I was giving an example.

What a ridiculous thing to say, 2 nickels. You are so jealous that I got 2525 AND 3000 that you just can't stand it. I really wonder if I should try too hard for 4000 if you are going to say snide things like this about the most livable city in the history of the universe. 

And the pot smoke is nothing to what I had to endure as a kid -- clouds of DDT and 24D (didn't know about that one, I bet). They all get you high -- but in different ways.

I don't know what in the world I could do with that, Doc. 

Let me see now.... Oh ya: one finger, two fingers, tongues now. I get it. 

BTW, I'm a little confused about just one soft ball -- why would that be? Maybe you only have one, Doc? Or is it Severely? Some of the fake women, maybe? (flownover, the diehards here are all men regardless of the names or female type comments. This is something I established quite a long time ago.)

Now, what can I do with the word "honed?" That will keep me up late tonight I bet.

You scared flownover away. He was blown over. 

Thrilling just to contemplate, isn't it? I mean Rob could be elevated to the hushed corridors of those selfless servants to this nation and the world. The thing I really love about NPR, PBS and the CPB is that these institutions were set up by our government to serve us all.

For example, the MacNeil Lehrer Newshour came into being just to give us the straight dope on the daily occurrences of the most important news event in our nation's history: the Watergate hearings. These hearings were similar in nature and importance to the Continental Congress proceedings which birthed our nation. 

We can't trust our country's coverage of the news to the private, for-profit sector. Profits are all self-serving, whereas non-profits are all selfless and selflessness leads to hushed corridors and hushed tones at the microphone. 

Government: the last best hope of the world. 

Rob Long, join the government and serve your country instead of your narrow self interest.

3636? What a lame number. 2525 -- there's a song about that one!

I got the big ones except for 1 and 2000 -- DocJay the man with no life got those. I'm still a little disappointed in that. But, I should be able to handle 4000. 

Have you heard of Ron Paul? Slavish fandom is to be seen with the Ronbots, don't you think? Maybe you aren't paying attention.

Butters, agreed.

Gary, it might not apply to you. My point is that it does apply to most.

She wasn't really ready for the job -- but it is not a job that needs intellectuals. It needs a competent executive with the right principles and courage.

She may not have been ready -- but, no one should doubt that she was much better prepared than Obama.

Excellent!

Mary, these reasons are so juvenile, aren't they? They seem to not like her and then decide to come up with reasons afterward -- that seems to be why they are so weak. Most of the people on our side agree with her intellectually and on the principles. I think it is just that they know the cool kids won't like them if they say they like her. 

It's always: "Well, I'm not a big fan of hers but...." or 

I liked here until... (the MSM told me not to and started making fun of her and then I realized that, though I agree with her on most things, I just realized that she wasn't up to the job -- it just came to me.) 

Very weird business.

Her "weaknesses" were only discovered when the leftists made her enemy number 1. Up until that point she was a star. Why?

There is simply no substance here, Byron. I just don't think this is a good way to go against a super-star like Sarah Palin. She could really make a difference in this country. This isn't some deep intellectual puzzle -- it's a power play and I simply can't imagine how some aesthetic such as you describe has any bearing on how we proceed when it comes to going after our true enemies. 

Populists! What a trite thing to worry about. Reagan was a great populist. So, was Mrs. Thatcher and even Churchill, really, had his moments in the populist sun esp. in his early years.

No, that's where you're wrong -- the left doesn't make mistakes of this kind -- don't you see that? The type of complaints are garden variety types -- it is their vehemence that is the message. They are certain that they need to destroy her. She scares them. Her 2008 convention speech was rightly seen as a challenge and the left knew it. I knew she was poised to do them damage. Why didn't you? 

They attempted to destroy her personally -- that's another clue for you. The left does not mistake their true enemies -- they fear her.
