Obama's Veep "First Text"-Appeal Reveal this Week?

So Obama may text you as you're getting ready for work this week. If he becomes 44th President, would his message on our cellphones be considered The Very First First Text?

I heard on NPR this morning that those that offer Obama their cellphone number might just receive a text announcing his Veep choice. Technological advantage? Yes. Cool factor: you'll find out at the same moment as Big Media. yay.

Who has the Veep Text-Appeal?

Sen. Biden.
He's always been my favorite Donkeycrat bulldog-blow-hard. When he mellow-dramatically lays into corrupt partisans on C-SPAN, the veins in his forehead bulge. That's pretty cool, but how many people watch as much C-SPAN as I have to fully appreciate this grinning character?

Billary. Hey -- never count the dynamic-duo out for daylight robbery. And, as I said before, if not her, no other Femacrat will suffice.

Bayh and that other "B" guy that nobody knows.
Please don't bore us.

Gen. Colin Powell?
Nope. Just a silent nod.

Gen. Wesley Clark?
Too wiley. He was awkwardly critical on McCain's war record.

Gov. Richardson?
Ladder jumpers are dangerous bedfellows (because they need rails). He and his post-candidate beard would hold out for a junior cabinet staff post. Y'know -- he actually speaks Spanish.

Sen. McCain?
He's busy. Not a bad ticket, though. ;)

I'd hope'd he'd get some military experience on the ticket, but this probably won't happen. Now, I'm not on Obama's speed-dial, but I'm sure I'll hear the Veep choice anyway.

Clever, sharp and beholden to only truths... and a smirk.

Innovation is built upon the definition of new ideals.

So, if innovation is built upon the definition of new ideals, I suppose the key tool is effective communication. Without effective communication, no one will ever hear the good news.

A Sly Step: Refraining, then returning to Blog

Much ado in past weeks, seems I needed a bit of time to get reacquainted with our new American reality...

The Campaign pre-heats.
DONKEYCRATS get organized.
Appears Billary stepped slithered down and Obama's been afforded latitude to lead his party into the unimagined. Time to show your stuff, hot shot. New speech at new church speaks may reiterates the recent "Cosby" message. Veep? Be wary of a stand-in Femacrat when a popular retired general might work wonders.

REPUBLIPHANTS .
While McCool continues to twist his usually impeccable integrity in a granny knot in order to feed at the elephant teet, his "vote" against the new GI Bill is worry-some. He finally gets a shot at a legitimate big hand for veterans and he pulls out his support. I'm waiting for him to distance himself from the war machine... for the sake of both, his integrity we once adored and the lives of the noble as they continue their duty.

Headlines MIA.
WIMPEACHMENT.
Biggest political story this week -- barely covered. An impeachment resolution lists 35 easily-attributed points of impeachment for W. A bit late for any celebration, but at least it's 'on the public record' for later reference.

TEXAS WHITEHOUSE.
Gov. mansion Burned. Few details. No word from the many video surveillance cameras, but I'm sure Alex Jones will cover the story for us all.

W'S SUPREME MISTAKE.
There are national and international laws to govern how the U.S. treats prisoners of war. W's non-adherence to our own laws and values leads the terror trials to take place through our OWN civilian court system instead of well-defined military war criminal tribunals. Or so it seems. Current expectations may result in pissed-off detainees with personal vendettas.

Goodbye Tim Russert.
We loved to trust him. MSNBC, please remember him by simply uncovering today's truth. Be silent, then awake as the hawk, not the mother hen. My suspicion is: it may take a duo or team to future host Meet the Press.

On vacation... the boy may crawl very soon.

Peggy Noonan's View: Brilliance in Journalism

In this week's article in the Wall Street Journal, Peggy slides America's tiredly-complex sentiment into context with The View from Gate 14.

During my slow motion read, the world may have stopped, and I believe they have awards for such craftsmanship.

Polygamy, Prejudice and Cronyism: Things Real People Are Into and How We Learn About It.

Even Twain speaketh: "Truth is stranger than fiction."

Gasp-Tastic 'Gonzo' Media.
Seems in these modern times of communication, the spirits of Mr. Ripley and Hunter S. Thompson have embodied themselves in the form of gasp-tastic 'gonzo' media. Hour after hour of analysis of the freaks living next door. It's the news. Believe it... or not.

Death of the Sitcom
TV analysts express melodramatic outrage and spew blind psychiatric prognosis at the drop of a sensational headline, these modern lurid American stories are stated, re-stated and debated. We are drawn into the minute-by-minute coverage, leaving little interest for our once-revered family sitcom.

Yes, fading are the moaning evenings of half-hour, prime time, cutesy, half-laughs and vanilla spiritual sludge. Today, more and more Americans are discussing current events and sharing their unique perspective on the perverse facets of our very odd world.

Via 24/7 coverage of American Polygamy, Prejudice and Cronyism, exposing our "reality" has possibly changed the theatre of media forever.


CASE #1 : PolygamyFLDS in Eldorado, Texas.

I KNEW IT!
I've driven by that mini-tabernacle hundreds of times heading south from San Angelo where my parents still reside. I always suspected the property could operate some shady operations going on in such a self-righteous structure.

THE FIX?
I hear the authorities have in custody hundreds of girls and children with tales of arranged "spiritual" marriages with grown, married men. How will these people integrate into society after all this out-of-time abuse?

Best case scenario -- I hope modern Mormons step in, take a leadership role and make a difference. America's most popular LDS members, Mitt Romney and Glenn Beck could take the lead in helping these 400+ children. They share many cultural and religious norms with the abused, but I expect both Romney and Beck will most likely distance themselves from these Fundamentals and their problems.

CASE #2 : Obama vs. Prejudice

There are places in America where men feel strongly that an elected black president will give black people in America a fresh advantage over all others. Fortunately for them, it appears to me that Obama lives and thinks on the far side of this ignorance.

It's my take, that this candidate would make key decisions with both The People and Our Constitution in mind which is quite possibly the fairest of all positions. But, of course, what does a graphic designer know?

CASE #3 : Political Cronyism

Presidents make millionaires and wars, but war-time presidents make millionaires into billionaires. EVERYTIME.

Keeping this in mind can help you make your own choice on election day. More on this topic as the election nears.

But... it's important to note Twain also said, "History does not repeat itself. It rhymes."
Whew.

New Gen TV cures Kids.

This morning, I've stayed at home with a sickly Kai while we wait for an afternoon appointment with the pro-temp Pediatrician.

SITUATION & REMEDY.
Despite a thick, struggling cough early this morning and again a few hours later, he seems in very good nature despite an intermittent gurgle-breath which I'm treating with watered down juice and hope to find/make some saline solution. But -- what helped as much as my simple homeopathic concoctions -- "glad movement".

Additional Rx -- Noggin, a lively cable TV network (from Nickelodeon) which Kai loves. He dances when the actors dance and relieves his mind for at least a little while.

Back to daddy-mode.
