Uh oh, what have we done? This seems to be a common, growing sentiment since last Tuesday’s general election! Look, Obama promised not to appoint Washington insiders to his administration if elected. But he went back on that within one day of the election with the naming of Rahm Emanuel as his new chief of staff. 

Emanuel, who served in the Clinton White House, has Israeli family and spent significant amounts of time in Israel. He now serves as the fourth-highest member of the House of Representatives, is known as a skilled political operator who helped engineer the gains the Democrats made in Congress in 2006. (Emanuel to be Obama’s chief of staff)

And this from the same Jerusalem Post article: “Already, Russia was threatening to put missiles alongside US-ally Poland if US President George W. Bush’s plan for a missile defense shield in Europe is not repealed. In Afghanistan, US-backed President Hamid Karzai demanded that Obama “put an end to civilian casualties” by changing US tactics to avoid airstrikes in the hunt for terrorists.”

People who voted for Obama might like to take a look at this article at americanthinker.com, as well: The friends of George Soros.

Maybe you’ll like Soros once you do a little research about him. If so, then you won’t have any problems with the potentially radical policies that might be coming your way.

Here’s how hope works: First you consider reality, and then you subtract fantasy. Whatever is left can be the outcome. This does not mean that it will happen, but it never hurts to think in a positive manner. For example, the Chicago Bears are hosting the undefeated Tennessee Titans this weekend. We are hoping for a score something like what PdX predicted in this evening’s weblog:

Keep in mind, this is a couple of days before the actual game. Positive thinking helps to create the actual outcome. Even if the final results are totally different from reality, we’re hoping for a win in Chicago! Stop the Undefeated! Now!

What Now?

       He’s only human. Hopefully, when he gets in there and realizes the awesome responsibility that he has inherited, he will do the right things. So far, Obama has not declared war on the constitution; in fact he quotes it sometimes, and at least he claims to respect it and our founding fathers. When he is briefed, ultimately, let’s hope that BHO can absorb the mindsets of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, et al. in the spirit that might maintain our sovereignty and identity for the next four years, anyway. All we can do is hope for safety and economic recovery exactly like we would have, had John McCain been elected today.

       Sure, it’s depressing when you consider all of the fear of socialism, higher taxes and such, but in the end what’s done is done, and we are still Americans. If the choice of the majority (if in fact that’s what he is) can rise to the office and conduct himself as such and represent us with honor and courage, then we should support him as good patriots. If not, we will work together to change again. That’s what we do. And if Congress fails again, we’ll rout them out in 2010 and again in 2012. That’s what we do, too. Hey, it’s our right via the Constitution of the United States. And no one can mess with it, not even a president who might disagree with it in many ways. Too bad. There are too many of us that support the constitution of the U.S. to let anyone make a mockery of it, so don’t worry. We’ll get through these tough times just like we always do.

Political Detox is what you need after being bombarded by thousands of emotionally charged message units whose goal is to get you to bypass your own judgment. Some of the purveyors of these messages are motivated by potential sales (monetary gain) and others are trying to solicit some sort of political gain. Both types of arguments are full of logical fallacies. In product marketing, why should you buy something you weren’t looking for in the first place? Are you not capable of doing your own shopping or research? With political marketing, the research is infinitely more corrupted; you don’t really know who or what to believe, because every source is completely biased!

So what can we do in order to detoxify politically? Relax. Know that the world is not ending, much as it won’t end if you don’t buy the car that is only available for this price until tomorrow. Resist fear. Doubt desperation. Be cool, read a diverse array of sources and sleep on it. Trust your own, informed judgment and be your own individual.

How can PdX help? Simply by not lying or pushing anyone to take our word for anything. PdX is a growing, changing environment that belongs to the Netsiteweb (nsw) Network as well. You won’t find any pushy sales people, hate speech or fear merchants on the Netsite web. Surf it, though, and you might get a few laughs.

Tu Yung, the phenomenal 19-year old Chinese gymnast of these 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, has done it again. In the pommel horse finals today, Tu again displayed the professional stamina that earned him his first three golds (earlier this week). Everyone knew the Chinese team was unbeatable, but Tu succeeded today in putting all foreign doubts to bed. 

When Tu Yung failed to climb the podium to receive the high honor, certain judges were called into question as to verification of Tu Yung’s official state birth certificate, claiming that he was “too young.” These allocations were quickly squashed and discredited as “Western Racism” and “Cultural Bias” by the Beijing Judges.

Tu Yung is rumored to be in training for the swimming finals in 2012. Tragically, his parents were reported “missing” in 2006 during the very month in which training for the 2008 Beijing Olympics began. Tu Yung’s religion is officially listed as “The State” and his favorite color is red.

“it’s not my job” said high school teacher Abbas Jadahoun (Sacramento Central Middle School) when queried by the AP earlier today. “I only make $85k a year, so it’s not really worth the extra effort to do it. They’re going to have to dig deep, and provide incentive to attract teachers who are more oriented to this sort of nonsense.”

The cost of effective textbooks alone will probably cost California taxpayers an extra $4 Billion, according to sources who wished to remain anonymous. It could be a rough ride for the remaining legals here, since the budget deficit of [only] $1.2 Billion has yet to be resolved. The Governator could not be reached for comment.

No one has suggested that the above stated numbers involved could be a little skewed, at best; however, one independent forensic accountant was seen packing his belongings and taking a crash course in Ancient Mayan language.

Someday there will be a great leader. He will have an enemy. A nation with a flag will have problems. Something will explode. A tall building will catch fire, causing someone or multiple people to be burned. In the West, a musician will be born. His name will start with the letter “B” and he will be a tall person. A hospital will close. A large aircraft will crash, causing a great scandal for some. The temperature of Earth shall rise and fall, making it possible for some politicians to use fear on ignorant people who are easily frightened.
