...But of these sophisms and elenchs of merchandise I skill not...
Milton, Areopagitica

Except he had found the
standing sea-rock that even this last
Temptation breaks on; quieter than death but lovelier; peace
that quiets the desire even of praising it.

Jeffers, Meditation On Saviors

The insinuating:

“The insinuation from the Obama campaign that John McCain, a former prisoner of war, cheated is outrageous,” Ms. Wallace said.

Despite Assurances McCain wasn't in 'Cone of Silence'
NYTimes 17.Aug.08
Because everyone knows that prisoners of war would have no reason to be dishonest, to learn dishonest subtleties, to practice them at crucial moments.
Successful prisoners of war wouldn't. We mean McCain in that he made it through - a kind of success, if not the highest form available.
So he would basically be incapable of running a campaign staffed with people who would be dishonest in order to get him elected.
This should go without saying.
It's just the times, how confused everyone is, how dark it looks ahead, how what's beautiful still is set off against that background, of confusion and darkness, and made brilliant.
Speaking of that, why is Obama and race and racism an issue, but the suddenly-everywhere Sarkozy's ethnicity is meaningless?
Sarkozy the peacemaker in Colombia, and now again in Georgia.
What is Sarkozy's ethnicity? He doesn't "look" "French". Or maybe now that's what it is, a typical Frenchman, like Bush is a typical-looking American for much of the rest of the world.
Some will tell you Sarkozy's like Cardinal Lustiger, the almost-Pope, a Jewish boy hidden from persecution disguised as a gentile, raised as a gentile. Some say Sarkozy's one fourth Jewish.
What does Obama's black parentage matter, except to him, and by that to all of us, when he seeks national office.
Why is what happened in Georgia crucial?
Look at FOXNews, listen and look at how they portray the Russians, and Russia.
It was said hereabouts at the time that it looked like an opening gambit more than an enclosed moment. That it smelled like Russia was getting set up for a hit.
Now, in the minds of those for whom FOXNews is the voice of authority, Russia is replacing Iran as the most current villain.
American Demon.
Who Wants To Be A Nuclear?
The Defense Minister of Georgia is an Israeli.
So when Saakasvili says he feels bettrayed by Israel and the US, what does that mean?
What does it mean that the highbrow broadsheets in the US painted Saakasvili as having "miscalculated"?
The State Minister for Territorial Integration, his title in Georgian, is himself from Israel.
If they were Americans wouldn't that be remarkable?
What's subtly telling is that Saakasvili, when he refers to them doesn't call them "ex" Israelis.
Defense and Territorial Integration - the invasion of South Ossetia by Georgian military.
If Obama's racial and political and social hybridist childhood is a topic, because of how it shapes him, why aren't the possible dualities of loyalty in high level and strategically central Georgian leadership being discussed, for essentially the same reason?
Why, without a word of it to that being directly spoken, has the outbreak of violence in Georgia, triggered by the Georgian invasion of South Ossetia and consequent slaughter of civilians by Georgian military, assumedly under the direction of the Minister of Defense as well as the Georgian President, become the invasion of innocent democratic Georgia by villainous Russia?
This is note for note how Saddam Hussein became responsible for 9-11 in the minds of the FOXNews congregation, and many others of their countrymen.
By innuendo and imagery link, by sneering tones and drama in the presentation of the name, by lying without saying the lie.
