The Baseless "Left Base" Is Getting Played, Not Played To

Hey, Hackers!  He's not playing to his "base" - he's PLAYING his Base.  Pull your heads out and try to act like you've got a clue:)  The Scribe of Western Pennsylvania Progressives forwarded this email Wednesday, the same day they pitched a righteously indignant fit over Governor Palin's Face Book video posting.  Mind you; I had to Google and go to Palin's FaceBook page to hear her message.  This trash was directed to me personally into my inbox with a caption applauding the author and assertion that he "speaks for All Of Us."

"The Wrath Of Fools: An Open Letter To The Far Right" ... authored by William Rivers Pitt.

The tirade begins with the title: Blood On Your Hands over a graphic of cross-hairs and launches into an insane collection of every trite, unfounded accusation hurled against Sarah Palin, Fox News, and anybody who dares resist the claw of Obama Worship.  These folk don't understand Muslim Jihad and Christian Holy War because they are, pathetically, consumed by that same irrational will to impose their beliefs on everyone.

This piece of irrational hate is a quintissential demonstration of  "Not My Fault, They Started It!" irresponsible blogging.  It has all the same earmarks of the sort of intensity the perp displayed leading up to his shooting spree in Tucson.  The emotion revealed here is both disturbing and preposterous.  The author is irrational and self-serving.  That his defiant accusations would be distributed by anybody is an offense to my rational understanding of what constitutes the sort of rhetoric and tone we've all been cautioned to avoid.  It is not something to which any responsible activist or leader should respond except to gently point out to the proponents that it is inappropriate.  (As I did.)  http://www.truth-out.org/the-wrath-fools-an-open-letter-to-far-right66686

The flag, here, is the name-calling, the pompous indignation and the general tone of outrage.  In business, we learn that political assertion-behavior is guaranteed to lose customers.  In volunteer work, we learn that people leave in droves when they are made to feel awkward or uncomfortable. I am coming to understand that instinct.  Get too far over the edge and nobody wants to be around you because you are obsessed.  This, I learned during my own crazy season, is dangerous ground.

In Grifford's district, guns are the big story.  Guns are bought from American Dealers by Mexican Drug Cartels and Jihaddists infiltrating the trafficers to defend the commerce of the underground most profitably engaged in the sale of drugs to Americans self-medicating.  Who needs "Health Care" and Prescription Drug coverage when we have the entire reason for 9-11 setting up in Arizona 8 to invade?  That crazy guy who attacked and slaughtered the peacably assembling Americans?  Yeah, he was the XY getting off on subordinating a woman who dared to exercise the Power of the People.  His day, however, has passed.  Griffords went on with her work with full knowledge of the inherent danger of being a "law enforcement professional" in this border district.  She had to be intimately aware of the kidnappings and assassinations of Office Holders and their families in the Mexican communities and embassies on the other side of the border -the urgency for protection of which the Obama Administration simply doesn't get.

I can no longer indulge this extended learning curve catering to the Locked In "Their Comfort Zone" Left.  As I hear the continued drubbing, by leftists, of Palin for her self respect, I am virtually re-living my own season of torment by these misguided people.  Stable, sober people living their lives and supporting their families, communities and dreams have simply dropped their interest in these grudge-nurturing demonstrations of unkindness.  They look around their meetings and discover they don't have a quorum.  Former loyal attendees' admonitions that their personal attacks are a waste of the time of those who have gotten involved to foster change, not beat proverbial dead horsemeat go unheeded.

Silent indifference to the moderates' pleas have evolved into abandonment by those Unheeded Moderates.  There are better ways to spend our time.  The trade-off of an evening with my Family to come to a County Committee meeting and listen to enraged "progressives" launch relentless, personal assaults on those who are representing an alternate view, is not the reason we got involved.  It has asserted the logical conclusion that It's time to get DISASSOCIATED with these unbusiness-like actors.

MSNBC gives Obama his daily blow job

Hacking away at Palin, the guys are in re-election mode.  No matter what O does, the sucking guys can praise and lavish compliments out their ears for the sopping public to consume without question.  To reflective, thinking Americans, however, the speech at the Arizona memorial was standard bullshit from Obama...feeding off Women and the cheers of the crowd.  This time, they don't see, however, that the crowd "gets the guy" and weren't cheering for him so much as for Gabby and themselves.

I was struck by the demeanor of the crowd, not weeping and somber, but applauding, whistling, resurging and full of the American Spirit.  They didn't need the President reassuring them.  Instead, they gave him the Arizona Phoenix: a bird that rises from it's own ashes.  The milling crowd awaiting the "service" included all the Women; Jan Brewer, the Governor who realized she'd have to get the job done without the feds and communicated to the People of Arizona 8 that the kidnapping and murders in Giffords' District would be addressed head on, as they come together.  Napolitano, former governor and Home Land Security director whose "inaction" in an attempt to be politically correct to the guy who appointed her, is forced to endure the suffering of her own constituents.

I'm sick of the way the press strains to stretch any little thing this guy does into a jewell, as though he personally manifests excellence with each breath.  I'm not jealous, just discerning.  I read and viewed Sarah Palin's statement - one that reflected the very sentiments we all need to "see."  The coverage on it was insulting to my intelligence, petty and vindictive.  The men who siezed the statement as yet another opportunity for a cheap, fraternity "take off" on the bitch who routinely kicks their ass, alerted me that the re-election staging and manipulation of the way we see the candidates is in operation mode.

Nancy Pelosi, Debbie Wasserman-Shultz and Kirsten Gillibrand comprised the "Girl Power" that OPENED THE EYES of Gabrielle Giffords.  In their presence, and with all the energy of the National Powers That Be, the healing happened.  But, it manifested to those who came to console and "see for themselves" what the residents had endured.  What the President, the Minority Leader and the media observed was the Strong lending their reassuring grace to Powers That Believe Themselves To Be."  What they saw was a community that refused to give Obama the unearned honorarium he has universally been handed everywhere else. The cultivators of the dessert, the tamers of the "Wild West" who will not indulge the pretentious prince and his sycophants showed up last night.  They courteously gave ground to the Pres, who was there to see his hospitalized colleague.  But they held their ground when the stage had been set for him to raise his "healing" hands of condescension of them.  They showed - instiinctively - who needed healing.  And in the moment of their first cheer, the People of Arizona, the People who re-elected John McCain for the umpteenth time, the People who dispensed with the preachy, "Christian" approach, and observed, instead, through the traditions and sentiments of NATIVE AMERICANS.  We are not "inner city" helpless here.  We are self-sufficient, self-respecting and self-actualizing.  You work for US, and while you're here, we'll give you a quick tutorial in how we get it done. 

Drug Thugs killing our ranchers?  We're fashioning a defense.  Illegal Immigrants exploiting the Fed's porous borders?  We'll call them ILLEGALS and you'll recognize we're a State that leads by observing the LAW, by enforcing it!  We're the tone-setters here.  We'll communicate our standards, our expectations, our CODE of conduct and ethics to our Visitors.  We stand in our 10th Amendment Soveriegnty and you'll respect us.

After weighing all that Arizona has endured, observing the demeanor of their leadership in response, I get this message:  Arizona does not surrender, but, in fact exercises fully, its reserved powers.  To the visitors, they have presented a dignified face, a gracious hosting attitude, but all the Force of The Ship of State.  Battleship U.S.S. Arizona, moored at Pearl Harbor on the morning of December 7, 1941, is the symbol of our memories of entering World War II.  The 1100 murdered by surprise attack are memorialized in Hawaii in the name of Arizona.  A bit of tradition, of understanding, of recognition was communicated to the visitors.

First Amenement

Some of us remain in our vortex amid storming, competing volatiles.  Nothing says more convincingly to me that we are in the throes of a revolution than the frequency with which I am reminded of politicians' settled differences with pistols in duels.  The 10 disc set audio book about Alexander Hamilton, who met his own end in a duel with Aaron Burr, (crooked, self-serving, devil channelling politician,) has accompanied me on long drives for the past month, chronicling the New York vs. Virginia struggle between the Federalists and
Sarah Palin: "America's Enduring Strength" from Sarah Palin on Vimeo.
those who represented the original colonies advocating alternative forms of governing the newly born Nation.

Just days before she was shot, Congresswoman Giffords read the First Amendment on the floor of the House. It was a beautiful moment and more than simply “symbolic,” as some claim, to have the Constitution read by our Congress. I am confident she knew that reading our sacred charter of liberty was more than just “symbolic.” But less than a week after Congresswoman Giffords reaffirmed our protected freedoms, another member of Congress announced that he would propose a law that would criminalize speech he found offensive.

This woman, "Walking the Talk," proposed that Congress lead by example and take a 5% pay cut during these difficult times.  She represents the district that is the "most porous" along our nation's border with Mexico and where a rancher was killed on his family's own property by drug cartel thugs.   Gabrielle Giffords reveals more about herself, her courage and her fidelity to American Principles in this one interview than I could ever say about her.  Given the murder and kidnapping of public officials in her district, where sensitive Latinos lobby to stop even using the label illegal immigrant to reference the issues surrounding border trouble, she most certainly knew she faced a similar fate.  Better to die on your feet than to live on your knees,  Che poster hangers.  But "give your life for your country" knowing you will live on your feet ever vigilant of your freedoms, Giffords lived every day in service to her Country with the Grace of one who understands.  If we lose our freedoms, we have no reason to live.  And therefore, we stand strong in defense of our first amendment freedoms, reminding fellow Congressmen:  we shall make no laws ... Blue Dog (former Republican) Democrat, Gifford represents the very best of Women who represent us. While I may disagree with a percentage of her votes, I recognize her fidelity to serve honorably. Viewing this video, and knowing what I know about the law enforcement figures in Arizona's 8th Congressional District, Giffords led by example. Pima County Sheriff, Clarence Dupnik, likewise walks in this unrelenting terror of drug runners feeding the American demand for self-medicated escape from that which they have become. Tne Congresswoman lived in a vortex that anchors the faith of the residents of Arizona's 8th, AZ-8 In her district, John McCain and Sarah Palin developed the plans for their 2008 Campaign. She exchanged ideas with those at the very head of the trail leading to balance between the Progressive Agenda and the Tea Party Traditionalists. Little surprise that - in "reaction" rather than response to the incident last weekend in Arizona, the Chairman of the Philadelphia Democratic Party and Congressman, Bob Brady PA-1 announced plans to criminalize criticsm of his already too insulated colleagues. I have my own issues with Brady, on the Pennsylvania Democratic State Committee, disgusted with his Progressive-Pushing manipulation of power mad young males, and his failure to respect the traditional Democrats of Eastern Pennsylvania. But the contrast between his big city district heavily supported, influenced and sprawled upon by organized labor, and Giffords is most demonstrated in the response each of them had to this attack. While Gifford coreographs her movements with her doctors, her constituents and her well-wishers, Brady attempts to refine the laws covering his behind. Again, reminders of the throes of revolution in which we function, Brady represents the district in Pennsyvania that was, in effect, the Nation's very first Congressional District.  Here the Spirit of Thomas Jefferson infuses the Patriot.  Here Ben  Franklin invented and developed revolutionary but every-day concepts like paved streets and volunteer fire departments that made for better living. Here  James Madison, John Hancock and Betsy Ross rose to the occasion and formed this Commonwealth, this Country.  And here lurks the Revolutionary Spirit. Work rather than fight, live in the protective light of divine protection and so long as your work remains to be done, you are secure. The bullet that penetrated her skull most surely was guided by gentle energies of those who have already crossed over and can now only remain near her as protective shields. ][ This "EYE" bridges those of us who remain condensed on this side. We applaud the work of those of you across the divide. We whisper our acknowledgement of your graceful presence and thank you for coming. By your results, we are alerted to all the reasons for which we believe. Here in our vortex, your ability to view all that is obscured by our malpracticing Fourth Estate is revealed to us as we need it. Your bird's eye perspective, your skelped warnings, your enveloping peace balances us. 

When operating harmoniously the Queen of Cups restores hope. She is like a burst of light in a dark place, a healing balm to a wounded soul, and a cleansing rain which allows new growth to move closer to bloom. She comes with good intentions and speaks openly without guile....Her throne of caste stone remains afloat in a sea of tumult.   God has surely bless't us in giving us this woman.  Her choice to serve when she could readily succeed in any business substantiates my faith in the divinity within me that longs to join the kingdom of professionals who put their Country first and endure the moments, such as these, that prepare us for even greater service.

Women: We Know Tea Parties

Yes, it appears that dems love leaders who lead them into massacres and then are in full denial about how bad it was.
Remember 0 making fun of Hillary and saying her foreign affairs experience was nothing but tea parties?
After the midterms, I think knowing how to manage tea parties would have been a good thing to know!

...the comment section over at Riverdaugheter  http://riverdaughter.wordpress.com/2011/01/05/ch-ch-ch-changes/#comments  comes late to the Party... I've said since '08 the punk was in for a demonstration of most elucidating proportions....and such Mistick Krewe of Comusas wanna-be's as Michelle and twice Queen of Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club paraders, Desirée Rogers, are dyed-in-the-wool Cultural Warriors. 

I've complained, at length, about the insider obscurity of the African Culture Game played by Obams.  While he permitted his obotomized minions to foolishly cannonize him without a miracle for proof, he laughed cynically at them, no less than he ridiculed "typical white woman" Teas.  Hey; my Hornies: Nobody Teases Like the O.  No Playah be smoother, be the Man Women want to ride in the limo with.  And no more prestigious limo in which to portray smooth operator than the one armored by the People of the United States. 

We The People...represents a Constitution unimagined by any pampered preppie generations removed from the American Revolution.  None of us choose that route knowingly.  We carry it, nonetheless, in our Independent Hearts.  A Child reared by a rebellious mother whose very conception was a middle finger to her father, is not fairly introduced to Americana.  Frank Marshall Davis: interchangeable with Angela of the same sir, infected the ten year old fatherless male with concepts much too philosophical for one whose formative years were lived behind the gated facade of a State Department compound. The women his mother tutored in survival practices were regarded with contempt by Soetero, who placed all his "trust" in and bet his house on the police and underworld thugs. Stanley Ann Dunham's greatest contribution to her Kenyan lovers was the know-how to beat oppression.   Yet throughout his writings, her son takes his resolve from machismo and do-nothing guy talk that tea partying divas would dismiss with equal disinterest.

Get with it, O.  For all your gym attendance and pretty-boy fitness for hoops and shirtless surf, you cannot, legitimately, flex muscle.  You parade around with Press-idolized bare knucklers, but you never studied the most important lesson of your mother's pre-dawn discipline:  Internalization.  Let We the People demonstrate "flex."  It is borne of "Hands Across America," of mutual connections.  Your obscure racist collusion is as readily rejected by black Americans who have earned their community membership in the wider world of the Spirit of Revolution.  A steadfast venture into legitimate exchanges with Republicans would not only teach you the "American Way," but would strengthen and substantiate you for leadership.

As for those Tea Parties Hillary held as First Lady, we wonder what you know about Women, and how Jarrett could let you be comfortable emitting such a stupid crack, dismissing 52% plus of the Electorate.  We "dumped" you like Wikileaks: your exposed butt all over the map from Boston to Phoenix and everywhere in between.  Brewing, like stewing, takes time.  Steak, like you think of yourself, is flash.  When you're alone in your comfort zone, like Jack Sparrow, seeing your own face behind every answer to your "Why Me?" woes, I guarantee it'll be women who will redeem you.  They'll begin by inviting you to "TEA."  It won't be celebrated by Devlin and her ilk, I guess.  But even Hillary got her come-uppance for rejecting the cookie-baking world of How to Channel Exasperation With Your kids' fathers' "Dreams" without substance.

Getting Thrown Off The Freight Train

Lamar Alexander raises a point during the 112 Congress gear up about the fools of the outgoing majority needing "schooled" in the ways of Leading.  Watch and Learn, progressivess.  Your "We Won/We (W)rite the (W)rules."  In Session.  Here's how WE Work, Posers.  Cats in a Cooler: "No Surprises, Please."

Byrd's Poetic message all over the road in Arkansas, Filabuster be Sacred!  Don't change the Rules, change course, attitude, level of willingness to adhere to the Rules that permit everybody due process.  The Roolz Gangsta don't play by Rules.  They MAKE rules.  They had their opportunity and BLEW it.  God Save the Republican Traditionalists who stand firm in the face of those who would Rule Us rather than learn, "play by" and win according to our rules.

The words of outgoing Speaker Pelosi said it all:  Don't judge us by what we DO; We'll tell you what we did, regardless of what you see us do.  We have no grasp on Authority;  it's all about the symbols to us.  It simply doesn't do for the defeated Speaker to leave under the pretense that her "drain the swamp" 111th was all about reducing the deficit, pay-as-you-go, and chanting the mantra of spending control.  I don't love being taken for a fool, but I really take unkindly to Nancy Pelosi representing herself as a Class Act.  When she has the chance, she shows - not Class, but her -can't-tell-a-lie-even-when-she-tries-to ASS. 

Political Weight

The governor of Pakistan’s Punjab province was shot dead by one of his own bodyguards yesterday. The governor, Salman Taseer, a senior member of the Pakistan People’s Party, backed changing the blasphemy laws. He was opposed by hardline Muslims because he appealed for the pardon of a Christian woman sentenced to death for blasphemy.

Reynaldo Dagsa, 35, had been taking a picture of his family on New Year's Day when Michael Gonzales - whose arrest Dagsa had ordered for stealing cars - stepped out from behind a car, took aim and fired. The left-hand portion of the photograph, seen here, shows how the killer came from behind a parked car to take aim at the politician. The gunman, also known by the underworld name of Fubo of Fish Pond Area was arrested soon afterwards when the district councilor’s wife, daughter and another female relative handed the camera to police. Dagsa had also photographed his killer's accomplice, seen lurking in the background. The gunman's accomplice, Rommel Oliva, photo right, watches Gonzales taking aim, the muzzle of his pistol highlighted by the camera flash. The main suspect, car thief out on bail, took revenge against Dagsa for ordering his arrest last year. The Gun rules in most Philippines cities and not a day goes by without someone being shot dead. Hired assassins are also on the loose, usually riding as pillion riders on motor bikes, their faces covered by visors. They pull alongside a victim's car, shoot him – and then ride off into the thick traffic. Cameras!!! Take One. And……

The Presence of a Child Makes It A Felony Offense

“Michael has tremendous pedigree, having been mentored by some of the very best coaches in the game. Most importantly, Michael is a man of character and integrity and will be an inspirational leader for our football program.”

University of Pittsburgh Football Coach, Michael Haywood, hired just 2 weeks ago, was released New Years weekend after posting bond.  A dispute escalated to physical confrontation in the presence of their child prompting his domestic partner to file assault charges.  ESPN reporting on New Years' Day, challenged the Panthers' fans and Alumni with a "Walk the Talk" moment.

For Panther Alumni, spending the Holiday in the company of familly members, the firing of Haywood was a no-brainer. Women, and the Men who love, cherish and respect them, rejected another "athlete" who missed the focal point of controlling one's self.  For her part in the dispute, the child's mother chose to go to the police rather than be pushed around.  As the result of her choice, the income, status and future in the rare air of privilege vanished.  Blink! He's gone.  Pitt Women wield a rare veto power over violent football and basketball players.  The message, over years of "communicating their displeasure" with jock violence, is getting across: "Not Here!" On College Football's biggest day, announcement of the arrest caught everybody in a "tight spot." 

The headline flashed over the presence of our own kids running around, playing with new toys as Families gathered for New Years Day dinners.   Uhh,... "Ouch."  That won't play. 

Nothing is left to say: Steeler Fans having already sorted out the responsible choice.  It is with delicious irony that the coach in question was hired away from the very football program that produced Big Ben; Miami of Ohio.  For the NFL, feeder programs that complicate the relationship with their audience and fan base are an issue.   The League also fined James Harrison hundreds of thousands of dollars for excessive roughness.  The message from the "Kingdom" NFL seems to be one of self control, restraint and legitimacy of strength.  Know The Rules!!!

For me, this is the "Black Hand on the Wall" meets the "Writing on the Wall" for the crowd that has been making their own rules as they need them.  For all the half-wit, dominance-driven "not-there-yets" the message remains a nebulous, indecipherable mystery.  Still "mad for the power," they must first be removed from the posts they abuse. 

Like the Income-Driven NFL, the incoming Republicans have a handle on making money vs. deficit spending that strangles development.  Instead of sweeping it under the rug, blowing smoke up our skirts and laughing all the way to the bank, the Pitt Alumnae just said, "No."

Sure, there's pain for the jocks, bowl game promoters, recruits and those who make a living in the program.  We hope they will find the support and needed counseling to get through this none the worse for wear.  For the Democrats, the Legitimately Strong participants in governing; the same fate looms.


  
This is utterly personal for me.  While Mike Kelly represents Notre Dame Football and men getting ahead on the strength of their football reputations, I know that Mike Walks the Talk. His own Republican Party is a joke next to the treatment everybody receives at Kelly's Dealership.  I can attest to that fact in my own experience.  Is it more about the almighty "program?"  Or is it, perhaps, the values, friendships and loyalties acquired via membership in any of the myriad "feeder programs" that make us adults, caring providers and role models for our children?  (in other words, Good Business Practices.)

Once we know better, it falls to us to do the right thing.  My money's on this rural, small town but big league player who has sold cars to Republicans, Democrats, Independents and even those who don't vote.  I have never met Mike Kelly, I only know him from the people who have dealt with him.  I know him from the people who have worked for him.  I know him from his advertising, his customer-centered service and the people who greeted me, treated me with respect and friendliness when I visited his dealership to sell them something.  Courtesy and Consideration were what I experienced.  They gave me their time and showed me - without ever having to try - WHY their boss is a gentleman.  His 70 year old Office Manager and one of his salesmen were generous and upbeat, energetic and healthy.  Even during times of economic downturn elsewhere, the dealership is jumping, people are getting the deals they need to go on with their work/lives and nobody is shunned.

I visited his campaign headquarters and received, likewise, a respectful greeting, a prompt and pleasant follow-up and an invitation to come back.  I get NONE OF THIS from the democrats.  From the Democrats, I get rude, insufferable abuse.  I get unrelenting criticism, corrected by people who clearly don't know what they're doing, treated like a child brushed aside by hackers unqualified to judge me so.  I get unbelievable stretched-to-the-limit assertions of all the things Obama has accomplished.  I get nothing I can verify, document or confirm anywhere but in the minds of those pitching the illusion that Obama is competent.   My journalistic training tells me that not only is the Country on the wrong track, the Fourth Estate is - like the Sugar Loaf Ski Lift, off the pulleys, about to fall and drop our trusting butts 30 feet.  Watching the "Face The Nation" clip, I am stricken by how routinely Harry dismisses Michelle Bachmann.  I am also losing patience with Wasserman-Schultz who allowed the Voters of Florida to be cheated out of their votes to obtain a leadership position - as a progressive - in the party.

REPRESENTATIVE-ELECT MIKE KELLY: No I’m not. I’m not. I-- I’ve always paid for my own

health care, I mean, you know, I-- I come from a private-- private sector, okay. I’ve been-- in my

whole life I’ve been responsible for everything that I do. And I think we’ve these conversations

and I think this absolutely goes back to the Middle Ages, we’re worrying about how many angels we can fit in the head of a pin. We got to start look at these things. There is a cost with

everything involved. My early time here in this-- in this city is so different than where I come

from, because I live in a real world where people actually have to use their own money to pay

for things. So this idea that you can keep doing this or doing that and I love this fact that we are

going to pay for it, we are not paying for anything. Not we in Washington, the people-- the

American taxpayer pays for everything and that’s bothers me, there’s such a disconnect

between this town--

Lost Sunday

Unshakeable cold has grippe on me, yet I know if I can just drive myself to get up and going... but I need cough syrup, decongestant and rest.  Yesterday I thought it was allergies because I wasn't sick, but today, ick.

Lots of issues await the new Congress, our own work.  Tomorrow resumes the work year, and I go forward with the EYES-EARS of Angels.  Yammer & babble, disruption of daily life order and talking over each other preventing any progress towards middle ground. 

I get above it with forgiveness.  Taking higher ground to witness and accept, now the discipline evolves to eliminate negative emotions from my processing of information.  1-2-11 Accepting what is, realizing it, understanding.  For me the way people "work" is different from professional people with a shared company mission.  I get it.  Politics isn't about what's best for the Country; it's about what's in it for the political.  So move onjtu a working professional, forget about EVER getting results working with "the political people."

You cannot run the government like a business.  The Government is a "lid" to be kept on the crazies that prevent things from getting out of control.   But putting "controlling people" in government just triggers revolt: the thing we don't want.  All we ask of our elected officials is to preserve a mechanism by which we can persue redress when it is our conviction that we've been wronged. 

A business "makes money."  A business, if it is to thrive, invites interaction, promotes itself and desires to expand the numbers of those they serve.  A business, if it is legitimate, seeks to get production out of employees and employ only as many as are needed to serve that customer base.  Does that sound anything at all like what we have in Government?

Likewise Medicine & Health Care doesn't qualify as business.  Advances in medicine haave so extended our life expectancy that our "Government" cannot keep up with all our healthy, wise adults.  Aside from Defense, the only growth in the Economy is in the Medical Sector.  The Bank-Busting risk to financial stability is the health care to which we have access.  Both my husband and my son's father-in-law survived health issues that would have been unlikely twenty years ago. 

American Business needs to take the same approach to evolving technology to a level of practice that mirrors what we find today in Hospitals.  First class care with a mind to maximizing income opportunities.  Some move at a pace that blurrs to the eye of the average person.  Some work together seamlessly, selflessly and with the utmost skill and great attitude.  And some just roam around labarynth - like hospital halls collecting huge paychecks and doing nothing of substance, but nobody asks. 

Hummin' performing providers at the top, hackin' slackers at the middle and "customers" who cluelessly demand services at the bottom.  Still smoking?  Driving recklessly? Not eating right, getting exercise?

Belly up, boys.  We had the climate change O/C writers predicting our planet was freezing in the 70's.  Dire predictions and warnings about the economic clash were forecast as early as Spring of '07, yet when the Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy, who could have known that the over-reaction would foster conditions that would prompt the taxpayers to fund bonus billions to the crooks who caused it? 

Do your best and trust that things will be good.  Police your immediate colleagues, stay alert to things that "seem out of place" and expect a great 2011.  Blender: the elements of all you can be are directly in front of you.  Take it in with positive expectancy and know that YOU are the process that makes it work, and you make it work WELL because you're great!

Gordon Gekko "Observes"

The Godfather movies seduced the gangsta wanna-be's with cinematic violence, dismissive treatment of Women and glorification of expediency.  For years, I was concerned that inner city black males glamorized the "White House" attitude of the moment.  The lesson of the "Trilogy" most wrenching in the cruelty with which Michael, his soul imprisoned by the choices made, decimated his once great family.


This morning, 1.1.11 - Winter Classic Day, I view a clip from "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps"  asserts to a "still doesn't get it" apostle who sells insurance, not credit default swaps, that it's like selling crack to kids. 

HOPE & CHANGE. 
Rock & Roll. 
Reckless Insubstantiality.

To the! crowd:  ! get !t, alreadyi

Admittedly, along the curve at a "traditional" pace, the cost consideration eludes the "fearless don't-know-no-betters"

but can they make awesome breakfast?  Bill Telepan, Chef On a Shoestring Champ, offers apple pancakes with ... get ready:  BACON MAPLE SYRUP WITH BUTTER ALREADY MELTED IN IT!

Daddy's Little Girls

Hillary Clinton calls out the countries whose Women suffer under oppressive male leadership, and there's one other dividing line that separates the class of the Univerese from the generic.

Daddies.

Does your Daddy stand by and let a spouse abuse his child?  Do your brothers enjoy a mother who covers their ass no matter what dispicable treatment they inflict on their sisters?  Does your Family educate ALL their children about financial stability, defending oneself and knowing how to recognize dishonor? 

Are your parents "partners" who hold each other to a standard of Divine Fidelity to their love for each other and all they create together?

Really?

That's A Wrap; Good Work, People!

For the new year, I'm taking up the challenge to post daily.  My life has taken a turn or two in 2010 that is consistent with pattern, yet came out of the blue to land in my front and center consciousness. 

In 2011, I pledge to apply daily energy to improving the conversational skills of Women United to Assert Electoral Majority.  My intent is to enter this realm with the full force of my Libra Being.  The only inanimate object in the Zodiac, the Libra reads and reports with accuracy and scientific simplicity.  A strong start, implemented by the downhill nature of 12:00 to 6:00, the Libra meets the Traveler at the half-way point.  There the Balance requires certainty before releasing the Traveler for the upward climb to 11:59.  Bon Vouyage!

We come together, at the moment of Launch: 2011.  Let us be faithful to our primary principal: to respect the contributions of Women, the difference in their style, values and qualities which bring balance to society.

7 Cups, like the Air Force Falcon, exits beyond Section #106.  10-7 stands by, understanding the message; ”Getting the Word Via The Bird.  To party in Downtown Shreveport, Mascot, Falcon passed up half-time festivities but was tracked via tags installed by handlers to his hiding place.  “Military-trained bird loose in the community!” freaked the tweeters.  And instantly, the comedians cranked ‘em out.  

It’s a new world, one where the Birds become relevant.  Our cat is under constant surveillance by the Cardinals, Finches and Jays in the back yard.  All the feeder frequenters work together, maintaining vigilant awareness of each other’s song.  Electronics a-twitter, “chatter” and nothing unlike that which the feathered friends do in nature, our kids are connected to each other, electing to “flock”

Faeries observe from alternative viewpoints.   A Bird’s Eye View moves with the uplifting forces of air.  Fleeting and pertinent.

December 29, 2010 - Angelic Choices…athletes understand training, trainees understand conditioning.  Back to O Poser who, because he was black (half) and for no other reason, shoved himself into Cinderella’s Slipper to steal – not the “Prince’s Heart” but the Palace, Staff, life and otherwise resources of The People focused at the center of work. 

Organized Labor, Oprah, … the Black Congressional Caucus… pretentious and foolish, these cranks have truncated the process, cheated the System, “Gamed” the rules and traded in tactics more befitting the mean streets than the Centers and Corridors of genuine power.  Not for the status, but for the Angelic Charms that best suit the times, we resolve to rise again, to serve the Best in all of us.  This Call, trumpeted by those who serve honorably, is heard in the substance of our connectedness to the Divinity within.  We know that those mysteries which preserve themselves from the unprepared aren’t all that mysterious…they are unearthed by determined, legitimate work.  Work our “President” hasn’t begun to do.  He remains cloistered in his Chicago “Bull – Y” fantasy still dalliance-dazzled by the toys.  We apply to “join” Angels, united by the track to the better, better & BETTER WAY.

December 30, 2010 – Credibility issues emerge in the New York City Blizzard dénouement.  In retaliation for the Mayor’s staff cuts and demotions, Sanitation Department Union foremen and drivers deliberately “slowed down” response in the streets.  Drivers admitted to keeping plows up driving through Manhattan.  Hizzonner acknowledged taking potential help off the streets altogether to avoid Christmas Day overtime. Unions adopted the classic “entitlement” attitude of Municipal Workers whose jobs were created during Good Times failing to recognize that times have deteriorated and along with the Times; their Job Conditions. 

PRESSURE, Folks!  We’re ALL feeling it!  Pull your heads out and get with it!  Tighten Up!  You, unlike many of the taxpayers to whom you’re flipping the Bird, still HAVE YOUR JOB.  Those who depend on your services to function at the most basic levels, and who are ruthlessly dunned to pay YOU, rightfully expect you to be on that JOB for all you’re worth!  The oft-touted Spirit of Cooperation that characterizes the greatness of New Yorkers, appears to have been “de-selected” by the entitlement crowd incapable of rolling with what amounts to the “Other Side” of that sword Obots brandish with MOB style crudeness. 

Careful, Progressives:  You can hurt yourselves with that Power.  Your Union Job has disserved you more than the citizenry, the City you are employed to serve!  When we refer to the thin resume of your President, we include those of you whose PAC pushed the Empty Suit on us.  He appears to be the inspiration for the “empty drivers’ seat, empty help desk, empty municipal response teams.   My understanding of what is professional – ie: that work for which one is PAID, hides behind the cowardice of excuses and threats.  Work Ethic, skill, taking care of things… ESPRIT DE CORPS: the common spirit existing in the members of a group and inspiring enthusiasm, devotion, and strong regard for the honor of the group…,  all the developed qualities to which truly functional, purposeful teams of service providers rise in times of challenging conditions, failed to show up because, for the time during which those qualities should have been taught, developed and evolved, you slackers were copping ‘attitude,’ looking the other way, whining and pointing fingers whilst “omission” prevailed.

The snow-removal snitches said they were told to keep their plows off most streets and to wait for orders before attacking the accumulating piles of snow.  : http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/sanit_filthy_snow_slow_mo_qH57MZwC53QKOJlekSSDJK#ixzz19dynFu4B

I’ve witnessed, first hand, the product of job security.  My own political committee is dominated by sops collecting pensions from teaching positions and other government employment, Union jobs and Social Security.  They live off the benefits of their spouses, the oppression of their neighbors, the backs of the mothers of their children.

Let the government take over health care?  We grieve for the young woman who gave birth in a vestibule then waited ten hours for an ambulance while her newborn died of exposure.  Such cold-hearted cruelty is the promise of our vindictive Commander In Chief, the legacy of the Kenyan who focused on his African rather than his American Heritage, who glorified his shiftless, crazy father yet hated his mother - you know; the woman who came from Kansas and lived her middle class values and provided for her son while his father indulged in disgraceful excess.  

As I said: "Pull your heads out: act like you've got a clue, or a heart or at least awareness of what is actually going down.

Troll Chairing Butler County Democratic Committee Faces New Year Challenge

Provincial Natives "Showed THEM!" Butler County Democrats resume avoidance of meetings conducted by the Troll Collective posing as the County Committee. It would appear that a determined show of force is the priority of the cronies assembled by the Chairman. Rules of Order long ago dispensed, the Kreatcher posted at the entrance to the polls during last summer's Reorganization Election decries tactics of those he helped maneuver into position to abuse the power after which he lusts.

Forgive my "snootiness" inasmuch as I earned my degree in Political Science, paid my dues as a loyal Democratic volunteer, contributor and voter and endured the malicious criticsm of my colleagues for conducting myself with respect. Called a Fascist, accused of marital infidelity and deceived, it delivered me to the realization that the uneducated natives of the county consider it their duty to put me in my place along with the other professionals, wimminz and anybody who doesn't share their "man crush" on the Banker's Grandson. Wait: to WHOM did Madelyn Lee Payne Dunham leave her fortune? Did Obama pay the huge estate tax on his inheritance he now advocates should be imposed to fund his ongoing ineptitude? Is he just yukking up his sleeve that the poor fools who defend his every gaffe don't know enough nor can they afford to hire savvy professionals to cover their financial interests the way his butt is covered?

Just reminding the Trolls of the Butler County Democratic Committee that they aren't the first to "discipline" me for being uppity. And educated, ostracized professional that I am, I see no redeeming worth in their midst. The National Guard whose facility their Chairman rents for his meetings should lower the flag to half staff during the meetings. Or, more aptly, hang it upside-down as a S.O.S. to the civilized of the County to launch an F.B.I. investigation into the rampant racketeering presently being conducted by the MOB impersonating citizens on that Committee.

I'm Catching Up With the "With Its"

What's Cooler than contemporary twist on timeless Truth?



The internet has so impacted everything, that despair over the economy is "beneath my paygrade." That's the only thing the "Government can do for me: Hire somebody to fret about that for me, would you?" All those Economic Advisors, Czars and lame ducks: "It's still the Economy, Stupid." Google It - then get out in the streets of Main Street, USA and try to figure out what's happening? Then, get online, do something like book a flight (yourself - no travel agent, no secretary) order gifts and send invitations, announcements, find friends and zero in on a satellite view of your destination prior to setting out with your GPS. Make a payment and KNOW it was received, check your bank balance, look at the weather map, price the new appliance you need to buy and "design" your new car, order it and arrange the financing... What's "happening" is infinitely beyond our ability to assess.

Long live the new Democratic Party: wise and wary, we go forward with a new understanding of how all of us came to find ourselves under this big tent together. In our DNA lurks the common gene (blue) with insistence on Open. We can't play @ Politics so obsessively without the inevitable discoveries. A teachable moment for one is a paradigm shift for another brought about by a quiet epiphany. We arrive at the year's end, wrapping it up. Let's toast, laugh and enjoy our lives. Approaching the "manger" from such new-fangled angles doesn't change the message of Christmas: Peace on Earth, Good Will towards Men."

Logging on and layering over the tracks permit new opportunities worth pursuit once we observe this special time that comes at the end of each frenetic year. Before we do that, we want to take a gander at the scheduled lunar eclipse tomorrow morning. The Winter Solstice - notorious stand-alone December Calendar item, has graciously yielded its shadow to provide penumbra to Full Moon. Aquarians know to collect data for study, dissection and otherwise absorbing speculation for the next 94 years until they are scheduled to meet again.

Altmire Gavels In The Tax Cut Extensions

My morning news opened with shots of the floor of the House, where the deal cut by the Progressives' Darling with his Republican Masters of Procedure, cleared the theatrics posed by the defeated incumbents.  The Reps who actually went to Washington to REPRESENT THEIR CONSTITUENTS who elected them, instead of supporting the party leadership, formed a procession of "yeas" 139 Democrats / 138 Republicans to sustain the current tax picture. 

I couldn't help but check the link to see how "my" representative voted, having seen him at the podium, gavel in hand, announcing the passage of the legislation.  Ah! Symbols.  That same gavel - in the hand of Nancy Pelosi - a mere four years ago, represented a new day for Women in their relationship to Power.  I watched the Swearing In of the Nation's first female Speaker from a desk in Jason Altmire's office.  My support for his election had been recognized with a bus trip to D.C. to watch the Inauguration of the members of the House & Senate.  In the time since that day, I have monitored the Altmire vote record, as have many of the 'newborn' progressives in my district.  The Dead Center Congressman, always in the exact middle of the political spectrum, has pleased me with most of his votes on the floor.  I hated his super delegate endorsement of Obama during the 2008 Nomination and withheld my vote for him that November.  Since then, however, his votes, his appearances on Fox News when the Party Leadership, including the President, were bashing the Number One Cable News Channel, and his intelligent, informative statements of position on issues have assured me of the substance to his service.  He represents hard working South Western Pennsylvanians.  He does not cater to any segment of the coalition that elected him, and he doesn't submit to Democratic Leadership in a partisan way. 

I have endured countless calls from the local activists for his defeat, whining that he's a DINO, and howls about his failure to 'support' Obama.  But he is governing, not wielding power.  His Blue Dog determination to steward the Peoples' Power shows maturity and reason, a respect for and an understanding of power.  His counterpart in the 3rd, Kathy Dahlkemper, who voted FOR the Health Care legislation, was defeated in November.  Those very 'activists' calling for opposition to Altmire in the Primary, were far more interested in taking down a sitting democrat in my district, than in re-electing their OWN sitting Democrat.  Their foolishness is a glaring demonstration of abuse of power, lack of insight and misunderstanding of the purpose of power itself.

As pompous academics, rash Progressives and Trolls endeavor to "take over" the Democratic Party, the gentle, wise, Traditional Democrats affirm competence, responsiveness and respect for stability in a universe where "Change" is inevitable.  Governing is the Force of Balance that permits Humanity to make progress by adapting to constant change which is the normal Universal way it is, and needn't be artificiallly forced.  Social Fabric is woven by seeing that "Change" is measured, tempered and installed progressively, step by step.  Wholesale change for the sake of change is the Enemy of a successful society, is a bank-breaking gamble unworthy of a system of checks and balances, and is an unreasoned threat to those taking planned, steady steps to build lives, savings, communities and relationships.  The Cheeto-heads living in their parents' basements, incapable of understanding Life's integral responsibilities don't recognize the Hall & Oats tune: "You can rely on the old man's money" only as long as you let the old man decide when and where to spend it.

As a Democratic State Committee Woman, I am schooled by my Constituents with each election cycle.  I applaud the Voters for having asserted their authority; reigning in their rebellious children with a lesson in Power and Spending. 

Elf Yourself

My sister in law sent me a dance skit where the elves' heads were replaced by pics of her, my brother and their sons.  Hilarious.

My internet was down for two weeks trying to install a wireless capable modem.  Finally, it's working,  It's good to be back in touch.

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."

Pitching Woo to YOU!

As the 2008 Primary wound through May and June, states like Kentucky and West Virginia went big for Hillary, but in the West, Oregon and Washington - of vastly lower population - were represented by media as balancers for the delegates they sent to Denver.  http://www.electoral-vote.com/ reveals the level of support Bill Clinton must give to Democrats seeking re-election, as though the Big Dawg carried the sense of the blue dogs all but lost on the CIC.  Citing his loyalty to supporters of his wife, the map tags a state like Oregon as "Strong" Democrat and Washington as "Barely" so.  His ego craving affirmation, the dem's Number THREE campaigner takes his show to the back yard of prominent North-westerners for a sermon to the wimminz (homage to uppitywoman08) about how much he's come to value them since the days of 99 problems...

Seattle and more personally, Forks, provided needed relief from the traumatic experience of May 31, 2008 for me.  My kids had moved on from the utterly magic Harry Potter books to the equally imaginative Twilight novels set in the rainiest part of the country.  For the cloud cover provided, the Cullens could come and go during daylight hours without disclosing their vampire secret.  Here, the Predator in Chief hopes to "reassure" the voting block he covets, that it is for THEIR interests that he is campaigning.  Face it: the blood of the Congressional Majority has been drained and their trusting hearts stomped.  No fresh meat in his D.C. or Chicago hunting grounds, the Chief heads back to the children, to the "Future."  Frank Lutz always positions a well-dressed, highly made-up black woman in the front row of his focus group presentations for Fox.  Any effort to get a feel for how the WOMEN view the Democrats in the upcoming election polls are routinely eclipsed by the DADT crowd-em-out buzzards doing what they do: hijacking the conversation for their obsession-driven agenda.  Little do the Democrats understand that it is these selfish, line-jumping, over-amplified voices who have soured the electorate on "the One."  The HOPE for which they voted has been repeatedly trumped by the Women of Color and the Same Sex Sillies, kicked over by the Abortion fanatics.  To the largest voting block:  White, Middle-Aged, under-employed women, none of these issues matter.  The very thing that made us 'vulnerable' to the fly swatting "It" One is the same thing that nullifies his appeal today.  We're menopausal.  We worked, fought, joined, paid dues, volunteered, ... we did it all!  And we watched while the 40 Somethings we helped elect, Women like Claire McCaskill, stiffed us with a HOPE Chain that "changed the game" on us just as we were about to cross the threshold into the national election for the Oval Office.  What we thought was the negotiating table became a poker table with wild cards introduced to throw the girls off THEIR game.  I learned something observing my sisters' reaction.  I already KNEW that this moment demanded - NOT a reaction, but a RESPONSE.  Women turned into yammering sixth graders, crying "No Fair!"and now talk themselves through the pain with resolve and lessons learned, taken to heart.

Life has taught me that what you can achieve, ultimately, comes down to what you believe.  I discovered Fox News when Neil Cavuto interviewed "Just Say No Deal" spokeswomen.  The same tactic used by the Clinton-bashing press corpse - drowning out the balancing views - has become the feminist tactic.  Like the "flying wedge" football formation, these females of the feminist persuasion have surrounded and now run interference for "their guy" about whom they have REFUSED to hear a word of criticism. For me, it's too late to give a flying f.  The damage is done.  The same mentality that separates a "nice home" from a party house is about to level the First Lady and her screw-the-boss-to-get-ahead pawn.   Chicago HOPE was a hospital depicted on network TV as an operation challenged with balancing the objectives of the Wealthy Medical Establishment with the Mission of the Institution.  Paid hundreds of thousands of dollars serving University of Chicago Hospital concerns, Mrs. Obama sat silent, nonetheless, as HER pastor, Reverend Wright, fed the liberation theology class a line of bogusnesssquess about how black women are underpaid.  Michelle's late father, Frasier Robinson, pumped City Water, Captained a Democratic precinct but died following kidney surgery . Grandma Marian, who worked back office at Spiegel's, was real Chicago: mail order sweat shopper, not hooty-tootie Princeton - the kids' school.  When the party bosses of Chicago asked Barak Obama, "Who sent you?" he probably didn't understand that he'd been sent by the inner city Wise Guyz with the proverbial chip... Princeton, Harvard, Columbia... you guys build a corral into which we herd, protect and embellish the creds of your servants.  Precinct Bosses: you guys provide the presentables.   Keep them covered and hold the dirt lest we need to control them.

I look around and recognize how little my heritage seemed to give me.  As I work, fail and pursue happiness, however, I come to understand the gift MY Grandmother gave me:  Business Woman, deli, bakery, "crocheterie" and blue rinse with a tear for choices left wanting when musts demanded.  Speaking Italian, expecting a daily visit from my Dad, who complied much to my mother's Irish displeasure, and weeping as Connie sang "Mama" from her Sylvania Blue Tube TV.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9n9XAjVmY60  it occurs to me that Grandma Robinson is there for the girls, praying heartfelt, for the souls challenged by the reality of now.  To protect your children, be strong.  Forgive those Moms who lapsed just long enough to force themselves to make an impossible choice.  In the end, what you leave your children is the image of yourself standing up to all of it, for them.  Keep your head down.  Keep at it.  Find it in the work.  When you're done, she'll be there to gather you in her arms, to protect you from all the threats of the world that is but a screen upon which your competition projects fear.  In your Mothers' Arms, the illusion of threat is dispelled and you do what you must do. 

"We Saw Nothing Wrong With The Bill; It Passed Without Objection"

Citizens Bank (now owned by a flush bunch of thieves in Rhode Island) proved to me that if you give banks access to your money, they WILL take it.  Not unlike the crude grab of electricity customers' resources in California that propped up ENRON beyond its usefulness, these same perps now trade and manage branches of heretofore community banks employing the same foolish young men who will coldly take your money and feel no obligation to earn it, account for it or understand it.  Fees.  Period.  "Egg Management Fee" said the creep to the little kid who asked, "What does that even mean?"   Pocket the egg, chuck the kid under the chin and rip a noise that sounds like QuickBooks deleting an asset.

"So far, banks are claiming that the many forged documents uncovered by courts and attorneys represent a simple 'technical problem' with foreclosure processes," he wrote. "This is not true. What is happening is fraud to cover up fraud." 

'Technical Problem' like the egg management fee, is a euphemism to amuse, cheer and support those engaged in the dishonorable greed that has consumed the banking industry.  The Bush Stimulus extended a bail-out with no strings attached.  The Obama Stimulus permitted the agents of Wall Street to cash in obscene bonuses for work of such egregious question that it should have driven them to jump from their towers. Congress has handed the crooks the keys to the vault.  The time has come for all angry unemployed Americans to do some research, to ride herd on EVERY VOTE out of the 111th.   Fired, liberated, given freedom from the dehumanizing JOB, the "jobless" have a choice in the manner by which they will become "self employed." Napoleon Hill - chapter 6 - assures us:  there are fortunes to be made in times of the most dire.

The Bank employees, enraptured by their own success at cheating seemingly smart people, escalate the boldness of their crimes.  Not unlike domestic violence, they revel in the cycle of abuse, incapable of controlling themselves, incapable of restraint.... getting off on how stupid are people who trust them with their money!  What School of Economics delivered these monsters?  Bottom feeders and day traders have amassed so much "activity" that the people who are supposed to wisely process the documentation, those capable of actually doing the work, are on the unemployment lines.  Anybody still employed in the banking industry surely had to have demonstrated, conclusively, during the hiring process, via psychological profile now routinely required by HR, that that they would take any payoff and approve fraud. Their Trust-Violating asses covered by Anonymous Imprimatur, they drive their BMWs to their upscale summer homes, praising the programming that is bombing the system.  Yeah; local courts would be required to accept ELECTRONIC NOTARIZATION from across state lines. Its sponsors said it was intended to promote interstate commerce.   How many of you have worked at a failing company where the I.T. goons actually commend themselves for all they get away with as the result of their elders' ignorance of the electronic underworld?   They continue to push the envelope with the rationalization that if "they're stupid enough to let me get away with THAT, I owe it to them to cheat them blind.  Trust but verify.

These are GUYS!   The same liars, predators, greed-driven Terminator Avatars focused on soul-less self-preservation,  or more accurately, self-aggrandizement.   They compensate for their little dicks by flaunting ill-gotten status to seduce women who will, likewise, marry them in this devious scam.  Materialist female "characters" who killed J.R. 2.0.  The entire Financial Sector of the staff probably doses on Viagara to get through the day, needing an erection to even field a phone call from an unsuspecting client.

From that insider who talked about Obama "losing it" and becoming bored with the job of the Presidency, yet loves the campaign....

But would another four years of an Obama presidency be the best thing for  America ?
A: (Long pause) Now that is a much more interesting question right there, and a question I think more and more Democrat Party insiders are asking themselves these days, myself included. I am going to come right out and say it – No. Obama is not up to the job of being president. He simply doesn’t seem to care about the work involved. You want to know what? Obama is lazy. He really is. And it is getting worse and worse. Would another four years of Obama be the best thing for  America ? No it would not. What this country needs is a president who is focused on the job more than on themselves. Obama is not that individual. I actually hope he doesn’t run again. Looking back, as much fun as the campaign in 2008 was, Hillary Clinton should have been the nominee. Hillary was ready to be president. Obama was not ready. He had never lost a campaign. Everything was handed to him. He doesn’t really understand the idea of work – real, hard, get your heart and soul into it work. And frankly, that is very disappointing to a whole lot of us.

To that insider:  Well, Duhhhhh! (bya)  We told you that for months.  Patriots of the Tea Party have the sanity; you troglodytes need your heads flushed... too much fun has its consequences.  You idiots sold your country down the river and tortured all of us with your Obotomized incompetence.  Here's hoping you ALL get yours.  He brags he sucks less than Bush, but by comparison is every bit as hate-able.  While a Jay-zee song is on.

Jimmy Carter Outs (almost) His OWN Witchcraft Roots

The Presidential Election of 1976 - the year I graduated from college and went to work in New Jersey, was a time, as "Jimmy" correctly recalls, without the rancor and acrimony now prevalent in the political culture.  He doesn't note, however, that in those days, venerable newspapers like the Washington Post had just asserted the Fourth Estate in their Constitutionally prescribed duty to serve the Electorate with the truth.  Facing Nixon, two reporters and Ben Bradlee provided the US Senate with grounds and public support to impeach.  More riveting TV could not be had.  Summer days glued to the tube led us through the delicate balance between what The People can do with the Ethical Government of, by and for themselves vs. what the people with money can do with more of same.   We also observed the beautiful Maureen Dean, seated behind her man, John, on camera throughout the testimony revealing the "Cancer" on the Presidency.  Stylish and smart, dressed by a professional, Mo inspired Young Women to step out in faith that a balance also existed between silk and steel.

Any who ask why the wives of powerful men foolishly occupy the platform upon which the disgraced resignee acknowledges and apologizes for misdeeds need only view the images of the wife of John Dean, whose testimony spanned the better part of a week on live daytime television.  Soap Opera paled in comparison to the sight of this utter star, of chic blond chignon, masterfully accessorized and utterly confidant, seated directly over the shoulder of the witness.  Each evening network news broadcast beamed the beauty to those whose employment intruded on their open mouthed gaping as we felt the scorpion sting after sting of Dean's revelations capped with the bomb dropped by Alexander Butterfield, of the White House Tapes.  I suspect that the resignation of George Stephanopoulos from the Clinton White House was inspired by John Dean.

Ignorance of the infamous 18 minute gap in the Nixon Tapes meets the manipulation of Bubba's Personal Secretary, Betty Currie, who chose to be loyal to her boss, to endure awkward moments as a conduit for the young, rich and dangerous Monica Lewinsky.  

"Mo, A Woman's View of Watergate" served up the education that awaits any female endeavoring to enter, professionally, the career realm considered man's unchallenged right.  Like Alice in Wonderland, the gal is simultaneously courted and molested, admired for her sweetness as she's driven to cold, soul-less survival behavior.  Any woman who 'makes it' to the top of this ladder preserves the "Precious" troll ring in the Inferi-infested black moat pool that surrounds her throne of stone.

Jimmy and Rosalyn both wrote about their naivete on the road to the White House.  On the heels of the secured-up-the-wazoo "Imperial Presidency," the Carters, on Inauguration Day, clasped hands and emerged like butterflies from the cocoon that was the Presidential Limousine's dark interior to the sunlight of a January day, defying Secret Service warnings and actually walking the final block to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue whereupon they proceeded to be "just folks."  The Obama's 2009 reenactment took NONE of the courage, faith and determination to mirror ordinary Americans that the Carters showed.  My own years in Atlanta, to observe for myself, the "Legacy of the Presidency" that followed Carter and Young home, taught me far more about Witchcraft than I'll ever learn about Politics and Men.  Dinner at the "Waxing Moon" served by practitioners of The Craft, crystals, cards and workbooks sold at The Sphinx Metaphysical Book Store in Ansley Mall and chants from Cajuns in Mid Town advised me of "New Bananas" and rich people all doing drugs who put others under microscopic scrutiny to throw the attention away from themselves.  Deborah Norville's cocaine snorting, TV salary-bloated boyfriend was publicly dumped by her own career preserving survival instincts.  

Please know this:  just as the Catholics of Haiti incorporate VooDoo into their religious adaptation, the Wicca'd Southerners embraced Evangelical Christianity with distinct hold-overs of a Stone Mountain Spiritual Repository.  Christine O'Donnel is in good company among winners who admit they could only have been elected because We The People were tired of guessing whom we could trust.  With these "throw the bums out" elections we say: "We Trust Ourselves." Mama done tol' me, "A Girl's gotta do what she's gotta do." and getting through the gamut of men with one hand in your wallet and the other up your skirt is a simple skate once you learn that men LOVE getting their ass kicked by a confidant woman.  "Bitch!"  just like the exclamation, "Witch!" is a cheer of respect, admiration and admission of defeat.  Long to hear it, dance to it and make it 'your song.'  Keep that Ziegfeld Show of PINK ELLE phants parading through the steps to the top.

Governing Goldilocks

The "Game Change" Guys made the only intelligent suggestion to which I have privy on this morning's MoJo:  As the Obama White House considers replacements for Raum Emmanuel, the interim Chief of Staff is his former Senate CoS, Peter Rouse.  Described by UK's Guardian as; "...a cat-loving bachelor known for his aversion to the limelight together with his consummate skills as a problem solver..." Rouse is a trusted "insider" who likely won't ever nudge the O out of his comfort zone.  The suggestion from John Heilemann, as Joe Sco pandered for ideas on who the end game should uncover was  our own Eddie G.  Fast Eddie and retiring Governor of the Keystone Commonwealth, Pennsylvania, was a Bingo.  From the moment Hillary Clinton stepped foot on the stage at Soldiers & Sailors Hall on the University of Pittsburgh campus, the guy who made the DNC what it should have been took his fledgling political athlete into mentor-ship and fashioned the candidate who made the six weeks leading to the Pennsylvania Primary,  "Iowa On Steroids."  While all the failing daily newspapers (except Dick Scaiffe at the Trib) took O's money and backed the guy, Hillary's Friends in Pennsylvania came out full force.  Under Rendell's guidance, she was shaken and redirected to understand the value of connecting with each and every voter.  Here she reminisced about family vacations to her dad's hometown, Scranton and raised a beer in a tavern with the guys who noted her "gonads."  Even now, the Congressional Districts who didn't like Obama in the Primary also didn't like him in the General and went McCain except for the inner cities of Philly, the Burgh and Center County where Penn State Students delivered the Blue.  What Rendell has learned in his lame duck session, is that the people of Pennsylvania trust their women to run things.  From coal miners to steel workers, the people bring home the paychecks to the 'Boss' who keeps all but the beer money and knows intuitively how to best spend, save and invest it.  His reassurance glowed through HRC and his understanding of fund-raising made the value of Hillary's support solid in the face of a finger-snapping hot shot who outspent her almost $4.00 to $1.00.  His bowling skills were exposed and his contempt for gun ownership by sportsmen was dissed while he argued that his hoods would "bring a gun to a knife fight."  Not cool in  Deer Hunter towns...As for me, the discovery of "Goldilocks" a planet that could support life as we sorta know it tells me my next job:  being Governor there by the time I am ready to "retire" will be the mission.  All Aboard!
