SOFA "-" Democracy in Transition. ***
No disrespect to the departed or the irony that the economy is a bit* on the thankless side and the idea that we can shop our way out of trouble, let alone be thankful for what and where we get it from.
* my original convergence was in error due to some media outlet or my filtering poorly so that is the excuse for the lame segue or evolution (the first two links are not the original two) the following two** (resulting)may be too anacronistic to be convergence, but with timelines and the world turning hard to tell. Just two (nfry) pieces that may be more flip-flop or material for nuance, yet a prime feature of transition in these precarious times.

Update: Bailout
Bubble bursting. Did I call it? Not exactly.
Funny how links or searches work or miss. There is a conspicuous absence of some players.
[Plus hold overs for steady change [**].]
[[Olbermann called it as well as and cap-sized Rove. But on the third hand. ]]

More than psychologicaL...
but part of it for now.
Obama begins treatment of the economy.
Previous claims of mental depression.
McCain/Gramm syndrome dealt with.
[On the other hand: Trickle-Down Bailout Continues.]
[There is only one psychologist at a time. But Obama must be semi-engaged and Bush must acknowledge his part, not that this means that the Citigroup move was crazy. Until the transition is complete there is a good reason for this cross between a tug-a-war and teeter-totter. Can we say legacy? Bailout is a misnomer except as a metaphor for a rising tide that doesn't lift all boats and just who is the bailer or bailee of the trickle-down [*].]
[11-25-08: Obama Stressing Recovery [**] ]
[11-26-08: [*] bold and link update and [**] steady but tiered course of change.]
[11-10-09: I must note that I correct the dates above from somehow August to must be November.{?}]

Myth-Buster
"A media parable for "The Center"
by Norman Soloman,
www.OurFuture.org
Speaking of future...
Justice is the whole point of our society. The judgement of history is not enough.
* CLICK HERE for your judgement.
It seems that impeachment is the only remedy. Unless there is some unknown clause that will protect the legal process from pardons, the only abuse of power seems to be that of congress to allow it. That may be the judgement of history.
* Seriously, an action item request.
[In summary this is about the media spin and the political ramifications of missing the center. And also about my Rachel Maddowing superstition going back to pre-Clinton. Meaning: Clinton (Bill) was not my cup of tea, but I opted out emotionally for the good of the country. Look what happened. The country first worked, and then the vast right-wing-conspiracy took over. If these words click you off, then don't link here.

Throwing this out.
Cut tax breaks for advertising. That would probably make them more efficient, but it would certainly not help Palin's crusade.
As long as I am tossing out nuggets, how about:
One stockholder: One vote!
If you want more than your share? Buy it. *
Now that is tergiversation.(Changing one's opinion.)
Actually a ludicrous leap, but which demonstrated tendencies to let the market fix it. But maybe a tax break for investors up to a limit, per company, to distribute the vote. If you want more than one vote, buy shares in more than one company. Maybe corporations need a new hierarchy **. They are not in the constitution, but the word "welfare" is.(Pre-amble) There are three branches of the government, and the separation of press and business is as important as church and state, though not directly a corollary or balanced. (First Amendment) The point is (well) there is a lot of water under the bridge or rubric of precedence, which may be undermining our fundamentals, AKA "the people".
* update: The irony or unsatire slipped in here. I was going to clarify the Buy It crack, but I had already explained the ludicrous leap: Tax incentives or regulations which would revalue the voice of people and money.
** corporations are not in the constitution, they are and have been constituted by government and people. With all the irony of the moral hypocrisy over the death penaly and cloning, just how have we allowed the creation of such Leviathans.

I'm Sorry?
Did I get that right? OK, I will skip the wise cracks and just link to other references to what touched me off, and one weird coincidence. Also. WWWWWH?
And yesterday, Ed Schultz had a caller that claimed that the auto industry should have known about the coming financial crisis, which Ed met with skepticism or faith in our fellows, so to speak. But really they should have known given their interconnectedness, and that is probably the problem.(Thanks Thom Hartmann) And the connectedness to the media. So I hit two bailins on the head. Randi Rhodes helped with the Larry King link(weird). Lou Dobbs helped with the Bush link(references). Not to mention what* matters.
My morning joe is only in the cup, sometimes I get my morning wakeup first (AM1090)
* a challenge (where I embed links that might matter)
Also (Randi)
More (Ed)
Rant (Thom) Respectfully
GoLeftTV (Ring of Fire)
And not the least (Rachel Maddow)
Nor the worst.(Keith Olbermann)
As long as I'm digging (the Daily Show) Jon Stewart and my name sake .

I'm sorry?
Did I hear that right? I will have to dig up a link later, but this is about the denial that Bush is still in, and the qualification Wells Fargo (CEO or someone) made, about the bail out not going for executive salaries. It is unfair for me to begin this blast without further digging, but just the surface sod is soaked with effluence. So I will sort some key words from the Bush: "capitalism" in conjunction/contrast to "free market".
With Wells Fargo it is a matter of bookkeeping and an earlier flip-flop it seems, on the matter of what the bailout is going for... are we rescuing failing institutions or helping those that are efficient? In this case I have rather unparsed and taken a tangent from the trickle-down of the bonus problem, but there is a righteous problem about the housing bubble and fundamentals.
Maybe a graphic form will help:
Capitalism - - Free Market
Bonuses - - Book Keeping
Rescue - - Help
Bubble - - Fundamentals
Meaning, Myth, Model, Metaphor; may be my mantra,
but there is a cycle that needs work.
And to my estimation (tergiversate[**] or not) the housing bubble is a result of a fundamental flaw in economics. It works for those that buy it. But it really matters what the it is. Not to mention who sells it.
Not to mention the media again: WWWWWH? I might return to give more particular sources, but for now I leave with the answer: who, what, when, where, why, and how? as well as note the only labels at this time are Progressive Media and Thom Hartmann, and if I return I will [bracket][*$*]changes.[*]
[* as soon as I finished this and bracketed that, I thought, and must note that I have now made minor edits (& bold) for clarity sake, unbracketed.]
[** I wonder if I am a De-tergiversator ***?]
[*** I had to go old school and open a book, the answer is; not if it is (the latter) to change one's opinion, but may be others, not the De. Yeah, the De and the Un.]
[*$*] passing the buck I have not returned but simply connected here

Patriotism is Progressive
Not just a cliche!

[Looking back, looking forward, and in between?(updated) Key reads are convoluted, amidst those nfry and those I have or will review. Labels will hint at some progress. In this particular, the bold forward (above) is a programming note for the Bill Moyers Journal, airing TOMORROW!]

Key Read
This is one of my first implementations of change:
Post Obama, or Pre-Obama-Nation.
Key(new label) reference Navigation(old label), See Foreign Policy (ongoing label)
Search WaPo, not looking back, or contributor. (Embedded works.)
Obama to Explore New Approach in Afghanistan War
The Washington Post - Karen DeYoung, Staff Writer. (nfry)*
* don't forget that this site is easily search-able in the top left corner
as SEARCH BLOG, and CTRL F, on your keyboard,
and NAVIGATION was a label that I used in reference to our course and change. Example: Help!
OK, it is a bit loopy**, but that is like progress:
It is a heckuva harder job to build on than trickle down on.
** see nature of change in regards to labels and sorting technologies Note: the difference between LABEL and top of right column.
[Speaking of Embedded, Dean is a fork in the road. The Game.]
[To Read, one, two, three, four, in yet to be determined order]

An Honored Day!
It never seems right to say Happy "such and such" on certain such particular days. But a thank you for your service is called for.
To all the men and women and to their families,
who serve in the armed services,
THANK YOU, and I guess:
Happy Veterans Day!

may be the holdover. This may be in position only, as Bush may not have completely disengaged in his transition, having the ability to hear them is the key.

Global Test
and local grades.
The real test begins. (Jerry Large, Seattle Times )
Hold the cheers* but, bottoms up. (Robert L. Jamieson Jr., Seattle PI )
I believe it was election morning that I woke up with the word iconoclast bouncing around my head. I guess I am an image or symbol breaker, not that I am not impressed by monuments and symbols and work out my own. But maybe it was the breaking dawn** that came to mind.
* of self congratulations as far as the slippery slope caused by the trickle down. But not to dampen any inspiration and pride for this historic moment, we can all take in.
** "the fundamentals are strong" the base is where the work is needed: of, by and for the people.

Change Happens!
A New Kind of Pride Eugene Robinson Washington Post Even from my Norman* roots.
From a Rachel Maddowian perspective, I don't want to count my chickenhawks before they fly. But as you can tell by the time of this post the ground swell is a great feeling.
Maybe I won't call it till 1-20-09. Superstition being that as soon as a bet is placed the odds change. Actually that is a reality. Technically every vote should count. Statistically it takes us all. I don't know whatity,(or whatally) but it is rather late. The point is, I will not place a bet on the chance it jinxes or nixes our future.
[grab bag from my email]
[8:30 AM - Obama Elected President as Racial Barrier Falls Truthout.]
[I have to say the Republicans succesfully employed a strategy to get out the vote that I could not have implimented by myself. Make it tough to vote and the people will get it.]
[Looking forward from yesterday: Obama on Election Day. and last week regarding fears of one party rule.]

VOTE!
This blog has seemingly dwindled down to a trickle. Not that there will not be more to shovel and the silly season will never be out of season, but we always have a choice as to how much we muck up or how low we get.
