Sen. Ron Johnson: Comments on the Fiscal Cliff Vote
Sen. Ron Johnson is Wisconsin's Republican senator in Washington, D.C. This commentary is taken from his weekly e-newsletter to constituents.
Although I strongly prefer extension of current tax rates for all Americans, I supported the compromise bill that protects 99% of Wisconsinites from an income tax increase, limits the death tax, and prevents a dramatic increase in milk prices. It is by no means a perfect piece of legislation.
The revenue raised by this legislation will equal approximately 7% of projected deficits. It is now time for President Obama and his Democrat colleagues to show the American public their plan to close the other 93% of the deficit.
Our nation's debt now stands at $16.4 trillion, and has reached its statutory limit. We blew through the $2.1 trillion increase in the debt ceiling granted in August 2011 in only 17 months. This is clearly unsustainable, and President Obama must begin to work with Congress to reduce the size, scope, and cost of government.
We are mortgaging our children's future. This is immoral and it must stop.
Johnson Calls for Spending Reductions
President Obama got what he demanded, a tax increase on the job-creating sector of America's economy – 'the rich.' It will harm economic growth, hinder new job creation and, at most, reduce our annual deficit by about 5%.
President Obama then left town with 95% of the deficits still unresolved. Treasury Secretary Geithner issued a statement on December 31st that the nation had already gone over the debt ceiling cliff - $16.4 trillion. President Obama blew through the most recent $2.1 trillion debt ceiling in only 17 months. This fiscal path is clearly unsustainable.
Now is not the time to declare victory and go on vacation. Now it is time for President Obama and Democrats in the Senate to show the American people their plans to save Social Security and Medicare, and to address the remaining 95% of our annual deficit which is projected to exceed $1 trillion for the fifth year in a row. This U.S. Senator will not vote to increase the debt unless serious spending reductions are part of the package.
President Obama and Harry Reid got their tax increase. Where is their so-called balance? Where is their spending reduction plan? The clock is ticking towards a debt ceiling bubble that will explode in just a few weeks.

As a calm person living in the reality-based world, I become a bit cynical when people become emotional over material issues. Mr. Johnson strikes me as an emotional, enlarged amygdala type, therefore I approach all of his communications with skepticism. For example, I personally think it was "immoral" to invade a sovereign nation based on debunked premises and the lie that it would pay for itself. The cost in that precious resource, human life, was egregious and without need. That's worth getting emotional about, 100,000 civilians maimed or dead. Now, what has this to do with the fiscal cliff? Well, the unbudgeted invasion of Iraq helped bring us to the brink of economic collapse.
That is why I'm skeptical about any current GOP ideas, any at all, until they clean house and send the fringists like Mr. Jane Curler here back to the cobwebby corners of the party.

Registered Trade Mark Steve: I think in your mockery you missed Bren's point. Repubs SAY they want to decrease the deficit. EXCEPT when it "... protects 99% of Wisconsinites from an income tax increase, limits the death tax, and prevents a dramatic increase in milk prices." Anyone that SAYS one thing and DOES another- there is a word for.
7:41 am on Sunday, January 6, 2013
Bren, Skeptical of GOP ideas, really, think you better study the Demos progressive agenda and unrealistic spending which is on a crash course to wreck this nation under this controlling demagogue of an administration. the course being steered to by Obama is totally scary and if not corrected will end America as we know it. He's doing to us internally exactly what we did to the Russians under Reagan, spending us into oblivion! Whos is he doing it for, certainly not for us, I'll let you come up with an answer.
6:00 am on Sunday, January 6, 2013
Notice how none of the blame is his? It's all someone else's responsibility. And yet this pitiful excuse for a governing body created this mess to begin with.
Years of war spending and no true buildup of our own country has brought us to this. Why does he refuse to acknowledge the truth so true solutions can be found?
Bob McBride
6:51 am on Sunday, January 6, 2013
Yeah the nerve of him not doing that. Because ordinarily they always take their share of the blame. Why just the other day, the Prez was doing just that. I'm sure I can find...errr...there must be...something...somewhere?...where he isn't blaming Bush, the Republicans, anyone but himself....gotta be....
Anyways, even if Obama DIDN'T take his share of the blame (can't be..has to be evidence...somewhere) for all the stuff that happened prior to assuming his current position in 2008 (even though he had been a US Senator since 2005 before that) or anything since, that's no excuse for Johnson, who came into office in 2010, not taking his share.
Jay Sykes
8:20 am on Sunday, January 6, 2013
I'm sure our newly elected Senator, Tammy Baldwin, will step-up to the plate and take her share of the blame. She won't point fingers. She will make it clear that she is responsible. We will see it in each and every press release and newsletter to constituents.
During the 14 years she held a seat in the House of Representatives she never point fingers at others;she took responsibility and took her share of the blame. I'm absolutely sure this happened, but for for simple confirmation we can look to her last 14 years of press releases and newsletters.
oh, well, umm, NEVER-MIND...
9:35 am on Sunday, January 6, 2013
In Johnson's defense, he really didn't get to Congress until 2010, when the problem of interest on the debt and the deficit problem were well on their way to becoming insurmountable. It's going to take a long time to dig out no matter what we do.

Bob McBride
8:29 am on Sunday, January 6, 2013
Right, that never, ever happened in the past. Prior to this bunch, the "loyal opposition" has always caved, worked to get legislation it didn't agree with passed in a timely fashion, gotten along famously with its counterparts across the aisle and tossed its party platform aside for the sake of cooperation and the good of the country. Throw this bunch out so we can get more like that in there.
For someone who claims to be older you're either being disingenuous or have a bad memory.
9:39 am on Sunday, January 6, 2013
I agree, Senator Johnson, we need to reduce spending. We merely disagree on who should take the fall to get us out of the mess we're in -- defense contractors or the socially vulnerable.
And please, try to acknowledge that the problems of Social Security and Medicare projected shortfalls are a separate problem from the general spending deficit. A senator is supposed to understand that distinction.
Bob McBride
9:46 am on Sunday, January 6, 2013
Looks like that's exactly how he broke it out, Randy...
"...plans to save Social Security and Medicare, and to address the remaining 95% of our annual deficit which is projected to exceed $1 trillion for the fifth year in a row. "
He doesn't appear to be rolling those two programs into the general spending deficit, as the 95% reference relates to the 5% he states as having been addressed. Unless you're suggesting he shouldn't be including both topics in the same sentence, paragraph or press release because they're not the same thing, lest we further confuse people who think he should be to taking blame and getting a pink slip.

Elected officials...stop pointing fingers and start enacting sensible legislation. End the war in Afghanistan, close military bases in Germany and Japan, strip yourselves of all your special benefits so you will have no more than any citizen you represent, establish severe limits on lobbyists and political action groups who are currently buying this country away from the average citizen, beef up the watchdog agencies so they can be real deterrents to illegal/questionable activities of the investment/banking industry, simplify the tax code...for real, elect candidates who are other than lawyers (they're always looking for the loop-hole to slide through that turns out to be legal but not morally right), emphasize substance rather than image when campaigning, and finally, have some shame about all the lying going on when dealing with the American people. Elected officials are so in the pockets of industry that it is almost as if the individual citizen ceases to exist as anyone they have to serve. This country has to grow up. We have strayed so far from our founding principles, that we have become one big frustrating joke. There is a time to be conservative and there is a time to be liberal. You can't use the same tool on every job. It is the average citizen that has to pay for all the chicanery, and it is next to impossible to get rid of any bad actors, once they are in office (no matter what party they are in). This all has to stop if we are to seriously reform America.
Bob McBride
11:43 am on Sunday, January 6, 2013
Noticed you left out those politicians with their hands in the pockets of the public employee unions - not that that really surprises me. Then again, I'm sure you'll address that next time Pasch or Baldwin or some other (D) weighs in...
Dave Koven

McBride...Officials with their hands in ANYONE'S pocket have to be stopped. Widen your view. This is no time for mindless partisanship.
Bob McBride
11:57 am on Sunday, January 6, 2013
So call out those with their hands in the one you belonged to and post the same tirade on a D's press release (or show me where you've done so in the past) and I'll take your valiant recitation above seriously. Until then, your non-partisan stance is suspect at best.
Dave Koven
12:20 pm on Sunday, January 6, 2013
McBride...To me, it's not important that YOU take me seriously or not. Since most chicanery is done in secret, even you would have a tough time honoring your request. The govt. mis-information and slavish dedication to "plausible deniability" makes a truly factual discussion impossible. BUT...We, as a country, didn't get to the level of real problems we now find ourselves with by accident. No one politician caused it. Again, I would caution you, adopt a wider view. No elected official is going to willingly give up his/her "perks and bennies" just because it would be the right thing to do. It seems there are two Americas. The "insiders" see the law as a set of suggestions for them to operate under, while the rest of us have to obey. Every thirty to fifty years we find out the true story behind a political situation that arose in this country, and it was never the way it was proposed to us at the time. I say, forewarned by history is forearmed. Special deals are cut every day that don't take account of your well-being as an individual citizen. The "checks and balances" have gotten out of whack and need to be re-established in no uncertain terms.
Bob McBride
12:31 pm on Sunday, January 6, 2013
You're a master of the obvious, however, you never seem to weigh in with this stuff when there's a Democrat behaving in the time honored tradition you mention and which, believe it or not, most are well aware of. You're crying over spilt milk that your union dues are partially responsible for. Cut the crap, Dave.
Dave Koven
12:49 pm on Sunday, January 6, 2013
McBride...What part of "wider view" do you not understand? I'm sorry I don't get my ideas when YOU think I should, but that doesn't make them less true. My comments apply to both parties. My union dues? A spit in the ocean, but I resent that they were used to peddle influence. Did I enjoy the protection my union got for me? Yes I did. Did you enjoy the innovations for your kids that the emboldened teachers were able to employ because of their union protections? No unions = less innovation. It is politically too dangerous for an individual to attempt. Education is a very dicey profession from a legal point of view. Everything a teacher does is open to public scrutiny. No matter what you do, you are going to make someone unhappy. (Cops have the same problems) Individuals need some protections from the vagaries of the public or not too many people will become, or stay as, teachers. So, if everything is so "obvious", why aren't you understanding it?
Bob McBride
12:57 pm on Sunday, January 6, 2013
Here's what's obvious, Dave. And it should be obvious to you as well. You're willing to put up with it, even if you don't like it, if you think it serves a purpose you believe in.
Talk is cheap. You had a chance back then to attempt to buck the system, if this isn't just some late-found revelation for you. If it is, then you're very late to the game. If it's not, then when it was convenient (read that, to your personal benefit) for you to ignore it, you did.
That's the "wider view", Dave. it includes perceiving your own complicity and owning it, rather than attempting to justify it while pointing the finger everywhere else.
12:57 pm on Sunday, January 6, 2013
I don't think anyone takes Bob McBride "seriously" in this forum or any other he shows up in. He is just the same old, same old. And give kudos to Ron Johnson. He voted correctly. (And of course here comes Bob's bashing....you know it if you read the patch.......)

Yes facts. The size of government is not just the payroll head-count adjustment during a Presidential term;the size of government is the percent of GDP(link to pretty graph): http://www.usgovernmentspending.com/spending_chart_1900_2016USp_13s1li0181140_734cs_F0t_US_Total_Government_Spending
One might want to include State and Local spending(another pretty graph link):
8:39 am on Monday, January 7, 2013
As I've written before, "we" are the government. "We" should be very careful in interpreting what we want "limited" government to mean. Anything that reduces my access to government I am against. Anything that skews toward special treatment for small groups at the expense of the entire "we" I am against.
Human nature being what it is, there will always be maneuvering and deal-making. But it's gotten out-of-hand. Until the special interest groups are pushed back we are going to continue to have serious problems in this country.
FreeThought Troy
9:42 am on Monday, January 7, 2013
I agree with a prior post. If we really want to get serious about our spending, we need to step up the timeline to leave Afghanistan, review and cut the military complex to become a lean and flexible fighting force. We nee to review the corporate tax code eliminating loop holes so incredibly profitable companies (GE for example) actually pay some taxes. We need to cut off the subsidies to oil companies – the most profitable companies in the country. These steps would bring billions to the deficit. Let us not forget the spending under the last three Republican Presidents (Reagan, Bush and Bush). How Democrats got the bum rap about spending escapes me.
10:00 am on Monday, January 7, 2013
What was the tax 'loophole' that caused GE to pay no federal taxes for that year? Perhaps they really weren't as profitable as you think...
Oil companies really aren't the most profitable.
As I mentioned before, earnings figures expressed as dollars don't tell the whole story. The profitability of a company should reflect their return on the money spent/invested for the year. Larger companies are usually going to earn more profit dollars than a smaller company--it's because they are big, not because they are unusually profitable. A company that makes $1 billion in profits, but spends $100 billion doing it is actually less profitable than a company that spends $100,000 and makes $50,000 in profits.
10:07 am on Monday, January 7, 2013
Excuse me, but I thought 'profits' were gross revenue minus operating expenses.
A company that took in $one billion in gross revenues and spent $100 billion doing it is actually running at a loss.
11:03 am on Monday, January 7, 2013
You forgot the math, Randy. The total revenues in my exmple would be $101 billion. $100 billion in expenses, $1 billion in profits.
11:06 am on Monday, January 7, 2013
The idea was to make the math easy. The billion dollar company had 1% profitability, while the other had 50% profitability ($150k total revenues).
11:08 am on Monday, January 7, 2013
Your post should have made that clearer. However, even if that $1 billion in profits represented a small profit margin, the company damn well owes tax on the $1 billion.
11:09 am on Monday, January 7, 2013
I thought my post stated rather clearly that the $1 billion was 'profits', not 'total revenues' as you read it to be.
11:13 am on Monday, January 7, 2013
If you know the difference between revenues and profits, then I apologize, but this is on a board where many people don't understand the distinction between deficits and debt.
11:21 am on Monday, January 7, 2013
Really, Alfred? Because mostly I see the conservatives making that mistake. Including Social Security benefits in the drive to cut our 'deficit', when SS is not part of the 'deficit'.

That certainly sounds like a lot of money, but it isn't necessarily the most profitable return for the investment.

I love that the average liberal like little boy Troy is so dumb he thinks corporations actually pay taxes. If the govt adds tax to a corporation, do you think they cut the executives pay to compensate? Take it out of profits? Or raise prices? If govt imposes $1 per item tax, how much more do you think you pay? Likely you would pay $1.35 – $2 more!

For all the liberals out there like little boy Troy who love to hate the oil companies, I suggest you stop for a second and just look around your mommies basement, where you probably live. EVERYTHING you can see or touch, and I mean EVERYTHING…is either made from petroleum or was delivered to its present location BY petroleum. That includes your clothes, food and shelter. Without America's genius in developing the thousands of products and by-products from oil, you'd lead a pretty miserable life by comparison. You should be cheering them on.

Obama's reelection said volumes on the disparity of wealth that historically exists within the Democrat party between those of their party that don't have a pot to pee in (you know who they are) versus those that have way more then 2 pots to pee in (Hollywooders, NY 5th Avenuer's, senator's, Bernanke, Bloomberg, GM executives, rock and rollers, union bosses, media talking heads, news paper owners, Soros, Gates, Buffet, Geithners, Gore, the Hilly Billy Clinton clan, health insurer's, many other corporations, and everyone of the TITANS OF WEALTH (all Democrats) that appeared in Forbes recently, etc etc).
Liberals historically blaming the conservatives for this disparity adds up to a conspiracy theory created by liberals. If conservatives really did create the disparity existing in the Democrat party they would have had to devise secret methods to first create the megalomaniac millionaires (and billionaires) in the Democrat party and insure that they kept their wealth.
Conservatives will never get a nobel pease prize for the Democrat party's tireless effort to eliminate the disparity gap in their party by aborting those (you know who they are) that would create a financial threat to the Democrat party.
That conservative secret methods gave life and intelligence to money then taught it where to go and what to do as well as the life and intelligence they also gave to guns then teaching them too where to go and what to do also. Conservative's are obviously omnipotant.

DELISH!!! These were so easy to make, and the crockpot makes the cheesecake delish!
Basic New York cheesecake recipe, (no crust).
Mix all the ingredients together (except the chocolate chips which will be melted later)
Now comes the FUN!! Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave and add a little oil to make them smooth. Crush the graham crackers finely, they will go over the cheesecake balls to finish them!
Using just a spoon, place balls of cheesecake on a cookie pan or wax paper. Then add the chocolate on top!
Add the graham crackers to finish this amazing dessert. Refrigerate or freeze and serve cold! Hope you enjoy this fun place on cheesecake, make sure to pin it!
Chocolate Cheesecake Balls (Crockpot Style) |
- 2 packages of Philadelphia cream cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp of vanilla
- 1/3 cup of sugar
- 1/2 cup of sour cream
- 2 tbsp of soften butter for cheesecake
- I package of graham crackers
- 1 cup of chocolate chips
- The first thing you will need to do is make sure your cream cheese is room temperature.

- Cook on high for 2-3 hours depending on your crockpot. Test the middle by touching it with your finger. If the middle is solid then it's done.

Why donate to United to End Genocide?
Because we're hard at work addressing the growing humanitarian crisis in Sudan where hundreds of thousands of people remain at risk. But we're also expanding our reach — developing strong campaigns to address crimes against humanity and hold brutal regimes and dictators responsible for their terror — in Syria, Burma, the Congo and anywhere the threat of genocide exists.
Your gift today will help ensure that we have the resources to end violence and stop fueling conflict by:
- Demanding action and amplifying your voice. We sound the alarm, demand action from government leaders and hold corporations and violent regimes accountable through direct action, advocacy, and education.
- Following the money to end genocide. We recognize that money from oil, gas, and mineral extraction often finance perpetrators of mass atrocities. We call on our activists to take action against corporations that profit from violence.
- Build and sustain our movement. One of the key roles we play is the connector — we bring together our End Genocide leaders, faith leaders at the community level, leaders from our survivors network and students — to ensure the movement whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

And so it begins
I like to tell love stories. There are so many different stories I could tell out of the land, but when I sit to write down my stories, or transcribe the stories of others, I always end up back at love. Every good story has love or hate at the heart.
Of course, love gets messy. In the Ruling Class Province, the nice thing about relationships between women and men was that everything was at least surface neat. Neat because the women did the picking and choosing and the men didn't have the least thing to say about whom they were taken by. Usually they couldn't say because the men were often gagged during any slave trading rituals, gagged and bound with arms stretched backwards.
The symbolism of taking away the traded males' language with gags wasn't lost on the ruling women, because no visual symbolism was lost on them, having been taught through the generations the prize of beauty, symmetry and visual expressiveness in everything they did.
Of all of the women's possessions, the men were the most beautiful. Their beauty was in hard bodies, in forced labor, in tight bondage, in whipped torsos, in helpless fuck positions, in submission against and by will. Nothing in that society recognized the concept of love between women and men, but love was ever present. As was hate. The men could either love or hate the women who ruled their lives and punished them for pleasure, ritual and lust; it sometimes came to love, or hate, or both woven together in the same unnamed emotion, all controlled to be very beautiful, orderly and neat in outward, lovely visuals.
Relationships in The Communities, well, there was nothing neat about those, at least in the choosing stage. Forced marriage had gone out several generations ago, and men freely chose which woman to be married by. Even though, by society design, the men had few economic or educational opportunities apart from what their eventual wives afforded them, the men were free to make all kinds of wise or stupid choices in agreeing to marriage. Spy on the conversation of a group of unmarried women in a bar one evening, and an outsider would hear an earful of complaints about love lost from stupid male choices. The complaints would be choosing beauty over intelligence, money and status over integrity, flattery over sincerity, and the like.
Eventually, the women would turn to whispering tales written by The Sons of Class, dirty underground Ruling Class tales of how men had no choices, whipped and used by the ruling class women, taken and beaten and fucked, no choices. And the drunken women would inevitably conclude that this was the way things should be, all throughout the land, no choices for men, just taken, beaten and fucked in all kinds of ways.
In the morning light, the women of The Communities meant none of it, but the sordid tales made them hot and felt good to trade drunkenly when scorned by love.
The Governing City, now there was a hot bed of messy love intrigue. The social structure was designed carefully enough to encourage order, hard working women with a small handful of owned males each, but there was too much of everything to keep actual order for very long. There were too many people packed in too small quarters. Too much traffic and stress and high stakes commerce. Men who were owned, in reality, had more freedom than could possibly be good for them, or for the women. There was at least one high profile scandal a year, where a woman committed illicit acts with the owned male of another woman....and many, many more scandals than that, shoved under rugs, quieted up by exchanges of money or power.
The Sons of Class loved writing stories about the Governing City, more than the Ruling Class, because avarice and treachery made for better reading than beauty and order. They wrote about women losing position all for the supposed love, or was it lust, of another woman's man, of social climbing men, seducing their way up to the most powerful woman. They wrote murder stories, women killing women, or killing their own man, consumed with betrayal, white hot with broken hearts. Many of the stories were pure fiction, but some were quite true, and how the Sons of Class came to know the details was its own mystery, sequestered as they were, well outside the City or the Ruling Province.
I have a lot of their stories, not all of them as many of the stories were lost, but I do have a lot of them to share with you. I also have some stories of my own. I'm attracted to the beauty and order of the Ruling Class, more than the messiness and heartbreak outside the province that compelled the Sons so. Also, my stories are true and the stories of the Sons a blurry mix of fact and fiction, not to take away from them; God, can they weave a tale.
So, I'll try to tell all the stories, theirs and mine, in due time.

NGLs Analytics and Insight: Rebalancing NGLs in an Unconventional North America
We are on the threshold of a wave of new natural gas liquids (NGLs) supply that offers potentially significant opportunities for all participants along the NGLs value chain.
Premise for a Study of North American Natural Gas Liquids
We are on the threshold of a wave of new natural gas liquids (NGLs) supply that offers potentially significant opportunities for all participants along the NGLs value chain, from producers to end users, as well as investors. However, the enormous potential of these new NGLs supplies is accompanied by a number of challenges to companies interested in fully realizing the benefits afforded by these new NGLs-related business opportunities.
- Growth prospects for shale gas and NGLs production. North American NGLs production is poised to increase sharply in conjunction with expected rapid growth in gas production, particularly from shale gas and tight oil formations.
- Diversity in shale gas liquids composition. As the principal contributors to the growth in NGLs supplies, shale gas plays prove to have surprisingly diverse compositions. Within certain shale plays there can be a fine line between significant volumes of associated gas liquids and relatively "dry" gas.
- Expected benefit from NGLs for shale gas economics. The market value of associated gas liquids generally provides an economic benefit and increases the viability of shale gas project economics, especially in low gas price environments.
- Impact of excess supply availability. In an environment of ample NGLs supplies, finding markets to absorb the associated gas liquids may be a challenge, as traditional end uses become saturated, increasing the likelihood that gas liquids prices could become depressed.
- Challenges to realizing full shale gas potential. In some shale gas plays, such as the Marcellus, gas located in some of the wetter portions of the play may not be produced because either the facilities to extract and transport the liquids are inadequate or local market demand is insufficient to support NGLs development.
There is diversity of wet gas within shale playsPurpose Of The Study
Recognizing the many NGLs-related opportunities, issues and challenges affecting the potential for future shale gas development, IHS is undertaking a study to engage all segments in the North American NGLs supply chain (including gas production, fractionation, transportation and end uses).
The study will:
- Define the current landscape of conventional gas, shale gas and tight oil plays and their related NGLs supply, demand and price trends
- Identify the critical issues affecting the development of shale gas as they pertain to every segment of the NGLs supply chain
- Prepare a comprehensive outlook (a Planning Case scenario) for NGLs supply, demand and price for each gas liquids product in every region for all major shale gas plays in North America
- Extending beyond the normal outlook for NGLs markets, this study will also examine the impact of uncertainty on the robustness of the North American NGLs outlook by preparing two fully quantified alternative scenarios covering all study elements

The exhibit Losing Ground: The Greatest Threat sponsored by Equus Magazine and Equine Land Conservation Resource will open at the International Museum of the Horse at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, KY on October 29, 2012. The exhibit will increase awareness and educate the public about the loss of horse lands, facilities and trails access in the United States. It demonstrates the value of horses, including their economic impact, to our communities and culture, and what can be done to protect these assets, not only for horse land owners, equestrians and equine enthusiasts, but for communities and the nation as a whole. Furthermore, it describes how 6,000 acres of open lands are lost to development every day. These are the lands we need to raise, ride and care for our horses. These are the hayfields, the competition grounds, the trails and the pastures that support our rich American equine culture.
"It has always been the museum's mission to look at pressing problems within the equine community, and the alarming disappearance of land for horses has to be near the top of the list," says International Museum of the Horse Director, Bill Cooke.
The exhibit consists of an extensive mural that dramatically shows the threat of unplanned development on existing horse lands. A video film, produced by Post Time Productions and developed by ELCR, is the visitor's first view of the exhibit which quickly draws the visitor into the story of American's love for the horse and the threat to the very land needed to support our equine population. Three interactive kiosk stations allow the visitor to explore the following topic areas: why horses make 'good neighbors'; loss of land and trails access; and a "call to action" that describes what individuals can do to get informed, organize and advocate locally and nationally for protection of horse lands, facilities and trail access with the help and resources of ELCR.
As part of the exhibition, visitors receive a complimentary copy of a Losing Ground: The Greatest Threat an EQUUS special report on conserving land and trails for horses, sponsored by Pfizer Animal Health. "At EQUUS we've seen firsthand how important it is to preserve open space and trail access," says EQUUS editor Laurie Prinz. "And we know that the first step in effective advocacy is informing Equestrians and the public at large about what's at stake. We appreciate that Pfizer has made possible a special publication highlighting land use issues."
"As the only national organization working to conserve land for equine related use, ELCR is proud to partner with Equus magazine on this important project that will raise awareness of the need to protect our horse lands now, before it is too late," says ELCR CEO, Anna Gibson. "The land we save in the next fifteen years will determine the future of our equine culture, lifestyle and landscape for future generations."
About the Equine Land Conservation Resource (ELCR): The Equine Land Conservation Resource is the only national not-for-profit organization advancing the conservation of land for horse-related activity. ELCR serves as an information and networking resource for land and horse owner, organizations, agencies and all equine enthusiasts on issues related to farm and ranch land conservation, land use planning, farm and ranch land stewardship/best management practices, trail access and sustainability, liability and equine economic impacts. For more information about the ELCR visit our website at www.elcr.org or call (859) 455-8383.
About the Equine Network: The Equine Network provides, creates and distributes relevant content and services to passionate horse enthusiasts while connecting them to each other and the marketplace. The Equine Network is the publisher of award-winning magazines Horse & Rider, EQUUS, Dressage Today, The Trail Rider, Spin To Win Rodeo, American Cowboy, Practical Horseman and Horse Journal.

Lexington, KY- Calling all pony lovers, it's your time to shine in the latest exhibit at the Wheeler Museum, located in the USHJA Headquarters at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Kentucky. The exhibit, Ponies Through the Decades pays homage to a vital part of both the sport of horse showing itself, and the people and ponies throughout history, who have influenced us all.
A special opening reception hosted by USHJA was held on May 15th and officially debuted memorabilia from some of history's most revered pony athletes such as, Midget, a 12.3 hand grey mare owned by Nancy Baroody. This pair is one of the most successful teams on record, having won the American Horse Show Association's (now USEF) most coveted Horse of the Year Award four consecutive years- 1966, 1967, 1968 and 1969, and during this era were the highest scoring junior horse or pony in the history of the AHSA awards. Nancy has donated much of Midget's legacy to the exhibit and shared her insight on the exhibit, "I'm so happy that I can share her legacy with everyone, because from an educational and a historical standpoint this era really was the beginning of the sport with the ponies and it [the exhibit] really shows people how the sport began with these ponies. The attire and the kind of appointments we used. I'm hoping people can see the perspective of it all-where we've come from and where we are today.".
Ponies Through the Decades presents the pictures, ribbons, coolers, and trophies that these special and often famous ponies have been awarded. Among these treasures guests will learn about Gremlin's Delight, the little mare that Marguerite Taylor-Jones purchased from Farnely Farm for the then three year-old daughter Marianne. Gremlin would become a champion at events nationwide and in 1961, partnered with Sally Todd produce a perfect score over fences to take the win at the International Pony Team competition held on the grounds of Windsor Castle in England. Gremlin went on to become the foundation broodmare for the highly respected Taylor Made Ponies breeding program. Many of the mare's prodigies, such as Dresden and Swan Song inherited her championship qualities and continue to be celebrated among the greatest equine athletes. Throughout this exhibit are mementos capturing the Taylor Made Ponies glorious history and influence in our sport.
"Working with the Wheeler Museum Committee to put together the Ponies Through the Decades exhibit really made me understand the importance of our museum in preserving and keeping alive the history of our sport. In the process of putting this exhibit together we built connections with so many individuals who are passionate about our sport and were so excited to have the opportunity to share their memories of special ponies with us, tell us how the Taylor Made line of ponies came about, remind us of the days when ponies and horses competed head to head at the National Horse Show, share their experiences traveling as a team member to represent the US at the International Pony Hunter Competitions and so much more. We have a responsibility and opportunity with the Wheeler Museum to make sure that those new to our sport are aware of its history and I feel that this exhibit has propelled us forward toward achieving that goal." Shelby French, CEO USHJA said.
The pony loving public is invited to visit and learn how many of our most accomplished riders today started out as pony riders, and take a look at how history has evolved with regard to ponies and their special place in our sport. Grandparents and parents alike, who are horsemen and horsewomen themselves, can both reminisce and share memories. Spectacular sterling silver goblets, gorgeous ribbon displays, specially created Breyer® horses, wardrobe items, and exquisite retired trophies from such prestigious shows as Devon, will be just a few of the items on display. The exhibit opened May 15th at the Wheeler Museum and will continue until September 23rd.

For people who like to talk smack to you, meddle in your life, and judge where it isn't their place, I recommend "None of Your Business" by Salt n' Pepa, and of course the ever awesome "Free Your Mind" by En Vogue.
I vote for 'I Will Survive'.
My favorite song when I am feeling like the world is out to get me is Rodney Atkins, "If your going thru hell.""If you're going through hellKeep on going, don't slow downIf you're scared, don't show itYou might get outBefore the devil even knows you're there"

Part of the problem with men being part of feminism is that 'community' isn't like it traditionally was used. In most things called 'communities', most people know everyone else or it's run by people who try to be familiar with everyone. Even these days, in small towns, some people will hear about everyone else in town even if you dont' meet face to face. But communities and movements like feminism- there are people in them that will never ever meet or hear about each other. A privileged person can't be accepted into a community and have everyone know why and know that it's because the person's given signs that they deserve it and aren't just abusing their privilege and trying to make yet another space all about them.
And a lot of people do abuse that, you get men who claim to be feminists because they think it'll get them what they want from women or so they can use feminist key-words to attack women who speak against misogyny, you get various privileged people claim to support people they have privilege over so they can take over and get a power trip while getting back-pats from other privileged people.
Whether or not men 'can' be feminists, seeing a man who you don't know claiming to be a feminist is going to be a red flag for a lot of people because of people who do that.
But, really, any man who's calling himself a feminist really should be aware of his privilege enough to be aware of that and accept it.
