— Ace And just too concerned about #AndTheMiddleClass, I'm sure.
President Barack Obama, on a fundraising swing in Seattle on Sunday, described himself as "not a particularly ideological person" despite ongoing political clashes with Republicans over healthcare, the economy, and immigration reform....
The president called that chamber a barrier to progress in his remarks and said there would be broad consensus on issues such as immigration reform if politics were stripped away."I'm not a particularly ideological person," he said, saying pragmatism was necessary to advance the values that were important to him.
Note how Reuters sets up the President's claim with a stealth rebuttal, suggesting only the highly-ideological Republicans would call Obama ideological:
Republicans view the president as very ideological. They view his healthcare reform as a government overreach and are hoping to capitalize on its shaky rollout to keep control of the House and wrest control of the Senate away from Democrats in next year's midterm elections.
And yet nowhere in the article does Reuters acknowledge that many of Obama's and the Democrats' maneuvers -- delaying this, not enforcing that -- are, to put it into Reuters' language, designed to keep control of the Senate and wrest control of the House away from the Republicans in next year's midterm elections.
Nope! Only one political party engages in politics. And that's you-know-who. The Democrats are all about pragmatism and helpin' folks, and aren't ideological or political at all.
By the way, apparently Reuters didn't notice this, but in the same ridiculous speech in which he claimed to be non-ideological and non-political, he demanded that Nancy Pelosi be put back in charge of the House of Representatives.
“The biggest barrier and impediment we have right now is the Congress, and in particular the House of Representatives, that is not focused on getting the job done for the American people and is a lot more focused on trying to position themselves for the next election,” Obama told about 60 wealthy supporters at a fundraising dinner outside of Seattle.
That other party cares about winning elections, Obama said to group of wealthy supporters forking over $16,200 to $32,500 a plate in order to defeat the Republican Party.
Obama described himself “not a particularly ideological person,” saying he is passionate about his values but is practical about how to achieve them. He attacked House Republicans for being what he considered overly partisan.“More than anything, what we’re looking for is not the defeat of another party,” Obama said, in a non-partisan fashion.
I added that last clause. It was implied; I thought it ought to be explicity.
“What we’re looking for is the advancement of ideas. But to do that, we’re going to need Nancy Pelosi as speaker, because there’s a lot of work to be done right now.”
When I think of "fresh ideas," I think of Nancy Pelosi, and when I think of Nancy Pelosi, I think of mothballs and pee pee.
Obama hailed Pelosi, who was in attendance at Sunday night’s fundraising dinner, as “our once-speaker and soon-to-be-speaker-again.”
Yes and I'm sure she'll put politics aside as she campaigns to win a political election.
You will not be surprised to learn that the Washington Post has rushed out an article arguing that Obama is really not all that liberal at all.

"But, see, it's NOT ideological to be in favor of the right things. It's jsut... right. The only ideological ones are the evil RethugliKKKan extremists who want to murder gays, rape women, force everyone into Christian churches (most likely Catholic, so that the priests can have their pick of young children to molest), lynch anyone with skin darker than Edgar Winters', and force every person to own and use at least three guns."

Dear House of Representatives,

The GOP really lost a golden opportunity during the notorious "I Won" meeting between TFG and Congress a few years ago when he trotted out that "I'm not an ideologue" crap.
Paul Ryan should have laughed in his face. Hard and derisively. But that would have required balls - something the GOP and Ryan in particular seem to be lacking.

"Lies that capitalists tell themselves and others to justify their money-grubbing greed."
(English already has a word for that: "sophistry." But of course that won't do.)
They do NOT use "ideology" generically to mean "a system of belief." They mean it as "false consciousness."
Why yes, it IS a "heads I win tales you lose" formulation. Is that a problem?
("It hurts at first to accept it," I was informed on Twitter, when my falsity false consciousness was identified.)
Once again, the Left has their thumbs on the linguistic scale.
From an Alinskyite perspective, I should note, the point of the exercise is to wrest power away from the haves and give it to the have-nots. The reasons why are not all that important, and in fact, Alinsky didn't give a rip. He figured that all morality was just a pose to justify bad behavior so why not invent your own? If it works, use it.

The Yale story reminds me of that one bank robbery where the guy put an ad on Craigslist advertising for people to show up at some place in Colorado wearing some kind of bright orange jumpsuit. And so all these random people show up wearing similar, highly visible outfits, then along comes this other guy dressed in similar fashion who goes waltzing into the bank, robs it, runs to the nearby river, leaps on an innertube and floats away. I don't think they ever caught him. They found the orange outfit discarded on the riverbank a few miles away.
Pretty smart, you've gotta admit.

Jayne Mansfield was originally cast as Ginger Grant, but her agent turned it down, saying TV would harm her image. She should have taken the role. Although, to be frank, Tina Louise was a great helpmate during puberty.

Lyrics to the theme from The Munsters (never aired):
When you are walking down the street at night,
And behind you there's no one in view -
But you hear mysterious feet at night,
Then the Munsters are following you!
If you should meet this strange family,
Just forget what some people have said;
The Munsters may shake your hand clammily -
But they're not necessarily dead!
Behind their house you mustn't be afraid
To see a figure digging with a spade.
Perhaps someone didn't quite make the grade
With the Munsters, with the Munsters. . .

Early episodes also contained several references to Eureka Springs, which is in northwest Arkansas. All of these communities are in mountainous portions (the Ozarks) of the Southern United States.

Eureka Springs is a really cool little berg. Some of the best examples of Victorian houses I've ever seen were built there.
It used to be an early 20th century resort town for the rich and influential.

www.barackobama.com/health-care-holidays
PLAN YOUR TALK
Take a moment to plan when, where, and how youÂ’ll talk to your family about health insurance.
PICK A TIME
Start early: Don’t wait until the last minute—be sure to start the conversation early! Integrate the talk into family time: Take advantage of downtime after meals or between holiday activities to start your talk.
THINK ABOUT HOW YOUÂ’LL BRING IT UP
Make it personal: Be honest about your feelings and why this is important to you.
