Chutzpah
Published on 2011-07-23 12:20:00
“Tact in audacity is knowing how far you can go without going too far.” –Jean Cocteau, 1889-1963. Michelle Bachmann can’t pronounce it, but Mitch McConnell’s got it. Chutzpah is a Yiddish word that means gall, audacity, nerve, impertinence, insolence, hubris, guts, etc. You can probably think of at least one plural spherical synonym that’s very close to its meaning. Rep. Michelle Bachmann, R-MN, said the other day that President Obama had chutzpah, annoying Jewish voters because she [..] > read more

(That’s New Mexican for Hot Links) “Hold summer in your hand, pour summer in a glass, a tiny glass of course, the smallest tingling sip for children; change the season in your veins by raising glass to lip and tilting summer in.” – Ray Bradbury. My “Favorites” list has gotten out of hand again, so it’s time to make the sausages. I thought I’d start with some technological advances that are in the works or at least are claimed to be. New technology is how we’re going to have to [..] > read more

Everything Is Compromise “In war, the strong make slaves of the weak, and in peace the rich make slaves of the poor.” – Oscar Wilde, 1854-1900. Congress will raise the debt limit. If Congress doesn’t raise the debt limit in the next few days – before August 2nd at the very latest – the world will face economic collapse. Yes, there are Teabags who hope that will happen, but there will be enough “cool heads” to avoid default and its dire consequences. Congress will raise the debt l [..] > read more
McCain Makes a Stand Again

Opposing the Right-Wing Media Takes Courage “These are questions that every member of Congress needs to think about long and hard, but especially my Republican colleagues.” –Sen. John McCain. In what has been a stifling atmosphere since the present Congress convened in January, I appreciate any breath of fresh air that stirs the lockstep Republican miasma. Once again, Sen. John McCain, R-AZ, has provided a bit of a breeze. He made the above comment this morning in reference to participatio [..] > read more
My Fellow Boomers:

An Open Letter "There is absolutely no greater high than challenging the power structure as a nobody, giving it your all, and winning!" – Abbie Hoffman, 1936-1989. I remember walking through a parking lot with my mother when I was quite young. “Look, Morrie,” she said, pointing, “a two-toned car!” She explained that this was a new fad in Detroit, where they made cars. I thought about it a moment and then asked why cars didn’t come in lots of colors. Two-toned 1955 Packard [..] > read more
