Should we be calling her Dr. Nads?
« on: November 29, 2012, 06:20:03 PM »

Another one for the official Nads resume.

Nads is really trying to sway my vote for DOTY with this one.

Nads Phd?

How do we turn this place into a think tank?
Democratic Underground started in 2001. For many years it was the Internet's premier cat care forum.

In the last couple of years, we've become one of the best labor, civil rights, taxation and economics resources around...and it's starting to get noticed. There were many mentions of DU in the mainstream media during the election. They're noticing. We have the smartest people, the right side of the issues, and credibility. Pat yourself on the back.

Now we need to go all the way and form a public policy institute. Thinking out loud, we will need:

The first thing is to form research teams led by people with masters degrees in economics, public policy or business administration, or doctorates in things like medicine. Just to pick one name, Aristus is an MD and would be good to head a health policy team. Degrees confer legitimacy - important because many of us are self-educated in our fields of expertise. College doesn't necessarily make you smart; how many hundreds of people learned economics from Arthur Laffer? It does give a veneer of legitimacy.

We would need specific projects to work on.

We would need channels to get our work to the public; Rachel Maddow is one, maybe Joe Scarborough.

Are there any well-spoken, super smart, very beautiful DU women living in LA, New York, Atlanta, or the national capitol region? Like it or not, we have to contend with the reality of getting people on TV: great clothes, great hair and Fox Blonde makeup are now required to get you on.camera. You really think SE Cupp would be on television if she wasn't cute? DU women have so much more to offer, but it's got to be packaged properly. Basically, if you are a brainy head-turner and can get to a broadcast center within an hour let us know.

DU would need a folder to store downloadable position papers...we already have the equipment.

I will do the layouts on the papers we create.

We've got momentum. We have cred. And we're adventurers seeking a new adventure. Who's with me?

Forget the think tank, but drunk tank may work.

The DOTY's race is much like the Oscars. They both save their best stuff for the end of the year.

Funny thing, people with real Masters degrees and PhDs generally expect to be paid for their time, if they are working in their areas of expertise.

DUmmies with graduate degrees are generally too tired after working at McDonald's to be doing a bunch of "think tank" stuff.

This is just a thought. You might want to loose the echo chamber characteristic of the misfits island and allow real discourse.

Real ideas do not occur in a vacuum, that's what I like to call cheer leading.  

Here is another clue, if you make a statement and then look at the crowd and they are all slack jawed and nodding, it's not a "think" tank.

Personally, I like to see pictures of the DUmmies.

When ever obama holds a campaign event, sorta like today, I mostly tune out barry sotero and focus on the folkes behind him.

I don't suppose I really learn anything, it's mostly just morbid curiosity I guess.
