[Back in the Box:(my comment forestalled by login difficulties)

I believe (Jiu Jitsu in Afghanistan) does fit into his "despise"(d) "left-right boxes"(metaphor) more than the writer understands. And also less into the martial arts metaphor than he also understands. To me, there is difficulty equating(or rather comparing) war with diplomacy and yet there is also an intelligence factor that differs. To mix boxes (or analogies might be better), you have Rumsfeldian intelligence and then there is what is really out there * . War obviously relies more on secrecy, while diplomacy relies more on openness, however you will still have those that play a war game, whether in or out of the box or whether they are with us or against us.

This is more than self-fulfilling loopiness.]

Should we all be inside out? [last 3 links updated 5-4-09]

How can one make light of a tragedy?

By looking for a silver lining. I think that is what we all want to do. We just have different perspectives on what preemptive is. But remember the silver lining requires a cloud and a light and it is always darkest before the dawn.(Not.)

My original trigger for this thought was a satire on the recent Seahawks loss in Chicago. But please note that my weapon of choice is words and I often have too full a tool box and grab the wrong instrument. But there is a difference between a target and a gun sight and I am sure that they meant surveyors or navigational equipment. Then there is the questionable use of a muzzle.

Back to Seattle: I feel I cost the Seahawks the game by not wearing my cap till the third quarter or so. But then maybe it was in the cards, or the hand of Chicago that was dealt. If these three downs aren't enough then Plato is a hail Mary and there is nothing wrong with the school of hard knocks.

Retain Randy Gordon - State Senate

[update] Senator Gordon was in my precinct today, and I had the pleasure of door belling with him. The King County Council appointed him to the seat Fred Jarrett vacated in his appointment as Deputy King County Executive. Senator Gordon hit the ground running* and is proud of his achievements, and is now excited to face the voters at their door and the ballot box. It was an education watching him win over skeptical and independent voters. There is a surprising understanding of the place for responsible government and even Democrats can give us an earful. It is hard to say who was more impressed between the two of us, in spending over 4 hours in the hills of Bellevue on a near 8o degree July afternoon, but many voters were grateful for the chance to air their concerns and have his ear.

*not that I pun, he was in Olympia the day after his appointment, and focused on getting things done rather than running

Pay Dirt / Tax Mud

Rachel Maddow rakes over Senator Kyl for his not intending to make "factual statements" shovel.*
He never actually said X, but effectively and economically, Y is the same thing. Except when it is for the 99%. Tax cuts for the 1% do not need to be paid for. Also not extending the Bush tax cuts, is a tax increase. But tax cuts for the 99%, those need to be paid for, and not extending them are not a tax increase.

I think the slogan "NO NEW TAXES" is very Democratic, give us the old taxes. And a new Texas might not hurt.

Senator Kyl is not lying about what he has never said, literally, but see chart, and how tax cuts pay for themselves. But there is a two fold problem here. One, following my words in the equation. Two, following the chart. But it seems to me that actually, in the Permanent Tax Cuts category, it would be even harder to say. But it does seem to show a relative benefit to old tax rates mixed with Obama tax rates, and flip-flopping the Republican tax policy, as we have virtual mud from the trickle-down. And we even have pun with the bank and the cave.]

Democratic Leaders Delay Contempt Again
By Matt Renner t r u t h o u t | Report

So as long as there is room for failure there is room for delay, as a bargaining chip for unaccountability. Democrats and the people will have a long haul. I hope that it works out for us. The administration and its supporters, meaning those that will not be bipartisan to help the economy without giving Bush a free pass have the constitution and the economy over a barrel. And the people are taking it in the shorts which is a barrel and keep getting kicked and rolled.

No wonder they can't see the spin.

Speaking of spin, here is an interesting turn:
Bush budget won't fully fund Iraq war

Looking back, the great irony of this administration will be that the only time Bush asked for a full year’s funding for Iraq was in his 2008 request -- in the first months of a new Democratic Congress. He succeeded in getting what he needed but also used the war expenditures as a hammer of sorts to squelch other spending demands. Yet again Wednesday, the House failed to override Bush’s veto of a bill adding $35 billion over five years to expand health insurance for children of low-income families.

Speaking of interesting and speaking of irony.

Obama Leaks

Some might say he reeks,
but I say that there is more to the issue than liquids or gases.
Pump out the rhyme. This is just a leed into two points which I cannot tell where they came from.
1. the debt does not matter
2. social security does not matter to the debt
3. GE I did not know I was going to stick with the meta4, but of course both matter. And the underlying points I want to make, which I cannot source particularly is that the President's plan when accepted will establish one and two. In other words, the kind of debt matters(tax cuts v. investments) and an opening of the "lock box" that makes congress accountable for social security regardless of debt. Neither are easy to say, leak of the leeds** or reek of the leads, but taxes do matter to everyone, but so do budget calculations and the big picture whether you are a person, corporation, state or fed/global.

[And please note that I have not really made much of the Wikileaks controversy, as I do not support the methods and reasons for its existence. While we do need to have better journalism and government, I am not sure it will help in the scheme of things. Rupert Murdock as a source of inspiration, now supports my feelings in this area, as well as the reference or links of reasoning to scientific journalism.* While my crack at GE hints at the $marminess of some journalism, I will cover that with this mud. The mud in this case is the subjective skills that are responsibly noted which makes raw leaks only facts not truth. Raw data(information) is not just objective but subjective itself.]
