FB Logic?
I consider F@ceBook to be illogical. Or it uses a type of logic I can't seem to fathom. Logical? Not?

Who shall bear our standard in 2012?
“Who shall bear our standard in 2012?
Palin/Newt? Or should Newt stay behind the scenes as a campaign strategist and one-man think tank? SecState/SecDef/NSA appointee during the transition?
So, it’ll have to be Palin/??? or ???/Palin – where do we find the ??? part? Rubio? Someone currently in obscurity? no matter. Sarah is the essential catalytic explosive ingredient necessary for “transformative change” starting January 2013.
I know we should be talking 2010 but speculating like this is too much fun!. Who is out there that is thermonuclear-ly inspirational yet tough-as-hell enough for the bloody fights certain to come? Who is out there with the General Patton attitude necessary to take on Congress and halt the socialists or, I pray, actually shrink the Federal Government?
The hard part, actually, will be slashing back the metastasized cancer of kudzu-like Federal bureaucracy. Hosanna! She appears to be uniquely skilled to tackle that “Mission Impossible”. He!!, she’s sharp and dedicated enough to succeed! Send Todd over to “chat” with the EPA chairperson while he delivers thousands of pink slips. In person. Send the boneheads back to the private sector, we can re-train them into productive citizens. They’re just government union bureaucrats, they mostly aren’t stupid. Have you read Federal regulations, procedures, forms, etc.? You are NOT an idiot if you can extract a single drop of sense from that gazillion-page steaming sh!tpile of pompous pablum-filled ‘regulations’ and ‘directives’. It’ll be tough on the mindset of the drones…but soon they will thank us for deprogramming them away from the ultimate Cult.
If it can be done, Sarah is the only public figure on my radar with enough spine, skill, charisma and principle to fight the good fight for We The People. And I, like you, am very well informed. Historically well-informed. Enlightened, even. We’re on fire, and we can win!
An amazing super-wave of History propels us forward and fills our sails. We are the children of Jefferson, Madison, Washington, Frankin and Adams – we must act boldly at this cusp or surely we will be boldly acted upon. You know the commies are just waiting for an excuse to complete our enslavement – patient decades have been invested. The evildoers are playing endgame – are we? Are we ready? Will we rise to the historical challenge?
Too early, I know it’s sketchy and very speculative, but I only see one Good Guy/Gal major party (GOP) loyalist NON-RINO available that can inspire us, raise money, get the vote out, make us smile again, only one that shows strength enough for the fight. If Sarah runs, it will be the Mother of All Battles. Hell, I think so highly of the determination she has shown that I can imagine her relishing the prospect of battling the Pravda Legacy Media. It’s long overdue they are put back in their proper place. Side effect: I can visualize the Legacy Media being cratered by Sarah and exposed even to the dumb masses of Voters as the fifth-column communist infiltrating traitors they have been for at least 50 years. Bonus, media discredited and bankrupt!
Sarah Palin. The only game-changing winner conservative candidate on the radar screen.
If you are a more electable/inspirational/competent executive/passionate revolutionary than Sarah, please stand up now and start making noise. The nation is screaming for you to appear!
The ugliness of the attacks on Sarah will probably give me an ulcer, stroke or a heart attack: Watching the Legacy Media throw every stone on the planet at her for 24 months will wound us all. Lies, slander, innuendo, insults, and blasphemous fantasies non-stop 24/7. It will hurt me more than her – I will have to watch from the sidelines as she gets hammered with relentless zeal, and feel the pain she can not show lest the media use even THAT as a weapon against her.
I believe she is tough enough to take it. But I’m not sure that I can!
If she leads the charge across no-mans-land, if she survives the nukes that will be dropped on her, then I guess I am strong enough to survive watching it. Hell, we will all be inspired to charge along with her, bayonets fixed, tar and feathers at the ready, pitchfork held high, with battlecries rising from our united throats!
Posting here at HA will help keep morale high. When Sarah announces her run, we will know beyond doubt
that she is confident in the temper of her steel, and emotionally armored for the fight. This is the fight of our lives, our WWII. We must step up as the new “greatest generation”. If she decides not to run, we can still be confident in her peerless support for the cause and we may then bask in her pleasure of living a “normal” life. May G-d bless.
It is not shameful to decline driving her family and other supporters through the hell of the scorched-earth World War battle the commies will wage. She is a unique force; certainly she will continue to infuse tsunami-force impetus to our cause whether she runs or not.
If she does run, I will cry with shared pain as she suffers the evil cruelty of the media, and I will pray for her strength and grace to be sufficient to the task.
It’s going to be a nasty, nasty, black and evil assault from the Dems no matter who we nominate. The Dems are “all-in” now, expect no quarter. If Sarah Palin is our nominee, G-d protect and sustain her, for the media and Dems will set new lows of mudslinging, venom, and viciousness in the attempt to knock her down.
Maybe they will overplay and make some irrecoverable overreaching mistake (they can’t stop themselves, they are after all emotionally children) but I will feel Sarah and Todd’s pain.
Heh. Todd. Heh. ‘First Dude’. “Call my wife a brainless f—–g —-, will you? Step outside, you pansy #*()#$%^#($!! ‘reporter’ @sswipe, you”. Heh. Todd Palin. Maybe there will be some fun mixed with the pain.
(Apologies for the long post, I already feel the pain of the 2012 fight of our lives. Sarah is almost certainly tougher than I am)

Ignorance and Wishful Thinking
Ignorance and Wishful Thinking
Here we sit in April 2010, more alert and paying more attention than ever. Thanks to new media, tens of millions of Americans are reading, researching primary sources, and exposing political corruption as never before in history, picking it all apart in real-time – previous generations only found out 20 years later in history books.
YouTube. Facebook. Twitter. “Business as usual” is over. The analysts, pundits, poll-takers, etc. are all “professional” “insiders”. And they are all wrong.
Forest. Trees. You know the hackneyed old saying. They can’t see it, or more probably can’t SAY it. They’re pros, remember, they have a boss to answer to.
Well, I’m happily an amateur, so in this endeavor my boss is myself. The “Silent Majority” are hitting the streets as never before, and all research, study, statistics, etc. about what has come before are no longer pertinent. The last time an earthquake of this magnitude occurred in American politics was the anti-Vietnam-War protests of the 1960’s. Yeah.
Ignore the pundits and the pros, the pollsters, number crunchers, and politicians. The “experts” are always wrong at the tipping points of history. “No one saw it coming!” they’ll all moan. “You can’t blame me!”. Yes, I can and will blame you, sir, it was your cushy government or think-tank job to See It Coming and Let Us Know. Or hell, you could always have just Been Competent and Earned Your Pay instead of offering excuses now. “No one saw it coming”: certainly not the vested interests, the “establishment”, and the clueless. There is an earthquake and LANDSLIDE on the way for November 2010.
Picture this in your mind: You’re sitting on the beach, watching waves come in. They come in, unending, and wash up smoothly to cool our feet as they suck the sand from underneath our feet. Every few minutes, the swells combine to crest as a breaking wave a foot or two high, 50 feet from shore, unthreatening. If you sit there and watch long enough, you’ll eventually see several of the breakers randomly converge on a Mach-3 beeline to the shore. This wave scours the beach clean en route to washing out the road 300 feet inshore.
Unlike beach waves measured in minutes or a few hours, human history is written in decades and generations. You need a longer view and knowledge of that which has come before to “see it coming”. But it comes. Ignorance and wishful thinking can't deflect History.
We certainly live in “interesting times”.
(Events of the last year or so are NOT Logical!)

History
History will make note of this time, possibly this very weekend of the 2010 Spring Equinox. Yes, History is being made in these days that will be taught to schoolchildren 100 years from now (Or not - History books are written by the victors).
The Wall Street Journal website allows comments on the Opinion page (opinionjournal.com): 34 million daily page views, 2.3 million daily visitors. Hotair.com is restricted to registered users - Hot Air gets 18 million monthly page views, 1.3 million monthly unique visitors and 120 million ad impressions. HUGE site, and merely "big" site.
In the last few weeks people have been posting, on these sites, about certain Amendments and how many like-minded folks they would need. "Hypothetically", of course...
Either Homeland Security is pouring gasoline on the fire of anger sweeping America trolling for suspects, the citizenry is on the verge of active opposition to the Government of the United States of America, non-government trolls are just being trolls, or the posters lack all tact and/or common sense.
Is this analysis Logical, or not?
(BTW - what's your opinion?)

Somebody forgave me
....or more likely, decades of learned (personal,mental) survival skills kicked in and Logical thoughts prevailed.
I'm better now. Good enough, anyway.
How the hell did I not make a SINGLE post during the 2009 U.S. elections? Too busy supporting my candidates, I guess.
There was only one Logical choice.

God forgive me
I am SO mad. Yes, at them. Thinking evil thoughts.
God forgive me...but that thought isn't logical!
WTF can I do if I can't ask God for absolution? Given my thoughts, maybe Allah is a more "logical" deity for me to worship.
No, no matter how dark my thoughts are, I won't actively worship the Devil.

Late post
A friend at work asks rhetorically, in passing, "How's it going?"
"Waiting to die", I answer.
She freezes, and quickly motions me to a more private place to speak. "What the hell do you mean by That!"
"Just hanging, drifting, not interested in anything, almost no responsibilities except myself, middle aged, no goals or plans. Burned out on trying to date at 47, all these wierdoes in Manhattan and even Long Beach, yet it's so hard to leave. How the hell can you be this bored in NYC?"
She pulls my ear close to her lips as she whispers, "You're already dead..."
She grabs me violently by his collar, and snatched my face close to hers.
"Don't you even think about laying down, you fuck! This is a better place with you here!" My teeth rattled as she shook me. "There are people that rely on you and care about you - you are NOT alone."
Shuddering, I was held tightly in her grasp. This wasn't the bridge of a ship in deadly combat, or an isolated foxhole occupied by two grunts with an incoming artillery barrage. It was just an office building with nothing but commerce and business happening - why was she so vehement?
Then she kissed me - not a quick peck, or a 'We're more than friends' kiss, but the full-on, steaming kiss that Makes Promises for later. "Stick around", she breathed.
And that explained everything.

Okay, I'm a slacker
I've been hanging out on political and sci-fi blogs (bar.baen.com) and newsgroups.
Is there ANYTHING logical about the political circus taking place in the U.S. this year?
I don't see ANY logic except the "Logic of Empire" (google it).
It's SO disapointing.

"What kind of peace?"
"What kind of peace do I mean? What kind of peace do we seek? Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace - - the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living -- the kind that enables man and nations to grow and to hope and to build a better life for their children - - not merely peace for Americans by peace for all men and women - - not merely peace in our time but peace for all time.
So, let us not be blind to our differences - - but let us also direct attention to our common interests and to means by which those differences can be resolved. And if we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity. For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal. "

"Don't Be A Prick."
"Don't Be A Prick."
That guides you through 95% of all ethically questionable situations. Of course, this depends on how you define "prick".
Then too, there's that pesky other 5%.
Good Luck - but Don't Be Another Prick!

Managers and Delusion
"Managers who don't have a plan to regularly talk to everyone on their team are deluded. They believe they are going to learn what is going on in their group through some magical organizational osmosis and they won't. Ideas will not be discovered, talent will be ignored, and the team will slowly begin to believe what they think does not matter, and the team is the company." "
