I know it is inarticulate, but I like his style.  He does his own warm up act, but less than 3 minutes in he frames the future as "China working with us" or "something like Europe"...

The Trouble with the Mitt:
His 47% rant is political.  
His MC hammer is off. 
Not to pun on the MC but his nail is the 96%!

There is the trouble with his charts,


trouble with his "entitles"



and trouble both domestic















 and foreign.

I may be forgetting something but I shall probably return.

Actually these are not the most current** or accurate links. I believe it was Halloween when the question arose. Just who are these guys trying to be? Or not to be [!] Nor Hamlet, nie* 2016.
Actually, that is one point. For Republicans it is all about 2016. Not that what happens in 2011 stays in 2011[!] But the question I beg, is who are the flavors of the month trying be? Romney is the supposed shoe in. Cain and Perry seem to be going for broke***.

No Frackin' Way

Nuclear power is one thing*, but Frackin' with our water?

* not green(except for trickle up)
[What the frack is the connection to Newt Gingrich, well the paradox of green and being able to be a paradox period. His frackin' campaign seems to be burning the candle on both ends. But this is too complex for me to explain, except for the idea that he commits to Lean Six Sigma,*** but not to the concepts his staff thinks it will take to win. Is this a bringing it to the table moment ala the silver lining of the churned media cloud? It is bad enough that Republicans have enough money to run their lies in ads and Faux News, but they have enough to add cloud to the process.]
[Not to** mention lame stream media.]

** way
*** last frackin' link

[Post comments footnote(see my two comments): There is nothing wrong with Six Sigma as a tool, but it may be besides the point, but not aside from the point of whose hands it is in, and for what purpose it is wielded(people or profit). In fact, I believe that "Lean Six Sigma" violates "Six Sigma" principles by having a target of 25% spending reduction, which demonstrates my point on purposes and whose hands should wield it for what. Aside from the point: what the frack is the point of government?]

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.

Farewell Guv, Hello Energy Welfare Queen

I may have more to say about Cap and Trade but Palin's Cap and Tax hit needs only a check of her accounting.

Maybe I won't, but I will be back on sabbatical. Meanwhile I leave with this segment of an email exchange:(slightly adapted)
I should have been reading this but maybe not.
I think I will agree with much of it, but I think my last email covered the change problem. But don't worry. I do not think that capitalism will be destroyed, and socialism is just a boogie cognomen. Just how do you think it would work if we could find anyone that could fix the economy who had not been a part of creating it? I don't know if Obama has the right people but others could be standing in the way of potentially right or left people. I mean if the complaint as O'Reilly put it is that somebody will make billions, well duh. Doesn't that support the system? Well not the system, but as most conservatives argue for it.

Off to Argentina?

No. But Happy Fourth of July and family matters, I will be taking a sabbatical.*
Period.

"a new clean energy economy"

President Obama June 29th.

Cap and Trade?

[American Clean Energy and Security Act: Waxman/Markey Bill [** correction below]
Energy Bill narrowly passes House.(Carol Browner: White House Energy Advisor)
The Progress Report at Think Progress.

It seems that if the criticisms this energy plan, as well as that of the public component(The Ed Show) of health care reform have any merit, it will mean that there is no invisible hand of the market. If the competition that a not-for-profit health care option provides will do in the insurance industry, and if a market solution to incentivize pollution reduction is not feasible, then the market might not be the arena that solutions can be found. Maybe the solution would then be found in demand side economics. And given the compromises that comprise the effort to be non-partisan[*], further amendments should be well considered as to not weaken the progress or threaten failure, as further pressure for change might result.
