Spare the jargonaut: actually I am sparing the footnote page or rather (fn) and bibliotechnogarble**.[^]

Bottomline, I am being relatively brief in this briefing which reminds me to add label Media Matters, which is the prime source from which I cut-and-paste the "headline". Also adding Share 'n Angle, GPS, and Objectivism. BooYah!

** I will note that I have added new labels: Susan Rice, UN Ambassador, and National Security. It may be hard to believe I have not already use the last one but it is so broad a category, somewhat akin to Intelligence another non label***. ALSO NOTE: anacronistic insertions or embed links @* as in scroll over each and find b.s.(blogsearch) and flip-flop as I have sourced these.
(fn)TBA ^
*** OK, I was wrong.  I had used the "Intelligence" label and so I will^ now.

^ alternate anachronistic asterisk: "Ineffable" cuts both ways, Re:(fn) "jargonauts" and TBA's.[^]
[editors note: I did edit the placement of bracketeds(deleted forboldin') and asterisks.]

FYI: "lede" = journalistic term AND  ship? = the boat we are all in.

Or has he always been so sharp?

(I know percentage does not equal vote but I am employing mythmatic.  Chances of Romney win in Ohio below 4%. Yet to compare maps or 538.)   

[Bottomline:  It is not the prophets or Simon says corporate capitalizers, but it may be the Peter Paul and Mary principle.  No, just the Peter principle and robbing Paul to pay Peter.  A bird in the hand is worth not having two bushes or an etch-a-sketch Bush is more dangerous when they think they will do one^ better.] 

^ not to (fn) butt... 

Democracy Upheld! (5-4) (R/x)**

Not to spike the ball. 
Mandate will become a tax!

Well... that was my idea or interpretation of the bill, but that was FOX News' claim.
But my original ball that might have been a spike was "Democrats Upheld" but Obamacare or the Affordable Care Act, is a bi-partisan bill, so I cannot claim a victory for Democrats.  It is a victory for congress and the political progress.  It is a victory for Obama and bi-partisanship.  Not that victory is a Burger King*, or having it my way.  I should admit that recently I thought that part of the ruling would be kicking the can down the road, since some of the provisions don't go into effect till 2014. 
Oops, in plain English, I may have been right about the can.
Senator Dan Coates on Jansing&Co. claimed lack of bi-partisanship.  That claim is a victory for politics and bi-partisanship.  The ACA was passed under reconciliation.  It was not a Democratic bill, but a democratic bill.  If the President can be blamed(see choice/bold-underlined) for congress not getting things done, when the Republicans obstruct with filibusters.  Republicans cannot have all the changes they could get and not take credit for them by voting against the bill to claim partisanship by not being able to filibuster. 
If anything this is a vaccine to the insanity of the partisan Issa Committee which doctor for the NRA. 
Pump it up! Obama Cares !  Chris Matthews has a very interesting Stupid Conspiracy.  On the other hand, I thought that the obvious was missing in the court arguments.  I think that means that it was plain that a loss of tax break is not a penalty, or is it the semantics of taxes.

* whose weigh or beef?
** still looking for the bullet ratio aka up 'n over or held/turned [People/$]
[of and for the people, over money]
[The real in'f-fable might be taxes/commerce. The High Five ?  4GETIT?
It is a win for Politics, Bi-Partisanship, Obama, and the Economy!  But according to Raw Money?  "A Choice"... between Government standing between you and big corporations or big corporations standing between you and your health care.(Bold over underlined ? )]
Not to strike a punchline, but bottomline:  Obama is Bush! A Political Capitalist!
Romney is Kerry!  A nuanced flip-flopper.  But only in the light of...(the president speaks)***

[Hi5-4th'tableCongressISjobWON!]
[Congress is open to a peel!]

[I don't have the rest of the story to back this up, but I think that Norman Goldman analyzes NFIB v. SSHHS the way I have.  Not only that but Justice Thomas or the D$ent may have bust the fallacy that health care is commerce.  Not only that but I think that Justice Roberts figured out how it can work or not work depending on congress, as I think that congress could have if they had more cooperation rather than partisanship.  NorMan really cut through it with a caller, regarding small business and Mitt RobbedMe.  How do you know when Mitt is telling a lie?  He is either talking about Obama or economics, if not both at the same time. Just between me and we, it seems that without fully reading the Affordable Care Act or the full decision, the Supreme Court seems to have understood it better than it was argued, but not much more than I thought it was.  The catch is that we are patching together various interpretations that make a decision that still takes some tweaking by congress.  It puts taxes and states at the table.  The catch seems to hinge on the powers of congress and the definition of commerce.  As Chris Matthews was want to call it a Stupid Conspiracy, I may lean toward calling it a Swift Strategy, despite the games some play with acronyms, initialism or caricatures.]

Smirking Gun[!]

OK, I won't overuse the term smoking gun, but when I heard Senator McCain's leak theory, I knew something was up.  "The only conceivable" reason that McCain knows the "motive for such damaging and compromising leaks" is that it is something he could conceive of doing.  The Issa cover-up committee is along the same track.  Worse than Watergate, less than WMD***.

September 11th occurred because the Bush administration had contempt for the Clinton administration and refused to carry on in the case against terrorism.  Fast and Furious is still under investigation, but it seems that the political case is of the opposite extreme.  The Obama administration not changing more from the previous administration.

I have a feeling that the Issa Committee investigation is actually an attempt to interfere with the Obama administration* of justice and foreign policy.  Or retribution for Watergate, Iran Contra and Plame combined, or Republican power** as usual.
 
* Ctrl F "obstructionism"
** now that is the ticket or subpoena(Thom Hartmann)

*** 6-22-12 Pre-Post-or-us?
(I was reticent to use 9/11, especially with the smoking[!] gun lede-in. While Representative Mica is really stretching things, two things are certain. September 11th or even a dead ATF agent are nothing to smirk about, and Representative Issa hides his smirk with a snear.)

[GPS for MSNBC labels?]

[!] really sic, i.e. no typo, nor disrespect for the departed intended
[A caller to the Ed Schultz show noted a similar theme.  Republicans are more about obstruction politics than finding the facts.  They must have something to hide.  Obama's success and their incompetence.  But then there followed**2 on Thom Hartmann the PE/FDR/BS [!]]

[It is on !]
[A friend asked my opinion on the wikileaks deal. Well more specifically the personalities involved.  Bottomline, I don't feel that military personel should take it on themselve to leak top secret information without considering the consequences, nor should they have been distributed without the same considerations.  Unfortunately there may not be enough law on the books to prosecute the latter although there certainly is for the former.  Who do we have to blame for the laws on the books?  Congress.  Who do we have for not enough laws on the books?  Republicans.  Well, it is not the quantity but the quality.  But the answer is the same.  Talk is cheap, but actions*2 cost.]

Academic Freedom

Not the best heading**, let alone lede.

But not to be preemptive, I am being rough*drafty.

BTW: I don't know if I should have a disclaimer as I have "liked" Noam Chomsky on Facebook.*** Now should I wonder if he needs a disclaimer from this being on a youtube page he is featured on.

But I will note that I have only viewed about 30 seconds but find the heading provocative. And I will pull some words from a thread I contributed to recently: We can not pick the personalities of the sources(or the sources) that might influence our thinking. That does not mean that educated people can't have bad ideas, or that less educated people may not have better ideas. Nor that some people don't have a mix of good and bad ideas and that others may not be suited for choosing from them.

In the mean time(pun), that thread extended.

* I hope to find a more colorful and humorous link in my BS(blog search)

** see "extended" reference: not a bad heading (round and round)

*** not to pin the tale on this dawn key ode (Ouch those frackin' wind mills)

[Bottomline, not to ode on economics or hummin' resources. BTW2.0: I have two "disclaimers" considered above, one in relation to Facebook and Chomsky in regard to the "pulled" words (in grey high lite) and the other in regard to the "this" on YouTube, which I only previewed a bit. I do not claim it a fluke as that is probably the nature of the technology in another A word regarding math and search engines. Dont' trouble yourself to the fluke as it is just another "A" word.]

Try Angle

Here are a few pieces that intersect.
Re-Rights,
Checks,
And Balances. [^^^]

How? Well, we have the Judiary, Congress, and the Executive perspectives.
The bottom line is account ability. Yes, that is two words under three branches.
We have the accounting of Bush v. Gore, trickle down, and the slippery slope. Juctices can't count, economics does, and they all matter. I will try not fall into the trap of the previous post with technical difficulties arising from the burden of
tangents and links, or whatever the problem*** is, but it is a matter of looking back** at where we were and how we got there, with Bush the Decider, the current economic climate of understanding Trickle-Down and Slippery-Slopes, and the Executive we are lucky to have in the face of mythical* obstructionism and obfuscation. In fact, again I have only read the first and glanced a bit at the others but they are almost a protractor or other instrument of our graphic nature and the geometry of purpose that some have. i.e. It was not my original intent but maybe there is some intelligent design, in that it is about Re-Writing our social architecture. Re-writing checks and balances, economics is the bottomline and whether there is Bane or Change, and I don't mean Bain or Boehner.

* mythical: as in monstrously huge if not fantastical.
** well they did arise so there! I mean here:
and see Lord of markets,
and values politics. Economics is not without politics and values.***

*** "convenient" link see placement(^) of asterisk "the problem" re: positive/normative "dispute" or die-manics of dynamics.

(^) (more ttdl: footnote search own comment(^^) re: economics being engineering. ...?)

(^^) [3-13-12 update: my ttdl(temp tech difficulty linking) is now corrected, also found my comments on economics being a field of social engineering. Featured caricature? Herbert Spencer. ALSO RE : Politics ]

[ Unrelated: if war were not related to economics.(NFRY) Also too bad.]

[^^^ Tag tomorrow : From the original Try Angle we have the 3 branches as we navigate the world of economics and power relations.]

Ideology

The perspective one has of society's creation and one's role in it.***

Not* Exactly[!]

[Ideology and Iowa are a lot like the eye of the needle or camel.(no pun)]

[Perspective: to be processed later more or less...[!]
Speaking of ant or fable TV. Democrats cannot afford to have distractions or liars, just because "the Right" does it. Speaking of irrelative**: ant:Anthony, Ed:Rush,(or Beck Or Reck) Whiner:BaneOr, silver lining:golden rule, objective/subjective ]

* iOWa, iRreleFont? Rachel Maddow discusses the "small i" people. But then, eye had not seen her comments.

** something about relative in regards to the differences in ideologies and personalities on spectrum ofor loopiness on the left or right.

***[Media(sources) a side: wMD: I may go on or take hiatus but the bottomline is the top line is mine. i.e. I have only begun the Mike Cormack book, and I am not quoting it. Ibid this bracket.(Thanks to truthout.org for this last crack, not the book]

[!]Hi Ate Us, interesting Try Angle or Segue(way)[]. Or Tr(eye)i Pod?
A.B.C.D...

Administration: FOX Dunn

Just a google: Not Exactly*
FOX Hunt. Not Exactly?

It seems that FOX was not excluded, but that the administration made an offer that was not to the White House press pool. Which calls into question the second link and what justifies the pool?

* Pool reports.(Now that's what I am talking about: not exactly.)

[UPDATE 10-28-09 Fair and Balanced attack. If the balance of unfairness is on FOX, it would be unbalanced to give equal shots at other networks. On the other hand MSNBC host is maybe trying out for the other network. Not so random...link**...here. ]

** Rand um? The Right might want to check out what the definition of "was" is. (C3 4 Anachronistic)(not to mention Apropos WMD)

[Now this is fair and balanced: ironically]
[Now that is "Fair and Balanced". NOT! - Ironically I must note (and explain) that this is not ironic. CNN was less so, MSNBC is[***] more or less. There is a difference between a personality having a perspective and programming having a bias. It cannot be said MSNBC or its hosts are not critical of the administration. There is also a difference in tone and humor, and who is the punchline or bottomline.]
[***] & last 2 links update 10-30-09: "fair and balanced", not ironic. (Except the Hope for America link as a source.)

"The play's the thing"

"The lady doth protest too much, methinks."
Republicans war against class war. nOT!

The Provacateur: ThinkProgress

My play with words was the thing and the The Provacateur is aptly titled and actually fair and balanced for a righty but the results will be the thing. Oops, my "war against class war" typo lost an "n" which I picked up in OT*, whose link is accidently apropos in dropping the ball of context, like employment, the housing bubble, and debt. Which allows me to pick up and run with a comment which almost dribbled off my court of discourse, called inflation. One can keep passing the ball or the buck but when there is a leak or continual need to pump it up, something has got to get charged up. And I almost had a turn over again, but the bottomline is, that the median income would not have risen without all the spending, which would not have happened without the borrowing, not to mention the cost of war which buried us more. It must be remembered that no budget can exclude true costs, and they have always said that freedom is not free, but the budget must include the cost of peace and progress. Not to mention the price of values and the passing the buck.

* I had meant "warn" against, but the slip was priceless in the OT
BTW, I did foul out here by plowing to the basket and missing the point which could clear the net: inflation is a tax [Should the zebras call for another net that conflates March Madness, the month of Fools and other institutions?]
[technical foul or side line HINTS: war and nOT links are more like the wikipedia (last 3) with some "facts" in dispute or cherry picked if not even left off the court of reading, but The Provacateur: ThinkProgress links are more comprehensive if not comprehended only from a team perspective.]

"I'm king of the world!"

Speaking of being in the same boat * and cheesiest lines.

Gordon Brown floats a line: The G20 conference is no Bretton Woods but the kind of inflation we need is from the G2 to the G20 and the kind of deflation is from our leaders to chairs at the tables.

And the only thing more important than the four pillars of Obamanomics ** is holding the world together before it sinks together.

[The world is not the Titanic nor just a movie, but that does not mean there is not a tip of an iceberg.]
[More heads up at another table.]
[Just in case you wonder about the top line, the bottomline is "we the people"]

* "We the People" to "King of the World": "YOU'RE FIRED!" ...a letter from Michael Moore

** A Plea to Congress
Obamanomics:
We are all in this together.
Focus on the comprehensive if hard to comprehend interrelatedness of Education, Energy, Healthcare and World Finance.
Not to mention the cost of peace.

The New Trinity

Contempt of the People, by the people, for the people.

Bottomline?
The Fourth Estate is not a Liberal Media.

The Liberal-Media-Bias is Biased.

Not exactly what trinity means, but then again, it may be why there is such a viscious cycle. There is what it is, there is what you see, and there is what you do. Nothing will change without trust and verifications, at least not for the good.
