I dunno.  Kinda looks like my offices, except for everything shown, that is.   :-)

I imagine it would be tough to get any work done around there, except the cubbies are much bigger than anything I've ever seen.  And clean.

As a transplanted Connecticut Yankee to Hotlanta, I've listened to Neal quite often.  Unfortunately, my commute only lets me listen, for the most part, for the opening 8:30 half hour which is mostly commercials and traffic reports.  But for those times when I've been "on the road" and he's on, he is the true professional. 

He's always known he is an entertainer.  He has to keep the audience listening.  He does both local, national, and international topics.  Usually, you know he has a twinkle in his eye and his voice...until he gets on a rant, and then there's no stopping him.  Pure brilliance.

We will miss him, and it's been a pleasure to have known him during his live broadcasts with his family, Belinda, Royal, Christina, et. al.  He will certainly be missed, but his retirement is well earned.

Herman Cain will be taking his place, and while he's a good host, I'm guessing he won't make it past two years, if that long.   His old evening show has a different audience than mornings.   I wish him well, but he's no Neal Boortz. 

While my parents played symphonic music when I was growing up on the "hi-fi" I never really liked it until I heard Dvorak's Symphony #9 "From the New World" in college.   That opened door wide enough for me to walk through.

Since then, I enjoy the classics immensly.   There are a few pieces I can recognize but I don't know much about them except very rough periods, i.e., Baroque, Classical, Romantic, etc.  It's almost as if "I don't know much about music but I know what I like."   (And dislike...I could never "get" opera and arias and other vocal tracks.)

Having Dennis Prager do something would be wonderful.   Great post, Sabrdance.

Actually, the division of Jerusalem and the West Bank are only armistice lines, not international boundaries, so the only applicable "international law" in play here has to go back to the San Remo resolutions of the 1920s and all that entail down to present day which are the abiding legal documents.

I read somewhere that the altitude shouldn't have had any effect on Obama.  He always worked best when he was high.

Thank you.  I'll be here all week.  Don't forget to try the salmon.

Question: Isn't the DJIA up because there's not many places for people to try to get some savings?  I mean, with interest rates at close to 0%, aren't more folks trying to get a few points on their hard earned dollars by trying the market?   

And I just saw this a moment ago on Instapundit:

"Ratings firm Egan-Jones cut its credit rating on the U.S. government to "AA-" from "AA," citing its opinion that quantitative easing from the Federal Reserve would hurt the U.S. economy and the country's credit quality."

Hit 'em hard.

James, excellent post.  Romney should take the offensive, but he won't as that seems to be against his nature.

Reading this reminded me of the podcast the other day when after Pat Caddell blasted the Romney campaign, Rob, Peter, and James pretty much went back to the "Republican Establishment" of taking it slow and easy, looking at the 980K independent voters in the swing states, blah blah blah.

It's my opinion that Pat was more right than wrong.  It IS Romney's to lose and this week's foreign policy predicaments notwithstanding, this is the type of hitting that the Romney team has to do, and hit hard.

I am bewildered at the complacency of being only a point or three difference here and there in the polls.  With Obama's domestic and foreign policies being what they are, this should be Romney up by 1o points at a minimum.

What's it going to take to wake these guys up.  Who cares what happened with Carter and Reagan or any other race before this.  Each race is new.  

Hit them hard.  Hit them often.  Show 'em what a tough CEO looks like who will look after America.

Growing up Jewish in  Connecticut there was very little chance to meet a Republican, let alone a conservative.  It was reading LGF (yes, in the day) after 9/11 and in the run up to the Iraq war that got my eyes opened.  I saw a lot of craziness I had never seen before (or certainly didn't want to see) manifest itself into a hatred for America that had absolutely no relationship to the liberals I grew up with or the Democratic Party I thought I knew.   As Mamet said, I was a brain-dead liberal.

The first time I pulled the lever for a Republican was in 2004 for W and I have not looked back, much to the chagrin and dismay of my family and friends.  Of course, moving from Connecticut to Georgia may have helped somewhat, too.

Monica - I heard a podcast a few years ago when you were in London and reported for Westwood One.  As an ex-WW1 guy, it put a smile on my face.
(Don't ask me which report, I just heard "Monica Crowley from Westwood One" and was smitten.
Welcome aboard!

Oh, heck, why not?   Beatles or Stones?

A similar thing is happening in our suburban Atlanta county.  We hold our graduations in a very large 'mega church' whose sanctuary holds 6,000+ people.  It's a wonderful venue with full A/V capabilities for streaming graduation ceremonies so out of town relatives can join with us in the happy occasion.

Last year, People for Separation of Church and State (or something like that) came in and tried to stop it.  The Board of Ed. and the county gov't voted to hold it nonetheless as the space made the most sense physically and fiscally.

Even though I'm Jewish, I am very happy that our county has this church and have no problem - nor do both of my kids who walked across the stage/pulpit, by the way - with the venue.  We all hope that these DC agitators stay in DC and don't force what will probably be a very expensive lawsuit.

This goes beyond nuts and it must finally be stopped.  The old saw is still accurate: freedom of religion does not mean freedom from religion.

Thank you for this.  I read it yesterday on PJM.  Well said.   Thoughts such as this are not said enough.

That's a rhetorical question, right?  :-)

Excellent post, and your update on Tomasky is so very telling who the racists are in our society. 

Amen to that.  I've always wondered how that happened.  It's simply astounding.

But then again, why do thoughts of Jeri Ryan keep entering my mind....

Here's why.  'Nuff said.
