Gov. Palin VS Obama's Short List

who said during Denver, "Well if this party has a message it has done a hell of a job of hiding it tonight I promise you that" and "I look at this and I am about to jump out of my chair...There's no message coming out of here, there is no sense that the party has a sense of urgency, and we've only got four nights this is 25% of the whole thing."

Hmmm....maybe I'm inspired by WaPo's analogy of Palin to Caligula's Horse today, but I think the Clintons ensured that the Democratic Convention pretty much fiddled while Rome burned, as Carville said.  Obviously Carville's on the payroll just like good old Bob Beckel, who admitted how much he admired Palin until someone kicked him under the table last Friday.  Let's face it - these ol' boys have gotta say something.

these were obviously Romneybots who were pushing hard for McCain to pick the one term Mass guv. You remember, he could not run for a second term because he would loose but somehow he would bring MA and MI into play.

For the record I do believe Sarah Palin is as qualified to be VP as Tim Kaine, if not more so.

I've read Milton Erickson's book "My Voice Will Go With You" and studied Richard Bandler's techniques.  Bandler is one of Erickson's proteges and the author of "Frogs Into Princes".  I use NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) in my business process analysis because I often have clients who are extremely shy and/or reticent to reveal exactly how they perform their work since they perceive my role as that of the "efficiency expert" who's come to replace their job with a computer. 

NLP is based on several things, so to try to keep it at a high level, I'll summarize:

• The mind is compared to a computer which can be programmed
• Data is stored in the form of pictures and movies, not in the form of words
• The brain is exposed to gigabytes of data but can only perceive a very small amount - so it reduces the input through the person's Beliefs and Values filters
• Just like a Trojan Horse or background program can be installed on your computer, subliminal programming can be installed in the mind by overriding the filters
• Subliminal programming techniques can be either covert or overt, and can be performed on one individual or an entire room (or stadium or TV audience) of many people simultaneously while the subjects are wide awake

Some people know how to make the time to read this article and watch this video. I embedded commands in that last phrase by overriding your conscious filter with two subconscious instructions.  Believe it or not, it's up to you.  In my line of work, it's made me far more successful than I would have been otherwise and it makes people who ordinarly fear and loathe my work actually enjoy the process.  In the end, I actually don't replace the work people do with a computer (I make what they do on the computer more effective), so I feel ethical about my use of NLP to relax people and put them at ease.  But that's not to say there aren't many unethical practices that can be done with this training.
