Though we dont have to even bother to try and think like they do because its all based on organic feelings and emotions.

She says: "A friend of mine works for him and says he's pretty much hated by most of the lefty media"

I was referring to the friend as a co-worker of Jennings.

Sorry if I was not clear - another senior moment. Past my bedtime.

Bud,

With that favorable rendering of 'ol Peatie the weasel, you just painted a BIG target on your username.

You may want to consider getting a new name.

I seem to recall recently (past few days) that some marines found a fair supply of Sarin.

"jennings...(is)...pretty much hated by most of the lefty media..."

If true, it's only because he has managed to achieve success without having a graduate degree from one of their high-brow colleges. That has to really rankle them.

“What we don’t realize is that there’s a huge segment of the country that doesn’t think like us,” states one well-coifed anchor, his voice dripping with derision and condescension. “We can never understand the people who like their guns and their pick-up trucks and their Nascar.”

Here is some of that 'huge segment of the country that doesn’t think like us'. Looks alot like most of the people that I know.

Hmm...throw in a J.C. Whitney catalog store and I think we gotta deal.

I'd rather see a Cabella's. :-)

You throw in a Cabela's outlet, and I'll personally run the grader across that sucker.

Damn beat me to it.

Reading this post, I was reminded of a quote I read on an office wall. It took some searching but I found it:

The society which scorns excellence in plumbing as a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exaulted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy...neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water.

John W. Gardner (1912 - )

Replace "philosophy" with punditry (or journalism or media stardom) and "plumbing" with almost any blue-collar occupation, and you get the gist of what Marr is trying to say.

The elites have nothing but contempt for those that labor to feed and clothe them, light their homes, repair their appliances and deal with their wastes.

I saved that diatribe by Matthews. He will be getting a full-blown, right-wing, "believer" analysis this weekend. These people are so arrogant that we need to define the word.

Well, NASCAR, something I can't figure out either. Reminds me a lot of the junk car racing they used to do down at the figure 8 track SW of the Harvester plant.

Otherwise, the media elites have absolutely no excuse for losing contact with the people they want to watch them.

I noted you said that,

However, it seems that you said ""28 - " I think he's the only MSM voice I vaguely trust."
