Remember this....when it is a Republican you can count on the life of your kids that NOTHING is ever a mistake or an accident of chance. They do all they do on purpose, they say all they say on purpose. Not a single thing that the Bush administration has done was an accident. They purposely attacked Iraq to steal the oil. They purposely want the war for oil to go on forever! They purposely let people in New Orleans die. They purposely are keeping thousands of them away and little do they know.....they'll never be allowed to return to their homes.....period. On purpose!

They slimed the former Governor of Alabama into prison, they purposely railroaded one of our own, Robbyn Tumey. How much closer to home does it need to get? Mark W. Pryor hasn't accidentally sided with Cheney-Bush on all the important votes and he isn't accidentally madly in love with Joe LIEberman. Whispering John Boozman didn't accidentally vote against the Mortgage Relief bill last week. He already has his list of bills he will vote for or against next week, next month...straight from the White House. It is no accident he always votes with Cheney-Bush, the 220 wire running up his butt makes sure he'll aways vote with Cheney-Bush.....no accident...none...never.

Your vote can change all this. A dozen million modern Paul Reveres must spread out across the state and the nation screaming No Accidents are Coming....No Accidents are Coming.....The Republicans and their Pryors Mean to Do It Every Time! Vote the bastards out! Save America!

It was such a worn out trick that for awhile I thought it not worthy of comment. Bush/Rove staged it about 117 times, a crucifix, or church steeple, sometimes a halo was hovered over or around Monkey Boy. Like all little tricks they work for awhile. But hey, I'm the generation who was weened off S-E-X superimposed on the ice cubes in whiskey ads and subliminals assured me addiction to Camels, Kools, Winstons, and Luckies just in case The Marlboro Man didn't inspire Western Man images to emulate. Did the Marlboro Man ever cough up phelm?
Basically, Republican faithful contributors as the new breed of Pavlov's Dogs seems about right, far Right.

Okay. I got the subliminal cross behind him the first time I saw this ad.

What I MISSED was how Huck's looking directly, deeply and sincerely into my very SOUL!

With his LEFT eye.

His RIGHT eye, apparently on a different neuromuscular brain path, is unnervingly glancing at his offscreen "handler."

Janet? Karl? D. James Kennedy? George Grant? Jesus? (Google 'em if you don't know).

I'm like, totally all about understanding the thing about "keep your eye on the prize" and shizz.

But I'm like totally CONFUSED about whether I - like I'm JUST the American Voter - am I the "prize? . . . or his offscreen handler?

Mainly, I'm all totally impressed that he can look me in the eye at the same time he's NOT!

Can't he get that FIXED?.

Norma you must have loved the way Huck's deep stress wrinkles just poof! up and disappeared. Suddenly he's 38 again.

Oh that shifty eye business means he's not wearing his eye glasses. Most of them don't on the campaign trail so there's no telling when the neurons are searching for target alignment and can't make it happen.

We can blame that on FDR who never wanted to appear crippled so he learned a way to walk, invented aids to help him appear to walk.

Sometimes they call it disruptive advertising. It's what Miley Cyrus's handlers just did with the photo shoot to usher her from the 'tween set to sex symbol. All planned.

It's what Olivero Toscani did with his controversial Benetton ads years ago. You spend next to peanuts on an advertising campaign and you get everyone talking about it. You're on the cover of Newsweek and everyone from the talking heads to the people around the water cooler can't shut up about it for a week or two. '80s Oklahoma Sooners QB Thomas Lott called it "pub".

All this talk about subliminal messages reminded me of an episode of Mr. Deity called--appropriately enough--Mr. Deity and the Messages. At the link.

The photo shows that he's got three balls, too.

Nothing wrong with using the cross symbolically as his backdrop if that's what he wanted to do.

Just sad that he couldn't acknowledge it and say, "So - its an important symbol to me - whats wrong with that?"

Don! Where ya been?

hugh:
Things got kinda busy and I had to rearrange my priorities for a spell.

Finally found a few minutes tonight to check in and see what I was missing - probably missed a bunch of good stuff over the last couple of weeks - I think I had to re-focus my daily tasks about the time our friend Max went to China - I guess he made it back.

But now I will probably have to bump this opportunity for intellectual stimulation lower down on my priority list again and return when I can come up for air . . . sometime . . .

Thanks for asking. . .

I understand about the priorities. I hope everything works out well for you and that you can drop in more often.

Don't look now, but they're still there!
