No analysis yet,but links to articles and info about the guests and memes for the week.

Remember to join in on the live thread in the morning posted by Alas Babylon!

How excellent, my friend, and how good to see you.

Your translations of the media “narrative” always make me laugh, and are always spot on.

Amity Shlaes giving some wise advise on Fox right now.

Thanks Phsstpok!

Welcome back!!

Great stuff buddy, hope you are feeling better.
Wonder if this will get any mileage tomorrow. I doubt it.

http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/10/this_could_be_the_game_changer.html

If anyone wants to see a history of the Weather Underground;

Extensive archival material, including, photographs, film footage and FBI documents are interwoven with modern-day interviews to trace the group’s path, from its pitched battles with police on Chicago’s streets, to its bombing of the U.S. Capitol, to its successful endeavor breaking acid-guru Timothy Leary out of prison.

So very, very good to see you back with the P R E V I E W !

Well it (tomorrow morning) looks like a good day to go to sunday school, church, bar-b-q restaurant, home to watch football and then go to the gym. LOL!

I could be wrong. But isn't Ritter a republican.

Terrorist criminals,good stuff Son.

OK Ritter is a dem. I was thinking of the previous guvna who was a republican.

Thanks for the clip!

So many went into education........

Welcome back, and thanks for the PING. I hope everythig is well with you, or getting better. It’s good to see you and your thread are back.

Glad to see you again Phsstpok. It looks like there is a reasonable balance on the shows other than ABC, which is now without a conservative since George Will’s defection.

I’m so glad to see your preview thread back up! :-)

TY, for the background, PHSS.

So good to see you! Hope you’re feeling better and will continually grow healthier each day!!

Best,
SC

Thanks for the update Phsstpok! I’ve missed your excellent analysis - good to hear from you again!
