3. "Watch" Reagan / GOP / get crushed (<= reaction formation: NO! NO!)

"Gawker" on Christine O'Donnel, Deleware Sen, 'one night stand' (right wing witch-woman <-sponging sexiness off the women's movement, ha ha..) <=the girl-next-door rightwingnut fantasize fucking; Lady Gaga also made NYTimes news today. gagag ... she's probably some gay rightwingers fantasy creation.)

5. Dark GIRL WHO kicked the hornets nest/ final chapter -- how many of these are popping out of the mediaminded woodwork

6. "Why civil unions for Heterosexuals?" <= most twisted S*

..kind of funny thing to say, the first time you think of it. -- if homos* have to apply to get wedding rights, shouldn't heteros* have to do the same to get civil union rights? But that is double bizzaro, twisting the false juxtaposition of "hetero-" and "homo-" as "types of marriage", based on preemptive predication on deviate sexuality as equally sacral.

7. Colossus ..rise .. American Capitalism (<= global corporate/security network

8. "I've been scarred by horrible jobs."

ALSO: NYTimes Opinion:

Item 1. From Germany to America: nationalistic nativism -- attitudes of racial superiority toward alien immigrants; the 1800 feeling of Fichte's addresses to the German nation.

-Leadership and Leitkultur, article by famed German philosopher Jurgen Habermas. --commenting on the "Leitkultur" (cultural bent) of anti-immigrant (mainly Turkish Arab) right wing conservatism. One motive, if not main intent, appears to be to scotch the flow of group-process toward ideas of its Nazi past: "..widespread impetus to the more noxious mixture of xenophobia, racist feelings of superiority and social Darwinism." And latently, toward anti-Semitism. He wants to compare what is happening now to what happened in the 1990's; or 60's; his memory is obviously strained on the latter, no different from many others.

Perhaps keenest insight: "I don't underestimate the scale of the accumulated nationalistic sentiment, a phenomenon not confined to Germany (<=note: America). But in the of current events, another trend is of greater concern: the growing preference for unpolitical figures on the political scene, which recalls a dubious trait of German political culture, the rejection of political parties and party politics."

So here's how that stands: Will the rise of nationalistic nativism in Germany push aside the existing political order and revive Nazism? He is very much against that, of course. And his is the form of philosophical liberalism scotching emergence of any such right-wing development in America.

Item 2. "DIVIDED WE FAIL", Paul Krugman Bemoaning what will happen if Republicans win control of one house of Congress, "This is going to be terrible. In fact, future historians will probably look back at the 2010 election as a catastrophe for America. "

This is the strongest possible way to put the dominant MERGER FANTASIES: WE MUST ALL PULL TOGETHER OR WE SHALL ALL PERISH. (cf. "we're all in the same boat"
