Toning Down the Lines.
Just in case it was not clear, my Waiting for [Calm Cast] was not just a metaphor, and Comcast did arrive to increase my signal strength by toning down my lines. Hmmm. That works. But what I also wish to make clear is that while some may rightly argue the wisdom of another involvement in military action that the tone and approach are totally different than recent actions. If Congress wishes[*] to have a different view, they may need to take certain measures to make clear where military action is appropriate, until that time the Commander in Chief is responsible (for) foreign policy, upholding international treaties and the U.N. charter. Now I also need to sort out a few of these links, but my point is that this time our action is only as a leader of a united concern that is a bit clearer than recent actions, and those with veto power in the U.N. did not use their vetos. Of course actions may evolved based on certain reactions, but that is the nature of putting things clear or on the table.

Waiting for [Calm Cast]
[...]
In [brackets],
this is a big deal.
By this I mean, yes I am actually waiting for Comcast to check on the strength of my signals. Meanwhile, the President has taken some guff for his ESPN time, [yet] he did kill two birds with one stone by making a plea for aid to the triple disaster in Japan. And by "big deal", I mean the UN vote not getting one veto of its resolution for use of "all necessary measures" to protect civilians in Libya. This may be the un- mess age. It may be about the choices we make.
Now...before I embolden the most need to read or view, I will add that I did not* have all these links when I hit the keyboard this morning. My point is that waiting for the right time to...
[QED/FOOTNOTE: A subsidiary point is that no matter the actions even the president takes, we just can't win without the butterfly(see NOT) of politics. Even this QED was not about finetuning the general idea, until it flapped its wings and did more than footnote. It was actually about the idea that I only had a footnote and the above needed no more.]
* double negative? On point of having message before hand(or (maybe not).
[UPDATE: Comcast** is yet to arrive, [and NewsNation has yet to have clip available] but the President just made an announcement. He is bridging the signals gap and being a uniter not burning Bush.]

I Told You So.
NO... a lot of Frackin' People told us so.
[See CAUTION below]
In particular Aristotle and his physics not supplanted till Newton.
Just where am I coming from and where am I going? Good question, but for the moment I accidently clicked on a number of years ago and hit upon examples of the ongoing interpretation. [Interpretations and rules of power.(Or Not)]
[BTW: I have a few labels to catch up on, but I will make another connection. Prior to the earthquake, with the passing of David Broder, it occurred to me that one should not feel a loss, based on which side of the political spectrum(or geography) one is on. Not that it does not matter to many people. After the earthquake it is still all about how it effects us, not about how it impacts those that were closer to the problem.* But it is not wrong to politically learn from tragedy, or just plain expect be the cause. Not that I connect the cause, but there are laws, and always time for pause.]
* not to minimize nor distract from the Japan suffering, but it is very ironic that Ronald Reagan a product of GE, had his nine most dangerous words ("I'm from the government and I'm here to help.") and then his namesake USS Ronald Reagan has to navigate the perils of radiation from a product of GE.
[CAUTION: Some these links may be sensitive or insensitive** depending on you're own perspective, but I will add that some may be sufficient just to scroll over or click on for a hint of mine, and look forward to parsing or bolding some for better focus.]
** Lewis Black On Broadway? Frackin' or Bleepin' not employed, it will be the real deal(meaning not deleteds).

What are the Frackin' Odds...
it's the frackin' spin!(?)
Well actually the original intent was the timing thing.
What are the odds, if you listen to Stephanie Miller and you google, you will find. Now...actually* before I take too many tangents I will simply fade...
(but with the intent to later find three points indicate a circle.)
...but it was not a tangent, it was the punchline of the google crack above.
Rather than explain the tangent or run the odds**, I will just note the connection point of contact in Exceptionalism.
* this was an odd thing and find. Below the you listen, and you google are what I believe few knew if it is true. That when Obama was blamed for saying there were 57 states and that that was Islamic, that there were actually 57 jurisdictions in the electoral process including uncommitteds?
**run is a pun on Runes and odds is a play on THE Pythagoras WAY.
[It is awkard to reflect the actual timeline but I did finish this post, and not POST it till I remembered to POST The Tetrahedron? post.]
[And wish to note that I am very concerned about Japan, but is there ever a time to let one's guard or humor down? But all humor is not created equal, let alone meaning.]
[BTW: Is there any meaning in Frackin' being a play on words, math, and related to energy? I will let you search for that, but it is not the ribble. Nor was it my intent.]

Third Time's The Charm
[Finally posted 3-14-11 ]
Three times lucky? Actually I have not been lucky in finding the origin of the first, but I have been several times knocked off course. Just as I wrote this the news was noting the passing of a local law enforcement officer who had three centers of gravity, friends, family and work, so is that the message? "Every cloud has a silver lining" has also recently infiltrated my blog. That is credited roughly to John Milton and Katty Macane.
Numbers may play a big part in superstitions, but they also may play a big part in meanings. Past, present and future is just one case for threes, though not necessarily in that order, and this is not just to play with words. Of course if superstitions play any part in society, they will play a part in words, and words play a part in meanings, but which comes first? Some of this math and meandering came to my attention in regards to politics. Have you heard of the third way? The Clinton Adminstration was the first occasion I became aware of it in a political form, not that I had done the math in regard to other departments. But basically there are the two ends of the political spectrum and then there is the centrist. But is it the people, the target or the answers that are there? Or is it target, people or answers...who knows? However at this time I intend to apply it to the topic of navigation, or at least The Myth of Triangulation and wonder if a silver lining plays into any of this. While it is plane* to see where three plays into many things, it should suffice to read Robert Reich's article yourself as I have now read it twice. But I have yet to revisit the concept of navigation itself or any application of the tetrahedron to other perspectives of improving on our picture.

Crossing the Rubicon
Japan Earthquake 2011
Ledership?* Not to ponder. I pun on journalism, as the heading is called a lede. I broach this piece with the tragic news of the earthquake in Japan, where I have family as well as tsunami, in Hawaii where family is also located. Expressing our thoughts and prayers for the impacted are what was difficult about understating or even blogging about it.
Yesterday's post was quite involved and spun off of and onto other threads of thought. Not that any of that had to do with what may have been record winds in our neighborhood and record rain the previous day in the region. But I will close for the day and get on with my intended schedule with only an update on The Curve or Nuance Thing.**

Today is a good day for...
...STEPHANIE MILLER.
Something about having to laugh or you'd (might) cry. I had a hunch this would start something, or end somewhere.
Speaking of Ribbles...
Multiple "Choice" Questions
The Fourth Law of Logic
Something to Ponder
Math is next to Ge Oh Me Try.
God is Good[*]with a missing Oh.
Actually this was a tangent from my original intent.(NOT) (or pond during)
But seriously(as if I am not): there were also three links from Stephanie Miller.(not to mention)
[* 3-11-11] today I note that at the time I was aware of the irony or maybe the need for a comma, or was it too vain an attempt, as an "o" really is needed to have the "oh", yet it revolves around "Something to Ponder".

Update
The other thing.
Norman Goldman promotes RecallTheRepublican8.
[And BREAKING NEWS: There is no denying the Wisconsin Senate has pulled a fast-one. The Budget Repair Bill which required the 3/5s quorum because it was a fiscal bill(which was the excuse for ending collective bargaining) was broken into two bills. The anti-collective bargaining bill which Republicans said they would not pass without Democrats was removed from the Budget Repair bill and passed(without Democrats).]

The Curve or Nuance Thing
In this I am referring first to the Laffer Curve, which is propably not exactly a Bell Curve..
Now to un-nuance something or other.** The Laffer Curve has generally been used to argue that reducing taxes will increase government revenue. That is also called Supply Side economics. Reduced taxes(for the rich and corporations) will create jobs that will produce things and the economy will grow. Supply money, or not take it away, and it will supply jobs that will supply products and people will buy more. A better economy means better revenue. If people cannot see a few leaks in this theory, it is not just what I may have left out.
Not just the Demand Side, but also the debt side, the outsourcing, and the Wall Street or commodities side are left out. If money is being left in businesses and jobs, it is not being taxed as income. If it has a lower tax rate it will come out as income that will be spent, but there are fewer people in the top tax brackets to benefit the economy than there are in the lower tax brackets who would benefit the economy by having enough money to pay for their needs let alone their demands. Their decrease in taxes, or other income benefits,* would increase demand for products which would produce demand for jobs, which would increase their ability to benefit the economy. Now of course there are dangers to an either/or supply or demand(or any general) approach to the analysis. Then there are the debt, outsourcing, and Wall Street factors. Taxes are aslo a part of how these issues(debt, trade, and investment) effect the economy as generally explained here,(as well as in a more complex equation of the economy) as well as how changes in tax code may help the economy.
This has generally been more about how reduced taxes can help the economy. But there is the correction to the myth that all reducing of taxes increase the revenue. When that is more properly on the curve or in the equation, increased revenue will come from a general rise in the economy, as well as the proper taxation rate which will benefit the debt picture, which will be good for the economy. Now, too much emphasis on the burden of debt, trade and investment risks, must also find itself on the curve or dynamic equation of the big picture as well.
* two charts
** two curves in first paragraph: Ezra Klein and Eugene Robinson
*** yet to fully read, but a note on foreign aid as something to cut with only 1% of the budget. It just might fit into the above understanding of proper balance and investment not that it all is, but a cut in foreign aid may mean an increase or leak in another part of the picture above.
[I hope the above is easy to understand, but then there is the crack pot calling the kettle "stupid". i.e. Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg disagreeing with what Alan Simpson and Charles Krauthammer think.]
[Also Straw Man D'baits Red Herring. Thomas Sowell is right, there is no trickle down. That is because the money needs to be spent at the bottom, but where does the money come from? From the demand and the production of the worker.]

The One Thing
Maybe I am on to something.
Ed Schutz and fine tuning the message.
Tax cuts increase the deficit, redistribute wealth and only make the country look broke. Well...this is a bit better than my potential rant on nuance.(See Artful Dodgers)
[Looking back at the Billy Club thing: George F. Will weighs in on the Huckabee deal. Three things: George F. Will writes for a living, he hopes to influence the presidential race, and the Republican race in particular, not that I link him with the Koch brothers or question his patriotism*. Apparently George F. Will has a concern about the Imperial or Pro-Colonial (Huckabee/Gingrich/Palin) wing of the Republican party.]

Back to "The One Thing?"
It was not my intent to play on the "one thing" that Hucakbee got wrong in regards to British Imperialism, and the history as we know it.
Huckabee: "And one thing I do know is having grown up in Kenya, his view of the Brits, for example, is very different than the Average American."
Also: "When we elect a president, we entrust to him not just our security but also our story. The two are inseparable because our security depends on the story that we believe in, that inspires us, that we teach our children, and that we, as a nation, are willing to fight for."
The one thing was the chart and spinning off from that *, all things.
[While the link might be tenuous** in these two items, Huckabee and Economic Recovery, it can be seen in the flip-side of the two-birds equation: the economy loses, Obama loses.]
*Page 17: Q27 - a combined 59% of the people support raising taxes or postponing elimination of the deficit.
[Ribble =ribbing and riddle (Embedded in Q27, is reference to "missing link" in earlier post: where thanks to someone not getting me, I got more out of it. Not to be mis-understood as a reference to "the one",but maybe win-win...for Democrats and the Economy.)]
** New RNC chair is old Wisconsin Republican State Chairman
[Speaking of original intent or missing links: it is about the story and...Stephanie Miller***. (She or a caller maybe broke the story on January 25th: a timeline of sorts)]
[On another level.]
*** earliest reference
[American Exceptionalism and three views. In my view the Obama exceptionalism is what makes America great, not what makes it the next empire.]
[3-6-11: Media Matters for Huckabee whether on book tour or campaign , but is "brain slip" really valid? Yes, his true thinking may have been outed from his hours of shilling his book. Tells US: "These people should read my book and they would know what I mean..." Well thanks for the excuse, for all artful dodgers.]

[Ribble =ribbing and riddle (Embedded in Q27, is reference to "missing link" in earlier post: where thanks to someone not getting me, I got more out of it. Not to be mis-understood as a reference to "the one",but maybe win-win...for Democrats and the Economy.)]
** New RNC chair is old Wisconsin Republican State Chairman
[Speaking of original intent or missing links: it is about the story and...Stephanie Miller***. (She or a caller maybe broke the story on January 25th: a timeline of sorts)]
[On another level.]
*** earliest reference
[American Exceptionalism and three views. In my view the Obama exceptionalism is what makes America great, not what makes it the next empire.]
[3-6-11: Media Matters for Huckabee whether on book tour or campaign , but is "brain slip" really valid? Yes, his true thinking may have been outed from his hours of shilling his book. Tells US: "These people should read my book and they would know what I mean..." Well thanks for the excuse, for all artful dodgers.]

Huckabee [update]
I have yet to see someone[*] make a point about the American Exceptionalism issue in regards to the Mau Mau history of Mike Huckabee, Birther Debate aside.
Well actually I found at least one...embedded in bold above, the rest I have yet to read.
[* 3-4-11 Not originally intended as a variant of "some people" which some media(FOX) are want to use as sources. It was more conversational in indicating that I had not heard anyone make the point that Mike Huckabee is implying that there was no British Empire, by defininition imperial. I may or may not get back to reading any of the rest.][Wonkette under Mike notes the "imperial" problem, as well as the Washington Post under Huckabee in 2nd update. Here is a Salon piece on Hucakbee and his Story-telling-in-Chief beliefs.]

The one thing?
[Right Columns Being Updated]
Well...
it was a chart that demonstrates the effects on GNP for various stimulative choices.
Translation:
Tax Cuts Bad
Federal Spending Good.
This of course is overly simplified, and relative to the position on the (Laffer) bell curve for tax rates.
Permanent tax cuts do not get even get half their money's worth of stimulative effect, while all categories under federal spending get well more than their buck's bang.
Speaking of "Killing two birds with one stone"...
Rachel Maddow [*] addresses the issue of Wisconsin and why Democrats exist(economic populism).
(Wall Street Journal/NBC Poll)
[Navigation aid: see bold link(s)]
[UPDATE 1-22-11 Keith and Rachel, D-part meant of Corrections and Stephanie Miller]
[Bottom Line? Democrats can stand strong and the American people will support them, and standing with the unions of Wisconsin and collective bargaining will be what the average American supports, the lopsided money and media to the contrary.]
[Potential follow-up: No to Violence, No to Prank News: But seriously.]
[*] my apologies the bold Rachel Maddow link has been corrected
[further Huckabee, Ed Schultz, Norman Goldman**, and Reverse Re-Verses.]
** must add show link for Norman
