Just incredible! Romney is getting crushed in every swing state, and yet the odds are with him! And I thought Ron Paul supporters lived in an imaginary world.

As for being an ordinary guy, in his teen years and when he was going to college and law school he was in the household of his grandparents, his grandmother being a (white) vice president of a bank. Not exactly livin’ in the projects.

Aside from his personal aggrandizement, it was never clear to me what he had ever accomplished as a significant achievement of service to mankind before his coronation. That lack was highlighted by the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize before all the trash had been picked up from the inaugural parade. When I first heard that news, I assumed it was a satire from The Daily Show. His emergence as the exponent of assassination by remote control makes one ponder the quandary of the future planner of the visitor center at his presidential library, who will try to avoid evoking laughter over the way he has proven the utter cluelessness of the Nobel committee.

Glutton for punishment!

With Sirius XM radio you can also dodge the Obama Speech altogether…

Which like Carl Scott I almost always do. I Listen to top 40 hits, Lithium and Pearl Jam radio, and also ESPN…Also I love the way Sirius has sort of commodified the ideological content!

I mean you can’t make this stuff up:

Channel 125: Conservative Talk.
Channel 127: Liberal Talk.
Channel 130: There is “Authentic Catholic Talk for the serious Listener”
Channel 143: Is for anyone interested in Mormonism, albeit this is simply Called: “Talk about Good” via BYU radio.
Channel 852: “More Conservative talk”
Channel 853: “More Left, Liberal, Progressive Talk.”

You do realize of course that the way Rock Music starts a revolution is simply by absorbing listeners into its content. In a sense Channel 22, or Pearl Jam radio is in a battle for the soul of its listeners against all the other commodified content/religions.

When you are listening to Channel 22, you aren’t listening to any of the other civic, musical or traditional religions. That is you are rejecting all the other pathways/options to the Good. At war with conservatism and progressivism, catholicism and mormonism, and country and rap and R&B and all the other potential “gospel” channels that would seek dominion over your ears.

If you are listening to Obama you are just giving him too much dominion, what if you get in a car accident and die, do you think God will forgive you for rejecting him by not listening to the authentic catholic channel?

Of course at the end of the day if you are listening to Sirius XM radio, you are probably paying Sirius, and like the Capitalist Buddhist, or perhaps the pantheistic opportunist..there are many paths to God(i.e. what brings me revenue, from Sirius’s perspective.)

So the idea that you are listening to Sirius, seems a sort of launching point, and in a way telling about the political climate. Just as one could listen to Obama and reject him, so too could one listen to Romney and reject him.

“We would be stupid not to follow him”, but lets say you reject Obama and embrace the salvation of Mitt Romney…(complete with a lifestyle change to listening to channel 143?)

Aren’t you still in a way listening to Sirius/Harvard Law, i.e. the institution that granted to both the commodity status of the Harvard JD?

It doesn’t make sense or add up, what’s up there, but that IS the message we hear.

“We would be stupid not to follow him.” That’s what I hear from enough people to make me very nervous about November.

I still think the odds are strong he’ll lose, but it’s depressing how close it presently is. There are only three possible explanations for that:

1.) Democrats know O is a zero, and about as egregious a liar as has ever been in the office to boot, but feel they must fight the prospect of the Republicans holding both Congress and the Presidency.

2.) 55% of the nation either a) tunes out politics, or b) only tunes in the “MSM.”

3.) Politically, Americans are morons.
