Aloha and Mahalo to you, Tumbulu!

"She also has an advanced degree in microbiology and worked on some of the first genetically engineered bacteria. She looked at me and said " I don't believe a word those lying monsters say, I buy only organic food when I can and hope they all get found out someday" And she is a prim and proper 70 + yr old now".

Thank you!

Connecticut Becomes the First State to Require GMO Labeling

"The governor of Connecticut, Dannel Malloy, spoke outside of the organic restaurant, Catch a Healthy Habit, imploring others to consider joining the cause. “I am proud that leaders from each of the legislative caucuses can come together to make our state the first in the nation to require labeling of GMO’s,” said Malloy in Fairfield’s Daily Voice. “The end result is a law that shows our commitment to consumers’ right to know while catalyzing other states to take similar action.” -

Either the Republicans' Senate leader is confused by the basics of health care policy or he's choosing to mislead the public on purpose. http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/mcconnell-flubs-health-care-basics-key-debate

Remember @ChuckTodd said it was not his job to expose GOP lies?
Seems like he believes it's his job to spread them.

Good for Bernie saying it.. “It is very easy to criticize the president,”

“It is very easy to criticize the president,” Sanders replied. with right now.“But this is an enormously complicated issue. We are here today because of the disastrous blunder of the Bush-Cheney era, which got us into this war in Iraq in the first place, which then developed the can of worms that we’re trying to deal ”

Another critique on Elizabeth's interview with Thomas Frank, she..

Why don’t progressives care about labor unions?

snip//

Thomas Frank’s interview with Elizabeth Warren includes Warren attempting to balance praise for the President with a completely false critique that is a staple of the Professional Disappointed Left.

snip//

When the Obama administration rescued the auto industry and the UAW, Wall Street absolutely insisted that bondholders who had irresponsibly financed the worthless managements of both GM and Chrysler must get 100% back. That did not happen. The shareholders were wiped out. The bondholders suffered, as they should have, massive losses. The Obama Administration used the savings to wipe out the debts of GM and Chrysler and to save the UAW pension/health fund. None of this is secret and the right wing has bitched about it non-stop since the moment it happened. The “left”, however, doesn’t give a damn about a million jobs, the security of GM and Chrysler retirees and the unions. This example is not the only one of Obama’s economic team battling on behalf of working people, but it is the most revealing - about the Progressives and “the left” and what they think is important..
