Enumeration seems to be the new wingnut theory

msobel — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 22:59:55 GMT

They keep on talking about power enumerated in the constitution being the only thing legal. Of course, since the Army and the Navy are enumerated, the Air Force and Marines have to go. That along would balance the federal budget.

Keep up the crazy talk, Jane

Collapsing industries would have done wonders for our GDP and employment, don't you think?

And Social Security payments would have been cut in half if Jane and Bush had their way. I challenge Jane to go tell a bunch of senior citizens and disabled citizens that she would prefer their payments be cut in half to satisfy her twisted ideology.

The payments will be there, Jane. I know that irritates you, but throwing a hissy fit isn't offering solutions, which continues to be your party's biggest problem. What's your solution Jane? You have none. You'd rather fear-monger than actually think.

this is not as bad a cycle...

...as it might appear to some, i'm thinking, and it's this kind of reframing that can help get things back on track.

Hey Amazon! Hear us yet?

You will.

50-39 is a decent lead

As long as Hickenlooper doesn't continue to tell different groups different things about the same subject, he should be very competitive. As much as I like what Ritter has done on the energy issue, he fought too often with people he shouldn't have fought.

I expect these numbers to be closer as we go through summer. Can Hickenlooper's team define McInnis first? Or will Wadhams torpedo another race with his outrageousness?

Maybe if the poll had been

conducted by a polling outfit other than Rasmussen there would have been greater validity. However the polling methodology is still inexact to some degree and the sample size is important:

The smaller the group, the less accurate the estimation.

Rasmussen Reports used automated calling to only 500 people in Colorado.

Overt politicization

of SCOTUS is the end result of having rigid ideologues on the bench. The latest outbursts by some of the most conservative members shows their real judicial temperament of making law and of discarding "stare decisis" to suit their political agenda.

Republican Senator Corker is on your side

Zappatero — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 19:04:16 GMT

and he hates unions like most Republicans:

Senator Bob Corker, who represents FedEx Corp.'s home state of Tennessee, said he will block legislation funding the Federal Aviation Administration because a provision may be added later making it easier for workers at the company to join unions.

And he's just anotheR senatoR abusing the process and preventing the normal operation of our government.

You should take your anti-union schtick to Pols where you'll get more hits.

I agree, but I find that there

are less and less of the "smart" ones in the Republicans leadership. That is where this whole train goes off the tracks.

A feature

lukeness — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 17:03:56 GMT

I think many, if not most, Republicans see this not as a bug, but a feature. I worked with a hard-right-wing man in California in 2000 who acknowledged that Dubya was, as far as he could tell, as dumb as a rope, but that just reassured my colleague that Dubya would be easily controlled by the smart people who really control things.

The "Dancers" are one of my favs.

I didn't know about the music and have not been on the ground with the statues, but I always liked them. I considered them dancers, not aliens. Felt they were appropriate for the DCPA. They seem to be happy sculptures since they have been placed where music and art are nearby.

Thanks for doing this series Dog. I am looking forward to reading & learning more.

I am with 100% about the artist

needing to take into account where the piece would be located. It is not just the viewer who has a responsibility. That said the city bears some responsibility too. They choose to put it in a location where the number of people walking by would be dwarfed by the number driving by.

thanks for commenting here.
can you tell us more about yourself - because,just like i do on other sites, I am always looking for veracity in bloggers who create accounts with a sudden ax to grind, in this case with UFCW leadership.
it sounds like inside baseball, so who are you and why are you upset with UFCW's leadership (which just changed hands this year - always touchy)

the music selection changes

stealthisbook — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 17:41:26 GMT

Periodically, somebody at the DCPA changes the tape. One time, I was treated to some decent bluegrass while relaxing under the dancers.

Agree & disagree

Tyler8 — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 15:11:31 GMT

Surely an interesting and completing experience you had. I disagree though that one has to find out how an art piece was intended by the artist. To me the point of art is how everyone interprets it in their own way. I would agree so far though that if one disses an art piece he or she should then make an effort to get to know the artists intention. Which you did in this case. Music aside, the fact is that these "dancers" are only seen from far away so not everyone can hear the music - the artist should have taken that into consideration.
