It's not...Just my imagination

in print today
Remember the song...Just my imagination, wasn't it, running away from me? Yes, it's just my imagination...

This morning down in the left column of Drudge, I read about over-saturation of the new presidency and how it might demystify Obama's attraction to the masses. However, when I went in to read further, it was an article written by Peggy Noonan in today's Wall Street Journal.

Blah, blah, blah...then the revelation that no, I haven't been imagining something, others are waking up as well...

People are getting the mood of the age in their in boxes. How many emails have you received the past few months from acquaintances telling you in brisk words meant to communicate optimism and forestall pity that "it's been a great ride," but they're "moving on" to "explore new opportunities"? And there's a broad feeling one detects, a kind of psychic sense, some sort of knowledge in the collective unconscious, that we lived through magic times the past half-century, and now the nonmagic time has begun, and it won't be over next summer. That's not the way it will work. It will last a while.

Biden to head middle class task force to assess how to help us make it through, to the other side...power and the lack thereof...
Now this is scary...Mr. Gaff himself, given the task to help us out? After all, Biden was so happy to be living in Public Housing now. Who are we kidding here? The middle class is being eliminated. We have been destroyed, as Noonan states here...

There's a sense among many, certainly here in New York, that we somehow had it too good too long, a feeling part Puritan, part mystic and obscurely guilty, that some bill is coming due. Hard to get a stimulus package that addresses that.

blah, blago
Isn't this a sign of the times when the powerful, think they can get away with anything? Power, and the pot calling the kettle black...all those Senators making judgment calls that, "Yes, you are eliminated!"

Personally, I think Blago may be guilty, but he gave us a telling sign when he said that "they knew how politics was run"...hey, that sure was honest. It scared them as they knew they had to go along with the crowd, but how have they performed in similar circumstances.

I have to give it to Blago, he's real smart, but not smart enough...who wanted him out of office and why? Was he too greedy and power mad?
Noonan's take

(The guilt was part of the power of Blago. He's the last American who doesn't feel guilt. He thinks something is moral because he did it. He's like a good-natured Idi Amin, up there yammering about how he's a poor boy who only wanted to protect the people of Chicago from the flu. You wish you could believe it! You wish he really were what he is in his imagination, a hero battling dark forces against the odds.)

Noonan's diagnosis

I think there is an illness called Goldmansachs Head. I think it's in the DSM. When you have Goldmansachs Head, the party's never over. You take private planes to ask for bailout money, you entertain customers at high-end spas while your writers prep your testimony, you take and give huge bonuses as the company tanks. When you take the kids camping, you bring a private chef. Goldmansachs Head is Bernie Madoff complaining he's feeling cooped up in the penthouse. It is the delusion that the old days continue and the old ways prevail and you, Prince of the Abundance, can just keep rolling along. Here is how you know if someone has GSH: He has everything but a watch. He doesn't know what time it is.

From Blood Sweat and Tears song, "does anybody really know what time it is?"

For several months I have included information from George Ure's site www.urbansurvival.com and for good reason.

As stated many times before, there is a computer program developed and used by a friend of his, Cliff, referencing "predictive linguistics." Basically, taking all the "words" flying in the ether, somehow, a future knowledge comes forth and wallah, you see in advance what will occur. Who said knowledge is power...and having a small glimmer of what is coming, opens many eyes.

When I see it, I will bring it, cause "I will be a looking!"

HOPE!
And just on Fox at 4:12pm Eastern time, Michael Steele, former Lt. Governor of Maryland, has been elected GOP Chairman. From his brief speech, I believe he will bring back a strong and conservative winning team of Republicans to our country.

have a great weekend!
