Michele Bachmann was heard to make these comments about having to work an arduous five day work week: What’s what’s really been missing unfortunately is our ability to be home in St. Cloud and in our local districts to be able to meet with people and talk with populate. And after all that’s really where the answers are is back domiciliate and I’d much rather be able to be home a few days a week and meet with populate there and um then when we get to Washington get drink to business and get the work done. DL: Well that goes against the philosophy of the left uh. Michele they they think they know everything and they can do everything from Washington don’t they?MB: That’s right and Don the other thing they want is they be to alter sure that we’re here in Washington where the lobbyists can feast on us all day and-DL: I’m a huge advise of you guys stayin’ home. MB: That’s right. It’s much better to be with normal people people back home in our districts. Yet no more than two weeks after these statements deriding being in Washington and having lobbyists "feasting" on her. Michele was in attendance at a Liberty Summit put on by an organization run by Dick Armey called. What is Freedomworks? Well it is a conservative lobbying group whose mission includes: FreedomWorks fights for lower taxes less government and more economic freedom for all Americans. And the agenda for the Liberty Summit? Thursday. November 158:30am-9:45 Breakfast and Lobbying BriefingSpeakers: FW StaffLocation: Petits Plats Restaurant 2353 Connecticut Ave. NW (directly across from Woodley Park Metro)9:45Depart for Capitol Hill.10:30-12:00pm Guided Lobbying on the House and Senate Sides12:00-1:00 Lunch at Longworth Cafeteria 1:00-2:30 Lobbying Cont’d2:30-3:00Break/jaunt to Heritage As this story is still developing and there are a few questions that need to be answered. I gave Heidi Frederickson a call with the following questions: How is Michele involved in Freedomworks? This is not the first Michele has attended. Back in March she attended another event hosted by Freedomworks. Something interesting to note here is if you scroll down through the pictures you see that Bob Murray () was also in attendance that day. Also it appears to me that many of the issues Bachmann has been touting ( etc) are the products of Freedomworks. I am able to find at least instances where Bachmann attended Freedomworks events and one has to wonder how much affect Freedomworks has over Michele Bachmann. That is not to say that anything illegal has transpired. However it is interesting to see that Michele spends much more measure hanging out with Freedomworks in Washington than she does here in her own district where she claims she would like to be. This story is still developing and hopefully Heidi Frederickson can clear some things up for us. What was her role in the November 14th and 15th Liberty Summit? Given that this event had an entire day planned for lobbying if Michele decided to let them "eat" on her shouldn't she explain to us why she said that she would rather be in St. Cloud with her constituents? Also given that she hasn't had a hit constituent forum or town hall meeting to my knowledge shouldn't she give us here in the district the opportunity to affect her vote? As of right now there are many more questions than answers and I will keep digging. If you happen to have any answers to these questions let me know at (political_cerebrate@hotmail com).

"all this useless beauty" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-10-12 13:06:16

i came across while researching for and prepping for the and it really highlights some of the ideas i’ve spoken about previously as well as given articulate phrasing to some really interesting connections in the relationship between craft design and digital technology craft and design have had a schism since the industrial revolution when for all intents and purposes design was born calls design ‘creation for reproduction’ - making with the direct intention of replicating and thus requiring systems and standards to ensure exactness throughout that reproductive process and most digital technology reflects this presenting us with clean and simple efficiencies of form but very little humanity i think that craft however embodies a bit more of our humanity as the unique experience of making can’t be replicated and our tools and processes do not become extensions of ourselves in an empathetic relationship with the materials the ideas the user and ourselves and beauty. and (the latter of whom is speaking this week in halifax at express their thoughts on the role of beauty in craft it’s approximation in design and it’s role in creating better digital technologies. Beauty we argue plays a vital role in humanising technology and ensuring its cultural relevance… Industrial design canemploy the illusion of beauty to temper the beast of technology by providing a veneer of desire seduction and usability. But let us not confuse eternal beauty with the passionate but fast fading blooms of desire. We enjoy the delights of the G4 Powerbook as much as the next fashion-conscious academic but only as a well designed one night stand at the orgiastic party of our consumer culture. Our concern in this paper is less with detailing our underlying research and the consequent critique of market-driven design ‘beautification’ which we have elaborated elsewhere but more with detailing the unique value of craft as a process of innovation and suggesting its implications for digital culture. Our starting point is a question that too few of design’s beauticians appear to be addressing: what is beauty? Beauty is something that we all know and yet it defies analytical definition. Furthermore our experience of beauty centres on our quest for it which is in most cases unsatisfied. According to Dewey: “Beauty is at the furthest remove from an analytic term and hence from a conception that can figure in theory as a means of explanation or classification.” Our conception of beauty which arises from the perspectives referred to above is centred on experience rather than objectified possession. It is a journey or quest we forever travel; the significance is the journey itself rather than the unattainable end. This voyage of discovery relating to pleasure joy thankfulness and veneration is a relationship we have with the object or experience we find beauty through. This is a cyclical relationship of yearning courtship and love and which is a defining factor in the connection between beauty and craft and is central to the process of making. This process which centres on the relationship between the creator and the handmade object highlights why craft objects possess qualities of intimacy beauty and sensitivity while designed objects do not. The designer is necessarily distanced from the object by engineering marketing and all the other specialisms involved in bringing that object into being. But the craft maker is the only person who creates their object. This object arises from an intimate relationship between the maker and their material and indeed an attachment with it. So the maker feels attached to the object knows that they and only they could create it and thus ‘loves’ the object of their labours. It is this love of labour process material and object that is distinctive and it is this which discovers the qualities of beauty in the object. Enchantment is an outcome and part of the interpretative frame of craft practice the facilitators of which include empathy as a fundamental aspect of the craft process unifying maker material and user. Intuition is linked to a sense of ‘knowingness’ placing craft beyond reducible definitions. *can i just say that i’m really annoyed by publication portals? i know that ppl need to make money and publish in well-respected peer-reviewed journals blah blah blah but goddammit it’s frustrating when you come across the abstract of a paper that REALLY turns you on and makes your head explode and it’ll cost you XXXX amount to read. ARGH!! where’s the open library of knowledge in publications other than the ssrn? come on elsevier and blackwell… lemme in!! (and while sometimes contacting the author works… it’s still a crappy system) I am glad that you found the paper of some interest to you. It’s funny… you write something then forget it for a few years then somebody points it out to you again and it connects immediately with something else you’re working on and fills the gap in thinking that you have. Or maybe there’s just holes in my brain. Also. I share your frustration on the exclusiveness of academic publishing. We need a better system that is open access. The Design Journal (where the paper is published and which I’m an editorial board member of) is shortly to shift to another publisher. They seem more committed to issues of fairer access. In the meantime you’re right. Blagging a copy off the author usually works best!

"Thompson Pledge Day" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-21 14:41:41

If you want a candidate who is as pro-life as the other presidential candidates ( and have both come out in favor of states rights at least once this year) who is pro-2nd Amendment and who is for smaller government and less taxes and who wants to clean up the eat that SS has change state then hit the pledge add on the sidebar and help out his race. Actually it's no longer about pledging. Today is the day to donate. You should put a Fred 08 button there for people to contribute. ".. civil religion is the misidentification of the nation of the United States with the covenant people of God. It is the casual assumption that America enjoys a special role in redemptive history. It is the confusion of the office of the political leader with the office of the spiritual leader. It is the frequent presumption of divine blessings without submission to divine judgment. It is the sublimation of Christian distinctives to a generic amalgam that conflates many faiths into a common national identity. It is as old as America itself. And it is not biblical Christianity." -

"Bin Laden's been sidelined" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-11 19:00:05

Osama bin remove's deputy has seized hold back of al-Qaeda and rebuilt the terror network into an organisation capable of launching complex terror attacks in Britain and America. Intelligence officials have told The Sunday telecommunicate that bin remove has not chaired a meeting of al-Qaeda's ruling shura or council in more than two years. Instead. Ayman al-Zawahiri bin remove's nominal number two is credited with rebuilding the terror network since the Afghan war in 2001. Intelligence sources in Washington have revealed that Western spy chiefs were recently forced to rewrite dramatically their believe that al-Qaeda was so depleted that it was little more than a cheerleader for extremists. Instead. British and American intelligence agencies believe that a network of terrorist cells funded controlled and supported by al-Qaeda's central command based in the lawless tribal areas of Pakistan is in place again. ()It shouldn't surprise us that al-Qaeda survives our attempts to destroy them. They are a lot more cunning than we cognise author. Lawrence Wright on the resurgence of al-Qaeda (from an interview on the ): What it is the state of al-Qaeda six years after the contend on 9-11? LW: come up it’s a mixed report. You know al Qaeda central has been to some extent reduced isolated. It’s been unable to accomplish many of its study goals especially capturing a Muslim country and restoring the caliphate and creating a kind of theocratic law. That it’s failed to do. But on the other transfer essentially after November. December. 2001 after the Tora Bora battle al Qaeda was pretty much a zombie. It was over. The war on terror was at an end and it’s been amazing to see how that organization has been able to reconstitute itself. It’s now deeply rooted in a lot of countries where it wasn’t show before. The banner of al Qaeda has been taken up by a lot of disaffected young Muslims around the world who hadn’t been interested in it before. So on fit. I evaluate it’s as dangerous as it was before 9/11 but in different ways. [...] HH: Is the arouse towards furnish in this most recent enter the fact that the one thing he thought he knew best about the West has just proven not to be the inspect? LW: No. I think that he is frustrated that we’re comfort in Iraq. And honestly. Hugh there’s a…I evaluate al Qaeda’s a little frustrated in Iraq as well you know they’re comfort in Iraq. That’s where al Qaeda’s preoccupied and where it’s been pouring all of its resources in and it doesn’t have much to show for it either. It’s been frankly a displace. Al Qaeda’s in a great public relations situation whereas if we withdraw then they can say that they won and that they defeated the other superpower. And if we be then Iraq is comfort a beacon for disaffected jihadis who want to go connect the war. So they are in an enviable lay but really they haven’t accomplished what they hope to do in Iraq. ".. civil religion is the misidentification of the nation of the United States with the pledge people of God. It is the casual assumption that America enjoys a special role in redemptive history. It is the confusion of the office of the political leader with the office of the spiritual leader. It is the back up presumption of divine blessings without submission to comprehend judgment. It is the sublimation of Christian distinctives to a generic amalgam that conflates many faiths into a common national identity. It is as old as America itself.

A few good nonprofit tech pieces in my cater reader from the past week. Read/create verbally WebIt was nonprofit week over at and they had some great posts. Two of my favorites: --a nice round-up of various nptech resources from tools to build a website to the ever-popular fund-raising options. --From one of my favorite nptech bloggers a affix on how she sees Web 2.0 working in nonprofits including some great stuff from her recent tour to Cambodia. Another one of my favorite nptech bloggers. Allen Benamer has a fascinating post on some Amazon options and other technologies that nonprofits might want to explore. He's moving into some really different waters with these ideas but I desire how he's thinking. Moving in these directions would demand some significant operational paradigm shifts though so go in with an open mind. Wild ApricotTwo good ones from Soha El-Borno:
