Yes, that memorable quote is as powerful and observant now as it was for the first Clinton campaign in 1992. Whichever party does not emphasize the most obvious and current concern of the American electorate will be the “stupid” party this time around.

Toby: 

Do you see what you can contribute here….opinion of the political genre that has some legitimacy and timeliness to it. That is if dare to “cross that line” of treacherous civil discourse.

A tapered lawn and flanking allées of littleleaf linden trees converge from atop a 100-foot-wide ceremonial staircase, pointing toward the tip of the island as if stretching toward infinity. 
Reminds me of the numbing power of the forced-lines of the vista from the plaza space between the buildings at the Salk Institute. Perhaps one of Kahn’s mo…[Read more]

Man, those really irritating insects on one’s chest can be pesky little creatures. Glad you got that little bugger off.

I meant no intentional harm, nor foul in singling out your forum posting in the comparative and introductory part of this posting. My sole motivation, that you seemingly missed or skipped over, was simply this and remains…[Read more]

Thank you for more thoughtful and well-reasoned commentary here. I have been having this problem with my knee recently where it tends to have an unexpected and massive twitch that seems to occur when I am posting on Land8Lounge, and I tend to come off more as “jerk” sometimes.

Clearly I was the hypocritical heretic here and for that I offer my humble apology with a 75%/25% split. The 75% goes out to Jordan for my incendiary closing, low-brow and blow “tea” related remark. That was highly uncalled for and Daniel your also right. It was not very civil and respectful.
