He looks like some of the smart ass punks that I threw out of bars on their faces on the concrete. Stupid, cocky and with a big mouth. A wonderful target to crush with brute force.

Pomona has always been an elitist liberal egghead college.

More like scrambled liberal egghead.

It seems that much of the country is reserving their most powerful emotions, either love or hate, for George W. Bush.

That is not true at all, but its not the first time I have heard this. It is in fact the left who gets out of bed in the morning hating-Bush and hating-America. Their hatred is so deep and seething that they view the rest of the country as having the same emotions as themselves. That view is distrorted as most people have quite a pleasant view of the President, but don't rage on like the left.

I know of noone who can fly a combat jet with an IQ as low as what Bush-Haters are espousing this man's intelligence to be.

Bush has "chess player" intelligence. Most ALL of the top business, academic and miltary innovators and mangerial geniuses throughout time have been brutally awkward public speakers. Glib, seamless verbal articulation is not how they're brains are wired. They're big picture guys. Sam Walton, Roberto Gouizera, Jack Welch, Ike, George Marshall, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Rupert Murdoch, Alfred Hitchcock, Howard Hughes ... Ronnie Reagan .... and any of the best military planners, sports managers and coaches, directors, physicists and engineers etc. etc. etc. would stumble, hesitate, halt and almost always repeat themselves answering the third version of the same question.

Jack Welch understood ENOUGH of every part of GE to keep his superstar staff on track. Sam Walton didn't oversee the nuts and bolts of WalMart's innovative POS inventory management and Distribution network ... he knew that the guys managing the stores needed exactly the kind and quantity of stuff customers wanted to buy when they wanted to buy it. To keep them coming back. He articulated his concept JUST FINE to his ops managers, he'd sound like the village idiot if he presented it to an Analyst Conference. Don't ask Jack Welch about Katie Couric's perky personality disintegration or the new filament compounds in his light bulbs. Ask him about his organizational philosophy, his ROI expectations, his overridng goals and his segment performance.

He'll blab about growth and market like a machine, but if asked about particular issues within the Financial, Defense or Appliance sectors ... he'd stammer through the entire ordeal.

Bush is like that. Clinton knew absolutely NOTHING about NOTHING going on. He didn't task his underlings to know NOTHING about NOTHING either. The guy met with his CIA and FBI Executives once every two or three years. He regurgitated factoids fed to him by aides on "ISSUES" that all those effeminate liberal men and manly liberal women just went orgasmagooey for. He knew where Al Qaida was, he knew the Medicare and SSI freight train heading down our track, he understood that Iran, China, North Korea, Energy Disease, Rampant Illegal immigration, Iraqi WMD impertinence, CIA atrophy and the NASDAQ/DotCom meltdowns entailed ... he was just incapable, and disinterested, in DOING ANYTHING about it.

He was too busy being the first Black Female President.

Bush knows what he needs to know to be successful. He's got swarms of overpaid, undersexed D.C. minions to look up minutae. Like he said ... "I get the news without the editorializing."

If you'd ever been to the O Club of a fighter wing on Saturday night about 11:30 in SEA in the 70's, you might rethink that.

We really don't live in an polarized nation. That only happens when democrats succeed in dividing people like they did in the 90's. Can anyone seriously remember Bush ever attacking the left like Klinton attacked his enemies? I wish he would but he is too much a gentleman.

Or watching the perky gals from the afternoon shift at Deja Vu play chess against Garry Kasparov."

Breaking news update: the perky gals HAVE been located at Deja Vu ... no sign of a Russian Grandmaster yet.

Rita Cosby has some "sources" close to the game of chess that say he's been seen playing chess with lapdancers at "Rick's Cabaret"

Mansoor Ijaz says his intelligence sources have Kasparov playing "Mystery Date" with burqua clad elderwomen near his new "Crescent Partnerships" branch office, in what has been revealed by sources to be located in the undisclosed terror harboring towns of EastCentral Southwest location of what could be Iran, in addition this new CRESCENT PARTNERSHIP INVESTMENT/WEALTH SECURITY office is said to be in an area that is a Mountainous Desert of Steppes, Forests, Valleys and Rainforest Tundra.

That's CRESCENT PARTNERSHIPS once again. The Ijaz professionals are using their "Feet on The Ground" intelligence, bolstered by the latest communication technology, to provide all Crescent's European customers the necessary INTEL to WIN the war against the Terror of Investment failure. With declassified offices in London, Brussels, Zurich, Tokyo and Beijing.

Did you ever hear Ted Turner ... back in the early 90s when he wasn't completely psychotic ... try to answer inquiries about the nuances of programming between TBS and TNT? Or, what his plans for the Atlanta Hawks or World Championship Wrestling were?

It was hilarious! He was like one of those Borneo tounge clickers. "Ahhh, phaaaww, my plan, awwwwww, way back ahhhhhh ..."

The answer was of course ... "TURNER BROADCASTING IS ABOUT INVENTING UNNEEDED CHANNELS SO I CAN UNLOAD ALL MY UNWANTED CRAP SPORTS AND COLORIZED MOVIE PROGRAMMING INVENTORY TO FILL 24 HOURS, THEREFORE BULLYING CABLE STATIONS FOR THE BEST PRICE AND CHANNEL POSITIONING TO MAXIMIZE MY ADVERTISING, KEEP CNN A GOLD MINE AND DESTROY RUPERT MURDOCH, THE TEAMS WHO BEAT MY BRAVES IN EVERY WORLD SERIES, THE GUYS WHO CHEATED SAILING, AND ALL THE GUYS, ESPECIALLY SUMMER REDSTONE .... WHO I KNOW ARE SLEEPING WITH JANE!

The guy had a big picture, but he sounded like Gary Bussey after dumping his bike trying to explain how the Wayne Rollins led Atlanta Hawks, the entire library of Francis the Mule colorized romps, a weekly showcasing of Rick Flair hitting Bobby Eaton over the head with a folding chair, and a 24/7 sports channel with no programming and a bikini-less Inga Hammond provided value combined with Time Warner's suite of Book Publishers, Weekly Magazines, Movie Studios, Record Companies and Cable Properties.

Gerald Levin explained the synergies, the franchise of CNN and the Movie Library. Turner talked about CNN's "reach" and his love of beef jerky and sailor hats or something. But .... Turner TOOK Levin, Time Warner shareholders, AOL shareholders, Worldcom shareholders ...

LOL I soooooo agree with you.
This is why I have always contended, CEO's do not run companies, they formulate ideas and direction. The high paid consultants run coporations.

It's "good to be King". Ted kept Bernard Shaw around, because he was the only person in his news outlets, corporate staff and World aquaintances who babbling incoherence synched perfectly on the exact same incoherent wavelength as his.

Ted loved Bernard just like he always loved ... the other black guys on the Braves, Hawks or all those fun TBS "What's Happenin'" and "Sanford & Son" reruns he owned!

When the Braves played the Twins in the 91 World Series, the Braves Tomahawk Chop became an issue among rabble rousing Native American groups up here. Ted said to a news reporter up here when confronted with the demonstration: "Look, the Braves name has decades of standing ... ahhh ... and .... ahhhh ... it's all fun. It's all fun ahhh ... nobody is getting a scalping out here."

Hmm... a liberal who actually makes observations and applies analysis to his beliefs. Now, there's an endangered species! Here's to hoping he makes the switch soon.

(What's the old adage? Those who do not lean liberal before they turn age 30 have no heart, and those who do not lean conservative after 30 have no brains?)
