Not sure if you are refering to myself or Milibank. I finished that book back in '04 when it came out, unfortunately I can't speak for Milibank. Great mystery,fictional novel by Dan Brown though, I thouroughly enjoyed it. I'm sure a number in the Soapbox would enjoy it also.

C'mon OVM, don't be such a cynic ;)

I can't believe this hasn't been posted here before, at least I haven't seen it. We are screwed I tell ya, screwed! As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be...

Glad to see that you and the usual suspects have been able to rise above the childish disposition that has been on display in the past. Stay classy.

Allow me to preface this thread with this. I am no fan of MSNBC and I view them in the same light as Fox News. Except for one thing, which is pointed out below, open debate. So I am offering up the same challenge to those of you in the Soapbox: Link: Breitbart's Big Journalism proves our...

Or so she thought in 2006. Another day, another dug up story of Christine O'Donnell saying something sort of nutty—specifically, that China was plotting to take over the US. The AP reports that in a debate during Delaware's 2006 Senate primary, O'Donnell said China had a "carefully thought...

Walter Cronkite, “honest news outlets,” and persistent falsehoods October 06, 2010 1:12 pm ET by Jamison Foser Vanity Fair’s Todd Purdum writes that Washington is broken, a proposition with which I am not inclined to disagree. I do, however, want to follow-up on one passage: While Purdum...

Here is another laugher. Even though I generally support unions this piece did show the hypocrisy of what some unions are capable of. Sometimes people have to be called out on their actions and I thought the journalism was both fair and funny. Working Stiffed - The Daily Show with Jon...

Have I ever given the impression that I drive truck? How could you get bored here in the Soapbox, c'mon. Again, I think it is inappropriate to bring in idle chit-chat on a thread that is about unions.

hmmmm......maybe shoot me a PM asking how I'm doing then? Since we are in the Soapbox section where political talk takes place and not in the "Chat about Expediting" section of the site or the "banter" section.

Oh sorry, I didn't know you were refering to me, I didn't see the name "Sudsy" in your comments. Get over what? Precisely the point of the thread. Hence, these final words in the story: But that doesn't stop Forbes or Fox from doing just that.

Didn't the subject of "banter" get covered quite extensively about a week ago? You quote me about my comment on generalization, and then ask how I am running? What's that have to do with anything in the thread or my comment?

That has got to be one of the biggest generalizations in a sea of generalizations in this thread.
