Good morning,

Need some good info on what is happening in Colorado.

Sounds like chaos.

[rodguy911]

Yeah its something to watch.

I watched most of the Tony Blair interview with I'm so Poor on ABC without anyone in particular doing the hosting job, and I'm probably as confused about Blair as I was before the interview.

This guy can not be pigeonholed as either lib or a conservative,he's really neither.

On the one hand he supported us when we needed it during Iraq and seemed to understand why we needed at least one ally in the mid- east beside Israel,what a tyrant Sadaam was and why he had to go.

But on the other hand he condones global warming and Bubba which is beyond the pale.

Hes a confusing but likable sort of guy.

Speaking of mosques:

I recently applied for a building permit for a new house.

It was going to be 100 ft tall and 400 ft wide with 9 turrets at various heights and windows all over the place and a loud outside entertainment sound system. It would have parking for 200 cars and I was going to paint it snot green with pink trim.

The City Council told me to go to hell.

So I sent in the application again; but this time I called it a Mosque.

Work starts on Monday...

They’ll sleep in on this election.

I hope you're right. Conservatives on the other hand can't wait for the elections.

[rodguy911]

Truth is I believe our plan comes out in a few weeks.

[onyx]

Right. She’s not acting. I stand happily corrected.

Palin waited until very late in the Alaska race to endorse and it had a huge last minute surge effect for Miller that probably is what put him over the top. Hopefully Palin is doing the same here.

Do you think Palin’s endorsement would help Christine in Delaware?

[RichInOC]

Good Lord. That thing looks like they decided to turn the Planet Hollywood in Vegas back into the Aladdin.

[Son House]

[MNJohnnie]

When is the Primary in Delaware?

[rodguy911]

You can sorta tell that the talking heads over at CNBC have been given the word from GE not to tell the truth about zero or you would be hearing a completely different story.

Anyone who watches these three in the am gets the picture that there is a lot of hold back going on due to the politics of the net.

I think GE would be lot happier if there were two MSNBC's rather than just one.

[Carley]

My major concern is that these late primaries hurt our troops. They have a long wait for the ballots since the late primaries are used as an excuse to delay their ballots.

[Son House]

they only want to punish the other rich people since they are true socialists.

And they've already got their nest egg. Of course, the gullible will follow

[rodguy911]

Wow that’s a shame, I’m sorry there is no endorsement by Sarah.

[rodguy911]

Good to see you bud, lots going on today. It cooled off here this week. Got all the way down to 79 for a few hours.

[Chuck54]

That’s funny. Would be a likely scenario too.

[onyx]

I think Juan has gone racial. It started with the Tea Parties and his ugly comments. I posted a thread about it: Juan Williams: 'Don't Tread on Me' Flags are 'Timothy McVeigh' Imagery.

[Carley]

Rarely do you get one bit of truth from anyone on CNBC.

What a disgrace. There was a report that early on they held a meeting with the on air personalities and ordered them NOT to criticize Obama.

One of the things I like about the USA Network shows is that most of them (at least the ones I like) do a pretty good job of avoiding political/ideological propaganda and preachiness. The producers and writers seem to understand that their job is just to entertain.

It will be interesting to see if Covert Affairs can avoid that. The show's creator is the guy who did the Bourne Trilogy movies. If Matt Damon suddenly shows up in a storyline it might be a red flag... /g

On the other hand, last season an episode of Burn Notice featured a copy of Freeper Travis McGee's book Domestic Enemies: The Reconquista as a prop on Michael Weston's coffee table. It seems that patriotic Americans might actually have some friends in the "vast wasteland" of TV... /g

Denver got down to the high 40s overnight last week. So there!!! LOL
