Overnight Open Thread (9-13-2012)The National Political Conventions by Words This word map pretty much tells you where the two parties are coming from. On the right you have mostly virtues and ideals and on the left you essentially have a menu of services.
Well there's getting getting every single detail wrong and then there's beclowning yourself while giving an editorial BJ to your president-boyfriend like Andrew Sullivan back in 2007: Consider this hypothetical. It's November 2008. A young Pakistani Muslim is watching television and sees that this man-Barack Hussein Obama-is the new face of America. In one simple image, America's soft power has been ratcheted up not a notch, but a logarithm. A brown-skinned man whose father was an African, who grew up in Indonesia and Hawaii, who attended a majority-Muslim school as a boy, is now the alleged enemy. If you wanted the crudest but most effective weapon against the demonization of America that fuels Islamist ideology, Obama's face gets close. It proves them wrong about what America is in ways no words can. Romney Being Left Out in the Cold? So Romney has been the GOP nominee for three weeks but he has yet to receive a single intelligence briefing that's offered to each party's nominee. Given the gravity of issues facing a prospective commander-in-chief, it has become customary for each party's nominee to receive regular intelligence updates during the run-up to the fall election. In 2008, then-Senator Barack Obama received his first briefing just five days after accepting the Democratic nomination. Well 'logistics' and a lack of willingness on the Obama administration's side. Today, for example, Governor Romney is campaigning in Fairfax, Virginia, barely 16 miles from ODNI headquarters in nearby McLean. Yeah, traffic on the Beltway or I-66 can be a bear, but it wouldn't be that difficult to dispatch a briefer to Mr. Romney's hotel and allow him to review a hard-copy or computer version of the daily summary. Why So Many Green on Blue Attacks in Afghanistan? Short answer: the Afghanis are a twitchy, murderous lot. Plus you have the Taliban causing trouble. While the shooting of NATO troops makes the headlines, what is largely ignored is that even more Afghan police and soldiers are killed the same way. Afghanistan is a violent place, always has been, and it's difficult to eliminate the tendency towards trigger-happy temper tantrums with only a few months training. So far this year, 13 percent of NATO combat deaths have been because of these attacks. That's twice the rate last year. The Afghan government blames foreign spies but admits that a lot of the bribing and recruiting of Afghan soldiers and police for this is done by Afghan Taliban. From Thrash Metal to Watchmaking Dan Spitz was the lead guitarist for the heavy metal band Anthrax for over 12 years. And then he quit to do what he was really interested in...making watches. John Reardon: You suddenly lost interest in playing guitar in 1995, ripped the stereo equipment from your cars and house, and gave all your guitars to Hard Rock Café. Why the sudden lost of interest in music and how sudden was your awakening to the call of watchmaking? And apparently he's not the only rocker with a passion for watches: Have you come across other artists in the music world with a comparable passion for mechanical timepieces? This satire board game, Public Assistance, is from 1980 but sadly these days it's more like the board game version of the popular live show. THE GUN IS GOOD! THE PENIS IS EVIL! Okay I've seen the movie but after watching the trailer for it I'm wondering if I missed a middle hour or something. Yahoo group. That is all. And my Twitter spew.
