Senate $ in a pile


The boyz in the Senate no longer benefit from the presence of Hillary Clinton.  Today, with a mere eight days remaining in 2009, they shoot the coop; AWOL Jim Bunning, (R) Kentucky, goes home for the Holidays to be with his family.  Major League.  When this card, symbolizing Family Connections, is inverted, EYE SEE the sheepish grin of a chicken shit loser who sells out his own mother for a worldly gain.  Walter - 1st spouse - always gave me that face when he broke a promise to me and expected me to just take it in stride.  Trust.  Integrity.  Selfish prick.  Kentucky is all about this vibe...sell it.  Get yours before anybody else, then forget you owe them.
                                                                                                                                 

That's a track we needn't go 'round again.  It's Christmas Eve.  Medicare Advantages.  Physician Owned health care insurance.   Citibank repays bail-out, bonuses its Boyz... see the Cheshire grin, Alice?      He don't mean nothin' disrespectful, ...  He knows EWE.                                                                                                                                                 

..........................................................................................................................................won't kick his ass.  He'll be sellin' tobacco and whiskey for the New Year's Eve party but can't collect in time for making Christmas for the kids.   So, you know, Mountain Mama:     cover for him and let the Boyz be boyz.  Poverty ain't an accident.    Here's a noogie for Ewel  
hey, BABE.

Vogue V. SNL

Still cracking up over the SNL skits - Press Conference in China / 2012.  We're feeling like Pennsylvanians driving our cars up our hills after first rocking them out of the snow drifts.  (It's coming, Oh, Yeah.)  What began as a movement for Womens' Rights has finally levelled onto the plane of balanced forward momentum.  Women's exercises for the strength and flexibility to carry themselves with the poise, dignity and confidance those rights empower.  You can't "hide your stuff."  When you haven't got it, the handicappers see it.

A nice balance is - as I learned on my skates - a force in itself.  After weeks of getting out there and try, try, trying to stay up on them, my reward was crossing the threshhold of the "Limelight" on Piedmont and feeling my spine flex to hold me upright when a momentary mis-step almost levelled me. 

Ah! Epiphany.  The
Work!
                                                                        Work!
Work!                                                                      
...of Madonna Mixes for extended aerobic effort and learning the pacing and endurance required to develop my skills.  I had arrived at the first plateau of the infinite upward hill climb.  Onward, Ever!

Days later, crossing Piedmont Park enroute to the Skate Escape, a slight waver of my center of balance wreaked a sideways sway that, again, snapped me into upright and then ....  whoosh!  I was moving forward effortlessly at the next speed.  It was a "gear" dropped by angels into my backbone and I went from Ice Cream Truck Driver (If you can't find 'em; grind 'em.) to Sally Ride smoothly maneuvering a space craft.

Getting enough of us up to speed eventually - and inevitably - forces us forward via sheer know how.  Read the history of American Patents and see for yourself how many of our greatest inventions were processed through the unique working system of female inventors.  They don't call "Necessity" MOTHER without respect.  Those of us attending the birth of women into gender equity can take a long view 3 Wands

Each of us is an unique, multi-level processing system through whom the divinity within expresses our best.  Take a moment for yourself and 4 Swords redistribute the competing forces.  Celebrate Thanksgiving with those you love.   As you give thanks for all your blessings, remember your Sisters, especially the Burka-Wearing Middle Eastern ones, who are penetrating the mystique in their own special systematic way.  Page (Daughter) of Pentacles

Hagall spread  as chosen via ISIS Significant, and the Three Fates Simplified by the Magician ...  Look at that center card long enough 10 Cups, Reversed and you'll see what Castaneda teaches us to see in the UN:  the adult's heads are EYES and the bowed cup array is a sheepish grin.  They COULD have been gentlemen and shown us their class....instead they chose to slide and expected us not to notice.  What's special about women?

Daughters / Doubters

Next week when President Obama is in China he’s going to hold a “town-hall” meeting with Chinese citizens. Their first question for Obama is expected to be, “Why would anyone have two daughters?”

...   and feigning disinterest.  Boring as per Carol and CNN... as always, mean girls doing what they do.  Hootie, Tootie, (with the lib-elite accent) "13 of 400 some pages devoted to substance."  The women thing and those of us who related to Hillary recognize it:  that second "X" in the DNA having a girls' night.  Do you preserve your dignity, or do you "blend?"  WASP-reared Obama is so much more their speed.

But it's votes, friends.  The Quakers call their wives "Daughter." and embrace all aspects of the Male/Female relationship.  Cultural.  OK, they don't get Alaskans.  They probably don't hunt (except Karen Hughes & Company ridiculing John Kerry resplendent in Mossy Oak) and they certainly don't "CAMP" as do more Americans than all spectator sports combined.  

Let them.  Oprah and company focus on the "Dallas" stuff: fashion, money, jealousy-driven crime... Charlie's Angels stars blew a gasket when Farrah showed up in designer-fitting jeans while they were wearing 'wardrobe' so.... "Who's prettier:  Vanity or Aphrodite?"  Prince fans will remember the competition for "The Artist's" libido...and the radio rock jocks came clean:  "What IS this?  The guy's five feet tall and he's getting laid right and left?  And the women are lining up?

And Gayle.  Oprah, thanks for treating her like another girl,  Barbara: bring on the View.

Still Crackin' Up Over This One


Thursday, October 22, 2009

Oops! My Bad...Chicken WASTE. (Thank you Terry McAuliff, for your dignified style)

The Baseball fan in me over-took the political reflector, briefly.  But this morning's MoJo revisited "Gov. Terry" and his campaign innovation centered on turning the polution that ravages the Chesapeak into the fuel to power the light in Virginia homes. .  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D14s42rL4UM&

On the same segment, Mika lent a woman's voice of support to Savannah Guthrie for stepping up during her one-on-one interview by calling out the President on his basketball game / networking opportunity with a Boys' Only Night at the White House.  In the words of ObaMAO's Foreign Policy advisor's daughter, The Campaign staff was invited to play B-Ball with the MSNBC morning crew - and inasmuch as THAT game has yet to hit the court, Brzynski concludes:  "They're Scared."

It's that Beat the Girl thing...and we are getting another whiff of Chicago Street Thug style of how the President's MEN "play the game." 
  1. WE Won, WE'LL Call the tune.
  2. Women, as we demonstrated in the Primaries and post VP announcement, just can't play.
  3. Don't be lookin' for Gentlemen around here.  We're Professional GUYS.
  4. Pay Attention, XX's: we'll let you suggest the rules, but look out for the FOWLERS...we have every intention of playing our strengths - cutting you out prior to the National Anthem - whatever it takes.  Expect the males of this country to join ranks.  On this matter; we are fearless, because we'll bet the White House that women WON'T.
The Boys of Fannie Mae, Goldman Sachs, the inner city... SOME women in this country legitimately FIND WAYS to survive financially.  They trace their paper, monitor accounts and find creeps like Charlie Rangle and OMG! John Edwards, hiding out in the macho.

Arrogance & Cozy.  The late Anna Nichole Smith said it best:  "Freakin' Genius."  about a jerk who proceeded to step on a Grammy Winner's acceptance.  Class.  The "Women's Nation" series on the Morning Joe show takes a drawlin' view of the Shriver Report.  ... when the discussion doesn't degenerate into a man's joke, I'll view the clips. 

Expect the hit.  Prepare to field it.  Don't look for sisters to defend you.  My experience has taught me that the Gay Men will be there for you first.  Only in the prospect of being thus shown up, will the Guys get it. 


Boys Club
... really means the instrument by which the beat-down is issued. WHO'S the Barracuda? Tip Off...Let Women on the White House Basketball court and Rogue gets her shot. I'll sell tickets, advertising and T Shirts. C'mon. http://sarahbarracuda.com/

Wiki Pootie says she 'earned her nickname for her competitive streak' and in the next sentence, notes she went to college to major in communications and become a sportscaster.  Again, experience competing straight up with men teaches things you won't learn in the typing pool.  Word to yer sista;  let a winner show you how to beat these guys ... or is that what yer scaird of?
November 16: Oprah entertains the Author of "Going Rogue" and the EYES of Womankind will be scrutinizing how the South Carolina Swing follows up chin music with "Sorry, Charlie." Oprah and Sarah can, maybe, run together before the show (does Oprah still run?) and size each other up...(I think I just 'got" what that expression really means!)

Sisters: He EARNED It!


Woke up Friday morning and the TV was replaying the previous evening's O'Reilly Factor on Fox. Bill-O had queued up the story of what BO the pup did on AF-1. I was just "waking up" when Brian Kilmead of Fox & Friends broke in a few minutes early to announce that President Obama had been awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace.




The universal response, - it became evident almost immediately, - was:

"For WHAT?"



I had to get up and crank the coffee, grab the remote and check in with Morning Joe to get the View from the Cheerleaders. Scarboro and Mark Halpern were comparing it to Marissa Tomei winning the Oscar for My Cousin Vinnie. Joe made the point that Tomei had done far more to earn the Oscar, guaranteed.



I looked up the design of the prize and can attest, for the doubters, that President Obama did, indeed, win the Peace Prize as it was intended by Alfred Nobel.



DLS commented over at the Moderate Voice, "...As to the American people, as I've written, this Prize was mis-directed; given the actual timing of the decision, the American Voter should be the recipient, for voting a black American into the Presidency (the relevent question to the feminists now being, Would the award be given if Hillary Clinton has been elected, instead, or is Obama personality cult and idolatry too much in effect here, too?). As I also have written, it's still not too late for Time Lite to select the US Voter as "Person of the Year" to properly honor him and her."



(Especially those of us who saw our votes dismissed in June, 2008.) The really important contribution made by Barack Hussein Obama, is to let men all over the world sleep nights for keeping the uppity women out of the Oval one more time.



The reverse shows three naked men embracing one another - a symbol of the international fraternization that Nobel wished to contribute to through the Peace Prize.



Maybe the "brothers" took the brotherhood thing too literally, or maybe the sisters have just found another speedbump on the road to the Whitehouse. I'm nothing if not a good sport, and the "Winner" in me responded the way I'd like to be received if such a prize were "handed to me." OK, is this their way of telling us: "Be Careful What You Wish For?" Life teaches us all that it is real Challenge, Adversity and Proving Ourselves that brings out the greatness in each of us. He'll need our support if he's going to do us proud after this. Funny, all the calls for School Kids and bold progressives to 'help President Obama' didn't strike me as my patriotic duty as much as this. He REALLY needs all the help he can get. Our job as citizen-journalists is to challenge him respectfully, to cheer him on through all adversity and when he proves himself, be the first to give credit where credit is due. Patriots: let us affirm that the Job, here, will truly make The MAN. Humbling has that effect. Carrying that "seal" around will process all the lightweight ore outta him and make a gentleman of him. (I bet he keeps a chatroom to Bill Clinton always on that blackberry.)





You go, guys!

Can O's pitch score 2-fer: Olympic Nod & Passage of ERA?

Illinois remains among states that have failed to ratify ERA.
Click here: Political Status


Both Oprah and Obama are pushing Chicago for the Olympics. Connect Title IX, which has made it possible for US Women to win their share of gold, and patriotism.

States like Georgia and Utah, where recent Olympic gold has been mined, proudly stand with Illinois in the rejection of equal rights for their female citizens.

The President announced today that he will tag along with the Mrs, Winfrey and tear-jerkers to Sweden for the IOC presentation.
Click here: Michelle Obama's Olympic bid: Kleenex: The Swamp

There is a sort of Connection / Disconnection here. If the possible passage of the Equal Rights Amendment were tied to the Olympic Sponsorships, might the Land of Lincoln lead the Country on the final march to Freedom NOW?

When They Ain't Bullshit, They're Chicken Shit

All Obama All The Time! ... The Prex was everywhere (almost) he could bend an ear yesterday ...
... except on Fox. Some campaign advisor (Axlehat?) chose to pass on the news agency that outdraws ALL THE OTHER NETWORKS COMBINED!!! Maybe because her message was always respectful, consistent and out front, Hillary Clinton had the confidance and courage to sit down and exchange ideas with Dick Scaiffe and Company (the vast right wing conspiracy foundation) AND Bill O'Reilley, the Bold Fresh Piece Of Humanity whose respect for WOMANKIND was engendered in him via a Catholic School education; the Nuns and the Community. In my years of selling, I learned one strategy for getting my message out: reach. Unlike weighing the cost-effectiveness of advertising on the news station with the biggest ratings, the White House messaging unit was faced with the decision of which of the FREE ACCESS outlets would best take their tide-turning message to the largest audience. The news program drawing that audience which represents the most skeptical, most readily turned-around potential new supporters, as opposed to preaching to the choire as it were... So ... do you go to the network you routinely bash by name in your own appearances on the networks that openly love you? Or ... do you take a shot on reaching an entirely NEW MARKET with that venue?

Might we get back to Professional Conduct of the Nation's Business? Do those of us who are participants in the process actually have someplace else to go? I can only reference the dumb-as-dirt response from the pre-election Obama Camp. Floods and fires serve as their reality alerts to all the alternatives available to the disenfranchised.

After setting the partisan world afire with speechified foolishness, the fourth estate (lower case deliberate) must now flood the scene of their crimes of omission of their journalistic responsibilities with a watered down version of the White House pitch coming from the hand-picked heir to the Kennedy Mystique. In political circles, that's known as running it up the flagpole to see who salutes.

Flagging Air Puppets Up






Sunday Morning News paydirt this weekend, for all the Hillary-sabataging round tables conducted last year. Their attention-grabbing scheme required a larger-than-life COOL guy they could put out there and animate. He could make the skies open with his speaking style, inspiring and hiring fans.



Thus September winds to a close, and they're expecting to shut these things down...Ocktoberfest on deck, y'know. So, on with the show! Spammin' the health care overhaul nobody needs 'n@.

Hacking Insurance

I hear about the single payer health care concept, the price we pays for the good ol' days is washed up hippies chasing those hours they spent out of it. My dfa 'buddy', Lou, is the product of Delphi methodist frogs in a small pond.

Commenting from what are the most incredibly insulting positions, Lou reveals a lot of what he don't know. Trying to tell black guys they don't is only a problem in the insurance business. Fire 'em up and get ready for a ride, guys. Those crazy Viet Nam era draft dodgers are back. They be crazy... (and creepy)

I cannot locate the parable about the money changer who greased the cup used in counting so that coins would stick and be held back. The grease isn't needed. Power cannot truly pass through us without generating a buzz that doesn't miss.

Slowing it down, diverting or posessing it- is, frankly, an oxymoron. Conduit consciousness conducts us. Power, itself, corrupts. When will they learn? As they pass by me on their way outta here.

MoJo Puts it Clearly

This morning, Joe Scarborough gave me the most solid list yet to express what kind of reform the voters want and would support:

Not Health Care Reform,

but

Consumer Protection

in a bill that addresses these elements favored by most of us who are willing to pay for our health insurance, rightfully expecting value for our contributions and reasonable stability of our liabilities.

1. My insurance cannot drop me for reaching some arbitrarily derived threshhold.
2. My children can stay on the family policy until the age of 25.
3. If I get fired, or otherwise lose the employment to which my health care insurance is tied, I won't be charged exorbitant costs for COBRA that expires in 18 months.
4. My insurance, once established, will follow me for three years.

Each of these elements address the true issues

consumers actually have with their coverage not the
problems with health care itself.


Rather than villifying Insurance Companies, I wish to make a stand-up statement about them that is fostered by the respect acquired through my work with them. Wall Street and the Government programs notwithstanding, Insurance Companies' funds pool has been the financial source of much of this country's economy. If not for insurance policies on the consumer, banks wouldn't loan you the cash to purchase an automobile or a home. Sure, the bank is fronting the risk of your keeping your word and making all the installment payments on your car. But in addition to the threat of repossion, the Bank also goes to good ol' American Security Insurance Corporation and purchases a two dollar per month insurance policy to back itself up and adds that to the cost of your loan. You pay the premium as the debtor, but the Bank owns the policy and collects the equivalent of the balance on YOUR loan if you default. Your company life insurance, the liability on your property, even the dental plan for preventive care you wish you had, are all regulated by the States in which they do business. The Federal Government is not in the position to make universal regulations affecting health insurance.

President Obama is slummin' with the folks who continue to support him as he lets them in on his "thought processing" about his (and by extension, their) political enemies. He targets those hard working Americans employed in the vast insurance administration business, who are on the job year in and year out finding better ways to build their communities into the kind of places where they can earn an honest living doing business among the neighbors and projects they fund.

I'm sick of being talked down to by a too cool critic who is clueless about the amount of work that goes into the management of an Insurance Company. Like the hospitals they reimburse, these Americans are 24/7/356 at the wheel. Fair business practices and quality products are their bread and butter. AIG and the Wall Street cronies who looted the pool should be hearing his denigrating remarks. The folks seated behind him at the Town Hall meetings are foil for sound-bytes. He dredges up his old rival for the fad-of-the-moment adulation he briefly ceded to Sarah Palin before his junkyard dogs "took care of her." By their approving applause and demeaning laughter, his "peeps" show they agree that the August vapors make disposable citizens all

"Wee wee." Jeez! I love how the Left glorifies their chosen one for his tough Chicago Style, hard knuckle politics and sees no loss of dignity when their boy gets down with them and drives home the unsavory JOB they've been doing.
Instead, why is he not focusing unflattering dirision - in detail - on those individuals who first violated their insurance business licenses by mismanaging the funds, then took obscene bonuses from the rescue moneys coughed up in the name of the very taxpayers they've robbed?

Ed Rendell HOUNDS the Mobsters as "Crazies"

I never thought much more of Beck and O'Reilly than I did of Matthews and Olbermann. But, I borrowed the Audio book of Bill-o's "Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity" from the library and listened to it when I was driving. I found it to be a reflection of the people educated in Catholic Schools. Little did I expect to understand so much or laugh so loudly. Direct TV News Mix on channel 102 or 352 show eight news channels at once, CNN, Headline News, Bloomberg, CNBC, MSNBC, Fox Business, Fox News, and the Weather Channel. you can monitor the screens and tune in the sound on whichever you want. I compare the coverage and find real differences. For example, Fox treats the town hall incidents as news. NBC lumps all the protestors into the 'birther, crazies, republican sponsored.' Rendell was even on there today saying the "Majority of Americans are going to be turned off by these crazies, and are going to stand up and be heard." News Flash, Eddie, tea baggers birthers and protestors ARE the majority of Americans. It left me wondering why I've put myself in uncomfortable positions defending him. The very people he's describing are the ones who voted for him. What these people want is information in a language they can process with relevance and results they can see as the direct result of the actions our leadership takes. They want it paced responsibly, without the stampeding and doomsday predictions of the terrible things that will happen if we don't pass them RIGHT NOW!!! when the terrible things happen anyway! They simply do not believe they are getting straight answers. They don't appreciate being denigrated, dismissed and defamed when they question. They saw Obama pledge with McCain to accept the public financing for his campaign. He swore he'd filibuster FISA, then voted FOR it. He campaigned on the lily pure assurance that lobbyists would not run his white house, then both his first and second appointments were lobbyists. All records of his work at Occidental, Columbia and Harvard are sealed: we can't even read his dissertations or Harvard Law Review editions. So everything adds up to a person who we are to believe on his word, who has repeatedly failed to keep his word once he's in the position required by trust. It is little mystery that these people are "nuts" - they are the classic victims of deception!

My closest comparison is a bad boyfriend who makes a date with you, and after you've turned down other appealing offers, stands you up. Or the spouse whose affair is common knowledge to your social circle, yet NOBODY tells you the truth, they change the subject, clam up or your trusted friends pretend not to know about it. People are uneasy because the things that are happening do not correspond to the promises that were made, nor do they reflect traditional American values.

We sat through years of these people disrupting meetings, led by Kreiss who challenged and denigrated our efforts. They were roused to attend the meetings by the very people who were funding the illegal activities that victimized our good faith efforts. We were called liars and fascists, shouted down, hissed and subjected to interruption whenever we spoke. The blog they posted savaged our reputations, yet they carried on like babies when exposed. The footnote I have attached to my signature is from Roberts Rules of Order. Five of us voted against the suspension of the rules to elect Larry chairman, yet our votes were dismissed and the minutes say he was unanimously elected. There was no discussion because we had no quorum and felt no need to engage, yet badda-bing! They didn't have a quorum, but they had a majority, so they forced themselves in. And Larry assures them that the State Committee will back him up! Instead of finding common ground, we find constantly shifting rock underfoot where nothing can grow or be built. The Tea Party people are Americans who have heard enough, seen for themselves and made up their minds to doubt the media and the Administration. Good salespeople recognize these gestures as an invitation to up-sell. They're missing it. Instead, they inflame the voters with personal insults to their intelligence thus bringing ever more protestors to the street. That filibuster proof majority is a curse on both our houses. Rendell acknowledges that he has never seen this level and intensity of rage.

"The fundamental right of deliberative assemblies require all questions to be thoroughly discussed before taking action! The assembly rules - they have the final say on everything! Silence means consent!"*
*Roberts Rules of Order


So, if you don't want to be taken advantage of just because you reserve comment as a gesture of restraint, let it fly! Either way, YOU'RE pickin' up the tab.

The Empire Says: "We Double-Dare You!"

Chicago tactics fall short. Accomplished diplomats burnish the façade, but fail to justify Obama's rapid rise through the ranks predicated on the willingness to violate rights. Where's the elected Win / Win approach?

"If they hit, we hit back twice as hard."
"If they bring a knife to a street fight, we bring a gun."
Such thuggish language! You need your mouth washed out with soap.
You cannot possibly hear and see yourselves, or you'd tighten up and observe WORK ZONE RULES!!! We evolve as reviewers of Presidential Leadership.

The White House is the seat of Constitutional Law Enforcement. The pyramid of power peaks at the Oval Office, yet its occupant resorts to street-level consciousness and the bully pulpit. We the People expect our President to undertake the exercises that legitimize and build consensus.

The DNC – taken over by the AxelPunks and moved to Chicago, served as the template for these MöB tactics. Overtly aggressive operatives were delivered by Obama campaign buses to disrupt, commandeer and, yes, rig (known in low level mob circles as Game) the 2008 Caucuses.

The Blog Rolls of the Just Say No Deal Coalition testified to the tactics of suppression leveled at Pro-Hillary posters on such sites as Daily Kos. Scandalized, shocked and utterly unprepared to meet with such un-American violence of our first amendment rights, the mantra, “Country before Party!” synchronized rebellion. Holding the Democratic Party Accountable was the mission. And now we hear our principles; abandoned during the Primaries, preached against the very level of public misconduct we were shown. We demanded; “Where is Obama? Where is the Leadership? Why has he not spoken out against this unacceptable conduct from his supporters?” Underground entities – practiced in secrecy and espionage – HOPE to intimidate a free people into compliance. Ayers, Wright, Acorn were explained away. "No Drama" Obama, who then remained 'above the fray', now appears - daily- donning Nixonian bluster, to force what he is unable to sell.

Bots, paid to troll pro-Clinton sites, did as coached. Piranha Schooled, they swarmed and consumed political opponents. You are what you eat. Social experiment in the Presidency is disorder. LBJ, elevated by an act of unspeakable violence, was the quintessential demonstration of just what NOT to do.

We are bemused. The Obots exploded into the consciousness of patrons of change, billed as new “Sopranos.” Knowledgeable Opera fans heard for themselves and had their doubts. Opera, Italian for work, was never documented by these pretenders. Where was the score for reviewers to follow? Where were the notes indicative of original composition? They were all sealed from review. Scholars were forbidden access to any of the early works by which we evaluate and substantiate the influence and genius of the untested, unproven freshman Senator, endorsed for his ‘leadership,’…. Study Group colleagues are neither identified nor interviewed. We have, on the other hand, the transcripts of Hillary Clinton’s college day speeches, documentation of her activism and corroboration by her contemporaries.

It’s Violence against our Spirits, not violins in those unique cases; a mob of pretenders to Executive Office using tactics of intimidation to assert their half-baked concepts. Concerned Citizens, alarmed by inexplicable haste, concerned by recent admissions of having "Mis-read" the severity of problems, reject the ruse “Urgency of Now.” They are driven to crazed outbursts by the continued gestures of dismissive contempt from their own representatives! The message they bring to their Town Hall meeting is; "Read the Bill!" "Let us look at it together. We're not here to be told what you want us to believe, to be spun and judged incapable of self-determination."

On display is the Audacity of Incompetence, sloppy research, failure to communicate. We who actually work at our jobs are neither impressed nor convinced by these occupants of the Agencies of the People. We expected to find them undertaking actual Work, as the BUSINESS OF THE PEOPLE prescribes. Throughout a six month review period, we’ve indulged trial-and-error-chaos, having seen none of the touted superior judgment and leadership we were assured would shine through.

At Town Hall meetings, we, the owners of this country, express disappointment and disapproval, urging a change in the approach, not the System!

The School Board steps in; the Stock holders, who have become mere “bag-holders,” demand supervision of these first time Administrators pending a successfully completed probationary performance. Did we not pass over a qualified, experienced commodity at the urging of these young cult leadership pitch people?

“Oh Captain, My Captain!” Whitman’s ode to fallen President Lincoln, suggests, perhaps a game changer. While the Media and DNC have adopted the Chicago Style of citation, it may actually be appropriate to cite via the AMA Style. http://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Cite&page=O_Captain!_My_Captain!&id=776898.

Do surgical candidates want the medical student who is tops in his class, or the surgeon who has performed in the operating theatre under the scrutiny of accomplished performing providers?

The town hall mobsters are saying: “We're making you an offer you cannot refuse!”
Tables turn.

We’ve objectively observed the tactics of this crowd. We are hearing the bases of our own complaints, dismissed in the primaries, now being righteously recycled as their defense. The "Mobs" reject deaf D.C. insiders, social climbers posing as journalists and fugitives from justice launching political careers. Put the workhorse in its rightful place: before the bandwagon.

What the Health Care Reformer presents is perceived as clear and present danger to the Citizenry. Incapable of reassuring us, the Aristocratic Citizen of the World ratchets up name-calling, threats and the Bully Pulpit. The mis-named Mobsters reject their Representatives’ failure to represent them. They represent themselves, responding in kind, to the tactics used against them. These were the same less-educated, downscale voters Obama's campaign tried to buy with newspaper endorsements in Appalachia. He had the opportunity to hear these people out and understand their needs during the campaigns, but hid, instead, behind the Race card.

Town hall meetings are intended to be an exchange. The Citizenry has observed a collapse of our financial system, the corruption of our political system and the hijacking of our Fourth Estate by special interests. We arrive ‘ginned up’ for the bullies we have learned by experience to confront. We demand that our President present Health Care ideas clearly, patiently and respectfully. People who aren't normally disposed to attend these meetings can no longer trust that their interests are being represented. Taking personal responsibility for their future, the urgency of now has shifted to "Now hear this!"

Let’s all get up and dance to a song
That was a hit before your mother was born,
Though she was born a long, long time ago,
Your mother should know,
Know-ow
Your mother should know.
Know-ow
Sing it again! McCartney-Lennon

These very Congress People, Super Delegates trusted to provide a grown-up’s sensibility to the nominating process, got their guy.

OK, you won; get over it! The Election is history. You’re on the clock, now. Get serious!

Saturday, August 1, 2009

Add this to the pile already on the camel's back, and it shouldn't be long before the "straw" that breaks it drops. I'm in a little wrestling match with the County Committee again. They scheduled a meeting to elect a new chairman for last night, but failed to get a quorum. Undaunted, they moved to go ahead and elect the unopposed nominee anyway, and dismissed the bylaws by a voice vote. When they heard a few "no's," they counted a show of hands for no's only, and a mere 5 of us were expecting to observe our own rules of order. I had to reflect on the irony of these "by the book" by-laws thumpers making such an overt power grab. Even more ironic, is that the alledged power of this organization is zero, due to their capricious practice of only observing the rules that serve their agenda of the moment.
In submitting letters of resignation, those Committee People who have left, cited the organization's failure to conduct business in the atmosphere of respectful consideration of one another and regard for their reputations. The remaining participants are either ignorant of or indifferent toward procedures and protocol by which all in attendance are singing from the same hymnal. aa

The Bucs Suck


Zack Duke had pitched a shut-out, but the AAA team fielded by the Pirates couldn't bring a win. They traded Wilson, Snell and Sanchez in one day.

Blues Offer Clues

In Blue's Clues' Dawg house, animated puppy, Blue, helps find three clues to something they are trying to figure out. Viewers are invited to participate, with Blue and her friends stopping to listen to what the audience has to say.

My own Congressman, Pennsylvania's 4th, Jason Altmire, leads the list (alphabetically) and I did support him because of his knowledge of the health care lobby, among other things. He voted against the stimulus initially, but in the end, Pelosi was "convincing" enough to kick him in. He held out 'til Pelosi's PAC came across with twelve grand to give his Super Delegate vote to Obama. What's that you say, Viewer?
A clue?
A Clue!

MSNBC - Engorged MoJo

Dear Pat was thwarted by Carl Bernstein each time he tried to make a civil comment about Sarah Palin. Pat showed discretion, courtesy and congeniality, Bernstein stepped all over him with crude put-downs of Palin, steeped in deliberate insults to the intelligence of both the Female Phenom and anybody who gives her the courtesy of a listen. Bernstein interrupted Buchannan's every attempt to balance the presented view points. One concludes:

Bernstein is Femme-Phobic!

The MoJo crew throws back Starbuck's Espresso Latte blends.

Perhaps the OTHER sponsor
kicks in a "free supply" as well. Extenz Ads now run six times per hour ON ALL NEWS CHANNELS!
...can anyone find last week's Kismet moment where Jonathan Capehart made the ill-timed remark:
"The Penis Talked."
as the director cut to him following a clip of Obama speaking?
"EXTENZ" finances - daily - this un-moderated exchange. So readily talking over each other, they sound less like professionals on the job and much more like loaded guys at Happy Hour, jacked up on booze, clamoring for attention and having too much fun to care.

Regarding Over-Exposure

Reconciliation follows making asses of ourselves.

The media’s job of the moment is to work through the serious departure from their purpose to show their bloopers.

Seeing themselves, all glammed up with the trappings of the majors, they recognize what a waste of resources it is to sustain them.

High Maintenance: best reserved for the Paris Hiltons and Saddam Husseins of the world. Their presence is poison. Their free rides at the country’s expense constitute parodies as News People Gone Wild.

No longer satisfied with the catbird seat at conventions and media events, their voracious greed for face time (to the mutual benefit of the reporter AND his network) feeds on the same status gratis used by Don Rumsfeld and Dick Cheyney: Cash Cow Taxpayer - huh?

A limmerick from an old professor, (Don) Joe Francis, Lit Bomb:
There was a young lad from Saint Johns,
... Had a penchant for buggering swans,
The obliging Head Porter said:
“Please! Take my daughter...,
…the swans are reserved for the dons.”


To fully appreciate, you had to hear it with the English accent. Standing 'round the tap at the Golden Eagle, we rattled our own rib cages with the hilarity of folks who take themselves seriously.

Evil exists in the world for comparitive purposes only. If we couldn't see how bad we can be, we'd hardly be motivated to improve. To those with too much to lose, VALUES must be re-evaluated.

Are the designer shoes, photo-ops over NYC and showing off success really getting the attention of those you hope to woo? Are they, perhaps, showing too much skin, showing such little respect for themselves that piranha like Rahm Emanuel and David Axelrod feast on them?

When the "compromising" footage of them is viewed through the prism of their self-determined destruction, they'll have true authority to evaluate the job they and their OOA (Object of Attention)have done.

Poetry of Progressive

Don't know how I'll get that accomplished,
But I have no doubt
that by the time I've gone down this chosen road and rounded the bend
I'll have figured it out.
