Successful jobs programs dies after GOP block

Most of the Conservative Republicans have never made a substantive argument against the successful stimulus jobs program, but they have blocked it three times. (We have seen this time and time again, as of late). And at the same time, attributing the sole failure of the job market to Pres. Obama's policies, and the Progressive Democrats! Incredible stuff...

John Lennon & Yoko Ono: WAR IS OVER! (If You Want It)

This video is from Yoko Ono's YouTube channel, and very profound...

Yoko Ono: Inspired By Iceland

#9 dream

Once again, I post this video in tribute to John Lennon, on his birthday, and now the 30th anniversary since his violent death in Dec. of 1980. He would have been 70 yrs. old today. (Oct. 9th). I will never forget the thrill of getting the Imagine album for Christmas from my mother, when I was a kid.
So videos like this, bring back so many cherised memories for me, of that time in my life. I would imagine the same would be true for John's wife, Yoko. (She is a good woman).
I would also like to include several very interesting comments from some viewers of this video post on YouTube. This is one comment posted from darrynray several weeks ago...

"Probably my favorite JL song. My morbid theory on this one is it's John's dream premonition of his assassination. I read years later that it was a record high temperature for that day and the words "Heat Whispered Trees" got me thinking. Also, supposedly Chapman called out "Mr. Lennon" as he hears someone call out his name.


Took a walk down the street
Thru the heat whispered trees
I thought I could hear (hear, hear)
Somebody call out my name as it started to rain
2 Spirits Dancing So Strange"

And here is a more recent one from a spike284...

"John was inspired to write this song because of a Dream he had, he saw Yoko and Cynthia, and they said Ah! Bawakwa Pousse Pousse to him in the dream..."

John Lennon was a brilliant, fascinating individual and artist, in more ways then one. He will never be forgotten by many. Including myself.
His music, his spirit, and his dreams, live on. God rest his soul...

Fraud Factories: Rep. Alan Grayson Explains the Foreclosure Fraud Crisis

Oh yea. This guy is great. Definately one of the best lawmakers we have in Washington today, by far. With that said, however, I do not believe that every single financial institution, that handles mortgages, foreclosures, and the like, is corrupt. (At least, I certainly hope not, or we're in big trouble). And I don't believe Alan Grayson believes that, either. I think he is just basically explaining, what in all too many cases is (unfortunately) really going-on; Not only because of the people he represents as a legislator, but maybe, as an honest and intelligent attorney, as well. That's all I am going to say about this, too...
