Is Obama like Twobama and Bushama? and More for Thursday, May 21, 2009

Bushama image on image licensed under Creative Commons by Image Editor

Not to raise too much ire, contempt or otherwise non-warm-fuzzies, we ask the question today (in this posting and in our sister publication - The Anti-Zen Dictionary): is President Obama really two people? Not clinically, but is his private/political persona different from his public/political persona? That is, when you or we see him on the public dais, is that the Wysiwyg? (Or - God help us - another new word - the Wysiwygama...aughh).

This sort of thing happens quite often in public figures (and private figures) and their personalities - sometimes with disastrous consequences. Look at the late Richard M. Nixon, wandering the halls of the White House until the wee hours of the morning talking with the presidential portraits of Washington and Lincoln? Is Obama doing the same? - we hope not. (Stewie: Yes we do! Yes we do!. Handbook: Stop it!). Look at Paul Rubens and Jimmy Piersall - to name some really disastrous consequents. Nah! That could never happen! (This is all just Reductio ad absurdum. No, honest! Really, it is!).

Just what the hell are we talking about? We're referring to the "breaking news" seen on Rachel (last night, Wednesday, May 20, 2009) regarding a report from the great Michael Isikoff. Mr. I. delivered a report on Obama Secret Meeting w Human Rights Groups wherein he (Mr. I.) revealed that a decidedly two-sided "argument" took place between O-POD and these groups. Sorry, we don't think the groups were specifically named, but we're ready to bet that the ACLU is at least one of them due to their current interest in Gitmo. (We're hoping AI is one of the others).

To us, what was most interesting, were the story captions inserted OVER the "crawl", like: "Obama and HR Groups Clashed in Secret (White House) Meetings", "Obama Gave No Ground on Military Prosecutions and or Torture Prosecutions" and "HR Member Tells Obama He's Letting Bush's Policies Become His". Wow! Shock and insult! Talk about spitting in the President's eye! Whew! Mr. Obama is expectedly giving his explanations today (perhaps you've already seen it...).

Of course, forewarned is forearmed. Perhaps Mr. Obama had the foresight and the information to see that his largely Democratic Congress was not going to support him on the promise to close Gitmo. He knew he had no support on this one front and chose to go it against the tide? He doesn't have to worry about swimming against this tide, there are plently of life preservers in this version of the Presidential Swimming Pool (albeit, an ocean-sized swimming pool...). We may all be treading (figuratively) in the waters off of Gitmo for some time.

Our Passions to Radio Shack, Passions About US Economy and More Public Passions for Wednesday, April 29, 2009

"7345 - Moscow - Bolotnaya Proshad - Children are the victims of adults' vices - Poverty " image licensed under Creative Commons by thisisbossi

OK, we've decreased our content, but our passions for our country and other issues seem to be growing. But, we want to say that we view these as our passions and not our grievances, complaints, woes and so on. We are trying to stay positive about the course of this nation and its inhabitants.

The falling economy, the pandemic, the killings in Mexico, waterboarding, torture do continue to be our passions and we are hoping that these things can be reversed. And soon, but it doesn't seem too likely. Some of these things are, of course, irreversible. Like the horrific loss of life in Mexico and the Narcowar. We are hoping that the killings can be slowed - if not stopped altogether. Mexico has enough problems with the influenza outbreak, poverty, the recent earthquake and the like. We share our passion for Mexico for one of our friends who has recently come to stay here in the USA. He has grandparents and other loved ones in Mexico - and we share his passions and concerns for them. If you are reading this, and you also have loved ones in Mexico, we share your passions and concerns for them also. If you have any reason to contact us regarding this, please feel free to do so.

We are very passionate about the political move by the enigmatic Senator Arlen Specter of yesterday. We fully realize that there are multiple political calculations (we call them specterlations) on all sides of this move. What we don't understand was the headlining of the link Obama welcomes Specter to Democratic Party and not the original story Veteran GOP Sen. Specter switches parties on MSNBC.com. Why is MSNBC (or NBC) so conspicuous at using the speculative (?) device Reductio ad Obamum? Do all roads lead to President Obama - has he truly become the Alpha and the Omega in the eyes of MSNBC/NBC? Or, have they become truly desperate?

Witness the desperate challenge by Keith Olbermann to Sean Hannity? We like Keith and Sean, but why press the waterboarding argument to such extremes? It is immoral and unethical for both to even consider using the technique of waterboarding on the other, even if its to demonstrate the fact that it is a form of torture - or not. We quote Wikipedia "Waterboarding is a form of torture...". Therefore, it is not only immoral and unethical to suggest the practice of it for this purpose, it is also illegal. We ask that Mr. Olbermann and Mr. Hannity cease and desist from this ridiculous distraction, even though we recognize their passion for it. We have ceased and desisted from watching their programs out of our passion for the abandonment of such a topic.

We are still holding out our hopes that the flu Pandemic just won't become such. If it truly were a Pandemic, we expected to have a thousand fatalities by today. Ten thousand next week. And a million or more after that. It just doesn't seem to be going to such extremes. But, we keep making fervent, frightened prayers that it doesn't go that way. As we mentioned previously, our senior editor lost an aunt (actually, she was a great-grandaunt) in the 1918 influenza pandemic.

Speaking of our senior editor, he too has been crushed by this economy. He has lost his passion for his own recovery from his own economic strife and has just about lost all hope. But, we are passionate for his recovery - even though he his stricken ill, grown weak and trodden under bone-crushing poverty, living well below the suggested $ 21,200/limit for a family of 4 suggested by those in authority. Which leads to our passion about the Radio Shack employee assaulting a customer. Our editors would never assault a customer, yet Radio Shack finds us unfit for employment. We are very passionate about the hiring of non-violent personnel. We urge you to contact them in the hope we can get them to hire more prudently.

Radio Shack Employee Punches Customer

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/04/29/ap/strange/main4976998.shtml?tag=main_home_storiesBySection

We have many issues re. this assault:

1) Since when is it policy for Radio Shack to assault customers over a return?
2) WE have never assaulted a customer over a return, yet we can't even get a return phone call from Radio Shack for our job application. Why is this?
3) Why would Radio Shack prefer to hire violent offenders over non-violent personnel? We can't understand this.
4) Please do respond to these inquiries as we will be posting them on the internet.
Thank You.
