I will reiterate that Mitt Romney will not be the nominee
An Irate Mildred Purse Can Smell the Koch Brothers When They Lie
I Love It Dumping on Obama and Lying About It
News Desk: Funders Behind New Anti-Obama Ad Blitz Stay Hidden : The New Yorker:
'via Blog this'
These people have no ethics, no conscience, and a great capacity for bald-faced lies. It is inconceivable that the Kochs are not elbow deep in the pile of offal that they are putting out. It is impossible that they have not chosen swing states for their noxious ads to run. If they can sleep at night that is proof that their consciences are in escrow somewhere. The only redemptive thing about this is that the lies are starting bright and early, in time for the people to catch on. The Kerry killing the Hard Right conducted was just a warm up. This will overreach and hopefully it will create an electoral tidal wave that will roundly humiliate every criminally-minded individual engaged in this Big Lie effort.

One reason for ShortFormContent is that a salient longer piece exceeds the capacity of a blog. The link above takes you to an informative piece on the eclipse of Las Vegas by Macau. Good on the New Yorker.

For finally it was not I but we
There comes a time when etched upon a face
The weight one sees there is humility
A face once flecked with worry renders grace
For finally it was not I but we
For finally it was not I but we
Make people happy others first
Make people happy others first
There are at least 100 ways
But all of them stem from one thing
Believing that it makes your days
Charles Sanders Peirce renamed pragmatism pragmaticism
Because Peirce perceived that the thought he had invented had been
Distorted by William James and others
He renamed pragmatism pragmaticism
And proceeded ignored and misunderstood along his
Metaphysical way
Where he remains substantially ignored
Though doors to him are opening today
Charles Sanders Peirce and Barack Obama Pragmalogicians
Logic is ontology
It dwells on brute fact
That is Charles Sanders Peirce and that is Barack Obama
Between idealism and pragmatism there is no difference
Call it pragmaticism if you wish
Or pragmalogic
As Peirce contended Obama believes
Which is why he is a different President
Why he won and perhaps will win again
And why he may have been onto reality
Pragmatism to the New York Times is caution
Pragmatism to the New York Times is caution
Idealism to the New York Times is take a chance
But ideal and pragmatic are the same
A point Barack Obama understands
Grow up you churches grasp the master's words
Grow up you churches
Grasp the master's words
The world is in your hands
and it is perishing of oil glut and climate change
and privilege supported by know-nothings
who do not believe
that Jesus thought we had enough in us
to become responsible
That is a sad meditation and a mouthful
And sadly creedal religion has the answer down
"Make a religion of a way and a charity of love
And nothing has to change"
But it does
And it will
This is the millennium of values
to replace the virtues of Aristotle
which have served us mainly ill
The values are stated for all to see above
They may be inferred as
Abba's way
To repeat
Tolerance
Helpfulness
Democracy
The values of the Beatitudes rule
You can figure out what Jesus was up to
by noting whose happiness he was concerned about
by noting whose happiness he was concerned about
How the churches can condone war
and aid and abet conflict is not hard to figure out
and aid and abet conflict is not hard to figure out
From the start the temptation was
to view all this as wimpy impossible
to view all this as wimpy impossible
It was easier to turn Jesus
into the figure Satan evoked in the temptations incident
into the figure Satan evoked in the temptations incident
and endow him with mystery and miracle and authority
and have done with it
and have done with it
And that is essentially what the church did
and still does via creed
and still does via creed
and priestly prerogative and showy evangelical Jesus talk
But now as with Gutenberg the door is opening to truth
now spoken not by those who have the official stamp of certification
But by the faces and chants of those around the world
who seek to make peace by
facing down the principalities and powers
who seek to make peace by
facing down the principalities and powers
and understanding that is finally values that tell
and that the values of the Beatitudes rule
Abba's chosen children are all peacemakers
Abba's chosen children are all peacemakers
Conscious killing is wrong save in self defense
And then in strict proportion to wrong done
Not eliminating mercy in the face of violence
Peacemakers have strength and courage
They defend us against global suicide
The only real honor lies in being one
Conscious killing is wrong save in self defense
And then in strict proportion to wrong done
Not eliminating mercy in the face of violence
Peacemakers have strength and courage
They defend us against global suicide
The only real honor lies in being one
A Semiotic Inquiry
I say to the sign man Sir please say
Could the mind not start and stop a sign
And if a sign might simply be a word
Could not a word transcend all time

Who just might do what they say
Beware our resultant fates

That's not the right question I hope you agree
