Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers).

This site is dedicated to presenting what we have come to call the Wakefield Doctrine. A ‘homepsun’ theory of personality, the Doctrine (as it is often truncated in name) offers a unique, useful and fun way to look at the behavior of the people in our lives. Sometimes referred to as a ‘theory of personality’, the Wakefield Doctrine is more of a ‘shorthand’, a codex quare infernum sunt sicut agens,  if you will, that has evolved over 20 or 30 years of observation of the human condition.

Here at the Doctrine, composed as we are of a number of… highly disparate personalities ( …hey he called us disparate…whats dat mean…bet its somethin dirty…) as often as we butt heads over means and methods employed to present this theory of personality, we nevertheless remain  inextricably bound by the truth of this thing of  ours, in that we all share in the traits of the three forms, clarks, scotts and rogers and it is only the preponderance of one (set of traits) over the other that causes one person to smile sweetly and invite the other to a false level of intimacy while a minute later another (of us) is capable of pushing away the group and ingratiating themselves into a group that had heretofore been reviled.

Go figure.

What I started to say, we are always trying to move on, grow and develop. So for the fun of it…lets try to be Mel!!¹

Fox Sports chairman calls for shorter NASCAR races

 

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Fox Sports chairman David Hill believes NASCAR races need to be shortened to fit into a three-hour broadcast window.

Hill said Monday night the length of races — many stretch well into a fourth hour — is one of the problems that’s contributed to NASCAR’s sinking television ratings.

“I think the racing is far too long,” Hill said during Charlotte Motor Speedway’s annual media tour. “There is more diversion, more opportunities for stuff than any other time in man’s history.”

Hill said the ideal for Fox would be a four-hour broadcast window, with 40 minutes of pre-race coverage and 20 minutes of post-race coverage. Asked if he’d push NASCAR to shorten any of its races, Hill didn’t miss a beat.

“NASCAR doesn’t negotiate,” he deadpanned.

…Hostage Negotiators were flown to Charlotte as satellite photos indicated a dramatic increase in the traffic heading into the city. “Mostly F10s and quite a few Camaros”, remarked imagery specialists, when asked about what the photos indicated. Tent cites have begun to spring up in the suburbs around this  city often described as the  “Mecca of race car drivin and such”  In Washington, the White House (…”thats right! it’s call the White House and it always has been called that, so shut up!”…) announced yesterday that is is monitoring the situation, but plans no action at the present time. When one reporter asked, “Will President Obama go there to speak to the NASCAR-istas?” the terse reply was,  “yeah, right!”

Well, that was…fun…kind of interesting.
Mel, dude! Hats off with the topical Posts…they lot harder than they look. Not only do you have to take the time to find a story, then you got to clip it from the source (like boning a fish, leave it looking like the original, minus it’s structure!). Then,  getting the photos in place, (that took about twenty minutes right there)…and finally, if that were not enough,  you need to write something (quote) original (unquote) something funny has to go after the story!! Like thats gonna happen every other day. Damn.
I think I best be leavin the topical stuff to Mel, the prospect of a future in which I spend my time cutting and pasting news stories from Yahoo News just to get something up here, nah… one day has been quite enough, thank you. Besides, I suspect  that the target demographic for the Wakefield Doctrine is not gonna have Yahoo on their Twitter account. Just a hunch, but given today’s experience trust me when I say, you do not want to spend your excess free time at Yahoo News! You know Fox News? and their whole politico-cultural-reactionistic mindset?   Yahoo makes Fox look like the Berkeley Free Press, (except not as subtle).
