In 59 Philadelphia voting divisions, Mitt Romney got zero votes



It's one thing for a Democratic presidential candidate to dominate a Democratic city like Philadelphia, but check out this head-spinning figure: In 59 voting divisions in the city, Mitt Romney received not one vote. Zero. Zilch.

These are the kind of numbers that send Republicans into paroxysms of voter-fraud angst, but such results may not be so startling after all.

"We have always had these dense urban corridors that are extremely Democratic," said Jonathan Rodden, a political science professor at Stanford University. "It's kind of an urban fact, and you are looking at the extreme end of it in Philadelphia."

Most big cities are politically homogeneous, with 75 percent to 80 percent of voters identifying as Democrats.

HA HA and Screw you...how does THAT feel? Let's say for one instant that there's a problem, I don't think there is, personally, your candidate was despised here beyond belief but...remember what you said to us with the butterfly ballots? No? Don't fret...you're a SORE LOSERMAN.

HEY! Hotshot media types! Yeah, we know you read us surreptitiously...

Guess what, guys and gals, America no longer cares what you "think" or pretend to think. We were always suspicious of you,
in my political lifetime dating back to Hugh Sidey and his ilk attending dinner parties thrown by elected officials whom they were covering. But nonetheless, you were often given a free pass in this regard, since you were all so "distinguished and urbane" and educated at University.

But those days are over. Most of you are no longer to be trusted: many of you act as stenographers for the Right Wing Establishment, and you know who you are. You are in bed with the wealthy, the tycoons, the controlling interests who utterly and completely lack altruism in any form. Even when they are associated with charities it is often because some ill has befallen themselves or someone in their family, not to mention the tax deductions and the positive publicity which may be rehabilitative following some public relations disaster. So you dutifully write their memes, no matter how contrary to the truth or how negatively it impacts society.

So you have metamorphosed into the caricature of the old lazy sportswriter who would go to the bar, watch the game on television, and write his column as the all-knowing observer. Your performances in this election cycle were reprehensible, and that is a kind word for your complete and utter lack of insight, poor reportage of the higher order truth, and general laziness. No wonder the newspapers are going out of business, it would be easier and cheaper to hire a court reporter who could simply transcribe the sayings of the political fathers.

Oh, you are seeking an example? All right, tell us after the fact, how you could have allowed that outrageously dissembling and aggressive performance by your friend Mr. Romney in the first debate to be reported as a win? He lied. About almost everything. But he banged the table and you liked that...you enjoyed that because you a closet abusers yourselves. You are frustrated, sad, wistful wannabes who are insanely jealous of Bob Woodward, not because of his inside Gets, but of his money and his access to the public stage. Those of us who were around for his Watergate days recall that he was used by the powers that be to eliminate Nixon from the stage border for the real Revolution to take place. Nixon, unlike Reagan and his successors, was not a rubber stamp President and was too bright, yes too bright, to be allowed to continue in office.

And that is the crux of the matter: the reason you hated Clinton, hate Obama, and generally hate intellectuals is that they show you up to be the inadequate folk which you secretly are. As victims of what used to be called The Impostor Phenomenon, you know exactly where you stand in the intellectual hierarchy. The RW plays into this dramatic lack which you possess. It is a shame, but one group is very pleased with your plight. Liquor salespeople. Many of you make the Mad Men cast look like rank amateurs. I know, I treat many of you in my practice and there is a fair amount of consumption per capita. I don't blame you.

If I did my job as poorly as you do, I'd drink too.

I'm not saying a word...

The spouse of one of my employees, who had friended me on FB, posted a map of the election results with the key:

Red: Republican
Blue: Complete Morons

As an employer, I understand my responsibilities and limitations. As a humanist, I select the objects of my altruism carefully.

It is possible that this individual is reading this. Have a wonderful day.

If I we a RWer, I would lay the blame exactly where it belongs...

On the Intertubes...

In my youth, I was used to seeing political lies by the Right lasting days if not weeks, and their effect upon campaigns was lasting and pernicious even when it was publicized, in the limited manner in which it could be publicized in those days, and people would still be insisting that they were true years later. Witness some statements attributed to Al Gore, and although the Internet eXisted, it was not as widespread and attentively attuned to as it is now.

I always had the feeling that the President was going to win this, but I knew that he would when The Romney Lie of the Century was exposed and that exposure went viral, that is of course the lie about the Jeep plant. You couldn't access a website about used cars or lingerie without seeing a piece on that lie, and it quickly became a part of the National Consciousness. In the old days, if that lie were initially Told on a Monday, it would have appeared as gospel in every paper Tuesday morning and afternoon, mentioned in the Tuesday national news with only slight denials, been propagated on Wednesday at work, and maybe by Friday, the GM and Chrysler presidents may, Jesuit. May, have chimed in, but by then, most would suffer from. A persistence of memory with regard to this issue and would have moved on, and not accepted or processed the counterpoint and denial. Even a retraction would not have helped and of course today, the RW never retracts anything at all whatsoever.

So there are several entities which have changed the game for all time: the Internet presence alone, the 24 hour news channels, the iPad/iPhone instant access capability, and social media. These Morans were functioning on a level consistent with 1968 and Dick Nixon. They thought that they could just spew crap and it would be digested. What they apparently don't realize or don't care to realize is that The technology and access to same changed everything about the rules of the implementation of fascism. Gone are the days when the playbook is a tattered edition of Mein Kampf.

Mrs. Intern has a theory which is hers, belongs to her, and his hers too

To paraphrase Monty Python...

Please allow me to preface this by saying that she's pretty sharp. She picked on the Bush family interview on Election Night 2000 when she thought that Poppy Bush was really nervous and shifty. He knew what was going down th e whole time. For eight years she kept saying, toldja so that night that they were busy stealing the election. Of course, we all knew that after the fact a little bit but. She was suspicious right there at that moment.

so when she saw Ann Romneys hairdo at the concession speech my wife said suddenly that her hair was done as though for an inauguration or victory party, that she had never seen her with her hair up like that and that this was special hair. I never argue with her intuition about this stuff...in fact, I rarely argue with her at all. But that's a story for another day.
I for one think that the fix was in but something or someone stopped it, whether from within or without. It was too weird and while we we watching Ohio, other states may have been planned to be in play but the trigger was never pulled. This would make a great film of the ilk of the original The Day of the Jackal, Three Days of the Condor, or Seven Days in May. Does anyone else see a pattern here?

Part 1. Cue the music for MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE...

(Car drives up to a generic fast-food restaurant. Out from the auto steps Jim Phelps who walks into the restaurant, goes to the head of the line, orders, and is given a closed bag. Phelps takes the bag out to his car, opens it and there is a iPod inside. He switches on the iPod) "Good morning Mr. Phelps. The man you are looking at is Karl Rove. Some years ago, Rove was the mastermind of a plot which illegally and illicitly twice installed a President via a mechanism of changing cast votes within an election. The process and methodology which he used remains unknown to this day. The American election will be taking place in three weeks and it is widely assumed that Rove will once again utilize this technique to place his favorite candidate, Willard "Mitt" Romney in the White House. Romney is a known habitual prevaricator and is suspected of ties to the sinister people who have evil designs upon this country. His potential ascension to the Presidency of The United States is considered to be cause for great alarm among the leaders of the civilized world, both domestic and foreign. Your mission Jim, should you decide to accept it, is to discover the method of vote-changing, neutralize its effects, and ensure that Rove, Romney, and others are forever unable to pursue this strategy ever again. As always, should you or any of your I.M. Force be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions. Good luck, Jim." (The iPod puffs up in a smoky cloud. Phelps drops the iPod in the bag and tosses it into a burning waste can).

Dissolve to Phelps' modern apartment. He is carrying a cocktail and a black portfolio. He sits on the sectional sofa and puts down his drink and opens the book. Glossy photos are present. He sorts through them, keeping some, and discarding others.

Stay tuned for Part 2!
