Yeah, Blue Skies reminds me of one of those old auntie types who find that listing every negative possibility and worrying about every little thing to be just, well, delicious.

Finally, a thread that contains intelligent discourse [well, excepting the boring to-be-expected from a certain fogy old troll].

Jonze, you need to do a bit of research before you blithely or intentionally repeat untrue rumors.

That was my thought too, ohiomeister, that Merkel, through a spokesperson, made such a statement as a favor to the Republicans......maybe this was a return back rub for Bush.

Tankard, I so agree with what you wrote.
On the thread that sparked this latest example of loki tossing a villification bomb, as well as on an earlier thread, in which loki came on, threw a bomb, then left..... I see a pattern of loki [at least recently] behaving like a sniper. Throw out some ugly mean judgment, then scurry away.

***Please note that once loki posted this reader's post, then loki disappeared.***

Here is loki's behavior on NC Steve's post in which loki wrote, "To NC Steve. A big hearty FUCK YOU!" and soon after, loki wrote in response to raider99, "Blow me."
No matter what earnestness and care another put into their comment, loki chose throwing another bomb [and leaving] rather than engaging in discussion.

"loki has become a pathetic troll, running loki fingers down a 'virtual' blackboard.... to give loki some negative jollies before loki sneaks out of the 'room' just as quickly. loki has fallen fast and far." -----
The above is what I wrote on the thread that sparked this one. Reading this post and seeing the pattern continue, I think I was accurate in what I wrote.

Penn teaming up with Karen Hughes???

Hillary should stiff him on the millions she supposedly owes him, and take him to court for breach of contract terms [his Columbia lobbying, etc] and no donor should give to reduce her debt if any of that money would go to Penn.

Penn teaming up with Karen Hughes at his firm tells me that any money making its way to Penn could work its way into supporting Republican causes.

Anyone know if donations to Hillary are limited to paying small vendors? What are the details of the way donations are utilized? Does any of that money go to Penn?

You are so right about when this insanity started.....well before Reagan. That clip is awesome. I gave up any television in my house in 1979, actually. Couldn't stand the noise and hype of commercials, nor the dumbing down of programming.

Was it a freudian slip that you typed 'meme'nt? As if you are trying to promote, from your single example to your sweeping conclusion, a 'meme' about Obama......

Great, Eric. Perhaps TPMEC staying on this topic helped bring about some honesty.

PS, loki......feeling sad for you in your present state, maybe my response will give you another tiny pathetic dose of jollies, since that is all you can muster nowadays.
