    <title>Rustles & Glimmers: Musings on Possible Change of all Kinds</title>
    <link>http://www.rustlesandglimmers.wellconstructedsentence.com/blog</link>
    <description>Nothing is more interesting than change and the possibility of it. The reasons for transformation and the manner in which it unfolds in individuals and societies provide enormous if sometimes quiet drama. This blog examines situations in which ruin or decay--whether economic, political, or cultural--now approaches critical mass. It reports the whispers, rumblings, and shouts of dissatisfaction indicative of tension. It hearkens to the rustles, creaks, and explosions that precipitate decision. It seeks and encourages what may sometimes seem only the smallest glimmers of hope for positive shifts and resolution. From the individual to the nation, potential change comes in all forms and at all levels. There are therefore no limits to the topics upon which this blog may cast its attention.</description>

      <title>Community Theatre Review: Suspension of Disbelief a Must for Congress-Goldman Sachs Co-Production of "Die, You Gravy-Sucking Pig"</title>
      <link>http://www.rustlesandglimmers.wellconstructedsentence.com/blog/C20080917223028/E20100428115053/index.html</link>
      <description>&lt;br&gt;I've seen some show trials in Washington in my day, but Congress' current "flaying" of Goldman Sachs really takes the cake. Usually when Congress decides to make an example of someone, it's some unfortunate and unwilling schlub who gets thrown under the bus in order to hide the complicity of Congress itself. This time, we have a slightly different situation on our hands. The whole thing is high theatre, with both Congress and Goldman Sachs playing their roles to the hilt.&lt;br&gt;</description>

      <title>&lt;br&gt;Lord Monckton, Ambassador Bolton, and the Copenhagen Treaty: Reflections on a Conversation&nbsp;&lt;br&gt;</title>
      <link>http://www.rustlesandglimmers.wellconstructedsentence.com/blog/C20090803220249/E20091107000603/index.html</link>
      <description>&lt;br&gt;On October 30th, Lord Christopher Monckton and former U.N. ambassador John Bolton appeared across the table from one another on Glenn Beck s Fox News television program. If you haven t yet seen the program, the segments can be viewed here. The conversation between Monckton and Bolton remained quite friendly, but an interesting dichotomy emerged that should have Americans thinking.&lt;br&gt;</description>

      <title>&lt;br&gt;Lord Monckton's Debut on the B-Cast Puts Another Nail in Copenhagen's Coffin&lt;br&gt;</title>
      <link>http://www.rustlesandglimmers.wellconstructedsentence.com/blog/C20090803220249/E20091025173420/index.html</link>
      <description>&lt;br&gt;In his mission to sound an alarm concerning the Copenhagen Treaty, Lord Christopher Monckton, former science policy advisor to Lady Margaret Thatcher, continues his tour of lectures and meetings here in the United States. On Friday, October 23rd, his Lordship joined Breitbart.TV s The B-Cast for a generous and highly informative interview that lasted over an hour. The discussion revealed much about the degree to which first the American people and now U.S. legislators have begun to respond to the threat the treaty poses to U.S. sovereignty.&lt;br&gt;</description>

      <title>Take That, Al Baby! &nbsp;Monckton Makes It to the Glenn Beck Radio Program...and Beyond</title>
      <link>http://www.rustlesandglimmers.wellconstructedsentence.com/blog/C20090803220249/E20091019133904/index.html</link>
      <description>&lt;br&gt;Glenn Beck's third hour of radio this morning delivered a significant blow to the international treaty President Obama is expected to sign in Copenhagen in early December. Mr. Beck spoke for approximately fifteen minutes with Lord Christoper Monckton.&nbsp;A former advisor on science policy to Lady Margaret Thatcher, Monckton has become known around the world as the "Anti Al Gore." Those who read my previous article, or who have now seen the video of Lord Monckton's October 14th lecture at Bethel University, will already know that his message now extends beyond the global warming lie itself. Rather his Lordship is busily sounding an alarm about where that lie will shortly take us if we do not act quickly to stop it.&lt;br&gt;</description>

      <title>&lt;br&gt;&nbsp;What Lord Monckton Said at Dinner&lt;br&gt;</title>

      <description>&lt;br&gt;On Monday, October 12th, I was extremely privileged to spend time with Lord Christopher Monckton and his wife, Lady Juliet Monckton. You never know the unexpected ways in which God will bless you. &nbsp;In passing the evening with this exceptional couple, I was doubly blessed not only by the pleasure of their excellent company but also by their clear insight into matters of great import--matters that have the potential utterly to destroy the sovereignty of the United States. This entry recounts what Lord and Lady Monckton shared with myself and others over the course of a pre-lecture dinner conversation. His Lordship also worked a portion of this information into his talk at the University of Wisconsin-Madison later that evening.&lt;br&gt;</description>

      <title>Someone Call the Morgue: Funny or Die Has Had a Propaganda Accident</title>

      <description>&lt;br&gt;Hollywood Lefties just keep lining up to churn out for the Obama agenda. Heck, you d think they were on that NEA call in August.&nbsp; Their latest  accomplishment  is a mock PSA from Will Ferrell and Co. at the all-too-aptly named Funny or Die. Produced in conjunction with MoveOn.org part of the community-organized machine that continues to mobilize on behalf of the president the video manages to be distinctly unfunny.&lt;br&gt;</description>

      <title>&lt;br&gt;Liberal Progressive Deprogramming: Parts 1 - 24&lt;br&gt;</title>
      <link>http://www.rustlesandglimmers.wellconstructedsentence.com/blog/C20090920205532/E20090920205600/index.html</link>
      <description>&lt;br&gt;Let's face it: Liberal progressivism causes brain damage. Those who fall victim to this insidious mental epidemic frequently lose all ability to reason. These poor souls need help...and lots of it. Awareness of this need recently led me to develop a series of handy deprogramming sessions through Twitter. It's still in experimental phase, but some indication already exists that, if nothing else, it at least innoculates the deprogrammer against infection. Each session is limited to 140 characters or less. The sessions can thus be easily memorized and effortlessly applied when sudden need arises. Feel free to mix and match depending on the particular form lunacy you encounter. However, for your convenience, I have arranged them in therapeutic sets that will prevent you from overtaxing minds heavily damaged by this viral threat&lt;br&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;br&gt;Before I can write further on this topic, you ll need to view a video. Don t worry.&nbsp; No boring history or heavy concepts. In fact, it s downright fluffy and entertaining filled with attractive faces you ll recognize from the television, film, and music industries. You don t even need to visit another site. I ve brought the video right to you. Come on. It ll be fun& and oh so inspiring.&lt;br&gt;</description>

      <title>&lt;br&gt;Breaking Up Is Hard to Do: Barack Obama vs. Independents and Moderate Democrats&lt;br&gt;</title>

      <description>&lt;br&gt;One of my two closest friends studied political science in college. She s always thought of herself as a liberal. A few days ago she called me and moaned,  Oh, Kirsten&  I didn t ever want to be a conservative&  &nbsp; We chuckled briefly about it. But you know what?&nbsp; Slowly but surely, that s what s happening to her, and she knows it.&nbsp;  I still can t bear the far right,  she opined,  but I feel so disillusioned with the Democrats. They are taking us in the wrong direction. In the last week or two, I m looking around at what s happening, and I actually feel scared. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;She d said a mouthful. And polls indicate that she is far from alone.&lt;br&gt;</description>

      <title>Last Time I Checked, the Constitution Was Still Valid...Despite the Fact that Some See It as Toilet Paper</title>

      <description>&lt;br&gt;Because I know some will read this entry (not to mention those that will follow it) and immediately leap to accuse me of partisan politics, I wish to preface my remarks today.&nbsp;&lt;br&gt; I no longer have even the smallest shred of faith in either Democrats OR Republicans.&nbsp; Both parties have proven themselves every bit as irresponsible, sycophantic, and elitist.&nbsp; Both have lost touch with reality. &nbsp;My thoughts are my own, but they are clearly shared by a growing number of Americans who do not wish to stand by any longer while their country is weakened and destroyed.&lt;br&gt; Now then& &lt;br&gt; Though my ability to contribute to this blog has remained sporadic until now, I have dedicated it to the discussion of change of all types.&nbsp; George Bush, Barack Obama, and our illustrious Congress have certainly given me plenty of fodder over these last months as they have instigated and implemented changes that, ultimately, can only be toxic to this nation and its people& because they are detrimental to our Constitution.&lt;br&gt; </description>

      <title>&lt;br&gt;&nbsp;Welcome to Socialism, America... Whether You Like It or Not&lt;br&gt;</title>

      <description>&lt;br&gt;I didn't think Henry Paulson could get any more brazen in overstepping the bounds of his proper authority. &nbsp;But when I woke yesterday morning and began to read the news, my jaw dropped yet again. Now he has literally strong-armed healthy banks into nationalization. I was already calling him King Henry, but now I realize it's time to endow him with a new title. How about Überkaiser...? &nbsp;Nah... &nbsp;Now that I think about it, I say we go with Führer. It's so historically rich, practically trips off the tongue, and is oh so fitting.&lt;br&gt;</description>

      <title>&lt;br&gt;Henry Paulson: Crony and Snake in the Grass&lt;br&gt;</title>

      <description>&lt;br&gt;Henry, Henry, Henry... I see you. I see what you are. I see what you're doing. And I wouldn't trust you if my life depended on it. Which, at the moment, it kind of does. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If you, dear reader, are a taxpayer--and I'm guessing you do fall into that category--Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson's "bold plan" to guard against recession both at home and abroad should have you hopping mad and incredibly suspicious. The plan, which we have yet to see in a finalized form, would give congress the power to buy bad debt from private industry. The price tag mentioned in the media this morning? I hope you're sitting down... $700 BILLION dollars. &lt;br&gt;</description>

      <title>&lt;br&gt;The Federal Reserve Marches On&lt;br&gt;</title>

      <description>&lt;br&gt;After today's news that the Federal Reserve will "loan" insurance conglomerate AIG $85 billion, I feel horrified but hardly surprised.... The Federal Reserve is currently taking full advantage of Wall Street's failures and, in so doing, succeeding wildly at fulfilling its covert mission: to empty the pockets of the American taxpayer.&lt;br&gt;</description>
