Creative Diagramming

Moe Lane at Red State is busy spreading the meme, which a co-worker shared with me via e-mail, that there's a flow-chart of sorts floating around that "explains" the Democratic health reform effort. You can find it here full-size, but here it is in a slightly smaller version:



Now, as far as bureaucracy goes, I'm not sure what our current model would look like, and the above diagram is pretty discouraging. However, in his post, Moe strongly hints that the Democrats are trying to suppress this diagram, and that it's for internal use only. Actually, it turns out that the Democrats had nothing to do with this chart: it was cooked up by Texas Republican Kevin Brady, who posted it under the heading "Baffling Flow Chart."

Well hell's bells, Congressman, you're one to complain about it being "baffling": YOU CREATED IT!

In the spirit of bipartisan cooperation on the issue of health care reform, I have decided to do Brady the same favor he's done us, by diagramming for the American public the flow chart of the Republican plan for health care reform. Now, I'm no graphic designer, but hey, I think it's about as fair and clear as Rep. Brady's effort:

  1. Crisp design, nice lines. You have a future in the baffling flowchart industry.

Apparently, Liberals Are The Illuminati

posted 10/5/2012 by the Salt City Sinner Greetings, sheeple, from my stronghold high atop the Wells Fargo Building in downtown Salt City, where I type this before a massive, glowing bank of monitors that display the ongoing progress of my 23-point plan for complete social control. Whether you want to demonize me as a "liberal," or prefer the Glenn Beck update "progressive," we all know the truth, and it's time to pull the curtain aside: like all left-leaning persons, I am actually a member of the Illuminati. How else to explain how much power my side of the aisle wields in U.S. American politics? According to conservatives, liberals/the Illuminati control the media * , science * , academia in general * , public schools * , public radio * , pretty much anything "public," the courts * , and Hollywood * . Hell, we pretty much control everything except for scrappy, underdog operations like WND and Fox News, or quiet, marginalized voices like

The Garden Is Dead, Long Live The Garden

posted on 8/30/2015 by the Salt City Sinner  The last two times that I wrote about gardening, the tone was uncharacteristically less “playful whimsy” than “agonized demon howl.” This is with good reason. The cockroach-hearted fauxhemian Whole Foods crowd at Wasatch Community Gardens, you see, did a terrible thing to me and many other people – they decided that agreements are for suckers and that what the world really needs is another blighted patch of asphalt rather than a large and vibrant community garden, and so they killed my garden (and the gardens of many others) dead, dead, dead. Forgive my bitterness: there is something about loving a patch of actual soil, about nurturing life from tiny green shoots to a luxurious canopy of flowers and vegetables that brings out a protective streak in a human being, and also a ferocious loyalty. The destruction of Sugar House Community Garden did not, however, end my gardening career – heavens, no! Instead, I and a handful of

Cult Books: One Good, One Terrible

  I’ve finished writing a new novel (stay tuned for details) in which the massacre at Jonestown in November 1978 plays a pivotal role. Both to research it and because the phenomenon interests me, I’ve read more than a few books on cults and cultic ideology over the last year.
