Culture
I can't think of any democrat who is more despised by the left, than "my guy Joe". Notwithstanding, who has the Obama Admin turned to as a wingman (left wing, to be accurate? If you answered, my guy Joseph Lieberman, you are spot on. Time describes the situation as follows:
I recently stopped by the liquor store and saw a large assortment of sample bottles on display. I've never been a connoisseur of fine liquor - I drink hard liquor, but usually in shots or a mixed drink - so I decided to pick up a selection of several different liquors and do a little taste testing.
I cringed, slunk down in my seat, I squirmed, I looked at the woman next to me and wondered if the agony of this movie wasn't because it was entirely being told from the young girl's point of view and, for all my adoring of women, I still had several divorces behind me and....I maybe didn't understand women at all.
The movie was gorgeously filmed; the setting 1961 London...and the Education of a Young Lady, unfairly seduced, but eager, after a fashion, as young girls are, to be complicit in her own seduction as were her parents...
“This world is empty to him alone who does not understand how to direct his libido towards objects, and to render them alive and beautiful for himself, for Beauty does not indeed lie in things, but in the feeling that we give to them.”-Carl Jung: The Psychology of the Unconscious.
“It appears that America's anti-Biblical feminist movement is at last dying, thank God, and is possibly being replaced by a Christ-centered men's movement which may become the foundation for a desperately needed national spiritual awakening”-Jerry Falwell
Precis: Psychosexual frustration is a defining characteristic of modern terrorism. Faced with the Manichaean dichotomy of religious purity and the sins of the flesh, the terrorist sublimates his libido into violence against the society which tempts him. Where the id is, there also is the ego.
Today is of course National Hump Day, which this year happens to fall on a Wednesday.
This is a link to an incendiary blog post. This is a sentence that implies agreement with the author of the incendiary post, while leaving some wiggle room in case the author turns out to be a nut.
My old stomping ground engages in a little class warfare*.
*Class warfare (klas wôr'fâr), n.: the act of the lower classes hitting back.
How about a gala-event on the Capital Steps with Thune or Brown presenting the "GOP's Big Five" with Congressional conservatives standing behind them. That's right, if any "blue dog" Congress critter would like to join them, they would be welcome; it should be a post-partisan event.
While I have some recommendations on what the "GOP's Big Five" should cover (see below), the critical aspect is to make sure that KISS is applied. That is, keep it so simple that even the main stream (the "ELITE") media can't distort it. One page bills, where applicable, are recommended.
Big Five
It just doesn't get any better than this, as Joe Klein calls Americans stupid; that is, the Americans who disagree with him.
It is very difficult to have a democracy without citizens.It is impossible to be a citizen if you don't make an effort to understand the most basic activities of your government.
It is very difficult to thrive in an increasingly competitive world if you're a nation of dodos.
