In the weeks since revelations about Sen. Obama’s relationship with Rev. Wright became known, I was wondering when we’d hear from the National Jewish Democratic Council. Well we’ve finally heard from them on the controversy. That’s right. Silence. …

Results 1 - 10 of about 313,000 for obama waffle.

The Demos DO have a talent for picking such candidates, it appears.

I have some german fluency. Much of yiddish slang has german origins. “Schtick” is a form of “Schtuck” (with an umlaut u, which is pronounced as sort of “ew-ii”, but not exactly, which means that Schtick is pretty close). A “Schtuck” is a play, so I suspect the origin of the “Schtick” is more the memorized lines of a play…

Not to disagree with you, but if you think of it as playing a role instead of “signature behavior”, I think it’s more accurate. After all, a person could have “signature behavior” as part of an obsessive-compulsive behavior. And of course, that could be what it is, but I sort of think that it’s a bit more contrived than that! jmho…

I really liked your point about “highly emotional marches” because I was just thinking about that the other day. We on the right enjoy sites such as Zombie and Protest Shooter, because they take pictures of the lunacy of the Left when it comes to marches and protests. I always imagine Zombie and Protest Shooter going around with a hidden camera because I would be embarrassed to be seen as these protesters are, so I stupidly assume that these people won’t want to get photographed for posterity either. I was brought to a full awareness of how stupid my attitude was when I went to Fog City Journal, a progressive San Francisco website, and saw them proudly publish precisely the photos Zombie and Protest Shooter snapped. The protesters were posing for the cameras. To them, this is theater. That’s the difference. It’s not a rational attempt to affect the political process, it’s performance art. They hope, of course, to make a change; but mostly they hope to create a ruckus. It’s the anti-intellectual approach to argument, akin to a toddler’s temper tantrum.
