[Metrics of Coherence: Martin Bashir]
[Metrics of Comprehensiveness:(Dylan Ratigan) Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down, Thumbs off the scale, Thumbs all around. Not to mock a squad, or cheer lede, but sometimes there is a mess in the message. By this I am pinning a tale on the media, not to mention occu-pied pipers. No Don Qui intended.]
[BTW: these last two bracketeds* are pre-and post vision things**. i.e. the coherence was post Martin Bashir, the comprehensiveness(original comprehension) was pre-emptive of viewing Dylan Ratigan, a transition comment of sorts***, but the perspective was coming from sorted strengths and dynamics, as in areas of politics, economics and foreign policy, not to wholistically thumb up or down individuals or fields.]

* re: Martin and Dylan

*** for proper chronology I closed the bracket and will insert here the intended Bashir and Ratigan, leaving the rest as is.
[10-22-11: inserting links in asterisk(3) and also insert the two Bashir and one Ratigan within the bracketeds, plus interesting segue- difficult transition]

Bill Maher on Rachel Maddow
Earlier context.
And regarding the need for a new (De Calf) party for the fiercely independent, note that this is not an endorsement of a new party, only more people at the table. Norman Goldman in contrast to Harry Reid represents the problem with too much Calf in Nation or the nature of being heard-ed.

[I am wondering why Martin Bashir and Cenk Uygur are missing on the MSNBCTV page, but Dylan Ratigan had the latter on, and the former took Beck to the woodshed on being a Christian fraud.

The Big Cheese

And a block* at that.

With a little corn, Mother Jones columnist currently has the grater. But Mark Block is a bit smoked...out. (with David on Martin Bashir)

Where's the cheese? Well, Rove between the Perry Yeah and the Koch/Cain, not that I con done it. But we could have a spread at the Jimmy/Warren buffet or tale gate, with devils food cake. Not that I am branding but there are three flavors of GepPetTo.

[And one more thumbs up for O'Donnell. It is called bread and circuses and Trump is the latter. Keep on advising those GOP.]

Why OWS is bigger than Left vs. Right.

Stuck in the game frame?
Bright Bart and Big Government?

Why OWS is bigger...

Tactically, what we'll see here will be a) people firmly on the traditional Democratic side claiming to speak for OWS, and b) people on the right-Republican side attempting to portray OWS as a puppet of well-known liberals and other Democratic interests.

Whine and G's?

On the Democratic side, we've already seen a lot of this behavior, particularly in the last week or so. Glenn Greenwald wrote about this a lot last week, talking about how Obama has already made it clear that he is "on the same side as the Wall Street protesters" and that the Democratic Party, through the DCCC (its House fundraising arm), has jumped into the fray by circulating a petition seeking 100,000 party supporters to affirm that "I stand with the Occupy Wall Street protests". (I wonder how firmly the DCCC was standing with OWS sentiment back when it was pushing for the bailouts and the repeal of Glass-Steagall Act).

Really?

What nobody is comfortable with is a movement in which virtually the entire spectrum of middle class and poor Americans is on the same page, railing against incestuous political and financial corruption on Wall Street and in Washington. The reality is that Occupy Wall Street and the millions of middle Americans who make up the Tea Party are natural allies and should be on the same page about most of the key issues, and that's a story our media won't want to or know how to handle.

Not your grandfather's "traditional".

This is an issue for the traditional "left" because it's a classic instance of overweening corporate power - but it's an issue for the traditional "right" because these same institutions are also the biggest welfare bums of all time, de facto wards of the state who sucked trillions of dollars of public treasure from the pockets of patriotic taxpayers from coast to coast

Really?

Both traditional constituencies want these companies off the public teat and back swimming on their own in the cruel seas of the free market, where they will inevitably be drowned in their corruption and greed, if they don't reform immediately. This is a major implicit complaint of the OWS protests and it should absolutely strike a nerve with Tea Partiers, many of whom were talking about some of the same things when they burst onto the scene a few years ago.

I have read Matt Taibbi's piece three times now over the course of parsing this, and I will let you read your own conclusions.

[Then I signed the petition at DCCC (see bold) "I stand..." with the following amendments.(see 3 links)]

[Each of the above blockquotes are directly from Matt Taibbi's piece, with the bold segues my comments. But the final Really?, "Both traditional constituencies want these companies off the public teat and back swimming on their own in the cruel seas of the free market, where they will inevitably be drowned in their corruption and greed, if they don't reform immediately." sounds a bit naive if not libertarian. Companies and Wall Street will not reform themselves any more than they will let themselves fail or let the market do its magic. But it is a matter of who's on board or overboard as well as some sort of tents.]
[Speaking of ironies, or Bright Bart and Big Government, just whose side is who on?]
[Meanwhile I have four posts to further parse. Starting with the big bite. @ 7 minutes 15 seconds in: Over two thirds of New Yorkers support Occupy Wall Street.]

[Oh what a web. No E.B. White:
SCroll up! Tol Keen? Rubric, Elements, what "October", Mis-attribute? Justice and/or sand witchbracket.]
[Alternative Reich? Not to pun on the furor, but is there an alternative?]
[A Democratic* strategist touched on something(on Martin Bashir) that has been embedded in my thoughts, and even more embedded in my writings. The Republican candidate will not come from the activist wing. And indeed the current leader often trails "anybody else". Well, they are not really polling that candidate, but the leaders are still struggling for less than a third of the Republican's votes(current Gallup Romney 20%). My point is that there just might be a compromise or coalition candidate. On the other hand... who am I to say democracy will prevail over the Republic?]
* 10-19-11 I have yet to find the proper link but place some others under Democratic Strategist and Martin Bashir.

Martin Bashir and GUESTS

There is the Beef[!]
...Winner by De Fault?

That has been my parsing of the 2012 GOP dilemma/process.
FORe-D or Lean?
It is frequently mentioned that President Obama...
you name it... the economy stupid, the Jobs#/Tags
But I think that it is a Rovian shot as well as good mechanics and political calculus, that they attack what works, and fear what works.
Physics not ideology.

My original in tent, was that the Bashir segment, expressed the chances or whom might win the Republican race, and that anyone could win by default if not convention.

Now, I will refrain from reframe* or further embedding of pun,
but will note the spell check of this vous do witch might work.

Child's Play

Freak Show vs. Bogeyman:

The Lyin' King?

While my original intent was the feeling that this is getting old, or rather childish. Then to see the nature of the exchange on Morning Joe, it takes some perspectivising.* Martin Bashir covers another aspect of the picture show. Back to the future, I mean Morning Joe, who is in the drivers seat? Mika or Joe? The image of President Obama getting into a car at an auto show. Who is in the drivers seat? Politically the President is. But it is like one of those drivers-ed cars with a second wheel and brakes on the passenger side, and congress is in that seat. But with Batman, I mean Bashir on West, Republicans would have no message if they did not have imagined monsters: "equality of achievement", "economic dependency"and "enslaving".

So...bottom line, Political is a double-edged sword. There is the race and there is the economy. Congress plays a role in both, and negative is not just ugly, it can have actual facts. So Mika can say that Obama is behind the wheel. And Joe can say he is not. Now you may see that the president is not the only one in the car, with a hand on the wheel.

* not that I take the Mediaite perspective (Donny Deutsch made a reasonable point, see negative/ugly/facts.)

[Not to call it a hatefest, just a hecuvafest.]

[Not to rob Peter to pay Paul. See Freudian/Austrian. Lit-urgeical hint]

[Couched Analogy?]

[not to leap fest** but I am missing a piece on certainty***.]

[Action item: FEC apointments & expired terms]

** tba: no pun on SBA, but to be arranged

*** dba? a pun/myst on the "free market" need(see drives-ed car) for certainty

[BTW: if you need GPS, why not Ctrl F frackin' fudgin"? Pun with acronyms, not to mention initialism. Speaking of caricatures and labelism.]

The L-Words and Curve Balls.

Martin Bashir has Barnie Frank on, who mentions the two L-words apply. Bashir even borrowed and twisted my line. My first reaction was, then there is the L-curve, also two-fold. Ed Schultz rubs it in and Rachel Maddow points out the Republican field is being graded on a curve. There is another intersection with my early reaction. Newt Gingrich was working the Jack Abramoff angle on Freddie Mac. Now we know why he has been at it* for 53 years, or beaten in 53 years?
* I think that is the original interpretation: that it was his trip to France at age 15, maybe he found his Gaul. (not to be facitious, it is admirable that he may have found interest in history at age 15. Incidentally the same age I was politically activated by the likes of Plato and R. Buckminster Fuller. Only the latter actually being a contemporary presence, at the first Earth Day.)
(Speaking** of Curve Balls)

** Hagen Daz of the hour? Not even Queen for a day.

Catch-44

President Obama seems to have doubled down on the culture war.

2-15-12 Politics and the Table.

Politics is the pinnacle of the power play.

Physics, Psychology and Philosophy are the base.

Culture is the result and the field of play.

Economics, values and pragmatism the material.

The Irony Leviathan.*

* not the same vehicle

(Million Dollar Baby/Inconvenient Segue)***

[I have a hecuva lot in draft as well as embedded in previous posts that need sorting, and this may be a crack at that. And to un-Ribble it is in the social Darwinism and the yo gurt! If this is too fantastical, well just ask Raw Money, "Corporations are people too, my friend." See Leviathan, and intestinal Darwinism or rather the cultural state of progress.]

[Andrea Mitchell** and Ginzu Alice: Santorum and Romney slash the economy, with GM and the big dig but we need a big deal.]

** two segments Santorum spokesperson Alice, and reference to slashing the budgets in Michigan and Massachusett, under the light of federal projects.

***[Just caught this Thom Hartmann.]

[Common Ground the Enemy? Recent enlightenment on "The end justifies the means." At the moment I can't locate the link.*^^ But it might be Twain "The Prince"*^ and the Pauper. Martin Bashir segments enlighten, especially the Bane Or Change. Also on the Clint Eastwood Filmography, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, not to mention the Three Little Pigs. Not Bashir, that was elsewhere. Doom and Gloom Snobbery?]

*^ The Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, and the Constitution, not exactly ugly but three pigs in a blanket of rhetoric. Freedom is not a force, but the government is our creation.

*^^ Somewhere there may be embedded some links on the evolution of the 3 founding documents through the likes of Madison and George Washington.

Can you feel this working?

Or even follow this thinking?* Is George Lakoff practicing the same reinforcment and fine print? On the feeling front ? **

Does the market Lord over Republicans?
Does logic Lord over facts?
Is it really the slippery slope Lakoff sees?

The bold indicates the suggested read. Links are often footnotes or tangents(see [**] ), not primary sources that need a full read. I am commenting here on different results that reading this article may have on those from different parts of the political spectrum, and the impact of having read it on their perspective of their perspective.[*]
(You will have to read the Lakoff article, and then will you be prepared to answer the questions?) The focus on the metaphorical may have an underlying greater impact. The President is pounding on the pragmatics of values and that may be an over arching message.

[Unfinished read, refinished read.(perspectivism) Politics over war.  Obama has made progress in foreign policy, but Republicans want to take it back.  The wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Egypt, and Iran(an evolution) are the examples of diplomacy(d) over preemption.  It all sprung from the 2000 election debacle, resistance to Clinton policy and the failure on September 11th with the supposed post-9-11 world.  But it is spelled out in the perspective that we cannot expect to teach democracy or politics over there, without practicing it over here(^).  I will refrain from further tangents or links on this post, but I will note that the two reads just mentioned also reflect a bit of a balancing act that is not nearly as cut and dry as it might be written.  One of the key differences in the big picture that makes the previous administration a stand out failure in American History is the combination of the voodoo(b) economics(arithmatic/fuzzy math+fuzzy English) with the neo-con perspective of American Exceptionalism (which is not) exemplified by choosing a war without paying for it.  The success that is so difficult is because politics is local except for them^(f).  This is demonstrated by the current Radical Republican opposition(c) to the Arab Spring,^^^ which removed dictators and is allowing(a) for democracy that might not turn out to be to our liking.  Bush said war is hard work, but just because you want to fight, does not mean that progress and peace(with diplomacy and politics) are not harder work, and more profitable.  That is part of true exceptionalism.
