Well  I am in good company.

I highly recommend Mo Rocca's blog for his list of Sarah Palin movies (For Adults Only):

Especially on this, the day that the Road to Nowhere opens.

Having said that, there are about 3 or 4 people that this thread could do without as the majority of their posts are superficial and predominately based on cliched insults.

I can think of one or two people whom I find a little judgemental, too.

 On the other hand, some of the cheerleaders are excessively trite in their responses

The thread had personal attacks long before it reached page 300.  I can actually understand how people get heated in the midst of some of these discussions and may even use sarcasm or hyperbole for effect.  Having said that, there are about 3 or 4 people that this thread could do without as the majority of their posts are superficial and predominately based on cliched insults.

In spite of some recent nastiness, this thread remains incredibly civil.  I don't know you Jeff, you only recently started posting here but you seem like a pretty straight shooter welcome, the thread needs that.  As for others here, well I know Jodi, I know Mike and I know Al.  All three generally give others the benefit of the doubt and all three have pretty good hearts.  So lets all step back, catch our breaths and remember that although we disagree sometimes its no reason for nastiness.

I know Jodi and Mike can be passionate in their beliefs and sometimes when people care as much as they do about their country or their beliefs, feelings of anger or frustration can lead to sarcasim.  And lets face it: over the last 8 years people of all political stripes have had a lot to be angry about.  Mike and Jodi are good people and to me their posts, like yours, always have some merit, even if I disagree or I think they've drunk some spiked Kool-Aid.  Give them both another shot.  And Al Cook is good guy too, even for a Canadian.  :o)  Seriously, Al's a good guy who has no qualms admitting when he's wrong and saying so -- something that is very rare on the internet.

So lets all cool it with the rhetoric and attacks and get back to the respectful discussion.

All this bickering ...

You guys should just vote for Dr Horrible as president. It'll be anarchy. That he'll run. And we'll all be better off. Banking crisis? He'd just rob the banks. Because the status is NOT quo, and he's just the guy to fix it.

And if we're really nice, maybe we can get the keys to a shiny new Australia.

(sorry)
