<p>Barack is no Bobby Sherman. That is just ridiculous.</p>
<p>There are surprisingly good articles in RS. My son gets it, but I read it…and enjoy it. And you…a supposed music lover! Better than People magazine any old day!</p>
<p>Spoken like a true groupie.
None of the teenyboppers thought Bobby Sherman was a…well…a Bobby Sherman, back then. Do you have a picture of him (either of them) in your locker? Barack Obama bubble-gum trading cards?</p>
<p>driver, Why do you feel compelled to be mean to people on here?</p>
<p>I’m actually pretty warm and fuzzy, Peacenik, but when people call me stupid my claws come out. Multiple smiley faces for you.</p>
<p>Cheer up and watch Jeff Baxter perform the greatest driving-with-the-top-down guitar song of all time.

<p>Peacenik, Driver and I have a special little relationship, which includes her pummeling me with her “wit”.</p>
<p>Actually, I really enjoy my buddy Driver. I really do. </p>
<p>And I am too old to have had Bobby Sherman posters, though my sister had several. I wasn’t much of a groupie, till my Jackson Browne stage, which came later.</p>
<p>Peacenik, Driver’s standard post is just a variation on "I’m right and you’re stupid [insert pop culture referance] hahahahhahahahahah!!!</p>
<p>A lot of us would miss it if she changed and just commented on the topic of the thread in a sensible and responsive manner.</p>
<p>Lighten up, Kluge. Here’s another fun pop culture reference.

Jeff Baxter playing conga drums. Too funny. It does demonstrate that Steely Dan was a real band, though.</p>
<p>As to commenting on the topic of the thread in a sensible and responsive manner—I’m up in the air. I don’t know what will happen next month. Except that Lamont and the nedheads were obviously deluded.</p>
<p>OK, sorry – didn’t mean to interupt your, uh, relationships. Just sounds to me like someone who is off meds, or off a rocker, or something not quite right. But hey, I don’t really care.</p>
<p>I just love, uh, passive aggressive posts.</p>
<p>Parent2noles, I am very disappointed that you still claim that Democrats like Tammy Duckworth, who lost two legs in Iraq, are not willing to fight when needed…or Admiral Joe Sestak, who flew combat missions over Iraq and Afghanistan…or many Democrat Louisiana boys who are over there serving, despite having lost their homes to Katrina and Rita. </p>
<p>I cannot believe you are seriously arguing that these people’s willingness to fight, even die, is unworthy of acknowledgement, much less respect.</p>
<p>Conyat, you know that’s not what I meant. </p>
<p>You’re actually pretty smart. My compliments! :)</p>
<p>Stay the Course.</p>
<p>Driver,
Lamont and the Nedheads could win if the Republicans didn’t have two candidates running.</p>
<p>P2n, thank you for your “sort of” clarification.</p>
<p>I’ve never really understood how anyone can support a war, and a war going very badly at that, but not support the troops who fight it. </p>
<p>Two non-partisan vets groups (Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, and Disabled American Veterans) have issued reports showing that over the last five years, Republicans in the House and Senate have a marked tendancy to vote against legislation that would positively affect soldiers, vets and their families. Among the issues they’ve voted against: more body armor for soldiers in Iraq and funding for research for Traumatic Brain injury. Traumatic Brain Injury is one of the most devastating (and all too common) injuries to Iraq veterans. </p>

<p>“Every member of Congress claims to support the troops, but this guide shows us that more often than not, the rhetoric does not match the reality,” said Paul Rieckhoff, an Iraq War veteran and the founder and executive director of IAVA: Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. “A legislator’s low score can be directly linked to the unnecessary hardship that US troops, Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans, and military families often face.”</p>

<p>Republicans have two candidates according to you…Dems have one. Please explain how this is an advantage to Repubs in winning the election. Maybe I have a problem with math, but it seems to me that the Repubs are probably splitting their vote if they have two candidates. What do you know that I don’t?</p>
<p>We’ve had the mirror image of the Lamont situation out here in CA where the morre conservative candidate wins the GOP nomination (e.g., Simon in 2002 for Gov.) only to get manhandled in the general election.</p>
<p>Ahh…the CC. Where unlike life, do-overs are a reality.</p>

<p>New poll information from Newsweek. <a href=“http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15455544/site/newsweek/”>http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15455544/site/newsweek/</a></p>
<p>No matter which party takes/holds either house of congress, there will be no one who can do talk radio like the conservatives. The Hugh Hewitt show is fast becoming one of my favorites, although I came across this bit rather late. It’s the writer James Lileks, who has called Hugh immediately after a book promo interview with Andrew Sullivan, and doing a very clever extended parody of A.S. </p>
<p>Air America crashed and burned because you guys can’t pull this stuff off.</p>

<p>That was sooooo funny… I laughed <em>out loud</em> (crazy person sitting at computer).
I’m not familiar with the show, but I intend to look it up.</p>
<p>“there will be no one who can do talk radio like the conservatives.”</p>
<p>I think the success of people like Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter is good an indictment of the conservative movement as any.</p>
