speeches facts IT fallacies: SOTU #2
Palin has not cornered false "facts" and uncommon fallacies. There is still Bachmann and Foxx. And Obama.
No mention of the Mortgage Interest Deduction or savings. No mention of the mandatory retirement age given life expectancy. No attempt to rethink "full employment" and the Baby-Boom retirees.
I meander through some of these topics over at http://eclectic-pencil.blogspot.com/2011/01/win-future.html in my regular blog.

Palin Beck
One demagogue to another:
"I hate violence," it said. "Our children will not have peace if politicos just capitalize on this."
What did she mean? That to overcome the unintended effects of First Amendment rights that Americans need to exercise their intended Second Amendment rights?
Does her church teach that what is coming is "peace" and will it be for "all children" or for "our chldren"?
What is the belief concerning the likely outcome of a far-right "revolution" in America? Federation with Canada? US troops south of the Rio Grande? C-5 Galaxies "repatriating" those elitist anti-Americans?
Revelations: not yet in an Amendment to the Constitution of the USA, part of a nation under a jealous God.

Christian ObamaCare and Pentecostal Palin (J. Calvin, not J-P II)
The sharing taught by Jeshua, the Nazarene, an itinerant stone-cutter, seems missing at the Uncle Sam tea parties.
His Buddhist teachers talked somewhat differently: the itinerant healer model was based as much on sharing as on barter (Yeshua, that is - not 'Sam' who is a fictitious icon.)
But once repealed, us (those touched by Grace, I suppose) will try to get more surgical bang for our buck outa those friendly not-so-big sickness-unto-death insurance companies.
It's as good as money in an unregulated bank (an Evangelical Savin-n-Loans) without that Commie-plot FDIC of those FDR'ers.
Oh, btw, the insurance actuaries program in APL (from satanic farma-Kanada) which looks like Greek. Geee-suhs!
PS
we will keep medicare and social insecurity for gramps cuz without it how could we afford to tithe our 10% and still keep that ole geezer from groaning on the sofa bed downstairs ... he's groaning now in the Hotel-8 elder-hostel on the I-40 service road jess fine, thank all ya'll very much.

Jon Stewart Nonsense Trumps Palin
Jon Stewart's interview with Marilynn Robinson was beyond belief. Jon knows that astrophysics is based on faith. The rationality of science reduces to fideism. Truly sophomoric.
I will just stop watching or listening to Jonathon Stuart Leibowitz - the interview was not amusing, or informative or satirical or ironic - it was just dumb. Compare any interview with Murray Gell-Mann. So astronomy will now be on a par with astrology. What was the David Hilbert quote? Or do we defer to Ronald Reagan's insight? Careful observation led to the dark matter hypothesis as much as esoteric theory: so dark matter is "Devil's Dung" or is it "souls of infidels". Pick your ignorance, Jon!
"If one were to bring ten of the wisest men in the world together and ask them what was the most stupid thing in existence, they would not be able to discover anything so stupid as astrology. "
attributed to mathematician David Hilbert
"I don't guide my life by it ... I don't know enough about it to say, is there something to it or not ... and I don't mean to offend anyone who does believe in it, or engages in it."
Ronald Reagan on astrology
But will he interview the woman whose careful science gave us some of the first observational evidence for dark matter??? And will her personal views on mystery and faith be of any interest? Her views on sex? On vegetables? What she thinks causes her occasional constipation?

Palin Yahoo! News
News item.
Oh yes, or should I say "Eureka!"
The Yahoo! News item of Tue Jun 29, 3:42 pm ET was posted credits to Liz Goodwin .
In the news pic the non-sentence Latin motto for the college is in full view: "Vox Veritas Vita".
Or as I would have this one in a mere Italian non-phrase topic sequence: Voce Verita Vita.

Palin and the Baptist
In case you missed the salon.com story on Palin and the Baptist preacher who refuses to condemn all gays, lesbians and transexuals ... and think that she knows anything about Iran and the Holocaust.
Palin may have missed that course on "20th Century History for Journalism Students" when she was flip-flopping from one of her five (or was it six?) colleges before she somehow got her degree ... during the first months of the Russian invasion of Poland (that was fall 1939, Gov'nor P.) ... some Polish refugees did come to find shelter in Persia. The Nuremberg Laws were passed BEFORE we got to work on atomic bombs. The Warsaw Ghetto was slaughtered BEFORE the Poles were slaughtered in Warsaw (as the Russians waited east of the Vistula.) The French police were the main force rounding up Jews in France. Most Jews in Bulgaria - like most in Denmark - survived. Raoul Wallenberg disappeared at the hands of the Russians.
I know - it's complicated. Many people refused to believe the Jews were actually being gassed. It guess it kind just happened - sorta like, you know, "dropping the big one!" Many people believe the Iranians are trying to build nuclear weapons. And Obama is jest afeard to drop in a few bunk-busters! Heck, you don't go after moose with a .22 - do you Dad? (Her Dad knows all about ammunition but her got caught up in that dinosaur hoax and now thinks the World is more than 7000 years old, silly ole fool ... but he was just teaching science - it's not like he was peddling that baloney at Sunday Schools to corrupt our innocent children!)
Iran is complicated. Sometimes they call it Persia. Sometimes they speak Farsi and then they go an get a notion to goin' back to speakin' PErsian. Before our new CIA over-threw the Iranian government to install our friend and yours, the Shah, the Jews of Tehran lived in relative peace. Very naive of them. The Ayatollah was living openly in France. Only in recent years - really just since Arnold became Gov'nor - the middle-class and professional Jews of Iran have fled to Los Angeles (oops, they are on the West Coast and may vote progressive-liberal-communist-Dimocrat.)
Was it the United States which interfered with Jews emigrating from 1946 Europe to anywhere other than Palestine? Heck no! Were those conservative members of the State Department or liberals? And did France help? Should we have offerd the DP's of Europe a new home in Alaska from where they could almost see the "home" provided in Stalin's autonomous Jewish republic as far from Moscow and Leningrad as he could find on the map? Are you kidding? What would they know about salmon fishin' and moose hunting - and most all of that we do on Saturdays anyway!
Well. it's just so dang complicated. And the three words "Israel", and "Iran" and "Obama" all fit neatly on one hand. And of course Netanyahu has been organizing get-togethers - "Come on in for tea!" - at new settlements all over the West Bank and Arabs are welcome there, too! (say, Bill, is that the West Bank of the "blue" Nile or the "white" Nile? - and whose on the East Bank? - Istanbowl or Constandinopel?
Of course, if anything ever DID happen to the State of Israel, The End of Days might have to be re-scheduled - but, heck, that's happened before, right? RAPTURE! Moose-hunting in heaven means never having to say "re-load!"
PS Pelosi might be the Anti-Christ! Cuz anything's possible, right? You-Bitcha!
