Arthur Blank the Atlanta Falcons football team owner in response to a question on the December 10th, 2007; Monday night football game made one of the classic racist off-color jokes about Black people and fried chicken. Arthur Blank said If Michael Vick, the imprisoned Atlanta Falcons Quarter Back, didn't eat too much fried chicken while in prison, blah,blah,blah------The reality is Arthur Blank said it.
Arthur blank has been white and American long enough to know that fried chicken and black people jokes is part of the racist wink and nod. To imply otherwise, as a statement released by the Atlanta Falcons Team in damage control, that it's preposterous for any one to note the bigotry of Blank's off-color remark, considering Blank does a lot for black causes, not only adds insult to injury but it highlights how the Blank's of the world don't get it. What is preposterous is Arthur Blank is so accustomed to off-color and racist jokes that the inanity of one was his only metaphor, an inept and bumbling attempt at gallows humor at the expense of one's misfortune and his purported gentility.
Racist jokes albeit jokes continue the dehumanization process material racism pursues.

Competition, The Human Condition and Irrationality
The competitive imperative within Political-Economical Theorization implies that the means through which life recreates itself, is not uniformly distributed, hence, the human condition in pursuit of recreating the necessary and vital means for existence and survival, must compete for that which is available.
Competition thus, then exist in the realm of the impelled, an irrational response to the lack of uniformity or better put, the inability of the human condition to attain uniform availability of condition requisite for existence and survival.
This state of nature anticipates that ability to recreate uniformly that which in nature is non-uniform--- and this refutes the mantra of competition as political tendency.

Sleight of Hand, Bush, The C.I.A., One-upmanship and the Democrats
Are we expected to accept it's coincidental the significant disclosures that Iran discontinued the weaponization of it's nuclear program back in 2003 and the destruction of video tapes of C.I.A. interrogations dating back to 2005, just normally and naturally occurred in the course of the daily affairs of the Republic in the altruistic logic of governance.
Were it not for the fact the altruistic insidiousness of governance has been quite revealed over the course of human history and the United States in it's brief existence has assiduously contributed it's share. Nothing then would be amiss were we the populace to stand in Rockwellian Profile bowled over applauding governance and it's functionality.
But that is not the case. We stand on a construct which from it's inception with defiance "All men are created equal" mocked the obscene truth that the stench of slavery, black people held in chattel slavery were the foundation for the pursuit of happiness, the prosperity requisite to once again cut off the nose to spite the face of redemptive sapience from the alienation of idealism.
The Bush Administration, Neo-Conservatism and it's Evangelical-Christian hypocrisy had been chomping at the bit till it was disclosed that it's claims against the Iranian Nuclear Program was propaganda. An oppositionary impetus for whatever reason reversed earlier held views and the specter of World War III which Bush had with straight face claimed the Iranian Ayatollahs had designed for the world fizzled and morphed into the strange and peculiar revelation that the C.I.A. had destroyed tapes of it's interrogation of suspects, strangely enough attention was diverted from the Bush propaganda of a nuclearized Iran by the C.I.A. tapes, torture disclosures.

Neo-Conservatism and Islamic Imperialism, A Dialectic
It's always laughable when Al Qaeda is propped up as being past masters of Terrorism in the context of political action. Are they even talking about the same Al Qaeda who we are told in daily taps blowing news reels that Sunnis in parts of Iraq have run aground? Is this the same Al Qaeda that cannot even seize and hold territory? Is this the same Al Qaeda whose Ideological contradictions is so buffoonish that the substance of it's Political-Economy, it's value comes from it's enemies?
How real is the Caliphate specter, Islamic Imperialism painted by Bush and Co. in the recent edition of The Boy Who Cried Wolf one too many times, when the Islamicist enemy cannot even hold down a neighborhood in Baghdad. Yet if Neo-Conservatism is to be believed Islamic Imperialism is a strategic equal to it's Free-Enterprise Dictatorship sibling.

Compassionate Conservatism and Steroids
Whats wrong with this.
George Bush had the temerity in two accounts. First as owner of a baseball team and secondly as a President in declaring the indictment of Barry Bonds a "sad day for baseball."
The pronouncement accomplished one thing, reinforcing human idiocy in the context of hypocrisy on a Texas sized grand scale. George Bush first as an owner of a baseball team, the Texas Rangers, was part of the steroid producing fabric which by the way created the entertaining spectacle Bush now derides as a sad day for baseball. Secondly as President, Bush abridged the will of the people in the matter of U.S. vs Scooter Libby which was all about perjury.
Scooter Libby was convicted in a matter of national security, specifically putting a C.I.A. agent in harms way.
Whats further unwholesome about the Scooter Libby incident is Men, privileged men without any hesitation decided a woman, Valerie Plame was fair game.
Bush never pronounced that was a sad day in U.S. affairs, he didn't tongue in cheek declare it a sad day for the human condition. Bush instead, by decree decided Scooter Libby's felonious malfeasance was excusable.
Should the issue of steroids even be a Bush Administration social policy concern and priority when 2 million human-beings fill up U.S. jails and prisons? It causes one to wonder, besides reactionary demagoguery what world view Bush and Co. truly have.
