The `~Flying Pink-Flamingo Salon.~`
The day has been 'one-of-them' days. I wanted calm, and it was all Helios broke loose. It was a burnt cheesy egg-omelet start-out, and this 'essay' (?) has me rocking on a wood-hobby-horse motion chair.
When I think I shall-not-comment for three-day and allow for that a Yom-long a time, twiddle-thumbs d'dada, the surge-rage that percolates my-disgust NEEEDS a hurry-er WAY to get-a'Trans-substantiated, experience, longing for something more Sweet...
I'm going to cheat. How? Take 3-crayola crayons. A red, yellow, and blue Crayola. Enlarge the electronic gadget in front of me to 6-foot-Big. I can draw 3-O's. Each colorful Circle-O has a different color. Pin-Point each color-Crayola `~O~` color at stand-erect height position.
Then, slowly walk quietly up to the web-screen in front of our 'very-nose' and place MY/YOUR nose upon the Yellow-O-color. Put the Left-hand at the O-red-color-Circle. Put the Right-hand at the O-circle which is colored pretty-Blue. There are no rules. You can ignore this as a 'bad' or 'good' IDEA. Stupid? Listen to the "news" if you wish to maximize national stupidity. Insanity.
It might work? Personally, a Pelican who has a rowdy-young-in' who rebels and flaps both rt/lf wings in anger and inadvertently Flaps a wing that offends by hitting a mature Pelican is in Big_trouble in nature's world. The parent-Pelican, in nature, strikes back at the wayward-bird if the flay-wings strike out in rage at a more mature Mom/dada Pelican.
It gives me no pleasant sensation of feeling to read about these neocon's dumb-goose's. A remember a true story of a right-wing Harley-Hog motorcyclist who thought he was 'tough.' He could be so cool with an American flag, or a POW flag draped on his leather bike thread 'rags.'
What was horrible, a nature's goose flew and 'hit' the boker full force. A goose ran into him full-force into his chest as he barreled down the highway. Did he get hurt? He got dead! Did they serve cooked-goose at the funeral wake? No. What? Halibuts shad, kosher-baloney, and holy Mackerel. What? Not even Bahrain baloney? No, they seved up paper platters of holy Swiss cheese on rye. If a mere $-1oo-million dollar carrot-cake soup with a dianond in each bowl...to tip-profit the crooks, okay... But No. Just more feathers and blood money for bloodshed in the Middle East? The DC mouth-spokes false-emissaries I heard today about a good "surge" thrust is necessary id Holy-dead-duck creepy news to us? Politicians have a flat-tire mentality. What tire is flat? The right front and the left rear. Clunker-brains.
A say the non- sensicalness is getting too extreme. Can we have a false-name day at the Salon? We can wear holy black rubbers, caked with manure. We can wear PJ's inside out. If we feel rage, we can put our human-Nose up close against the web-screen until it 'touches' 'it' and we stop scratchings the Howie-hole while shuffling our elephant toes? We can stretch forth both hands, left and right, to touch The Circle-Holes of red, blue, and yello. Circles may help a healthy rage to subside? That's a better IDEA than waiting 3-days? Om-Yom, DAT's a long time to wait.
We could change our names (nick-name).
For Example: W.T. can PLACE HIS FIST ON HIS JAW AND be mR. cHINSAWman. Tom Paine can sit in a Think-pose on a Salon bench.
A well spoken Physiologist can be Miss Phoenix. If we smell unpleasant odors, we can be Fred-Flintstones, Holy Afghan poppies, or even spell Kimberly-backwards-ylrebmkim?
'Ole Cuss Kurtz etc., are a dangerous strange-male species. They pour red blood of innocent people and every women of the world should be forbidden to go near them Deny 'um any touch, affection, or coitus.
Wow. A few rotten eggs stink worse than a dead-3-day 'ole fish that's left ungutted.?! O, we may want to back-off from immediate 'letter' correspondence by doing somersaults before we get-into a big-Pomp of a Peacock fight? What a gaily wild day. Thanks.

I'd love to be wrong....
I can't speak for anyone else, but I would love to be wrong. I'd love it if the surge works wonders. I'd love it if sending in troops, made life better for everyone they come in contact with. I'd love it if our Iraq strategy was the greatest thing since sliced bread and it was all GW and Karl Rove's magic touch that accomplished it.
But you see, I have this reality problem.....

Mistah Kurtz
Howard Kurtz (whose photo illustrates the term "media whore" in the dictionary) is of course entirely correct. Why should the members of the ruling class have to recite their pedigrees to the proles when they're only sending each other party invitations and thank you notes via the company newsletter? Isn't there some U.S. version of Debrett's that a curious commoner could use to find this information? As if anyone really cared, as Kurtz plainly doubts. After all, do they and their friends try to read your mail or eavesdrop on your cellphone calls?
It's not as if R. Kagan/F. Kagan/K. Kagan/whoever Kagan were publishing anything actually intended to be debated, or even discussed, by the "public." Are college yells true or false?

William Timberman:
6) And of course, the old standby, irregardless.
Me, I quite like overkill. Hence: disirregardless.
There are others, of course -- lots and lots of others. It's a good thing I'm not a prescriptive grammarian, right?
Me, two!

On a related note...
I have asked Howie the last two weeks why CNN refuses to disclose that James Carville works for Clinton when he goes on TV to opine on the Presidential race. He doesn't seem to want ot answer even though this seems like precisely the sort of question a "media critic" would want the answer to himself.

OT- Let's talk about ~ZEX~.
Just teasing.
A loss of vocabulary is normal. The "word of the year" for me is 'plutoed. Let's NOT be 'plutoes' and fooled. Pluto was downgraded, demoted, or devalued this year. When a planet can get downgraded and lost planetary status in the whole solar system, that's not a 'message' for us feeble "liberal" persuaded' is 'it?'.
A run-up of too many 'words' that have been robbed of commonsense can discourage we "lefty's. We don't have to be a "climate canary." That refers to us "liberal males" in politico times and we are feeling we are near extinct? No.
We no stink too bad? A organism or species (human) does Not have to believe s/he is a "dead canary." If we "liberals" believe we are in a decline, numerical wise, let's not count false-polls or label each other, skunk. A big economic/environmental etc., crisis may be looming on the horizon, but in all 'truthiness,' (I'm not sure I love the word 'truthiness') we here!
Just blessed. Salon is catering to a hungry hippo audience. If a tadpole had !% chance of becoming the first female tad-pole to become a black-candidate that beat a 84% white cold snowman, Vote our conscience?
Would you vote for a ~_____~ ? No. I vote No opinion today. I vote for sleep.
