[ POW?!!!WOW!!!? ]

[Originally: McCain Legacy: now with Rice Lacuna. * ]
Son of an admiral.
Grandson of an admiral.
Shot down, POW.(served with honor)

"I am the son and grandson of admirals," McCain said. "They were my first heroes, and their respect for me has been one of the most lasting ambitions of my life... They showed me how to love my country, and that has made all the difference for me."

Speaking of respect and being a POW-WOW! **

Speaking of bringing it to the table or Seeds of Compassion I think I need to turn over a new leaf at the Green Festival.

[Over the weekend for some reason; possibly while McCain was not answering questions about his potential running mate, the name, Condi Rice came to my mind briefly yet clearly. I do not recall this item being the trigger, but in my mind it would make it interesting, and it happened to be in my inbox this morning. A McCain/Obama and Rice/Clinton debate series would be interesting as much as any other mix of these: Tempered dialogue and senses of humor aside. ZING!

* "grain of truth" ?

** FEATURED ARTICLE: WOW!
[[ UPDATED 04-04-08 WOW! & this item on Rice

Rice Lacuna Planning Update.
[Note--See Comment-- I have pretty much updated the previous related links,
but lost in the mud or rice paddy is the problem,
lack of faith in nation building and the foundations and processes
otherwise updated in the right column as OUR FREEDOM and THE LAW.

[ * ]Disclosure: [I bought a Kucinich T-Shirt for his courage at the NW Progessive Convention but it must be remembered that the House has no filibuster, and the Senate has had many missed opportunities. And both have had untold negotiations and tactics.]

Anyway...

I may be slightly facetious but I like facts. I also like doing what Condoleeza Rice thinks she is good at.(see Rice Lacuna : Memo)Drawing conclusions from the titles of pieces or from only the slimmest of facts, which Secretary of Infotainment Rumsfeld says change anyway.

Anyway...from How Bush Really Won Quoting George Bush from November 3rd, 2004 "I have won what I call political capital and now I intend to spend it."

I guess a few million votes may merit some capital, but only compared to 2000 and given the point that it was only the Supreme Court that selected him, I guess we can still call it political. I was going to note that it was the Electoral College or rather Florida and now Florida and Ohio that gave him some capital and we have yet to see how much, let alone what he means by spending it. Are we lost yet?

Now I may read the link or just save it as a hysterical document.

Rice Lacuna

At the administation's table.

It is also at the core of Bush policy.

I must thank Rachel Maddow for getting me on this track.
