Just Peggy Noonan by herself would be enough to enduse nausea.

So I hear bits and pieces.

Or I can pick up O’Reilly.

Anyway, I did agree with Rush on a few issues this past year. But I don’t get him at all on the latest about the racism about the Burris affair. He said, “Reid obviously doesn’t want a Black man in the senate.”

That is just way stupid talk.

So…….Rush goes for the headline, whatever it is for the day.

He’s just an entertainer.

I discovered a nice little walk, warm bath, milk and a pleasant book worked with no bad side effects.

I’m back to the warm milk :=)

“Ambien is categorized in our program as a central nervous system depressant and just the same types of effects that are encountered with alcohol.”

GeoT
I was prescribed Ambien several years ago and took it for a very short time. I got a dose of the less pleasant side effects.
Doctors also have reported a few instances of “sleepdriving,” when Ambien users got out of their bed, into their car, and drove, but were asleep the entire time.

Experts say certain groups are more at risk of dangerous drowsiness — women, people taking high doses of Ambien, and those who combine Ambien with other medications for anxiety, depression or other disorders. “

I heard the commercial for Ambien and they warn about “sleep driving” can you imagine?

I agree, CNN is the only one left that even resembles real news reporting.

so I’ve heard… maybe it just magnifies is natural traits.

new thread…

Now that the election is over I watch CNN or the weather in the morning. I watched Morning Joe during the election on occasion for the opinions, but Joe himself is developing into a real cretin. I saw the torture thing recently and he was a complete ass. He doesn’t even bother listening to opposing viewpoints.

I know one always likes to have an “out” for personal mistakes – the “f” bomb from Joe. But, Ambien really can have some nasty side effects for some.

and

Dr. Jocelyn Elise Crowley (sister of conservative Monica Crowley)

she did name her son “Will”… interesting :=)

He blamed his on air “F You” on Ambien… he’s been extra nasty recently… he’s a big fan of torture and he’s not happy with the plans to outlaw it by Obama.

are you saying George Will and Peggy Noonan are married? I had no idea.

how about some other odd couples in politics? (besides Carville and Matlin)

Campbell Brown of CNN
and
Dan Senor (chief spokesperson for the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq)

Here’s Wiki for George Will:

Will has three children with his first wife, Madeleine. One of these children, Jon, was born in 1972 with Down syndrome, which Will has written about in his column on occasion. [15] [16] In 1991, Will married Mari Maseng, a former Reagan presidential speechwriter and former communications director for Robert Dole. They have one child, a son named David, and live in the Washington D.C. area.

(So his wife *is* a former Reagan speechwriter, just not Peggy Noonan)

Sorry, just had a thought. Obama and Clinton are both excellent lawyers, maybe I should think like one. Clinton ruled out “negotiations” with Hamas. Obama sources say he is prepared to initiate “contacts” with Hamas. Perhaps the way to “square the circle” is to say that low-level contacts with Hamas are not the same as direct, bilateral negotiations?

That must be it

But Clinton was unequivocal in her testimony yesterday about not negotiating with Hamas. In her words, it was an “absolute”: no negotiation until attacks stop, Hamas recognizes Israel’s right to exist etc. No way Hillary is that categorical unless she and Obama explicitly discussed and agreed on that apporach. And that sentiment echoes Obama’s statements during the primary: http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0408/Carter_and_Hamas.html

So now I’m utterly confused.

But… it helps diminish a broad line of attack. It generally makes it much harder for opponents to dismiss him as simply ideological.

Reminds me of his promises to meet with Iran, etc. Critics say such talks would be absurd, because we already know the outcome. Obama says the point of such meetings is not necessarily to persuade enemies to do what we want. The point is that AFTER putting in a good-faith effort to open lines of communication, we’re much better positioned to take necessary steps with clear moral authority and international buy-in.

“In Gaza, the United Nations gave the Israeli army the coordinates of a UN school, and the school was then hit by Israeli tank fire, killing about forty. The UN put flags on emergency vehicles, coordinating the movements of those vehicles with the Israeli military, and the vehicles came under attack, killing emergency workers. The Israeli army evacuated 100 Palestinians to shelter, and then bombed the shelter, killing thirty people.

“Emergency workers have been blocked by the Israeli army from reaching hundreds of injured persons. Today’s Washington Post: 100 survivors rescued in Gaza from roads blocked from Israelis. Relief agencies fear more are trapped, days after neighborhood was shelled.

Isreal bombarded a CEMETARY IN GAZA TODAY.

I’ve seen monstrous attacks and henious terrorist attacks but the viciousness of the israelis is DIABOLICAL.

I have seen enough cowardice and immorality from the leaders of my country that i lost all hope. I hate my gov, both republicans and democrats. I pray to God that JUSTICE BE SERVED FOR THE DEATH of HUNDREDS of innocent people , ICLUDING 400 CHILDREN.
