Please, make Tim Griffin, a Karl Rove prodigy, a one term Congressman.

Could there be nothing worse for a political career than to be a one term Congressman?

My former 2nd District of Arkansas congressman was Vic Snyder, a Democrat, who left congress to help care for his recently born triplets after serving from 1997 to 2011.

Tim Griffin after having resigned his fraudulent shady appoint as US Attorney during the Bush/Alberto Gonzales' US Attorney firing scandal, subsequently ran for and won election to AR 02, vacated by Vic Snyder, with the full force of the Tea Party election wave of 2010.

Under-funded, but politically astute Little Rock lawyer, Herb Rule, entered the 2012 race as a decided underdog has closed in on Griffin with a recent poll: Rule 45% to Griffin 47%.

The afternoon, the US Senate Republicans in their continuing efforts to prevent the President from having a win, a bill he and his party supports, from becoming law ... succeed again!.

Going back to last week ...

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) put a hold on the Veterans Jobs Corps Act of 2012 (S. S.3457), insisting a bill he submitted, which has nothing to do with veterans, be voted on first, before proceeding to a vote on the Veterans Jobs bill.

The Hill reported:

The legislation, which would help train veterans and help them transition into police officers, firefighters and EMTs, as well as work in the park system, is mired in a political quagmire by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who wants a vote on his bill to end aid to Pakistan before letting the Senate take a vote.

Over he last few days, the media has been making references and misleading guesses as to who will be the mystery guest speaker tonight.

I've heard mentioned ... numerous times:

Sarah Palin or Clint Eastwood

Chances are the mystery guest will NOT be a prominently known Republican.

A mystery (SURPRISE) guest must be a Democrat suitably prominent enough to embarrass Democrats and the White House, in particular.

I haven't seen the logo concept for the newly announced Romney-Ryan ticket.

I'm sure the campaign is working on something similar to the abbreviated tri-color "R" logo currently being used.

No matter what they choose, I believe it will be hard to seperate the campaign logo from the logo of a famous luxury automobile.

Life imitates art.

In 2006, Mike Judge directed a movie called "Idiocracy", from a screenplay he wrote.

Some may recall Mike Judge as the creator of MTV's Beavis & Butt-Head. A TV show that capitalized on the depths of what 'dumb' is all about.

I try to keep track of my Congressman's voting record on a regular basis.

Last week Rep. Griffin voted yes on all 4 bills, the total productive effort of the House last week. All four of these bills will very likely never become law.

The results for last week's votes in the House were particularly distressing, but indicative of the 'Do Nothing' M&Ms (Mindless Morons) that swept into office during the TEA Party Jubilee of 2010.

Even in my traditionally Democratic 2d District of Arkansas, we got possibly one of the worst M&Ms to have ever been trained in Republican Party politics ... Tim Griffin.

This afternoon, I had an Andy Rooney (may he R.I.P.) moment when reading the Front Page story, "Senate punts on indefinite detention of American citizens".

Did you ever notice ...

the lack of journalistic style that happens when trusted media sources don't fully identify the subject they are discussing??

This year, the day following Thanksgiving Day isn't just Black Friday, a day of Christmas shopping specials, but the date, 228 years ago, when Americans actually won their first war.

The Revolutionary War began on July 4, 1776, but did not end until the evacuation of New York City by the British on November 25, 1783.

There are parallels to what caused a crowd of protestors to form in Manchester, England's St. Peter's Square in 1819 and the Occupy Movement of today.

Almost 200 years ago in August, 1819, about 7 months before the death of King George III, a large crowd of protestors, in the tens of thousands, gathered in a public area in Manchester, England to protest income inequality, unemployment and to urge governmental reform.

The poet Percy Shelley commemorated the 1819 event in his poem "Masque of Anarchy"

Why is Herman Cain the flavor of the week, yet again?...

I blame network news.

The first priority of a profit driven network TV entertainment/news division is the classic, "If it bleeds, it leads".

But first, after the break … a brief history of the evolution of network news.
