Today I am in a company meeting in what may be the new movement de jour in corporate America. Group psychotherapy. Cognitive behavioral learning…. being taught in a group setting, all in an effort to gain a single collective consciousness in a corporate environment. I have a sneaking suspicion that the brave new world is already upon us and has been there for at least 5-10 years now. We just haven’t noticed it…! In fact we seem to be embracing it almost oblivious to how it is destroying individuality and the appreciation for the natural order of things. Total Secularization seems to be the inescapable conclusion…. I am beginning to question if I want to be a part of this any longer….. It is begining to violate some of my innermost principles and values. Nuff said.

BBC NEWS | UK | Politics | WMD pressure builds up for Blair: “The prime minister is facing growing pressure to say the basis for going to war in Iraq was flawed.”
And so it goes… As both world leaders begin to look like they have been had by faulty “intelligence”. The CIA directors should be held accountable… Both in this administration and in the last as well as in Britain. The entire idea of current WMD stockpiles could have been played down if they had better intelligence, and instead more spin on POTENTIAL production and proximity of completion should have been used.
Of course that would not have been an acceptable justification for the U.S. to sanction an invasion, therefore, the White House decided to roll the dice just in case. Personally, I have no problem with that… They should have taken this guy out in the first war. But not having your facts straight sooner or later always bites you in the ass. Even though they might not have hard facts of possession, the POTENTIAL THREAT surely was there. I think the majority of American people know this and do feel better with Saddam gone.
The problem now is, how to get democratic stability in that country without it turning into another radical fundamentalist state ?

WMD may become a bigger issue in the Democratic Campaign.
TBILISI (Reuters) – Secretary of State Colin Powell (news – web sites) said on Saturday it was an “open question” whether stocks of weapons of mass destruction would be found in Iraq (news – web sites) and conceded it was possible Saddam Hussein (news – web sites) had none.
Powell made the comments one day after David Kay, the leader of the U.S. hunt for banned weapons in Iraq, stepped down and said he did not believe there were any large stockpiles of chemical or biological weapons in the country.

One can only imagine how this will play out in the months ahead.

Boing Boing: A Directory of Wonderful Things: “RIP, Whole Earth Review
Apparently another generational milestone has been reached. The final demise of the Whole Earth Review. The Whole Earth Review, as anyone over the age of 50 will remember, was the holy grail of Hippiedom !! A mainstay for “the movement” in the sixties and early seventies. I wonder how many flower children, now Conservative Republicans, are holding on to their catalogues as a financial investment to be sold on eBay when the price is right? Ironic isn’t it ?

Yahoo! News – Dean Reprises Election Night Rant
One can tell from this article that Mr. Dean is clearly in the damage control mode. Such activity will continue to distract the public from any message he has outside of Bush bashing. The strategy now seems for him to “play” with that image of an out of control madman to the point that it looses it’s imprinting factor with the public. It might work… to keep him in the hunt in the campaign, but the persona instability will haunt any swing moderate or independent voters who will be concerned about his electability.
Well at least he admits this is his natural personality. You’ll get what you see. No Fear of being himself that’s for sure. (Except now… that won’t last… it’s too confining for his style and looks contrived now.) We DID see the real Mr. Dean this week. I’ll give him that. The fear is in the mind of the observer as they conjure up this personality type dealing with a crisis !!

An interesting turn of events for Howard Dean. It will be very interesting to see if he can re-make himself…. wondering in fact if he SHOULD try to re-make himself. The more he tries to push himself out of his own natural nature, the more uncomfortable I think he will become. My gut tells me this fellow will not “alter” his “style” for very long…

Hat’s off to the Carolina Panthers. The consummate underdog in yesterday’s lopsided NFC playoff game. From the first moments of the game, it was clear that the feisty Carolina Nascar Dads came to play football. The story was far from the same with the cheese steak eating Eagles. Not only did they get their wings clipped, They did it in front of thousands of OVER CONFIDENT and uppity Eagles fans.
There was so much over confidence in the past week in the media from Philly fans, one would have thought Philadelphia would be the only team on the field yesterday. Less than 5 min was spent in the Philly media cautioning about Carolina’s running game. I don’t know what they had to be so confident about since they made it to yesterday’s game on a single miracle play with plenty of help from an excessively paranoid Green Bay coaching staff. Green Bay was taking it to them for almost the entire game.
Carolina is a team in the genre of Rodney Dangerfield… hard for them to get any respect. I, for one, hope Carolina beats the snot out of that other arrogant team, New England, in the next big show in two weeks.
New England fans see the Patriots as the second coming to their pathetic Red Sox baseball team, sometimes confusing the two in their typically warped, dysfunctional “fantasy” style of thinking. Case in point… The last time the Patriots won the SuperBowl, the day after, when the parades were held in Boston, fans were shouting “Yankees Suck”! So emotionally dysfunctional, distrubed and deeply rooted is their agony and torture with being a consummate “cursed” looser to New York in baseball, that they were actually fantasying the Pats as their surrogate baseball team !! How pathetic. One truly has to feel some pity for New England’s confused and misguided fans… The Bambino has apparently inflicted mass psychosis to an entire region of the U.S.
In two weeks they get to act out their warped distorted fantasies again…. New England fans… pisst… It’s not baseball ! It’s not the Yankees ! And, by the way, the Carolina Panthers come from Carolina, not New York, as much as you might regret that!! Take some Prozac and see a therapist – collectively you all need it.

Congratulations to the Panthers…. and I don’t feel that sorry for the Eagles. Everyone acted like is was a sure thing. A shoe in. Carolina wont get any respect even if they win the Superbowl !
The average Eagle fan is starting to understand what it must feel like to be Bills fan or a Red Sox fan. Choke city !!
Good Luck in the Superbowl Carolina… you guys worked hard for it !!!
