Daschle confirmation is not only an insult to our intelligence, its a green light for more unscrupulous and possibly illegal behavior. Let's draw the line here.

Is Rush Limbaugh on Drugs Again, or Simply the World's Biggest Ego Trip?
Ultra Conservative Political shock jock, Rush Limbaugh, seems to have finally slipped off the reservation. It is hard to know whether he's back on drugs, or if the recent election returns have caused him to lose his mind all together.
In his latest bloviation he's challenging President Obama to enter into negotiations with him on an "Obama-Limbaugh Stimulus Plan," which would divide up a trillion dollars earmarked for stimulating the economy, according to the election returns. Limbaugh reasons that since the President has pledged to take a bipartisan approach to governing, in Limbaugh's view, that entails the president controlling only the percentage of the bailout funds that reflects his margin of victory in the election. In other words, since President Obama won the election by 53% of the vote, he should only control 53% of the bailout funds. The remainder of the funds, that percentage that reflects Sen. McCain's percentage of the vote, should be controlled by none other than Rush himself, to be applied to the economy as way he sees fit.
In spite of my writing yesterday, in which I went into some detail about arrogance and the potential of it's strong presence in my life, I cannot but help to pursue a certain feeling of 'superior to inferior' when I read my early morning op-eds. Harvey actually went out there in the fresh snow with me to get those papers. It is well past Christmas, and the effect of my magnanimous tip to the delivery person (whom I still have not ever seen) appears to be wearing thin...as the papers drift ever farther down the driveway, day by day. Harvey meowed and trilled as we went through the white puffery, the stuff so damn cold that it was more like icy ash than the snow we knew it to be. I walked back, after retrieving the plastic covered items, and waited patiently at the door, trying to get rid of the snow which had somehow gotten up and over the edges of my Ugg slippers. This is always a ticklish time. If Harv does not come back, after one of these 'step and fetch it' routines, then I am forced to get dressed and get out into the weather with him. But today was a good day, and, after one brief downward scamper, in order to force me fully awake, he flipped around and raced back inside. Life is good, except for the fact that this new Apple keyboard (the flat one with slightly raised keys) has made it easier for Harvey to get his opinion expressed herein. I don't like it, but what can I do? Push him away? Yell at him? I don't think so. Too early and, anyway, he carefully avoids my half-emptied coffee cup as a sort of return gesture. Yes, we are both strange.
The papers were lousy. Friedman was acting the idiot I have discovered him to be. His piece was about the Middle East. He is done with the 'flat earth' endorsement stupidity so he has switched from being a would-be economist to a political scientist. His first sally in that direction had to do with how the Middle East is going to be dominated in the future; by Saudi Arabia, by Egypt or by Iran. There is supposedly only one nuclear power in the Middle East (I personally think Iran has the bomb, which is why even Cheney will not aim his shotgun in that direction), and that is Israel. Even without the nukes, will you just look at that wild bunch of Sabra Jews over there? They have some great equipment, having invented and built some hot stuff of their own, as well as stealing anybody else's left lying about! Nobody in the Middle East is a match for them. Not even all together. You might think that the Saudi's would give them a run, what with all the state-of-the-art stuff we have sold them. But the problem there is, well, the Saudis. They are a bunch of creepy Arab dabblers. Light weights. Newly rich kids who are certainly not going to go off and fight a war, much less against those rabid crazy Israeli vets. Think George Bush Jr. So, Friedman is at it again. The rest of the article is just as silly. Friedman needs a cooking show. He and Emeril would do great.
And then there was Garrison Keiller. Usually I just love Garrison. Right behind Maureen Dowd. Garrison decided this day, however, that he would write sonnets about some guy he saw peeing into a bush while he himself was reflecting, and listening to music in the park, or some such. Friedman is contagious today. Poor Garrison fell down with that same flu. Slobering Dopiness. I know, I know, I am sounding just a tad arrogant. What can I do? Maureen Dowd was better. She wrote all about Caroline and why Caroline is better than a leper, or some right wing whacko, or even, and she said this without saying it, that sweet and sour dill pickle named Cuomo. I don't think Maureen likes him. So i don't either. Maureen Dowd is good enough for me. And I like Caroline, even when i am not writing the most complimentary things about her. Sort of how I run on about the Jews. I like Israel. I like the Jews. What a gutsy bunch of people who take care of their own, and refuse to be poked and prodded by anyone. I just don't like to see them killing all those people. Eventually they will feel bad about that. I do not wish post traumatic stress on anyone, especially not those tough bright people. And I pity those poor Palestinians without much of anything at all.
I am not over my arrogance confrontation. The confrontation I am having with myself. A woman of quite some intellect and personality (who no longer speaks to me, by the way, thereby showing a modicum of wisdom, as well) said to me once, in my coffee shop, right after I had skewered her with respect to a mispronunciation she had blurted out earlier; "you can be right.....and you can be alone." That did not stop me at the time. I made believe I had not heard her (maybe one of the reasons she does not have any truck with me anymore!), but I filed the expression away. Damn straight. She was right on. Her expression goes right to the heart of what I am tossing and turning over. I do not want to be alone. Does anyone? Not anyone that I want to know. Hmmmm...that is kind of an oxymoronic thing to say, as well. But is it arrogant?
So I am reflecting again, about all of this, as my coffee cools, Harvey slides one paw down to punch the 'Q' key (and I have to erase, once I decide that, although Q is an excellent letter and name...recall the character on Star Trek...it does not fit into what I am writing), and I lean back to give this whole thing a very cursory edit. This damn new key board (take note Mr. Steve, super-thin, I-do-not-have-cancer, Jobs!)keeps making little 'i's' when I want big one's. I don't always catch those. My readers are so few, and so laconic, that they do not seem to ever comment about such things, however. Or maybe my readers are just too arrogant to even bother.

Arrogance. What does it really mean...that word? Earlier today, I used the word to describe the reason that Governor Rod, of Illinois, is being brought down. The man has rebuilt the freeway system through Chicago and added the drive-by I-Pass to all toll exchanges, thereby cutting traffic tie-ups, and also making driving life a lot easier. He has attempted to fund education, feed poor people and supported 'fair trade' over 'free trade.' The campaign contribution stuff? Which, of any political officeholder, is not involved in that stuff? The 'selling' of the open Senate seat? Which of them (the other 49 governors) is without sin there? But in making my argument about the governor I was brought up short. Way short. I was informed by someone who has known me for years, that it was arrogance on my part which brought me down back in the early nineties (when I went from being a government agent, wearing a white hat, to being a scuzzball 'skell,' with no hat at all!). The same arrogance that is bringing down Governor Rod. I told another friend about that conversation, later in the day, and kind of got the same response.
Am i arrogant? Was i arrogant, and did that really 'bring me down,' as conjectured? Maybe I was. Maybe I am. I don't feel arrogant. By the way, the definition of that word kind of makes it's way around a central theme, from dictionary to dictionary. The theme being one of 'superior to inferior,' posturing. My dominance, or assumed superior positioning, would come from applied intellect and verbal skills. Governor Rod's would come from his office. I do not want to be placed into the same category as Governor Rod. I do not like him either, mostly because of his public presentation. I have nothing else to judge him by, which is pretty weak, as well. But I have plenty to judge me by. How do i evidence intellect and life experience without 'offending' my audience (the person I may be talking to)? There are ways to do that, I know. Why am I not good at those? And I must not be, at all, or I would not be writing this blog in this way. The criticism would never have been leveled if there was not some substance to it. After all, the people who leveled it actually like me!
There is also the thought that I am not nearly as smart as I think, or present, that I am. That psychologist at the Medical Center in North Chicago did say to me once, in an aside; "you know, you are not nearly as intelligent as you think. You are just really good at portraying yourself as that intelligent." And this is a guy I respected, and still respect. I smiled. I had some great comeback, back then, that I do not recall now. And I smile now. Yeah, I am smart. I know that. I wish I was not so smart, as there is a much greater chance for continued bliss if you are not fully aware of what is happening all over the place. And I do like having bliss. in fact, it was Victor Hugo who penned: "Ignorance is bliss." But ignorance is not really a function of intellect, not directly anyway. Yes, a truly brilliant mind can hypothecate circumstance exclusive of experience (otherwise would have no theories at all about the origin of the universe), but ignorance is more about the lack of life experience (which would include formal education). No knowing some things is great. If you think that you would like to know everything than think about what your life would be like if you knew the date you were going to die! So, maybe, the assumption of my arrogance comes from the simple fact that the 'dominance' of intellect I am assuming exists within me, and does not, (which my audience knows), and it is this element which creates animosity towards me. Or maybe I am being too smart. I don't know.
Writing of that subject (death), the Israeli Army continued on with it's devastation of the Gaza Strip, and the people who live there, this day. Schools and such. Civilians all over the place. Artillery is a cruel and general killer. As are air strikes, no matter how 'surgical' they appear when films are shown later on. We, the United States, stepped up to the plate at the U.N. and did not even swing on the thrown third strike at the U.N. A request that a cease fire be enjoined was put forward. Yes, we, the good guys vetoed that. Why? Because the Hamas people, if that is really who they are, would somehow have to prove that they were not going to send any more of their idiotic home made rockets into Israel. Brooks, in the New York Times, approved of that this morning. You see, the Israeli's have to stand tough. They have to 'succeed.' This 'success' can only be gained by destruction. Any failure, later on, is attributed to not having been violent enough, with the death and destruction. His platform is another of the new neocon movement planks. 'Brutal violence is cleansing and pure.' It is part of the mantra.
But you note that we do not go in and do anything at all to Iran. We cry, off in the distance, with Israel at our side, that Iran is providing all sorts of arms to both Iraq and Hamas. But we do nothing. Why? Because Iran has what North Korea has. Nukes. That is all that has stopped us from going into those countries. So, thank God for nuclear proliferation! Gates' job as Defense Secretary might just be a bit at risk if he were to phone home to report that we just lost the sixth fleet one morning! Aggressors are notedly and historically very poor judges of the need for war and the need for aggression. Hamas is not the aggressor in this new war. It is Israel. They are killing the Palestinians out of love. Because they care for them and want to protect them. And here we are, the United States, doing the same thing over and over and over again. Is there any wonder that we are going broke?
Obama appointed a new head of the CIA. You go, Barack! Lou Pennata. What a great choice! The man has no CIA background. Hooray. The Agency is so rife with the seasoned 'non-warrior' and 'mean office analyst' types that it needs a wake up call. I just hope, upon getting the proper approvals, that Lou cleans house. Out with all the sub-directors. Each and every one. They have done about as good as job as the executives who have been running the car companies, and the guys who have been CEO's of the financial houses. We need new blood, and a lot of it. The examination, in hominids, for self-awareness, is to give the subject an anesthetic. When the subject is out cold, a red magic marker spot is placed on his or her forehead. The subject is awakened to stand before a full length mirror at arm's length. If the subject touches the mirror it is deemed to not be self-aware. If the subject touches it's own forehead, he or she is deemed to be self-aware. The entire CIA needs to be tested. We would lose half of the entire agency to this test. But then, our current President would seen rubbing the mirror, as well.
I suppose that whole entry above is one of arrogance. I wonder. And, if I am arrogant, what is it I would be like if I were not? Would I be able to live with me?
Barack Obama has little in common with George W. Bush, thank God, his obsessive workouts and message control notwithstanding.As we saw during primary season, our president-elect is not free of his own brand of hubris and arrogance, and sometimes it comes before a fall: “You’re likable enough, Hillary” was
You can’t blame V. Gene Robinson of New Hampshire, the first openly gay Episcopal bishop and an early Obama booster, for feeling as if he’d been slapped in the face. “I’m all for Rick Warren being at the table,” he told The Times, but “we’re talking about putting someone up front and center at what will be the most-watched inauguration in history, and asking his blessing on the nation. And the God that he’s praying to is not the God that I know.” Unlike Bush, Obama has been the vocal advocate of gay civil rights he claims to be. It is over the top to assert,
(end of excerpts)
Here is the comment I posted.*
Obama tends to see the good side only, when it comes to ministers. Didn't his relationship with the Reverend Wright teach us this? To me this shows naiveté rather than cockiness. I hope this “one-sided vision” doesn’t apply to heads of state. I’m glad he’ll have Hillary as a buffer.
As for “you’re likable enough Hillary”, that has been way overblown. Watch the tape again. He was caught by surprise and had to say something. Maybe a bit sardonic, but not arrogant.
And “obsessive workouts”? Daily exercise is important, especially when one wants to relieve stress and stay in shape. With George W. Bush, on the contrary, it was clear that being a “physical trainer” was a more important role to him than being president.
As for Bishop Gene Robinson’s comment that “the God that [Rick Warren] is praying to is not the God that I know.” That statement is off the mark. I guess he meant "interpreting" rather than "praying to"
As for Warren’s role at the inaugural, it bothers me too. I would have preferred a ”Billy Graham” type, one who doesn’t state that Jews don’t go to Heaven, as Warren did when asked about it at an Aspen Ideas Festival. **
Barack Obama is only human, not divine. So let’s all stay in the big tent and wait to see how he actually governs as president. We’re really not sure, but most of the early signs are positive.

In an article in today's Washington Post, the McCain campaign describes its plans to ramp up their negative campaigning. As if Gov. Palin, McCain and the rest of that team has been engaged in an honest debate over the issues thus far, a senior Republican operative is quoted as saying, "We're going to get a little tougher."
"With just a month to go until Election Day, McCain's team has decided that its emphasis on the senator's biography as a war hero, experienced lawmaker and straight-talking maverick is insufficient to close a growing gap with Obama."
I agree. McCain's biography as a POW, 30 years in politics, and faux-maverick posturing are insufficient to close the "growing gap" with Obama. That's no reason to dredge the country through a hateful mudslinging campaign though. If senator McCain and Gov. Palin don't have anything to say about the issues, they should either go back and study or drop out.
The strategy of politics over principles is consistent with the arrogance of the McCain campaign. In Thursday's debate, Gov. Palin said that she didn't have to answer questions from the moderator. In a democracy I'm afraid you do have to answer questions Governor.
Dear Mr. Herbert,
You have my deepest gratitude for outing the McCain campaign’s, “Karl Rove style,” trashing. McCain may have once been, the straight talking American war hero, although it is hard to believe someone could fall so far from ethical to be the lowest common denominator in the most crucial Presidential campaign in the last sixty years.
I am physically ill and fighting despair for this country’s future. What McCain and his campaign are doing is putting the final nail in the coffin of this country’s dying greatness. What had been good and positive about the US through all its horrors were the hope and reach for the ideals of our Constitution. The framers were flawed men but knew enough to reach for their better angels when it came to their vision for this country. Not so for McCain, McCain is Sherman devastating and burning everything on his way to White House. McCain like Hillary who like Bush rather further break and fragment the remains of the electorate than run a fair campagin. And the press and media are the bandleaders. I cannot believe what passes for news. The French literary theorists announced the death of the author. Who will announce the death of the journalist? Or have we mourned the death of impartial reporting with the lost of Tim Russet? Is his death at the beginning of this campaign a metaphor for the end of rational and reliable journalism in this country?
The press and media, expect for you a small hand fill, are once again failing their duty to the public. Instead of reporting or discussing the candidates polices they sensationalize and worst set up the publics attitudes with sensational leads into broadcasts and headlines. I am an Obama supporter and have been from the very beginning. I agree with you I do not know how he endures the slander of the press, the daily vile and insulting tag lines attributed to him. While McCain or the idea of McCain is cherished and coddled in gentle voices and amazement that the man they so highly honored is running such a malicious and salacious campaign as they repeat and loop every single slur over and over. If the press and media are not racist, if their behavior and presentation of Obama is not racist and they are not purposely painting this presidential campaign with a tar brush than how is racism to be defined?
The press and media’s bang and banter the idea of Obama’s arrogance into the ground. Are they hoping in nailing him with arrogance and hubris they will bring him down to his proper peg? What actually are print, TV and cable journalist and pundits trying to do to Obama and the country? I can sort of understand McCain and his campaign’s strategy. They are dirty, low and desperate but is the media out to get Obama because he does not play by the same old rules? I do not know for certain what is going on. It looks like propaganda or why report on Obama with code words like flip-flop and arrogance except to maintain the status quo which McCain embodies.
I hope the electorate is hip to this by now but I fear we are doomed by the very system that once made this country appear to be democracy is done or maybe the curtain has been ripped away and we see the wizard for what he is, an old man working the levers on a machine.
At least I know I can count on you but I think you are breaching to the choir. Reasonable voices can't be heard since they are rarely looped and repeated by the media.
Thanks,
Deborah Di Bari
Despite what his conservative critics charge as arrogance, Barack Obama isn't letting his recent successful foreign trip to go to his head. In fact, he looks at his chances in the presidential election rather soberly, as seen in these NYTimes and Newsweek articles/interviews:

"I am reminded of the great talent of the -- of our Philippine Americans when I eat dinner at the White House...." said President Bush next to the president of the Philippines.
I'm hoping an Obama administration will elevate the level of cultural competence and expertise of our country.
Nice. This is the way to fight back after Karl Rove's nasty comment the other day. Remind me again why he's now supposed to be some sort of impartial journalist?

The reason that the majority of the Obama supporters ARE Obama supporters has something to do with HOPE FILLED POSITIVE MESSAGES about the state of the nation, of the future of this county and the world.
They are not imaginary, they are visionary statements.
They are made with recognition and acceptance of the need for hard work and compromise.
They are not made with negative intent toward others, but with support for ideals and ideas that are not of the past (anger, hate, devisiveness).
They are substanative
Negative politics has no place in this campaign at any time, arrogance has no place when the tide appears to be turning in the favor of our movement/candidate.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
State your reasons FOR OBAMA not your reasons against anyone else...it's the only thing that really matters in the long run.
Congratulations!
I was 11 years old in 1964 and proud of being the latest New Yorker promoted to the 8th grade. The familiar smells of my mother’s Spanish cooking added to the comfort of being included in the monthly gathering of my father, an “old-world” Puerto Rican, and his two brothers and their families. My father was the elder and, for as long as I could remember, like clockwork, these men met at my house, every month, to discuss politics, the month’s novelties, my cousin Nancy’s first Holy Communion, Uncle Oscar’s new job, who would be on Ed Sullivan, and so that everyone could tease my mom about her ongoing obsession with feeding my dad and I to death. This "five-foot-dumpling" of a wife and mother was convicted in her certainty that the measure of a woman’s worth, was found in the girth of her family's waistlines! As the kids ran about to the sporadic heralding of “…if you make me get up from here…” and the women discussed Lucy Ricardo's latest dress, the talk at the smoky table… where the men sat…always seemed to turn to HONOR. It was a subject spoken of in "broken English" by those who clutched the fierce objective of arriving at these shores, not merely to live in America... but to BECOME IT. HONOR: At that table, it was measured by how well each man there cared and provided for his family; how well each had repaid America’s hospitality and, each was accountable to the other two for compliance. It was, they said, what gave our family name its worth. HONOR; it was a word that seemed to be a big deal to these men and any one of them would grow by two inches when acknowledged with it by the others, but specially by the women of the clan. They were larger than life, those men, and as they donned their fedoras and left, I was always left with a yearning to somehow...one day, grow up to be just like them. Most of all, I wanted to grow up to be like my dad; the patriarch. On this particular night, just as he closed the door behind the last to exit, he turned to me and asked “Are you a man of HONOR, son?” I was startled... I wasn’t expecting the question! Searching for what I felt he was expecting as the “right” answer, I said “SURE, dad!” Pleasing him was my life's purpose. “Why," he asked. "Well... because I’m your son.” This must certainly be the right answer. A silent moment ensued, as he seemed to study me with an unsettling scrutiny that I had never before seen in his eyes. It made me uneasy…like being on stage…and forgetting your lines. “Then, you won’t mind explaining… what honor IS.” As I fumbled and scoured my brain for an answer, he stopped me in mid “fidget” and said... with something between a smirk and a smile,“You cannot be that which you do not know. Honor is different things to different people but, to all, it is the thing that, when choosing which fork to take when life’s road splits, compels a person to DO THE RIGHT THING. So from today forward, because you are my son, I will ask that you begin to reflect on the things that you are... and on things that you would like to become... so that you may grow into what you are meant to be. Whatever that may be, son, I need for you to become it…like your uncles and like me; as one of the "Basora men" who always try, no matter what, to DO THE RIGHT THING.” "You know..." he said, starting down the hall, "...the best gift that I can ever give your mother... and this country... is to build them AN AMERICAN."
Thirty three years later, mom succeeded and fed him to death. In my arms and surrounded by love; his two favorite Shepherds, like sentries, flanking his bed, I had never wished so hard for anything in my life, as I wished for that day; that he could speak to me from beyond this thing, this coma...just one more time...just one more time before he left me. "You're my best friend," I muttered. "I still need you. How can you even be certain that I've become this... man of HONOR?" His eyes parted slightly; mom, a nurse and my wife gasped... wide, reddened eyes... hands cupped to their mouths... as if frozen. "Because... it was you that compelled me... to never... ever... stop being one," he whispered... and died.

"He's just not ready to be president", the Clintonistas say but out of the other side of their mouth now Hillary and Bill are floating how strong of a ticket they could have with Obama as Vice President.
Hmmm, he's not ready to be President, but he's could be plenty ready to take over just so long as Hilary is president first?!? Makes no sense to me at all and sounds like more political posturing!
Perhaps Hillary is using her many years of experience to play at some reverse political psychology. Maybe she is hoping that Barack will be equally generous in considering her as a suitably experienced candidate for VP once Barack becomes the Democratic nominee.
Somehow though, I seriously doubt it! Hilary's shrill condescension simply clashes too loudly with Barack's even temperment for a successful match in my humble opinion...
