McPalin finally play the race card/Governor Palin takes to lying like a pig to slop

Governor Palin surrounded by supporters at a Saturday rally

By Pablo Fanque
All This Is That National Affairs Editor

On three separate occasions Saturday (and likely more by now), Sarah Palin played the race card, saying "This is not a man who sees America like you and I see America." He is "palling around with terrorists who would target their own country."

Her reference to Obama's relationship with William Ayers, a member of the Vietnam-era Weather Underground, is an out and out lie; not her usual clueless blatherings, but a willfully confected prevarication. They were on some boards in Chacago together, but no one recalls them being "pals." Obama was still a kid when the Wearthermen threw their last bombs, and has denounced their actions on numerous occasions. By saying he is "not like us" she not so subtly suggests the Hawaii-born Obama with a Nigerian father is not really an American at all. Of course, John McCain wasn't even born in the United States. But never mind that.

Playing the race card in front of her almost exclusively white audiences is a clear demonstration of just how desperate the McPalin campaign has become. Unfortunately, even in a tight race, character assassination takes more than four weeks. Perhaps it is time for some more interviews with the Governor.

Palin's debate performance, as pathetic as it was, has clearly emboldened the campaign. This is not particularly shocking when you recall Senator McCain's track record on racial matters: he opposed a National Holiday to honor Martin Luther King, and later refused to call for for the removal of a Confederate flag from South Carolina's Capitol.

One man, one vote,

"One man one vote
Now izzat really real?
The name of our game is
Let's make a deal.

Now people got their problems
The haves and the have-nots.
But the ones that make me listen
Pay for 30-second spots!"

- Senator J. Billington Bulworth

Complete list of Jack Brummet poems published on All This Is That

I have a selfish reason for posting these indexes every six months or so. . .it's the way I keep track of all these poems and save them to an actual manuscript. . .like we did in the old days. I long ago learned in my line of work that computers, hard drives, and software can only be trusted so far (not as far as you can throw them). Sometimes the only copy of a poem exists temporarily on All This Is That, until I save it off with its brothers, sisters, and cousins on a couple (four separate) hard drives (my work drive, my work external USB drive, my home drive, and my home external drive). But even then, I am never sure. . .I've been burned that many times! My mistrust is so all-encompassing, I don't write or create anything on a computer that isn't being saved every five minutes. My fear of flying is a minor peccadillo compared to my fear of hard drives.

Following is a list of poems from November 15, 2004 up to a couple of days ago. The other reason for an index or list is in case anyone wants to dip in and read a few. Writing poetry and biography was the ostensible reason I started this blog four years ago, but in the interim, art, lists, parody and satire, ufo's and greys, travelogues from Europe, Asia, Texas, England, Mexico, New York City, California, and Boston, and most of all, politics have also weaseled in, and like the proverbial camel's nose in the tent, have claimed their own chunk of turf here. That's OK too, but I admit having a soft spot in my heart for the poems.

The days when thousands of people visit here don't happen on the poetry days. It's the cheap shots, stories with a high placement in Google (Condaleeza Rice Naked, Enumclaw horse sex, etc.) parodies, scandalous stories, and tantalizing headlines that suck people in. I just kind of hope they poke around and find a hillbilly story or poem or painting or even some blatherings by Pablo Fanque they like.

Flip-flopping between the poles of fear

Isn't there a point where everything about Sarah Palin as Vice-President turns and pivots? Isn't there a moment, goshdarnit, when it all topples over and "funny but a little scary" becomes "sort of funny and really scary" ? Did it already happen and we didn't even notice, or are we just flip-flopping between the poles of fear?

Phil Lesh and Friends video: Help On The Way with the always awesome Joan Osborne

Here is a truncated YouTube video of Phil Lesh and Friends performing at the Warfield in San Francisco in 2006. This incarnation of Phil and Friends includes Phil on bass and vocals, John Scofield (!) and Larry Campbell on guitars, Rob Barraco on keyboards, John Molo on drums and Greg Osby on reeds. Oh yeah, and Joan Osborne, one of my favorite singers and a total Deadhead and awesome Dead interpreter.

One of the best Dead shows I've seen featured her on many vocals...this was a post-Jerry incarnations of the band known as The Dead. I saw them at The Gorge with my perennial show buddies Dave Hokit and Dean Ericksen, and Mary Curran, who I believe was pregnant with twins at the moment. Joan Osborne's joy of performing is always palpable and wonderful. I love this woman! And Phil too.

Vote November 4th! In order of preference a) Obama-Biden; b) the Wackos' Ron Paul and Ralph "Dingbat" Nader; or c) McPalin

click to enlarge

Either on November 4th, or now, if you're one of those who live in the eight states with early voting, you need to cast your ballot. If you haven't registered to vote, DO IT TODAY. . .a few states have looser laws, even up to allowing you to register the day you vote. . .but don't count on that. Reigister this Friday. And then vote for the Obama-Biden team. If you must, vote for McBush-Palin, or for one of the wacko side-stream candidates like Ron Paul or Ralph Nader. The third option is to sit on your hands and complain for the next eight, or twelve years.
