Let me remind you all that Jimmy Carter pronounced it the same way.
It's a Southern thing.
For another example of the difficulties of Southern speech: Google for "Grizzard" and "Shiite"

No small part of the audacity of those who attacked this country on September 11th, 2001 resulted from the weakness of the Clinton years, when there were only token responses to acts of terrorism against Americans at home and abroad. He's right, but incomplete. The problem goes back beyond Clinton -- it can be laid in some measure on every President back to (at least) Carter. It's doubtful that in the absence of as severe an event as 9/11 that "W" would have been any different.
But 9/11 did happen, and President Bush was the right man at the right time for dealing with it.

But which is worse, that some unpleasant facts come out during a campaign or that someone is allowed to lie his way into the White House, with all our lives in his hands, on the basis of image and spin? As that guy said in "Cruel Intentions," this is the statement where Sowell pounds on Kerry's fanny with the hammer.
Shalom.

Sowell, future secretary of State? Sowell's an economist. I vote for Chairman of the Federal Reserve or Secretary of the Interior.
Shalom.

As soon as I finish
Knowledge and Decisions (only about 75 pages to go) I'm getting
The Vision of the Anointed. And I'll finish that, too, by Christmas. I've checked it out before, but never made much progress.
The library is giving me unlimited renewals, which suggests that I'm the only person in the Greater Charlotte-Mecklenburg area reading Thomas Sowell right now. Maybe that's what's wrong with this whole state!

Yeah, that part of the state is packed with libs-I'm assuming-simply because it's a campus town.
Another recent book by Sowell, "The Quest for Cosmic Justice", is an elaboration upon his earlier work, though I've only read snippets of it, so I can't give you a definitive judgment on that.
Personally, I think that Thomas Sowell is one of the best syndicated columnists/writers out there.
He's definitely someone who's deserving of the encomium scholar.
That's not a statement that can made about most of the nitwits clogging up academe today.

This campaign is actually against Kerry, Edwards, the DNC and the enabling media. They all have to be considered as the opposition, as they are all part of the same power block. I agree. We are fighting in the war of ideas against the DNC and their candidates and WE ARE FIGHTING against our own enabling and agenda driven major network press/newsrooms, personalties and major print media like the NYT.
Our President even acknowledged this in so many words when in his speech on the convention floor last night he spoke of the NYT trashing our work in Germany after WWII, by specifically publishing an article way back then 1946 that we were failing in our 'OCCUPATION.
(My gosh-the left in America was trying to destroy our morale and resolve and damage the spirit of our military even way back then!)
President Bush went on to say they are calling our work in Iraq now an OCCUPATION (as in evil troops taking over another nation for their own benefit!)is being done by the same paper
and he 'wondered' if the same editor of the NYT was still there! (Funny-in a sick sort of way!).
Is the NEW YORK TIMES writing about this reference of our President to their apparently historical MO of trashing our efforts to spread freedom and a democratic system of laws going to REPORT on this?
LOVE OUR PRESIDENT! What a good, good man.
I am so sorry he does not have a worthy challenger to run against this election.

Can you even rely on a Senate record in favor of welfare state spending, at a time when handing out goodies takes a back seat to national security?Had to read this a few times. I think he means it the other way around.
To: faux_hog
yeah-it is disgusting-I remember tom brokaw, his face as he spoke the words, in all seriousness and concern..."Does character
really matter?" to the public during clinton's second campaign.
Will never forget my disgust, and it is the last time I ever watched his nightly news broadcast.
Defending the indefensible has ruined many-many souls sold for the protection of party over the principal of integrity and honor.

If the media were with our president, or even supportive of the concept that removing Saddam was a "good thing," the whole situation in Iraq would already be a lot more stable.
There is a lot of blood on their hands, both of innocent Iraqis and of our troops and contract employees.
Then we actually hear 'rats like Biden and Kennedy criticize this admin for not spending the money appropriated for reconstruction fast enough.The hate-Bush media have no problem spreading that message.
But this convention was so good for content and presentation (and emphasized by the killer-lame performance of Kerry at midnight) that they must all be in a swoon today.

Kerry's record is so bad, it'll fall on it's own!That is why the Bush campaign has not been at all concerned about the "lead in the polls" sKerry has had up to this time. It was certain that when the bulk of Americans started to pay attention to who they really want to be President - in Sep/Oct - that they would not be excited about the most liberal member of the Senate in that position. No reason to expend ammunition until people are actually in range.

Good point.
I'm very optimistic that President Bush will crush Kerry November 2.
The Democrats will wonder why they nominated this guy.

Darn, that is a good idea. Good Marine and fine American, erudite, and very wise. Doctor Sowell would be an extraordinary Secretary of State. If I were able to offer advice to the President I would ask that General Powell take Doctor Sowell under his wing for further training in the Art. When the General thought Dr. Sowell was ready make Doctor Sowell Assistant Secretary of State.
I have high respect for General Powell. The President is one amazing judge of character. This is, of course, why the Dems hate him so.
