Fair and Balanced and Centrist?

Whether you are a trickle-down Tea Partier or a Bubble-Up Egghead, not to mention the victims of ad hominem, ad group'em, ad label'em, add lose'em rhetoric or its perpetrator, The New Yorker might be part of the problem. But maybe it's my problem* or maybe they have made progress ***.

Speaking of bull or the Rodeo Clown, we should ponder who is the bull and who is the cowboy in that self- prescription. Not to mention Irony.

* I'm actually a great admirer but thought it might be too out there **for others

** link is post hock (or add: pre-pawn)

***BOTTOM LINE: If you can get past Newt Gingrich and his "post-modern" interpetations of his "democratic socialist" buddies Camus and Orwell, it is a fair and balanced whack at a "comprehensive" problem, and I think the Hopi-ChangeY thing has a... quiver.

{embedded words: made progress(read link),bull(USATodayWeekend), Rodeo Clown(David Sirota), self (Bill Bennett), prescription(Dr. Dean), Irony(Robert Reich), too out there(Beck),comprehensive(Lamar Alexander), problem(cheap shot), quiver} (->)(see comment & ribble)

i.e. sometimes a scroll over of the embedded words(links) in this post will merit a full read or hint that will assist in context.(<-)

By way of footnote and bottom line, I urge persistence and patience(no pun or mis-spelling) be applied to reading the first link. The embedded words are a con descension to assist the navigation of my punditry, without having necessarily to read or even link at times to the embedded links, but maybe sort the puns from my meaning without as much unweaving. Sometimes only a scroll over might to, but the quiver is a simple ribble. Maybe there is a better word than ribble but it is a riddle which ribs or tangents.
