Dog gone pizza guy.
I am actually dissappointed that Cain may be un-able to represent the libertarian and wacky right in a prospective general election debate. But who knows.
Meanwhile... beetlejuice, beatle juice, Norman Goldman...podcasting has gone MO(members only).
Speaking of Voodoo or whatever I do do, in rendering and raveling the above ramble I may have met my limit*.

The Big Dig
Ron Paul not so much.
Mitt Romney not so much.
Newt Gingrich, deeper.
Re-Group?
NOW, was that what I was talking about? Just teasing. Or "tough surrogate"?
Not having reviewed each of the links, nevertheless here are hints to my G'Ribble.
Under "Mitt Romney" there was a hint that the debate was "on a topic that he should dominate: the economy". Hence the "ledership" of The Big Dig? Investment in infrastructure anyone?
[Then there is the Laffer Curve of Regulation Job Growth. Which is my twist on not just the misuse of the curve, but the avoidance of* regulation. Regulation could be increasing jobs, if they were not avoiding the regulations.]
*the real laugher is in the "willing to report" and the needless "math genious".
[Coffee Party / Organizing Wall Street: De Calf anyone?]
Mitt Romney not so much.
Newt Gingrich, deeper.

Catch-44
President Obama seems to have doubled down on the culture war.
Politics is the pinnacle of the power play.
Physics, Psychology and Philosophy are the base.
Culture is the result and the field of play.
Economics, values and pragmatism the material.
The Irony Leviathan.*
[I have a hecuva lot in draft as well as embedded in previous posts that need sorting, and this may be a crack at that. And to un-Ribble it is in the social Darwinism and the yo gurt! If this is too fantastical, well just ask Raw Money, "Corporations are people too, my friend." See Leviathan, and intestinal Darwinism or rather the cultural state of progress.]
[Andrea Mitchell** and Ginzu Alice: Santorum and Romney slash the economy, with GM and the big dig but we need a big deal.]
** two segments Santorum spokesperson Alice, and reference to slashing the budgets in Michigan and Massachusett, under the light of federal projects.
***[Just caught this Thom Hartmann.]
[Common Ground the Enemy? Recent enlightenment on "The end justifies the means." At the moment I can't locate the link.*^^ But it might be Twain "The Prince"*^ and the Pauper. Martin Bashir segments enlighten, especially the Bane Or Change. Also on the Clint Eastwood Filmography, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, not to mention the Three Little Pigs. Not Bashir, that was elsewhere. Doom and Gloom Snobbery?]
*^ The Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, and the Constitution, not exactly ugly but three pigs in a blanket of rhetoric. Freedom is not a force, but the government is our creation.
*^^ Somewhere there may be embedded some links on the evolution of the 3 founding documents through the likes of Madison and George Washington.

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".]

Hard Work!
I will try to let you do it.
HELP! Score one for diplomacy! [**]
And re: cleaning it up... in my case it is not choice of words but other editing, so on that matter I am disappointed with the events * (the departure of Randi Rhodes on her terms?) that have transpired at AAR. [04-14-08 Welcome Home Randi!]
* this live link may change (AAR statement) and I only have this (CC),-(considated comment)-:
AAR and Randi Rhodes will survive and I reserve the right to question their motives without defending their methods. If that is hypocrisy, we should dig both deeper and across the aisle and in the mirror. But as far as word what is the difference between warmonger and fearmonger or whoremonger? see JAG or V4?
[**] FEATURED ARTICLE:
and please get to it and work it above all other links here.
HERE is what I attempted to add to the dialogue:
TO CONGRESS:
I was going to send this just based on my previous trust of this group...
But I did review it briefly and want to highlight the following:
See 4Ai & 4Aii
I would also like to add: China and the Sudan and the economy play into this big time, as far as what needs to be on the table. If corporations are people they must be held accountable as people or people must have freedoms from them or somehow have nations put in their place for how they treat them.
If this does not register with you, then it is probably just about the bucks. Passing them and you will see where they go and where the people end up.

The Straw Bear
If a Republican runs in the woods and can’t see the forest for the trees and the Republican falls, does anyone hear what the bear does in the woods?
A little riddle on the straw bear of propaganda.
Ah, the power of myth.
Maybe this is a mother goose chase but those were the days. Speak softly and carry a big stick. Speaking of Teddy Bear, did you know that Wilson made Pershing the first general since the Civil War? The Palin Romney romp through the woods with a bear is quite humorous. It reminds me of, if a tree falls and what a bear does and if anyone will see the forest for what we hear* fall.
The point is that the use of "some people" makes faulty facts bearable. I do not think there is any information that the U.S. was anywhere near losing its dominance in military spending or economic might. In fact I believe that it was over twice the combined spending of the China and the former Soviet Union at the time it fell. In fact it was them coming to an economic grip with reality that did them in. So now China is a different bear and we need no bull in our cabinets.
So war is a straw bear argument. That just means that you have to keep fighting it; the fear mongering and comedy that goes back to our nations birth. Heck beyond, I will say probably cave paintings. But it is no laughing matter that even if the current 6 to 1 ratio has the profit factored out, we could be in trouble.
* the tree is yet to fall on Countdown re: Congressman Cantor listening tour denial
[5-7-09: I did not hear this coming. Nor see "the tree" fall. At least not in real time.][Not to mention lost in the forest I am trying to dig up a Romney reference to us and them(found 6-3-09), the revolutionists versus the royalists which is more flip-flop.]

Case Study
Headlines under question(marks)!
Some filter so other don't have to?
Please read, as I haven't yet.
CAUTION: Sarcasm warning! Or as "some people" might say "nuance"? Or was that missed metaphors* or hypocrisy or as I noted "equivalence"** as a challenge in this revolving rhetorical not revolutionary world?
* more likely sloppy punctuation, or logic and grammar?
SUBSET OF CAUTION: I make no equivalence, Google found these Trivium, and the punc is likely too heavy metal or irony?
** just posted "saved in draft"
[There are deeper and lighter case studies, but they are under investigation if not pending prosecution.]
[No Teaser but Prophetic? But dig that Newsweek "V" of triumvirates, the deck of emergence is at least missing the "mark"(?) as in Rand(y) Childish Partiers. I used to be overly sceptical(and ahead of the curve) in the area of Mainstream Media, especially more so in print(I won't mention the big 3) but their first initials are N,T & U or is it nuts? But they are just playing to the market yet the fair-E tale is always in the making. All on deck, even if you have a couple(decks) or are missing a few cards, they just might be only the jokers.]

Happy Earth Day!
The earth celebrates the 38th Earth Day. As a youth participant of the very first Earth Day 1970, I was out there in front of a local shopping center at a table as part of a class project, educating the public about various aspects of the environment. I was also excited to have been in attendance at a speech by R. Buckminster Fuller.
Today I heard that one of the original co-chairs of that event has finally seen the light and registered as a Democrat. Unfortunately as I am posting this just under the wire, I can not dig up his name. That's my excuse, but I don't know why it is not on the link above.
Also today I would like to note the upcoming 25th anniversary of Newsweek On Air. Today's show was particularly good in contrast to (well it may not be fair to contrast such a weekly collaboration with something else) but the recent "firestorm" of events came to mind.
Lastly I would like to note contrasting links: HorsesAss.org The only local "liberal" talk radio, and Sightline.org a "progressive" think tank. Well, balancing links may be a more proper way of putting them, and the liberal "quotation marks" are his, the "progressive" marks are mine, as just a short hand reference to my original intent to contrast or balance ala The Liaison Report's intent as well.
I hope to get back to improve this post, but may be continuing my sabbatical,it went so well last time...* (April 3rd to April 10th) April 5th was an exception to the ruler.
* [Saved April 3rd, 2007 - not used till post-April 11th.]
To whom it may concern- - The FCC or applicable congressional committee
Regarding a seemingly meaningless spat between Rosie O’Donnell and Bill O’Reilly:

Regarding a seemingly meaningless spat between Rosie O’Donnell and Bill O’Reilly:
Bill O’Reilly is of the opinion that she should not be free to give her opinions as a "broadcast professional" and I think that it falls into your auspices to determine that. It seems to me that the term either applies to the broadcasting engineers or the terms of an FCC licensee. If there are any standards, as I would have them, Bill O’Reilly and Fox News should lose their licenses. This is no joking matter. While the O'Donnell and The Donald spat may be about ratings and while Rosie may choose to not renew her contract and let the market determine she has an even greater value, again it is hard to stomach the excuses for the airtime wasted by O’Reilly or Fox News if there are any standards. Further, no joking matter, while Rosie’s opinions may be fringe, and O’Reilly truly unreliable, if there is any such ruling that could shut down Rosie and not O‘Reilly, she has demonstrated that she knows what she is talking about in her claim that he is worse than a character from 1984, and that there is a "big brother".
