Freedom At Least
David Frum says the stellar palin' to brown dwarf cannot be reversed.

Sarah Palin Redeemed
No she has not returned to our Mother Mary. She has returned to "The Lady". To Ayn Rand.
At a recent lunch with Alan Greenspan, Palin looked into her Alaskan Green Tea leaves (other guests were startled to bear witness to her rogue action of pouring the dregs of her tea into her left palm) and there she saw ... a cigarette! The symbol of our Lady of Capitalism! The Icon! As if glowing in the dark of midday in Nome on the very cusp of the winter solstice (they were in Georgetown, but we wax poetic regardless.)
We fully expect Todd Palin to follow in her conversion and to emerge as Hank Reardon "Todd" Palin. But he will still be working the phones and pumping out those e-mails of good common sense solutions. Like the revival of mercantilist doctrine (revised by Revelations newly translated from the Koine.)
No longer will Palin be reviled as a total nutter who attended 5 or more colleges just to graduate in journalism. No! For that we have ... Pamela Geller.
True, some of the Rand faithful reemerged as professional skeptics and psychologists. Sure, "The Passion of Ayn Rand" was not the Passion of Jeshua.
We are all children of Urania, tempted by Ganymede, chomping down on the bent spoon of holy telekinesis. But by Grace, and Grace alone, a Governor, redeemed.
Fact: the theory of legal tender was first expounded in "We, The Living" and not in "We".
Fact: the Fairbanks Gold Rush Fever is not contagious before puberty. We are now living in the latter days of that very fervor.
Fact: pseudo-pentecostalism like crypto-pentecostalism cannot be established by lie-detector but only by firm grappling with vipers and other deadly serpents on a "Blue" Sunday before witnesses both saved and unsaved. Note: some Evangelicals accept any Wednesday evening before a "Blue" Sunday, known as an EP proof.
Advert: Pastors, Mission leaders, lend an ear: Hoakley Signs of Arkansas and Alabama can increase your prime sermon attendance just by a change of name. Gone are the days of hard-to-read labels. Help us transform your out-dated Evangelical Pentecostal Temple into The Community Center Church of your choosing. Cafe and bookstore franchises available. Feeling like an architect manquée? That new sanctuary can rise before your very eyes! Lacking the numbers to open a record studio and press your own label? We can show you the way! We can get you back on the path! CCC, the road to JC for so many tax-free innovators. CCC, from Hoakley Signs, in these, our latter days.

Sarah Palin: Putsch or Revival ?
The rogue idea of a Pentecostal Putsch versus a national Pentecostal Revival - a notion rising pure like a sweet vapor out of the American permafrost - this might be the idea whose time has come!
Out of Wasilla, a new leader emerges with a vision: let your husband make the phone calls that test for loyalty! One call to Canada should be all that Steve Harper needs: one call from Todd and commercial fishing on the Grand Banks will be restored! Todd for Cod ! Todd, the mouthpiece for cod!
With the revival of the long dormant urge to annex Canada so as to link Adventists in Walla Walla with murky evangelicals in Wasilla, annexation is sure to be welcomed by Newfoundland secessionists. But will Newfoundland renounce satanic Labrador to finally couple with Rhode Island! Nantucket! Martha's Vineyard! Catalina! Manhattan!
With ships from the Alaskan National Coast Guard enforcing the oil and gas embargo on St. Perre and Miquelon, North American Unity is at hand! Only the rise of the Pentecostal Permanent Revolution Tea Party south of the Mexico City beltway can take us further, higher, in our flight to unite our American Northwest Passage with our American Panama Canal!
First we take Newfoundland! Can Caracas be far behind! (enter, flute solo, lilting, faint; fade to FoxNews.)
Fact: the British Canada arctic lease expires in 2012, after which Northern Canadians, long trapped in the Yukon, will be free to choose France or America.
Motto: No man is an island: is wife is a bridge to anywhere!
Advert: Telephone loyalty tests: learn from the experts! Telemarketing evangelist teaches secret of the telephone handshake. Waste no more time quizzing and querying evasive public servants! No face-to-face confrontations! No reliance on third-hand lessons from Scientologists! This is not a cult! Loyalty! The new political culture! And only a phone call away! (e-mail instruction available on our BBS. PAC's welcome.)

Atheist defies "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"
The rumor mill has it that the son of a former governor has come out in the United States military as a morally-bankrupt atheist!
While we are not able to confirm, when a soldier goes rogue, it is almost certain to be someone who has FoxNews-worthiness.
As "one nation under the Christian God" we can ill-afford to tolerate the manicheanations of these twisted perverts - unless they happen to be the child of a FoxNews-worthy politician - or, honor be unto them, former politician.
How FoxNews will handle this: they will doubtless break-away for contributor commentary just as the liberals start the free give-and-take of unrehearsed question-and-answer.
It is reassuring to know, that the father of an child born out of wedlock is at least not gay! But an atheist! A first-born son! One they could have drowned if they had only known!
Fact: genetically-determined atheism, when determined by palm-reading, is grounds for drowning the newborn under the proposed revisions to the constitution of the Republic of Alaska.
Long live the Republic of Vermont - home to the Armed Forces stockade for unrepentant atheists (but only those who were outed by their own free will.)
Advert: new biofeedback innovation for water-boarding atheists! Accurate measurements of the dissolution of free will in even saline ice water! Accurate to 24 Fairinheight. Warning: even water-proof GSR electrodes must not be used for electro-shock or humane electrocution. call our order entry desk if not sure. Technically correct, is (technically) always your best bet!

An obvious spallnns correction: putsch
Sarah Palin has said that Americans are ready for a revolution, but this is less convenient than a simple putsch.
"Putsch" is easier to write on the palm of your hand: forget "velvet revolution", this is the "palm putsch". The Palin palm putsch.
Why putsch and not revolution? Because in a representative democracy, when the left is the majority and elects a majority who try to organize and pass legislation as a majority the only thing sore losers have left - especially those who know they should have won, would have won and WILL win - is the putsch. Not a beer-hall putsch. A tea party putsch!
The fear of a putsch is thought to have driven the government-in-waiting to move their most recent shhadow cabinet meeting to an obscure beach hotel in Hawaii.

spalinns and demagogues
Are spalinns essential to demagogues and demagogy?
The issue is not likely resolved by definitions alone. The interplay between lies, exageration and misplaced emphasis have to be understood in terms of the intentions of the speaker, the presumed opportunities and the presumed audience.
It is possible that a hopeful demagogue spouts "canards" and "howlers" with the intent of elicitiing an over-reaction by the outraged.
I am open to suggestions, clarification, rebuttals and alternatives: the aim is to understand the relationship between knowledge, science, falsehoods, the polis and power.
spalinns would not matter if demagogy were not a real risk in even a constitutional federal democracy. Recent events in Iran under Iranian theocracy would seem to prove that spalinns present as much a risk to welfare of the people in that context as they do in the context of liberal democracy.

spalinns and hubris
spalinns are not just hubris.
Perhaps hubris in science does go with arrogance and a certain naivete.
Take the example of behaviorist psychologists embracing the exclusions and strictures of logical positivism. Decades later we acknowledge that Pavlov's dogs and Skinner's pigeons were not automatons. Even lab rats left to their own devices revert to communal rat solutions to fascinating problems for any species living in colonies or in over-crowding or contending with other constraints. Perhaps what was missing was not a theory of consciousness so much as a theory of general anaethesia.
The belief in technique informed by science was certainly embraced by the American demagogues of the Technocracy movement and Stalin's technocrats. Only one had unfettered power for decades: the US Army Corps of Engineers was eventually restrained (in part through mandated peer review.)

spalinns: a pronunciation guide
True "spalinns" are pronounced "spellin's" as in "There are no agreed spellings in science".
There is no singular. No singular idiotic denial of scientific research, data, theory or accepted fact consititutes "spalinns". The term 'spalinns' is never capitalized.
spalinns occur at the point where one bit of idiocy is only conceivable in active participation with another egregious moronic belief.
spalinns due not constitute a belief system.
spalinns are a result of the willingness to pretend that science is just a way of talking so as to pursuade people to accept a point of view. Any strident political discourse or theology is as good as any scientific culture, institution, discourse or movement.
spalinns result from the notion that nothing can be proven wrong, but that those who disagree with you are obviously wrong - and more so with repetition. twitter is the place to repeat.
The end of science in the medieval world of Islam was due to a fatwa likely inspired by a nexus of spalinns. Nothing is new under the spell of spalinns.
Doctor Johnson should not be blamed for English spellin's.
