We've seen this movie before, and the current actors in the leading roles are near-dead ringers for the original cast.

Every time Frantzie mentions TV, I buy another plasma and tune it to Al Waheed’s FOX news.

We are a polarized nation. For just about every poll / issue the results teeter on 50%.

Screw the "polls". If they were accurate, we wouldn't have seen but a slight gain for the Republicans in November. What we saw in November was an historic shift right, all across the country.

Go out and talk to people. Look with your own eyes. Don't let these political operators make your observations for you.

[Windflier]

In my personal opinion and from what I hear and see a sizable trend for Alaskans is becoming more Libertarian. They view the weak ineptness of the GOP with disregard as they do truly loath the liberal ideology.

Well, that's heartening. Your observations tell me that the spirit of freedom and independence still burn in the hearts of most Alaskans.

Many of these countries were the results on nothing more than Lord Balfour drawing meaningless lines in the sand in 1926.

Maybe we can divide the region along ethnic lines and set them at each others throats?

[Finny]

Laz, I hope you read that whole post -- I was asking Frantzie to COOL IT and stop calling people who watch TV "idiots."

Thinking about it, I've been pretty much TV-free since I was 19 in 1976 (not 1977 like I said in the post). Frantzie is NEW to this, only about a year into life without TV. He's wanting to shout out to the world and warn everybody; he's too new to the game to realize that it doesn't work.

Thank you. I cannot say there more than a correlation, but it is interesting that he came on the stage to promote the Assassin's Guild as the achievements touted by the Arab League on there website disappeared.

I can guarantee you that the unemployment figure will be worse than that. The official figure may be 15% the unoffical one 20 to 25%.

Everyone says Iran is behind this. I wonder if Putin is behind this? Cui Bono?

It's the economy stupid!

Sadat led his army to their only modern victory, when they nearly defeated the Israelis during the 1973 Yom Kippur War.

His military respected him for that. Then he made peace so they could rest on their laurels, having defeated their own humiliation.

Despite having superior American equipment, an Arab army is still an Arab army, and the word is that any war with Israel would be a Six Hour War.

That said, it is always the best organized who succeed in revolutions, from the Bolsheviks to the Khomeni-ites.

The middle class is always too busy , while the ruffians have time on their hands.

It’s 3:00 am on 0bama’s watch.

We'll have a depression that will make the last two years look like a walk in the park. 30% unemployment, anyone?

I heard today on the radio a list of the places where the oil rigs have gone since 0bama shut down the Gulf for drilling.

0bama has destroyed the economy there, and thrown a spanner in the works to prevent us from drilling our way out of the coming catastrophe.

He won't be able to spin his way out of this.

[happygrl]

I am reminded again of what an extraordinary political leader Sadat became.

Me too.

He is one of a very few leaders in my time that I admire.

mountn man - thanks for the ping.

MindBender26 - I concur with the eval. 25% of Europe’s LNG runs through the Suez canal ... they should be very worried.

The FED has created the mother of all house-of-cards in the US markets and in commodities ... and we are being led by children in the WH.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks MindBender26.

Hey, he wasn’t on the links at Andrews or Belvoir today. He’s sacrificing for the cause. Once he figures out which cause he favors.

[FourPeas]

Did you read the article?? That’s not what he said at all.

[garbanzo]

the horse we bet all our life savings on may be about to drop dead in the backstretch

That's what happens when you bet on the wrong horse. We should have spread the bet around a little.

[MindBender26]

The problem is we spread it around too much. We never should have trained his opposition!
