I heard it again yesterday. Someone arguing how stupid it is to claim Barack and Michelle are elitists because he was raised by a single mother and she came from working class. I have linked to this article because it contains the definition of the word.

The text message announcement scheme was a disaster. What was supposed to make the backers feel like special insiders could end up making them feel like pawns played to be schmucks.

Up front, I'll admit that I'm speculating on an unsubstantiated rumor, but timing is everything and the rumor started at the ideal time to help Hillary (the end of last week), so that is where I suspect it to have originated.

"Wah! The big fat idiot bully just called our football players sissies."

"Let's get Moose to demand to talk to that turdsucker."

"That anusface refused to see Moose and then insulted him."

Sometimes it seems that I am the only one to see the obvious. Such an occurrence happened yesterday when I saw Hillary questioning Petraeus. Now, I know that Hillary was successful in conveying the thought she wanted to.

This is proven by both the praise and criticism.

In today's' Oregonian newspaper a front page story details the blogging habits of Representative Earl Blumenhauer.

The story lists Kos and MyDD as being blogs that he not only contributes to, but monitors for every mention of his name. So, if you're writing about an issue that you feel you would like to know for sure that a member of congress actually reads, try to work in his name and it will notify his blackberry.

Imagine, even this lightwieght diary will put a vibration in his pants.

Poor Chris Matthews, he really is working for the same thing as most of the people here, yet all he gets is derision. He really wants anyone but Hilary to win the nomination and is willing to do everything he can to make it happen. His motives might differ from those positively pushing a candidate. He knows the Clintons carry grudges and his impeachment performance will get him the same WH access with the Clintons as he now has with the Bush's.

He facilitated the Elizabeth call in a way that allowed her to rehearse and edit her words. He informed Ann of the call just before they went on the air. This allowed him to claim he was fair, but not give her much time to get down her shyster lawyer spiel.

He then gave John time on the next day's show and pitched the hardballs underhand. And still you all hate him. Sometimes cats do all move together.

I recall in a writing class being told that the root of all humor is conflict. I thought "no way, humor is good feeling, mirth and all that." But try to write something funny without conflict and you will see the truth of that statement.

A week after the verdict of Scooter Libby is long enough to ponder what it might mean. I readily admit the facts I use are all memory and opinion. Much like the testimony.

Among the backroom movers of Washington was a belief in the Domino theory of spin. That is, if one aspect of your public face is shown to be false, you will start losing followers as they start to question the veracity of other spin you have been feeding them.

I have a nephew that visits me occasionally. He is a free spirit and a bit of a vagabond. One of the things we do when he comes is take his dogs and my dog out for a run. On one of his visits I noticed that his voice control over his dogs had improved dramatically. He told me this was from his adopting the training techniques of "The Dog Whisperer."

One of the things he had learned was that the behavior that a lot of dog owners interpret as the dog showing love and affection, is in fact a power play on the part of the dog.

Newt has proposed that for the 08 election, instead of old style debates, candidates have a series of one-on-one weekly 90 minute discussions.

On the surface, the idea seems very attractive. It would give voters an opportunity to see the candidates unscripted, unhandled and off-the-cuff. It could do more to diminish the power of big money than anything else I can think of.

What are the drawbacks?

First of all, from an environmental point of view, my personal opinion is that nobody needs a house larger than around 4,000 square feet. Anything bigger is not for need, but ego.

In a way, I could be considered a hypocrite. I am a craftsman and specialty contractor for a product mostly used on upscale homes. I currently have 3 homes in progress that range in size from 10,000 to 16,000 square feet. The price tags for these homes are $7mil, $9mil and $14 mil. I don't advertise and just end up working on whatever my word-of-mouth reputation sends my way.
