Merry Christmas (?)
Came home tonight and found my packet of Christmas Seals from the American Lung Association. I LOVE Christmas seals and remember adding them to my mom's little angel Christmas cards as I was growing up. I do NOT remember getting them in September, however. Keep Christmas with you, all through the year! Okay. But it still seems strange. (And I have three 2010 calendars so far, and counting :-)

Maddow Show: FDL's Hamsher - Putting spine into Democrats
FDL's Jane Hamsher was fantastic on MSNBC's Rachel Maddow show: articulate and strong regarding holding ConservaDems to the will of We the People. Call 'em out for what they are, more artfully and truthfully than Joe Wilson. This four minute segment says a LOT. For more on target information, see FireDogLake.

CSA Pasta #1
Kale, wheat fettucine, garlic, crushed red pepper, EV olive oil, oregano, sea salt, frozen veggie stock cubes to finish cooking -- yummy way to use up the CSA kale. Actually made something similar to use up swiss chard. Used rotini pasta -- fried garlic with some CSA onion in the EVOO but omitted oregano. Another version used some cherry tomatoes: nice touch.

Yummy CSA Food
Breakfast included delicious CSA cantaloupe. Marion Nestle would approve. I am currently reading her book What to EAT: An Aisle-by-Aisle Guide to Savvy Food Choices and Good Eating. CSA = Community Supported Agriculture -- see SunnysideCSA.com.
Literary Lion
I love the NY Public Library lions, as do the pigeons. This photo was taken July 8th and just rediscovered. (FYI, there are a lot of Leos in my life.)

Writing the White House On-Line
Not getting through on the White House Comment Line -- 202-456-1111, I've called through the White House line: 202-456-1414 and have been transferred. BUT, I also urge people to WRITE a progressive message at the WhiteHouse.gov comment page. I left THIS comment:
I pray God that President Obama gets the message and speaks to this next Wednesday.
Be a Roosevelt -- NOT a Clinton.
People before Profits -- any healthcare reform must NOT benefit the greedy insurance industry. We need Single Payer -- an expanded improved Medicare for All, or at least all who WANT it. The only compromise is an affordable comprehensive STRONG Public Option WITHOUT the need for extra insurance polices.
NOTE: Any healthcare reform without at least a strong public option is UNACCEPTABLE.
Basic healthcare should NOT be a matter of profit but available to ALL.
DO NOT BETRAY YOUR BASE
I pray God that President Obama gets the message and speaks to this next Wednesday.
