Anyway, yes - always speak with a person rather than AT one.

The quote - was chillingly beautiful. Where is it from? Also I don't know of Randall Flagg - will have to google these gems of yours - unless you get back to this blog & actually reply.<br />@SJ Of course I'm soooo looking forward to your "A Barry Merry Christmas". Your wit always impresses me.<br />@Colby - your "holiday" titles are terrific! They remind me of song titles by Ray Stevens. His music speaks of integrity or the lack of it.<br />@Gang of 1 - You are so right about the particular choice whether Susan Rice or any other O Drone - with the complicity of the MSM and all others intent on the ultimate destruction of the USA as it was known PO (Pre-Obama).<br />Irene Pedutohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11133961730915924600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-76027726664741186652012-11-29T08:07:42.462-06:002012-11-29T08:07:42.462-06:00@Colby- Last night, I cobbled together the cover o...@Colby- Last night, I cobbled together the cover of "A Barry Merry Christmas" and listed some of your song titles (and a number of my own). It will turn up online when we get a bit closer to Christmas. <br /><br />@SusieBee- Now I desperately want to assemble the <i>Hope n' Change Singers</i>. I wonder if I can find some nice red, white and blue choir robes?<br /><br />@Gang of One- You're sadly correct that it's nearly a moot point who the Secretary of State will be if Obama is still directing our foreign policy. We're hosed whoever he chooses.<br /><br />@queso Grande- Regarding your riddle, I was going to guess Chris Matthews- but your answer is funnier.<br /><br />@graylady- For all the good my announcement of a new schedule has done, I've missed precisely one day so far. Not exactly the new life of leisure and entrepreneurial productivity I was envisioning. But hey, we'll figure it out together.<br /><br />@Anonymous- "Decimate" can also be your tenth spouse.<br /><br />@Necron99- Thanks for the nice words.<br /><br />Regarding talking to Obama supporters, I frankly try <i>not</i> to. It's not just that they lack intelligence - I've got a good friend with Down syndrome and we have long and enjoyable conversations. But Obama's supporters <i>aggressively resist facts and logic</i> and become agitated and angry when you ask them to think. So I'm still working on how to develop the language which will allow me to be one of those "missionaries of enlightenment," though as more Obama supporters lose their health insurance or jobs because of Obamacare, we may finally be able to talk.<br /><br />Finally, you're right of course that all of Obama's appointees will be disastrously bad. It's critical to his self-image that he's always "the smartest man in the room," and that can <i>only</i> be accomplished in a room filled with idiots and synchophants.Stilton Jarlsberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14503164551782304564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-63617742775373871982012-11-29T00:41:03.306-06:002012-11-29T00:41:03.306-06:00@Stilton J, thank you sir for all your efforts! I ...@Stilton J, thank you sir for all your efforts! I will take whatever you deem worthy to give. I would rather receive one weekly brilliantly concise crystallization of the real issues our besieged republic is facing, than none at all. Which by the way is what the MSM gives us..., none at all! That you feel compelled to bestow more than that is only gravy on the meat of your initial publication! Again, I thank you.<br /><br />Irene, Irene, my sweet Irene... (Sorry, I couldn't help paraphrasing Randall Flagg!)<br /><br />Believe me madame, it is an exercise the proportion of the patience of Job when personaly dealing with these benighted 0-drones. We need not continually remind ourselves that these confrontations bear more resemblance to playground argument than actual adult discourse. When faced with having to provide a real answer the 0-drone will invariably fall back to "I know you are, but what am I?" grade school tactics. And so..., as my old philosophy professor used to say, "We must be missionaries of enlightenment. When speaking to the ignorant, first discern their language and then adapt your's to verbage they can understand. Only then may you reach them on a level they may comprehend."<br /><br />And as to any 0 appointments? We all know the parade of stooges, shills, sycophants, obfuscators, hacks, and incompatants that will be offered up. Race or gender is hardly the issue..., ability and integrity..., and dare I say patriotism? Those qualities, are the real issue. And as we have seen, followers of the Prince of Fools distain those higher virtues. As his previous apointees to other high offices have proven, they are more than willing to sacrafice their own dignity in order to rob "We the People" of our's.<br /><br />"There was once a dream that was the United States of America. You could only whisper it. Anything more than a whisper and it would vanish... it was so fragile. And I fear that it will not survive the winter."<br /><br />Necron99noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-67776254581886636452012-11-28T22:07:49.718-06:002012-11-28T22:07:49.718-06:00@rickn8or

I'm hoping that it gets a little traction on the Web.<br /><br />@Pete(Detroit)- I indeed remember Wacky Packets, back when "Wacky" was intended to be funny rather than governmental policy.<br /><br />Regarding the Wednesday post, I realize I'm blowing my credibililty by not sticking to the new, more restrictive schedule. But gosh darn it to blankety-heck, I'm finding it difficult to not take potshots when I think of them. And for that matter, the camaraderie around here is pretty addictive too.<br /><br />Regarding Iran, you're <i>obviously</i> forgetting that Biden said, during the debates, that it doesn't matter <i>how</i> much uranium Iran enriches because creating a delivery vehicle is impossible for them. And gosh, Joe knows <i>everything</i> except for where he is at any given moment, or how to find his way home.<br /><br />@Gang of One- On last night's news, I saw that little crapweasel Jay Carney saying that <i>there's not a single unanswered question on Benghazi.</i> It's one thing to lie for a living, but entirely unacceptable to lie about a matter of such importance.<br /><br />Personally, I'm increasingly leaning to the belief that the "videotape" cover story was knowingly used by the administration as a lie for political reasons- but not just because (or even primarily) to safeguard B. Hussein's claim that he had all but destroyed Al-Qaeda. Rather, there are reports that Obama and the CIA were using Stevens and the Benghazi consulate to <i>give tons of arms to Al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood</i> to use to fight in Syria... and Barry knew that "arming Al-Qaeda" wouldn't help his re-election chances.<br /><br />@Necron99- In complete honesty, I would be unable to come up with <i>even one good thing B. Hussein has done while in office</i> (or any other parts of his life that I'm aware of). The closest to a "good thing" would be the death of bin Laden, but I remain convinced that he didn't make it happen - he and Valerie Jarrett were just unable to stop the final mission.<br /><br />@Colby- As long as conservatives are being called racists anyway, I certainly see no reason to tiptoe around obvious (and non-racial) jokes like "Uncle Benghazi's Rice." And as far as catching hell for calling Obama Santa Claus, I'm almost sure it's the <i>nicest</i> thing I've ever called him...Stilton Jarlsberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14503164551782304564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-28053728584136113002012-11-28T07:03:06.160-06:002012-11-28T07:03:06.160-06:00@Stilton,
