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."

MSNBC: The Last Word?

CNN: Rosen Apologizes !!!!!

Republicans better clean up their act or get out of the kitchen.

The altruism of WAR.

Breitbart Lives!

Not exactly the Starting Point, but Soledad O'Brien "clashes" with Big Journalism** Editor-in-Chief over "critical race theory" and a with-held video.

It almost seems that CNN* is a wannabe FOX or MSNBC.

It is more than swift iron knee that FOX has any concern for material being with-held.

* not to single out or be overly critical of CNN or Soledad O'Brien, but they do seem to be competing for "fair and balanced" between the other two "news" networks. FOX is the veritable "you started it" network. The media was too liberal so they had to have a "fair and balanced" take on their reality. Making room for MSNBC as a counter force. CNN has the real challenge trying not to be either, but still news or journalism in a market environment.

Nor to stay the course.

He probably did change the face of journalism.

I am not sure how that works, but the above image*** was linked to the "face" link.

Yesterday, David Bender interviewed former Senator Alan Simpson, who really tore into Rick Santorum and the Stephenie Miller Show. I hope** that was not what put the "Journalist"* over the top. I regret putting any meaning into what were hopefully "natural causes", not that they are any better than the best intentions sometimes. His dreams or nightmares will live on.

[3-8-12 Update: It certainly was my first reaction that Breitbart died of Righteous Indignation, but not in so many words. I did not even know he wrote the book, that I know of. But it could have slipped through my safety net.]

"It's my turn"[!]

...is what came to mind as I saw Romney frame the race as a decision between the three winners of the last three contests. That's what Ron Paul(8:45) should say. Or maybe Herman Cain or Stephen Colbert should say it**. I am in the process of watching last night's debate on CNN and Rick Santorum (9:10)kicked off the debate with a thread that crosses another thought I had during the introductions, "We are a country of laws".* Actually Ron Paul had already started a few threads in his introduction, we are not nation builders. Romney(15:58) stands up to a Gingrich charge or rather a question on rhetoric and deals with it in legal terms. My original thought had to do with the irony of the conservative nature, but Gingrich is almost a false flag of rhetoric.

* quoting Santorum, not my thought or thread which I may have lost, but laws are the thread of building our nation

BTW- Not necessarily the missing thought: but in regards to Romney's financial reporting, does it bode well for his credit as a business leader, let alone maker of laws? I mean the mis-reporting, and his math regarding taxes and charitable contributions adding up at times to 40 to 45%?

[related irony (slash) update: what I thought was a churned media book event, may turn out to be good for the debate. What can we learn from Arizona? Will we take her up on it? Will the NAACP take Newt up on his charge? Just how do we demand paychecks*** over food stamps? Is it as easy as rhetoric?]

I have been lax in following the Republican debates, not that they were worth anything till recently. It may now be different with the caucus and primaries begun. Ron Paul may have fanciful economics but the golden rule is key to our differences.]

Wrong Track Romney

Mixed Metaphor Mangler Mitt *: Debt Picture 101

The Big Dig or Jig [?]

The Track? (not exactly ... [!])

* Facebook comment:  
     See Clip, Romney: "I'm here to collect." That sounds like an entitlement that is on the wrong track. The economy has turned around**, and that is not to say that it has been Obama's economy. How can Republicans complain about the budget operating on continuing resolutions while giving Obama the credit for the economy.
     Speaking of tracks, the government can not be operated like a business. Where is the profit? Not to mention the cost of some of the outrageous expectations that previous administrations have burdened the future with in the unfunded mandates, Terror/Afghan/Iraq war, and Bush tax cuts.

[who cares !  Some do. . . ]***

** misc. economic metrics

*** could not locate The Place for Politics that had a chart outlining what it takes in the primaries and caucuses for a Republican to win, not necessarily what determines who the nominee will actually be.  

[Facebook tangent.]

[Post Iowa Caucus it is a battle between Romney and Santorum @25%, with Ron Paul 21%, Newt Gingrich 13%, and Perry with 10%, not to mention Bachman 5%, and Huntsman 1%.  Note that Ron Paul gave a spirited "we are all Austrian", on to New Hampshire speech, while Newt had his "ticket punched".]

In defense of FOX News, a caller to the Stephanie Miller Show, claimed that there was absolutely no mention of President Obama on their home page. That is not correct. He is noted 4 times. And the video and transcript of his announcement about bin Laden are one of those, the second is a generic label for "In The News", the third an All-Star Panel on his emergency response, and the last an expose on "the one" letter difference between Obama and Osama. (Now Six*)

[Parting Shot?: Thom Hartmann has Gareth Porter on for some history. The point(Porter's) is that President Bush had no plan or intent to get bin Laden, not necessarily embedded in these links. My point is that Osama bin Laden could have been old news in 2001 but for the grace of Bush. If we had had different Pre-9-11 thinking, we could have had more justice and less tragedy and cost.]

Rep. Alan Grayson

If Glenn Beck could be elected, and make sense, he would be in Congress. Scratch that, it only takes one of these two, but I am on about the new Democratic congressman who fills both shoes. Strong progressive rhetoric that almost satirizes some of the radicals on the right, and adjusts the Republican parties prescription to some of their own medicine.
