Great diary Norm

I'm not able to put it on the front page due to an un-diagnosed problem at the current time. I am not sure what the Blagojevich is going on with the formatting on this.

Thanks for your well wishes. We are hanging in there. Currently my father in law is at the VA.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

My goodness, what a tempest in a beermug!

Corrupt our fine, professional press corps? How absurd.
Oh wait, I was having a brain lapse, remembering when the media really was professional. What the heck is an "Ed Henry"? Nothing like an Edward R. Murrow, is it?
You actually could probably buy the whole CNN crew for a seven course meal with a nice Chardonnay. Our administration will have improved a lot in about twenty-seven days, but unfortunately there is no improvement in sight for our media. As one of my Left in Alabama buddies likes to say "It's the media we've got, not the media we want".

just pointing out the hypocrisy

in it all. that's all we got.

I'm trying so hard to be good.

I don't really want to point out that Sarah Palin is "Pallin' around with Drug Dealers", you betcha!

I don't want to mention that this born again ( and borin' again and again) Christian Governor hasn't managed to get her pregnant daughter married off yet. It wouldn't bother me if she never got married, but after listening to her preach to all of us for so long, I would have expected her to march them chillun's right down that aisle, with or without the double barrel.

Trooper says it's been going on for awhile. Wonder how long the Gov knew about it. Is that the reason the wedding didn't happen yet?

Anyway, I'm gonna keep on trying not to gloat about their troubles. But no promises.

I totally agree, admin

But I don't believe it was "the office of the President of the United States" that was attacked. I believe it was one weasely little man, who invaded and occupied this man's homeland for no good defensible reason, killing as many as a million innocent civilians in the process. If this were our nation being occupied, how would we react? Probably with Sam Colt instead of Thom McAn.

So the real question is...

...is Holly happy this morning?

i just saw footage of the protestors

asking for the shoe throwers release. on one hand i think he should be released but i don't want to set a precedent for attack on our next President.

thanks for the diary

big help tonight. i'm extremely worn out after a long last few days.

All of them are interesting within reason

Will be interesting to see if a minority is appointed to any of these seats. Auburn gets backlash for not hiring Turner Gill, will be waiting to see what happens to Governor's if they do not appoint one minority Senator.

I agree that there are no Southerners on the ticket. That is why I thought that either Sanford Bishop at Agriculture or Artur Davis to AG, Education or Labor would have been a phenomenal pick. Davis at Education was not really a great fit.

Shoes your weapon!

Letterman says W. hasn't dodged that well since he dodged the Viet Nam War.

I have heard a lot of well-meaning folks say that they are filled with outrage because W. represents the USA and an insult to him is an insult to all of us. I don't buy it. All I felt was embarrassment that we had to depend on an Iraqi to express what a lot of us feel. "The bottom of my shoe to you, George W. Bush"

I am so unworthy to try to fill your shoes, admin...

norm in atmore — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 01:14:20 GMT

but I just posted a (somewhat snark) diary at LIA about the Senate races. If I can figure out how, I will cross post it here to tide folks over until you get through doing something to Holly.

i agree Norm.

that interview is on this page in a clip. good analysis. always glad to have you stop by and offer some insight

It's not his blackness; it's his wife's whiteness.

I heard a very interesting interview today also. Not only did Mrs. Gill's race come up, but so did the whiteness of Mrs. Charlie Strong.
There is a lot I have not liked about my home team, Miami, but they sure got themselves a mighty fine head football coach in Larry Shannon.
I suppose a lot of schools would have passed him by, because of his race, but a lot of schools probably will be watching from the bleachers in a couple of years when he leads the Orange and Green into another National Championship game. I hope Turner Gill is coaching on the other sideline.
And, by the way, am I paranoid to see a connection with how Alabama voted on November 4? Just a thought.
