“Watch those learning curves.”

“A my way or the highway drill baby drill plug in the commonsense celebrity.”

“well ... if they can plug in some commonsense solutions ...”

“She did not create any distortion or deception rather she faced this guy down and was shot 4 times. DO NOT take that away from her.
I dare say she and the other cop were both working together; and that is I am sure how they think of it. It is a better story that they were a team. I call them both heros.”

“Yes it is. But the extreme right in this country want to limit a woman's access to birth control equating it with murder. Crazy making.”

“Well, how do you feel about women having access to birth control if they want it?”

“They would bar women access to birth control. To me this is the test.
If the set of politcial positions includes preventing women access to birth control - then every other postion should be viewed in that light.
The extreme right in this country is VERY quiet about that.
Shoes are ok. But birth contol no no no.”

“Blackbird fly.”

“Bruce Springstein's BORN IN THE USA was the lead theme at the 1984 GOP convention - ZERO permission.
Ronald Reagan.

It was a steal good feeling.”

“Bingo!
And to think how many more contributors Rove appointed who are still running things.”

“When you figure out how to get stupid out of politics - patent it.
There will be a vast majority of buyers and I am just counting the Democrats and Independents.”

“Spot on dcjdjay.
One thing - the best dressed ex governor of the great state of Alaska was speaking of Thatcher in Hong Kong. Hong Kong was a part of Great Britten during the Thatcher rule. The audience would all know exactly who Margaret Thatcher was. They might not even remotely agree with anything Thatcher or smiling Sarah Palin said – but that would all be done politely.
And cheerful Sarah Palin will never even remotely know what the nice gentlemen and gentlewomen of Hong Kong think of her remarks. She will be happy as a clam that the check cleared; and of course love the shopping. It is anyone’s guess when they will ask her back for that kind of money.”

“Not typo free today!
Set on all sides by Mainland..
Nego”

“In Memphis we would constantly be picked up for DWI.
Driving while integrated.
And if you were a returning vet against the war - you would definitely have trouble coming at you from the MPD.
You would be both integrated and opposing the war.
Best you leave town.
Support the troops was not a slogan. The troops were black and white and completely integrated with their fellow soldiers and everyone was in the habit of loyalty and standing up.
Best you leave town.
Love it or leave it, that was the slogan.
Jail or exile.
Talk about the personality of cities.
Sure miss that cornbread.”

“Couldn't have said it better myself. You nailed it.”

“You would be nuts to ride your bike in Rio execpt at the beach and in Vienna it is safe but they treat you like a foreign worker. Which I am. Copenhagen is a dream come true for cyclists and you will see people in their 80s gently on their way in the dedicated bike lanes. Everyone is insured. And the rules are simple. If a car and a bicycle collide it is always the cars fault. If a bicycle collides with a pedestrian it is always the cyclists fault always. If a pedestrian is hit by anything it is never their fault. Easy to remember.”

“Where you from man!?!
That is Memphis. If things get rolling and times are high a newcomer who is starting it up will be asked: Where you from man? Memphis, my first 20 were there. There, where was who. Kansas City Red. Memphis Slim. I have a friend whose last name is Palestine, his family generations ago was from there.
My close friend says she is just a fox in a fox hole. The fox hole she speaks of is Hong Kong. Set on all sides my Mainland it is changing now following the handover that took place almost 12 years ago. Hong Kong retains the identity of a special closed world, with the most expensive real estate in all of Asia, and the least corruption.
Rio and New York are my main cities. They are unique in the world and unique to their own nations. Both cities have a magnetism that draws certain persons and repels others. They fulfill their character by constantly refilling. Maybe all cities do, when the people are free. Goldfish grow to the size of their bowls; if we can, we choose ours. Choices are made by either by staying where we are or moving and immersing in the personality of another city. People will tell you that they came to NYC and after 2 weeks they were feeling more at home than anywhere in the world. Copenhagen, Belgrade, Taipei. The very names mark and sound in my body like notes.”

“Feeling that ole time religion.”

“President Obama was Person of the Year 2008.

And again - Beck is on the weekly cover one of 52 - he is not the person of the year 2009.”

“Point taken TruthJusticeFor All but it is just the weekly cover - which is bad enough - not Person of the Year.”

“Choice, what morsels we mortals be”

“Hold on partner - on the weekly cover is not Person of the Year.”

“Some say the moon is made of green cheese; others refer to astronomy. The truth is not in the middle.
Some say the moon landing was faked. The middle ground between that claim and the guy who walked on the moon: is there such a place?
The KKK violently opposed integration. Is there a middle ground on that?
Is the earth 5770 years old? Scripture says one thing, oil reserves say another. Drive your car to church and ask your pastor?
Evolution is denied by those who go to the doctor when they get sick. Medical education confirms evolution. Tuberculosis is incapable of denial or science; all it does is evolve.
America needs to learn to count. Crowds can be counted very accurately. Votes can be counted with supreme accuracy. We can’t count because of politics. Is that courageous America?
I love my country but this wishy-washy somewhere in the middle culture is a travesty. It is slippery and insipid and lacks courage. Home of the brave has no middle ground. Brave people fought for integration and we are not done yet. Brave people went to the moon and work for cures.
A talker an entertainer and newly minted millionaire: Glen Beck. For him to say that the consensus of crowds is not in part his doing is just more entertainment. He will be silent as his money when it comes to the consequences of his rants.”

“I just saw you imagine a group of lefties defending Rev Wright. Who that might be I can't guess but for you they are a prime example of those who don't get it.
Which 15 Americans 2 years ago are you talking about?”

“Why can't America count?”
