Soul Dad?

It was after making this unfortunate lede* that the news of Don Cornelius's passing reached my screen. Speaking of R-E-S-P-E-C-T, no disrespect to Soledad O'Brien, but to say it is inconvenient timing, makes it sound like there could be any better. A loss of this kind is sad, but did it have to happen this month?

Martin Luther King Jr. Day

For the first time his memorial will be open on his day.
Today I am refraining from ledership or word play.

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.]

Sad Passing of Sen. Scott White

This was difficult ledership, in wording the heading of this post. Friday night there was the shocking news of the death of Washington State Senator Scott White. He was a long time colleague from the King County Democratic Central Committee. I believe he was there when I returned to district politics, in reaction to the impeachment of Bill Clinton. In 2008 we were proud of his success for winning a seat as a Representative in the State legislature, followed in 2010 by a successful Senate race. But more admirable was the job he did and the way he related to us all. He will be missed, not just as one of us, but as an impact player in the state.

I'm a PC.

Not to be PC,
but a Jobs loss is everybody's loss.

Not to compare apples and oranges,
but to be Buddhist and Billionaire?
Not to pun completely or cherry pick,
I mean pop culture.




[I guess it is in reaction to someone* who used the death of Steve Jobs to demean those who occupy wallstreet, I take a different path. Not to give a RIP in vain.]

* that someone is not linked on this post, but they used the Slate link under "pop culture".

Awkword!

Of course I mean awkward...starting out the post with the lede I did and then editing it as I did. But nothing compared to the prepared response Sarah Palin has. Not to play victim, it is my intent to use less words, but who am I to think more words are any better? Now that might be rhetorical and not dialectic. i.e. I am not yet commenting on Obama's memorial speech.

Comparing an Error

And/or Era?

Baby Killer vs. the Great Society
The Texas Republican who shouted "baby killer" apologized as he was not speaking of Representative Stupak, just the bill. While the New York Times corrects Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman, for saying Newt Gingrich was speaking about President Johnson and the Civil Rights Act, when he was speaking of the Great Society.

Minor corrections in both cases, but both seem to compound the point. As the blanks were needed filling, the former is still is for shame and the latter still for irony of whose Waterloo. On the darker side of irony there was the gauntlett congress bravely faced[*]to do their job, while the previous administration protected their leader from the signs of the times.

Moments before the historic signing moments I hear: Maybe the Republicans peaked too soon?

Remembering September 11th, 2001

It is not that I did not remember, but I chose to go about my day and just remember the victims. It should not be a time to take personal or political gain by honoring anything but the loss. It should not take a tragedy for us to care about others. Or remembering it to have a day of service.

I do remember the President saying(something of the sort) that terrorists win if we change,
and the Mayor of New York(at the time) being glad or thanking God, Bush was president.

(This was held in abeyance and only slightly adjusted(9-15-09) for flow and link added.)

"Are you who I think you are?"

That is the question I posed to Senator Ted Kennedy around twenty years ago. He had just walked into my lobby and asked to be called a cab. I called him a cab. I then had the chance to express the honor it was to meet him and/or thank him for his and/or his families service, as well as get his autograph.*

Nowadays the same question is apropos. Rachel Maddow discusses the Revisionist History that Republicans are creating and Keith Olbermann covered it just preceding the Senator's passing.

*links and italics clarification (here and there) provided 8-28-09

(8-28-09: See comment and latest McCain There is no compromise on an option. By definition. No option, is surrender not compromise. That is not what Senator Kennedy should be remembered for. Sorry, the link was worth repeating. That is not what should define a legacy. )
