    "Tis the night - the NIGHT

    Are you one of Romney's 47% Zarah?
     

    "JACKSON'S LOVE - FOR THE LOVE OF A CHILD" - MY BRAND NEW CD - HAS JUST BEEN RECORDED - WATCH FOR IT SOON @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT MITT ROMNEY'S 47% ...

    "There are 47% of the people (over 141,000,000 people) who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47% who are with him, who are DEPENDENT UPON GOVERNMENT, who believe that they are VICTIMES, who believe the government has a responsibility to CARE FOR THEM, who believe that they are ENTITLED to HEALTH CARE, to FOOD, to HOUSING, to YOU-NAME-IT. That that’s an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what…These are people who pay no income tax…MY JOB IS NOT TO WORRY ABOUT THOSE PEOPLE. I’ll never convince them they should take PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY and care for their lives."

    ~ Mitt Romney

    HE DOESN'T OFTEN INSULT HALF THE AMERICAN PUBLIC, BUT WHEN HE DOES, HE CHARGES $50,000.00 A PLATE TO HEAR HIM.

    What do you think about the 47% Zarah?
     

    "JACKSON'S LOVE - FOR THE LOVE OF A CHILD" - MY BRAND NEW CD - HAS JUST BEEN RECORDED - WATCH FOR IT SOON @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT 47% of America ...

    Who are the 47% of Americans that pay no federal taxes?

    >  70% are workers who pay payroll taxes

    >  17% are the elderly who receive social security

    >  13% are students, active members of the military,
        the disabled, and the working poor

    >  They are ordinary hard working Americans who deserve
        RESPECT

    With Love, Respect, and Peace, my dear friend

    POVERTY is the worst form of VIOLENCE Zarah!
       

    "JACKSON'S LOVE - FOR THE LOVE OF A CHILD" - MY BRAND NEW CD - HAS JUST BEEN RECORDED - WATCH FOR IT SOON @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT POVERTY IN AMERICA ...

    >  The United States is the richest country in the world.

    >  14.5% of U.S. households struggle to put food on the table

    >  This represents 48 million Americans and 16 million children

    >  Most Americans live in poverty at some point before age 65

    >  Over 65% of low income families have at least 1 member
        who is working and 79% of single parent families work.

    >  Over 44% of children live in low income working families

    "The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the

    abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide

    enough for those who have too little.”

    ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt

About me:

She was born Sara Stina Hedberg in Karlstad and died in Stockholm. Although Zarah Leander studied piano and violin already as a small child, and sang on stage for the first time at the age of six, she made a serious attempt at an ordinary life. As a teenager she lived two years in Riga (1922–1924), learned the then most important international language, German, took up work as a secretary, married Nils Leander (1926), and had two children (1927 & 1929). However, in 1929 she was engaged, as an amateur, in a touring cabaret by the leading entertainer and producer Ernst Rolf and for the first time sang "Vill ni se en stjärna," ('Do you want to see a star?') which soon would become her signature tune. In 1930, she participated in four cabarets in the capital, Stockholm, made her first records, including a cover of Marlene Dietrich's "Falling in Love Again," and played a part in a film. However, it was as Hanna Glavari in Franz Lehár's operetta The Merry Widow that she had her definitive break-through (1931). By then she had divorced Nils Leander. In the following years, she embarked on a splendid career and could make a decent living as a popular artist on stage and in film in Scandinavia. Her fame brought her proposals also from the European continent and from Hollywood, where a number of Swedish actors and directors were working. Zarah Leander opted for an international career on the European continent. As a mother of two school-age children, she ruled out a move to America. In her view it was, most of all, too insecure. She feared the consequences, should she bring the children with her such a great distance and subsequently be unable to find employment. Despite the political situation, Austria and Germany were much closer, and Leander was already well-versed in German. A second breakthrough, by contemporary measures her international debut, was the world premiere (1936) of Axel an der Himmelstür at the Theater an der Wien in Vienna, directed by Max Hansen. It was a parody on Hollywood and not the least a parody of the German Marlene Dietrich, who had fled a Europe marked by Mussolini's, Stalin's and Hitler's stars. It was followed by the Austrian film Premiere, in which she played the role of a successful cabaret star. Read more att the Wikipedia and www.zarahleander.blogg.se (all in swedish). WELCOME! //janne
