Jerry and Phil?

Dead: Marin Luther Thomas Jefferson Socrates Abe Lincoln Tim Russert (to moderate) Alive: Bill Clinton Geo. HW Bush Adrian Peterson Nelson Mandela (Actually, I have no idea)

I go to Washington pretty much every summer. I take dozens of 8th graders and still manage to have a great time, but the idea of living in that city fills me with dread.

He's done some great stuff, but I didn't expect it from Chris.

I liked Jules' reply, but I'll add a bit. At least up until George W. was elected, I think you could argue that most Republicans did a good job paying lip service to the religious right but not doing much for their cause. I think things have changed the last 10-15 years, so have my voting habits, somewhat.

Chris Mars. His first solo LP was a total shocker.

oops "places". If I'm around conservatives, I become more liberal. If I'm around liberals, become more conservative. I guess I take up for the other side. My views are pretty consistent, actually, just left on some (social mostly) and right on others (fiscal mostly). But I'm not likely to contribute to a political conversation solely to agree.

Or the religiously liberal / fisacally conservative?

I've always loved a good political debate, but emphasis on good. Love hearing others' views. I tend to take the other side. Here, I'm fairly conservative, other place I get pretty liberal. I think it helps me sort out my own views and as a social studies teacher, I've got to do a good job of staying neutral. I once had a former student shocked to see me at some Republican event. Woulda sworn I was a lifelong dem.

Kevin, I have no doubt that you and many others could comment on Noonan's substance. My post was more a criticism of IRDB's usual lack of substance than a defense of Noonan.

I agree, her personal style is very grating. Of course, one only attacks style if they can't or won't attack substance.

Depression is a bitch and I've seen it tear apart seniors. Another possibility at his age is a chronic illness he didn't want to suffer through. I've learned a lot about NASCAR through my father in law, but I don't know anything about Trickle other than his name. Still, RIP.

One of my favorites.

Bob Mould played the Flying V from about '79 to '87 and the Strat ever since. The Strat is where it's at.

This is bad, very bad. Heads will roll @ DOJ. Maybe up to Holder, but you're right. Still too soon.

Not to mention this one, which sounds really chilling and egregious. http://news.yahoo.com/govt-obtains-wide-ap-phone-records-probe-202010831.html

Here's the problem with the right wing media scandal machine: If Benghazi or the IRS or something down the road is worthy of actual scandal status it will go largely ignored because they are the Boy Who Cried Wolf since Jan. 20, 2009.

This seems like blatant advertising, bit I'm cool with playing loose with the rules. I'm ready let loose with some personal insults any time now. I'm looking at you Mountain Bed!

Pretty sure these posts violate something or someone.

I like the 1st 2 LPs too, but that shit's funny.

Well that's about the most absurd thing I've seen in this thread. I'm a big Old 97's fan, but to put the Avetts below them is curious. The Avett's are way more bluegrass and way more raw than the 97's. The only way I see them being compared on any level is that they both have been criticized (probably fairly) for trying to use the sex appeal to gain more mainstream popularity.

Loved that.

Nels could really shred that up nicely.
