Reaganomics and Joe the Plumber

What is the differences between Reaganomics and Joe the Plumber?
The former is about the affluent, and the latter the effluent.

I think Joe called himself a flash in the pan, well it may be in the kitchen where trickledown has sizzled away.

These are the worst mixed metaphors that really should make us steam.
I won't even plug the links to this @rap, but snake them in here,
and this is no $#!+

Now Dat's...

what I am talkin' 'bout.
And I had not even found the latter link before I had this line. But the former link needs updating and post dating.

Here it is:

Rough ramble old style.(pen and paper)

NO LABEL (constitutionalist)
Dragnet: names are changed (no association)
Bubble Up(Still) Party
No Champagne, but trickledown of whine.
Private Corps./Adam Smith
History / Our foundation.
Guilt by association, innocent by No.
Social Darwinist[Fundamental wordist}
Free Association, Not a Force.
Free Willie? So who(said)dat?
Play the cards, dealer.

Post-Sub Title: Buddie to remain nameless,
can you (S)paradigm and Party Less.

[The above will stand alone, substantially as originated and linkless so to speak, and for others to Google or search(of blog) themselves.]

NOW FOR THE FOOTNOTES: Who Dat? Chuck Knox. The Saints were no cards but the Seahawks are no joke! Now I will not try to trace back the rest of my ramble, but it is what I had in mind. But I will make a further association. The party to remain nameless, was asked for a label for himself(Constitutionalist). While others may be Tea Party Republicans or Libertarian Free Marketeers, to label or not to label that is the question. Whether is is nobler in the minds... Regardless we can associate 3rd partiers that may or may not associate with a party as having common strains* if not roots.

Note: changed "changes" to changed in ref. to Dragnet line.

BTW: whatever happened to the Gatorade for Carrol? I guess that is for college. But it seams a crack at the changes or no whine team. But in regards to the whine, I know parties that did not think a losing teams should go to the playoffs, but it is the way the rules were made. It is the process that matters whether you like it or not. Results of course matter, but you can't always change them.

*strains: on another thread elsewhere

Update

Since my sabbatical began, a lot has happened. Palin is trying to escape from hot water, Cheney is finally getting warm and the CIA has its own bubbles, while Supreme Court nominee Sonja Sotomayor begins her confirmation hearings.

[There seems to be a misuse of words and wise old men and wise old women in the attack on Judge Sotomayor which is actually an agism. For it is context that matters and wisdom is hard to pin on age. In fact it is hard to deny that experiences are a key ingredient in wisdom if not related to age.]

[Jeffrey Toobin CNN: "applying the law is not a judicial philosophy" after defending the right to decide confirmation on ideological differences, yet it seems similar to the judicial philosophy of the right. Republicans sure can complicate meanings, like having your cherry picked apples and oranges cake and eating it too.]

[7-14-09 Bold added to begins (The Uptake: Sotomayor hearings... Huffington Post) and old men (LA Times Blog/Text of Hearings) links
in addition Sessions miscounts * right meaning.]

[Things could not be more muddled from 3 takes:
The American Spectator: Ricci: A 9-0 Rejection of Sotomayor
The New York Times: The Opinionator
Slate: The Fray
It seems the Summary Judgement hinged on the Second Circuit Court getting it back, and that it was a 5-4 activist court which did not rely on precendence. The only 9-0 would have been if Sotomayor and the Second Circuit would decide the issue rather than the Supreme Court. It might even be said (per curiam) that we have a failure of trickledown and a slippery slope in the ability to act.]

[It might now be clear that for Sessions experience is prejudice.]

* The above analysis not counting the 3 takes just might make Media Matters (See miscounts ) more clear. Failure to account for failure to remand must be counted.

Clean Bill or Clean Getaway?

$700 Billion Bail Out?
Get out of Jail Free.
But we foot the bail.
And I don't mean a bucket for the trickledown.

Stop WMD for Main Street.

Note: References to so-called progressive economists at the table or not are embedded here.

[Action items added: ourfuture.org
and Congressman Bernie Sanders Independent ]

Urge them to act, but don't blame them if they bend a bit. Already the original plan is no longer on the table. At least according to it's so-called author even though he has trouble reading it: The so-called clean one, that is. We still must be careful of any unattached strings.

To Be Clear...

this is not Real Clear unless clearly Political.

Climategate is no trickledown* and no Climatequiddick unless it is about what trickles or goes off the bridge. (or Climatequidick) An actual hysterical historical divergence.
[Accountablity is hard work, so I reiterate: Climate quid ick? ]

* actually they are metaphorically related in their errors
[stay tuned for the not so fair e tale.
