…there is nothing that is more likely to counter the image of the Democrats corruption and back room deals than a single republican blocking the ENTIRE batch of nominees over earmarks.

Way to go Shelby, way to put republicans on the defensive and giving the democrats and the media a lifeline. This is a great example of the bi-partisan nature of the Washington culture.

Hey Rick Barber forget running for Ala 3. Get yourself into Shelby’s seat ASAP.

Zombieland: Amazon Review

My review of the Movie Zombieland is available at Amazon.com here.

If you have to choose one Zombie/Vampire movie out of the junk coming out these days this is it.

Type: Adjective Phrase

Accepted meaning
: when a person, team, army or other group loses a confrontation, and yet achieves some other moral gain.

Actual meaning:: Defeat!

Purpose of accepted meaning: To convince one’s self and or others that you have not lost by losing.

Results of said purpose:
Either self delusion or inspiration.

Commentary:

If a person claims a Moral victory they are basically trying to assuage the effects of an actual defeat. This method can be used constructively; I.E: To rally troops or groups to continue to fight in a long campaign or to keep a team motivated for the next game or an ongoing campaign (losing a battle winning the war).

It is more often than not used to excuse defeat and/or as a method of self congratulation in defeat. When used in this way it is not only delusional but narcissistic. Always be wary of a person using the possibility of a “moral victory” when going into a fight, that tells you they are not there to win.

Be wary of: People soliciting money for the purpose of winning a moral victory
