Change Is. It is what it is.

The Obama team 2012 has a new slogan for this round, "Change Is".  O is already using this in speeches, he lists his accomplishments using the phrase "Change Is ... Passing the first health care reform in 100 years".

"Change Is" as a bumper sticker slogan is too cute by half in these tough times.  It's also easy to make fun of in simple ways:  "Change isn't", "Change is as change does",  depends on what the definition of "is" is, "Change This".

"Is" is a form of the verb "to be", sounds static.  Like saying it's already finished.

Too slick, lads, back to the brainstorm room with you for another go at a bumper sticker.

Extreme Shakespeare Fan Fiction

Lear's three daughters become weird sisters who tell Hamlet to kill his new uncle, (Hamlet survived his previous wounds), after Hamlet and his long lost twin brother were shipwrecked and had disguised themselves as twin sisters.  They then meet twin sisters disguised as twin brothers, whom they marry, and then the ladies convince them to kill King Duncan, who turns out to be Beatrice in disguise.  The merry farce continues until everybody is dead in Act II, and a whole new group of charactershappen by.  Kate must marry Romeo. so Juliet shipwrecks herself.  Bottom and Falstaff mistake each other for animals, and Oberon gives Richard III a mule head, and in his madness he wanders the heaths in a raging storm that symbolizes Kate's hatred of marriage.  Romeo smothers her with his pillow, and then sleepwalks and tries to wash the blood off his hands in the storm on the heath.  The MacDuff invades and everybody dies again, which leaves Act V with no living characters, but a great cast of ghosts.

An ancient Chinese plate of observed comets. There may have been more comets in the past, as the body whose remnants today are Comet Encke and the various Taurid meteor streams, is estimated from projectories to have contained far more mass when it first entered the solar system ~ 14,000 years ago. All the mass was lost as the gravity of the Sun and the larger planets tugged at the initial body and its components, creating fragments that themselves were pretty big and apparently impacted somewhere - maybe here. Maybe at Saginaw Bay, splattering mountains of glacial slush over the areas where we now see northwest-pointing shallow ovals, which can be miles across, called Carolina Bays (thanks to Google Earth), in the Carolinas and neighboring states and also in midwest, where they point northeast This is not accepted science but great internet speculation. Anyway, note the image at the bottom right, which resembles a notorious political symbol of the 20th century that itself was based on an ancient widespread motif in Eurasian pottery. This image is in fact a head-on view of a comet, a head-on view! This is not something you want to see in the sky. This may be the origin of the notorious political symbol, ironically a symbol of ancient dread, an omen of evil, the portent of an impact event.

I've spent some years mapping the Big Bang background radiation of our culture and after another 5 quintillion observations I will prepare a summary, so don't wait up...
