If the the question (or validity) in this case is 'can Obama possibly pull it off' agains't McCain - well Now, I think I've already offered 2 to 1 odds on. (*tell Kristol to put up or shut up.$money$)

{So, the NYT is like a family dynasty now. wow. Well, i reckon the ol' grey mare ain't what she used to be, but maybe I can still get something out of her!..., son.}

Otoh, if the question(s) re. NYT/Kristol, are about Iraq's WMDs, Immenient Mushroom clouds, 9/11 terrorists connections ... the reasons for war. Well, those are different questions. Millions have suffered and died because of these questions... and many lives still hang in the balance.

bah.

ps. bop. if it's windy, make me a wind meal, plz.

pps. William. Thank you for the generous words day last. I like you too. Fear not I shain't be joining any Cabals anytime soon - no matter how well versed they are in the fine arts of war ... or love.

...I am, of course, still clinging to cocktailhag. She has my gun. :)

Thats where I used to trade my pelts (and 'saine) for store-bought goods. Dee D. (Hey, a feller can't live on squirrel alone.) They got a Christian School there now, Alice Loyd College I believe, and a four-lane highway (last I was there).

Later on my immediate family moved back toward civilization, close to Hazard/Jackson area. Needless to say, it was a cultural shock. But I got over it.

Then one day, as the story goes, I was shooting at some food, and up through the ground came a bubbling crude on Fox News - so, lickity split, I went and got me a degree or two. (Not to mention swimming pools and a few movie stars. O brother where art thou George Cloony.)

Sorry, Hillary/McCain. HillbilliesforObama.com.

run barack run,

bah.

ps. Don't fret Dee, I am confident Obama won't look past us in the general. Ladies before gentlemen anyway ...It's all over but the cryin.

Except for a grammatical twang' here and there, they are almost Exactly like you. gospel truth. If *you* lived in Appalachia, you would be appalachian, as we Appalachians like to say. Home is where the heart is, i trust you will agree.

Although I am Appalachian, I have been all over the world. All over the world. I am here to tell/ask you (all) there is hardly a whit of difference between you. You are almost identical...under the circumstances..

For example, I once had a large farm in the panhandle of Fl/lower Alabama area. 90% black, poor, Very very poor population demographic. I am telling you, change the color-shade a little (and a few 'twangs) and these people could have been from Whitesburg... prestonsburg, pippa passes, Inez, mousey or w. n.c.. You could hardly tell the difference. LOwer/upper gothem Manhattanites are just like hillbillies too, same hunting and gathering skills. Different environment.

My point is, we all have some thing different in common. For one thing, there's the Bush Adm. (*It just so happans, and I am the very essence of hillbillyism, I am for Barack for many reasons.)

horses mouth,

bah.

As in: cause And effect. That is, the lies (or as Doug Feith said on Daily show; the 'errors') by O'Hanlon et.el. about the justification and reasons for war in Iraq is the cause ...of its effect. What else? It's not like Iraq really posed an imminent WMD, terrorist threat, etc. Lies, errors, misinformation, misjudgements, false intelligence ... whatever, it's still the cause of this war *and* its effects.

I fail to understand how anyone can talk rationally about the war in Iraq (or any war), or what course of strategy (eg. 'surge') should be persured, without acknowledging its initial cause (...much less their personal responsibility for it - and that would include every Dem/Rep who voted for it, Hillary/McCain - and then have the gall to lecture me about Judgement, experience, leadership!) ...And effects.

Astonishingly, there is very little, either in our media or political establishments, that point to the obvious lies/errors (take your pick) as the cause of this war. Much less what to do about it. So, I remain astonished.

Which, of course, is just one reason why I roam these pages, Glenn. ...looking for the missing link

and,

bah.

~ And "now, if you'all will pardon me, I've got to go pour me a tall, cool cocktail", he said with a wolfish grin.

Dang. These people cost more Gov. Spitters girlfriend.

This is just the back-end, Glenn. Part of what they call life-time residual cash flow (*like my home foreclosure program for $39.95, in three easy payments.).

What's the front-end worth? ...if it's worth 50$ mill. on the back-end, I can barely imagine what the front-end is making on this deal. $50 mill. is merely the cogs (cost of goods sold).

Update: McCain has agreed to walk me down the asile but I'm not that easily led. Bizarro.

Notice: all dimocrats who vote for this here immunity deal will get a free electro lux. O Electro! sweep.

working the bugs out,

bah.

+/-bop. Listen. if you want to celebate at a redneck juke joint go go in tu tus, well you better let me handle the reservations. stick close by me. don't wonder off. ok.

...you're my favorite bug bop.

~ i'm off to ol home place.
