If interested, please email me at admin@planetpov.com . Thanks! » Posted By AdLib On February 17, 2010 @ 11:11 am One suggestion, contact your Senators’ and Congressperson’s office ahead of time to see if you can get a pass to visit Congress in session, arrange a tour and even arrange an appointment to meet with them or at least their aides to express how you want them to address issues. You can also try to arrange a tour of the WH, I did it while there but I think you can arrange it ahead of time. The Jefferson Memorial, the Washington Monument, Lincoln Monument and definitely the Smithsonian. » Posted By AdLib On February 17, 2010 @ 11:02 pm New PlanetPOV Parody Video – Sarah Palin and Intelligent Denial Heh! Thanks Nicole! Yes, I created it yesterday at a site called Xtranormal.com. Give it a whirl yourself! I’ve been using it for a while to create all the videos that I post here. » Posted By AdLib On February 17, 2010 @ 3:10 pm A humble thank you! Even applauded by my favorite Citizen! Cool! I think there is something about control that is related to this hatred of science. If people become accustomed to accepting reason and logic, they will no longer be the mindless sheep that Repubs need. By accepting scientific theories, it means that they might put aside such things as blind faith and following those who present themselves as authorities. As long as people are terrified of lightning, a control-hungry leader can step up to say, “It is Zeus who is angered because you are not doing what I’ve told you he wants! Now do as I tell you!” That blind spot that unfortunately is implanted in many people when they are young, to follow authority and accept what they’re told on faith, that to question the soundness of what you’re told is in itself an offense, is in truth a backdoor that the unscrupulous can use to manipulate and control. Allowing people to become confident of reason is to let them seal up that back door and that is the last thing such people want. Ignorance isn’t really bliss, it’s power. » Posted By AdLib On February 17, 2010 @ 2:55 pm Thanks so much Kes! Productions values and real voice work will have to wait for a bit more financing but looking forward to it. Using the power of Intelligent Denial, Sarah can attack Fox for Family Guy while praising Fox for its excellent taste in commentators. And declare them “socialist capitalists” at the same time! Congrats on your son’s invite, hope everything goes wonderfully! » Posted By AdLib On February 17, 2010 @ 10:36 am Cher, August will be our 1 year anniversary! There will be a party all around The Planet then! » Posted By AdLib On February 16, 2010 @ 10:57 pm Heh! And not trying to be pushy, just looking forward to it! Hmm…maybe by the 1 year anniversary of The Planet? 😉 » Posted By AdLib On February 16, 2010 @ 10:39 pm Wow! That comment deserved 5 stars and a thumbs up! Well said! » Posted By AdLib On February 16, 2010 @ 10:36 pm And when you do find them, I’m looking forward to your sharing them! BTW, as I think I mentioned at the time, your essay was so much fun to read! » Posted By AdLib On February 16, 2010 @ 10:07 pm Thanks Cher! Once one party takes a conversation off the tracks and the MSM reports on it seriously, why ever discuss reality again if you can propagate lies and distractions and not be dinged for it? I mean, if one’s goal is merely to destroy, it makes sense to use propaganda and lies 100% of the time if it gets at least if not more media attention. » Posted By AdLib On February 16, 2010 @ 10:05 pm Cool! The main thread over there is Fully Moderated, everything goes to pending on it right now. That’s probably why because putting the space in usually works. Thanks!!! » Posted By AdLib On February 16, 2010 @ 10:00 pm Escrib, thanks!!! Yes, would be pleased for it to be shared over yonder and elsewhere. You can use this link over there to avoid going into pending, it will bring people directly to this post: http://go.to/planet.pov.sarahpalinparody » Posted By AdLib On February 16, 2010 @ 9:32 pm Name That Activist Group – Part Two! As originally written, “Mainstream” but if it’s selected I’d think that the Author would be open to suggestions. Thanks for the positive words about this Chapter II of names, I felt bad that I’d messed up on not including them originally! » Posted By AdLib On February 16, 2010 @ 10:55 pm Evan Bayh to resign—Crisis or opportunity? AP’s latest headline: “Bayh the latest exit as moderates leave Congress” I am sick of this shit, since when is blocking what the majority of Americans want, moderate? And trying to serve the majority “liberal”? AP sucks. Period. » Posted By AdLib On February 16, 2010 @ 4:52 pm I can only imagine being in his position and needing to close ranks with those you trust, against the MSM and the GOP…let alone Al Qaeda and others wanting terrible things for this country. I think it is right after that initial period of selecting someone that the minds necessarily lose their objectivity. From that point forward it is “us” and together they reject the criticism of each of them that comes their way. Too bad because my POV is that as long as Rahm and those like him are key advisers and strategists in this Admin, they will hobble all attempts for profound change. » Posted By AdLib On February 16, 2010 @ 10:51 am I’m right with you. The thing is, when Obama was running against Clinton and even McCain, he campaigned on the concept that they would simply bring back the same people who have been running Washington for decades. Many Dems were a bit disappointed when Obama began filling his cabinet with the same kinds of “repeat offenders” that he campaigned against. Rahm is probably the most prominent one of the bunch. It was a kind of bait and switch and they sold it by stressing what a bulldog he would be, how people were intimidated by him in Congress and he would muscle through Obama’s agenda…it just wasn’t true. Rahm and Obama go back a bit, they are both from Chicago and there is a bit of loyalty and history there. I understand all that, Rahm’s experience in Clinton’s Admin was surely regarded by Obama as a big strength. But Rahm and many others in the cabinet and Admin who are DLC types, who have close relationships and good feelings towards corporations and the status quo, are necessarily harmful to Obama and an agenda of change. I can understand though. Imagine if you were placed in a position of power and you were new at it. You would look to the people you know and trust who had experience working with this who anxiously wanted to help you too. You would want to succeed and would have more confidence in those who had been in such a position before to help you succeed. The problem is, again, if you are trying to bring change, you can’t rely on those who don’t want change, no matter how experienced they are. Better to have lesser experienced people who will fight with you to accomplish change than experienced ones who will use their experience to tell you how what you want is not possible. » Posted By AdLib On February 16, 2010 @ 10:17 am No kidding! The thing is, it is impossible to tell the difference between earnest Dems and bullshitting Dems when they are out of power, railing against Repubs and campaigning for change. What change means to those types of Dems is the change to their being out of power and having an easier time getting corporate contributions due to their being in a better position to hand billions of taxpayer money to corporations…and thus earn their “kickbacks”. There are earnest Dems who want change, we need to support them and support primary challenges against the others. » Posted By AdLib On February 15, 2010 @ 11:28 pm My theory is that Rahm, the Blue Dogs, all of the conservative, corporate-friendly moles in the Dem party put their feet down at the start of Obama’s Admin to slow this train down to a stop. The Dem Party itself IS part of the status quo. Though there are many who are genuine about their wanting change, including Pres. Obama, there are the “realists” who make clear to him and everyone else what “really is possible”. The problem is that the status quo Dems wrongly believe that throwing crumbs of change to supposedly satisfy voters while protecting corporations and the status quo is a brilliant strategy. Instead, the entire party loses because they alienate citizens and corporations know the Repubs will do better for them anyway. Good riddance Bayh, good riddance Reid. I’d rather have 51 Dems who are willing to use reconciliation and support real change than 59 who stand in the way of progress. » Posted By AdLib On February 15, 2010 @ 10:40 pm 😆 “Bayh-curious”! Bayh-partisan? » Posted By AdLib On February 15, 2010 @ 10:32 pmComments Posted By AdLib
