Everybody's Clamoring For Spoils

When my children were 4 and 5 years old, after having taught them to share and play nice, I nudged them to get out there and get their share of the candy being thrown from the floats in the parade. Nothing scalds a Mom worse than to see her babies crying that they were elbowed out of something being given away to everybody by bigger boys who weren't supposed to even be there.

Philadelphia is hosting the O Bomb - I can no longer bring myself to refer to him as the President, because I am convinced that the real Power has left the Oval and is now firmly held in the lamps of those in search of an honest Man or Woman. I've arrived, in need of a plateau upon which to array my lessons and sort out the keepers, to Fox News. After hearing O'Reilley's

Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity                       

on audiobook, and processing the appearances of PUMA Protesters on the only network that would even cover them, I find solace and comfort in the gravel-voiced Neil Cavuto. He's showing the rally crowd building for a Presidential visit and looking at Barney Frank's race in Boston. The finance guys, Cavuto, Forbes, Varney, even MSNBC's Ratigan, have questioned why Frank isn't in jail, yet NOTHING IS HAPPENING TO FREDDY & FANNIE! Dodd's gone; why should Frank skate? The hard-line insiders insist they'll hold their seats, but the People say otherwise. We'll see.

When I get emails from Women In Communication complaining that not enough women have anchor jobs, then they switch it to "Women of Color" needing more opportunity, I just turn to Fox where I can see, hear and agree or disagree with women as anchors, commenters, contributors ALL DAY AND NIGHT! What are they talking about? Sure, the only women on MSNBC are Andrea (Mrs. Greenspan/Insider Gossip Girl) and Rachael Maddow (who must always pay homage to Getting Old,Man)and Obama's BJ, Mika. But that's YOUR loss for staying tuned to those misogynists.

Here's what's happening:  Admittedly, the Fox News Network was a Bush Water Boy, a Cheyney / Rove Mouthpiece, but they're gone.   As the Fox Journalism Professionals discover reasonable people (who happen to be registered Democrats) are watching, hopeful of hearing both sides of the story, they're actually rising to the occasion.

Not perfectly, to be sure: Hannity still thinks the Republicans are 'winning' with no comprehension of the reality that it's the Democrats being rejected by Women who are "kissing frogs" to make their 'males' jealous.
The question is this: do Democrats recover their upbringing and return to being gentlemen? Or do they continue to devolve into combatants for the spoils?

I'm reminded of the time I went to the ZZ Top concert in Atlanta, where I stood online - not moving - while the bartenders were working furiouisly... turned out the Texan's groupies were standing at the service entrance passing drinks to their bud's in the stands while paying customers in front of the counters were neglected. "WTF?" somebody finally wised up and demanded. And the graft-collecting ARA Concession Employees went back to waiting on patrons instead of shoveling it out the back door to the tippers.

Happy "All Hallows Eve, All Saints & All Souls!

Ave Maria! He's actually interviewing Rob Blogojevich about the loss Dems face on Tuesday. Rob's talking like a 'sitting governor' which makes me wonder why Axlerod & Valerie Jarrett would overturn a perfectly valid election to tamper with the Senate Seating Chart? Each time Dana Perino participates in reviews of the Obama Administration, I am impressed by her pragmatism and enlightened when she reveals notes from her years at Glibb's podium.

As Hillary is given her "marching orders" to betray the children of Chad, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sudan and Yemen by making them fodder and gotcha bombs for American G.I.s, we can only expect her and Bill to pull over and get off the Bus. The Heads of State upon whom Secretary Clinton has been calling for two years have said their piece. Nothing about Mr. O comes even close to what they can get via working with the Clintons. Who doesn't see this Family Fued coming together? Nothing happens until after November 1. Then, the switch is flipped and what was shifts. Lots of fur's about to fly. Gee, Santa, I hope that wished-for Chinchilla jacket's in the wind. Until then, instead of being on pins and needles, we have Comedy Central's live broadcast, Saturday, of the Rally to Restore Sanity,

and Football Night In America brings us the Steelers & the Saints. What a great atmosphere in which to tip a few beers and be silly! Tuesday will get here soon enough. Trick or Treat first, All "Hallows" next, then the "I can see you from my HOUSE - All Souls & The Polls."
