Love Peter Robinson, his questions, expanded knowledge, pace, mannerism, persona, work, interviews...everything on par!

Man, I find this interview fascinating. Guess I'm becoming a grown up.

"Governor Romney does not seem particularly articulate" is the best summation I have heard yet of the 2012 campaign. Unfortunately, the Republicans have virtually ceded the not only the election, but also the big arguments to the opposition by nominating two consecutive men who are woefully inept at persuasively stating the conservative position.

I think it's funny that this is the only person I know of who insists on karate chopping to illustrate the "slash" in URLs.

I know it's not exactly the same territory perse. but I always laugh when people whine about the crusades as if it was the ultimate evil that had ever occured on the planet 2nd only to perhaps the holocaust (not the holodomor though for some reason). Essentialy because it is sort of a black mark in the christian history.
Yeah... islamic countries never knew war before that, nore ever after it. No one stops to wonder WHY the crusades were launched?
