CAD (2 out of 3 be bad)

May Day ain't what it used to be.
Cads are what they will be.
CAD used to stand for Computer Aided Design.
Fore! To correct the swing of sorts.

I recently referred to Ted Nugent as having CAD, Cause Affect Deficiency or Disorder, along with Mitt Romney.   And since it is all about the defining issues of our time, or the 2012 election, the ideal flip-flop from Cause Affect Disorder is Culturally Aided  Design.  If fact I feel that the Jonathan Haidt book, The Righteous Mind may be enlightening to read, but I believe it has some imbalances.

Why does he pick the categories he does to distinguish liberals from conservatives?  Why is having them balanced better than in some hierarchy?  Why should we look to the sacred, and wouldn't the rest follow of sorts?  SEGUE
If moral psychology is the foundation for politics and religion, what is the foundation of economics?  Or physics and philosophy?

Now I know I am avoiding comment on the May Day issues**, but in the greater scheme of things, there may be a related point to do so.  While I have yet to get the book, I have perused more than once most of the links in the previous paragraph(pre-segue).  Not that they may be inserted only slightly more than haphazardly.  In my lede, I have hinted that to be a CAD is not always bad, but sometimes it is just*** a tool*.

*BTW:  it was more than just for convenience that I used affect over effect.

***5-3-12 "CAD" and "just" links are not endorsements of confrontation without consequences.  Violence and destruction must not be condoned.  Anarchists should be seen as part of the 1%. (Hijacking the message, much as the Tea-party had their's hijacked by the Koch bothers.)  I might add that globalization, capitalism and even cap and trade, are not the problems or solutions^.  It is the entitlements of the 1% in their hyperbola of fantasy.  The only difference between anarchists and libertarians is the fantasy.  Not that anarchists are more real, at least they realize that their is something about the foundations over the fountainhead.

CAD (Culturally Aided Design)

That was not my original insult.  I mean intent.
Nor the original CAD or (under)mine,
speaking of Cause Affect Deficiency: (updated Cause Affect Disorder)

I feel like Ann Romney, with an early Birthday present.(ala CNN and the Hilary Rosen War) Yesterday someone tossed an expletive at my Obama bumper sticker. Speaking of CAD, Ted Nugent is a Raw Money reincarnation of the Swift Boaters. Only he needs a vet for his Cat Scratch Fever. More on CAD, it is not computer-aided design, it is cause and affect deficiency. 


BTW: it is still our turn,(thanks Ann) if Bush could get a second one in the middle of a war, no matter who started it.


CAD-2.0: more or less
[Not to demonize or capitalize on catholic and deficiencies*, but if government is a business and corporations are people, what is bankruptcy, let alone where is the death penalty?]

*not to decapitalize

[Clue to the G'Ribble.]
[update decapitalize: Huffington Post throws journalism in the pit.]

Update: Fight On!

Fight On!
Pun on Thom!

Meanwhile, Updates are not logged in:
Corporate Profiling?
Is it the Lorenz Lens?




















Physics, Psychology, Philosophy, and with Politics at the center, or top, depending on how***you spin it.

Preemptive Veep? MoJo. (Ouch) No I don't think that the host of Morning Joe may be a Republican Veep Candidate, but it might be a good suggestion. What I mean by MoJo is that they may pick a Joe Biden like* candidate. Of course that might be too broad a generalization, I mean someone with legislative experience, of which Paul Ryan, Rick Santorum, or Newt Gingrich might fit, but I mean an other-than-Romney type. But who am I to endorse** a Republican?

** with a lemon twist

Proxymoron?

Romney/Ryan* - "Social Darwinism"


Make no mistake, I am not associating President Obama with Proxymoron for using "Social Darwinism" wrong. I am not using Social Darwinism as it is commonly** used, since it evolves.
Even The Righteous Mind will evolve us.***

* Huffington Post (NFR)
** "common sense is not so common"
Related proxy-aphorism? Counter-Rush or Tea Party or FOX Think.
i.e. For every force there is an equal and opposite reaction. NOT! The word is action.
Maybe false dichotomy applies.
*** If corporations have become persons, what is society?

[Speaking of GPS: "What we have here" is a Galley Project SimpBowlized, by the deficit commission and the Kitchen/Boat math, marvelous mangling and tale gating. (Also see 2 comments.)]

[P.S. under a Google of "AP Luncheon" I found this interesting Hoist by his own Picard by John Hull. A careful reading and reference to sources would indicate a hoist of his own profession not to mention his metaphorical name. My father had a boat made by Swiftsure. Three flushes you're out! The three strikes are A. the fact-check error. B. the Lockner v. New York error C. the Wickard v. Filburn error. In context: Obama is a "professor", Lockner v. New York was probably what Obama was referring to or in era in general, which John Hull flushes, and Wickard v. Filburn recognized the power of the federal government to regulate economic activity. I mean, the gizzard of that guy.]
