No, no, no. Karl Rove is Voldemort. Bush is the twitchy guy that carries him around hidden in his turban. He inherits the “must not be named” status that his evil overlord parasite confers. To Democrats, George W. Bush is the Voldemort of American politics, an evil force. But even to Republicans, he is He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, someone you dare not talk about as you try to win the votes of conservative Iowans. Link: George W.

The Corporate-Person American movement is picking up steam… hilarious satire is always best when it flies a little under the radar. Stumbled across this when I was looking for images of Occupy cardboard protest signs for an event in Second Life. From the serious to the absurd, spectacular imagery, costumes, and music will accompany a cast of characters who self-identify as “Corporate Persons†gathering to celebrate the first anniversary of their Emancipation from the shackles of disenfranchisement, and demand full recognition of a new minority status: the Corporate-Person American. They will unveil their giant “We the Corporations†reworking of the…

I just booked a business traveler to Rawlins, WY, and this picture from a road trip in 2004 popped into my head. Told my traveler to watch out for the two-headed Cadillac; he’s not from the US so he got a kick out of my description. There’s not much out there but wind farms and bitter cold, this time of year.

Gingrich could sew up the Rational Right if he picks Huntsman, plus it throws a juicy bone to all the good people who’s feelings were “hart” over Robotney’s treatment by the religious Right.

My travel guru/buddy “Hey Dar” points out Delta is boasting that they screw up a lot on baggage, since the bags are supposed to be on your flight. In case you missed this news around the Thanksgiving holiday, Delta says it’s the first U.S. airline to add baggage tracking to its app for smart phones and mobile devices. Delta says its Delta mobile app now allows customers to track their checked luggage. The app currently is available for Android, Windows and and iPhone devices. Delta says it expects to have a BlackBerry version available in “early 2012.” The mobile-device app…

Kossack David Nir gets to consume e tasty beverage of his choice; his diary on Rep. Joe Walsh’s reported $3.5mil campaign fund windfall got quoted on Huffington Post. That’s not quite as prestigious as being cited in Time or The New York Times, but it’s a pretty good showing. Especially as HuffPo’s Meghan Neal quoted my favorite political turn of phrase of the current election cycle. The closest I ever got to seeing my Congressman was when I showed up at a “small business” forum held nearby. Took photos of all the media trucks and went home. Well done, Kossack!…
