Not super but, not bad either. So - whay would this important person be on a Sunday morning talk show you ask? Wellwellwell, as it turns out, she is working on an AIDS documentary being directed by Alexandra Kerry, the daughter of U.S. Sen. John Kerry. You scratch my back, etc. Also - it looks like she's involved in all the right causes that the MSM can support.
Arnold apologized today because the US' 5% of world population, uses 25% of its oil, with no acknowledgement that we are the world's primary economic engine, or produce food for the world, or lead medical research, or on and on....
On the other hand, alternative energy sources are needed (and will come naturally) as a means of independance from the ME oil crazies.
Sidenote: We kill tens of thousands MORE on our roads annually while striving to use less oil. Why? lighter, less safe vehicles.
Thanks will go and look
Great point that bears repeating. The USA produces and creates the most food, technology and world wide wealth from our energy use, and this is the thanks we get for it.
I'm afraid you are right.
I know there was a thread that was started, asking for comments about Fox that would be printed out and sent to Fox, but I can't find it right now.
I am watching tapes of Rush Limbaugh TV shows instead of today's offerings.
Just finished watching an ABC Special titled "Whitewater: Overplayed or Underplayed" hosted by Ted Koppel, with Rush and James Carville as some of the panelists. Somehow it is nostalgic to review those days of the Gay Nineties.
Some moderate Republicans win in some areas but I don't think that's the rule.
Instead of moderate Republicans leaning right for votes, maybe we need conservative Republicans who are willing to lean to the middle on occasion to get votes. Too many "moderate" Republicans sound like Democrats and don't do well in debates with Democrats because they are too liberal.
Well, I am going to go get some more Christmas decorations put up. I will check in on the thread later.
The USA produces and creates the most food, technology and world wide wealth from our energy use, and this is the thanks we get for it.

This is also why mathematical measures of our "trade deficit" do not depict reality. There is no way to put a monetary value on so much of what we "esport." Yet the raw numbers of cargo shipments in and out of our country are deemed to be the bottom line.
You are hot today snugs!
Agreed, great point.
I turned on FNS, but turned it right back off. I cannot listen to those 3 idiots.
Bob Woodward coming up on Reliable Sources....don't know if I will be able to sit through it....doesn't sound that interesting by the introduction.
But he brought up a very interesting point. The idea that in a civil war, there are two parties who are able to negotiate, shake hands, and end the hostilities.
Which muzzies hands can we shake? Who do we negotiate with? What concessions and favors are expected of us that will end the violence?
We need to face it. There are none. This is why this war is different from any other war that ever happened. Yes, we left Viet Nam, where there was alot of what some might call guerilla warfare, or Oriental Jihad.
But when we left, the war was over.
This IS a war against a religion. But is is unlike any true religion that ever existed. It is an army disguised as a religion.
OK, just for the hell of it, let me start a religion. Anybody who joins my religion has one obligation. If they see somebody who is not in my religion, their obligation is to kill the nonbelievers.
So how is society at large supposed to deal with it? How is government, which represents the collective right of self defense and protects the rights of people to be peaceful and creative gonna handle it?
If they have any sanity, they should squash me like a bug.
Period.
And all my followers as well.
