MISSING THE OBVIOUS

You can't play softball with the "r's" super right or centrists. Take off the gloves in these mid-term campaigns and use them as preliminaries to the main event in 2012.

A couple of instances spring to mind.

The Bush presidency is responsible, responsible for driving the economy off the cliff by never paying for anything, strictly a playboy credit card approach to responsibility - only this time the charges aren't being covered by friendly family pals but by John and Jane Q. Public.

Hammer away at "hot air" congressional representatives. The all talk no ideas or action ones of which there is an abundance.

Now if we could harness that "hot air" into a marketable energy product, we could kill two birds with one stone. One of their chief "hot air" specialists was on C-Span's WashingtonJournal this morning. The one with the surname of Lungren, one of the hard right from California. An eternal energy possibility there.

Along these lines and expanded, is the column todayin the NYT's by Tim Friedman. Now there are many approaches and views by him that I don't share but most of this column I can agree with:

Media TOYS

Silly Sarah from Wasilla has been the media toy of choice for quite a long run. Is she going to have competition from Terry Jones?

I think it might indicate common sense if we all boycotted the cable 'tainment "news" channels.

Making obvious media's sensationalizing of minor incidents ,and magnifying them into mountains, may be the only positive outcome I can think of for this nutjob.
