Book Review: Speech-less: Tales Of A White House Survivor By Matt Latimer
2009-09-23 02:37:00 By Loyd Eskildson Finding himself with a law degree and lured by the upbeat themes of the Reagan revolution, Matt heads to Washington, D.C. and snares a series of jobs with powerful figures on Capitol Hill, beginning as an assistant for Senator Spencer Abraham (R, MI) for $25,000 in 1996. Two moves later Matt was with Senator Kyl (R, AZ), and then off to Secretary Rumsfeld's office as a speech writer. En route, Matt drops dirt on several prominent senators (Abraham, E. Dole, McCain) for various reasons - detached/MIA, dumb, terrifying temper, and briefly comments on Ann Coulter (likes). Latimer was surprised to find Rumsfeld's hands tied on hiring decisions involving relatively low-level and reportedly less than stellar performers - the White House (Karl Rove) apparently had a long reach. Latimer was frustrated for a time by their Machiavellian machinations blocking him from meeting regularly with Sec. Rumsfeld. Latimer reports that he could have stayed with incoming Se...

Fallout from President Obama’s speech
2009-09-09 20:08:00 Yesterday was crazy. The first day back after a long weekend, I tried to motivate my exhausted kids to hustle in the morning and instead ended up cursing about teeth in need of brushing, toilets in need of flushing, and one mommy in need of medication. Crazy. After dropping my boys off at school, I fought traffic jams next to psychopaths who make New Jersey drivers seem well-adjusted. Got to work and spilled hummus all over the entrance to my office building. Bent down to clean it and flashed half the men inside. Two complained. Five minutes later, I encountered a roach near my desk the size of a small rat. Left work and drove to the post office only to find a forty-five minute line in front of me. While waiting and daydreaming about happy hour, I overheard two young women discussing the “indoct-eran-nay-tion&rdq-uo; of our youngsters. These southern belles who stay at home with their kids, spending hours engaged in stimulating conversations about how to fake an orgasm, long to...
Review of Obama's school speech
2009-09-09 02:36:00 - When I'm not blogging, I'm a high school teacher. I decided to show Obama's speech in my class. Why, if I mostly disagree with the president? First, he's the president of the United States and deserves some attention. Second, it wasn't a federal mandate, in which case I would have resented the imposition. Third, Americans have precious few unifying events and non-political presidential speeches can be one of them. The speech itself was a triumph- Obama at his best. The theme was perfect, even conservative. It was a speech that could have been delivered by any president in our history, proof in itself of its non-partisan nature. The liberal stereotype is that kids can't learn because of some material deprivation. Obama said that no matter how much we spend on education, it's the kid who has to allow the knowledge to enter his brain. Learners are the final barrier to knowledge, so to speak. This is something I've been saying to my classes for years ("you have this...

Asymmetric obtains advance copy of Obama speech to schoolchildren
2009-09-08 13:03:00 Obama address to nation Asymmetric has gotten a hold of Obama's speech to the nation's children. It's been significantly revised from the original (below): Children of America, I am your president. Ready? 3-2-1: Implement Operation Hope... Your teachers should be out of the class and those of your classmates not down for the program should be restrained. OK. Let's begin: Children, you will live in the future for a long time- longer than anybody else (which makes you more important than your parents, if you think about it). You want a tomorrow in which you won't have to worry about school, health care, mp3 downloads, food, intermittent internet access, unwanted births, skating rights, mommy-style jeans, pollution, dead animals, super-hot climates where you'll never be able to wear cute sweaters. Not only that, you desire a hopeful world that will give you stuff in exchange for a little hope and fairness on your part. It's your right. But some people don't want to gi...

It is analogous to the two stages of radar, namely, search in order to detect a target, and subsequently, lock-on. With speech on

Oak Park is no place for speech that gays don't like

The Buddhist Concepts of Right Thought and Right Speech and the Perception
2009-08-04 00:34:00 Our thoughts color our perception of reality. Whatever we see is filtered through the lens of thought and it often becomes twisted and transformed into something else. The great German philosopher Kant reminds us that we can never see ?how things really are?, all we are left with is our version of how things may appear to us yet it would never be on purely scientific criteria. Even science then would be limited by our undeniable subjectivity.Yet all of this is not a real problem. It often can be used to our benefit. Existentialism underscores this unique capability of ours something that as Descartes has observed truly sets us apart from other kinds of beings: Our capacity to create meaning, our ability to look for an underlying reality, the reality behind the veil of reality.Religions have dealt with such ideas extensively. Whether it be the ?City of God? as idealized by St. Augustine, or ?Maya?, the world of illusion of Buddhism, or the Nirguna Brahman versus the manifested Saguna...

Sathya Sai Baba?s Slurred Speech Due To Old Age. ?Eenadu? News Report
2009-08-02 12:26:00 That Sathya Sai Baba has made egregious historical and scientific blunders does not inspire confidence in his statements about pre-historical events. See my article: Huge Sai Baba Gaffes Various commentators have pointed to Sathya Sai Baba's 'turkey throat' and other signs of ageing in him, his episodes of falling over (one of which I have observed at quite close quarters along with many shocked observers at a Puttaparthi darshan), his uttering of inanities, his fits of crying, his walking round and round in circles, his blank stare and mask-like face, and so on.

Obama Affirms Evil, Sinister Anti-Jewish Racism in Cairo Speech
2009-06-04 14:49:00 Obama's Cairo speech reaffirmed the long-standing anti-Jewish racism of US State Department policy by opposing and denying the Jewish right to live in parts of the ancient Jewish homeland -Judea & Samaria- recognized by the international community in a series of legal acts and decisions as parts of the Jewish National Home.The United States does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements. This construction violates previous agreements and undermines efforts to achieve peace. It is time for these settlements to stop. This is an evil, sinister position. It threatens the right of Jewish residence in all countries throughout the world. It ought to be condemned by decent people everywhere. Note that Obama used the word "legitimacy" rather than "legality." That is because the State Department is aware that the Jews have a legal right to live in those places, although these Judeophobic bigots don't want Jews in those places.Again, bear in mind that Obama's position i...
