Sunday Morning Talk Show Thread 22 October 2006

I am not a Catholic...but even I am disgusted at Pelosi and John Kerry trumpeting their religion....while also touting their DEMOCRAT policies...which include abortion, and even partial-birth abortion.

I do NOT get how that works for them...

...like the passengers of Flight 93....

Those courageous people fought back when their lives depended on it. That's not what I'm talking about. In fact, it's not a subject I like to talk about at all.

Imagine terrorists holding a dozen pre-schoolers on TV with their parents watching from outside. They start killing a toddler every hour---on live TV--- until President Bush meets their demands. Now imagine this happening at dozens of schools around the country. I don't think parents would allow rescuers to storm the school if they thought their children would die in the effort. Those parents and hundreds of thousands of others would be on TV DEMANDING that Bush relent.

THAT's what I was talking about.

Bayfield is growing leaps and bounds, as are areas in Pagosa Springs. As I said, my knowledge of the area is limited but I have met the county chairwoman, Scott the candidate, and a few people around there and they are definitely getting more people involved.

I was there on flag day to witness the aged hippies and some kids from the college protesting in front of the post office. It's been a long time since I've seen such a motley crew. I have to say, my wife and I had a great laugh seeing these people. I don't know who is going to win the election but I will be surprised if La Plata County does not show well.

You are right about Blair...

I think he would be MORE successful if he distanced from Clinton..because I know a lot of conservative admire him, and enjoy his speeches..

But, the don't admire anything about Bubba or listen to his speeches.

It would be a pity for Blair to cut himself off from half of America by tying himself to Clinton.

"Belerophon and tin."

And the name of Baron Munchausen's horse?

Well...Bob Beckel said on Hannity and Colmes a week or so ago...that Steny Hoyer has done a LOT more for black people than Michael Steele will ever do...

And, he got away with it....never heard a complaint about what he said from anyone...even Hannity.

Well, I am a Catholic, and imagine how frosted I was to see a full page ad in our archdiocesan weekly paper from that Dafur group, complete witht he statement to ask President Bush to "stop the genocide."

I threw it in the trash and am trying to figure out who to complain to, other than our bishop.

Well, you got me on that one. I have no idea who his horse was. LOL!

I think Hillary pays people to go to her speeches and cheer at appropriate times.....or sometimes inappropriate times..LOL

I anticipate you will come back with some wave of the hand dismissing Christian persecution in Indonesia,

It exists but it isn't all encompasing.

the fact the Obama was raised a Muslim, and that the sky is blue.

He spent 5-6 years there as a kid. I think you ave some racial bias here to be frank.

"Morons... I've got morons on my team."

I've always really enjoyed Strother Martin. Of course the thing most people know him for is "What we have here is a failure to communicate" from Cool Hand Luke. I really enjoyed what he did in True Grit as the horse trader. His confrontation (which he loses) with Mattie Ross is one of the great two character dialogues on film.

from IMDB

[Mattie is arguing with Col. Stonehill]
Col. G. Stonehill: I'll take it up with my attorney.
Mattie Ross: And I will take it up with mine - Lawyer Daggett. And he will make money and I will make money and your lawyer will make money... and you, Mr. Licensed Auctioneer, you will foot the bill.

[Col. Stonehill is frustrated at Mattie's bargaining]
Col. G. Stonehill: I will pay a total of two hundred dollars to your father's estate when I have in my hand a letter absolving me of all liability from the beginning of the world to date!

Mattie Ross: Now I'm sure you'll find a buyer for those ponies very soon.
Col. G. Stonehill: I have a tentative offer of ten dollars a head from the soapworks at Little Rock.
Mattie Ross: It seems such a shame to render such spirited horseflesh into soap.
Col. G. Stonehill: I'm confident the deal will fall through.

Mattie Ross: Do you know a Marshal Rooster Cogburn?
Col. G. Stonehill: Most people around here have heard of Rooster Cogburn and some people live to regret it. I would not be surprised to learn that he's a relative of yours.

[Mattie returns later to buy a pony from Col. Stonehill]
Col. G. Stonehill: Do you entertain plans of ever leaving this city?
Mattie Ross: Yes, I'm off early tomorrow morning for the Indian nation. Marshal Rooster Cogburn and I are going after the murderer, Tom Chaney.
Col. G. Stonehill: Cogburn. How did you light on that greasy vagabond?
Mattie Ross: They say he has grit. I wanted a man with grit.
Col. G. Stonehill: Well, I suppose he has that. He's a notorious thumper. He's not a man I would care to share a bed with.
Mattie Ross: Nor would I.

and from another source

Col. G. Stonehill: Lawyer Daggett, Lawyer Daggett who is this famous pleader whose name I was happily ignorant of ten minutes ago?
Mattie Ross: Have you ever heard of The Great Arkansas River Vicksburg and Gulf and Steamship Company?
Col. G. Stonehill: I have done business with the G.A.V. & G, yes.
Mattie Ross: Well he's the one who forced them into receivership.
Col. G. Stonehill: Oh

After all that it turns out that Lawyer Daggett is played by the little guy (John Fiedler) from Newhart's psychiatrist show who also did the voice of Piglet in the Winnie the Pooh cartoons.

And Alexander's horse, wasn't that Bucephalus?

Baron Munchausen's horse was named Bucephalus.

Did you get my freepmail? We could drop the first one in right here and we'd stay on the theme.

Most people queried will answer off the top of their head whatever doesn't appear stupid or whatever looks like it will please the pollster.

^^^^^

Something that has been rattling around in my brain for a while, looking for words, became clear yesterday afternoon when another pollster called me.

We know that pollsters "adjust" their polls to reflect demographics, but how do they choose which respondents to keep in the poll and which to discard.

For example, in my age, sex, party, and income category, do they keep my answers in their database, or hope to find another respondent who gives 'better' answers.

I am quite sure that there are more people in my demographic group (retired) answering the phone who might have 20 minutes to spare than in many of the other profiles.

Your question, is indeed on theme, and I will repeat it for everyone else:

What was the name of Robert E. Lee's horse?
