Obtusity?

Not Here.(Kay label added)
Nor Here.
But in context the former Here is the proper angler.

In a less embedded aside, Leonard Pitts Jr. hits the nail on the head of American Exceptionalism.

In another arena, a friend noted how trustworthy FOX and Bill O'Reilly are. Well, 28% and 9% are far from a margin of victory unless you are looking for an American Icon. NBC, MSNBC, CBS, and ABC combine for 29% while CNN's Cooper and Blitzer match O'Reilly's 9%, and the a4mentioned other network's hosts(Matthews, Brokaw, Couric and Sawyer tied) combine for 12%. So it is only in the winner[*] take all, not knowing what it takes world, where follow the leader matters. Now that is a real Laffer Curveball! Or is it?

[Then there is Pawlenty of problems. Bottom line: if money is a maker then tax it as much as labor. That is an inverse paradox or maybe praximoron.]
[The bottom line is obliquity with intent.]
[Sub** Text]

** asterisks apply to that link, but is not the missing link, but does fit the leadership narrative over people.
[*] boo yeah! Stewart boosts O'Reilly's ratings(**), which likely rigs poll. i.e. maybe FOX viewers are more fair and balanced when the left is presented.
(**) I don't have the Nielsen ratings but it might be reflected in the poll.
[Footnote: scroll over some links for some understanding, but unfortunately links that may need clicking on do not last forever. Hence I hope to be less obtuse but no less oblique in the future. There should be no joy in mud-ville, as the outcome of the NY26th shows, as divided meta(for) prevails. But to unembed these analogies, the Ryan plan was the issue in the divide to lose in New York, 48% takes it, while the issue will next be before the U.S. Senate with Democrats in the majority and Republicans faced with laying their votes on the line. Some will leave the sinking ship, diluting the lemonade. If I may make a few Truman references it is not a direct analogy, but hanging their votes on their necks will be like dividing to conquer.]
[Meanwhile Up-Date]
[Speaking of not Truman--something about:
If it's a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time; that is, they will take a Republican before they will a phony Democrat, and I don't want any phony Democratic candidates in this campaign.
With my lemon twist on it:
If it's a choice between a genuine Moderate, and a Moderate in Republican clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time; that is, they will take a Democrat before they will a phony Moderate(update 10-11-2011), and I don't want any phony Moderate candidates in this campaign.

OK, it loses a little bit of it's zest, but that is the nature of the slippery-slope, trickle down, lemonade, mudville.]

Lemon Ship

Friday evening I used the sinking ship metaphor in a conversation[*].  It is more accurately the lemon (twist) ship, definitely in need of work. 

[*]8-26-13 Or lemonade plank metaphor ? Talking about mixed metaphors. (FP1)
Walking the plank plays into the dynamic evolution.  As a party wanes out of power, less partisan or more pragmatic(some may read opportunistic) members leave to dilute the partisanship of the new ship and leave a more concentrated sunken ship.  As I have now expanded the sort here are more to (un-b.s.) or blog search:

Between Two Farces.

Force A. Business
Force B. Freedom

Now that is climate change, the change in tone of my heading and lede or ship some are in. But my original intent was in all due respect to the opposition of the Affordable Care Act.  The farces?  You can keep your healthcare, not that the government is a monopoly and can tell them to keep you and they are not able to change. Now that is a swift navigator.

BTW: If some of my perspective is lost in translation it may be because I used them elsewhere.*  Example:  It takes more than three points for perspective, but one more to fix it.

* Knot so related Google Find: Paul ? Not yet read.[9-30-13 now not so unrelated, not to mention AB||BA.]

Note: 2B & xG(FC)
[update here @  =. ]

Between two other farces, and The Cycle.  Democracy and the Republic pop U lace.  I am talking congres as it is divided.  President Obama won his election, the Democrats took the Senate and the popular vote for the House is also a Democratic majority.  If not for Obamacare?  I think not.  There must be an end to the compromise and hostage taking.  Not to mention cats and dogs on Martin Bashir.  A clean vote would pass in the House.  I guess it is a filibuster of one, the House Speaker under the Hastert* rule** Knot so random insert.
