That reading was so prescient...and when one knows that the readings are settled years in advance, it makes one think.

#499, I knew you would see it my way. He HE He. I should have put a caveat at the beginning that it may sound like Male Bashing,but most of the Owners and editors of these DBM Businesses are Males. Like Pinch,Punch,Poke,Puke, Sulzberger. I rest my case.

495 & 502 - I thought you were working up some lyrics for a future Dixie Chicks song. But if they recorded it, no one would hear it. (ala tree falls in desolate forest...)

For we all take over jobs in our careers that someone else once did, right? SOMEONE held your job before you is what I'm saying here. I agree with and understand your post but (you knew there had to be a "but") I created the job I have now, for all practical purposes for all of the world's companies. There always has to be someone who was first at everything.
Nearly 30 years ago I was involved with the introduction of the first commercially available pre-assembled personal computer. I spent several years in the bay area selling these things to the folks from Silicone Valley and they would come into my store saying "did you know your machine could do this?" Needless to say I learned a whole pot load.
I built the computer center for the UCSF, SF State and City College of SF, among others. I helped each of those schools create their first PC courses. I sold a complete personal computer, in a box, in exchange for actual money, three months before Apple delivered their first pre-assembled machine. And then I moved into corporate America.
When I started there was no one else in the Fortune 100 doing what I was doing. I was hired to be "the PC guy" for a Fortune 50 company without much direct knowledge of the IBM PC, which was just being introduced and adopted by major companies. A few months later I attended the First IBM Technical Coordinator conference in Dallas, expecting to discover all sorts of knowledge from all of the "experts" about the things I just didn't know yet.
I've never been more frightened in my life. I knew more than anyone there, including the guys from IBM's Boca Raton PC group (there were two, who became friends, who knew more... the guys who first designed and built the things). It was a sobering moment. There wasn't anyone to turn to and learn from. As far as using these things effectively in a large corporation (let alone the technical stuff) I was it. Oh goody!
So, I am the exception that proves your rule. Of course, I'm still basically in that same job, so I don't have 30 years experience... I have one year experience, 30 times (that's my dad's way of putting me in my place).

How interesting! I was the geologist who had to pioneer computer mapping for a Midwestern coal company back in the 70's. When I look back at what we did, I am dumbfounded that any of it worked, and what I do NOW on my home PC is far more complicated!

Agreed. I really like Fred but he's somehow getting really bad information in my opinion.
To: Chuck54
I just watched Britt interview Bolton and ma now watching him take hastert to task, hastert is scared to death! Britt is awesome, the best interviewer I have seen in along time. Was that statement misconstrued or a misstatement says Britt, errr a miststatement says hastert, ol' Denny was peeing in his pants after that.

People don't understand the dynamics of this. Dennis Hastert is a "manager" more than an "advocate" for positions and issues. He has to represent the US House, not just Republicans or conservative issues.
Hastert works as Speaker of the House because he is managing that position and works with every representative on their pet issues. For this reason, it seems to me he has been effective from a managers perspective, if not an advocate of issues that are important to us. He is partisan enough to put Republicans first but he cannot ignore Democrats or their issues.
Representative Hastert will never be Mr. Charisma. As long as he's effective, we should really be happy and not complaining.

Juan wears the flag for those who don't know he's American, cause he doesn't often sound it. With the others, there's not a question. Watching him now. He actually sounds drunk...drunk with power that is!
BTW, Mara is a ditz! blah, blah, blah

He was great, handled Timmy with class. Kinda reminded me of Condi how she handles people without them even knowing it.

Well now you have done it, with all that you just posted I feel like a worthless slug on a wart hog in comparison. I feel so bloody inferior that I think I will go out and eat a pile of dirt, maybe with nasty old ants in it. I feel so worthless now, I may just become a Democrat,even worse I may become a liberal democrat. Oh My,even worse than worse I may actually understand what in the Hell John Kerry,Algore,and Howard Dean are talking about. AGHHHHHHHHH. I am glad I woke up from that nightmare, I better pinch myself to see if I am still a Pubbie. Seriously, we are lucky to have you and your talents that are IMHO unsurpassed in their totality. all this and a quick,sly wit to boot. Thank God you are on our side!

I wish Juan would watch his own performances, like an athlete does. He could not, in fairness, say that he talks sense.

I do think Rush appreciates being respected by those he respects-- that's why I think he was so hurt by the betrayal of guys like Tom Jackson who pretended he was a good guy to his face and tried to get him kicked out behind his back on ESPN (to think I used to like those guys!)...
What bugs me about Fred and the Weekly Standard (I expect this kind of thing from Mort, he's not conservative, he's a mostly sane left-liberal) is that they could profit from engaging with a mind as brilliant and well trained as Rush, just as they profit from engaging with, say, William F. Buckley. If they did, maybe they wouldn't make (giving them the benefit of the doubt)thoughtless comments about income redistribution as easily as they did on BWB (it was about Warren Buffett giving his money to Bill Gates).
Juan was definitely at his worst on O'Reilly with Laura! Between him and that jackass who likened that Hispanic woman to the KKK because she favored legal rather than illegal immigration, Laura must have been this close to reaming them the way she would have on her own show.
