There Are So Many Ways To See What's Not There (Yet)
There's something more important than spin. Leave it to an emergency to finally allow that truth out. And delivered by Chris Christie, the Republicans truth-teller. Not that it'll make a difference to anybody. This is the NewAge. Truth doesn't matter. Here's Ann Althouse:
Maybe it makes you Mitt Romney supporters nervous to see Chris Christie working smoothly with President Obama. You need to visualize the alternative. Governor Christie is doing exactly the right thing.
Mitt Romney likes to portray himself as a Republican who can work "across the aisle," and Chris Christie is modeling that very behavior. Message: That's what Republicans do. That's a good message, speaking to the very moderates who might drift over to Obama if the Republicans created friction and rancor in the wake of the hurricane.
Forget this isn't Romney, but Christie, and he isn't "the least bit concerned or interested" in Romney right now - Ann's in "political operative" mode and that truth is irrelevant - spin is called for. Let me remind you of what she said when I called her immature over her advertised purchase of a "cartoon" purse:
@Crack Have you ever considered the possibility of being fun-loving? Actually loving fun?
"Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble,…" Ignore the truth of her character, and spin to "fun" - which, in the NewAge, is the highest calling a 60-year old adult professor can reach for. The rubes will follow.
Now she's keeping the "fun" in a disaster - even when politics are being ignored.
Maybe the cow at Evil Blogger Lady can answer this but, is it just me, or should Ann change her blog photo to one of her readers dancing around a golden calf?
For a further example of what I mean, compare Ann's outlook with this statement from a leader of the Mormon "church":
“I have a hard time with historians, because they idolize the truth. The truth is not uplifting.”
See? He might as well have asked, "Have historians ever considered the possibility of being fun-loving? Actually loving fun?" The result would be the same. To those inclined to be followers.
Despite the results, the psychics were undeterred.
Of course they are. And - without a total disaster to clear the air - there's nothing we can do about this. This fantasy land of "fun" during disaster is the Nazi outlook personified, and they will insist on it, shoving their idiotic message down our throats until the day they are defeated.
Truth? What is truth in the NewAge?
It's an all-encompassing disaster - one there's no escaping from - like the constitutional crisis looming for a Romney presidency, specifically, because of Mormonism.
Something Ann Althouse - a professor who teaches religion and the law - should see coming, just as I do, but isn't bothering to explore. She's having "fun" even when there is none. Mark my words:
When it comes to real political disasters, we are being pressed into a doozy,…
You know, I have a hard time just believing historians...my dad (and a couple of my teachers) told me to always read them with an eye to where their bias might lead them away from the truth!
But I don't I don't think Mr. Mormon would like what they then said about authors of "reality based fiction"...and religious leaders (heh heh heh).
Was watching a show on apocalyptic prophecy today, which is hilarious when the experts keep talking about how all these prophecies "make the same claims"...well no shit Sherlocks, think about it.
Anyway, one expert made a pretty good statement about if a person comes forward as a leader, and they promote themselves or their avid fans promote them as some sort of savior who will lead people to the promised land and especially the chosen people (naturally the leader's trusty supporters) then it is time to get the heck away because it isn't going to have a good ending.
Well, here we are: and we have two "saviors" and two groups of special chosen people (and just listen to them: "that's what Republicans/Democrats do..." Jesus H Christ...hand 'em some wings, a harp and a halo already) and two versions of the promised land even. With no place to run to.
At the very least I suppose America has once again done it shown its jolly ability for overkill... (which, along with our optimism is really one of our more charming traits if focused correctly...which it isn't now, but that's the effin' breaks I guess; life sucks).

I'd chain smoke a couple right now, but the old man and I decided to quit cold turkey because they are getting way too expensive...it remains to be seen if I keep what's left of my sanity.
