Chris LOves Politicks, Glenn. (*With my new, vastly expanded TV I watched rapt this am as Chris 'grilled' some Rep. who is for Obama over Obama's [lack of a] Record. "Name something" [that Obama has accomplished legislatively] Chris kept pressing, interrupting. oooh, Hardball.! If it were me, I would have started with Obama's FISA vote last week ... and worked my way back to Obama'a stance {well documented} on Iraq - and foreign policy in general. REAL accompl;ishments, imho.)I think Chris is retarded in some way.

You don't tug on supermans cape/'ya don't spit in the wind'. Obama may be skinny/wirey, but he IS TOUGH. Glenn:

>"I have no idea whether Obama's transcendent charisma or the historically demonstrated efficacy of low-life right-wing attacks will be more potent..."

I don't give a flying hoot about Obama's 'transcendent charisma.' (& not very much that Hillary is black.) That, and $4.95 will get you coffee at starbucks.

My friends, some straight-talk. It's the War, ______. I don't want to hear about the fucking e-conomy while we are spending ~3 billion$ a Week in Iraq. Or illegal 'aliens', or much of anything else. That just makes me (and Obama) mad.

I've been shot at (& missed). And I'm meaner than a rattlesnake. 'Don't tread on me.'

with abiding love,

bah.

Where did he go to raise the issue? (...are you sure you're not from Applalachia? It's not that far from Brazil?)

Welcome aboard. The Peace Train, toot toot. You don't even need, though it's pretty at times, the etheral, soaring linquistic prose of a ...just for example, william timberman*. At this point, just plain ol'competency would be a step-up, imo. (*imagine what he could do in english!)

REally, how hard can this be?! I can't even find a flag button for sale around here to wear. I've checked. (*& fyi, I moved out of the sparsly populated applachian foothills and, now, live in a big city, too.) Not one flag button for sale, that I could find. wtf, they probably only sell them in washington DC.

On a more serious note, william kristol rote something in the NYT's today. You ought to read it. (*Although I do appreciate your keeping tabs on FOX's 'best political team EVER!) I can't help myself sometimes.

Where was I...o' as bop might say; we must be talking cross-purposes. Glenn shows that dismissing slimy *****-wing attacks is not difficult. No offense, I mean this in the nice, right way.

bah.

I not sure what you just said, but it sounds like english. I like it.

Maybe because Grandma always said I had a long-tongue, too.

:)~

bah.

I'm going to roast weiners with William Timberman by the faint flickers of the furtherest campfire. kumbahya. :@) *tongue firmly in cheek.

'...There's letters seal'd; and my two school-fellows,

Whom I will trust as I will adders fang'd,

They bear the mandate; they must sweep my way,

And marshal me to knavery. Let it work;

For 'tis the sport to have the enginer

Hoist with his own petar; and't shall go hard

But I will delve one yard below their mines,

And blow them at the moon: O, 'tis most sweet,

When in one line two crafts directly meet.

This man shall set me packing.

... Good night, mother.' *William

good night,

bah.

Good. As a general rule, in matters of conflict and aggression between people (any) I think it's incumbant upon the stronger party (in this case, obviously Israel), as a simple matter of fairness and justice, to always maintain the option of peace. Else, the diversity of our species would be permanantly diminished.

It is paradoxial to me that the age in which we live holds so much promise, on the one hand, while the other clings stubbornly to such self-same patterns of destructive behavior.

Indeed, '...so much have aggression and conflict come to characterize our social, economic and religious systems, that many have succumbed to the view that such behavior is intrinsic to human nature and therefore ineradicble.' Indeed, in the case of the Israeli/Palistine conflict this view seems entrenched.

Thus...'on the one hand, people of all nations proclaim not only their readiness but their longing for peace and harmony... On the other, uncritical assent is given to the proposition that human beings are incorrigibly selfish and aggressive and thus incapable of erecting a social system at once progressive and peaceful, dynamic and harmonious, a system giving free play to individual creativity and initiative but based on co-operation and reciprocity.

As the need for peace becomes more urgent, this fundamental contradiction, which hinders its realization, demands a reassessment of the assumptions upon which the commonly held view of mankind's historical predicatment is based. Dispassionately examined, the evidence reveals that such conduct, far from expressing man's true self, represents a distortion of the human spirit. Satisfaction on this point will enable all people to set in motion constructive social forces which, because they are consistent with human nature, will encourage harmony and co-operation instead of war and conflict.

To choose such a course is not to deny humanity's past but to understand it. '

Ot bop's goodcelery; ...we must remember this, a kiss is just a kiss. As time goes by... *i love that singsong

a fond ado,

bah.

ps. In a few days, I will part the clouds and start the heavenly choirs for Barack's next magic act. :@) *tongue still in cheek... but ready to strike at a moments notice, William.
