"I slept and dreamt that life was Joy.
I woke and saw that life was Duty.
I acted, and behold, Duty was Joy."
–Rabindranath Tagore

"The skepticism about human rationality that science inspires should not be taken as support for authoritarianism or paternalism… On the contrary, it should render questionable all claims to wise and disinterested leadership, including those of America’s own altruistic progressive technocrats who propose policies to “nudge” the unenlightened masses into doing the right thing. It makes more sense to think of our leaders and intellectuals as half-crazed hooting howler monkeys — just like the rest of us."
–Michael Lind, Salon, August 23,2011
“Seeing what isn’t there is half the job of being on the Left. The other half is changing what isn’t there through costly, intrusive, and ill-conceived initiatives (save 10 percent for keeping Charlie Rangel out of trouble).” -Abe Greenberg, October 9, 2009
 “To date, what non-Obama voters see, and fear, is a candidate content to coast to the nomination and then conduct a blandly conservative campaign. They want a more substantive choice than that. They want to have it out over the worth or danger of Barack Obama’s ideas. They want the chance to ratify Washington’s enormous long-term claims on the country’s wealth, or decisively reject them." – Daniel Henninger, WSJ, July 21, 2011

I'm getting all nostalgic

DateTuesday, November 18, 2008 at 03:01PM

It's old home week at the Obama Transition team. So much so that Laura Ingraham is doing a "Groundhog" bit where she announces the "new" picks for Obama's administration. This morning it was Betty Curry as BO's secretary. "Is she bringing Socks?" Then, Janet "Chewbaca" Reno, complete with wookie roars.

But there may be a hitch in the Clinton Family Reunion- gasp! From the NYT

Many Dealings of Bill Clinton Under Review
By DON VAN NATTA Jr. and JO BECKER
Aides said Barack Obama would not formally offer Hillary Rodham Clinton a post unless he was satisfied that Bill Clinton’s activities would not pose a conflict.

I’m sorry. I’m still on the floor laughing at the NYT report that the big hurdle to be cleared for her nomination is a review of Bill’s activities- we have to make sure there’s no conflict. Well, standards have certainly changed since BC’s administration where conflicting activities were SOP.

Ironic, no? The least vetted president in US history is apparently putting all of his future employees under the microscope. Not that a microscope is the correct tool in Bill’s case. More like a front-end loader.

This must be what Barack meant when he said, "I think that America isn't what it could be, or what it once was and could be again."

He must have meant: "Things were just better all the way around when the Clintons were in Washington. That's the future I want for my children. Blow jobs! Then they won't be punished with a baby!"
