Existential Preemption?

Building our nation,

not policing the world.

My original intent was to link the Pre-SOTU references to Post-SOTU finds.

Not to mention Pop Culture:

President Obama* tells Congress Get it Done,

Not Mission Accomplished.

[I think the gist of my jest should be just right for the getting.]

*Ctrl F "get it done"

< previous post >

There is No Con in Team!

The President hit the right notes in the State of the Union.

No pun on what was left, but even Mitt Romney knew it would be a tool for his re-election*.

* fact-check: NOT (awkward Salon segue)

[asterisk excused: the "fact check" that was NOT, was more "political circumstances", while Salon was rightly pun and circumstance, not to pomp the re-election.]

[Speaking of double negatives and slight of**hand. Not to mention less*** slights.]

** from false flags of fear to, if wishes were fishes (knitting the net)

*** (reality politics[!])

[* NOT revisited: JB nails it.]

[Daniels nails it: Ctrl F "worse": see comment 2 and just plain wrong. When Daniels speaks of "worse" it can't be anything but just plain wrong. ]

The State of the Job Report

Think Progress reports 19 facts that could be known before you watch the State of the Union.

Number 3, more jobs created in 2011 than 7 of 8 Bush years.

And just consider what would have happened with the help of Republican Leaders.**

BTW: I buried the hatchet by not using other words.*

* or what would have happened without their help(a pun on job won)

** I had harsher words or a flip-flop of help, but if congress had worked, or if Obama had not compromised

[THE STATE OF THE UNION.]

Update

Somewhere I may have noted that Herman Cain said he would have a surprise before the South Carolina primaries. I haven't found that reference, but I wonder if this was it.

BTW: I think there is a new Niche for our Cain 'n Able.

Speaking of Updates.

[Forest Gumption: Krugman / Capehart[?] and Trees of Chocolate.

Not to mention Martin Bashir and Heads Examined. Tea Party Nation leader endorses candidate who literally* in his own words, needs his head examined. Who wants anybody to be on food stamps? Certainly not the president. The Gingrich claim that Obama is the "food stamp president" while coming close to being... [1-24-12: I chose to break mid-semantics as to the truth of claims. Judson Philips quote: "if you want someone to be on food stamps you really ought have your head examined" yet Gingrich thinks that is what Obama wants.** If you think the NAACP should demand pay checks not food stamps, what does that make you? That is what Gingrich charged them with.]

*1-17-12 must date page (updated 1-18-12)

** PAGES not normal post features(evolving means learning)

Format Change

Just as I was about to rearrange my blog a format change has been triggered. As you might note, the link to the title or lede will get you there*, as well as Home under PAGES.

Item 1 as originally intended

Item 2 as previously top of posts and other sources

BLOG ARCHIVE is the most expedient navigation section.

But note E(blogger) box(magnifying glass) < search this blog > box in top left corner, as well as Labels below.

* at this point the default lede link is itself,

if viewed from Home PAGES (anomaly this post)

(image, charts, cartoons and photos to follow)

[Not to mention try angles.]

At this time I would like to archive two Republican Debates to be viewed later.

Meet the Press Video 1-8-12 (factc checks)

And FoxNews. 1-16-12

At some point I may move this page, but for now this will suffice.

There will also be a quibble about whether "Free Enterprise" is on trial, or whether it is Science Friction.**

[This condition may evolve as I play with formats/templates.]
Labels label added.

*** apologies for anachronistic asterisks (No TrippleA [I. e!])
NFRY = not fully read yet: AKA not necessarily to be read soon.
Also not necessarily a valuable label, as it applies so frequently.
Today's Alex Wagner and Andrea Mitchell, especially the latter with Chris Matthews review a lot of the haggling of the Republican Race(slash debate), context and hyperbole.(see 1-17-12 scroll down here) Speaking of LBO[!] See AM and Leveraged Buy Outs and links lost(I thought I had embedded it somewhere today).(not to mention up tight[a,b,c] or out of sight asides.)(see lost here and found there, under fanciful economics, but not nfry.)[Meet the Press/FOXnews]
[Not pun/link TrippleA a D'Ribble: A ribble is a ribbing and a riddle. Not always labeled. First uses: Ribble, further parsing of first uses may be problematic. But here is a shot at D'Ribble and G'Ribble. A D'Ribble is a De-Ribble with few permutations, while a Grand Ribble may be close to an Obama Ribble which was probably an accident.]

Martin Luther King Jr. Day

For the first time his memorial will be open on his day.
Today I am refraining from ledership or word play.
But nature or nurture, it is also a snow day.
Not to rhyme or reason*, but not a bad segue.

[Word play & links* are more Google than nature or nurture.]

* i.e. results** are more Google than intent
** links are NFRY***

(NFRY to be explained.)
[NOTE: To Be Arranged. i.e. next post
At the present time the BLOG ARCHIVE is the right column mentioned there.
I am having format/template issues, see Under Construction.(labels and scroll over or down)
Older Posts is a new feature.(1st uses noted in preceding links)]
I have been lax in following the Republican debates, not that they were worth anything till recently. It may now be different with the caucus and primaries begun. Ron Paul may have fanciful economics but the golden rule is key to our differences.]

In the Mean Time...

I will have to stop jam packing so much meaning into my posts.
One point, not that I will start counting, is that the President has put so much on the table, the only place to put more may be under it.  Even there may be a tight fit, what with the war on tactics and the given perspectives.
(A- B)
(X-Y-Z)

[speaking of fit ]

Seg way
[emphasis anachronistic: How profit(s)ic? ]
[But an earlier mean time.]

note: C-(s)ic  not the original intent of "mean time".
[1-15-12 meaning pun on prophet(sic) slash pro fits, and what fits on the table.  Speaking of seg ways, "This Week*" covers a few, while I am still digging into Occupy Seattle.]

*and anachronisms: George Will is surprised (at 42:12) there is not more money in speech/politics "considering the stakes of our politics in allocating wealth and opportunity".  And there is a good bit on context.

Under the Table?

The point is four legs[**].
Another point is that I have not posted them yet.
There just so happens to be four.
Not that they are Romney*, Gingrich, Santorum, or Hunt*[s]*man, let alone Paul.

*anachronism alert:
[**] done [As to in the process*** of coordinating the legs.]
[The previous four posts were rough drafted Thursday 1-12-12, here are some coordinated links.
Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O'Donnell, No Bain Or...]
*** [They are Rachel, Lawrence and Colbert, not to mention Schultz.]
[But the "under the table" is a reference to getting things on the table [!]

And the not so plane truth.]

[Sub-Text? Freedom is not a fool.
Here are the four posts:
Up Tight?
Triumvirate
Vulture or Social Contract?
Heterodoxy.

[And as usual Martin Bashir covers it
in his show.]
[Then(later)there is Dylan Ratigan, The War on War and Iran, or who ran?]
[And Al Sharpton with PoliticsNation]
[another four legs:

Primary Boogeyman

Rule to the Exception.
Freedom / Hardball
Mitt Romney wins, Paul 2nd, Huntsman 3rd.
Gingrich and South Carolina next.
Huntsman ticket to ride or flavor of moment?

Yeah that's the ticket, but here is even more.

There is the old adage "divide and conquer",
but then there is the exception that proves the rule.
If Republican political calculus is anything, it is attack strength.
Economic Freedom is the key.
What it means, is the meme.
Absolutism may be the red flag of the Teddy Bull,
but the cape* of the progressive.

*Ctrl F "Nietzsche"

[Romney indeed made history as the first non-incumbent Republican to win both Iowa and New Hampshire, but given recent history, Fukuyama and the Neo-cons, it seems to fit the Primary Boogeyman frame, not to mention unprecedented Bush the Uniter.]

[1-11-12 CBS Christie Does Cynical Well, "Jersey-Style" **
CBS Poll Romney beats Obama,
Michelle Beats Anger.]
[My original intent here yesterday, was a Primary Colors reference, and a pun on Exception to Rule, not The Rule, but don't step on my blue suede shoes. (Reference post-**)]

[** I mean the Governor of New Jersey does "lame" well, if as Romney's "hit man" he is accusing Obama of not doing anger well.  Is that Neo-Boogeyman?  A flip-flop of the Doom and Gloom, and more of the Fear and Smear.  Governor Christie is the Sarah Palin with Lip Schtick.  Ouch, that was not to imply that he is a VP choice, but given the frame maybe.  When I use Hyperlink, I use Hyperlink. ]

[4a continued:  Freedom is not a tool***, but an end that doesn't justify economics.  This is my riff off of only the 1st paragraph of The Economist, on Economic blogs and "A less dismal debate." After reading it more fully(see ***) a funny thing happened on the way to the for 'em.  Actually it only hinges on the "tool" concept and the nature of "innovation" and the nature of economic debates.  Not that I have more than glanced at the debate example, but it also hinges on the nature of people as well as material or ideological forms.]
*** again note anacronism of 4m (see asterisks and bracketeds) as I evolved the post comma segment.[being in magazine 4m another one of the 4a.] (Note technical difficulties, uncertain if any threads or hyperlinks are lost, but I close in the middle of reading Marginal Revolutionaries in hard copy.)]

A Shot in the Arm?

A collegue recently commented on the difficulty or the desire to be objective.  This nails perspectivism on the head, or is it the cross?  From neo-perspectivism through neo-nuanced and neo-platonic we do have a dynamic*** of global balance.  More sorting later*.    Thus spoke Niche?

* 1-9-12  correction (not two Chinas: two perspectives.)
BTW:  Thus spoke Adam Smith.
D'Ribble[!] Which came first the crossroad or the chicken?**
Henwood/More?  More's the Pity?

[On the other arm, a nemesis may have stubbed a tow(sic) on the plank the nail sticks out of.]

[Speaking of Ice, Thom Hartmann is in Iceland and provides some of the neo-perspectivism.]

** 1-10-12 link added (plural)
*** also maybe plural(see Hartmann/neo-relativism?) dynamics?
[edit notes: Ctrl F "the cart"]
[Also Ctrl F "Descartes" and the four horsemen?]

[Note: I have been lax in my boldness of links as an aid to navigation or sense of the thread.  In that regard I finally bolded two.< now 3(!) >  Also my asterisks and [brackets] are time relative or sensitive. i.e. to flow of the read. Now I will also note the relative flow of neo-platonic, neo-perspectivism, neo-liberal, neo-con, neo-nuanced and neo-relativism, not to end with six, name names or Ctrl F.  BTW:  Excuse me if I don't go to the trouble of flip-flopping the tetrahedron, that is the point.(Ctrl F "the people" and "the constitution".)]
[Speaking of a4 or timing, my 4a brought me another F, if not CF.(Note grammar, numbers, shapes, timing, etc.) F is TBA. Not to mention ? Nor Kidding. In closing (?)(!) Or too close to the 4close or Bane?]
[Third Bane's a charm? i.e. convention, congress, cain ? ]
[Speaking of Bane and Try Angles or Flip Romney and flopping it.
BTW: Under the Flip link there is an accounting or statistical trick that is not unknown to the debate.  I won't play upon it, but it involves the "average tax cut" versus "the middle-income American."  It is mathematical hyperbole as well as reasonable, where reality is even more confusing.  It is more accurate to say that the richest are paying a lesser per cent of their gross (actual tax rate) than any other income category after the  standard deductions and other taxes are accounted for.]
