to 1982 into the vase water. The copper kills bacteria. (Pennies minted after mid-1982 are mostly zinc and won’t help your flowers.)

GREAT to see you are back on line Michelle. I haven’t been able to post for 3 days.

I agree with you Michelle. In the end, the poll today is the only thing that matters. What the republican press has been touting is meaningless if we Democrats get out and vote.
So Vote! And take your friends, family and neighbors with you! You have no excuse Madaline has provided excellent weather.
Thanks again for all you’ve done to help the Democrats win, Michelle

I’m volunteering today with the Barbara Boxer campaign to get out the vote. It’s SO exciting and there are tons of great people involved, but I’m emailing you because we urgently need a lot more help.
The campaign has a list of thousands of people in the San Francisco area who support Boxer but might not actually vote. Right now we’re contacting these folks personally to remind them to vote today—but to reach them all, we need more MoveOn members to come join in!
I’ve rearranged my schedule to volunteer today. Control of Congress is at stake in this year’s election and everything we’ve fought so hard for is on the line.
Please: Can you drop whatever you’re doing and help us get out the vote in San Francisco?
Thanks so much! Keep your fingers crossed!

THIS IS AN ACTUAL PERSONAL AD FROM THE ” SAVANNAH TRIBUNE” NEWSPAPER ……..
To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me InDowntown Savannah night before last.
Date: 2010-05-27, 1 :43 a.m. E.S.T.
I was the guy wearing the black Bur berry jacket that you demanded that I hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend, threatening our lives.
You also asked for my girlfriend’s purse and earrings. I can only hope that you somehow come across this rather important message.
First, I’d like to apologize for your embarrassment; I didn’t expect you to actually crap in your pants when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket.
The evening was not that cold, and I was wearing the jacket for a reason. My girlfriend had just bought me that Kimber Model 1911 …45 ACP pistol for my birthday, and we had picked up a shoulder holster for it that very evening.
Obviously you agree that it is a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head … isn’t it?!
I know it probably wasn’t fun walking back to wherever you’d come from with that brown sludge in your pants. I’m sure it was even worse walking bare-footed since I made you leave your shoes, cell phone, and wallet with me. [That prevented you from calling or running to your buddies to come help mug us again].
After I called your mother or “Momma” as you had her listed in your cell, I explained the entire episode of what you’d done.
Then I went and filled up my gas tank as well as those of four other people in the gas station, — on your credit card. The guy with the big motor home took 150 gallons and was extremely grateful!
I gave your shoes to a homeless guy outside Vinnie Van Go Go’s, along with all the cash in your wallet. [That made his day!]
I then threw your wallet into the big pink “pimp mobile” that was parked at the curb … after I broke the windshield and side window and keyed the entire driver’s side of the car.
Later, I called a bunch of phone sex numbers from your cell phone. Ma Bell just now shut down the line, although I only used the phone for a little over a day now, so what ‘s going on with that?
In a way, perhaps I should apologize for not killing you, but I feel this type of retribution is a far more appropriate punishment for your threatened crime.
I wish you well as you try to sort through some of these rather immediate pressing issues, and can only hope that you have the opportunity to reflect upon, and perhaps reconsider, the career path you’ve chosen to pursue in life.
Remember, next time you might not be so lucky. Have a good day!
Thoughtfully yours,
Alex

I voted.
A cannibal entered the meat market to buy something nice for dinner. The owner greeted him and told him to look around. The cannibal began to inspect the meat case and noticed the market specialized in brain.
Upon further inspection he noticed a marked disparity between the costs of brain meats. A carpenter’s brain sells for $1.50 per pound.
A plumber’s brain sells for $2.25 per pound. He noticed with alarm that a politician’s brain sells for $375.00 a pound. With not a little curiosity he asked the owner why the huge difference in price between the similar meats.
The owner responded with a deadpan look on his face, “Do you realize how many politicians it takes to get a pound of brains?”

Keyboard Cleaning Methods
David Boyer
Keyboards accumulate a lot of dirt and germs, but they are easy to clean. One of the simplest ways is using compressed air, which you can find in a hardware or computer store.
Spray quick bursts under the keyboard, shake the keyboard upside down and repeat a few times. To clean the keys, you can use alcohol or disinfectant wipes. It’s best to turn off your computer first in case you press a button you don’t want to.

The Right is still plugging away with their lies.
====================
You’ve salivated two years for this moment. And it’s finally arrived. This President has given us an America that is poorer, less free, less safe, over-regulated, as well as a country that is now hallmarked by unprecedented government intrusion, food stamp dependency, and historic levels of deficit spending.
The Democratic Party, led by Obama, Pelosi, and Reid, are belligerently waging war against free enterprise, self-determination, and individual liberty.
From sabotaging the greatest health-care system in the world, to fecklessly blowing through trillions of your dollars, to demonizing wealth creation, the rule of law, and American exceptionalism — this administration is the personification of unhinged liberalism.
Now it’s your turn to tell him and his party, “enough.” Make no mistake about it: This 2010 Election is a Referendum on Obama.
You don’t have to wait long to find out the results. In fact, keep your browser bookmarked on Human Events today and tomorrow as our team provides you with breaking coverage and rapid-fire analysis on all things Midterms.
We’ve got you covered, from the initiatives on the ballot to the key House, Senate and gubernatorial races.
======================
These creeps are literally salivating with glee at taking over the House and Senate.
Let’s hope the People, Madaline or God will see us through this.

We’ll sift through the outcomes, and that’s not all: We’ve also organized a symposium of leading conservatives to give quick and timely analyses breaking down the results and what they mean.

I voted already.
All I got for the past 3 days was this explanation for why I couldn’t post. – “Duplicate comment detected; it looks as though you’ve already said that!”

This is what I got when i clicked on your blog site Michelle.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Basically, the link you clicked, or the URL you typed didn’t work. There are a few possible explanations:
1. You have a “bad” link.
2. You may have typed the page address incorrectly, check your spelling and capitalizations.
3. The content you are tyring to access no longer exists, was never available or we just placed it somewhere else!

What’s up?

I am so glad I left the human race. The democrats didn’t show up to the polls. in some places they were out number by more that 2 to 1.
Let them suffer for the next 2 years.
