Nessie (wherever you are),

Now I think it's safe to talk about witchcraft--unless of course the text of the article changes, as sometimes seems to happen.

I'm not sure what Palin meant when she said that whether or not to talk about Wright would be McCain's call. Did she mean…

SuperLib,

I agree that this would seem to be a good development. I wonder, though. Haven't we also read that the Taliban were ready to split with al-Qaeda 7 years ago?

Then comes a question—with whom do you engage? My general answer is that if you want to have relevant results you must speak to those who are relevant.

This seems to me a lesson worth learning. Obviously speaking to relevant parties is no guarantee of relevant results, but the failure…

Nippon5,

I can live with allowing those countries to work it out if they keep it in their countries. However, as long as we (the US) are in Iraq, that will be kind of difficult.

CavemanLawyer,

It's possible, isn't it, that blood and death is the only way that contested territory changes hands? If the US could have purchased its portion of North America the way the Dutch were reputed to have bought Manhattan, we would have saved lots of blood and death. But oddly…

Palin says that she doesn't know why the association between Obama and Wright (and presumably between Obama and Ayers) isn't discussed mores. If it were discussion she wanted, she would discuss this with Obama, with Wright, with Ayers. (Like McCain when he was a sub-committee chairman, she would convene an…

Sarge,

"The others being Democrats" represents McCains ability to "reach across the aisle" and into the pockets of American savers.

But all Saturday Night Live stuff aside, I don't think you have said why you think that Obama would make a bad president or how that comment relates to his…

I hope it will not be lost on Congress that accounting firms are one of the chief architects of compensation packages. Moreover, they may even be designing compensation packages for the same companies they are auditing. I'm somewhat skeptical that this situation could have ever occurred without a leg up…

Nippon5,

May I retort in kind?

I knew you stood apart from the average in your discussion skills, but I didn't know that you would pejorate those with whom you are having a discussion, put words into their mouths, rely on faulty logic to attempt to make your point and…
