Hmmmm. I forgot to mention jealousy in my rap about the negative emotions. :-) The day Judy comes up with a theory of her own, one that she hasn't read in a book somewhere or has heard from someone she considers an "authority," the universe will collapse and implode upon itself. > In any case, as new morning (I think) pointed out, > Barry just described John Hagelin of the Natural Law > Party to a T. Naaaaah. I meant a *real* politician, one that doesn't cause the audience listening to him to wonder where the tin-foil hat is. :-) > > Examined in this light, maybe Keith Olbermann didn't hit > > it as far out of the park as I thought. > > (Still think he should run for.....hell, something.) > > Nah, we need him as a latter-day Edward R. Murrow. One might point out that Judy has been reduced to stealing my description of Olbermann, posted here a week or so ago. That TM stuff sure does increase one's creative potential, eh? :-) Interestingly enough, I read through Olbermann's rap with my theory in mind, and he's a tough one. He's definitely far too serious in his approach for me, and he definitely tries to pitch his appeal in terms of righteous anger and moral superiority (like Murrow), but he's far more balanced than some, and doesn't seem to pitch any particular emotion in his stuff. We'll see how he does as the elections grow closer. To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!' Yahoo!
