I feel like Ann Romney, with an early Birthday present.(ala CNN and the Hilary Rosen War) Yesterday someone tossed an expletive at my Obama bumper sticker. Speaking of CAD, Ted Nugent is a Raw Money reincarnation of the Swift Boaters. Only he needs a vet for his Cat Scratch Fever. More on CAD, it is not computer-aided design, it is cause and affect deficiency. 


BTW: it is still our turn,(thanks Ann) if Bush could get a second one in the middle of a war, no matter who started it.

One Take Over The Line

Sweet Lawrence,

One take over the line.

Pardon the pun on personalities and lyrics.

But Lawrence O'Donnell may have gone one take too far.

I think Ted Nugent may have walked the line of nuance better.

Lawrence filled in a "not so veiled suggestion" that Ted may have avoided. I am not defending hateful and ugly hyperbole or other extremely inaccurate characterizations made by Nugent, but he could have been implying that he could not bear to live under an Obama administration or would be persecuted for his speech. Not that he would commit suicide, I just hate to play with Nugent's cause and effect deficiency.

Maybe this is my version of Nuance Wars.

Or New Gent Wars.

Mitt Returns Wife's Gift

One might say it is politics,

but it is probably business.

But allow me an Etch-a-Sketch moment:

Ann Romney's gift was a re-gift of used analogy.

Ann claimed her gift from Hilary Rosen last week, but 3 months ago her husband used it up* on the campaign trail, when he claimed that stay-at-home moms lack "the dignity of work".

* Mitt would pay to deprive stay at home mom's this privilege.

[More on Romney "flexibility" versus President Obama's hot mic on Russia:

What I take away is that he will be a lot more "flexible" after they return to power. That way he won't have to oppose what Republicans have done to stand in the way of President Obama's plans for helping the country and the economy, not that they will not undo what he has done that has worked.

VFW :

Curve Wars? Bell Curve meets Laffer Curve.

[There is a paradox to the bell curve reference, or counter-intuitive meeting. How ironic the Laffer curve is a Bell curve, but their meeting results in The L-Curve.]

[It may be dangerous(i.e. fuzzy math and English) to insert irony or mixed metaphors/charts, but I will now switch streams.]

There seems to be an overly conservative perspective on government spending in the Krugman/Wells article with the use of the word temporary:

In 2008 we suddenly found ourselves living in a Keynesian world — that is, a world that very much had the features John Maynard Keynes focused on in his 1936 magnum opus, “The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money.” By that we mean that we found ourselves in a world in which lack of sufficient demand had become the key economic problem, and in which narrow technocratic solutions, like cuts in the Federal Reserve’s interest rate target, were not adequate to that situation. To deal effectively with the crisis, we needed more activist government policies, in the form both of temporary spending to support employment and efforts to reduce the overhang of mortgage debt.

It ignores the long-term infrastructure deficit otherwise know as investment in our infrastructure. Given the skewed GOP perspective on cutting spending over recovering taxes and investing in the country, it is no wonder growth, which is not the answer*** alone anyway, is not faring well.

Note fuzzy, not to mention capitalized Bell and un-capitalized bell curve.(ouch)

WOE-Wae:

War on executives / War against evidence.

Romney charges Obama with "real war upon women".

Hides behind women against women.

CSM: Rosen: “What you have is Mitt Romney running around the country, saying, 'Well, you know, my wife tells me that what women really care about are economic issues, and when I listen to my wife, that’s what I’m hearing.' Guess what? His wife has actually never worked a day in her life. She’s never really dealt with the kinds of economic issues that a majority of the women in this country are facing, in terms of how do we feed our kids, how do we send them to school, and why do we worry about their future.”

CSM: "It's clear from the context that Rosen wasn't criticizing Ann Romney for staying home. She was criticizing the Romney campaign for presenting Ann Romney as an expert on the economic concerns of women, when Romney's own economic circumstances (including the fact that she was able to stay home with all five of her sons) are not those that most women have."

Or War Against Evidence:

I am not saying that the Republicans are waging a war on women or that Democrats are not saying it. I am saying there are two questions which I will not answer, who started the war and who started calling it a war? I am also saying that I have not found the evidence in the links attached here, and suggesting that there is a war no matter who calls it a war or who started calling it a war.

I have yet to find who started the claim that there is a war on women. I am not saying that I don't believe that Obama could have used the term*, I just haven't found it.**

* war on women, war against women, war for women...'s votes.

[Google of the Day? Is it an anomaly that Steve Benen on Rachel Maddow Blog is the second hit for the question. "When did..." re-framed as "Has President Obama said there is a war on women?" Third Frame: "Obama talks about war on women." Fourth fishing trip? No War on Women. WOW! ]
