A DAILY INNOCULATION AGAINST POLITICAL AND CULTURAL BULLSHIT

FRESH START FOR 2010!
HERE'S TO A YEAR WITH LESS BULLSHIT.
WE'D RATHER NOT BE WRITING AS MUCH AS WE DID IN 2009.

Mr. Petite has been an adviser to both the Bush and Obama administrations (neither of which ever asked for his advice - and they certainly never took it, so don't blame Tweet) and is a Senior Fellow at (and is supported entirely by) the ETHICS AND THEORY INSTITUTE OF TERMINOLOGY (EATIT), a foundation underwritten by the parents of a United States Senator in return for Mr. Petite's silence on certain important matters. Which explains why he doesn't do TV.

Mr. Petite is a native of virtual New Orleans, and therefore a legal immigrant to his actual residence, so he has never had to do migrant farm work or landscaping. (He did do some shrimping in the virtual bayous on some of the days he played hookey from school.) The use of the word "onions" is metaphoric, or something. His sole contact with actual onions is in some of the better gumbos.

Want Obama To Be Bolder? Take To The Streets!

Want Obama To Be Bolder? Take To The Streets!

So which came first - chicken or egg? Obama backing off his promises or his supporters backing off Obama? I think Froomkin made the wrong choice. Why are progressives not in the streets? Well, because they're out of the habit of course. But moreso because the last time they got in the streets - 2008 - they wound up betrayed. It may be a while before they get up the "hope" to do it again - and when they do, it will not be for Obama. If any politician has earned the allegiance of progressives, it's Nancy Pelosi. And maybe yet Harry Reid.

Right now Congress does not need to be reminded by progressives of what is expected from them - other than those Democrats who are moving against the wishes of their constituents. It's the president who needs a reminder, and frankly it's a waste of time. All plans and intentions should be diverted around the White House. Nothing can be expected from those yahoos.
