The debate debate
Political advisors are so stuck in the Nixon/Kennedy debates. Things have changed so much in the past .. what .. 50 years? geez…
The debate of the Democratic Presidential candidates yielded some clear results. HRC won hands down on policy. Biden won hands down on personality. Gravel won hands down as the whack job.
If I was on Obama’s team- I’d be working on one thing: Get your policy down. Find specific examples that show you know this stuff. The guy is SO GREAT at rapport - he needs some work on debating with policy.
One way to do this: experiential extrapolation. List the things he has done and make them relevant to the major issues that face our culture.
I worry about his comment about the environment. What have you done in the past 90 days to address the environment? Don’t you have an answer/ if you dont… go watch Al Gore’s movie….
I haven’t been bloggin much.. trying to finish my book.
I am only blogging now to AVOID writing my book….

South San Francisco
The Inn at Oyster Point.
A great little place to have a writing retreat. Every room has a fireplace and a view.

The trepanning
It is happening again. It isn’t even close to the election and it is clear.
I love being a liberal. I wear the badge proudly with the ink on my skin and the color of my hair.
The issue with the national presidential race is the island of Washington DC. The campaigns have circled the wagons and do not understand they are wearing Dittos to a 501 concert.
My political party is two steps behind. As an entrepreneur, I get that to be successful, I must be at least two centimeters in front of the competition.
There is a new communcation reality : I have talked about it before. If I hear one more candidate say,
I THINK
I will defenstrate myself. I think waters down the effectiveness of what the person is saying. Why do we have this virus: the I THINK VIRUS. Tired of it.
Take out a pencil. Now. Right now. I will wait. I will type slow so you will not miss anything.
Great big dogs eat animals
FACE
If you do not know piano you do not know what the heck I was just typing.. very.. slow….
anyway.. ready?
write down I THINK
now,
put a LINE through it. Remove this phrase from your vocab.
Example
I think we should get out of Iraq.
Really?? Do you think?
how about
We MUST get out of Iraq.
Hear it?
I little better.
Sigh
Protest is futile!
Infiltration is fertile!
I have been singing this mantra for years in my classrooms. The days of dressing unlike THEM and standing outside chanting and protesting are gone.. in terms of effectiveness. Long term strategic plans of infiltration net the best value.
Enter on the stage: forest ethics!
(dramatic music here)
They get it! Finally. Read the article below and DON’t stop there.. read the one about Victoria Secret on their website. Bravo!
