I think my post preceded yours. At the time I posted it I believe Ty was the only one that challenged it. Didn't yours come later (or at least you posted it when I was working on my response).

??? I think you have ben posting here too long, and/or reading posts by Hank and Penske too much. This is so incoherent.

Wait, maybe you just can't do long sentences -- if so, please go back to your normal style of short, declarative sentences only. If you could cut some of the repetitiveness, it'd be nice, but I would rather see repetitiveness than this bizarre incoherence.

My "fuck em, the market will provide" post was at 4:48 pm on Friday. Your "don't you liberals care about poor people" post was at noon on Saturday.

And fuck you for making me go back to check all of this.

The Katrina evacuees are in my back yard now. I have become a Conservative.

If you are implying that spank has been influenced or has learned from Penske and me, then, ipsa facto, our posts must be coherent.

I think your ipso facto thingy works for "learned from" but one could be influenced even by The Sound and the Fury.

Thanks! I don't know the presidents in order. The only one I could name by number is George Washington.

On reading your post I
was rather distraught
that you speak of my world
of which you know naught.

You lump us together,
as if you had read
in my post words
never written or said.

You lack real humor,
have no sense of style,
from one post to the next
your words miss by a mile.

I fear that this discourse
may make me seem rude,
but your literal mind
makes you seem like a boob.

Rhyming can be quite fun
And BRC you have a sharp wit
But before this thread is done
I must point out that I invented it.

(well, Shifter's girfriend, Katy, had a part.)

That was mean.

Well, since PBS had a special on it, it must be true.

Actually, there has been hot debate among historians, and so if it is "common knowledge" I would say the non-specialists know a lot more about it than the specialists.

There was a treatise in the early 80s on FDR and Isolationism by a guy named Cole that argued that the administration was intentionally seeking to shift public opinion away from isolationism so that intervention would be possible. My understanding is that recent scholarship is more of the view that FDR followed rather than led public opinion, and that he remained deeply torn.

While I happen to be of the view that he likely knew war was coming and so was trying to prepare public opinion for it gradually (in other words, that he was intentionally misleading), I won't say that I know this or that it is or should be common knowledge.

Though the PBS special did present it virtually as a fact - are you relying on PBS for your authority here?

Sniff. We're perfect together.

do you have cites for ANY of this?

Well as I breathe and live,
I hate to be derivative,
So I'll upgrade my form
From the current old norm,
And hope change is regenerative!
