"Caesar's work"

"The View"

After a quick Google or Yahoo(!) I found an anachronism. Of course everything is, if you are trying to catch up with history or follow John McCain. But it was his leap from "founding fathers" to "In God we trust".

Ok, now follow me: He believes in God, he believes in the Constitution, "God" is not in the constitution, "trust" is. Nor is "Creator", so who made these things up. "Being" and "Power" is; usually in relation to requirements and connections to the people.

Ouch! I did not know I was going there. But the point is the flip-flop from his "no litmus test" to his interpretation or "quote" interpretations as exposed on the grill, I mean "The View". For those not down with computers, the point is that embedded in the above links is the fact that the motto of the United States is "In God we trust" and came about in 1956. And for those who are reminded of the Pledge of Allegiance, it was changed in 1954. And back to the history of our motto: e pluribus unum: "Out of Many, One." I guess this is McCain's interpretation of change or quote interpretation, or nuance.

[And speaking of stretch, as in Caesar's Salad, I refer to the tossing of "isms" as coat of arms. The dressing and heat of the kitchen metaphors, makes her no Truman or Teddy, but she has been referred to as "Reagan in a dress" and it should be checked if her lipstick is teflon.]

The Presidents Club









The origins of this club in Hoover and Truman, harken back to mark a distinct difference in the act of presidential transitions, from the Bill Clinton/George W. Bush, George W. Bush/ Barack Obama turnovers.  Is it fair to mark the common factor, when congressional partisanship also plays a part? Or is it fair to ask if Hoover could change, what change will Romney bring?  Do we want to change course** or is it still our turn?  [Ctrl F "still"]

Whining to Win.

First it was about the economy and from a McCain advisor, then it was about the media. Actually quite a bit transpired in between. But the image thing, composite or not, should be compared to The Dean Scream. Actually I am not attributing Deans loss to his scream, but it was a turning point and cover for the media turning. While the light that McCain is cast in, should be examined more carefully, not to mention Palin.

As misinforming as the position Pro-Life is, maybe a better bumper sticker would be Pro-Baby. Whining begins at conception.
Or maybe: Baby First!

[Speaking of winning expressions that is: See The View as contexted here, and watch the first video of him under fire for his ads. Talk about getting caught with your hand in the cookie jar and blaming the baby, or is it the bath water.

[9-17-08: The above was posted before a caller to The Thom Hartmann Show, [*] noted some research backup for my anecdotal unRoveing.]
[In my opinion the easy dismissal of studies by one side of the ideological spectrum, defines the spectrum. One side defines the parameters to study, the other attacks the study to define their way. It could be described as "might makes right" while meaning gets left behind. A point that may have been neutrally arrived at by one critic. "So next time, give 'em something to really cry about."]
[*]: yesterday's caller but again today: the above amendments were posted prior to today's show begining on the topic of smear or coverage - In discussion with the author a reference to Caesar's work(not his words but mine and McCain's), places it as the foundation of our country, while apparently the press has become a fifth column.
