Gov. Bush & his mystical buddy

After more than an hour of solemn ceremony naming Rep. Marco Rubio, R-West Miami, as the 2007-08 House speaker, Gov. Jeb Bush stepped to the podium in the House chamber last week and told a short story about "unleashing Chang," his "mystical warrior" friend.

Here are Bush's words, spoken before hundreds of lawmakers and politicians:
''Chang is a mystical warrior. Chang is somebody who believes in conservative principles, believes in entrepreneurial capitalism, believes in moral values that underpin a free society.

''I rely on Chang with great regularity in my public life. He has been by my side and sometimes I let him down. But Chang, this mystical warrior, has never let me down.''

Bush then unsheathed a golden sword and gave it to Rubio as a gift.

''I'm going to bestow to you the sword of a great conservative warrior,'' he said, as the crowd roared.

The crowd, however, could be excused for not understanding Bush's enigmatic foray into the realm of Eastern mysticism.

We're here to help.

In a 1989 Washington Post article on the politics of tennis, former President George Bush was quoted as threatening to ''unleash Chang'' as a means of intimidating other players.

The saying was apparently quite popular with Gov. Bush's father, and referred to a legendary warrior named Chang who was called upon to settle political disputes in Chinese dynasties of yore.

The phrase has evolved, under Gov. Jeb Bush's use, to mean the need to fix conflicts or disagreements over an issue. Faced with a stalemate, the governor apparently "unleashes Chang" as a rhetorical device, signaling it's time to stop arguing and start agreeing.

No word on if Rubio will unleash Chang, or the sword, as he faces squabbles in the future.

“These guys [newly elected Tea Party candidates]” are going to force Romney to the right,” said Andrea Shell, a spokeswoman for Tea Party group Freedom Works. “That is our entire mission.”…

“If we can elect a really conservative House and Senate that will force Romney to go along with our bold conservative agenda,” Shell said. “He’s going to have to really, really go to the right. He’ll be working with guys in the House and Senate. He won’t be able to get away with too many middle of the road policies, especially on things like the deficit.”…

“It’s not going to be a Romney driven presidency,” Norman Orenstein, a researcher at the conservative think tank AEI recently told ABC News. “It’s going to be a Congressional, conservative, Republican driven presidency from Congress.”

Violence Reverses Gains In Iraq.

Iraqi security officials say al Qaeda-linked fighters from the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, or ISIS, are moving aggressively to re-establish a base of operations in Anbar province, the stronghold of the Sunni insurgency during the U.S.-led war.

If the extremists succeed, they would undo one of the hardest-fought gains of U.S. forces and their Iraqi allies. By the time of the U.S. pullout at the end of 2011, the insurgency had been significantly weakened, in large part by a U.S. alliance with moderate Sunni tribesmen.

That was more than a quarter of a century ago. To this day, I receive the occasional envelope from Trump. There is always a photo of him—generally a tear sheet from a magazine. On all of them he has circled his hand in gold Sharpie in a valiant effort to highlight the length of his fingers.

McCain will probably not be able to win a GE for the same reasons that certain people who should know better cream their jeans about him: he won't say anything to win an election, he's not very partisan, and he has nuances. Whoever the GOP puts up their main task is going to be turning out disheartened GOP voters. One of the many reasons Hilldog makes me nervous: the Clintons are great for GOP turnout.

miloauckerman (miloauckerman) wrote this on thread I CAN'T STAND THE FACT THAT OUR PRESIDENT IS DEPLORABLY INARTICULATE on board I Love Everything on Apr 22, 2004

Because it acomplishes nothing. While you'll probably never cast the deciding vote in a Presidential election, you have even less say without voting at all. It has more to do with what you think than what I think.
No, I have the same say.
To say it again, voting is the absolute least-involved you can be in the political process without not taking part at all. Don't act like voting is some grand, meaningful gesture. For most Americans who even bother to vote, they're voting against one guy. It's a purely reactionary response.

What's the sham, Milo? If you don't feel like a major candidate represents you, vote for a third party. Even the Nadar people have figured that out. But furthermore why does a candidate have to represent everything you stand for? It's not just about YOU.
What's the point in voting for a third-party? Unless I live somewhere that I can elect Bernie Sanders (and let's be honest, dude might as well join the Dems), a third-party vote is meaningless.

I voted for Nader in 2000 hoping beyond hope for 5%. Now, if Democrats were interested in anything but their own power and influence, they would have encouraged Nader voters in Texas, or in New York, or anywhere that the election was locked up before it began. They would have encouraged a progressive voice, and they would have welcomed a message from the left that wasn't bought and sold by corporate donors. Instead they attacked and vilified and attacked and vilified and did what they have to do to win elections, made it a contest of who could scare people more. And continue to do so (cf. Alterman v. McGruder).

The sham is the idea that the major parties are interested in anything more than their own power (ironically, the Republicans are more interested in serving their voters, perhaps because their voters are into power too), and that voting is a meaningful action.

As for the self-involved, "it's not about you" - bullshit. You're not stumping for Kerry out of altruism. It's not a question of the goodness of your heart. You're voting for your own selfish reasons, just like everyone else. Kerry's beliefs are something you support, so you're going to vote for him. Or Kerry's beliefs are just better enough to let you vote against Bush.

My instinct is yes, but I haven't really thought about it enough or read enough analysis of places like Australia where voting is mandatory to make an informed decision.

Forcing someone to vote when they don't want to would be a disaster. What next, enforced voter education, to make sure the decisions are informed?

You want to solve voter apathy? Don't have people like Kerry and Bush at the top of the ticket.

******

you've just outed yourself as a laissez-faire capitalist. I don't know what you're doing voting for Nader.

Your vote has nothing to do with you, you're voting for Kerry out of the goodness of your heart, just a gift to the rest of us.

I know. We need to get past this partisanship. I mean, Bush isn't so bad.

That's the thing, and this goes back to what John D. said in the other thread - you wouldn't have a problem with Bush if he had a D next to his name. You're OK with Clinton fucking poor people and killing people halfway around the globe and refusing to do anything for basic civil rights.

Your problem isn't that Bush is "so bad," but that Bush is on the wrong team.

That's the problem with your partisanship, it has no basis in principle.

I thought the cut-off was 1981, with the MILLENIALS (worst gen-nickname ever) starting in '82. But that was something I read in Time or Newsweek years ago.

this seems to be first use of "millenial" wrt a generation, rather than in the sense of "relating to the millennium"

Neil Howe and William Strauss, who have done a lot of research on U.S. generations, break the 20th century into the following categories:
G.I Generation: 1901 to 1924
Silent Generation: 1925 to 1942
Boomer Generation: 1943 to 1960
13er Generation (Gen. X): 1961 to 1981
Millenial Generation (Gen. Y): 1982 to 2003

Which is an average of 20 years per generation.

I misspelled "millennial"?

Huh, I guess I did. A follow-up post from that thread:

Characteristics of millenial generation, I'm guessing, are a rapidly increasing dependence on and interest in technology in daily life. I was thinking how different my own life is than it was, say, 10 years ago. Pre-internet seems like a diff generation to me.

I hadn't noticed! I checked with the correct spelling, and those posts still seem to predate the first use of "millennial" (to refer to a generation rather than an era, though there's a few where it's borderline) and "millennials", respectively
