Mitt: The Real European
Now apparently it’s a “slam” to say Paul Ryan likes Ayn Rand***
Self-awareness, Republican-style
Minimum-wage misconceptions
Mitt-Flop* of Golden Rule and the bottom-line**.
* could have sworn I heard it on Norman Goldman
** I think we should play up the Joint JD/MBA card, vs. the community/constitutional prof.
[I mean what business practices would benefit government? Profits or Bankruptcy? It's not six of one half dozen of the other. However, a card from the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act, may be telling. But this is a far cry from the Krugman/Bernstein crack at the Mitt-Flop.]

Running on What? Rhetorical Slipperiness.
One statement that may summarize or simplify the theme behind my writing is an old saying and an old joke:
Follow the "Golden Rule".
"Do unto others as you would have others do unto you."
and
"Those with the gold, rule."
Both may be true, it is the extent that we apply them that matter and in modern terms it could be said that those with the oil rule. It is also to the extent that we know they are a joke, that we know anything. Or rather it is the extent that there is any truth that we we know it is a joke.
The theme is further complicated by just the trickiness of the words, rule and follow. Connections have been a sub-theme, but anybody can make them. Following may require a leader but a leader should remember that others follow what you do more than what you say. This would seem to be important whether we know what we mean or not.
It is tempting to want people to "Do as I say, not as I do." just as it is satisfying to "Have your cake and eat it too." But do people have faith in the words or math that power makes fuzzy? Do people really understand how to follow this?
This is what I have been saying in a round about way. It may be coincident that I run into the work of Philip Gold or it may be that I have been following public radio, but he has a book called "Take Back the Right." Not just that he has the right name(again) but his words echo mine and he seems to use the word right, among many, in a way that has meaning.

We may not have the same destination but we need the tools to build the road and we cannot ignore as much in the planning.
