What went wrong with the auto industry bailout? Why is America so fucked today, and seemingly so incapable of getting un-fucked?

Well, NY Times columnist Gail Collins has about as good an answer as any I've heard lately. Because humans are like dogs:

Normally Gail just tries to be funny, but this time she stumbled on profound.

The memo says:

>This rush to judgment is the same thing that happened with the . Members did not have an opportunity to read or digest the legislation and therefore could not understand the consequences of it. We should not rush to pass this because says the sky is falling. "<

Wasn't this what Obama said about AIG? Isn't this something you should always do before spending a lot of money?

The Republicans need to sto writing things down or make sure the tape recorders and video cameras are off and confiscate all cell phones before announcing their evil plans to their minions.

Sucks re: TZ. People should definitely write to both the Seattle School District and WSLCB in support of this fine, fine establishment.

But, do be nice. Snark may have coinage on SLOG, but it doesn't do much to impress the blue-noses who make these decisions.

Old Brains... really old... now that's a beautiful place to leave a comment... and of course something little for some help with our friends.

Hancock Press has a little tract pamphlet called the Best of Chief Dan George copyright: 2004 Chief Dan George.

Inside it the little tract, you'll find thoughts and different perceptions about words used between the mixing of lifes cultural differences.

Not far from the simultaneous borders of publishing empires, you'll find a reminder of the subtle art in tracting and truth saying.

Todays mixed media is the gate to the visual cortex. Take for instance, the YouTube picture video link that I am using to write this wandering tour outside of the "blue letters" of the strangers blue note portals.

Guided by, coincidentally, the blue colored cover of Dan's Hancock Houses cover photo.

This is a good time to make up a segway to the You Tube picture. Maybe it will help with the mixing of media.

On page 21 of My Heart Soars/My Spirit Soars/ Biographical Sketch/ Centennial Speech/

you'll find this line of thought:


"...for some time bewilderment will, like an ugly spirit torment you. Then rest on the holy earth and wait for the good spirit. he will return with new ways as his gift to you,-if you let it happen."

Wait .... I can almost imagine someone screeching... "what about the relevancy of staying on topic and the blue notes and reasons for proper context for slogging and unpersonal bias of...." etc.,etc.,etc.;

My answer obviously is this is a form of entertainment.

You the reader have the choice to read the comment and participate or not.

I will by then be long gone eating food.

So why should I confuse the topics of the blue notes on the inside... when I can add to the overall flavor of the dance.

Which brings this contribution to The Strangers SLOG to this point:

Scooter Libby.

Saturday, if your an old Sir Elton John supporter was once a good night for fighting.

As I get older... I know that thoughts provoke, and in today's mixed media... there is hardly any room for legal fighting with the fists that men use to use to stem the tides of aggression in themselves.

Take for instance the similarities with Schiffer the Jewish finacier of the Japanese in the early part of the 20th century.

200 Miliion dollars was alot of money back then to support with in a loan, and he was repaid by the Japanese standing in politics, yet not standing for anti-semitism. I am referancing the movie Sugihara shown last night at the Wallingford meaningful movies series.

A small point to be sure... yet possibly a connective spirit "larger than the sound" itself.

Oh ya... scooters... those little self use items for single or double personalized transport mixed use.

Libby : "cans of peaches and pears... the great big guns of political chairs...." {dbk.2008}

I would be remiss if I didn't tangent a tie into the tracting portion of the weave....

Schiffer is connected here to the title page cover photo... a small coincidence and threadbare yes... but a coincidence none the same.

What does that have to do with tracting?


Well... let us change a letter or two and focus on tracking....on second thought... let's call spying on the net what it is.

#10. that's me.UNILB10.

#11 that's the clicker next to me pulling in and out of the computer... little disks that just might correlate to what is being printed and spyied upon. yes... just then another one was pulled out of 11 drive and put into another slot disk color oh my do you think my experience matched the tone of the phone in #12 and elevens disk pulling in and out of the next machines drive while I go off on another tangent...?

from my place in the U.W. Seattle Library... this is happening in real time.

I was stalled once recently... and glory was the view giddy in it's profound isolation.

I was imaging a hole in which I could be sheltered from the peering eyes of the inquisitive... and there right in the middle of the "but" was a slogan...

"no war but class war".

Hmmm.

Kind of makes me remember what a throne was all about for some people, and what stage orientation really is for me as a "see"-er of mixed media.

Not far from the baby diaper changing station and the hole in the wall, a gangs affront on intrusive paradigms bigotry and potty humor, is the correlating sign don't use.

Weird.
Fishhead.

According to the autobiographical sketch by Harriet Schlossberg, the film industry is in it's 138th year.

I calculate that based on the movie timeline she gives for a film or two while talking about Chief Dan Georges career.

There's alot of interesting coincidence inside that number system and the story personalized that I find relative... yet other people would undoubtedly call insane.

Why just this morning at the church feed coffee time before lunch is served... I overheard that very thing scootering across the airwaves....

well, not actually "scootering" that little track of unglorified hole-ism was previously there since and I witness ... well... forget it...you'd have to visit the stall and ask yourself the political significance of the throne room.

My guess... it's not worth the yelling and screaming to punish one persons perspective and opinion on "whos" or "whom" is totally insane... because after all you can always turn off the sound.

Then again... you could visit the park and see one of the other views of the mis-matched pair.

oh ya... don't forget it's a gas gas gas....yeah.... got it.

That Republican memo capitalizes the word "Republican" but doesn't capitalize "Democrat". It's exciting to know that some senators are still going to be asshole frat boys, even after Bush leaves.

I'm sure the Republicans wouldn't be crass enough to consider eliminating the most powerful union in the country, cutting a major source of Democratic funding simply by doing nothing, purely for its political expediency. There must be another reason they support bailouts for investment bankers but not assembly line workers.

Breaking socialist union thugs is the ONLY way to get this deal done.

Nobody deserves 72 dollars an bour to build cars.

Support labor! Bust the unions!

Lord Basil. It has already been disproven that any auto worker makes that kind of money. The average autoworker makes about $28 an hour, less than $60,000. "Auto workers" only average $70 an hour when you count car salesmen and auto company executives in the math.

Stop believing Republican myths,
