Looks like FNS will again make it through the entire roundtable without uttering the words “Fred Thompson”.

Juan hit a new low of denial, when he refused to acknowledge the point Kristol had made about the Hillary ad: Queen Hillary is choosing what to GIVE to her subjects.

I have always thought that her own thoughts would betray her, in her continual use of pathological speech: projection, doublespeak, plain old lying - but to engage a production team to display her innermost thoughts was more than I ever expected from “the smartest woman in the world.”

Here is a link to a must read Petraeus interview by the Weekly standard.

I found that absolutely stunning.

[rodguy911]

Hahahahaha very good!

[rodguy911]

They are hardly shy about what they are doing,truly amazing.

Thanks to Bahbah for judging last week and congratulations to the winners

[A. Morgan]

Good morning :))

[rodguy911]

Good one John!

[rodguy911]

Good catch, its totally by design as well!

We can only hope, who knows what evil?, we can only hope.

[rodguy911]

Great job Bah thanks.

Good morning! A chilly day here.

I see the MTP panel managed to kind of slide over the horribleness of the Mrs. Clinton ad. They did spend an inordinate amount of time on Romney’s MLK comment. Harwood thought it was no big deal and just some political hyperbole, Chuck Todd thinks it’s the end of the world.

[snugs]

We say both Merry Christmas and Happy Chirstmas. Though we tend to say Happy Christmas more.

I think we say Merry Christmas if we include the New Year greeting such as on a card which would read Merry Christmas and Happy New Year or Happy Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.

Strange how traditions are nearly the same but slightly different such as your Christmas Eve is more of a family and feasting than ours but then we get Boxing Day as a second Christmas Day.

Also you tend to refer to Father Christmas as Santa.

[snugs]

Back now

I use a filter to view political items: mentally I reverse the party involved in the situation, to see how the pundits would report it.

If the Hillary/Santa had been a Republican, the words “I’ll give you” would become as infamous as Dan Quayle’s “potatoe.”

[snugs]

Takes all sorts to make this crazy world go round

[rodguy911]

Harwood has got to be the biggest joke NBC ever thought of.
This guy is nothing short of a wannabe tv guy. He wants to be Russert sooooo bad yet can’t even make it on CNBC where he is thrown to the wolves regularly by those who see right through him.

You’re right... and you’re right about IT people in general. After 23 years in the “business” side of Oil and Gas, I recently moved into IT with my company. (chesapeake). I’m the IT liasion to the business. I have the skills to communicate with “regular” people, and the skills to communicate with the IT guys. And you’re right.... most of them are incapable of really working well with normal people. :)

There are aspects of libertarianism that naturally appeal to conservatives...Ron’s tapped into that.
