But for the broad Mrs Butterworth skirts of Father Smiff's "Stop Me" mission I'd be headed off the reservation. My Bryanesque fantasy -- take her over or bust her apart -- no longer seems viable. Back to selling wolf tickets for me.
God, how it beats my ass to realize the necessary torment is not done yet. The misery of the people still needs more time -- they still need longer on the flames. Longer to cook, before the donk DLC full Nelson fails, and the party of Jackson and Bryan can be ripped apart at its class joints.
Alas, we remain, for at least another cycle, at a rebuilding stage, where only sub-party actions can be progressive.
As to the donkery: well shit, folks, once the House is theirs, without ever taking a stand on anything (the Pelosi/Rahm way), it will be clearer than clear that nothing has changed but the color of their handkerchief. The Orthrian core will not be challenged. The party has regained power with them still on the bridge. We can look forward to some petty payback -- two years, till the election in '08, of minimalist opportunistic partisan moves, like show trialing the Bush-Cheney freebooters, as we continue to drift sideways on all dimensions. While we continue to "bloody up" Iraq, and possibly put the domestic economy through a slow corrective strangle.
Ah well, history has her reasons for it all, I guess -- but here's a real bug: if, as I suspect, that hungry Hobbit from Bridgeport wins, the fuckers will claim it's the highest and most robust proof that DLC "centrism" still works best -- indeed, is still the only way to get a jackass into the White House.
We'll just have to fight below their radar, as they use their victory by cunctation as proof positive that pandering to the congenital idiocy of the swingers and triangle heads is a sine qua non: "We gotta regress before we progress."
In fact, the vicious soup hounds will be using it as cover for their real mission -- completing the Orthrian chores still to be done for "the man" and his empire.
So what's left? Boycott 'em... boycott 'em all. in fact now they need a left side shot, not a right side shot -- we need to hit their progs the hardest now, from the Barney Frank frauds to the Dennis Kucinich types. "You're donkeys first, progs second, so screw you." We oughta try beating them so unfairly they're driven into the tiny arms of der totenkopf Lieberschreck hisself -- let 'em cuddle up to that critter for a while and see how they like it.

Most people don't think of themselves or the structure of society in class terms. For the most part, the cubicle people wouldn't dream of forming a union. They're not breaking a sweat, so they're not labor. A handy definition of whether you're working class or not is: can you be fired on one person's say-so? If you can, then you're labor and you need protection. There's been an ugly trick pulled to get people to see differently, and the success of that's reflected in the Orthian con game. That precious something that makes them capable of getting together to arrange their lives, in common, doesn't have to be parked in the greasy palms of people who are close to sociopathically indifferent. I'm amazed that folks would so casually squander an innate and inalienable right.

the scrugg "prole litmus"
one man firing squads
makes it with me
but on the other hand
your larger surmise....
don't you bottom half
confute yourself son ?????
maybe the middle buggary
has other notions and labels
but they make class distinctions
albeit
incompletely unsystematically
episodically
ie
like walkin around humans will
take your favorite reference group
cube farm america
clearly they may actually make no klass distinction between themselves
and their straw boss
maybe even their uber boss
but they make klass distinctions
looking down
like
your sweat count
or
can i show my tatoos
while job site tasking
and as you suggest
those distinctions lead to
conclusions of consequence
unions are for greasers
distinctions are pop corn common
but yes i agree some of them
look from the inside
like
choices
to a cube farmer not being
the straw boss or the straw bosses straw boss
was a choice
perhaps only if our class system hardened into castes
as in brave new world
would we see the system clearly enough to make it
top of the mind
where it belongs
in our causal patternings

Yah I am expecting that as well. And in this convoluted way, several narratives are served. MoveOn DFA can claim the "good fight"... Dkos can claim "they worked for a better day" or some such slop... Lamont can swing a speech, the wife can smile.. then he goes back to legacy wealth and cable for college campuses... and likely will donate to Joe NEXT campaign as well...
and the DLC gets their guy in. Who is really, on alternate days, Hillary's guy too. All so cosy.
Lotta flap and hooey and a few narratives to suit.
