Tactics matter!! 'Flanking' for example. When we approach the opposition off one side with the full firepower of our column, while the 'rear' of theirs is out of range and neutralized. War board games used to giver the flanker a 3 to 1 edge. On the the ground the positioning is, or was, called 'enfilade.' On the water it's called 'crossing the T'. How can we apply this to our cultural opposition?

RE: Sarah Palin. A Nonnie Moose (yes I drop names) emailed me: "I'd take a bullet for her...And that's saying a lot, 'cause I'm a chicken shit...drove to Bangor to see her in the fall of '08 on the campaign trail during her only visit to Maine. It was ELECTRIC ! ...Cold, rainy dreary day, but she smoked that place. Snowe was a meek titmouse next to her. Keep your fingers crossed. Cheers." ANM

Went to the ASPCA today to check out the abandoned sycophants. There were several and I wanted to take them all home!! If you don't want to add a sycophant or 2 to your hearth, don't look them in their eyes. Irresistible. They'll be goin' home with you!! So, tomorrow I buy Purina Sycophant Chow and next week they get all their shots. Can't wait to curl up together....

The PREZ Sez: If government doesn't take money away from those who earned it, and spread it around to those who didn't, primarily those who will keep them in power, it will be EXPENSIVE. Prohibitively so. So we live in a nation where letting folks keep their own stuff is a bad idea? Sounds like a nice place...to leave.

AGAIN: Gov't increases "income" taxes 5%. Half or more of what is earned already goes to taxes, so it's at least a 10% tax on 'kept' income, most of which goes to expenses, corporate or personal. Since well-run biz's and individuals generally 'keep' 2-5% of income as "net" after expenses, a "5% tax" wipes out the net. Ergo, no ROI for future capital, no $ for R&D, no expansion, no new jobs. no savings. Or worse...

What makes so many Americans think they're exempt from natural laws in physics and economics? Possible answer: Many don't know there are any. Is that because "We" aren't giving teacher's unions enough money? And if we just spent more, they would share their secret knowledge? Why does that sound ridiculous? Cuz they don't know what the laws are, either?

Rumor: Later this week, Secretariat, starhorse of the Craig Ferguson show, will be joining us at the Porch and show us how to kick up our heels...
