RINO Sightings

| | Comments (2) | TrackBacks (10)

Welcome to RINO Sightings for the week of August 8th, 2005. Rather than weaving into a single lyric like the last two hosts, I tried to find appropriate lyrics for at least every category. Everybody says my music collection is eclectic, but I hope you approve. If one particular name seems to predominate, well, he's one of the best society and political songwriters out there. Enjoy!



(As a side note, some entries inadvertently got left out last week, and that oversight has now been repaired.)



**********

It's just my job five days a week

(Elton John "Rocket Man")

Tomato, Toe-mah-toe, Potato, Po-tah-toe

(Partisan Politics)



Politburo Diktat talks of who is and is not doing worthwhile work in Restless Mania sends us Hooray, we LOST, but only by four points!. Here's to manufactured triumph!



Don Surber presents Anti-Byrd Ad Gets An A. Of course, it's up against the guy who brings home the bacon so much that a government supported drive to canonize him would get lost in the shuffle.

Decision '08 give Arianna a lesson in mathematics and disclosure with News Flash: 8 of 10 Americans Make 80 Percent

A messenger came, blood on his feet and a wound on his chest

(Chris DeBurgh, "Crusader")



Don Surber sends us Al-Jazeera's New Hero: Tojo. Always looking for advantage?



Don Surber presents Banned Word, although he slides by with the same tactic as ancient writers of Hebrew.

Every evening, you come around here

in your cloak of lies

(Al Stewart "Angel of Mercy")



Countertop Chronicles tells us about Phoney Baloney Democrat BS





There's a sign in the desert that lies to the west

I sit here now on the banks of the Rhine

Dipping my feet in the cold stream of Time

And I know I'm a dreamer, I know I'm out of line

With the people I see everywhere



The couples pass by me, they're looking so good

Their arms round each other, they head for the woods

They don't care who Ernst Roehm was, no reason they should

Just a shadow that hangs in the air

(Al Stewart, "Last Day of June 1934)



Classical Values gives us a creepy parallel in Inflammatory talk beats colorless totalitarianism





Every night I say a prayer in the hopes that there's a heaven

phin's blog doesn't think it's a smiting in A smiting or not?





I'll never know, I'll never know

Why I was taken from the line and all the others

To board a special train and journey deep into the heart of holy Russia

And it's cold and damp in the transit camp and the air is still and sullen

and the pale sun of October whispers the snow will soon be coming

And I wonder when I'll be home again and the morning answers "Never"

And the evening sighs, and the steely Russian skies go on forever

(Al Stewart, "Roads to Moscow")



Armies of Liberation gives us Yemen: The Week in Review





I can't deal with these periscope views

And the caveman scrawl that you call news

Hey, why don't you make a note to cancel your next visit?

Well I knew that things were getting out of control

When you found your faith and lost your soul

(Al Stewart, "Here in Angola")

Pandora comes today

The warning signs flash in her eyes

The old familiar feelings rise again

(Al Stewart "Pandora")



World According to Nick tells us about Bill O'Reilly's Whoops





Ah remember the first day of man on the Moon

The whole world was watching, the whole world in tune

It was hard to believe he was the same as me and you



Oh, look back to the future and look down the years

It wasn't all battles and bad news and tears

We have brought to this place a desire to have a Dream

(Chris DeBurgh, "The Spirit of Man")



Finally, your host wishes to make discourse less rancorous with Let us Disagree Without Being Disagreeable



Feel the Anchor sinking

And voices ringing clear

Oh Welcome my kindred

And friends are none so dear

("Journey's End" traditional, arrangement Clannad)





This concludes our tour. Please return your seats to the full upright position. Make sure you have all your valuables with you as you debark. Have a great day and come see us again. Your next week's host: Balloon Juice

Bravo! Wonderful work. Excellent sightings; excellent posts. Thanks!

Please be civil. Avoid profanity - I will delete the vast majority of it, usually by deleting the entire comment. To avoid comment spam, a comments account is required. They are freely available, and you can post comments immediately. Alternatively, you may use your Type Key registration, or sign up for one (They work at most Movable Type sites) All comments made are licensed to the site, but the fact that a comment has been allowed to remain should not be taken as an endorsement from me or the site. There is no point in attempting to foster discussion if only my own viewpoint is to be permitted. If you believe you see something damaging to you or some third party, I will most likely delete it upon request.
Logical failures (straw man, ad hominem, red herring, etcetera) will be pointed out - and I hope you'll point out any such errors I make as well. If there's something you don't understand, ask.
Nonetheless, the idea of comments should be constructive. Aim them at the issue, not the individual. Consider it a challenge to make your criticism constructive. Try to be respectful. Those who make a habit of trollish behavior will be banned.
