The criteria for what is logical has dropped dramatically. Donald Trump talked about running for President. Roseanne wants to be President. Santorum is winning races. We're in a "Twilight Zone" episode.

I think we'd all like to believe that there are certain issues that should be post-partisan; a universal need or desire, embraced and supported by everyone.

The trouble is, there are always b*st*rds out there that have no desire other than their own enrichment and they will take advantage of any post partisanship and f*ck us all.

Well thank you

Well thank you again.

Ironically, as I write this, Larry O'Donnell is skewering Trump again.

Larry holds nothing back and certainly would never call himself post partisan. hahahaha

That is kind of my take on

That is kind of my take on this 'category of pundit' bologna.

Somehow that portion of the editorial staff is above it all.

When I discovered the definition from Seeman; it sounded more like Obama's take on things--at least during his first two years.

You might be right here.

This is logical.

Except it is not logical. If you have left leaning and right leaning then it would have to be Post leaning. hahhah

Oh well...

Post Partisan, where no-one gets totally what they want, is, of course, not to be confused with Most Marzipan, in which the very rich get way too much of everything they want.

The 1% live in a Most Marzipan world. The 99% can only dream of a Post Partisan world ... And it was ever thus..

Having not taken Latin and sleeping through French and German, I took the term Post-Partisan to meant that the Washington Post was presenting partisans.

I don't think any of the four horsemen (or others of their ilk) have uttered the words, 'I am open to and will listen to ANY who have other ideas and approaches about -insert issue-.'

Hmmm. But, I know I've heard that said (with, IMO, sincerity and open mind/heart) from another. Now, let me think, who has stated this and followed thru more than once? Hmmm.

So many good, valid talking and thinking points dd! Again, will copy and keep in file - no doubt to quote often.

Appreciate.

This is precious. Hell, this

Thank God I now know for sure what bias for action means.

I thought post-parmesan meant the spaghetti after you put on the cheese.

Looks to me there are too many over-riding commitments on your list. Remember, you can't over-ride if you're under-funded.

'A bias for action' is what a tailor calls making a dress for a woman wrestler with a big bosom.

'Compromise is the only endgame' means that if all else fails, get some credit for yourself by agreeing with the other guy to stop hitting each other with clubs.

'Criticism needs to be well-balanced by self-criticism' means that you can call a guy a schmuck as long as you add, "I understand, I used to be one too."

Being 'simultaneously creative and practical' is a trick axiom. That's like saying be simultaneously brilliant and full of beans'... it's only accomplished in two ways; by 1) lying about being creative or 2) hiding all the financial records.
