I "heart" BS? Bernie Sanders?*
Not exactly a filibuster.
But moving the goal posts?
[I am truly split between being encouraged by the President, the Democratic Caucus and actually getting the right thing done. I hope it is more than just a lesson plan for sacrifice. Basically Bernie Sanders is sorting out what is wrong and what can be improved in the so-called compromise, which I hope is not the lamb.]

The Real B. S. of the F. C.

Balanced Solutions(Bernie Sanders) of the Fiscal Crypt(or FulCrum):

Anyone who believes that we have a spending problem not a revenue problem is unqualified to make decisions that will help the economy.  That is my summary, not that he* might not agree. 
Spending as a percent of GDP is the lowest in 60 years and the tax rates are the lowest in living memory.**

[Meanwhile the real c. c.  Boehner blames the President for congresses own fiscal cliff march. Bush Tax cuts had expiration date.  The Republican congress refused to extend middle class tax cuts, and led country to credit downgrade and budget sequester deal over raising debt limit.  The President said he would not play those games.  The House is not likely to pass a deal that will pass the Senate and Presidential veto.]

Walking the Plank[!]

A caller to a talk show expressed well my sentiment on the death penalty.
Paraphrased: I will support the death penalty when the first corporation is executed in Texas. Well, being a Jolly Roger, (i.e. No Will Rogers) I might not go that far mattie.(ar R something privatization.)

[!]= sarcasm/irony punctuation (See lede 'r ship)

The real leadership is not in a party or a position but in ideas. My pun is purely about the platform over the process, not to mention parties. But in particular a few planks that Bernie Sanders has suggested in the form of: Six Demands to Make of Wall Street.
If Republicans want to walk the talk, of Where are the Jobs?* Then vote on every last one of these, as well as the American Jobs Act, and see who will be left on the ship of fools.

"Are you who I think you are?"

That is the question I posed to Senator Ted Kennedy around twenty years ago. He had just walked into my lobby and asked to be called a cab. I called him a cab. I then had the chance to express the honor it was to meet him and/or thank him for his and/or his families service, as well as get his autograph.*

Nowadays the same question is apropos. Rachel Maddow discusses the Revisionist History that Republicans are creating and Keith Olbermann covered it just preceding the Senator's passing.

*links and italics clarification (here and there) provided 8-28-09

(8-28-09: See comment and latest McCain There is no compromise on an option. By definition. No option, is surrender not compromise. That is not what Senator Kennedy should be remembered for. Sorry, the link was worth repeating. That is not what should define a legacy. )

Urge them to act, but don't blame them if they bend a bit. Already the original plan is no longer on the table. At least according to it's so-called author even though he has trouble reading it: The so-called clean one, that is. We still must be careful of any unattached strings.

The Dream Blog

Just another one of those things, a dream or this time blog that was so vivid, I made no attempt to hold on to it. And sure enough within two steps from bed it was not so clear. Well, I will make no attempt to recapture it, instead recalling an earlier idea from the previous day. I told a buddy, there needs to be a new party. De Calf Party. But after a few minutes of his rant on current events, something stronger was called for. In related matters, we do need something that presents a stronger plan[***] to the American people and someone who bargains like Boehner.[**]
Meanwhile I think I will try this De Calf.

[The Next Big Thing: The Debt Ceiling, And Speaker Boehner says it will not be raised without something big attached. Polls show people against raising it, as well as against* raising taxes. The only thing left will be more cuts.]

And Bailout...

McCain it seems, is heading for the debate,
but it seems that he does not even know what plan is on the table.

And I am not sure too many do. And that was the day he suspended his campaign.

As usual the Democrats will get something done, while the Republicans hold onto their agenda of politics and business over people. [*]

Meanwhile progress at the UN Security Council on Iran is at risk of being more business as usual. I only heard a brief news item about a Russia calling something legally binding but without santions.

[* Bold only with this updated: Senator Bernie Sanders on The Thom Hartmann Show** has just now framed this. And last week mentioned the October Surprise as the bailouts arrived. Some people have said that the economy could not wait till October, but really politics could not wait, since congress was scheduled to go home to campaign.]

** must link this show "hit and run" aspect: Bush hits, Dems fix, Republicans Run. (see Domke)
Not to mention that this is a distraction that keeps politicians from being able to run.

Better Business Bureau

Now this is how to spin political capital.
I mean spend, did I say Bane Capital?
Acronym? BBB (Bill, Biden, Booker*)
Mitt-a-Sketch: Granted, some nuance[**] is allowed, but if Romney thinks the economy has not turned around, then not only does his Bain experience not qualify him for governing, but it is not qualified as economics. 

* see moolah and math
[**]  Bain Capital is fair game and ironic
Speaking of BS and innoculations or shots, Bernie Sanders is taking on Romney on what we can't talk about. Obama will go head on.

CNN Reports: Vermont Socialist wins.

Bernard (Bernie) Sanders for Senate: a self-described Socialist?
Jeff Greenfield: Actually an Independent that will caucus with the Democrats.

Para-model

I will begin at the end, or rather the present.
Less than two paragraphs in:
What's Left of the Left. Why do I begin at that moment? Allow me to begin again at this moment.
What is Left of the Left?
(the lede of the link)(4)***
Is this a geometric or quantitative heading?
What is not right about the left?
Or how much of the left is still there?

Now if I may do a Hansel and Gretel impersonation...my point is that I have worked out my path off-blog. i.e. left some pebbles to attempt to trace my path.
The reality is that I got the article from** MSNBC*, (current lede) Actually I got the link not the article. So I am still working it out, but will now save my Para-model.doc with this.

* actual clip here later
**anachronistic conundrum(or appropriate con un drum)[Cain beating the media.(1)]
*** post save doc: golf term "four"/Mulligan?

[Now I must note that I will square [bracket(#)] and or continue after reading more.]
[I should now note that I have left open a blog I was editing, which has now been inserted in my Para-model.doc ala my Hansel and Gretal MO. Apparently the pebbles were bread crumbs, but in reading What is Left of the Left, noticing that I have read only one of seven pages, I must MoveOn for the time being.]
[Now... actually just moments after the last bracket I will make a point.(see **(1) On what the heck is Cain doing? He is working the model of the media, in a fourth branch sort of way. He is getting attention, and I will sort out that fourth dimension. And I must note I am impressed with Joe the Plumber and Rupert the Survivor as candidates of a third kind. Not to call them, "Out There". But I think there is something to the polarity and needing more perspectives than our parties and branches provide. And this is reflected in a mechanics and dynamics, that is not just two dimensional. But Steven Jobs did point out to Rupert Murdoch that it can be either constructive or destructive. It is not about left or right, up or down, or forward or back again. It is about making progress or not. Everything else is how, and by and for whom? Does any of this embedded here or in my saved doc, explain: that the more radical a comment the more coverage it gets? It might depend on if one is Leaning Forward or Fair and Balanced. Now, I know that there is some perspectivism here, but Fair and Balanced does not mean two dimensional. Now it just depends on if I am talking about the Media or Faux News.]
[My apologies for my Quantum Leap over the Big Cheese, I feel my bread crumbs may be safe in draft see image.]


[Andrea Mitchell: Why has the president waited? Because he wanted congress to do their job! That was my preemptive answer to the preemptive question. Meaning, I was expecting the question and anticipated the answer, which just may be in the unfinished heading: What is Left of the Left.(No question mark or exclaimation mark?)]

Not to mention the rest of his show, which is yet to run(he is going on about Romney in Ohio? and a clear plan, and Democrats losing the message war, then Bernie Sanders and the NYtimes poll?), but is actually digitally delayed for local radio.]

War and Peace is a false dichotomy**.

That was my heading(sub-heading for this addition) before technical difficulties wiped it out. 
I had woken up to that thought after reading only part way through a Philosophy Now article last night. [The "Ugliest of Things"?]

** or are all dichotomies false? 

*** the punch line
"You can't _ _ _ _ _ your way out of problems with the same parties that got you into them."
to paraphrase the Obama problem and the nature of our government.  Here "parties" is used in general terms, but with due respect for the three branches of government and the GOP, let alone the spirit of progress or hope to Trump nature.  I am talking about the first article on War, and the Bush campaign that was a bull in a pottery barn.(~)  (Speaking of policemen, nation builders and break it)
