Political Communication is Massively Important

This post was provoked by my brother's girlfriend's facebook.  She's apparently on the executive committee for the Oklahoma City Slut Walk.  I think the Slut Walk is a stupid idea, and I will explain why.  WARNING: if you are not interested in a deeply intellectual exercise, do not read on.  If you accuse me of being regressive, or having mala fides, or hating women, I will ignore you.  I live and breathe politics.  Mastery of communication is a job requirement for me.  I know what I'm talking about.  Engage this discussion seriously, or not at all.

I'm back, for now.

Giant h/t to Stacy McCain, who some day may throw me some rule 2 love.  Probably not. I should write more.

So, let's talk about the disastrous Republican Primary, because honestly Canadian politics is never less exciting than when we have a majority government (with a strong mandate, so the MTV voters can shut up).  I had a conversation with my father about how Mitt Romney would be smart to pick Santorum as VP, and another conversation with my buddy Cezary over what the Republican party needs to do to regain some of the momentum they have squandered.
