Lunch Break

Photo: Iphone shot of a sign in Downtown LA. I find it near to poetry. I want someone to write an opera around this sign. A love story between "hamburger" and "Chinese" interrupted by "taco" induced societal chaos - or vice versa - or who cares...The grand clash of cultures on the Pacific rim - glued together by the mysterious, omnipresent, all powerful, "ATM".

Really Cold War. Polar nations (that includes the U.S.) maneuvering for Arctic Oil.


Okay, not to into the Bash Jindal Express here. As a long time observer of that party - it was clear a while ago Jindal was a dud. The GOP brown delusion. He was never anything but a "look we have brown people, too" front for the GOP men, whose castration fears pique around Palin.
I am always glad to see Rush and the social conservatives get slapped around. Wish the GOP would embrace the Moderates and Libertarians. Regardless, of Obama's chatter - there is some space opening up at the Moderate Table in Club America. Also- as for the sub contest between the Libertarians and the Social conservatives in the GOP ...it is past time the libertarians got some love and for the Falwell Freaks to Go to the Back of the Bus.. This would open the GOP to new energy. But the Dobson nuts would have to shut up for an election cycle or two. For now the GOP is stuck. Odd but true: Palin is the only person I see out there that could pull off embracing the libertarian energy, and neutering the social conservatives while keeping their votes. Maybe Jeb B - (not a good choice for the obvious reasons. Though, by 2012 another, smarter Bush might be viable. Yes, Obama could end up being THAT bad.) Romney: maybe but he is just so...uh...icky...

Anyway, this is kinda funny. Obama says he's gonna fix everything...details to come...
