Just for the record, Canadians, (spelled Canadiens in certain parts of the country), spell "Leafs" L-I-E-F-S, from Old English lēof; akin to Old English lufu or love. Thus the Leafs are love, however the exchange of bodily fluids at rinkside is considered bad form regardless of the language employed by the participants. Gut Goethe! Good gawd! (sp. god in certain circles).

In reply to Micahel Bloomberg? So ...

I like the way Bloomberg has handled the Ground Zero mosque thing. He has stated that his father had to buy a home through a lawyer so that the sellers wouldn't know he was Jewish and that he didn't want anybody to ever have to go through that. This is a direct application of rule instated (by order of appearance) Rabbi Hillel and Jesus of Nazareth... "Do unto others...". Since Bloomberg is Jewish this ethical stand in defense of Muslim rights is doubly meritorious. If Israel were governed by somebody like Michael Bloomberg there would be peace in the Middle East.

The outcomes represent a huge success for Karl Rove and the establishment GOP. They have already gotten what they needed out of the tea party and this outcome has seriously marganalized the faction as a competing power within the establishment coming into 2012. They poured the money which corporations passed through American Crossroads (etc.) where the corporations directed, just like they were supposed to, and now they are in a strong position to say "Next time, let us handle the politics and you guys just provide the money."

There is still a GOP war a-brewing, but this outcome was a massive win for the traditional powers that be in the GOP. They got the House and dealt a severe blow to their internal rivals.

Leafs started off hot, won their first 4.

Since then, lost 7 of 8. Last night, to Ottawa.

I was near suicidal. The Dems losing was just par for the course.

And now... back to the table!

hey as long as Americans can tell other countries how to spell the names of their national heroes, it's all good!

Now, I've got to go back to my heavenly council table...

Dude. Stay out of this. The point of Seaton's blogs now is for us stressed Lefties to gather and argue about national character and how that's determining events. Also, ethnicity. And religion. Jews? Fatiguing. Turks? Noble and unyielding. Germans? The epitome of national character, impossible to break, never questioning their national identity, back through the eons. Americans? Don't ask. But it's not liberal, that's for damn sure.

Never mind history. We can rewrite it.

Never mind politics. It's irrelevant.

And damn sure, never mind spelling.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to find out what the Canadian national character consists of. Hockey and maple syrup, sure, but I suspect a touch of global behemoth as well.

People take their comfort where they can Art, you know my reading of the Tea Party is that it only exists to drive Republican moderates so far to the right that they cannot make any deals. Paralyzing the system is their objective... Mission accomplished.
