2. We have financial Marshall law being put in place in Wisconsin...

I have the sense that those who are working govt. jobs and those contracts will become nothing but worthless pieces of paper... Too bad govt. workers don't have big time lobbyist making the same claim to their contracts as the banksters did to their claimed contracts for compensation and bonuses...

3. i enjoyed that!

when I was a kid my mom would make "egg bread". She'd break a piece of bread in a bowl and soft boil an egg. put that in with the bread and mix it all up with some salt and pepper. She was a depression baby living in an orphanage so her childhood was pretty rough.

4. Absolutely heart-warming!

And as an added benefit, it evoked thoughts of Granny D.

Thank you, A.

9. Clara is very relaxing to listen to.

She gives me hope that I might could make it to age 60!

10. I see Clara...

...and cry/get furious. Cry because she reminds me of my 96 y/o aunt who just passed. Furious because, well, I'd like to see that miserable bastard Paul Ryan tell her to her face we can't afford her medical care but we can afford to let GE slide on their taxes and wage endless war.
