An e-mail:

Dear Kathryn,

... What do we have to do in order to get this across to the McCain campaign? Can you get ... all the rest of the “word warriors” and “talk titans” to hammer this point home over the next week? Gaffes, no worries, mate! The medias hate for her only solidifies my support. Bring ‘her on, she can’t be worse than Biden. She does not need to cram & prep, let her rip with what she knows. I’m not supporting her database like she’s some sort of Johnny Mnemonic, I am supporting her character & judgment. I want to see her duke it out with media and spin doctors.

Please, please hammer this home!

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Friday, 26 September 2008 23:11 (seventeen years ago)

NONVERBAL COMMUNICATION

In debates, what you don't say is just as important as the bullshit you do say. In 1980, whenever President Jimmy Carter finished a point, Ronald Reagan would pull out that Alzheimery and condescending "heh-heh-heh" laugh that translated to "Oh, Jimmy, you fucking naive hillbilly." Al Gore would audibly sigh, and George Bush would spasmodically twitch (not sure if that was a tactic or not).

So John McCain, I have two words of advice for you: Fart... Machine. It's a box that makes fart sounds. Nothing drives an elitist more crazy and fills voting hillbillies with glee like a juicy fart sound whenever people like Barack Obama are talking about "well-funded capitalization." Here are a few more ways to nonverbally communicate that your opponent is an idiot:

AIR WANKING. Eye-rolling is old-timey. Today's hot young debaters pretend they are air-masturbating (or wanking) to show their displeasure with an opponent's argument. And if you really want to drive your point home, do the "oral-sex wank" where you wank toward your mouth while jabbing your tongue into your cheek. Joe Biden should try this one behind Sarah Palin's back.

PANTSING. Nothing's funnier during a dry speech about governmental fiscal responsibility than suddenly pulling down your opponent's pants. UNLESS! You do it to John McCain and then yank his shirt over the back of his head. He won't be able to do anything about it... BECAUSE HE CAN'T RAISE HIS ARMS!

what is the difference between a tactic and a strategy?

Hopefully not too much, because I used them largely as synonyms the other day in a paper!

what is the difference between a tactic and a strategy?

a tactic is minimal house on Kompakt, a strategy is hard techno on Warp

― J0hn D., Saturday, 27 September 2008 01:48 (seventeen years ago)

tactic = short term, on the ground measure
strategy = bigger picture goals

I think?

― caek, Saturday, 27 September 2008 01:48 (seventeen years ago)

strategy = get to west coast, somehow

Tactic = how we get there : drive, train, fly

― caek, Saturday, 27 September 2008 01:49 (seventeen years ago)

Tactics = short term
Strategy = long term

A strategy can employ many tactics, etc.

logistics are more important than strategy or tactics, and based on this campaign thus far, one candidate understands that about an order of magnitude better than the other. One guess, it's the guy that didn't run out of money in the primaries.
