Sinking all boats. (ConText)
The exception that proves the rule.
Actually I was originally making a comment about the economic picture, but it takes quite a crack at Beck and his fluid mind and wee wee'd up journalism*. There is much irony in the way the truth is filtered here through so-called extremist thinking. If we can keep guns out of the hands of the mentally challenged, shouldn't the media be a target? I think that given the language which has lived over the years maybe we can interpret the constitution differently and the same as some of our counter(revolutionary)advocates or is all media the press?

Who got the memo?
Who reads the script?
LO and behold, I am See Sic again.
The memo, the apology,
and The View?
Apparently FOX has acknowledged some mistakes in the Shirley Sherrod ordeal, while Beck apparently is not too up with FOX*, and Lawrence O'Donnell of Countdown still can't see**. At least when it comes to why Obama appeared on the view.
* the Dean disconnect
[links in progress***]
** link added 7-30-10 Don't get me wrong, no one on MSNBC is anywhere near, a Beck, O'Reilly or any FOX character. Even with stand ins for vacationing hosts, they have more character. But LO in particular was using a rhetorical ploy in his question to why the President would go on The View, while FOX still is on the hook for the Breitbart backtrack. It is my opinion, no one on FOX which includes Sarah Palin has any cred in wondering why, let alone criticizing, from their "gotcha journalism" perspective. And just how should Palin supporters react to her celebrating Shakespeare, who was English, and a living language, in view of the original intenders of the constitution? To be fair, making up new words, American or not, is not the same, as not being able to use or let old ones live. It is however a knew cents of stringing too words to gather.
*** I think I have capped things with "The memo" link, while "the script" link was a crack at Beck's interpretation of himself, let alone biblical error. The context or con text being everything in my View. Speaking of which, there was no memo.

Economic Reform.
Not really.
But from my FB:
[ALSO THANX Rob for Obama Reformation.]
I recently heard, that the top 1%(or 2) account for the same as the bottom 50% in income and 90% in wealth held.[***] Just thought I would throw that in without too much other comment, it was very interesting to read the exchange, thumbs up, to... all.
But Yes, the point about investment and trickle down, the argument that(BTW, it is not raising taxes, it is an end to a tax cut, which the Republicans passed, which might sound the same, but is not, neither economically or politically) an end to the tax breaks will mean they will not be able to hire, is contrary to standard business and tax practices regarding what is deductible. It seems to me that it shows that there are a lot of people in business that are lucky to be there given their understanding of things, or it really doesn't matter how well one understands things to work, and probably a bit of each of these. But the Laffer curve is the biggest joke, not to mention the bell curve in general, but actually the joke is not in the curves but in the way people use them. OK, I did have more than I intended to comment*, but I must not forget my "nose under the camel's tent"(metaphor),[**] which represents the fear that change will be continued. 'nough said? (see the BTW)
OOPS!
I left an asterisk hanging: it regarded my metaphor...of knows or # of stakes OK, I just caught myself. . I am chuckling so hard, I better ponder before deleting or refudiating.
Ah, there's the rib!
[Speaking of Anachronism and Comprehensieveshun... I only now finished reading the NYT top link.]
[**] Not to coin a Palin, my original intent was the "camel's nose" but who knows? Only the Shadow.
[***] Thanks to Thom Hartmann...if we(I) have the numbers right. Meanwhile, I cannot believe there is not a reasonableness(constitutional pun) retort to this. i.e. I look forward to more context and links.

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

The voter's loss is law's gain.
Now that seems an ironically balanced or is it antithetical thing to say.

Refudiate: Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass is Lewis Carrol not Shakespeare. The Anti-thesis of Nuance. The rib and the rub. i.e. Ribble

Refudiate: Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass is Lewis Carrol not Shakespeare. The Anti-thesis of Nuance. The rib and the rub. i.e. Ribble
Refute, of course, means "to deny the truth or accuracy of" while repudiate means "to reject with disapproval or condemnation." Presumably, what Palin meant to do was to call upon "peaceful" Muslims" to repudiate the construction of a mosque anywhere near Ground Zero.The literal rub:
"Refudiate," "misunderestimate," "wee-wee'd up." English is a living language. Shakespeare liked to coin new words too. Got to celebrate it!

Educat or
Beck:
Keith Olberman brought this to light. My original concern was that Beck was so loose in his grammar or rhetoric that some misinterpretation was almost inescapable(indeed prophetic and not for profit).
It turns out he was even loose with his script. As I transcribed the video from Countdown:
As a Norman Goldman caller called it: 32:45 to 35:47 or more...
Not that there are soul* interpretations, but there are several that say Judas did pay, in fact possibly to the potter's field.
*floundering mispelling intended
[Speaking of Shakespeare, I must admit to occasional spelling errors myself, but sometimes they are profitic.(Sp!)]
[Thank You CBS: And for refudiating Bush and English while Obama doesn't need a pardon.]
[Not to mention, thank you Sarah Palin for trickling down the language, whild Obama cleans it up, literally.][Not to mention founding words and living constitutions.]

Beck: Jesus conquered death, he wasn’t victimized he chose to give his life, he did have a choice. If he was a victim and this theology was true, then Jesus would have come back from the dead and made the Jews pay for what they did. That’s an abomination.As his blog scripted it:
This is kind of complex, because Jesus did identify with the victims. But Jesus wasn't a victim, he was a conqueror. Jesus conquered death. He chose to give his life. Jesus didn't come back from the dead and make the Jews pay for what they did. That would have been an abomination.

The Choice
Forward or Back.
Speaking of back, I know that Dorothy was not the one with the Tea Party, but Alice had the preemptive dream not to be stuck on a party theme.
Meanwhile Ed Schultz made some interesting progress, and Norman Goldman covers the same issue or Harry Reed calling out Obama. Well... not exactly. My preemptive analysis is that maybe it is good cop, bad cop routine, with several caveats. They aren't cops, they aren't just good or bad, and they aren't even the same branch of government. When it come to courage and pragmatism there is a difference between legislating and administering, and how their leadership is navigated, not to mention running the national or states governments, and their party navigations. A caller soon after with Ed, suggested that this was orchestrated, well... maybe. Who let the dogs out. Woof, woof. They are not dogs* either, but they are giving license to each other and are tugging on our leashes.
*Actually there are blue dogs, yellow dogs and maybe green or purple dogs.
[On the other hand, who knows? ...but comparing other countries debt concerns does not reflect their relative investment in infrastructure, social and jobs policies.]

Immigration Reform
and Political Maneuvering:
[Posted* elsewhere under construction.]
* I had an earlier comment [found it: SEE (scroll to)"To Heck with the Political..." 2010-07-08 12:04] not at the above elsewhere link
[My point is that Republicans are too often for something before they are against it. Some people believe there are absolutes, and do not see the gray** in their words. Present company included. Then there are people that follow leaders or misleaders. In regards to Immigration Reform, Ronald Reagan was not so demonized for his amnesty for illegal or undocumented workers. And Senator McCain was for comprehensive reform before he was against it. But the big issue is who is responsible and that is the federal government.[***] There is an optional federal E-verify program, and there are two AZ laws that are at issue. The problem is Republicans making it an issue for state political calculations, and not addressing it at the federal level for the federal political calculations.]
** or is it purple or constitutional/political separations
[*** post post links added]
[The current policy is that hiring of undocumented workers is the crime without punishment. Comprehensive Immigration Reform would be documentation with punishment but at least a process. My theory is that you cannot just enforce laws at will without interpretation and implimentation consideration, unless you are Republican. The Federal Goverment is not just the Obama Administration, it is also congress. Congress is not just the House but also the Senate. While the House is solidly in Democratic control, the Senate is in minority control, Republican 41, even though there is a bi-partisan majority. 56-D/2-I]
[Mini-Meta- Meme? I just mean a heckuva job filtering, when there is so much out there. Keep in mind: A. what a job it would be to check MSNBC & FOX and B. the fact that Politifact began only during the 2008 campaign.]

The Exit Strategy
It was my original intent in The Exit Strategy:*
I have heard now from several perspectives that the Rolling Stones article on General McChrystal was his Exit Strategy. They are from the usual talking heads or other open sources in the know, i.e. opinions supposedly from experience. It was my original intent to imply that it was the General's intent to work his way out of the job, and in so doing serve a purpose that the job of getting out of Afghanistan is served. At least two of those perspectives are; the arrangement with the reporter was very unusual**, and it allowed Obama to take the command. Even these have a strange entanglement, which just happens to spin around watching ones words, which if very tricky in times of war, let alone diplomacy. Both of which the previous administration had little command, let alone achieving on top of stating ones purposes.
*even though the Ctrl F was about navigating this blog and watching ones words
** oops! intended link
[Speaking of Watching Ones Words]
BTW: This is almost like a cross-words puzzle party. Hint: understanding Scowcroft.
