Inserted.
New Aunts.

Ground Zero
[BTW: Massachusetts is the home of Dunkin' Donuts. And I have yet to listen to the complete Position above, but it is kind of funny that Dave Johnson[@40 minutes] follows a Coffee Partier.(around 22 minutes)]
[Not to mention earlier parties.]

Uncle Sam is a character representing our country.
You've come a long way baby*.
Something was speaking to me as I saved the above heading before I even found the Huffington Post piece. I have yet to read the article, but I will preemptively say that the Republican Party is in trouble, and that does not mean that the Tea Party is anything to laugh at.

Ground Zero
Just returned from an East Coast journey, the complete itinerary and journal is not available, but we managed to take in many historic sites, from Boston Harbor, and Ground Zero to Stony Hill Inn.
It was our own little Tea Party of sorts, but we must note in passing, the anniversaries of Katrina and the memorable Martin Luther King Jr. Speech.

I just found out that posts can not only be post-dated but back-dated. I discovered this after my last three posts. I hereby swear that any editing or anachronistic posting will always be noted, and none have taken place at this time. Post- or back-dating, unless noted, that is.

Paradigm Rebuilding
I will have to read these two more carefully. And the 1 in 5 for expiration of all Bush tax cuts is interesting, and this Krugman piece may have slipped off my radar. Tangentially...and more Re-CAP.

Ground Zero & Logical Relativism?
[Please note that I stumbled upon this link 2-13-11 and believe it may have been held in draft]
OK, I will not expound upon whatever my headline means, except for this poll.
But have we learned anything from the Shirley Sherrod episode?
Others have a more nuanced stand, while Keith Olbermann attempts some perspective.
[Nuanced footnote: Grounds: Zero?. And yet, I can support* Harry Reid's statement, realizing he may know the difference which Republicans don't, basically like Chris Hayes does not support The National Review, but does not intend to ban it. It seems to hinge(or spin) on freedom and opportunity.
* I am using the word "support", which Hayes says is not the right word, but I use it in the Right's context. All words are nuanced or in context, which disconnects** many from the cause and effect of nature and progress, let alone values or taste.]
** note: emphasis bold links, and anachronism of last two

Failure of Modesty...
works on so many levels
except the Right[*].
[(cont.) 8-16-10 Needless explanation?
It is the modesty of the administration which has failed us, and the immodesty of the Republicans or Market Capitalists that brought collapse.]
[*True: "You don’t want government to try to restore confidence." Yet the problem was in the repeal of Glass-Steagall and the following three rules makes sense:
[Note: low debt is no more linked to low taxes than GDP is to values. The formulas for derivatives are the problem not the formulas for economics.]

2. Eliminate derivatives, complex derivatives, keep the products that don’t require formulas...
3. Eliminate moral hazards...make sure they have no externalities

Gibbs is Right!
An incomplete Ribble. I have not sided in on this, unless...
(the "this", is the first link, and then we go'round.)
[David Gregory gives a good interview and Republicans dance well. Ford(D) is credible and Pence(R) is not germane. But I still feel that there is nothing the Republicans suggest that is: A. new, B. in the right direction, C. cumulatively(ironic and not) already being done.]

Update...
In Balance. Jobs package: passed and paid for. This was noted in our Saturday discussion[*], I did not know how close it was to passing.
Teachers and fire fighters due to lose their jobs due to state deficits, will be saved, at the expense of corporations who have tax credits for overseas operations and future food stamp reductions.

Chart
Bank for the Buck
The Economy is not just Economics, and neither so economic.
Pun aside, it is real.
No irony intended, that too is germane.
[This was not an intended ribble, but if only I had flip-floppin fonts.]

Accidental update:
Death of a Journalist?
(Turns out he wasn't. Not regarding death but journalist.)
I get it! Darn D$!
Now, where(1) was I going?
Bang for the Bank?(2)
No...Bank for the Buck!
Yes, I really was headed for this chart, and 42itus or not, it is not apples and oranges,(3) it is jobs and economics.

In Balance
In a recent conversation with a rather critical* or independent Democrat(i.e. moderate or typical American) the issue of why the Democrats might lose in the mid-term elections came up. I don't think he used the word populism, but he did note that something should be done about jobs, or rather outsourcing/imports and addressing it dramatically with some sort of tariff. The discussion revolved around doing something, even if it was not the effective thing; it would be what the people want and it would show that the Democrats were doing something. One of the tangents took off on the Arizona immigration laws, as an example of the states doing something because the federal government wasn't. And fighting them in court was wrong, because it went against what the people wanted. i.e. do something about China and imports because it looked right, not necessarily that it would be most effective.
Needless to say the conversation did not go exactly like this, but this is possibly clearer than my usual meandering.**
*bordering on cynical
** this is not mine, nor meandering
(The American Prospect*** magazine: "Forget Populism")
(The New Yorker Online: "Risk and Robustness")
[With proper perspectivism, pragmatism and incrementalism, we could balance nature with our values, or make our values work.]
[***8-12-10 revised only to note magazine(also corrected) was in my mailbox after our discussion, New Yorker Online, was view prior to, but discussed and Meet the Press was found later.]

Where there is a why, there is a how.

Dennis Preager recently paraphrased Nietzsche, and G.W. Bush earlier refudiated* Machiavelli. If the end were to justify the means, what justifies the end? No pun on the variations of mean(etc.) but...[I hate to leave this rhetorical**, but...]

Romer Resigns
Full stimulus package considered by head of Council of Economic Advisers, not in the memo from Larry Summers, director of the White House National Economic Council. Ostensible reason for departure: family considerations.
[Speaking of deals,, from the bargain rack @B&N]
[I would propose that contrary to the fear of trade, that we consider the Egg. i.e. follow the money? No...the bubble. With social evolution, value has increasing variables in the equation*. All the kings men and all the kings horses, have to get a little yoke on their faces.]
*see p.3 here, it would seem that Nature is the original cost. I may be punning but it would seem that the number and impact of the deer and beaver would have a place in the equation. But my original intent, was not in the beginning values but the end values, and costs of the highest creations of finance.]
