Just to provide a little context .... that you .... ahem .... so convienently left out ...... the comments of Bill Maher's you quoted above were made in response to Dinesh D'Souza's - a prominent conservative - statement that contrary to Bush's assertions, the 9/11 terrorists were not, in fact...

Correct. It leaves him out of the mainstream within the (political) subset .... and clearly in the mainstream as part of the cultural mainstream as a whole .... Well, actually .... you would be wrong on that count as well .... I am somewhat aware of Mr. Maher as a comedian and a show host...

Now, you just have to figure which mainstream it is that he is referring to ...... (hint: it ain't the same one I am talking about :rolleyes:)

That probably accounts for why it took so long for me to respond initially ... it took me that long just to pick my jaw up off the floor ..... ..... yeah .... just how lucrative .... to how few .... And just how costly it is/was to so many, who paid the ultimate price ....

Man, this kinda thing is just literally too good to be true .... it's like manna from Heaven .... First, you say that you have never watched the show ..... and so aren't qualified to comment one way or another (by virtue of being entirely ignorant on the matter) .... I'm with ya up to here...

And yet you are drawn to it .... like a moth is drawn to the flame .... :rolleyes: Heheheheh ..... is that what's been occurring here - you, rattling my chain ? ...... yeeaah .... :rolleyes: I'd say that little bit of self-delusion is just further evidence of being utterly divorced from...

No, I did ..... you however implied it: "Look at our history, world history...our whole economy is built on it...." Uh .... ok ..... :rolleyes: We've lost the money edge simply because in relation to other countries we are no longer as productive as we once were, comparatively speaking ...

Nope ..... I don't think it ....... :D I do however certainly recognize that the views you are espousing (that war is needed .... for no other reason than economics) is a form of insanity that has been very popular and in vogue in certain circles for some time ... :rolleyes:

I won't comment on his political positions specifically - since that isn't exactly what I'm talking about (but I do realize that you and others really, really want it to be :rolleyes:) but, yes - Glenn Beck would qualify as part of the cultural mainstream .... Now, if you can figure why that...

And we have loser number three for utterly missing the point .... (but who earns a cookie .... for subsequently attempting to redefine the terms I used, as I used them, with his own meanings instead)

OVM, The only things I can manage after reading your thoughts here in this thread is the following: 1. Have you started raising that whacky tobacky up there as a cash crop, and have lately been partaking of some of the harvest ? 2. You may wish to consider getting your water tested for...

Neither do I, really. It can be ..... Your first mistake would be to assume that it is (important to me) .....

Sorry ... I don't think so .... At any rate, you supplied the canvas, the palette, the colors, and the brushes .... all I did (as I always do) was merely add a few minor brush strokes to complete the picture .... that you yourself had already painted ..... Heheheheh .... I'm practically...

Is this another (more polite) way of saying "out of touch with reality" ? :D

Well, I was gonna respond to this ..... but the Terrapin beat me to it ..... and, as usual, said it better than I could .... The only thing I can add - since you seem to wanna harp on it (in a sad, pathetic attempt to inject some sort of a strawman argument and divert things) there Thumper (my...

The above sentence really makes no sense - since you didn't bother to quote only the portion of what I wrote that your sentence above is responding to - so that anyone reading could easily understand your point .... As for you on national level TV .... let us know when we can all tune in ...

You nailed it ..... :D

No ... but you get (and occasionally watch) broadcast TV (like uhh .... ABC ?) don't you ? It isn't particularly ... except to a small extent in that it allows me to be more aware of what's happening in the current culture in which I live ...... :rolleyes: .... lol ...... no requirements to...

Another voice heard from that didn't "get it" .... :rolleyes:

Predictably, you missed the point ..... totally and completely ..... I was wondering how long it would take one of the "usual suspects" to post a reply in a similar vein as yours .... needless to say Leo, you didn't disappoint ..... (but then you rarely do ... :rolleyes:) You (apparently)...
