The New Compendium

NOT!
Really...probably not.
But it sounds like an epoch
and not quite an anthology,
but hopefully not an achronism.

THE POINT?
A cover page of sorts.
Yeah that's the ticket!
...the dynamics of progress,

Six Things Everybody Knows About Deficits ...
That Are Completely Untrue
Which I rephrase as truths:

1.) Current and future spending are not the problem with the defecit, except for paying for our history.
2.) Social Security is not a big deal to fix(separately), but could be impacted by the budget and other decisions.
3.) Austerity and investment are different stories, that both have an impact on the budget and winning the future as well as the now.
4.) Concessions should not be trickle down but incentives should be target up.
5.) Wall Street is not fixed enough to be that big or permanent a part of the solution.
6.) Social Security is not on the same budget table as Medicare and Medicaid and calling them "entitlements" is misleading, and means testing or tax changes could address their impact on our economy.

Maybe you had to be there.
The Bill Thing.
The Frackin' Thing.
The Club of Construction.[ B ]
The King Tut of Rhetoric
Not to mention Divagation.

BTW: Going Egypt depends on who you ask, and I am not asking Stephen or Steve King***. And Going Wisconsin should not mean Going Cheesehead*. But I will tie this up with a preamble. If I may paraphrase and extend the remarks of a caller to the Norman Goldman Show: If you are not for "a more perfect Union" you may be Un-American. If you are not willing "to promote the General Welfare" you may be militant against "the Blessings of Liberty", but one can take words (and rhetoric or puns) too far. I suggest the word militant not be used, and that nowwhere near the tactics be used in political protests** but just who expects whom to turn the other cheek? There seems to be a slippery slope in the free speech zone.

* my original intent was a pun on Ed Head, which is not a Soft Head, but then there may be a lede to leader in the eventual link.[I believe it was a caller to the Ed Schultz Show that lead me to independently think that the failure of unions in Wisconsin would put a whole new spin on the name Cheeseheads.]

** the right to protest and any intent to break the law, includes the right to be arrested but not beaten, though we should understand that resistence is not futile but few put up with it well

*** see previous clause "divagation" link and prior line "Tut" for the two Kings.

Note preemptive nature of links, as not all are read fully nor sometimes more than scrolled over.

In that vein, here is another mid-read comment--
--
The Prophet Margin* or "Decartes Bones"(not 2 mention) quote:(p.XIX)

Most people seem to be caught between these tidal currents--the pull to faith and tradition in a dangerous world, the argument that religion is at the core of the world's problems and only a revived commitment to individual freedoms and rights will steer humanity into a better future.

Colin Slee said about England:"You have a triangle with fundamentalist secularists in one corner, fundamentalist faith people in another, and then the intelligent, thinking liberals of Anglicanism, Roman Catholicism, baptism and methodism, other faiths--and, indeed, thinking atheists--in the other corner."

* my characterization although I do not necessarily appreciate the characterizations that follow, but it is the Ge Oh Me Try, not to mention who is at the table.

** link lost in editing(still looking) maybe found.
[along the same line, the first link is too embedded in comment on journalism and comment, while the last link on "freedoms"(edit to possessive)is embedded with preemptive history and irony
(ex. Alexander Hamilton against the Bill of Rights, yet for a National Bank.)]
[Journalism link now replaced and here is an un-embedded link from it.]

Speaking of Relief:or spin zones or characterizations. 'nO'Really!

[Said Review: Post an achronism. (Relative to perspectivism)]

Black History Month

Who am I to comment, but I will note my stochastic nature*, by way of noting my delay.

My point? I have not noted Black History month in the past, and I will make no excuse for it, and I don't know why I am a day late anyway, but did craft this in a more purposeful, if not direct way. And found some interesting stuff, with a little more intent, filtering and sorting than usual.

[Not that my point is the one bold line, but the 4thletter fit my Ge Oh Me Try.]

*note: the term "Black Swan***" is derived from an unfortunated cultural context of a less than Platonic world view; the all or nothing spectrum** of good and evil and terms of use, let alone labels and characterizations.

** for some I note the irony
*** and for others the Swan is about the shape not the Ugly Duckling.

Peripatetic Justice and Ledership let alone
an achronism ?

This is a ramble on the Wave, aka the 4th Estate as well as a hint for a Ribble. No pun on Reliable Sources but I could have more reliable spelling but not an achronism.

I won't mess with the mutliple bottom lines* but it is about change and finding a silver lining. Changing my procedures will be job one, but as for this content note the bold italics. This is a preemptive note, before I take the time to more fully process the SOTU.

[Woof! Ratings are now in for the SOTU, and here are two ecumenical references. Rachel Maddow, a "prayer for the free-market" from as Joe Scarborough put it "the Cardinal". Who let the CEO's out! Speaking of "genre" note the connection to CNN.]
