I have seen a lot of people writing about Lisa Murkowski’s decision to wage a spoiler write-in campaign, to try to prevent a Tea Party-backed GOP candidate from winning the general election.

Most of the writers look at it, incorrectly, in terms of Sen. Murkowski’s personal psychology. For example, they say she feels miffed about losing a seat that is supposed to be hers by right of inheritance. This motive may exist, but it is trivial.

In Illinois, there has long been an expression which describes the relationship between the two political parties: The Combine. Chicago Tribune writer John Kass seems to have originated this expression. See, for example, this article: In Combine, cash is king, corruption is bipartisan. Kass quoted former Illinois Senator Peter Fitzgerald: “In the final analysis, The Combine’s allegiance is not to a party, but to their pocketbooks. They’re about making money off the taxpayers,” Fitzgerald said. Kass went on: “He should know. He fought The Combine and lost, and the empty suits running the Republican Party encourage their friendly scribes to blame the social conservatives for the disaster of the state GOP.”

Sound familiar?

America, welcome to Illinois.

The way it works is this. The Democrat party is the senior member of the Combine. The GOP is the junior member of the Combine. The game is exactly the same, and whoever is up, or whoever is down, based on the random behavior of those rubes, the voters, does not matter. The game is always exactly the same, and the people who are in on the game, from either party, have a shared stake in defending the game.

The Combine is a term that should be more widely used in Illinois. It is also a word that should be more widely used in the USA in general.

Lisa Murkowski’s family, and her career, exist because of the Combine. Her interest is in preserving the existing game. She is preserving her stake and her family’s stake in a game they have benefitted from. There is no mystery about this at all. There is no need for psychiatry to understand why she is trying to stop Joe Miller. He threatens the game. It has nothing to do with the label “Republican.”

This is why Rome fell,

Star Wars

Saw the season premier of season 3 of the "Star Wars - The Clone Wars" series. Easily the most dramatically well crafted of all the Star Wars offerings.

I know claiming dramatic superiority to anything in the Star Wars franchise is not saying much, but, as I am a fan of Star Wars in general and have seen all the movies and both previous seasons of The Clone Wars, I must give kudos to Cartoon Network and the creators of the Clone Wars series for a job very well done!

On Icons and Liberace

Vs. lady Gaga. I used to trip on Liberace when I was a kid, and you could tell he was tgey, but even then I could tell he was a fantastic Pianist, OTOH I have seen very little of the gaga person, don't even want to ( nice ass though). In fact the only thing I have seen/heard is a performance from her Juillard days, And it was quite good, she can play, she can sing. But the Wall Street Journal has a nice short piece on Icons then and now, insightful and entertaining, read it here

What if they had a Hurricane and no one came?

All the cable channels are trying to scare people about a hurricane that, if you look at the weather maps show it will not affect the Eastern seaboard. winds are predicted at about 70 MPH or so, what is sad is that us in Socal deal with 70-100 MPH winds every year, they call em Santa Anas. I have dealt withe these winds for 47 years, sometimes 40-50 mph but I've been thru 100 mph winds that took my fences away,WAY AWAY.
But we don't live on the East coast,so we don't count, WTF ever!
