Yes, I liked that dream better, too. The world we’re living in now sounds uncomfortably like the corporate kleptocracies imagined by writers like Kim Stanley Robinson. Sad that it’s the pessimistic viewpoints that so often turn out to be right lately.

He’s the worst thing that’s happened to progressivism in decades. Reagan was certainly a problem, but progressives knew he was an adversary. A lot still don’t want to admit that Obama is an adversary, too, and that if we are going to be at all relevant in the coming years, we need to oppose him.
Well, with that, I really am out of here. Typing is becomeingi an issieu.
Goodnight, all.

You’re right. They most definitely are not on our side. They are on their side first, which, if it has any political philosophy at all, is conservative.

And how many times should she rehearse what she’s going to say, to get it just right? It’s not going to happen. Real debates are about passion as much as about logic. BTW, I provided the quote above. You might have to refresh to see it @142. She quite clearly stated exactly what I did.

Goodnight, Dearie. I think it’s about time for me to pumpkinize as well. Goodnight, all.

To do that would take rehearsing lines over and over again, which I think would not be terribly entertaining to watch. Well, I find most political talk shows boring now, so maybe I’m not a good judge.
A better strategy, I think, would be to state the truth, and not let the portion of the news that’s owned by conservatives (which is most of it these days) frame the questions to the GOP’s advantage. “Ms. Rosen said that someone who has never held a job is probably a bad choice for an economics advisor. Weren’t you paying attention?” That sort of thing.

It is if she’s being held up as an economics adviser, which was the point that Rosen was addressing.

Maybe, but what happened was that thanks to the Republican spinmeisters, everyone is now forgetting the rest of what she said. Frankly, I find it hard not to be dismissive of someone in Ann Romney’s position as being any kind of adviser on economic matters. It’s the sort of hubris that ought to draw a sharp response.
But, everyone who wanted to be offended paid attention to that part, and forgot the rest. It’s really good to be offended in politics these days. Saves having to argue a point.

I’m still not sure whether to feel happy or sad about that one.

See my update @123. At least according to Wikipedia, that’s not the inspiration for the name. Nothing else about the early shows lead me to believe they’d have done such a thing intentionally. Tonto was supposed to be an admirable character, not the clown, even in the Shakespearian sense.

I always figured he was some kind of Southwest Indian.

Hmmm. Armie Hammer. Hopefully for folk who watch the movie, they won’t find themselves nostalgic for Klinton Spilsbury.

Yes, it was. I remember watching it, I think. To answer bgrouthus’ question, though, I don’t remember any urban environments, but I suspect I don’t remember a lot of details.

That might depend. In this part of the country (Pacific NW), I am grateful to have carpet at least six months out of the year.

It’s a lovely spot, even on the rainy days.

That would do it, alright. Might be able to set up teleconferencing if someone at the remote site (your house) has a laptop computer with a camera. You’d need to have some form of Internet access at the “remote site” of course.

Wow. That is so cool, in an utterly crazy, man in the shadow of the machine kind of way.

Pretty well. Seem to have writer’s block again, but other than that..
Don’t blame you about the chair, to tell you the truth. It’s a bit unsettling when what you’re sitting on gets all wobbly.

If it’s the guys from that Home Makeover series, don’t let them help you. They build those houses more like theatre sets than real houses.
