I had an argument yesterday with a guy who loved the movie “AVATAR”.

He insisted on loving it, even after I explained the gnomic bias towards reincarnation and environmentalism vs. capitalism and freedom.

I blame my morning bleariness on watching most of the filibuster until the wee hours.

Ronald Reagan, smart and gnomic
On Freedom and matters economic

His “Shining city on a hill”
Always gave me such a thrill

Ronnie was truly “the cat’s pajamas”
Worth a million Barack Obamas

Bill O’Reilly is partial to gnomics — the pithier the better.

BTW, there was nothing gnomic about Rand Paul’s 13 hour rant yesterday. Don’t think that I disagree at all because I used the word rant. I loved every minute of it, but it was NOT pithy.

Hadn’t watched Oreilly in awhile, basically since hockey started back up. But i saw something on Twitter yesterday about the blowup he had with Colmes, i watched that vid and then watched the show last night. Mr. O has finally climbed on board. His talking points last night started with stating that Obama’s primary objective is to destroy the Republican party even if it means destroying the country in the process. His interaction with Dennis Miller was pretty sobering. Dennis said you are late to this particular party, Billy. He measured his words carefully but said that he didn’t think Obama was as nice or as smart as Bill had given him credit for originally.

Gnomic

Gnomic refers to the little men that herd gnus in Gnome, Alaska.

And he ignored the filibuster and reporting on it, so I heard. I refuse to watch that blowhard. A for you.

How’s this for pithy.

For the first time in my adult life, I’m proud of the Senate.

Go Rand Go.

He’s worked from home all week but is going to go in today, so he must be feeling better. I’ve been told that my nursing skills are those of Nurse Ratched....

Meanwhile, one of my senators went out to dinner with the moron. I haven’t liked that guy from day one and he reinforces my belief regularly.
