And another thing.  Labor goverment want to shape and chill the speach around seccurety issues.  They need to creat the image that they are fighting to defend Briton with out really offending any constituance.  They need to creat the image that terrorist have no ethnicity or history.  They are issolated crimanals with not envirment that they funtion in.  Fish w/o watter. 
 
How do you libraly fight terror?  First you insist that no one use the words "fight" or "terror."  Those words are Torry dirty political tricks to steal Labor votes.  They are manipulative wedge issues. 
 
The Brits web chatter is a threat to Labor to one degree or another.  Labor wants to paint it as un-British.  Marganal.  They hope to inoculate "their" voters from it wile chilling it at the same time.
 
Warfare is never political.  I mean "contingence oporations" are managed by professions and insolated from interfearance.

ker    Lets Do the Time Warp Again!   5/5/2009 5:51:27 PM
Austan TX this ones for you.
 
The only thing you can't do when your on the top of the political wheel is make the wheel stop turning.  I see that O would gladly trade away much ecconomic vitality (EU grouth rates will do) to ecscape to related political vitality that makes it so hard to make governing look easy.  The ride down can be as fast and hard as the ride up.  Just ask W. 
 
I could illistrate w/ a discusion of restoration litture in Briton and the rise and fall of my boy Olly Cromwell but that would be way2gay.
 
So I'll just pontificate about Spector and Rocky Horror Picture Show some more.  One last time.
 
Rocky is about America.  It begins with a version of American Gothic the painting.  1950's virgans get married and set out in life.  They get losts, run out of gas, stumbil into Andy Warhals factory and become sluts.  That is to say they become a 1970's relationship.  The master of the party inbetween is Doctor Frankenferter, "sweet transvestie from transexual transivaina" that he is.  His sexual to vestie ratio runs to the sexual.  Franky isn't just serving left over Meatloaf and building a monster with the body of a chip-en-dails dancer and the mind of a terified five year old.  Franky is building a culture and a coumunity.  The mental health community is even sucked in- take that APA.  Look to Merry S's Frankenstine and her life to get the monster reference.  Our young virgans are suduced by about every body but each other.  It's all fun and games untill some one gets wet. 
 
Frankys culture is as unsinkable as the Titanic.  He is preforming to an empty room of deck chairs as he nears the end.  A new reality (that was hidding in plain sight all along) forces him to abandon the experiment.  Suducing the virgins (and Spector a true 50's kid) didn't make for permanance.
 
Rocky is About America.  It ends with a version of American Gothic the painting.  A very alien version where the pitch fork is a deadly ray gun.  Winners have monogomas elbow sex.  AKA PDA with out the wardrobe malfuntions. 
 
So, at some pooint the happy freaks playing in the pool must answer the question.  "Are you gona pull those pistals or whistal Dixie?" That's another community movie.  At some point the counterculture must decide to become culture or fade away.  Eather way the next counter-culture is waiting in the wings to ask, "Are you gona fish those net stockings or cut jail bait?" 
 
The next next thing may not be a T.E.A. party or a new Republican party.  It might be a blue dog insurgence with in the party.  Having Spector on board may not help their.  Dose he make O look moderate or dose he make "independence" cool.
 
The new new thing may be a left that like being out of power and wants to get back to the quear.
 
Keep Austin Strange.

ker    The real work   5/7/2009 5:23:28 PM
Self disclosure:  My dad, a 6 plus generation faimly farmer, felt that every day was take your son to work day.  One result of that- when dad was doing American Legion work stuff I tended to be there.  Mostly I remember frying chicken, selling poppys hospitalized vets made out of wire and paper to buy their smokes and marking graves with crosses (WWI graves got poppys)and displaying a truck load of presentation flags in the grave yard.  My BSA troop met in the Legion hall.  I used the Legion magizine as a source for paper writing competions offended the public educator judges.
 link mag link online
 
Janet Palentano observation:  Now that the flap over profiling vets as securety risk is fallen of the meadia cycal hit parrade the real work begines.  Dems might like to organize a new from scrach group exclusivly for OIF period vets.  It would be kinder and gentaler with it's public statements.  It would be less likly to counter program Janets "gaffs." 
 
VFW/American Legon could be described as having to much of a pro-mission orentation for the Dems.  O may see things differently once he gets it that he owns hos own war now.  -But still-   Who talks for the (former) troops and where do they shop for talking points will be a key covert agenda line for team Obama and Dems congresional campain committees. 
 
Vietnam only vets organizations were tried in the past.  I put that up to some baby boomers wanting to run their own show.  "This is not your fathers veterains organization."
 
From scratch vets organizations will also be more net savvy and tap into funding streams that VFW/Legon would decline.
 
Pop Quiz:  What is the origen of the name of the vets organization Forty and Eight
------------------------------------
Hill and O just went blood thirsty, pushing PAK to "stay the cource" in war fighting.  I thought they said that staying the cource wasn't a plan.  Oh, I'm sorry that was Joe "I won't fly" Biden.  Staying the cource is an important part of any serious plan as you know.  Dems have more of a taste for confrontation with the opposition now that they have removed the enemy from the oval.  Funny that.  Will Massacre Murtha be writing PAKs ROE?  How like W will they become.  I almost heard Rummyest tones in comments about PAK nukes.  A Dem said, "We just don't know what we don't know."
 
Has the real work gotten under way?

Those who fail to learn history are doomed to repeat it.  Not quite.  No one escapes the future.  No one.  Succeeding to learn history in no way modifies the future.  Manipulating the historical education of others is a primary way people modifie the future.  So you control the future by preventing others from learning select parts of history. 
 
Will the real Gorge Orwell please stand up.  Please stand up.  Please stand up.
 
Real might say somthing like, you control the future by controling the past and you control the past by controling the present.
 
False would say, my enemys only have friends because they lie.  My enemys are running an "Orwellin Nightmare."  "Orwellin Nightmare" is presisly the kind of illdefined and oft repeated saying that Orwell dispised.  Buzz words as intelecual short cuts made him angry.  "Resetting" our relationship with Russia would motivated him to wright.

"Dam it Janet/Spector I love you."
 
Reed told Spector that Spector could retain the senority equal to that of a Senotor elceted in nighteen hundred and eighty.  Sector belived him. 
 
Ya, like the fast kids from Boston and Vegas told Marilin Monrow that they would protect her and show her a good time if she divorced the square with the ball cap.  They did for a short wile.  She went from being the cherished wife of Joe Demosheo to being the bride of Frankenstyne.  In Hollywood they call that progress.  Happy Birthday Mr. President indeed. 
 
For younger readers (this is the net) she went from being a human wife to being Borg asimilated.  What could a hot blond Borg have to do with O getting elected?  Read the sealed divorce fileing.
 
So dose Spector still belive that O and Gov. Rendell will campaine for him.  Dose he think Biden will be forethcomming with senetorial collegeality.  Dose he think Vice Admiral turned congrassmen Sestak will "let" O play kingmaker and prevent a Dem primary. 
 
When Spectors public career is over, and it may not be long, he will hope to look to have men stand up with him and share some kind and respectful words.  Those words will come from a Tom Ridge rather than an Ed Rendell.  They will come from Pennselvaninains who cling to their guns and religion rather than from those who cling to their goverment checks and framed pictures of O and his halo.  There will be Dems at the party.  They will be the U-Tube vultures there to distroy careers like they did to Lot.   
 
If the Dems intended to move towards the middle they would roll the red carpet of welcom for Spector and let him retain all his senority which would be the best campaine suport posible.  They would make him feel extreamly comfortable recruiting other RINOs to trade flags with him.  This would increase the Dems control of congress but it force them to compromise on both ends and means.  So they have laid down the smack. Moderates are just soft targets. 
 
They want wattermellons.  Well thats a bit much.
 
They want canedates in swing districts/states who play moderates on TV but never vote against the librals when it counts.  They want Clair McCascal who can sound like she talks arond the middle wile setting the left up for the kill. 
 
When Dems jumped to the GOP they had much comfort.  For one they tended to go in large groups.  For two they were changing partys but not changing ideology.  For three they could look to great lights in the GOP who had swiched party before them.  You might remember some of their names, maybe, Phill Gram and Ronald Reagan.

It's astounding, time is fleeting
Madness takes its toll
But listen closely, not for very much longer
I've got to keep control

I remember doing the TIme Warp
Drinking those moments when
The blackness would hit me and the void would be calling
Let's do the time warp again...
Let's do the time warp again!

It's just a jump to the left
And then a step to the right
With your hands on your hips
You bring your knees in tight
But it's the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane,
Let's do the Time Warp again!

It's so dreamy, oh fantasy free me
So you can't see me, no not at all
In another dimension, with voyeuristic intention
Well-secluded, I see all
With a bit of a mind flip
You're there in the time slip
And nothing can ever be the same
You're spaced out on sensation, like you're under sedation
Let's do the Time Warp again!

Well I was walking down the street just a-having a think
When a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink
He shook me up, he took me by surprise
He had a pickup truck and the devil's eyes.
He stared at me and I felt a change
Time meant nothing, never would again
Let's do the Time Warp again!

Dems worked hard to gain power by browd condemnations of W millitairy policy.  Now that they have gained power (how they really fell into it or took it is a donkey of a different color) they fall over selves figuring how to dial back the moral repungation over the things nation states do by simpaly being nations. 
----------------------------------
Gitmo will be air lifted to another (secret and undisclosed?) location, given a new name and forgotten about.  How much we will pay some nation that isn't Cuba to hide it for us is unknow.  It will be a small price to pay for power. 
 
The only thing easyer than finding a majority that hates what the leadership is doing now is finding a bigger majority that hates the alternative as soon as details are anounced.

Once a Get-less detaine is on American soil they are just one signture away from a work card and release on own reconisence.  Federal Judges can do that and there might be way for former detaines to judge shop.

MURTECH
It's good work if you can get it.
Robert Murtha Jr. nephew of Rep. Massacre Murtha said, unfortunetly some will assume my company recived fed contracts because my uncal is chair of House Apropreations Defence Subcommittee."  You don't say. 
Aparently his uncal has "unusaual powers"  militariy.

----------------------------------
We are swapping Generals in the "good war."  I am not opposed to this.  If you want stratigic and oporational flexibility that requires personel flexibility.  Civiain control of the force is a good thing.  The comander finds a General.....
 
I might wonder if the former guy was told to play one way with N.A.T.O. and because he followed the orders he recived was out of position to carrie out the new orders.  Not his fault really.  Or put another way they put a carpenter in the job before they decided they wanted a blacksmith.  It dosn't mean the carpenter is a bad carpenter.  Or put another way the actor (General) can't act their way out of a casting director (political) mistake.
 
My big point is what would the Dems in congress do to W. if this was his play.  Remember how they howled when some one replacement ws anounced early.  If Rummey did this they would call unilaterilist, abrasive and dangerious.  If I had the time I might look back at their statments on the record and recast them into this decision. 
 
Is this new Gen. commiteded to the Powell doctrian?  Remember how Dems loved the Powell doctrian when W. needed to move past it.  Is O setting him self up to start veiwing the Powell doctrian as counter productive cold war thinking now that he wants to win a war rather than prevent W from doing so.
----------------------------------------
If we need to have truth commisions lets have truth commisions.  Lets look at the treatment of suspects in city jails.  How many of them had a glass of watter tossed in their face?  How many of them were told they would be raped in confinement unless they gave information?  How many drug adits were forced to undergo detox handcuffed to a table?  How many gang members were threatoned with being dumped in rival gang turf as punishment?  It's not assasination unless you call the rival gang and give them the time and place of  the "release."   Maybe those Dem mayors need to think twice about truth commisions.  (the number of events of questionable questioning are hugely exagerated in press.  The much larger numbers of city detaines means that problems there harm many many more people.)
 
Republicans get greif on having inconcistant positions on death.  Dem hyperbaly on "torrture" put them at risk of greater inconsistance.
 
Then along came Nancy.  Wile independent voice are stating the the Congress and Executive were pushing the Agency out of it's confort zone and it was demanding clear aproval from ranking officials Nancy says they were lieing to her.  They could have gotten what they wanted by telling her what was going on. She could have filed oppinions with the Agency about her conserns.  They could have taken those conserns to the chain of command and gotten them selves out of the trap.  To give a writon oppinion about a breifing to the persons giving the breifing is in no way a violation of any law.  She could easly be on record opposing anything she opposed.  SHE is hidding behind secracy now.  She bangs a gong about oversite but only to set stage for political manovering.  When she had a duty to do oversite she didn't find any reason to make a statement on the classified record or on the open record.  She didn't even send out Amnesty International Chrismas cards that year.
 
The lady does protest too much.   
 
But then again that's what we pay her for.  Saddly she only dose it when it's easy.

ker    Nancys Newest Narrative.   5/20/2009 4:12:32 PM
Now that wiser minds have had the oportunity to corner Nancy and do her thinking for her her story has settled.  I've been waiting.  Her curent and hopefully last statement is, "I am very sorry that Bush smells so strongly of sulfer."  We have gotten to the none appology that signifies that she is attempting to stop beatting her self to death.  That's my cue.
---------------------------------------------
Accountability was what she wanted.  Then we learned that she was against it after she was for it.  She inhanced her message at the expence of her creditbility.  She did make an adhominom attack on the intelegence community that diverted attention froom her hypocritical attacks on the former administration.  She wants to avoid the back and forth.  That is the other side dosn't get rebutal in a properly formed national discource.
---------------------------------------------
Dems want it both ways, When the fact pattern and poll numbers favor them they want to slame GOP with partison attacks.  If eather the polls or facts are against them they want to shelter accrost the border in the land of "we need to end these bitter partison attacks."  CIA head was not hurting Nancy at all.  He was defending her with faint attacks and dambing his Agency with faint praise.  He was pretending to chase her back into the land of "can't we all just get along" but was really carring her there on his back. 
---------------------------------------------
Cheany is a dead ender.  Well thats what the O's staff called him.  Who are the real terrorists?  Who are the real fear mongers?  We are less safe and under shortening odds of attack says Cheany. 
 
Some men in green uniforms are saying, "we just turned some former dead enders in AG and we don't need the domestic political needs of the Comanders party spiking our war effort."  That covers photo release debate with or with out photos released----- gitless sillyness where we twist allies arms to take warm bodys off our hands wile out the other side of our mouth we sceam they are to dangerious to hold in America and too mistreated to hold anywhere----and----flapping about how you can't trust American intel even if your 3rd in line for the top job.  Other things as well.
 
Remember how we were going to win with our words and image rather than bullets?  Nancy dose not.
 
But why didn't Cheany leave town?
 
If your reading this you understand that some sources are just excuses for methods and that some methods are just excuses for speculation.  (and then you pocket the sweatners)  My methods tell me that Cheany made a sacred honor pledge to some one at Langly that he would not sit back into a comfortable secret service retirment and let his sobordenates twist in the wind.  He may have said, "we all go down together." If Cheany is all in it will get very expencive for the Dems to see his cards.  If so Cheany might burn down the whole two party system just so he could still look some spook in the eyes in five years.  He is done with it anyway.  Cheanys too old to brake rocks and to famous to put in general pop.  So if you think that the young Republicans are going to pull Cheanys leashe think again. 
 
If you go there you won't like it he says as he begins to clear his throught.  What do you want to bet O dosn't go there?

"It was a tragic display. But the CIA after the release of the opinions already went into CYA mode. They were stabed in the back and now they are being called liers to their face.  It really has hurt moral at the Agency and entire community.
"I don't know what's left of her reputation but I can say cables that went out after people were breifed ..... and were asking if we got enough information.
"We don't do anything to detaines that we don't do to our volenteers...   
"I have been in breifings and they don't have breifings to tell you techneques they are not going to use.
"Not buying that baby.
"Those guys [CIA breifers] come in locked and loaded and their buttoned down.  It's all out on breifing papers that I have seen and it's not small talk.

Nancy was ratteled.  She felt the need an untendable position with a hasty "Hail Marry" press confrence.  It was poorly concived.  It was poorly executed.  It showed a startling loss of tecnical compentency in the eyes of her alllies.  Like failed comoflage it show us just what she wanted to hide.  She did not expend any political capital to protect detainess from watterboarding but libraly used moral outrage about waterbording to acrew political capital.  The speeker lies with out skill.  She could not find the curage of her expressed convictions untill a few days after her hipocracy was revealed.  When did she know the CIA lied to her and why wait until now to make it an issue?  When her contridictions were exposed she made eradic counter accusations.  She apears snical to the general public and weak to her enemys in and out of the Dem party.  She retreated into the crassest form of culture war when O's message is to rebrand the Dem party.  Pelosi went loud, anti-goverment, cheap, crude and shrill.  She cost O a lot of progress in tone management.  She was a glairing example of everything that O needs to call the Republicans.  Every thing she calls the Republicans.  She broke the illusion. 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The worst disaster is defined differently depending on yourr interest and knowledge. 
 
Different people have different fears.
 
W saw a trap.  His worsed fear was that OBL's strong hource propeganda could come true- self fofill.  9/11 strikes might give OBL credibility to turn members of  middle eastern securety forces and opinion leaders to his side.  That could start a success leads to power leads to greater success feed back loop.  OBL claimed that he anticipated American responce and would use it to his advantage.  W needed information to gauge his responce and disarm OBL's trap.  (W was taking away excuses for failure as a way to avoid failure.) His orders were, "just do it." 
 
Some at CIA saw a trap.  What if this is all OBL's got?  What if he dosn't take over anything?  What if we win?  Today everbody only cares about the bennifits but when it's over they will only care about the costs.  That's when we get stuck with the check.  So the Agency only inhanced interegation when directly ordered to.  They asked for memos to Cover Their Agency.  They want asurances from ranking officials.  Cheany makes some promises.  They told congress what they were doing and hoped Nancy would cut funding for inhanced interegations.  (Somme agency people wanted their excuses for failure back.) Please stop me before I interegat again they said between the lines of the breifings.
 
Nancy saw a trap.  CIA wobbles between hiring stock market cowboys and Morromons.  Only thing they have in common is they are Republicans.  Only reason they hire the mormons is because Dem congress gives them hell about drinking on the job. (Morrmons: not bozz or whores. Laguage skills and history of travle to worlds armpits.) Pelosi see's the enemy acrost the breifing table.  They seam to be daring her to get offended or angry.  They want her to shut down the project.  Why?  Then they can leak her oposition and hurt her congressional campain comittee.  She wants to prove she can stand up with the guys in the big leages.  She can play hard ball.  She need to if she wants to win swing districs for the dems and get the speekership.  Thats what it's about.  She asks if the questioning is getting the information they need to protect America.  She dosn't even blink -----  for seven years  ----- then the lady sings.
 
Nancys greates disaster was the GOP holding the House majority.  Like Dems voting for the war to maintain their viability as presedencal contenders.  Then latter they said that they didn't vote for the war but just to talk about the war some more. 
 
What I don't know is if she like the idea of torrture because she could hang it around the GOP's neck when it came out.  Did she know she would campain agaist it latter wile she was being brifed on it.
-----------------------------------
 
Who dose Nancy identify with.  Well let's get at that by thinking about her son Paul Jr.  link Wikipedia
 
When Paul Jr. was in school was he the kind of guy who gave swirlys or was he the kind of guy who had his head held under watter in a tolit.  How did nancy feel when she heard the storys?  Thats the real story.

Nancy Patricia D'Alesandro Pelosi (born March 26, 1940)  So as a young party machine princess in Baltimore, Maryland in the later 1950's did she date in High School?  Did she like the guys who hassed the younger students? Was watter involved or did they go straite to the paddles.  Back then there was a paddle hanging in most class rooms or am I missunderstanding my history?  Did her daddys public workers unions ever put a citezen back in their place with a literal twist of the arm?  Did she know?  When did she learn to reconize fear of her faimly in the eyes of men?  Did daddy, Thomas D'Alesandro, Jr.,  U.S. Congressman and Mayor run a tight ship? What did she learn of empathy?

America won't be allowed to rool her own ecconomic activty any more.  It's too disruptive of the needed political statuse quoe antie.  It also hurts peoples feelings. 
 
Tom Freedman says that jobs where you just show up and work is handed to you are over.  He says if it ain't happening it's because you arn't doing it.  That's old school American rigger.  Freedman says, "Roll Your Own!"  (He was talking to parents who just bought expencive new diplomas for their kids and were having buyers remorse because of the job market.)
 
O don't play that.  He is busten his buget (and our ecconomie) to keep America institutionalized.  In a Bowling Alone nation how do you keep people voting for the solodarity party.  You get control of their jobs.  That is where they are open to "nurturing mother [state] mental frames."  Put your self in a position to take credit for the fruits of their labors.  Put your self in the position to spike their job is they go all hate speach on O by quoting Jefferson or supream court rulings. 
 
What O giveth O can taketh away.  In fact what O gives to one, O has already taken away from another.  Infact more than one real job gets taxed out of existance for every make work gov job created.  They don't tell you that because it would spoil their image.  Careful, it's only free untill your addicted.  It's heaven and hell and the savior gets to write the guest list.  It's his party and you'll cry if he wants you to.

Tom Delay in drag. Thats what they call nancy.  She says she finds the image disturbing but I'm not shure.  I see her as Mayor Daily of Chicogo in MLK drag.  Wolf in sheeps skins.  Dems need to look all MLK or else they get Freedom Democrates cleaning their conventions.  To be Daily today you must pretend to love MLK.  Now if Dems really channled the spirt they would say that we have put Black babbys and white babbys in the same buildings but not in the same classes.  They apear in the same bugets but do not in the same curriculums.  We have tracked schools.  One white one black and a mixed one in the middle used to punish the bad white kids.  Studdy hard or you'll end up with black kids in your classes. 
 
We could change this.  We could keep the same ed buget and give the administraters all the same junkets.  We could give the same kickbacks to the Dems laundered throught the teachears unions.  We could pay the teachers their rate to sit at home and sell avoin.  With just the moeny we use to light, heat and cool the schools.  Plus maybe what we spend to fuel and tire the busses we could get the education results we get today or better.  (We would still need truance centers to keep junior varcity crimanals off streets and goverment payed day care.  Thats all many kids get now.  )  With the moeny schools spend on fuel and electricity we could buy an internet device for every kid and teach H.S. on line.  We could use the same incentives that keep people paying moeny to play World of Warcraft to keep kids studding.  Math, sience, history and liturature are intrinsicly rewarding if they aren't taught like your just couping phone books.  Add to the the simpual visual reward of seeing lights glow and move on the screen when you do well.  Kids memorise all kinds of things just to see victory screens on playstations.  Then you use the insentive of competion and comrodery in an online community- World of Warcraft again.  Then you top it off by paying top preformers and contest winners.  Smart kids could even get pocket moeny for teaching dumb ones on line.
 
Why don't we do it.  Institutions need institutionalized citezens and the unions know their moeny would dry up with out the smokescreen of lots of kids smoking in the boys room.
 
So how do Dems play at liberating the people with out liberating the people.  They replace the integrate blacks into society agenda with the gay justice agenda.  Smoke em if you got em.

Rule of Law and ecconomic Freedom- Every ones for them until real moeny is on the table.  Each human has an ingrained genetic swich that can turn on and make them act like Kim Ill or Stalin as soon as they think they can get away with it.  So we allow others rights under law untill we think we can get away with it.  Then we test the world to see if it will let us be king.  Well  maybe a few can refuse the teptation. Gorge Washington being the poster boy for self restraint.  So it's rule of law and ecconomic fredom for me but whats for the people I can explote is negotatable.
------------------------------------------
When is senior secured credit not senior or secured.  When the goverments got other plans for it.  O don't like bond holders who were insisting on clear presedent and clear contract to protect rights that they bought at consiterable expence. Team O called them unpatriotic.  They shut up. Unpatriotic CEO's get unplesent calls from the oval?  Now, UAW bossses who elbowed their way into privalaged finaceal positions on the back of O influance and presure to get it done fast not fair get different treatment.  They are maybe patriotic? 
 
Now people are talking about the need to not invest in union industrys because you can't trust the contracts.  Like Michigan just became Zimbaway. 
 
 link No Runny Eggs says
"The AP reports that, fresh from a denial by bankruptcy judge Arthur Gonzalez to delay the expedited sale of portions of Chrysler to Fiat, the US and Canadian governments, and the UAW, three Indiana trust funds that held senior secured debt in Chrysler, the Indiana Major Moves Construction Fund, Indiana State Police Pension Trust (both managed by Indiana?s Treasurer, Richard Mourdock), and the Indiana State Teachers Retirement Fund will be appealing to district court to try to stop the sale and the 29-cents-on-the-dollar return for the senior secured creditors.

"The Louisville Courier-Journal puts the losses suffered by the teachers? fund at $4,600,000, the police fund at $147,000, and the road-construction fund at $896,000. The NEA, which just took over operation of the largest teachers? union in Indiana after possible fraud committed by the union?s insurance arm, can?t be happy about that.

"As a result, Treasurer Mourdock has instructed the funds run by his office to not buy any more secured debt from companies receiving federal bailout money. I guess we can now add state/local public capital to the list of capital no longer flowing to bailed-out companies."

Ker again:  So we get a two ecconomy nation with one set of investors (the goverment?) in closed shop states and another set of investors in right to work states.  Then we have competition between those two ecconomies which the Fed courts regulate under the interstate comerse clause.  Which set of partys will O's nominations be empathetic towards?  And if you need to know the particulares of the case remember the allocation of green house gass emistion allowances.
 
A companys preformance will largly rest not on efficency in the tecnical sence or in relationships with costermers and suppplyers but in relationships with congress who doles out the allaluances.  The number of allowances is in theory fixed and reduced year to year but loop holes loom over the plan.  More allauances could be congered up by paying Al Gore to plant trees in countrys where record keeping is flexable-  (Al's old friend from the White House days Joseph Romm calls "vast magority" of offsets "rip-offsets."  You could maybe borrow allauances from the future and pay them back like the national debt.  Congress could decide that the program was having to great a negetive ecconomic impact and print up extra allauances for targeted sectors of the ecconomie.  Raising campain moeny will get easyer when congress has more to sell.  Distorting the national ecconomie in line with sinical political reality or ideological pipe dreams will also be easyer.
--------------------------------------------------
Clair Micascal, Dem MO, says with heart felt compasion in her voice, "If goverment goes too far it squizes the life blood out of the ecconomy."   Then she tells about a "real conservative guy" who complains about goverment intervention and spending.  Then he says, "How could you let it get this bad."  Her point is that no one likes the medicine but no one likes the desease eather.  She tries to normalize the explosion of Goverment intervention by claiming that even the people who hate it still want a goverment fix.  She hides the fact that the way to avoid the need for this goverment fix was to not do the last goverment fix.  We arn't taking codean for arthrites we are snorting oxecotton to avoid the crash withdrawel from the recreational use of oxecotton in the past.  Her hope is that cable news veiwers will belive, like she apears too, that the goverment did the right thing but went a little bit too far.  To much of a nessary thing is an understandable mistake she says between her worry lines. 
 
I'd pay to see her internal polling on the ecconomy.  She did not sound like a pilot who was working to stay in the air.  She sounded like a pilot who was looking for a less terible peace of terain to skid accrost and bracing for impact.  She did sound very empathic.  Nice lady any way.
------------------------------------
O got a sharp lady as the end of his judicial wedge.  This is a smart move for him.  A fisrt shot that works out more options for latter apointments.  O is like Clinton before him fighting a skillful blocking action protecting the forced retreat of the dems from abortion, gun control, restrictions on religious practice (zoning rules that directed at restricting new church development, forcing churches to hire none belivers).  GOP should focuse not on stoping her assention but on redfining the reasons for her assention so that future nominations don't drift too much further to the left. 
 
O conseades that W nominations set presedent that he must give lip service too wile he works to remove them slowly. 
 
Gorge H. W. Bush nominated her only as a consession to get a few of his real picks through Dems roadblocks. 
 
Smart- libral code word for libral - she will insert reframing questions that favor libral out comes.
 
Limeted roll.  Respect for presedent and need to not legislate from the bench.  He said it because he must to protect future apointess and his poll numbers but he didn't like it.  Did she?
 
Experence of overcomming.  Empathy. Human touch.  -----  AKA a narrative of opression.  She is a Dem demografic and open to playing idenety politics in a sly way.  This sets the standard that supreams and Presedents must be hard luck kids.  How hard luck and who decides?  Well a mormon who didn't get into Harvard because he was to traditional dosn't make the standard.  This is a play on libral educational institutions narrative that they are lifting up the down troden. 
 
She was told to scail back her dreams but refused.  This nomination is O screaming out how perfect he is for the Oval and how perfect he will be for the court when he gets put down.  
 
Rule of law is fondation- I thought it was the whole deal.
Founding father relevant- dam them with faint praise why don't you.  Who need to be told they are "relevant."

She is the first hispanic nom and that's important.  No, wait, W made the first hispanic nom and the dems shafted him.  I guess some hispanics are more hispanic than others.  So Dems who blocked Miguel Estrada have protected their "right" to nominate the first hispanic by preventing the confirmation of the first hispanic. 
 
Dems love the cute puppy game.  Groupy stuff about which base ball team she likes.  Over humanization?  Well it works and in tandem with dehumanization of Bork and Thomas.... 
 
quote: ?My hope is that I will take the good from my experiences and extrapolate them further into areas with which I am unfamiliar. I simply do not know exactly what that difference will be in my judging. But I accept there will be some based on my gender and my Latina heritage.?  
 
Some questions for the nom.
 
1.  Is Judge Scalia better sutted to empathize with Italian-Americans than you?  Why not?  O gave signals that he would not nominate a libral Scalia/bomb througher. Is it proper to paint Scalia as a bomb througher?  Will you like Scalia do press and educational events to further the cause of you judicial philosopy?  Do you share his judicial philosopy?
 
2.  Wile you were doing your home work for this process you reveiwed the history of nominations before you.  Don't pretend you didn't.  Discribe the nomination process of Judge Thomas and explain to me why you should not get the same treatment.
 
3.  Is it important to have hispanics on the court? If so why not Miguel Estrada?
 
4.  Once Anglo and Saxion were seperate races.  For the magority of American history Jewish, Irish and Italian were races.  Now they are a religion or nationalitys not races. (sammydavicejr link like Irish will undergo deracefication.  Intermarage is just one of the engines of that process.  Is this a good or bad cultural transformation?  Will the Administrations strategy for your confirmation increase or decrease the rate at which Hispanic becomes a regional rather than a race discrition?
 
5. You are a powerful debator.  Use those skills to convince the American people that the rule of law and presedence are vital to American progress and improving the lives of individual Americans.  Don't the weak need the rule of law and ecconomic freedom much more than the rich and the strong?
 
6. The Dem party has taken a very strong interest in grooming you for this nomination.  If you don't know that you are unqualified and if you hope to conseal it you underestemate the intelegence of the American people.  Wile you were being groomed for this job were their any decisions you fudged to keep yourself nominatable?  Discribe them for us in detail.
--------------------------------------------------
America should prioritize protecting it's credit rating.  Thats the kind of practical act that dosn't inspire parades but makes every thing else that we do easyer.  It saves lives with out hogging the credit. 
 
Methods:
 
                 Constitutional amendement to cap the dollor float.  That is set an absolut limet on the number of U.S. Dollors that the Goverment/Fed Reserve can bring into being.  It's not the Gold Standard but it gets the job done with out manipulating the price of an element that should be conducting electricity rather than filling vaults. 
 
                 Constitutional amendement to require two votes of congress, seperated by a congressional election and at least one year, to ajust the debt cap of the United States of America.  Congress must athurise borrowing the rules for the congressional vote are subject to constitutional limetations.  A balanced budget amendment is more frequently talked about but not my style.
------------------------------------------
Expect Dems to feel the heat comming around the corner.  They will put out that they had the right idea but did just a little bit too much of it.  Right drug, wrong dose.  GOP need to come back with wrong drug, wrong time, wrong dose by a factor of 10.  Then Dems will wine but you must remember the way people felt at the time.  Then GOP, "They felt that way only because of your fear mongering and over micro miss management!"  9/11 debate with reversed polaritys.  Buy your ring side tickets now it will be a fight to tell your grandchildren about.  Then the Dems will come back with well you voted for it too.  Even Nancy Pelosi will say, "If you didn't like it why didn't you try to stop it then."  Much demonizing ensues.

What are little Ikemans?    link WikiAnswers.
 
"ikeman is a misspelled reference to the famous Nazi concentration camp leader Adolf Eichmann who was responsible for the murder and deportation of hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of Jews in Europe between 1934-1945.

- or -

A slightly derogatory way of calling someone a conservative or similar.
Refers to President Dwight D. Eisenhower; 34th president, republican. "
 
End quote:  Wow.  Ward Churchill has defenders working the laguage for him.  Eisenhower and Eichmann sitting in a tree? "slightly derogatory" my ass.
 
When you lose the intention/ends debate change the subject and stoke the method/means debate.  That is what the vairious shades of the American left are doing with the contingences formerly known as the Global War on Terror.  Anti-terrorism is the mopping up of anti-communism that we don't have done yet.  Look, the battle of Salingrad was the birth of modern "Terrorism." Hugging the germans by staying so close that German air and arty would cause (forgive me) blue on blue kills.  Not letting the civiainans out of the city so they could be used as labor or decoys or cheep probes or propaganda or what ever.  Terrorists "hug" civiaians more than combatants but it's the fruit of the same tree. 
 
Stalinists wanted to recruite muslims as another front against the west.  They handed over Great Patriotic War lessons to their not so dependable alies.  Israil was just as much a link in the anti-communist defence as South Korea and West Germany.  Librals wanted to put anti-communism in the distant past and AQ keeps bringing it back. 
Americans want to box, cell or coffin, terrorists.  This is buzz kill for the lefty pact.  They come back with sure we all want to win but you don't win by winning you win by convincing the enemy that  you care for their dignity more thanyou care for your own life.  Well they watter that argument down if their are too many unfreindly cammeras around, sometimes.  The methods of conflict have become the point of debate because that focuse favors the liberals and conservatives went flat footed with the stratigic messaging. 
 
Now, Hitler moved some away from what is now called libralism.  The left blunted that effect by fraugently re-branding him as a rightist. 
 
Then when the disinformation surounding Stalin broke down and "Uncal Joe" was seen for what he was another big flock of leftys became former leftys.  Some of them were the origanal neocons.  The left did a big redefine on the word neocon to close that lose of suport but it took way too long.  The curent revisionist mesage is that every body was bad.  Well not the Democrates so much but Ike and Churchill were nasty, of a kind with the "paper hanging corpral."  We get this most directly from the corprote lefts pet (former) conservatives.  Pat Bucannon this means you.

Patrick "Whats the GOP for if not reverse discrimination" Buchanan didn't quite say that WWII consisted of a warm gooy pile of moral equivelance.   He didn't mean that it was a meaningless bought of dead white men thugging it up as they are want to do.  (The Imperial Japanes being honnoray white men because Budists can't be racist or make shines of warships.  NAZI doctors of raceology found Japanes to be honnoray arians so why can't post-modernest deconstrutionists lump them in the same pile as well.) He didn't do that?  Please tell me he didn't do that.
 
One thing Hitler and Churchill did have incommen, they both got off on punishing Germans.
 
Please, Pat it's not too late to leave this road you are on.  Get strait with this thing. Wait too long and you'll look in a mirror and see that you have become Robert Novak.  I would save you from that pain bother.  Wake up and smell the G.E. burnning.

O's Trojan to Horse ratio is disapointing some of his suporters.  Now, as I use the Trojan Horse term remember that I think Judge Roberts was also a Trojan.  To get your kind of judge onto the court a party needs to identefy them in law school and begin making political interventions for them early.  They need to preform in ways that will leave them viable as a nom from the begining.  To day people graguating from law school are selecting the quotes for their year book with a mind towards how they will look on T.V. in 30 years.  It's the state of play.  I had admiration for Roberts dicipline and can have that same admiration for O and his nom. 
 
The only important thing is the noms philosopy of goverment.  Every thing else is windo dressing.  That in fact is the O standard. Proven by his rejection of Alito and Roberts due to their precived ideology.  He didn't even need proof of the ideology.

I know I'm not promoting it. I'm not advocating it. I know."  The bold bit was said with a little smirk like she was letting the hall in on her little game of pretending to belive what she needed to belive to stay out of trouble.  She knows what to say.  She says it.  She know the way things really work.  She works them.  Part of working them (clerks influence would scare some people if they understood it) is telling people who agree with her to get to the apelet court where they can make policy rather than determinations of fact wich by definition have no meaning out side that case.  She has an agenda and wants to train young lawyers who share it in how to advance it.  She knows she should hide that activety but slightly broke cover to teach them how cover works.  Then people who didn't see the tape can be fooled into beliving that she only mispoke a little.
 
At least she didn't say it in French.
 
Is she cival or common that's all that matters.  A wonderful person with keen intelect only dose more damage if they are on the wrong side of the real question.  Did you hear she is a Yankees fan.
 
She is right though.  Apelits do make policy.  Congress should step in and write clear law to defend their constitutional role but that is hard work and they need to get to the next meet and greet.  Complaining about sighning statements (by W) takes so much time they can't be bothered with legeslation from the bench.  Hay, don't listen to me though, I think confrence comittees are unconstitutional.

Reader Responce Hermeneutics    ( link University English Course) is the veiw that the meaning of the text comes from the reader and not the text.  Some of it's adhearetes hold that a text with a fixed meaning is an act of opresion towards the reader.  Any other hermeneutic subjegates the reader.  This is most true when the reader is a woman of color and the writer is not. 
 
I told you the constitution was a living document.  Empathy that O wants in his judges dose not exist in John Handcock.  It' exists in the reader and in this case Sonia Sotomayor.  Nice idea but... the cosntatution is not supost to be a crap shoot that sets judges free to express their unick identity as particular wonderful humans.  It is a promise made by those who wish to gover to those who were consitering submitting them selves to governace.  It is a contract between millions of people. Letting it's meaning drift with personal experiences (no matter how admirable they may be) is a recipe for disalution.

marching out of time

Take this thought problem.  The American melting pot works like fondue or fruit sald depending who you talk to.  The biggest fondue event was the de-Germanization of German-Americans during the world wars.  You could get graduate degrees in the midwest wile only speeking German before WWI.  What if the race distintion between English type west Europeans and more German like East Eurepeons was re-established by the goverment of the U.S.  None-white Hispanics (don't ask me to define it but it's a term from goverment sencuse forms) become the instant magority.  What would that mean?
