Getting Spiritual

(Community Matters) a favorite reply to my note that at least the competition between Joaquin Castro & Lloyd Doggett resulted in Doggett finally agreeing to support repeal of DOMA and same sex marriage rights.

“When it comes to the Congressman and DOMA, the phrase ‘Some get spiritual ’cause they see the light, others ’cause they feel the heat’ comes to mind.” – Barbara Strickland

Teen Wolf

(Community Matters) I’ve never watched Teen Wolf in which Tyler Posey evidently stars, but perhaps should.

Went with my nieces last night to Twilight Breaking Dawn. hmm, not as good as previous ones but entertaining enough

Lady Gaga: Marry The Night

We Are the 99.9%

(Community Matters) “So should the 99.9 percent hate the 0.1 percent? No, not at all. But they should ignore all the propaganda about ‘job creators’ and demand that the super-elite pay substantially more in taxes. “

completely mindful that the 0.1% folks we know & love are right there with us advocating and participating to ensure equality of opportunity and a solid social safety net. These positions aren’t mutually exclusive from a strong & constructive economy.

Opportunity Finance Network & Starbucks

(Community Matters) These are very cool. $5 at Starbucks and every dollar goes to a CDFI (Community Development Financial Institution) for loans to small businesses that create jobs. I’m very familiar with Opportunity Finance Network – PeopleFund is a member. This is a super duper initiative by Starbucks, which launched the program with a $5mm contribution.
