Belated and Preempted Father's Day

May Tim Russert Rest in Peace.
In my humble opinion, he was the best in a field that could do better.
Any comparisons would be possibly in other fields.
But being the Washington DC, Bureau Chief had its responsibilities and limitations.
The political connection and who one meets, and what the press is deserves as much as he gave and more.

My leap to Obama is a matter that others may regard as ill timed, but seems to be fit to be tied. For who are we to say? He took the opportunity to celebrate Father's Day by sending a message to a community. Some may take offense that he is saying what others have said and they could not get away with it. It might not just be who he is, but what and how and why he says it and to whom. Maybe a message and messenger the world and all communities need to get.

How does this get back to Russert? Being a father, messenger and a message maker may be more than a job description and more than any competition or a father can say.

Yet how appropriate is it to ask that words be carefully chosen, and to expect that a race mean more than a competition and a community mean more than a father, while not bringing new meaning to mother. It might take a village, but it also takes a government and a free press, not to mention respect for the law and our natures.

[For my own words and feelings, I missed much of his work, but cannot begrudge those that will miss him so dearly, no matter how they valued his work. Maybe my lack of pedestal for Tim Russert is the best testimonial to his being fair and balanced without quotation marks, in a so-called "Fair and Balanced" world which is a business and so much more.]

I wouldn't go that far.

On the verge of declaring that the CNBC motto should be Lean BackWords, (I did use the term Fauxword), it is interesting how the words(** )play out.

But how far should one go? Not* that I was starting from there.**

** Oops maybe I was.

[Here is where it started and how far will it go? See AM above.]

The Most Dangerous Game

Maybe We Should Take the North Koreans at Their Word Tikkun.org
Yet Republicans?

(Bring the moral ground back to earth, Senator Graham)
(Quibbling over meanings: Making over interpreting law and policy. *
The issue is the use of words and the foundation of our nation on the constitution for the purpose of justice for the people. After that it takes a village idiot and a dictionary. There are only three branches of government. None supreme, but they have their separations in the constitution after that "it is not a location" but it is out there. There is no department of interpretation, but the courts do decide and the rest must interpret. That all three branches make law is a valid charge in their following it or not and the process keeping up.)

* punctuation neutral but bold links have been fully read and recommended if not bluntly. It must be remembered that any justice, executive or legislator can say anything, but it is the court that answers the question of law whether it is 5-4 or 8-1 and understood or followed or not.

Stranger than Science (Fiction)

"Nixon speechwriter Ben Stein is being paid to extol a pseudoscience whose hypotheses can't be tested" The Stranger
That should take us back.
That's what she said.
Who?

Speaking of speechwriters, who put together the "testicular courage"[correction fortitude] for Hillary, when she apparently can't remember "it takes a village"?
