On my way to dropping my son off at school today I was caught behind an Audi SUV festooned with Obama support paraphernalia, the driver of which — once I pulled up close behind her — was rather ostentatious about keeping either at or just below the speed limit.
– That is, until we approached the first yellow light. At which point she gunned her silver bitch, making it through the crossing just as the light turned red, leaving me behind to sit at an empty intersection, waiting for the light to cycle back to green.
All of which I mention because I’m almost certain there’s a metaphor somewhere in there. Having not yet read Teaching for Social Justice, however, I don’t presume to know what an “authentic” metaphor is — and what’s more, I’m not at all convinced that, as a white man, I’m even capable of making observations that aren’t, as a matter of course, rendered useless by my complicity in a system that, ironically, so constrains me.
And, you know — my car.

Interesting. A few weeks ago, a little before 8 a.m. on a school morning, I was out walking my two large dogs when some middle-aged woman in an Audi station wagon came bombing down our quiet, middle-class street. Though I am (and was at the time) very obviously pregnant, she slowed down not a hair as she drove past me — very nearly hitting me, in fact, though I was standing at the edge of the neighbor’s lawn.
There was a Code Pink sticker affixed to the back of her car. FOR THE CHILDREN!!!, no doubt…

Of course, the more conservative elderly drivers with “PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN” emblem in one form or another have the tendency to drive =< the speed limit. In the fast lane.

I haaaaate that.
I’ve never heard anyone else mention this one, but it is on my (extremely long) list of pet driving peeves: The driver who timidly creeps up to a green light, pauses until it turns yellow or red, and then rockets through, leaving the cars behind stranded at a long red light.
Related: The driver waiting to pull out from a parking lot onto a busy street, who agonizes over the decision about whether or not to pull out when the on-coming stampede is a mile away, and then finally makes up her mind and jumps out when the on-coming traffic is 15 feet away.
Comment by B Moe on 10/9 @ 4:37 pm #
My bane is folks trying to turn left out of a parking lot onto a really busy undivided multi-lane highway. Turn right then make a U-turn, people. It is much quicker than waiting for a hole across all 4 or more lanes.

Dr. J.; Okay, this is off-topic, but I don’t see yet where you’ve addressed this issue lately, and frankly it’s scaring the crap out of me. ACORN. I can put up with anything – the loss of my carefully-hoarded, yet amusingly minute, retirement funds, my house value plunging, my 23 year old daughter voting for Obama, even the loss of the election – but the theft of said election , on the massive scale we’re just starting to hear about, is more than I can shrug off.
Question for your tuned-in and turned -on readers.; who, exactly, put the ACORN earmark in the recently-passed bailout legislation? I know it was ultimately pulled, but who pasted it on in the first place? Anyone? JG?
Comment by urthshu on 10/9 @ 5:18 pm #
Yeah, Jenny, I get you. ACORN is criminal and needs to be disbanded. We also need to resurrect the idea that one shouldn’t aid or abet politicians in the course of an election. I bet ACORN is behind all the pit bull laws b/c the folks what gave it serious thought sicked their dogs on ‘em.

What the metaphor is:
Typical liberal; trying to be demonstratively pious, in a social justice and act-globally kind of way; and do-gooding by making sure that everyone else is doing what she thinks is right. Of course, that is only until it no longer benefits her; then it becomes the hell with all that stuff, I’m gettin’ mine. And in doing so, she doomed all of those that she forced to tow the line to be held back by her previously espoused policy…
So it will be with lord O! and his cohort of liberal fascists. While they’ll be tellin’ all of us to conserve, and suffer for the greater good, they’ll be jetting around on private planes to Hollywood limousine Liberal parties eating caviar and drinking Krystal; being served by regular folks working their third job just to have some take home after they’re taxed to death to pay for socialized medicine for illegal aliens, and so that the Boyz in da Hood can spend more quality time with Boo-Boo after they get home from their O!-Force neigborhood vigilante training…

The house of cards is primarily because of government interference… the excesses of Fannie/Freddie fueled this forest fire.

Indeed, he wants to nationalize healthcare and expand Federal education.

I’m sorry but Darleen has a strong point here. It only seems like a conspiracy, because as much as some of the fat-cats fortunes have declined, they still have a few mil here and there; at least they got that goin’ for them…
And, O! is gettin’ ready to go all Herbert Hoover on our asses. It’s just that schools have been busy teaching social justice fluff for so long, instead of like, history, math, reading, economics, etc., and stuff, that a great number of folks are too knuckle-headed to realize it; especially the doofus talking heads in the MSM…
Most of those dopes are too gob-smacked by the historic nature of O!s candidacy to actually consider what his proposals would do to the economy. The absolutely delicious irony, if we were only talking about fictional literature here, is that the meltdown of the economy, which was driven, aided, and abetted by his ideological compatriots, is in large part the very thing that may get him elected (God forbid!); and he will only eff it up more by his espoused policies!
Best Wishes,
Bob

There two ways to look at this thing.
6 months ago I sold off a chunk of my Perot Systems stock and bought into 4 other companies–diversifying. All of those investments are today down about 50% of what I paid for them then. In a few days I get some more Perot Systems stock and I plan to sell off some more and buy some more stock–probably in one or two other companies.
Why am I buying stock? Because it’s cheap. And I’m buying into businesses that are well established and not going to disintegrate.
There’s always an opportunity.

The analogy seems to be this: the character trait that disposes this woman to follow signposts telling her precisely how to drive rather than use her judgment to determine when it’s appropriate to go over the speed limit also dispose her to conform to blindly follow the directives to support Obama. Furthermore, her position in society (evidenced and manifested by the Audi SUV)will allow her to escape the inevitable traffic jam that her mindless conformity will inevitably produce. In otherwords: good luck to all us shmucks who are going to be stuck with Universal Medicare, while the truly rich can pay under the table to opt out of bureaucrat rationed medical treatment!
