Here we go again
Hieb, it is magnificent to see you still blogging away on this website. As you know from my emails, I have not been silent on these issues either. But I wish I had posted more here. It will be good to talk again.
Yes, they were saying "Drill, Baby Drill." Yes, Palin did say that all Obama wants to do to the terrorists is read them their rights. Yes, Guliani said that the phrase "Islamic Terrorist" is a put down to "Terrorist." Yes, they did show a 911 tribute film that only showed pictures of 911 ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNx22TH7FfU ). And yes, they are leading in the poles. People are actually gobbling up this stuff--apparently. What are we coming to? Or are we already there?
