Whew, had my hands out of the dough for a few days. First things first: I have to give a belated thanks to the Little Rock for taking me dancing. I took the opportunity to shake things up in stuffy old conservative Georgetown with my decidedly non-conservative, dirty South, representin’ the ATL pop-n-lock. They didn’t quite know what to do with me. But I bring the South with me and always will. They’ll get used to it.
Second, I have been following the White House efforts to marginalize Fox News with much interest. The whole thing just solidifies the crazy that comes with trying to figure out if this administration is made up of evil geniuses or certifiable ignoramuses. What I mean is, their blatancy can only be the result of either extreme ego of the magnitude that leads to full-fledged propaganda techniques (which you can find a handy list of here. See if anything jumps out at you regarding recent statements made by Axlerod et al about Fox (non)News…), or is the result of absolute incompetence of the magnitude that will continue to see that approval rating dip. People tend to not like being force fed. It has been known to lead to revolution.
Anyway, to me, it seems a bit below the White House pay grade (heh) to start dictating who they think is cool. One thing’s for sure — it’s all about image, not too much about substance because those with the ability to get the job done care little to nothing if people think they’re able to get the job done. Just makes me think the lady doth protest too much. Just sayin’. UPDATE: Yeah, pretty much what she said.
And to the Georgetown dance kids (they were okay really. Actually two of the girls were quite complimentary. I just wanted an excuse to embed this video b/c it was covered on Glee last week and is really just an awesome song…):
