No apologies (*) to Mike Malloy, nor insult to Contrary Brin*, but maybe the mechanics(or dimanics) of the parallel points. Akin to Newton’s orbit(**). i.e. 3-body problem. And even deeper Hegelian remarks to Terral, in regard to not getting there yet.  i.e. accidental reference under Post-Doc Terral nature of the point. Parallels do not tangent.

Time is a funny thing.  The fourth dimension?  What about perpendicular to the 3?  But then there is the parallel of not having time to follow every tangent let alone parallels.

Making New Rounds

And Rounding A Corner?

Day before yesteray I heard* that Tom Tommorrow was moving yesterday to a new site. And I missed this yesterday but maybe tomorrow, and the day before** I just got here and had linked to where Tomorrow left. For now I will just save this in draft. And somewhere a line was crossed in other threads. And I don't know why I woke up with Numbscull and Bones in my head.

* remembering it was April Fools, Nicole Sandler was standing in for Randi Rhodes and had a troop of comics in.

Happy April Fools!
I am killing two birds with one stone and irony of political correctness, let Hawks and Doves fly. And I won't even get into the Missio'gander*, but there I go again.
We do need an education but I am really paying tribute to Ed Schultz. Apparently it is two years ago today that he got his/our show.

* Ok a crack at the goose and the Cheeseheads and staying the course.

"a royal huff"

"Our Addiction to Fake Outrage": Could it be self-righteousness or open markets?* Information should be free flowing but...needs a filter not a Drudge. That is the dilemma: who?

Certainly not trickle down; talk about "bucket shops".

Progressive Strategies: Social Darwinism? Forgetting nature and God.

People forget to credit their environment, and take for granted what they got and expect others in different environments to do as well and take the blame for theirs. Shoe is on the other foot, or foot in mouth, shoot it. Grass is greener, blah, blah, blah, dot, dot, dot,** etc.

* the nature of information is that what shocks, gets attention (and awe), and feeds the market, rather than information that puts things together which is more complicated, much like the difference between war and nation building. On top of that to expect government not to have harder work to create laws and execute them(laws not people) and then the difficulty of the fourth branch has certainly not evolved in a straight line.

Countdown by Keith Olbermann
The Rachel Maddow Show
The Ed Schultz Show
The Thom Hartmann Show

Northwest Progressive Institute

Funny how I have had an email exchange similar to the NWPI post which produced some of my last few comments. Of which I have yet to finish, either in reading or imagining.

[Speaking of Pre-Emption and Cos' and Effect I was tickled by the honor Bill Cosby indicated by appearing on Rachel Maddow.]

I'm sorry?

Did I hear that right? I will have to dig up a link later, but this is about the denial that Bush is still in, and the qualification Wells Fargo (CEO or someone) made, about the bail out not going for executive salaries. It is unfair for me to begin this blast without further digging, but just the surface sod is soaked with effluence. So I will sort some key words from the Bush: "capitalism" in conjunction/contrast to "free market".

With Wells Fargo it is a matter of bookkeeping and an earlier flip-flop it seems, on the matter of what the bailout is going for... are we rescuing failing institutions or helping those that are efficient? In this case I have rather unparsed and taken a tangent from the trickle-down of the bonus problem, but there is a righteous problem about the housing bubble and fundamentals.

Maybe a graphic form will help:
Capitalism - - Free Market
Bonuses - - Book Keeping
Rescue - - Help
Bubble - - Fundamentals
Meaning, Myth, Model, Metaphor; may be my mantra,
but there is a cycle that needs work.

And to my estimation (tergiversate[**] or not) the housing bubble is a result of a fundamental flaw in economics. It works for those that buy it. But it really matters what the it is. Not to mention who sells it.

Not to mention the media again: WWWWWH? I might return to give more particular sources, but for now I leave with the answer: who, what, when, where, why, and how? as well as note the only labels at this time are Progressive Media and Thom Hartmann, and if I return I will [bracket][*$*]changes.[*]

[* as soon as I finished this and bracketed that, I thought, and must note that I have now made minor edits (& bold) for clarity sake, unbracketed.]

[** I wonder if I am a De-tergiversator ***?]

[*** I had to go old school and open a book, the answer is; not if it is (the latter) to change one's opinion, but may be others, not the De. Yeah, the De and the Un.]

Speaking of Makeup

Rachel Maddow has the right stuff*...
for MSNBC.

As Olbermann's audience grew to rival, though not quite equal, that of longtime ratings king Bill O'Reilly, MSNBC gained an unwanted reputation as an emergent liberal version of Fox News--a view that became more prevalent after Maddow's show was announced.

Not exactly "Fair and Balanced".

Meanwhile Republican and former Congressman Joe Scarborough has a three-hour program every morning--more airtime than Maddow and Olbermann have combined. While MSNBC is experimenting with a block of liberal programming, as a network that shares offices with NBC News, it can't afford to be seen as having an ideological bias. The network recently bowed to conservative critics by moving Matthews and Olbermann, both seen as sympathetic to Barack Obama, out of the anchor chairs for live political events.

The only reason MSNBC should have resisted "conservative critics" is if they wanted to be the perfect counter-balance to FOX NEWS. If only they could find anchors without opinions or curiosity or personality, it might be a reasonable excuse. But I find it part of the "vast Right-wing conspiracy" of "do as I say, not as I do". Or part of their whiner nature, could it be "The squeaky wheel gets the oil"? No wonder the Straight Talk Express seems to have a rattle and need a pacifier.**


*intelligence + temperment

** double what?

[Update: I want to caution against too much ridicule of the way Governor Palin relates to foreign policy and economic issues. She is does a pretty good job of spinning up the trickle down. Meaning she is describing them in ways that obscure under sensible principles policies that will not achieve them. In other words she does a brilliant job of defending policies which are indefensible, yet fits the old pattern of what they think will work. But then I could just be too easy on her, or sexist, in an affirmative action sort of way.]

High Road or Low Road?

and then there is the Bridge to Nowhere.
Family matters! But country first?
Enough! I will have to look back to see if I am off track.
The Family Values Party seems to have vetted family as an issue.
But have they vetted freedom? Freedom of information? Not to mention freedom of speech? The media plays a huge part in this, but which side are they on?
Does freedom have a side? Does information?

Of course these are just threads. That does not make them just.
But it does not mean they don't need to be followed a bit more.
Backgrounds matter. Or do they?

"Maverick" was a TV show and McCain admits being addicted to "24" * unless someone was joshing. "24" is the modern version of "Mission Impossible". A fantasy based too closely on reality. I have not followed Jack Bauer for some time, but just which Maverick is McCain. The gambler or the ladies man?

Both McCain and Palin have the far right lifting their spirits with their own bootstraps. Will the media vet the facts? Or does vet mean, being vetted of facts.

Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission?
Palin Chair?

[BTW: "Happy Labor Day" but is the pregnant pause that the GOP are taking at their convention really about contributing? They really have contributed to the need for contributions being the theme. Now that is the mother of all ironies as well as subtleties.]

Great Segue!

After Day 3 of the Democratic National Convention,
my first comments are:
So far, so good!
"No way! No how! No McCain!" Now that is a flip-flop.

Seriously...
From "Faint Praise/Criticism" to Progressive Narratives.
Not to mention pragmatism...

but I would like to note belated congratulations
to Rachel Maddow (nfry*) on getting her new show on MSNBC. Rachel refers to herself as a liberal not a partisan. Righteously so.[*] It is really hard to criticize Rachel, but she is the perfect flip-flop of Pat Buchanan. He is sometimes valid in his criticism of Republicans and praise or suggestions for Democrats, only the better to eat you my dear. Said the wolf to Little Red Riding Hood. While Rachel may be the same for Democrats, only the better for the country.** (Embedded in these asterisks are references to their work. Earlier encounters with Howard Kurtz, long time agitation by Pat Buchanan and recent enthusiasm tempered with caution for Rachel. Let me just say that her liberal enthusiasm and hopes may be cast as negative shadows on the pragmatism needed for progress.*** But criticism of Democrats and our process, taken in the right light, can be good for all.)

*The segue is filled with the likes of Howard Kurtz, and Patrick Buchanan.
** not a perfect flip-flop, the Democrats not the country.
*** it might have helped, yet it might not have, to remember the particular comment that I had a problem with, but it was only a comment on the progress of the convention or one of the speakers that caused me to wonder about her perspective as she makes progress. Had it changed or is it what got her where she is?

[A regressive update, meaning only a thought that I had when Biden was announced: That he should well vet humor and plagiarism. Now that is a well contained line. Of attack, for us, and by us, not necessarily of us. And depending upon McCain's VP a wonder of the Republican vetting process.]
