My point is...if you genuinely hold someone in high regard...

personally...you will still degrade and make fun of them because that is "your job?"
Perhaps I should have been more clear also. I guess I don't see it that way. I guess I don't call that "high regard." I don't find that genuine.
You, on the other hand, are genuine. My comment was directed at Letterman, not at you. I doubt his sincerity, for the reasons I posted. I don't doubt that you believe him, and that is fine for you...again, I don't mean that you are not genuine. I just don't believe Letterman is.

LOL. High regard. nm
nm
I am genuinely shocked.
No sarcasm here. I don't know how this story missed me, but it did. I googled it and am genuinely shocked at this. Did that liberal MSM cover this angle of Katrina? Because I don't ever remember hearing about it.
Bush really needs a bird flu epidemic in order to silence everyone who disagrees with him. We can't have another terror attack because he has boasted for the last five years that he is the only one who can protect us, so another terror attack would prove he really can't.
What Bush needs is a flu pandemic in the USA. The government already has a huge database of people who disagree with Bush. I wonder how long it will take him to figure out how to restrict the disease to those of us who do.
If you would hold your Dem Congress as responsible as you hold me...
THAT would be progress. lol.
Not so with regard to Canada.
When you have an illness, appts are made for followup (or is it follow up ::rolls eyes::). My four grandparents lived well into their 80s in their own residences and never had the worry of doctor bills sapping their life savings. GF had prostate CA in 1958 and lived 20 more years. Other GF had major cardiac surgery (grafts) and lived 20 more years afterwards. The wait may come with walk in clinics but that is equivalent to U.S.
First ammendment in regard to government
first ammendment in regard to government not interfering with the expression of religion. I would not support that, and would fight just as hard to prevent forced readings of any religous books outside of a religous studys course.
With regard to working through grief sm
I am not favoring either candidate and will still be praying on it this evening. All I can say is when my dear Dad died, I worked right through to the funeral, went to the wake, prepared the ceremony and program, all in his honor. I did this all in his memory and to make him proud of me. I am sure others judged me for it - in fact, I know they did - but in my heart, I was doing all I could to make him proud, buried him in my black dress at 10 AM and was working in my black dress by Noon. People did not see my tears, they did not see that I did not sleep a wink or how hard I prayed that he was in a better place. No matter who you are, we all handle grief differently. I never thought I could be that strong, I will never be sorry I did all I could to give him a beautiful funeral and not break down except in the privacy of my own bedroom. To each his or her own. As I said, I still am not decided - they're both good men who have different agendas. May the best man win, but please don't judge how some grieve, that's too personal, no one knows what pain he is in right now and what his grandmother would have wanted for him tonight, I feel she would want him to fight to the end in her honor. Just my personal opinion. Who am I to judge? It's personal.
Here are a couple of links in regard to Americans traveling to India for surgeries..s/m
If you "Google" "Americans traveling to India for medical care", or the like, there are oodles of articles about this. I pasted two below...

I guess our supreme court doesn't know what it is doing with regard to the BIRTH CERTIFICATE
shoulda allowed Harriet Meyers in there......
high five!
It's a big country - enough sunshine for all of us.
Are you high?
Why don't you blame him for your hemorrhoids while you're at it.
When I was in high school ...
Spanish and French were both offered. They were optional, however. I don't think we should REQUIRE any child to learn a second language. If they want to, fine. And Obama makes the point that most French, Spanish, etc. are bilingual...speaking English AND their native language. Well, duhhh. Of course they do. How else do they cater to American tourists, the lifeblood of several European cities. Or cater to American business. If I moved to France and was going to live there, I would learn French. If Mexicans are going to immigrate and live here, they need to learn English. Where's the rub?
We don't compete with overseas MTs because they are bilingual, trilingual, or multilingual. We complete with them because they will do what we do for a whole lot less money. End of story. Then it has to be run back through American editors to good ENGLISH. Not good INDIAN, FRENCH, SPANISH, et al. Not a real good argument. And I don't know how our children speaking Spanish or French is going to help them unless they plan to move to Spain, Mexico, or France. Last time I checked, speaking Spanish or French did not pay the bills either.
high horse?

Oh, get off your high horse.... I'm sure you
have had nothing to say when McCain and Palin are being kicked about here. Your true colors are showing!
I have to say that I did see a lot of high school age...sm
kids standing behind him at his rally yesterday.
Right, because you are too high on the Obama

Prices were very high
There were no bargins this summer. Everything was very expensive. Cheaper to shop in US.
Still in junior high?
Be gone.
How can you have a high rating without doing anything yet?
Oh, I forgot. Dems + hook + line + sinker = Fauxbama for Prez.
Change, change, change.
Hope, hope, hope.
Bull, bull, bull.
Regressive right = junior high
This was just so highly amusing, I couldn't resist I had to share. I hope it makes you smile, it did me!

mile high stadium
It is a big venue because of the huge number of people who want to be part of the historic event of our first black candidate's acceptance speech. I see it as a defining moment in our history and I am pleased that he wants to include as many as possible. Wish I were there. Still, the flight suit . . .
Were you the bully in high school too?

Don't foget the get'n high part.
Ain't politics grand?
Agreed, The stakes ARE high. nm

High School Politics
So I've kinda realized something lately. The presidential election is very similar to a high school election this time around:
~In high school, you usually have a couple of candidates, but it usually narrows down to two. Usually you have one candidate who will promise the stars and the moon in the form of soda machines, more "senior lunches", more time off, etc. Now we all know full and well that a high school class president can't get these things, but he will say he can. Usually the candidate that can promise the most is the one that wins.
~Don't forget, in high school it's also a popularity contest!
~Oh yeah, and if it's two guys, most of the girls don't care what they say, they just vote on the cutest one.
~90% of the voters never even hear what the candidates have to say. They usually just vote off of what everyone else says or who is their buddy.
~In the end, nothing changes at the school. Still the same amount of vending machines with crappy food, still only get one senior lunch per month, and if anything, you lose a few days off.
Now tell me this doesn't sound at all like what is going on right now?
Better the high horse than the low road....nm
nm
They just want to see us come down from our imperial high horse.
That's all.
I did respect Bush, not in a high-regards, but I did..sm
Everything about Bush's administration was not all bad, but 98% of it was. I did not vote for him for either term, but I did respect him as our country's president. All of the people against President-Elect OBAMA are knocking him before even giving him a chance.
I am thankful for a change. Anything has to be better than what Bush has given us for the last 8 years. People say we are doomed, this country is going down. Bush started that roller coaster ride quite some time ago. President-Elect Obama can now run this country down any more than Bush has already done. Besides, it will take some time to sift through all of the mess that Bush created.
By the way, many have said that Obama will be killed. If no one stepped up to the plate to take first dibbs at Bush for what he has done to this country, Obama will be just fine. He is in God's hands and God will take care of his own.
For once, it would be a great accomplishment if we all came together as Americans instead of being divided, mostly by race. Sad fact is most people are still very prejudice and will never get past the color of one's skin color.
Flying in high style........sm
I realize he already owned the jet, but REALLY!!!!!

High winds - now that's funny
You know I'd still put Athiest in your name. Last I knew it was a free country and we are free to believe whatever we want. I'm not Athiest, but I'm not Christian or any other religion either.
I'm not so much ashamed of my heritage, I'm more ashamed of the ignorant people (like my brother). He's my brother and I love him but I just wish he would think before he speaks.
I am proud our country has come as far as it has in the fact that we can have anyone as a president and color doesn't matter anymore. America has progressed and that is good, but just the way some people portray it that they don't know anything about him, his issues, voting record, what he's going to do for the country, they're just glad a black man is in there, and then to hear Obama talk race all the time. That's when I think to myself....I'm so ashamed. But am sure it will get better.
Thanks for your words. Look forward to those high winds. HA HA HA
You are living in some high a.. place and I wish
the lake front property I sold about a year or so ago had gone per acre what they said yours was worth, oops, lacking $10 it did sell for that much. Am not good with math. The taxes on that were not much, thank goodness because my own home taxes were quite high. Seems like when 1 place comes down (or off) then somewhere else taxes it back on. Close to me in Atlanta last year water restrictions on due to drought- people followed and now the rates for water have gone up.
I think the risk to the hostage is too high...(sm)
to just storm them. France just did that to another one that had French hostages, and one of the hostages was killed during the raid. I really don't want these guys to get away, but if we're talking about the safety of the hostage, maybe the best thing right now is to pay the ransom and then go after them. I don't think they WANT to kill the hostage because then they get no money. Keep in mind, this is a source of income for them -- that's why they do it.
Fox ratings are at an all time high because...(sm)
as we all know, it's hard to look away from a train wreck. 
I think the Simpsons had a big run on ratings like this at one point. That show was also fiction.
Fox ratings are at an all time high because
people are hungry for the truth. You want to believe it is fiction, but the numbers speak for themselves. This is their 9th year and building. Even CNN is 3rd now and fighting back. What do you expect from Immelt and Zucker on MSNBC? Ms. Maddow is really showing her ignorance to say she does not know the purpose of the Tax Day Tea Parties. This is grass-roots America speaking up. I gotta admit, its not nearly as juicy as soap opera using an unwed teen pregnancy to keep the subject off the REAL soap opera that was happening at G20 and tour. That is what was hilarious!
My son is being told in high school
in a lot of his classes that there will not be SS anymore in the near future. SS will be gone.
If it's high you flash it, if it's low you hide it.....sm
like everything else, isn't it?
Yes, we can always hold
more people see through the BS. Bush & Co. certainly are out in full force *catapulting the propaganda* and swiftboating anyone who disagrees, so who knows? Hopefully fewer people will buy it this time.
I'm sure your grandchild is the cutest and smartest!
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
If you hold with J, that should be enough. nm

We should not have to hold him up. He should hold

Well hold onto your hat.....(sm)
because I know of 3 pub senators who are planning to say yea (despite threats from the GOP). LOL.
I heard your most high priestess Cindy S. is saying it
Infantile? High school behavior?
So it's only okay when you do it?
Of course, because it takes high thinking to discuss

The dems are taking the high road?
What little bubble do you live in and what are you smoking? The dems have had dirty ads just as much as the pubs have. The ad showing McCain's face and scares and talking about his health.....WAY uncalled for. The only reason the dems haven't fully attacked Palin and that church was because they want to keep conservative Bible thumpers in their favor. If they attack Palin for that, they lose the Bible thumpers. They aren't taking the high road....they are just trying to keep voters who they normally wouldn't get.
LOL I think that high horse is going to start bucking
and it's a long way to the ground.
*hugs* That's OK. I know tensions are high. I feel the s/m
same way. I am trying not to, though, because we have to make the best of what we have. I just need to stop thinking about it, for today at least. :-)

I wold rather go to the Penisula Hotel and have High Tea!
May I offer you some scones, crumpets, or finger sandwiches?
Next it'll be the centerfold of High Times.
yeeech!
I think it's high time and a good thing
that RINOs finally declare their true party and leave room in the Republican party for true Republicans. And Specter has, in an uncharacteristic moment of honesty (or senility,) illustrated the fact that every politician considers his first duty to be getting re-elected. I hope that Specter gets soundly unpantsed in the next primary - as a Democrat. That would truly put the icing on the cake.
And about Specter, isn't it about time for this guy to retire? He is a great example of the 'senator for life' syndrome.
The Republican party put forth a very poor presidential candidate in 2008. Maybe they learned from that experience and will return to more a conservative party line. So if a few RINOs jump ship here and there, I think that's excellent.
Whoa...hold on there.
This is/was a good board with some good folks. PERHAPS she just hadn't seen these posts.....maybe....hope that's the case.
Otherwise, I agree that it's probably time to boycott this board. I have long been aware of the definite bias of the powers that be. But I still hold out hope for fairness in the long run. And I was banned on the conservative board for calling someone stupid!!!! (which I shouldn't have, I admit).
