(Cough) Dick (Cough, Cough) Cheney…

Love your dry humor / phraseology -- just priceless.

Story made it into the Washington Post yesterday, Front page, Style section (below the fold). Certainly agree with the inappropriateness of the interviewer in the way things were (mis)-handled.

Hey, Rich -- Thanks for posting these links. Very informative. I confess to missing much of the Beatles phenomena at the time due to focus on college, marriage and then overseas with the Air Force and Vietnam. Also, it was a sore point with me that early-on The Beatles spouted off with...

Certainly would be interested in knowing in what "direction" Mr. Melchione wished to take the company...

Oh, shoot! I meant 2017! Silly me. And I completely missed this when posting the above…

Well, yeah. Except that a Goldwater (or a Reagan) Conservative is nowhere close to most who seek to lay claim to the Conservative mantle these days. And I just read an article noting that (at least early in his Presidency Kennedy was considered a Conservative. I was also an avid reader of...

Anybody catch the Doonesbury cartoon last Thursday (Nov 21) on this topic? Absolutely hilarious. And sad. http://www.gocomics.com/doonesbury/2013/11/21#.UpPOBKUyFuY

Great words of wisdom, Dave -- thanks for sharing this quote. Been on travel, so late to the party. But I must remark on the relative youthfulness represented here, inasmuch as I was a Freshman in college. My good friend (later killed in Vietnam) stopped me between classes (headed toward...

Gordon, my friend, I fear you are all too correct. Sad situation, indeed.

Just wondering, with all the very knowledgeable critics of the ACA, what is the best solution regarding health care in this Country? Clearly, a fix was needed, as it was bankrupting our Country, and the healthcare industry was reaping obscene profits (something the ACA addressed), but there...

Reminds me of Dick Cheney, the draft-dodger who applied for (and received) at least five deferments: "I had other priorities." Yeah, like not fighting for your Country...

How very, very ironic --almost laughable. Remember the vaunted President Reagan? He of, "Senator, I have no recollection" fame? Now, before anyone gets too far bent out of shape about all this, I think President Obama's comments, in light of current events, are certainly unfortunate. But...

Ah, I think there are some areas of agreement, after all.

"No matter the results"??? If I understand correctly, you seem to be saying you have prejudged and condemned the ACA as a failure, even though time may well prove it to be a roaring success. No way to deal with someone who's mind is firmly made up, and is not open to other points of view, or...

How convenient to have such a selective memory! I guess you fail to remember it was G. Bush (aka "Shrub") who pushed this idea that "elections have consequences" right after the 2004 election. President Obama was merely reminding everyone that if was true for Bush in 2004, it must certainly be...

I think it is fair to say that the real reason beyond all of this nuttiness is that a certain faction (TP) of the Republicans in the House of Representatives is determined to do anything and everything to prevent President Obama from having a successful Presidency. They just decided to pick the...

The author of this very slanted article, Joseph Morris, is a quite interesting fellow: http://www.policyexperts.org/cv/MorrisJoseph.pdf http://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine/Felsenthal-Files/December-2010/Joseph-Morris-Hearing-Officer-in-Rahm-Emanuels-Residency-Challenge/ Seriously, this...

And yet, I am the one accused of rambling...

Steve, I think you nailed it. Nice going.
