I'm sure he gets a little Tofu down as well, in between shots of espresso and etc.

Just imagine how his bathroom smells in the morning.
Nor mine; although, it sure makes for an excellent study on the manufacture of propaganda as well as the manufacturers.
OTOH the village idiots who consume the bullcocka are the same, the gullible haven't changed in centuries. LOL
"It's silly and actually a pathetically flaccid little skirmish the MSM wants to start with the Conservative base."
Correct yet again, the tifecta!!
Now to watch how many 'conservatives' cross over the fine line between common sense & village idiotom, too. LOL
"We just need that syphillis ridden trollop Marueen Dowd to chime in now and make it a full blown cliche."
LOL
Yup, you've the mo down pat my friend.
Simply spot-on. :^)
Sometimes it helps if you clean your registry.
Roanoke is my home town. Even though I left Roanoke County, after I graduated from high school(many, many “moons” ago), I keep tabs on what is going on from my sister. Roanoke has become, according to my sister, an “escapee” destination for people from New York and New Jersey. Could be this Dan Casey comes from that area?. My conservative principles were formulated by growing up in Roanoke County. (You have the Scotch-Irish factor.) I have a complete distrust of government. I do not like the government sticking their noses in my business. I could go on but I think you get the idea. I guess I should end by letting any liberal northerner living in southwest Virginia know, from what I hear, it is better to keep your liberal opinions to yourself. You will never understand the conservative philosophy of southwestern Virginia. People will treat you with politeness, it is the southern way, but look upon you with disdain and keep you at arm’s length. If Mr. Casey thinks his opinion counts, then he has another thought coming. His opinion does not amount to a “hill of beans”.
Casey is a locked-step Democrat errand boy pretending to be a newspaper guy. That also applies to the Editorial Board of that Democrat propaganda sheet.
As soon as opinion rather than facts are reported, it’s safe to assume that the person writing the piece [or stating it on radio or tv] is a liberal media w#ore.
Your list is great as it is. I hadn’t had access to the NY article about Columbia U. [Where have I been?]
Thanks!

Please. Try living near Smith Mountain Lake. The ratio of New Yawkahs to native Virginians is pathetic.
That said, thank goodness many of the escapees are conservatives. Now, if we could just put the liberals on I-81 heading back north, we’d be in good shape!
She sure did, not to mention held public offices up to & including Governor. All of which she did an excellent job AND was a FT mother & wife. No wonder the the sicko deadbeats so despise her.
"The left does’nt know how to pick their battles, they want to fight like my 14 year old about everything."
Good.
Long ago as a wannabe pugilist & later while attaining a 1st Degree BB trainers would always say, "Let'em punch themselves out. Then, go get'em."
Capiche? ;^)
"I really like Sarah, she has poise and grace and a good energy about here."
Amen.
Even if she were the exact opposite, I STH wouldn't be on this forum trying to damage her. That, is the nutz behavior of nutz. LOL
"So she is no William F Buckley, so what who is."
Yet.
The woman has the capacity to do nothing but get better, a lot better; and, she's already damned good now, as it is.
"She is genuine and besides who ever insulted someone into thinking the way you do. I mean I know the template, make her look stupid thereby make ALL conservatives look stupid. What a desperate and flawed stategy to get independents back."
Let's ask Mikey {steele}!
Mikey knows everything. LOL!
Good question, my friend.
I dunno, these days not much seems to make any sense to me, anymore.
Resident Roanoke Times horse’s derrière takes a look at the rules for the Palin book signing on Sunday:
Metro columnist Dan Casey: Take a look at Palin’s rule book
With all the crowd-control and revenue-pumping measures they’re taking, you’d think Ronald Reagan or Elvis or the Pope himself would be attending Sarah Palin’s appearance at a Valley View Mall bookstore Sunday.
Most notable is the wristband system those tricky Barnes & Noble folks have devised to ensure that nobody who doesn’t buy Sarah’s book from their company will get even a chance to schmooze with Palin the Great.
It’s worse than what you have to go through to buy beer at a Salem Red Sox game, you know?
Below are the Barnes & Noble “rules,” followed by a handy translation from yours truly.
The company says, “We are expecting a very large crowd for this book signing, and in order to accommodate as many people as possible, we ask that you note the following:”
* Line passes/wristbands will be handed out on a first-come, first-served basis beginning at 6 a.m. Sunday. Translation: Get your butt out of bed early if you want to see Sarah.
* You must be present in order to get a line pass/wristband. Translation: You can’t get one the day before, so skip church!
* You must present your ORIGINAL Barnes & Nobel or bn.com receipt for “Going Rogue” in order to get a line pass/wristband. Translation: Tickets for Sarah’s appearance are $17 plus change (and tax). You cannot bring your receipt from Walmart, where the book costs $14.50. So don’t even try, cheapskates!
* One line pass/wristband will be issued per person. Translation: If you’ve purchased two copies and a friend wants to come along, make sure you get separate receipts.
* A maximum of two copies of “Going Rogue” will be signed per person. Translation: Please buy more, but don’t expect much, OK? Her hands will already be aching from the Rochester, N.Y., signing Saturday night.
* No memorabilia will be signed — only the book, “Going Rogue.” Translation: This is to sell books, you dummy. She will not sign the caribou sausage you brought home from that Alaska cruise but are afraid to eat, so don’t even ask.
* Please make sure a parent or guardian accompanies all minors. Translation: Sarah loves children. She has five, you know? But she doesn’t like them alone — like she is leaving her kids for this book tour.
* No posed photos or personalization of books. Translation: For $17, you think she’s going to let you pose for a picture with her? Or make the effort to scrawl your name? Are you crazy?
* No bags will be allowed through the signing line. Translation: Sarah is so pro-gun that her state allows concealed carry without any sort of permit — but we don’t trust you Virginia gunners.
* Cellphones and cameras will have to be turned off and put away before customers approach the signing table. Translation: For $17, you think she’s going to let you take your own picture of her? You must be a Tea Partier or something.
* A line pass/wristband does not guarantee a signed book or entrance to the event. We will do our best to get as many people through the line as possible. Translation: Even if you buy the book from our company, and show up at 6 a.m., and skip church, and don’t bring a gun, and don’t lose your place in line going to the bathroom, that doesn’t necessarily mean she’s going to sign your copy. Tough!
* Customers with line passes/wristband who leave the line for an extended period of time will have to rejoin it the line at its end, wherever that may be. Translation: Make sure you’ve got a whale of a bladder, or bring a bed pan for your bathroom breaks. Otherwise you’re going to end up at the back of the line somewhere over by Roanoke Regional Airport.
It is the only major newspaper in the area, all of the others are very small local papers that rarely cover major news. Plus, I doubt that their website makes a lot of money for them.
Gee, that makes me glad we sold our lot on Smith Mtn. Lake. Hate to think of all the liberals coming South to ruin the good part of our country.
OMG!
HYSTERICAL!
LOL!
Someone asked if Sarah had a ghost writer. Yes. She wrote it with a woman in CA. who has written several books. However, Sarah (she says) has always kept a diary/journal, so it was not difficult to translate all that information into a book. The thoughts are pure Sarah.
He’s a “metro” columnist for sure...

Sooner or later I will leave this job at The Roanoke Times.
And lately, I’ve been thinking about the future after a long and fun newspaper career. I will go into business for myself. It will be a consumer lending (ahem) store. I’ll call it “Casey’s Rip-off Loans.” The motto will be “The Loan Shark You Will Love.” And our advertising slogan will be, “We cheat you honestly, unlike those other chiselers.”
The pull-quote of all times?
"Sooner or later I will leave this job at The Roanoke Times."
BWWHHHAAAAA!!!
Yea, much sooner than you know bucko.
Ask your publisher. LOL!!
