New thread up. My earlier injunction about “oratory” will actually be enforced from now on.

I think Ron should take heed, there’s a condition, now formally known as ‘death by blogging’.

Ron

A change of tack. I agree with what Obama said about rednecks taking refuge against a world that treats them with disdain by retreating into religion, gun, xenophobia and general ignorance. I would have said they were “pis*ed off” rather than bitter. The same thing happened, and is happening, in the ME where disaffected Muslims felt betrayed by the excesses of their oil-rich leaders.

The argument is a bit simplistic but it is hard to make sense of complex phenomena without some simplification. What is it about the argument that you disagree with so strongly?

“Anyone read any good polls lately?”

Nothing we don’t know about already, old son, but one has observed how you like to quantify your hobby/addiction. These people are never a gee-up.
In Gallup We Trust.

“PRINCETON, NJ — Gallup’s daily update on consumer perceptions of the economy finds 86% of Americans saying economic conditions are getting worse, and 43% rating current conditions as “poor.” Both measures are one percentage point off the most negative in Gallup Poll Daily tracking this year.”
