I may miss the Next Big Thing, which Breitbart of Big Government has promised for noon ET.
BACK LIVE: It is a tape of the controversial NEA call of Aug 10. With ACORN Breitbart had good follow-up tapes. I think he will need more here for this to take off.
That tells me there is more to come. "a shameful time" He is a sly fox...I'm starting to really like him a lot. Kind of cute too.

This all part of the same pattern I was looking at in my "White House Calvary" database posts over at Quasiblog back in March. Even further back, in Novemenber of 2008, Karl Rove was already pointing out bread crumbs on this trail:
No brakes appear to have been applied, and the political wing of the White House has been busy building the kind public/private partnerships Obama has always had in mind ever since.

Tom Delay - ((Definitely, a guy with a raw deal from playing the same game as the democrats pull in their dominant states.))
Amen JiB. When a Rep. plays like a Dem. they get brought up on charges. The examples are endless, and that is what is SO frustrating. The double standard. The selective outrage.
I printed off one speech Tom Delay gave in Israel that is wonderful. A strong true believer in conservatism, and his Faith.

This arts group played a key role in Obama’s arts effort during his election campaign, as declared by the organizers of the call, and many on the call played a role in the now famous Obama Hope poster.
That would be Shepard Fairey who also made the OBEY sticker famous. Maybe we need an "OBEY OBAMA" sticker in Fairey's agitprop style.

Simply have a bunch of corrupt FBI folks inundate a small population state with a ton of bogus lawsuits, then hold the Trial in DC, 4,000 miles away from where anyone lives who would know in a minute from actually walking thru Steven's A-frame shack that the charges were bogus, and populate the Jury with employee's from the NEWSeum.

Taranto quoting Joe Conason defending ACORN:
"ACORN's troubles should be considered in the context of a history of honorable service to the dispossessed and impoverished. No doubt it was fun to dupe a few morons into providing tax advice to a "pimp and ho," but what ACORN actually does, every day, is help struggling families with the Earned Income Tax Credit"
No wonder the Left can be so nonchalant speculating that May Jo of Chappaquidick would be satisfied her death resulted in good works by Teddy.
Yet the meme remains that we Repubs are the ones who don't care about individuals and want to starve children. I heard it from my daughter's grade school buddy's when I field-tripped them around town last year.
"Daddy " she asked me, "Are you a Republican or a Democrat?"
"A Republican" I answered.
'That's what I thought", she answered, but when I told that to John and Aiden and Joey and Logan they said you couldn't be a Republican, because Republican's are mean, and since you're not mean they say you must be a Democrat."
We still got lots of work to do folks.

Just replace the brackets with < and >, Matt. If it's done right, you should see it in Preview, but it only fits here if it's a small enough pic to fit in Typepad's area. I just checked and the one you tried here is too big. (For your own blog, you can probably use tags like height="320" width="250" to shrink the pic, using proporitional nums; e.g., if the real pic was 640 x 500, but I don't think that works here no matter what height and width tags you try.)

Obama seems to be more into symbols than past presidents. He has is own logo. It's the letter O with a rainbow across it.
At one time he had his own seal. It was before he was president. He also has logos for the anticipated economic recovery, and health care, and I don't know what else.
Most world leaders don't have their own logo or a symbol like the Obama "O" that they are associated with.

The U.S. did have propaganda programs during WWI and WWII that depended on graphic images, posters, comics, etc. That propaganda was meant to promote unity against our enemies. The NEA was established in 1965, but I think Obama is the first President to ask the NEA to get the recipients of grants involved in promoting his policies.

forget the food for the kids, just lots of sodas and mirrors for the girls (safety pins, hair spray, needle and thread, cover up, deodorant, etc etc) After my daughter's graduation weekend and final ball in June I realized we were completely irrelevant except to make countless runs to CVS.

Assuming I didn't miss anyone, here's a list of participants identified in the NEA conference call transcript. It clearly doesn't include everyone, since Patrick Courrielche apparently didn't volunteer his name.
Mike Skolnik, film maker and political director for Russell Simmons.
Called "Hosts" by Skolnik:
Hal Mendoza, Michael De La Rocha, Raymond Leon Rolker, Aaron Rose, Tayyib Smith, Rob Stone and Nicolette Vassel
Apparently serving as "Speakers":
Nell Abernathy, outreach director for United We Serve.
Buffy Wicks, Office of Public Engagement.
Thomas Bates, Rock the Vote
Yosi Sergant, NEA, director of communications
Ostensible Guests:
Chris Holmes
Apple Bea
Mr. Shriven from Mark Gecko
Rebecca Krause-Hardy
Hunter Haney from Voice Project
Liz Ban
Tom Bazis from Education Dynamics
Constance Schwartz
Lee Keyonis
Rachel Furman
Evan Surfoley
Mobaloge Akatunday from Chicago
Bim Ayandele from Winner & Associates in L.A
Jeff Kimmerling from Lincoln, Nebraska.
Joshua Fine with Baron Fine LLP in Los Angeles
Karen Kimmel from Los Angeles
Avia Shea from Los Angeles and fusicology.com
Tayyib Smith from Philadelphia
Kevin Strausner
Saskia [or Sauskia] Brown from Current in L.A.
Carmichael here from Los Angeles
Sean Bonner from Los Angeles
Michael Fog from Los Angeles
Nick Avala from Los Angeles
Valentine from Brooklyn, New York
LAZARUS: From New York
Sharon Lewis from New York, New York
Joe Scabara, Los Angeles
Mike De La Rocha
Pedro Alonzo in San Diego
Paul Roden, Pittsburgh, PA
Lynn Hasty from Green Galactic in Los Angeles
Sean Akatunday, Chicago, Illinois
Mark Bevin from Los Angeles
Victor Wong from Washington D.C.
Mat Clark filling in in Chicago for Mike (inaudible)
Lori Bull in Los Angeles with Shepard Fairey
Rob Stone from New York, Fader Magazine Cornerstone
Justin Runner, L.A.
Leo Bolero from Mark Gecko.
Black from Philadelphia
Nicolette Vassel from Dive Projects, New York
The detail that practically leapt off the page for me came when Nell Abernathy, outreach director for United We Serve, responded to a question about Organizing For America and the differences between Organizing For America and Serve.gov (emphasis mine):
The conversation was also remarkable for its focus on politics, not art, although serpentine syntax deserves an honorable mention. The only originality on display was Slotkin's convenient spin on the hackneyed what-is-art question: "art in its definition is service."

He must have been buried under an intellectual rock if he's only just now observing that, "I’m not the only one reaching the 'mile wide, inch deep” conclusion.'" Most of the folks here had pretty much reached that conclusion back when it was just a glint in Ed's eye.
