The Choice
Forward or Back.
Speaking of back, I know that Dorothy was not the one with the Tea Party, but Alice had the preemptive dream not to be stuck on a party theme.
Meanwhile Ed Schultz made some interesting progress, and Norman Goldman covers the same issue or Harry Reed calling out Obama. Well... not exactly. My preemptive analysis is that maybe it is good cop, bad cop routine, with several caveats. They aren't cops, they aren't just good or bad, and they aren't even the same branch of government. When it come to courage and pragmatism there is a difference between legislating and administering, and how their leadership is navigated, not to mention running the national or states governments, and their party navigations. A caller soon after with Ed, suggested that this was orchestrated, well... maybe. Who let the dogs out. Woof, woof. They are not dogs* either, but they are giving license to each other and are tugging on our leashes.
*Actually there are blue dogs, yellow dogs and maybe green or purple dogs.
[On the other hand, who knows? ...but comparing other countries debt concerns does not reflect their relative investment in infrastructure, social and jobs policies.]

Immigration Reform
and Political Maneuvering:
[Posted* elsewhere under construction.]
* I had an earlier comment [found it: SEE (scroll to)"To Heck with the Political..." 2010-07-08 12:04] not at the above elsewhere link
[My point is that Republicans are too often for something before they are against it. Some people believe there are absolutes, and do not see the gray** in their words. Present company included. Then there are people that follow leaders or misleaders. In regards to Immigration Reform, Ronald Reagan was not so demonized for his amnesty for illegal or undocumented workers. And Senator McCain was for comprehensive reform before he was against it. But the big issue is who is responsible and that is the federal government.[***] There is an optional federal E-verify program, and there are two AZ laws that are at issue. The problem is Republicans making it an issue for state political calculations, and not addressing it at the federal level for the federal political calculations.]
** or is it purple or constitutional/political separations
[*** post post links added]
[The current policy is that hiring of undocumented workers is the crime without punishment. Comprehensive Immigration Reform would be documentation with punishment but at least a process. My theory is that you cannot just enforce laws at will without interpretation and implimentation consideration, unless you are Republican. The Federal Goverment is not just the Obama Administration, it is also congress. Congress is not just the House but also the Senate. While the House is solidly in Democratic control, the Senate is in minority control, Republican 41, even though there is a bi-partisan majority. 56-D/2-I]
[Mini-Meta- Meme? I just mean a heckuva job filtering, when there is so much out there. Keep in mind: A. what a job it would be to check MSNBC & FOX and B. the fact that Politifact began only during the 2008 campaign.]

The Exit Strategy
It was my original intent in The Exit Strategy:*
I have heard now from several perspectives that the Rolling Stones article on General McChrystal was his Exit Strategy. They are from the usual talking heads or other open sources in the know, i.e. opinions supposedly from experience. It was my original intent to imply that it was the General's intent to work his way out of the job, and in so doing serve a purpose that the job of getting out of Afghanistan is served. At least two of those perspectives are; the arrangement with the reporter was very unusual**, and it allowed Obama to take the command. Even these have a strange entanglement, which just happens to spin around watching ones words, which if very tricky in times of war, let alone diplomacy. Both of which the previous administration had little command, let alone achieving on top of stating ones purposes.
*even though the Ctrl F was about navigating this blog and watching ones words

[Speaking of Watching Ones Words]
BTW: This is almost like a cross-words puzzle party. Hint: understanding Scowcroft.

A moratorium might not be necessary if one just reviews all the permits and find any cases whose assurances of safety or other requirements can be shown to be erroneous. I would suggest that be undertake post haste and under executive order, to heck with court rulings.

and Holey Math!
The words are not as bad* as the math or the understanding of the checks and balances and full faith in budgets or IOU's.
* Picking up from the last link(or 2) in the last post I must note the biased(although that is relative)source(mediaite) and dig out the Paul Krugman and Peter G. Peterson sources above. And I have to say that there is no comparison to the "gotcha journalism" of recent controversy. Commissioner Simpson was the aggressor who stood his ground in error or at least two worlds, confusing the IOU's with the Lock Box. i.e. the double hit is not, except for the interest that is robbing Paul to not pay Peter. No pun on sources, but I must note that we have a strange convergence of agreement, Simpson must go or actually be used to school the debate. But I will unthread these sources to D-Day(the Derivatives article) in Progressive Breakfast with a side of Simpson a link to Krugman, and from him to The Fiscal Times(of Peter G. Peterson). Has one ever seen such bipartisan agreement that Simpson should go for several reasons?[bold added 1-31-11] But does it not boil down to this? The double hit is really a double pick pocket or some such farther from faith and credit to government.

Many Key an ism?
The Key is the J-street news.
The Blockade* has had an ironic effect? [No disrespect to the ism or True Torah Jews or Zionism.*]
* there is a place for all people but there is a difference between having sovereignty and being it. I am only explaining the difference between perspectives and within Zionism the difference in recognizing a place at the table and apparently not. True Torah Jews do not believe in a Jewish State, that does not mean they don't believe in Israel. Zionism believes in the need for a Jewish State, while some don't recognize the need for a Palestinian State. As I understand the True Torah Jews, it seems close to Manicheanism, a separation of church and state, the spiritual and material, and a relationship to all. The commonality at least is in the support for the American Isreali relationship by both J-Street and True Torah Jews.

Use Dispersants On BP!
Not the chemical kind, the market kind.
The Answer to BP is Dispersants
Chapter 11 or Receivership? NO! Let the market work. As their stock goes down, someone will by it. Let them be taken over, but don't let them escape their responsibility. This idea started as a joke, what is the solution? Dispersants. Use them on BP, on the executives as well, might not be bad. As they are dispersed hold their new affiliations accountable.
Do you know who else started as a joke? Ayn Rand, at least as a fiction. But her ideas were soon dispersed, from Objectivism, to Libertarianism, Reaganomics. She was anti-collectivism, so she would rolling in her grave over the corporate personhood, but it is hard to tell, given how her ideas were dispersed, and never dispersed the foundational errors of government expansion. Or she could be just a misunderstood tea partier. But back to our problem, the BIG PROBLEM OF BIG PROFITS AND BIG POLLUTION. Too big to fail? Too big to bail... out that is.
If Obama does not quite meet the level of FDR, I might just say...GO BUSH! That is right GO BUSH ON US,GO BUSH ON BP, GO BUSH on the Bush Problems.**
Of course I am being facitious in part. But if he would at least GO TRUMAN on us, or even Milton Friedman. Few probably know (if wiki is right*) that Milton Friedman, proposed a negative income tax. And he was a Reagan economic advisor. Take what you will from this, but it better be a lesson that the government is not the problem, but it is part of it, and so are corporations.

Have they filled Helen's seat yet?
Just to clarify: I do not believe all Jews should go back home*, and I hope (and feel confident) Helen Thomas did not either.(**) She seems to recognize that there are two states, Israel and Palestine from her answer to the original question. Which is more than one might be able to conclude of the questioner[***], given the way it was (mis?)understood, and misrepresented. If Helen Thomas (age aside) can be given such a hard time for her opinion and poor decision to engage in a sidewalk interview, my point is that there would be a whole lot more job openings in journalism, especially in the media.
* which home and what is a Jew?(not that I am answering that, but that does go to the modus operandi of a lot of the questioners{so called journalists] with their "what if"s or "it is as if"s. By the Golden Rule, they would not have been in the position to have created this "gotcha moment", be they Wire Staff, Newsroom or Press Secretaries.)

Head Hunters?
Actually I am looking for a new job.
Rabbilive.com interviewed Helen Thomas.
Now she has been forced to retire in an ironic atmosphere. Of course she is a journalist and she should have been more careful with her words, or not even held an opinion or at least not mentioned it or done an interview.** Ironically it is hard to extend that consistency to the likes of the Right where journalism and opinion are so connected there would be a whole lot of job openings if it were to be applied across the board. It would also be hard for her to be turned down by some speakers boards*. But then we are back to the irony.
(or Try Un Ism)
* of course given market forces it would still be a risk
** even this may be to harsh an analysis: one would think that she said that Jews should get out of Israel. That is a flat out error by CNN.***
[There is no defending the conclusion that has been reached by those that have listened to Helen Thomas, yet that is a double-edged sword. The conclusion is unjustified that all Jews should get out of Israel, it is also not necessarily what she implied. The challenge is to find a true transcript of her answers to the questions and then not ask "what if's" that are equally off base, especially behind her back.]
*** ["Thomas was then asked where the Jews in Israel should go? Thomas responded, "They should go home," which the White House reporter identified as "Poland, Germany ... and America and everywhere else."] The bold is not confirmed by the original on Rabbilive.com]

Net Roots or Grass Tip Memo
We are not alone in thinking we have the solutions, but sometimes it takes enough information and expertise to get things done, let alone right. Frustration and fiat are not enough! And often the media serves both rather than fact. In fact, given the relationship between the media and some of the culprits, and an often said reliance on them for information, there is only more information that needs to be filtered or weeded out[**]. This applies to fixing the economic bubble in the stratosphere and the bathyspheric leak* in the our planet. Excuses are lame, but solutions might be unprecedented.

in not making much economic sense. There are always people who think they know better, it does not mean they have solutions to the problems. There is a case for change, but until there is enough, there are still the same solutions needed*. That is not to say there can't be too much. There can. And Obama isn't it. Too much change that is, but hopefully, incrementally just enough.
We must have a design with an intention, not just a bottom line that starts at the top. Those that see the deficit as the greatest problem and cutting spending as the simplest solution, should know better**, not that it influences their success or advice.
* proper investments(not just jobs) are needed along with top down reform of the "invisible hand" and "bubble" blowing; a tweaking or replacement of Keynesian economics.

Re: con text

[And the tale of two leaks? President Obama, Please. Step on some throats! I think the administration should have some "anglers" and "philosphers". This is an obtuse reference to Cheney and Rumsfeld*, but what with the blame that the likes of Palin and Paul place on them, since we don't have "the one" in the White House, we may need a czar of rolling some heads. i.e. "get her done" or out the door types.]

The Real Deal?
I've seen it happen time after time. When the Democratic candidate allows himself to be put on the defensive and starts apologizing for the New Deal and the fair Deal, and says he really doesn't believe in them, he is sure to lose. The people don't want a phony Democrat. If it's a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time; that is, they will take a Republican before they will a phony Democrat, and I don't want any phony Democratic candidates in this campaign.

The Randslide?
I believe I must credit Sarah Palin for using this term. But Rand Paul must credit Rachel Maddow for giving him an even hand.
The Pre-Midterm Mandate: The Ed Effect Sometimes the Democrats ask too little.* I second Ed. And Stephanie Miller. Not to mention TeaParty of the Left?
There is a theory out there that slips my mind now, but if I have not recrafted it, mine is that the Republicans run down government and Democrats have an up hill battle.** Actually I just sharpened it a bit. But economically*** it is a serious theory, if you look at each of the past Democratic Presidents since Eisenhower. Each administration has had a lot to recover from, and have been progressively less timid in addressing the slide, yet increasingly needful of change. Careful change.
* my amendment to Sestak paraphrasing President Kennedy.
** and I don't mean the slippery tubbers(Cf)i.e. link and Ctrl F "tub"
*** Oh and my General(Mills) Eisenhower pun aside,(but not the inversion of the check mark), my theory actually covers the existence of the Democratic Party. I will simply say that since Vietnam there has only been Carter and Clinton while the Carter was not out of the shadow of debt he faced the energy crisis, Clinton failed to transcend the Reagan revolution. I think it hinges on the failure to understand Keynesian economics and the evolution of empires or power period.

The Ed Effect!
I just heard Ed Schultz call it, The Pre-Midterm Mandate. He noted that he had mentioned it last night. Not having found it yet, I might add that when you consider the wave, the medium/the mess age, it is a case of divide and cover age. The frustrated are fleeing the muddle. The only call is to challenge the middle.
The Obama Effect?
The Specter Effect!
The Hartmann Effect?
Bottom Line? Not Devolution.
The President is a progressive that needs pushing or convincing while it might be just a hunch that it was more than just self preservation for Specter not to run to the right. I think history should look kindly on Specter to have fought for what he believed rather than go with the flow of Republicans. While Specter was always a crafty navigator of issues, I think that he would rather lose as a moderate than run as a revolutionary.
[This opinion does not rely** on a read of the first two links, while a scroll over of the rest may suffice to get a jist.]
[** nor certainly endorse or bother read]
[Just in! Thom Hartmann predicts Sestak for President in 2016! Not to mention my ironic endorsement of my 2nd link. Ironic in that, how can one believe an NRSC ad? It makes me endorse him, although I am not a Pennsylvanian.]

But seriously folks. God is mentioned once, in each/(either) of the two founding documents. Con text aside...( a big aside) A search of each document did not find Judeo-Christian, Christ, Jesus or Jews in either. This points directly to the mind play that is not based on the word.
* an alternative subtitle was lost, by Jove.
George had a hatchet and only nicked the tree in the likely fable. Lop her Oh Really? Wierd word play.
Again I found these links, after my Franklin and Adams references.[**]
[Original Emailed 5-7-10 sans opening line: Only slightly recrafted today with Post-Weak-End comments and link.]
[**] refers to earlier yet to be incorporated emails. Well actually there is a pre-Lob her Palin Franklin reference here last paragraph under security. [In a search for our freedoms as taken advantage of by terrorists, the proper link was hard to find. But it was lost and found under our freedoms.]
Cindi Lauper is like who?

Hierarchy of Hypocrisy
Hating to generalize I note my potential logical fallacy in the following. Nevertheless, between the 2nd amendment and the 14th amendment, there seems a hierarchy for some. From Right to Bear Arms to Citizenship Rights where does the 1st amendment fit in? (*)
A. There is no hierarchy in constitutional amendments.
B. There are Supreme Court rulings that influence their dynamics.
C. So many blogs are moot points. (GOTO 1st sentence)
Of course maybe my posts are just moot or problematic. Problematic in generalizing and leaping. Unfortunately you must read, to decide. In generalizing there may be some association between the authors of certain events but not necessarily relevant. In the above case I simply point to fact that removal of citizenship is being considered for some but not their guns, while free speech is an element that might be fringe but relative. Meanwhile in an earlier and adjacent thought, some of this new found legislative fury seem like WMD.** Weapons of Mass Distraction. It would seem that all this populist rancor is really keeping Homeland Securiy busy. And while I support all rights reasonably used, I cannot help but feel that it really is a burden on our security. A bit more responsible reporting and responsible associating might help, but then how one goes about that...almost makes me long for a unitary executive. BTW: the dot, dot, dot was a rhetorical segue or moot question.
My potential obtuseness was not an attempt to be excedingly careful***, yet the cause and effect might be anachronistic(i.e. flip-flopped). The links to previous word choices were not intentionally designed to be more than a search for my previous usage, but they do seem to bring up some previous associations which show the importance of the process and progress, not to mention providing hope.
(*) an alternative link.
(**) not that early: My first referencing of Weapon of Mass Distraction.
(***) but maybe an antidote to some talk show hosts that muddle the search for terrorist
[Oh, and I do not vouch for the legal analysis or terminology in my ABC's. And had not intended to close with the SCOTUS link when I set out. Let alone the less than inflammable association with security. But it does seem that it is wierd that flammable and moot have similar usage issues as does the roots or branches of Faust, let alone Devil's Advocates. But no, that is the legal process, not to mention political, and word and world modifying dynamics, or as I have stumbled out(or coined) "dymanics". I will conclude with the issue that there was some Beckian confusion in the topic of a National Prayer Day in regard to what was canceled and what is being fought and by whom. But the ideas which Thom Hartmann yesterday contrasted was a National Day of Reason to share and balance the National Day of Prayer. While I suggested a National Day of Faith. But would that be legal? Not without debate, moot and inflammable or not.]

Waiting in the Wings.
[Update: 5-6-10 Here**] This is to note that I have a few spots and comments under developement in draft. In particular something on the issue of news/web coverage (so called Journalism) and it's sometimes too fast pace or poorly prophetic & preemptive coverage.
Meanwhile I just read this and don't recall if I had linked it as a to read or saved for reference* or loose link.
* a look at my posting dates indicates the latter
P.S. The NYTimes of course has it's cynics, while I hope CSM doesn't need more critics.
[**]5-6-10 regards saved in draft(now posted) as wise move and error to be followed up.

53 Hours*
[POSTED 5-6-10: This item was saved in draft as noted, and it was a wise wing walk **. I am no longer puzzled but will draw more from draft, and leave leaking the tangents below.]
I am still puzzled about a CSM article.
Truly Horizons that need updating somewhere apparently and ironically.
P.S. my Wave Label has not been kept up(clearly) although the con text has advanced in other 4mats and meta4s.
* pun on "24 minutes" (yes I believe I heard that) but I am sure it was just a misspeak. Yet I am doing as they say**.
Sub Text: Hint Gulf Leak Submission?
Not to mention NBC ad re Fox: and Cheney's Gulf Golf/Gee Oh Me Try and Newtons Fig Tangent. Olbermann Pushed On NBC! Cussing The Riggers. Fig'N Calculus But it is more personal than that.
[Posted as is, date & time reflect first draft.]

FAUX CULTIAN?
Pop Culture [*] and big Do Do!
[Source threads: [A], [B].
[I should note that I have not even caught Mad Men or The Wire but they might be following us and I allude to the deeper threads, which just might hinge on the word reconstruction as much as deconstruction.]
[Hint: "PC" is a Beckian tangent(wisecrack or side crack), while "Do Do" is a mess age we are in and must "read" as "well/to do". P.S. not pronounced "doh, doh" but that is another tangent or non-dough dew.]
[P.S.2.0 my "original intent" was to avoid "a ribble", but it could be unavoidable without a revamping of Keynesian economics or at least an imparting of Try-Go-No Metrics.]
* Update 5-6-10 P.C. Explained see Hint link added under "Beckian".
