Analyze This

I was quietly minding my own business on Monday, when what should pop into my inbox, but an invitation to apply for a position of Data Analyst with the DNC.  I sure did.  What was odd about the process, from both sides, was that one had to offer a 300 word "Motivation" statement.  Boy howdy.  Alas, I was so in thrall, I didn't copy it out for inclusion in one of these missives. 

Events change, however.  In a nutshell, I told the DNC that they were shamefully responsible for the 2010 debacle; the data needed to destroy the Right Wingnuts was low hanging fruit, which they ignored.  And that they needed me.  Kind of direct.  We'll see.

What motivated this missive, however, was the news today that "mainstream" Republicans are toying with letting the country default. 

It's high time Obambi used those balls he's used to produce kids for something more important.  The Right Wingnuts game plan all along was to institutionalize the wealth transfer that started with Reagan, by blaming the deficit on Obambi.  He, and the DNC, have been criminally silent through all of this.

FDR said, paraphrasing, that the banks hated him and he hated the banks; and he was down with that.  The banks caused the Great Depression/Recession, so taking back what they stole was just minimum punishment.  In fact, it isn't even punishment; it's called restitution.  The poor folks whom the Right Wingnuts wish to destroy, didn't cause either event.  Obambi, if he's worth a shit, has to take the fight to the bad guys.  This holding hands around the campfire is merely convincing the Rove's out there that he's easy pickings.  So far, he has been.  He compromises firsts, doesn't even bother to ask questions later.

The DNC needs me.  We'll see.  Would be nice to get back to Capitol Hill.  Look up an old girlfriend or two or three.
