Occupy Congress Until Obama Jobs Bills Are Brought to A Vote
I put on my Polonius hat for the President
I always thought Polonius got a bad rap
in addition to a fatal stab from Hamlet
He is the author of some timeless if shaky advice
like to thine own self be true
But I sometimes think of myself as a Polonius-sort
a mixed bag as it were
rather too verbose to be taken seriously
In any case I penned the following in November 2010
You can judge if it was salient
I have rescued it from my Yahoo Voices account
which is currently on its last legs

We are now in a very delicate situation, Mr. President.
The GOP continues to condone a near-criminal assault on you.
The GOP has not repudiated racism.
The GOP Court has made elections a sale item.
And the country does not seem to care.
Self-interest reigns. The government remains subject to criminal GOP attacks.
So what do you have to do to survive?
The first thing Sir is to smile.
That is how John Wayne would deal with a similar indignity.
But we would know that behind that smile is some raw power.
Smile and exercise raw power Sir.
This is why you have Plouffe at your side.
He can see the fissures and soft spots.
Stop seeing politics as something stupid people do
when they are not serious.
It may be stupid but the GOP does it 24/7 in its sleep.
And we have to politic back.
So get political Sir.
Have Michelle invite Susan Eisenhower to tea. Show up.
Confuse people.
Use your power.
Make nice to the media.
Put yourself out for the next reporter who has an illness in the family.
Start publicizing the two hundred things you have done
from day one
that no one knows about.
Give exclusive interviews to enemy journalists.
Start having fun playing politics.
Rub on some FDR dust.
And remember Sir you are just marking time.
There is light at the end of your tunnel.
That may be optimistic.
But never believe anything optimistic Sir.
Assume the worst.
Cyber-community 101 - Lesson Four Turbines are the future
You can access prior lessons at the link above.
Cyber-communities are imagined settlements of the future
These nested lessons spell out the elements
Cyber-communities are dense enough
to enable viable economies
Cyber-communities are walkable and sustainable
Cyber-communities possess all elements of city living
Cyber-communities integrate residence work
recreation health and education
Turbines seem to me the most likely candidates for
generating the energy needed to make these communities
independent and sustainable
Turbines can be powered with both solar and wind
Turbines can be so pervasive and attractive
they make wind farms look like what they are
a bad and ugly investment
We need to build proper cyber-communities from scratch
Imagine a giant Stonehenge-like matrix whose vertical stones
each house 40 turbines
Simple!
Energy is distributed to all who live and work in the community
Surplus is saved or shared
Most thought about this is hampered by our worship of oil and car
These retro things dictate current sad sprawl design
Cyber-communities are an evolution to sustainability
with teeth
and an eye to global leadership
in the thought department
The Seven Giants of Creeping Totalitarianism
I humbly thank John Boehner / For all the good he does
Re-introduced July 7, 2012
I hope all who enjoy these will join me in beseeching @speakerboehner to pass Obama jobs acts still pending before the house. The examples of rhetoric below were previously published on Yahoo Voices which deemed my writing and graphics at odds with standards set forth in their Terms of Service.

Irony
I humbly thank John Boehner
For all the good he does
When he's out on the grassy links
I feel a happy buzz
Synedoche
Ship drifting languid
Filled with wealthy passengers
Toward the waterfall
Metonymy
Beware the gavel of the ghoul
Lest it become your guillotine
You have been played for a rank fool
Run swiftly from this ghastly scene
Metaphor
Like Cyclops Speaker Boehner comes
And fixes you with his one eye
Inside the giant laughs aloud
Outside he seems to cry
