The progressive community often fails in its messaging because it lacks the ability to characterize a political issue in a short and memorable fashion. Consequently, the MSM delivers a muddled/incoherent/forgettable synopsis of our position(s) in the 40 seconds they devote to any given issue.

One of the things that is wrong with the Democratic Party is their inability to translate big ideas into pithy phrases.

Yes, one can decry the dumbing down of the American body politic, but in this age of tweets and blogs and sound bites, a catchy phrase that captures the essence of the issue is NECESSARY.

Death panels, death taxes, socialism, government takeovers ....

Stupid ideas but they are readily understandable by the casual observers of American politics, who constitute about 95% of the voting public.

That's right folks: The Wackjob from Wasilla, aka Sarah Palin, has secured a new franchise for the hit Bravo series.

Coming soon to your television this SPRING!!!!

This show will be a ratings bonanza! It's got it all. Hunky outdoorsman Todd, out of control teen mother Bristol, and of course the star herself, Big Mama Sarah Palin (wink wink).

Cameos will include 'budding porn star' Levi Johnston (aka "My Baby's Daddy'), and his mother, Sherry, live from the visitors center at the Big House (Three years for Levi Johnston's mother).

After a slow start, the No on 1 team in Maine rolled out an impressive array of positive ads promoting gay marriage. They raised a huge sum of money, and deployed a large and enthusiastic field operation. It was much better managed and organized than the California referendum.

It's time to translate anger into action.

The most visible public event in Utah is the Sundance Film Festival.

It is largely operated by, patronized by, and financed by GLBT members of the entertainment industry and their friends and families.

Let's move this OUT of Utah and to a more suitable venue......VERMONT.

You know Vermont, where gay folks are treated with respect and dignity?

I believe they have some very nice ski resorts there.

Or how about British Columbia? Isn't gay marriage legal in Canada?

As a physician, I would NEVER make a diagnosis based on what I see on video or television, but I would like to raise an issue that the MSM (AS USUAL) is not bringing up.

The issue is not John McCain's age per se (although his age places him at greater risk for some diseases than younger individuals--its not ageism, epidemiology).
