What do progressives need in a great ultily grade local, state, and national political speech?  Well we are always working on that here in blogland, wether we know it or not.

Even our right winds fiends ...er friends, are helping the dialectic produce it. 

We merely need to glean.  Glean the perfect speech from the "aether".   Calling on the political muse. 

Jobs that last, good jobs, based on sustainable renewable energy and next generation techology like solar and wind power and electric plugin vehicles.  Jobs in local economies, like farming, logging, manufacturing, recreation, real estate, construction.. that all rest on long term local economic health, instead of short term corporate destruction.  Powerful interests corrupting local government and selling resources out cheap for temporay profits and temporay  jobs.

 An affordable health insurance safety net preventing all these catastopic bankruptcies due to uninured medical disasters, very personal family disasters. Health insurance that lasts so older workers can get jobs, companies are freezing people likely to have uninsured heatlh problems out of hiring, right into financial trouble. 

Older baby boomers missing affordable health insurance are at the age where they tend to vote consistently.  This issue is vital.  My idea would be to lower the medicare age 2 years every year until everyone is covered.  But means test medicare so those with over say 200,000 per year income do not get the benefits they don't need, they can afford their own insurance.

Now to reframe all this into bumper sticker slogans!  Hehehey.

As the evil, sulfur fuming GOP political consultants say, "we have a bumpersticker, they have an essay."

Their thinks tanks, Heritage foundation, Cato Institute, American enterprise Institure make up those bumperstickers, it's up to us progressive bloggers to get our bumpers stuck.

Let's all challenge our favorite blogs to work this out, dialectically.

As I've talked over the original duuhbya "trifecta", and his new "trifecta",

http://gristmill.grist.org/story/2006/9/19/63034/8000/#5

 may I now  consider Hugo's "trifecta"?

The "sulfur fumes" reference as in he could still smell them at the UN podium after duuhbya's (devilya's) visit.

Satirizing the salem witch trial religious nut wing overtoned axis of evil pronouncements of the duuhbyaist regime.

Satirizing the chimp himself directly.  (Judge not, oh yee of shrub-like faithbasedness, hehey)

And of course the oily sufurous fumes of the exxonmob/halliburton minions from hell follow this feller everywhere he goes.

It's Hugo's trifecta joke that beats anything our lame chimp in chief could do, even with decent writers. 

Both of these torturing dictators run on oil of course.  Who tortures and kills more people?  Bush or chavez?  That ought to be a topic at their separate but equal trials, that might be held were there actually justice on this planet.

Post script!   Hugo controls citgo through Venezualan ownership. 

What's next?  China owning Walmart? 

Then who will buy exxonmob?  Iran?  Saudi Arabia?  Putin's KGB oil mob?  Just bidness as usual for the texas oil boy prez.

Nero and bonnie prince duuhbya separated at birth?  Hmmmm.

It looks like the first dawning of the technology to store renewable energy from wind, water, and solar power in the batteries of electric plugin cars plugged into the power grid.

I mentioned this in another article here awhile back. 

http://amazngdrx.blogharbor.com/blog/_archives/2005/7/10/1012526.html

100s of millions of electric cars plugged in while sitting still (95% of a car's life is parked) at home, at work, at school or shopping.  Storing power, days worth of power to even out solar and wind power peaks and valleys.

Then one can charge the car full up in a few minutes when needed, either by programming the charger in the electric car, say for the time one leaves for work, or simply waiting 5 minutes to get it back to full charge anytime it is need for commuting.

Car owners that plugin to help the grid smooth its peaks would be rewared with lower cost killowatts for their car and home.  Depending upon how many storage killowatts their car provided to the grid.  all simple with computerized electronic metering and billing.

Actually this makes it worth having battery storage in one's home too.  Storing power for the power company and reducing your energy costs.  And it fits right in with home solar, wind, and even farm biogas fuel cell/microturbine  electric power generation (75% efficiency electric power from cow poop!).

The value of your killowatt hours gleaned from your own renewable energy system can be maximized by getting payed to help the power company smooth out peak demand and renwable energy supply.

Yep, these experts must have read my blog, hehey.

My previous recomendation on global climate disaster enhanced flooding, hydroelectric power, and restoring depleted aquifers.

Just as certain animals; dogs, cats, cows evolved symbiotically with humans, so did certain plants.

Corn, wheat, grains, vegetables, fruit trees  all suceed because they help their huiman partners suceed.  Medicinal plants do too.

Most of the commercial medicines available now were discovered by biochemists exploring traditional herbal cures.   Getting back to that root of healthcare, symbiosis between medicine plants and humans might just cure the problems with the rising cost of healthcare that makes it unafordable for most of the people on spaceship earth who need it.

Uninsured in the US?  They have to treat you anyway.  For the billions in the poorer countries it's either Doctors Without Borders or some other heroic NGO or nothing.

Going back to symbniosis with the natural world could reveal a treasure trove of medical enlightenment.  Let the developed world lead the way!
