Branding 0

In a long article in New York Magazine delightfully entitled “Lipstick on a Elephant,” Frank Rich fisks the current media myth-making over Republican attempts to remake/rebrand/reform (depending on the pundit of the day) the party and its image and concludes that it is but a legend of the Village elite, a tinkling cymbal, a sounding bell, signifying nothing.

A nugget:

This is why Karl Rove’s “Conservative Victory Project,” which would oppose rape-obsessed candidates like (Todd “Legitimate Rape”–ed.) Akin when they surface in GOP Senate primaries, was dead on arrival. Republicans vote for candidates like Akin in primaries because they actually believe in them, not because they are duped.

Afterthought:

Branding seems to have been sort of a theme today.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
