Take the forums on Democratic Underground or The Guardian. You'd expect the Liberal Elite to be out in force there. But all you really see are morons who can't reason or think or handle argument.

Well, there's a self-evident mouthful, eh?

I think the Liberal Elite are online somewhere, but the DU Administrators Lounge ain't it. DU is run by people whom, had Gore prevailed, would have been tasked with uploading pictures to the Tipper website, or coming up with snotty graphics in furtherance of the "Ostracize The Boy Scouts" campaign, at best.

As time goes by, I'm almost moved to a semblence of pity for the DU and its dismal minions, in the same way I was moved to pity for Gollum's character in The Two Towers. It's populated primarily by the treasonous and the totally insane (e.g., those who openly hope U.S. troops get nerve-gassed by the Iraqis, or that the Russian Navy will open up with a tactical nuclear weapon on a U.S. aircraft carrier, with no provocation whatsoever), with few-and-far-between beacons of rationale who get routinely consumed, Langolier style, by the general populace. Those who survive the first few mass maulings from their comrades invariably get driven equally insane - I mean, good God, look at poor Will Pitt; the guy self-publishes a vanity press interview with Saddam's whore, and now he fancies himself the liberal P.J. O'Rourke, for Chrissake, despite producing just unbearably wretched prose.

As for the status of Liberal Elites there, I've seen at least a dozen likely candidates get driven away and excoriated as being one of us, merely for offering some rational observation along the lines of "um, I don't really like Bush's tax agenda either, but that doesn't really warrant a comparison to Hitler..." I have to wonder which of these were actually, say, George Mitchell, or Mario Cuomo, or who knows?

Personally, I would love to read an actual Liberal Elite bulletin board, but I imagine you'd have to have attended several $1000/plate dinners before you'd even ear of such a place online, and that it would be secured with biometric (thumb or retina scan) authentication.

"...joke writer for Tom Daschle."

I am sorry but your jokes don't make me laugh. ;-)

Wow ,Thanks. My husband is very supportive, but other than that I have never gotten any type of praise for staying home with the kids.

I am told by most that it should be easier for me since "I don't work", and that "I am lucky my husband makes enough money that I don't have to work". So I was really responding to this thread as a semi- joke to myself. You are very kind !

I love the flat landscape, but that's just me. The sunrises are fantastic. Believe me; you're in God's country (except November thru August);-)

In the early 90's, I used to fly into Ontario occasionally to do support work for plants in Searles Valley. I used to love flying to Ontario and taking the drive through the desert to Ridgecrest.

I had a nightmare rental house in Ridgecrest. Ontario had a beautiful glass terminal build about 4 years ago.
