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.
Who let the dogs out? Not Pavlov.
[As for questionable sources: here are some earliest comment.
And more recent.]
[Speaking of rhetorical change*... what about repeal of the Dole-Romney Healthy Deficit Reduction Act, aka Obamacare.]

Third Time's The Charm
[Finally posted 3-14-11 ]
Three times lucky? Actually I have not been lucky in finding the origin of the first, but I have been several times knocked off course. Just as I wrote this the news was noting the passing of a local law enforcement officer who had three centers of gravity, friends, family and work, so is that the message? "Every cloud has a silver lining" has also recently infiltrated my blog. That is credited roughly to John Milton and Katty Macane.
Numbers may play a big part in superstitions, but they also may play a big part in meanings. Past, present and future is just one case for threes, though not necessarily in that order, and this is not just to play with words. Of course if superstitions play any part in society, they will play a part in words, and words play a part in meanings, but which comes first? Some of this math and meandering came to my attention in regards to politics. Have you heard of the third way? The Clinton Adminstration was the first occasion I became aware of it in a political form, not that I had done the math in regard to other departments. But basically there are the two ends of the political spectrum and then there is the centrist. But is it the people, the target or the answers that are there? Or is it target, people or answers...who knows? However at this time I intend to apply it to the topic of navigation, or at least The Myth of Triangulation and wonder if a silver lining plays into any of this. While it is plane* to see where three plays into many things, it should suffice to read Robert Reich's article yourself as I have now read it twice. But I have yet to revisit the concept of navigation itself or any application of the tetrahedron to other perspectives of improving on our picture.

Ideology
The perspective one has of society's creation and one's role in it.***
Not* Exactly[!]
[Ideology and Iowa are a lot like the eye of the needle or camel.(no pun)]
[Perspective: to be processed later more or less...[!]
Speaking of ant or fable TV. Democrats cannot afford to have distractions or liars, just because "the Right" does it. Speaking of irrelative**: ant:Anthony, Ed:Rush,(or Beck Or Reck) Whiner:BaneOr, silver lining:golden rule, objective/subjective ]
* iOWa, iRreleFont? Rachel Maddow discusses the "small i" people. But then, eye had not seen her comments.
** something about relative in regards to the differences in ideologies and personalities on spectrum ofor loopiness on the left or right.
***[Media(sources) a side: wMD: I may go on or take hiatus but the bottomline is the top line is mine. i.e. I have only begun the Mike Cormack book, and I am not quoting it. Ibid this bracket.(Thanks to truthout.org for this last crack, not the book]

On the level...
playing the field.
It takes three points to determine a plane,
in contrast to the previous cloud.[*]
(silver lining / golden rule)
[Not to mention "transpartisan possibilities" Again thanks to Stephanie Miller.]

There was nothing...
necessarily prophetic meant with Third Time's the Charm. Or was there? It may have been the spin-off of either or and the likes of Beck and some evangelicals. Even just in the either or of "I'm just saying", which might be related to a silver lining, which only has three sides. There is the light, the dark and the actual cloud that matters. [SAVED IN DRAFT & CONTINUED & SUBMITTED 3-22-11) Third Times a Charm, means that if you look right, look left, cross the street, and there is a chicken already on the other side, you may have learned a lesson...or not. Not to be making light of recent tragedies, but that actually is the point. That nuclear energy is not on the same plane as air or traffic accidents. But back to the original point, that Third Times a Charm regards Toning Down the* Lines.
*Or were we?
[SUB-TEXT: the table and I Ron Knee.]
[Update: my original assessment before the air strikes began was that the President was following the letter of the law if not the spirit. I won't get into the spirit of the Patriot Act but is part of the law as well as the 1973 War Powers Act and the constitution. My point being that it is one thing to debate an action by the president, it is another to make a law determining or undermining his powers. Any reassessment will have to take into account the current politics as well as earlier circumstances not to mentiuon the politics then. It is that frame in which I am optimistic that change matters as well as who is in charge.]
[Footnote to power and politics not to mention economics.]
[Not exactly breaking, but one reason going to congress would not make sense. Would it make sense to make doing the right thing even more political? Would it make sense for journalists to be giving detailed intel to an enemy? The right thing being to save lives rather than waiting for a massacre. It can be wondered well why not other places, well then get some consensus, but some are in the past and others may be prevented in the future or nothing may change. And there may be a bonus feature[**] in this turkey on the table and that is the subject of war funding and the budget process or complacency.]

No Frackin' Way
Nuclear power is one thing*, but Frackin' with our water?
* not green(except for trickle up)
[What the frack is the connection to Newt Gingrich, well the paradox of green and being able to be a paradox period. His frackin' campaign seems to be burning the candle on both ends. But this is too complex for me to explain, except for the idea that he commits to Lean Six Sigma,*** but not to the concepts his staff thinks it will take to win. Is this a bringing it to the table moment ala the silver lining of the churned media cloud? It is bad enough that Republicans have enough money to run their lies in ads and Faux News, but they have enough to add cloud to the process.]
[Not to** mention lame stream media.]
** way
*** last frackin' link
[Post comments footnote(see my two comments): There is nothing wrong with Six Sigma as a tool, but it may be besides the point, but not aside from the point of whose hands it is in, and for what purpose it is wielded(people or profit). In fact, I believe that "Lean Six Sigma" violates "Six Sigma" principles by having a target of 25% spending reduction, which demonstrates my point on purposes and whose hands should wield it for what. Aside from the point: what the frack is the point of government?]

Ge Oh Me Try?
WTF?*
It is not about me or any of these people, but...
* no balloon head but silver lining?
[My orginal intent was to reflect some social/organizational/vector dynamics. One word image led to another but that is the point, what the heck is the point, when there are so many pointers let alone parties and perspectives?]

C Sick?
CNN may be a cup o'tea.
C Wave... Ouch!
See sea et al...& new careers.
Lawrence O'Donnell (LO Low and behold)
[My original intent was in the LO and behold.]
[... on the other hand, sitting in for Chris is Chuck!(See hosts.)]
[Speaking of Left Behind*]
* I was unable to find the Hardball link which referred to "Left Behind" but the "Left" above is a backlash from the Sherrod "lesson".
[7-23-10 bolds added and note: I am complimenting CNN's coverage of the Sherrod situation, and comparing/contrasting the latest Rangel reaction, as well as Chuck Todd(for Chris Matthews) hosting a conversation. Update "lesson".]
[There may be a silver lining to a Rangel ethics trial, it is about transparency and justice, and politics. Congress can hold their own accountable and demonstrate the hypocrisy of fair and balanced ethics, let alone justice. Some are suggesting he be removed post haste, and that would not serve justice or transparency.]
[Compare and Contrast(no comma)Pragmatism**.]
** to be relinked to later report on extending tax cuts or reform.[Meanwhile*** on the more practical than political.]
*** also breaking: needed link to Dylan Ratigan w/Chris Kofinis on change of business as usual.

Churned Media
Now that's the ticket!
"Earned Media" was the term that Sharon Angle malappropriated, but this is the punchline to my wave theory* of the mess age and the difficult dynamics of what is on the table.
* the squeaky wheel gets the oil, I mean media.
[Trump to Reality (Or Eye of The Tiger?)
Translation: Maybe I am looking for a silver lining, but is The Donald potentially the Nixon to China in all this dark matter.]
[Now what about Re-Birthers? By Jingo. Not to mention. And I am not talking Manchurian Candidate. SEGUE I think I had better take a double Sabbatical, for "business reasons" and for cleaning up this act.]

Breaking or
Peripatetic Justice and Ledership let alone
an achronism ?
This is a ramble on the Wave, aka the 4th Estate as well as a hint for a Ribble. No pun on Reliable Sources but I could have more reliable spelling but not an achronism.
I won't mess with the mutliple bottom lines* but it is about change and finding a silver lining. Changing my procedures will be job one, but as for this content note the bold italics. This is a preemptive note, before I take the time to more fully process the SOTU.
Foot note: fourwords for the two word culture - bane or con text
* last links added: period/pause
[Woof! Ratings are now in for the SOTU, and here are two ecumenical references. Rachel Maddow, a "prayer for the free-market" from as Joe Scarborough put it "the Cardinal". Who let the CEO's out! Speaking of "genre" note the connection to CNN.]

What is ledership?
Is it really the press? In first amendment terms it might be. This is no pun on spelling, but it maybe hits on being able to follow and keep our freedoms.
Ribble: Actually it might be a pun on spelling, or just looking for a silver lining. Speaking of which, I am sure I have a few to be corrected.
BTW: If you are a bit tuckered out by this, then maybe get out of the kitchen? But I lay no claim to being an original intender but...

Hatred Hits Home:
6 Shot at Jewish office is the Seattle Times headline on Saturday morning.
Gumman "said he hates Israel" : was a subheading.
Sunday: Community responds with sorrow, unity
Subheading: Rabbi Mirel: Hatred will not be our legacy
Sometimes people are skeptical of the metaphor that "Every cloud has a silver lining", but sometimes it is just a must that we take good from evil.
