Why I Favor Newt Above Paul, Santorum & Romney

WAS: The Four GOP Defectives in Order of Their Evil Potential


Rick Santorum makes McCain look like a moral paragon - scariest

Ron Paul has a  Dickensian agenda that bears no connection with reality - implosive

Mitt Romney has descended from being a merely exploitative corporate raider to bing a person willing to become a right wing puppet - unworthy, W-like

Newt Gingrich rivals most American males in conventional sinful behavior but his record
nevertheless manifests a capacity to understand that negotiation lies at the center of effective governance - Newt's the best of a questionable lot

Don't worry Paul we'll make it through

Is Our Economy Healing? - NYTimes.com: "And if this year’s election brings the wrong ideology to power, America’s nascent recovery might well be snuffed out."

After we have our nascent recovery
We'll reflect that we indulged the luxury
Of stretching our vaunted grandiosity
Almost the breaking point

Is this the year of the grass roots?

Gingrich and Romney Trade Jabs as G.O.P. Race Rolls On - NYTimes.com: "Their immediate battleground is Florida, which will hold its primary in eight days. But their intensifying duel was also shaping up as a proxy battle in the fight between the Republican Party’s establishment wing — in favor of Mr. Romney — and a grass-roots insurgency that, for now at least, seems to be coalescing around Mr. Gingrich as a no-holds-barred opponent to President Obama in the fall."

Is this the year of the grass roots
Slogging along in well-scuffed boots
Confounding the establishment
Wondering where their power went
Or is it that the media died
Or ended up transmogrified
Since we have our own megaphone
And we feel a bit less alone


We say perfection’s unattainable


We say perfection’s unattainable,
I say negotiation can succeed;
Perhaps I am the one who’s cynical!
I merely underline this sad deep need.
For Abba’s way is simple helpfulness,
Devoid of all religious cant and show;
Unassuming and infused with happiness,
A cynic can be generous, you know!

Chronology is what we live within
But we have minds and they begin
To conjure things that we might win
To take our minds off what we're in

Google should include event time, place and channel in its results

The Uphill Battle Of Social Event Sharing: A Post-Mortem for Plancast - TechCrunch:

'via Blog this'

Yesterday I was trying to figure out when the Giants game was. Every query I wrote was unsuccessful. Not true. About the tenth query finally got me to a site that had the information I was seeking. Google should provide answers to such obvious questions in some simple form. I despair of writers and content providers doing the old who what where when why and how thing.

ShortFormContent is a filter of sorts

Twitter acquisition confirms that curation is the future — Tech News and Analysis: "Twitter made an interesting acquisition on Thursday, when it bought a young Canadian startup called Summify, a company whose service (as its name implies) was designed to cut through the noise of all those social-media streams and summarize the content that matters. More than anything, this is perhaps the single biggest hole that exists not just in Twitter but Facebook and other services as well: the need to give users more ways of filtering the massive amounts of information that keep flooding their activity streams and other social-media inboxes. There are so many ways of producing and sharing content but so few good ways of filtering."

Golly, I never thought of myself as a curator. But then again I never got bought.

Cyberspace the engine of the newer world

Cyberspace the engine of the newer world
Nested in the world once made by cars
Soon the outer layer vanishes
One more step toward universe unfurled
