He reminds me of a friend of mine who used to work for my company. Before he joined us he was in the Ford administration. He's a Human Relations type and his specialty was setting up, staffing and running new organizations during their start up phase. What he did for the Ford administration was to create a little group within the Energy Department called NEST, the Nuclear Emergency Search Team. This is, as you probably know, a bunch of folks who carry geiger counters and guns and are told to assume that someone has planted a nuke, somewhere, so they should go find it.
When he joined our company (long before I did) he was involved in our HR group as a senior executive. He got involved in a couple of very nasty labor disputes where there were literally death threats being hurled back and forth across the negotiating table. My friend was the only calm person in the room and he was asked how he could be so calm. His reply was to ask a question "are their any nukes involved? No? Then we can work this out."
Bolton appearing on the talk shows after having been thrust into the midst of the ongoing UN melt down is like a walk in the park. No big deal. Why should he get tense? <g>
That is one of the funniest two part posts I've ever read.
Bravo!
Why does it bother me that Williams is the only panel member wearing an American Flag lapel pin?
Thank you, snugs. I'm doing fine. And yourself?
You this one time then?
F**k no! Eighteen f***kin' times!
Brilliant bit. You can see it over at Youtube.com. Not for the delicate.
Please post anything good you hear. Thanks.
yep, I have noticed that one of the biggest differences in liberals is their irrational emoting in all things. They do not seem to be able to think objectively regarding any issue. They always take it to a personal level which indicates to me that it's more about "them" and "their winning".
Great story..grin.
Bolton is so well suited for his current position.
Jay Rockefeller invited them over to his... 'hideout'.
He acted like he was such an expert on all things military. Too many of these reporters/columnists/news-readers think they are experts on subjects.

Like Shep Smith opining. A more ridiculous waste of satellite link I have never seen on Fox.
Would it not take an act of Congress, a law, to ban research on embryos?
I did not state that first paragraph but I'll allow it is rhetorical. Thus let me state that I do NOT think that the Prez should outlaw private efforts at fetal stem cell research.
First, it's just plain Un-American to do that although I'd suggest that if the private sector does not take up the cause then perhaps it ISN'T the salvation it's purported to be. Things become less fuzzy when people have to put up their own money for such things.
Second, common sense dictates that such a law (and you're right, congress or state legislators would have to pass a law) would be darn near impossible to enforce. We have enough laws that can't be enforced. What, there will be federal officers stationed outside ever university lab and private medical officers across the fruited plain?
I say let the private sector fund it. They'll go for the easier and more sucessful of the two. They want to make money after all.
Same here. It's what Bahbah called his 'frowny face.' Great description. There's also his pouty mad face, which is what his frowny face turn into when they aren't buying his intimidation. He only gets these faces for conservatives or those who support them.
I went running from the room this morning yelling at Juan..No, the moderator moderates..A pity.
That reminds me...any Rokefeller sightings recently?
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.
How about that stupid Dem resolution that a "special envoy" be sent to the Mideast? Is that a slap in the face of Condi Rice? I really think the guy they want to nominate for the special envoy would be none other than Bill Clinton or some flunky of his.
Also, the other night I watched CNN and they had a woman on there. She's explaining how Hezbollah picks up the trash. Then her little girl came on, cute thing, and she said Hezbollah fixes the desks at her school.
Meanwhile I am screaming, not that I'm proud of this, from across the room...."GET A DAMN GOVERNMENT"!
I mean these people, I type this softly, simply don't have a clue. All across the planet we have governments who pick up trash and fix school desks. ELECTED governments. I am so sorry to be politically incorrect here, but I'm thinking we've got some genetically inferior human beings here.
Come on, we should have GANGS taking over as governments?
Like Tookie's CRYPTS, they should go in to New Jersey, start picking up trash and sponsor softball tournaments? And if the Crypts get a hair up their butt they just lob missilies at whoever offends them?
These Muslims really need to get a clue and I am, an American and sick of their stupid antics, really tired of all the rhetoric that somehow tries to justify this logic. CNN really, really tried but it just isn't resonating.
We're not STUPID out here in la-la land.
