Things that are stupid.\u00c2\u00a0 The wikipedia article for Kesha Rogers<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 I think the article should probably be about five sentences in length, commiserate with her relevance.\u00c2\u00a0 I do draw your attention to the Pete Olson quotation balanced off with the Gerry Birnberg quotation –\u00c2\u00a0 Pete Olson is guilty of simple partisan baiting, and I suppose good for him — the Harris County Democrats should be looking around for a replacement to Gerry Birnberg for coddling a cult.<\/p>\n

Interesting to see this item about Zeitgeist Exposed (with participants like Larouche)<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 There was a Zeitgeist Event Showing a week ago.\u00c2\u00a0 I thought of attending.\u00c2\u00a0 I didn’t.\u00c2\u00a0 I guess my mind remains un-re-melded.\u00c2\u00a0 Really, all I would have provided if I’d looked and posted on it is a sense of \u00c2\u00a0 Local color<\/a>.:<\/p>\n

Paul Glumaz, a balding middle-aged man whose booming voice carried a trace of an East Coast accent, set up a table festooned with pamplets and posters, one of which had the words “impeach now” emblazoned below a portrait of Pres. Barack Obama wearing a Hitler-style moustache.<\/em> As a strong breeze ruffled the political literature on the table, Glumaz laughed and described some of the hand gestures he’d seen from drivers of passing cars.”I’ve been getting a lot of birds and some thumbs up,” he said.
\nGlumaz described his trip to Vashon was part political mission, part tourism.
\n“I have a friend here, and he’s going to show me around tonight,” he explained.<\/em><\/p>\n

When I saw the headline blare “There is Only Thing Larouche’s Enemies Are Obsessed With: What is Lyndon Larouche Going to Do on Saturday?”, I was confronted with a question I had never considered.\u00c2\u00a0 This was for last Saturday, and I thought about the question.\u00c2\u00a0 Would Lyndon Larouche wake up early, say 6 am ish, to catch Rocky and Bullwinkle reruns<\/a> — or am I transplanting my eight year old self to him?\u00c2\u00a0 I quickly found myself terribly uninterested in the question.\u00c2\u00a0 I suppose you might want to know what I did last Saturday?\u00c2\u00a0 No?\u00c2\u00a0 I didn’t think so.\u00c2\u00a0 I could have given you the answer, “Went to a Zeitgist Showing”, but alas I didn’t bother with that.\u00c2\u00a0 What did Larouche do?\u00c2\u00a0 I half suspect he’s dead now and the org has hired a actor to do these random monthly descents.\u00c2\u00a0 But, otherwise — I suppose he’d do some prep work of some variety for his roughly monthly appearance before a camera for live distribution over the Internet.\u00c2\u00a0 Then he’d deliver his performance.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Nobody would notice except, I suppose, for TimeForTruth<\/a>, who would dutifully fill me on where his meanderings are leading.\u00c2\u00a0 I have no idea why he’d post there — I’ve posted three times more and once directly addressing TimeForTruth.<\/p>\n

Whatever we can say, they’re scurrying about inserting Larouche into current events.\u00c2\u00a0 When they speak that Obama’s “Obsession with Larouche”, they look to the story of Rahm Emanuel speaking of “fringe groups” <\/a>and assume they’re speaking about them — last time I saw them mentioned to the tea party they were pegged as at “the fringes of the Tea Party”.\u00c2\u00a0 (Here they are<\/a>!) When they hear some Republicans speak about the “Ides of March”<\/a>, it must be coming from them — or maybe not<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 Hell — they’re taking credit for Scott Brown’s victory.\u00c2\u00a0 In the end, Obama seems rather “obsessed” with passing his health care policy.\u00c2\u00a0 I suppose I can speak luke-warmly on it — I would like to say we can do better than this bill, but I guess by definition we can’t.\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t know what to do with that Overton Window<\/a> thing — every time I look around people I hear these things about “Death Panels” and a tangeant about Abortion.\u00c2\u00a0 Oh well.<\/p>\n

Next election coming up — Summer Shields against Nancy Pelosi<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 The most talked about political ad of the year involves Demon Sheep<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 I think for their political ad in this race, the Summer Shields campaign might want to look to it for inspiration.
\nOf course, I already have two ad proposals for Rachel Brown against Barney Frank in my head.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ll put them down one of these days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
