+++ Please, God, Protect My Sight +++
Christ in Gethsemane (Christus in Gethsemane), oil painting by Heinrich Ferdinand Hofmann (en:Heinrich Hofmann). The original is at the de:Riverside Church (en:Riverside Church, New York City).
It is Sunday morning and I just awoke from a dream. I don’t remember all of it, which is common. I do remember the tail end. I was in an environment where there were sighted people learning a kind of 3D braille. In the dream I decided that it might be a fun skill to have. I started playing around closing my eyes, feeling the braille, then opening my eyes to see the shape. To start an educational project at my age would be ambitious. “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” I hope this was not God’s subtle way of telling me that my diabetes was robbing me of my sight. Heavenly Father, please protect my vision…and my ability to physically take care of myself. [I never found "Mr. Right" and I don't have children.] AMEN!

Russia election: Vladimir Putin seeks third term
Polling stations in Russia’s far east have opened as the presidential election gets underway.
Sunday’s vote sees Vladimir Putin hoping to become president again after four years as prime minister.
Mr Putin was Russia’s president from 2000-2008, but was barred by the constitution from standing for a third consecutive term.
He faces four challengers, three of whom he has defeated in previous elections.
The election is being held against a backdrop of popular discontent, sparked by allegations of fraud during December’s parliamentary elections.
Polls will be open from 8am to 8pm in each time zone, with the first opening in the Far East of the country at 20:00 GMT on Saturday, and the last in the western Kaliningrad region closing at 17:00 GMT on Sunday.
The Interior Ministry is bringing 6,000 police reinforcements to Moscow from the regions, according to Russian media reports. [BBC News] MORE
Would that Sandra Fluke Could File a Class Action Suit Against Radio Talkers Who Defamed Her 3
Billionaire Radio Personality, Rush Limbaugh
Sandra Fluke, a student, and not a public figure has had her good name, character and personal regard and safety assaulted by Rush Limbaugh et als. These men have first amendment rights but, IMHO, that does not include the horrible things said about her to entertain right-wing radio audiences. Entertainment is the dodge these men use to further the aims of conservative Republicans. Daily they spout character assassination to further the efforts of the GOP to destroy Barack Obama, Warrior of the Middle Class. Nothing can un-speak those horrible things said about Miss Fluke. The lost of money is the only recourse to stop these attacks. This matter deserves to be brought to court.
Rush Limbaugh has issued a so-called apology. Rush was not at school the day they taught what makes up an apology:
Definition of APOLOGY
2: an admission of error or discourtesy accompanied by an expression of regret <a public apology>
3: a poor substitute : makeshift
See apology defined for English-language learners »Examples of APOLOGY
- The company issued an official apology to its customers for its error.
- Please accept our sincerest apologies for any problems we may have caused.
- He made a public apology for his controversial remarks.
- He refused to accept my apology.
- We received a letter of apology from the company.
- I made my apologies and left.
IN POPULAR USAGE, ONE HAS TOO REALLY BE SORRY FOR THEIR WRONGFUL ACTIONS. Rush Limbaugh and his colleagues are not sorry, IMHO. They should be forced to give restitution to their victim so she can know some measure of justice. Rush was bold enough to spout his evil on radio but he was not man enough to go on radio or TV and show himself to Miss Fluke and the public the degree to which he was sorry.
In his own words, for 20 years Rush has used invectives to entertain the far-right for which he is the mouthpiece. NO REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE HAS BOLDLY DENOUNCED RUSH LIMBAUGH AND CALLED FOR THE SAME JUSTICE THAT WAS METED OUT TO DON IMUS WHEN HE MISSED USED HIS PLATFORM. How could any of Rush Limbaugh’s advertisers condone what Rush did? They should ask themselves, “Suppose Miss Fluke was my daughter?” Advertisers should be found guilty in the court of public opinion if they continue to support Rush Limbaugh et als.

TAX FAIRNESS: INFOGRAPHIC
Check out this new infographic showing how a typical American couple pays a higher tax rate than millionaires. President Obama’s Buffett Rule would close the tax loopholes that make this possible, and ask the wealthiest Americans to pay their fair share — something many are glad to do. Share the infographic:
