Wish I was.
In response to my response to his statement, "The whole south shifts to the Republican Party over one issue, they don’t like black people…so you have the racism thing,..", M.J. Rosenberg, a progressive, stated this about my post:
Check out this blog post from some blogger close to the Ohio GOP. In the blogger's effort to prove that the GOP is not racist, this Ohioan refers in passing to he "War of Northern Aggression." He also does not know that the solid south moved to the GOP not in 1980 because Dixie liked Reagan but in 1964 because Dixie hated the Civil Rights Act. This is classic. I wonder what percentage of the right would disagree with any of it.
Me, a classic! Wow, so many compliments and in just one smug little piece. Rosenberg shows a one sided understanding of southern politics with his self-righteous referencing of my use of "War of Northern Aggression", but his really deep understanding of southern politics is in his political timeline meme. Yep, the solid south was voting overwhelmingly for Republicans in 1964. Goldwater got 5 of 14 southern states in 1964; Republicans picked up approximately 8 House seats while Democrats held all southern Senate seats, but by 1966 Republicans had gained an actual southern Senate seat (Tennessee)!
To believe M.J., the South hates blacks so much that they went Republican just to spite Democrats for supporting Civil Rights. To M.J., Democrats overwhelmingly supported civil rights and Republicans were overwhelmingly against civil rights. Too anyone who reads history, that thinking is an outright lie manufactured to keep alive the liberal meme of Republican = Racist.
BTW M.J., I am not "close" with the Ohio GOP. I don't work for them, never have. I worked for the NRCC in the south in 1984. That work was the basis of my post, and the racism that I saw then came from the Democrats.
To paraphrase, This is classic. I wonder what percentage of the left would disagree with any of it.

Socialist Credit Cards To Smash Capitalism!! What's The APR?
I thought their site a hoot with the image to the left taken from the bottom of their page:
Are you a Capitalist... Or a Socialist? right above credit card links. I wonder what APR these Socialists are paying to smash Capitalism.
Maybe I should ask what APR their mummy and daddy are paying.

Putin To Investigate Polish Plane Crash
In other news, murderers will now investigate their own crimes under the It Takes One To Know One clause of the Constitution as found by Obama's SCOTUS nominee.

Socializing Student Loans Or The Dishonesty Of Congress
Health Care Reform was about health care reform, right? Suspend logic for the sake of the argument and believe for a moment that health care reform was actually about health care reform. Okay?
The larger part of health care reform was actually about socialized education through the government takeover of student loans from private institutions and loan agencies. Most of America does not know this and I believe a large part of Congress had no idea about the scope of this power grab by Obama Pelosi.
Enter common sense, but watch it exit stage left because Congress wants to be able to lie, double speak and dpe the voter. It is who they are. Republicans and Democrats and the growing number of socialists in Congress will fight common sense. They'll fight with stealth, meaness and violence if that common sense would involve honesty.
Truth In Federal Legislation:Time For A Constitutional Rule?
The Case for a Truth-in-Legislation Amendment
“Congress shall pass no bill, and no bill shall become law, whichembraces more than one subject, that subject being clearly expressed in the title.”
This idea, while not a panacea, is a good start. It's time has come. I'd like to see it enacted just to watch Congress stomp their feet and turn red in the face.

Truely Indicative Of The Episcopal Fall From Grace
Barbie gets ordained, and has the smells-and-bells wardrobe to match
With her careers as veterinarian, astronaut and U.S. president behind her, Barbie has at last found her true calling: as a second-career Episcopal priest.
The 11.5-inch-tall fictional graduate of Church Divinity School of the Pacific in Berkeley, Calif., has donned a cassock and surplice and is rector at St. Barbara’s-by-the-Sea in (where else?) Malibu, Calif.
She arrived at the church fully accessorized, as is Barbie’s custom. Her impeccably tailored ecclesiastical vestments include various colored chasubles (the sleeveless vestments worn at Mass) for every liturgical season, black clergy shirt with white collar, neat skirt and heels, a laptop with prepared sermon and a miniature, genuine Bible.
Apparently a devotee of the “smells and bells” of High Church tradition, the Rev. Barbie even has a tiny thurible, a metal vessel used for sending clouds of incense wafting toward heaven.
...
Many of the Rev. Barbie’s online admirers asked about her career aspirations.
“How long till she is Bishop Barbie?” asked one.
Barbie couldn't do worse than Rowan Williams.

'The whole south shifts to the Republican Party over one issue, they don’t like black people…'
M.J. Rosenberg, a progressive, was speaking about why Americans support Israel. His contention is that America supports Israel because Americans hate Muslims. For context and to point out how stupid and hateful Americans (ie, conservatives) are, Rosenberg dropped this little gem concerning the electorate during the 1980's:
"The whole south shifts to the Republican Party over one issue, they don’t like black people…so you have the racism thing,.."
That is a lie. An outright lie. A known lie. A stupid lie.
How do I know? I worked the southern region when it went for Reagan, Republicans and conservatives at the federal level. As a researcher for the NRCC I had studied the issues, plus the whole votes and quotes thing and worked with candidates throughout the south in 1984 and it was not racism that shifted the south to the Republican Party.
The South had remained a solid Democrat stronghold following not just the War of Northern Aggression and their defeat, but especially following the humiliation of "Reconstruction" which purposely heaped scorn and shame on southerners at all levels. Their pride besmirched, the South reacted with a hatred of Republicans, Northerners and those they felt destroyed their lives. As Michelle Obama, they felt no pride in the country they were forced to be part of.
Enter Ronald Reagan and his "Let's Make America Great Again" message. In 1980 Reagan not only beat Jimmy Carter, he embarrassed Carter and those that thought like Carter. In what was supposed to be an election "too close to call" Reagan had a landslide. Carter was thought to be a quintessential southerner and his every action and manner had become an embarrassment to a large segment of the nation as well as in the south. This was when the South, as a voting bloc, started moving away from the Democrat Party.
By 1984, many waves of new thoughts were occurring which were personified by Reagan's "Morning in America" theme. President Ronald Reagan had tapped into the deep patriotism of the nation which deeply wanted a renewal of not just the American ideal, but also a renewal of faith in America by Americans. People had begun to believe again that America was an exception. That America was special.
The South still searching for a patriotism they could embrace started feeling the pull of Reagan's unabashed love for the United States of America. Ronal Reagan's America included the whole of the United States, not just a selected few nor did Reagan exclude people or regions of the country. This resonated with southerners who felt they had been ignored or ridiculed for generations and they did something they had not done in the past. They listened carefully to a Republican. What they heard, they liked which then allowed southerners to start listening to other Republicans running as state legislators, governors and federal offices such as Congress. They liked what they heard.
At the same time, the NRCC established a field staff broken out by regions of the country with regional strategies and tactics. The southern region, which I was a part of, was led by Jim Weber and he put in place a theory of campaigning that included southern voters in ways they had not been part of before. Republican candidates left their historically safe enclaves and actually spoke in democrat strongholds and asked for their votes. New campaign techniques traditionally not used in the south were employed and most importantly rank and file southerners were asked to become part of the process in political, financial and emotional terms. In short, they became engaged voters.
Did race play a part? Absolutely, because Democrats pushed back with messages of racism in an attempt to solidify their base which they felt included all southerners, especially confederate (battle) flag waving, truck driving whites. They had no idea that a storm of change was occurring in terms of political thought, economics, national identity and the long awaited resolution of southern historical identity.
The South went Republican. As Reagan before them, southerners began to say, "I didn't leave the Democratic Party, the party left me." Reagan spoke to the rising southern middle class with his message of fiscal conservatism, balancing the budget and cutting taxes. Many politicos say that white southerners rebelled against the Democrat embracement of the Civil Rights movement, when in fact it was Democrats that filibustered and voted against civil rights legislation which was supported by Republicans. To say that southerners rebelled against LBJ's cynical civil rights programs may be correct, but to say they rebelled against civil rights by supporting the party that passed civil rights is a tad shallow. LBJ's 1964 Civil Rights Act would have been defeated if not for Republicans such as Evertt Dirkson who broke the filibuster to get it passed. While Dirksen stated, “When it comes to the rights of others, I don’t play politics. It is the right thing to do.”, LBJ was privately saying, according to Ron Kessler's book "Inside the Whitehouse", "I'll have them niggers voting Democrat for two hundred years."
The south did not switch to Republican because of racism. It is still a useful lie for Democrats to say so, but it is still a lie.

Democrat's New Tactic On HCR: Lie
Rep. Wasserman Schultz’s announcement came as a surprise to those of us familiar with the bill, which added to Subtitle D of the Internal Revenue Code a new Chapter 48, whose first section (Section 5000A) is titled, “REQUIREMENT TO MAINTAIN MINIMUM ESSENTIAL COVERAGE” (see p. 126; all-caps in original). Subparagraph (b)(3) even provides for “PAYMENT OF PENALTY” if you don’t comply with the “REQUIREMENT.”

Pelosi: HCR Passed, Now We Get To See What's In The Fridge?
Is this woman serious?
I guess this graduate of the Institute of Notre Dame High School in Baltimore thinks that all of us are children who need to be talked down to with incrediably stupid analogies and statements.
Miss Pelosi decided to explain to the frightened class called America just how health care reform really works:
It’s like the back of the refrigerator. You see all these wires and the rest. All you need to know is, you open the door. The light goes on.
Yeah, the light goes on, but she forgot to mention whether the fridge will keep the food safe for consumption. Not that she would know, that's something for the little people to worry about. You know, people like her servants. That'd be us.
Madam Pelosi: Queen of Demean.
Of course, there were always those people that we'd describe as, "lights on, but nobody's home." Seems to fit here.

New Camera Thoughts - Diane Arbus
The boy in question was Colin Wood, the son of tennis player Sidney Wood, who was caught “in a moment of exasperation”, his hands claw-like, his face maniacal. Arbus captured this photograph by having the boy stand while moving around him, claiming she was trying to find the right angle. The boy became impatient and told her to “Take the picture already!” In other pictures on contact sheet, he is seen as a happy child.
I love photography. Whether I am good at it or not is irrelevant. A present from my wife, a new Nikon (I was always a Leica fan) has excited me and has caused me to examine those photographs I studied as a young(er) man.
They still hold the heartfelt attachment now that they did then. For the most part.
Arbus was a more honest Avedon.
Richard Avedon Collaborates With Charlie Chaplin
Charlie Chaplin, 1952. Saturday, September 13. Avedon received a call at home from Chaplin, who asked if he could have his picture taken right away. Naturally, Dick was thrilled and hurried off to the Madison Avenue studio for a private sitting with no assistants. The result was a stunning photo of Chaplin giving his farewell gesture to America — hours later he was safely onboard a ship bound for Britain, having escaped the clutches of the Immigration Service after being denounced by the F.B.I. as a communist sympathizer.
As an apprentice to HIRO I heard about this event many times from HIRO. He had worked for Richard Avedon and remained friends throughout the years even though Avedon had let him go, fired him. Avedon did so because he said there was nothing more he could teach HIRO.
The first time I walked through the door of HIRO's studio, just off Times Square, I came face to face with Avedon's portrait of Chaplin which was purposely placed in that small entrance space so that a viewer stood eye to eye with Chaplin.
I was never a fan of Chaplin or his work, but this portrait mesmerizes me, still.
UPDATE: email question answer. The print was very large and encased in clear plexiglas in a small stark white entry way. One light overhead. BTW, this was HIRO's older studio before he moved to Central Park West.
Tea Partiers Are KKK Without Robes And Hoods
This guy is too small to be in the deep end. "George Wallace's fan club"? Oh, really.
Steve Cohen (D-TN): Well, I’m not sure what’s being done. The Tea Party people are kind of, without robes and hoods, they have really shown a very hardcore angry side of America that is against any type of diversity. And we saw opposition to African Americans, hostility toward gays, hostility to anybody who wasn’t just, you know, a clone of George Wallace’s fan club. And I’m afraid they’ve taken over the Republican Party.
What will these losers not say?

APB: Where Is Zack Space?
!!All Points Bulletin!!
I swear, we take our eyes off that boy for 5 seconds and he just vanishes. At least Mary Jo got all arty at the gallery hop, but Lil' Zack is just plain missing during the Easter break. Mary Jo also got together with Sherrod Brown for what the Columbus Dispatch called a "victory lap" after the health care "reform" vote. Some victory, eh? Plus, that coulda mighta been a real hostile crowd there at gallery hop. Yeah, like there was a danger of raging conservatives cruising for art, looking for that perfect little piece for the nook just outside their guns and money vault at home.
Zack, it seems, did attend a meet and greet in Logan and spoke to a few people, but otherwise most voters haven't a clue where Zack is in the district. Is he even in the district?
So, where is Zack Space?

Man Plans, God Laughs: Reid Laughs, God Pans
"I was going to give a few remarks on the people who were over here a week ago Saturday," Reid said in a video posted by Fox News anchor Greta Van Susteren, "but I couldn't find it written all over my hands.
Fabulous line flub. Maybe you'll notice defeat "written all over" your face in November. Loser.

Obama Nukes Nukes: Let's Tell Our Enemies How We Won't Defend Ourselves
Obama said, “I’m going to preserve all the tools that are necessary in order to make sure that the American people are safe and secure,” except nuclear weapons and he wants our enemies to know that.
How special.
Obama Limits When U.S. Would Use Nuclear Arms
“Our expectation is not that there’s just some vague, gauzy statement about us not wanting to see loose nuclear materials,” he said. “We anticipate a communiqué that spells out very clearly, here’s how we’re going to achieve locking down all the nuclear materials over the next four years.”
There won't be anything gauzy about China, Russia, Venezuela, North Korea and Iran saying through deed, "Go pound some sand, you fool," when asked to give up all their nuclear weapons. Even ill-mannered adults will find a reason to remain ill-mannered if being so determines their survival.
These are the same nations that, in a world crisis, will know that our president will blink. That is who he is, a president who thinks national security crisis can be solved by class room discussions. That way everyone can then go out for a beer.
No nukes! Beer summit!! Drink until you puke!
There's always tomorrow. Unless...

Christ Is Risen
1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Mag'dalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
4 and for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.
9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.
10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
Giovanni Bellini
ca. 1430 - 1516
Venetian painter, son of Jacopo Bellini (approx 1400–1471) brother of Gentile Bellini (approx 1429–1507), both painters.
At first Giovanni is influenced by the work of his contemporary and family-member Andrea Mantegna. Later he develops a style of his own, with softer shapes and exuding an almost poetic atmosphere.
Bellini paints mostly religious pieces, among which a series of lovely Madonnas. One of the most prominent painters in Venice of his time. As such put in charge of the fabrication of the decorations in the Doges Palace, lost in a fire in 1577.

"I feel lied to, cheated and raped."
It is a wonder it took this long for Democrat s, liberals and progressives to get scared of the Tea Party movement. The Tea Party movement undercuts and puts lie to what they said America truly wanted, ie, a president like Obama and his ideas.
I have to chuckle when I hear elected officials like Chuckles Schumer say that HCR will help the Democrats win more seats next November. Boy, mix in Cap and Trade and the ever popular (and proven!) climate legislation based on the AGW theory and it should, according to Chuckles, give them whole damned Congress. Yeah, Chuckles is safe in his seat, but that's like being voted craziest by the insane asylum.
Disgruntled Democrats join the Tea Party
"We hear from folks, probably at every rally, who say, 'I was a Democrat,' " Levi Russell, communications director for the Tea Party express tour, said.
"Having more Democrats join the movement shows that it is more representative of the American people than the antics of the Obama, [House Speaker Nancy] Pelosi, Reid leadership," Russell said.
I have quite a few educators in my family who have lived by the NEA's rule, much the same as regular union rules, wait, anyway, they took the bribes to keep their mouths shut about what was really going on in education in America. That most of them now state a fondness for the Tea Party movement isn't making them Republicans, but it shows a rift that is undeniable, especially a rift amongst those belonging to the teacher's union, liberal shock troops for decades.
