Tough love. lol
Because I spend way too much time on FR, I have gotten in the habit of weighting certain posters more than others. I know that post was way out there for you and out of "character". Sorry if it came off condescending/rude.
Shep was going into convulsions in his predictions that the world as we know it was ending. The guest he had on was better but not much. Blitzer had Reuel Marc Gerecht, the Director of the Middle East Initiative at the Project for the New American Century, on his show. Mr. Gerecht was quite refreshing in a storm of craziness.
No way did I think you were rude or condescending...I really wasn't kidding when I said you "slapped some sense into me"...
after reading your post, I went back and read mine...and I almost died of embarrassment...oh, well.
Thanks for the kindly slap...I think I have my "back-bone" back!
