Sunday Talk: How to make ‘whole cloth’ live demonstrations
I make the statement in reference of late, almost 100% of all Talk Show dialog is based upon what many consider fallacious poll numbers. “Lay on, MacDuff. And damned be him that first cries ‘Hold, enough!’” Look Mom. I'm damned!
====================================================
Bruce Bartlett had a soon to be released book interview on C-Span Book TV with Clarence Page. I was mesmerized with Mr. Bartlett’s accounts of historical events about which he had written in his book, “Wrong on Race”.
Antidotal account after another kept me sitting on the edge of my chair with the relaxed mental comfort of, “Yeah, man! Learn me something!” Most notable was Mr. Bartlett’s account of the money Pres. Jefferson offered for one of his run-away slaves and the lashes he was to endure. And secondly, Mr. Bartlett’s flash of desperation when talking about the children of Sally Hemming and Mr. Page’s white protectionist stance regarding paternity. It happened in only an instant camera shot but if you watch closely you will see it and understand the patience of Mr. Bartlett during the interview.
===================================================================
I have yet to fully test my new found theory regarding my
reading of diaries and posts. If I can not break the posts down to The Three Little Pigs or Little Red Riding Hood story format with the appropriate heroes and herons, materials that stray from the structure are usually of the propaganda genre. They are usually VERY wordy, repetitive and full of side issues in parenthesis. Very disturbing to read if you intend to go to the end of the diatribe many times losing sight of what the author is writing. In my opinion, copious parentheses are one of the dead give aways. Constant conflicts with “what I think” and “what is”.
This is the problem I am having with Darfur. I can not see The Three Little Pigs nor Little Red Riding Hood. All I hear of is the wolf blowing down the little pig’s houses, raping the female pigs and killing the piglets. In the case of Little Red Riding Hood in relation to Darfur, all I hear is the wolf repeatedly raping poor Grand-ma. That’s it. Additional characters can be inserted and slight modifications can be tolerated but the format should remain the same and the whole structure can be “up-graded” to the intended audience. You have to have the structure very clear in your own head and it will be noticed if you do not. Believe me! I note a reporter asking Ex. UN Secretary John Bolton and columnist Bill Kristol what would happen once Israel or the US bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities. “Then what?” the reporter queried. If Bolton and kristol could have gotten away with kicking his ass, they would’ve.
As always,
BB
