‘Empty suit with broken zipper’ under attack in Iowa
Newt Gingrich has become the target of an all-out advertising and media blitz in Iowa, launched by fellow candidates and others determined that he will not become the party nominee.
Ron Paul is using his money to savage the former speaker. (”Pointing out people’s positions is not negative,” Paul says.) A pastor backing Michele Bachmann is calling Gingrich “a very fine, empty suit with a broken zipper,” dismissing him as “a glib, wordy cheater.” Mitt Romney says Gingrich is “zany,” and has released an ad that closes with the question “With friends like Newt, who needs the left?”
Restore Our Future, a pro-Romney PAC, is also running the following ad:
It’s apparently having a serious impact. A new Rasmussen poll now puts Romney ahead in Iowa with 23 percent of the vote, with Gingrich second at 20 percent and Paul at 18 percent. Public Policy Polling also reports a tight three-man race, with Gingrich (22 percent) falling quickly, with Paul (21 percent) and Romney (16 percent) close behind.
More telling, a PPP poll a week ago put Newt’s approval/disapproval numbers at 62/31. In the new poll, that has dropped to 52/40, and support among Tea Party voters has fallen from 35 percent to 24 percent.

My impression from the intent of his posts is it isn’t one of our ‘real’ RQ-170s.
To me, it just does not make sense that, when presented with several options to destroy it, the Pres rejected the options on the basis of ‘it would be seen as an act of war.’ That phase of the scenario just doesn’t pass the common-sense test if it were, in fact, the real thing.
I am not advocating a position here – just laying out differing possibilities, in light of our ongoing actions regarding Iran.

But it was not a matter of contra policy to systematically carry out terrorist bombings or attacks on civilian targets.
Funny, that’s not what Human Rights Watch said.
In fact they said just the opposite: “…the Contras systematically engage in violent abuses… so prevalent that these may be said to be their principal means of waging war.”
Now the question in my mind is, do I believe Human Rights Watch, or do I believe in a deluded zeus in a speedo?

While you were on your military base with other soldiers I actually lived with the local populace as a foreign exchange student, learning their culture, their language, their customs, and their history. Perhaps we can all continue the conversation in Spanish to see just how much all of you know- you, kammy, and keep up.

What does it mean when people refer to themselves in the third person?
I believe that first and foremost this is most likely an affectation. Possibly an attempt to get attention. Possibly they want someone to be concerned that they aren’t well. If this is the case, I would talk to them at least in passing and ask why they say that. Another one could be that they have self-acknowledgement issues. Possibly guilt/shame/embarassment. Possibly low self-esteem. They may feel like an outsider as this would be a symbolic way to represent the self in a disasociated manner. People who do this may be coping with some issues that need to be brought into light. I would look at other aspects of their behavior. If it is deliberated towards some and not others, those who they direct this impersonal self-reference towards may be people who they feel neglected by. They may be sanely trying to say, in an oblique manner, “You don’t acknowledge me, and so now neither do I.” Possible Passive-aggressive tendacies? I would say these are most likely only because I have personally done this in my youth for reasons stated herein

Anything about such a scenario will necessarily be speculative. Our government would not comment, regardless. If it is a ploy, it’d give away the game. If it was real, nothing would be said in order to minimize revealing capabilities. So we’re left with those who like to speculate in such areas. They’ll all be unofficial sources, of course -

Taxpayer,
I actually lived in Spain as a child, took Spanish throughout high school and college, and took numerous courses in Latin American affairs in college because Spanish culture had always interested me going back to my childhood in Spain. My immersion in Spanish culture in language and in custom is a little more than just one year as a foreign exchange student with an English/Spanish translator. BTW no one I knew carries those things except tourists. If you have a question about something you simply ask “como se dice” and point to the object or if its more indepth you ask one of your compatriots who also speaks English. Carrying a translation book just makes you look like a fool- which is probably what you carried I’m sure and which is why you think others are as foolish as yourself. We’re not.

And contrary to what some of this blogs liberals stated earlier today, make no mistake, the 2012 National Defense Authorisation Act will enable the government to intern American citizens if they are deemed as being “terrorists”. What disturbs me, this all hangs upon what our government defines a “terrorist” as being. Depending upon what politician of whichever party makes that determination that could eventually encompass a mighty wide range a people, depending upon the politics of the person interpreting the law, couldn’t it? Terrorist could eventually mean anyone that doesn’t agree with the government, couldn’t it? And Obama has already authorized the killing of American citizens on foreign soil, hasn’t he because he deemed them “terrorists”? Internment is a small price to pay compared to that, isn’t it? Our freedoms are marching out the door under Obama. Of course Jay will be silent upon this as Obama will sign the law and Jay doesn’t want to do anything to jeopardize Obama’s re-election campaign.

Do you not realize that all of the spectacles playing out before us right now — from the takeover of entire European countries by what amount to no more than lobbyists for the financial sector (Draghi), not to mention extortion of savage cuts on benefits and promised pensions to workers in some countries just to please foreign investors, to the inability of our political system in this country to extract even a single penny of extra revenue from the wealthiest classes to maintain the current social safety net, even as these wealthy classes have revenues at stratospheric levels, is a DIRECT result of the absolute dominance of financial capital on a world scale?

Well, obviously.
The trouble is that financial capital is having nothing of it.
Obama’s Timmy Geithner, who’s no more than a lobbyist for high finance right in the halls of the government under the present administration, has been there to strangle any hint of an impulse in that direction. And if you think that a Romney or a Gingrich will have anything different in a Treasury Secretary, then you’re seriously deluded. Geithner’s being there is no accident. When the tentacles of finance are everywhere, this is what you get.
