When you wrote it, and maybe there were a few posts around the time you wrote this one, I was thinking, man I hope your right, Bob. I was a little surprised by your confidence. Because of course I was worried things would just get worse and worse, you know, the country, and for good. But you were right and a little more so every day.<br /><br />Right about this too:<br />"Of course, others -- the true believers -- will "dig in."<br /><br />I'm seeing that now. I mean, right across the street. And these people will have it very very difficult. I can't see making it more difficult for them to wake up. They need to. We need them to. That's why I don't like those billboards so much. The ones that ridicule them for their vote. On a blog is different. You can ignore a blog, but a billboard on the way to everywhere you have to go, may lead to for some... <br /><br />"So in terms of the future psychic weather, look for a kind of blinding "psychic frenzy" from the left, much of which will be carried out in the dark."<br /><br />So you're likely right about that too. Doesn't sound too pleasant for anybody.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10589423819039764711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-50270770102272584892010-09-12T13:41:43.312-07:002010-09-12T13:41:43.312-07:00Dr. Sanity is a mensch.

We took L to the first pre-season game. He lasted about 15 - 20 minutes before the noise was too much. The speaker systems there are ridiculously loud. Luckily, there's an inside lounge area where it's a lot quieter and we could still watch the game, but it's probably his last one for a few years.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-5662291498564030192010-09-12T10:01:45.909-07:002010-09-12T10:01:45.909-07:00To Gagdad re:

This means that you not only pull for the Skins, but push against the Cowboys, Giants and Eagles. Its a full time job.

I wonder if this is why leftist's always feel the need to tell you how smart they are, and conversely, how dumb their adversaries are? Remember, Carter, Mondale, Clinton (x2), Kerry, and Obama are real smart, but Reagan, Bush (x2), Dole and McCain, are such dullards. I actually agree that Dole and McCain are dullards, but you get my point. Why the desperate need to be seen as smart? Given their track histories, only Billy Clinton ever struck me as smart among the leftist executives. His wife is clearly a plodder. Obama is an absolute moron - thus the constant need for a teleprompter. I honestly never thought anyone could be worse than Carter, but then along came Barak Hussein.<br /><br />How many real serpents really need a teleprompter?Tigtoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03290914498892961024noreply@blogger.com
