In some parts of the Republican universe, facts and fantasy merge, the truth doesnt surface, its shaped, data must be made to conform to doxology, and accepted science borders on the heretical. This is how the money-rich are able to prey on the knowledge-poor.
This denial is sinking in among the Republican rank and file. A Pew Research Center report issued Monday found that most Republicans believe that we can go past the debt limit deadline without major problems.
This is bigger than Obamacare. This is about rich conservatives seeking to exert unlimited influence on our political system, and employing far-right Republicans who are animated, to varying degrees, by an innate hostility to this president, fear of diminishing influence and a disavowal of disagreeable truths.
This is about the fragility of our democracy: the possibility that a government by the people may swiftly give way to a government dominated by dark money and dark motives.

Why thank you Tom, that is the nicest thing I have seen you say (good luck....). But, I must say, my life is far from narrow and quite busy and rewarding. I can only hope yours is the same.

And that motorcycles favorite place to go is Mena Arkansas. Your state is one of the best places to ride that I have been to so far. (just wished I could take my boat as well as I have seen some beautiful lakes there as well.) Just waiting for a chace to go to KW Conch's area. I keep hearing how beautiful it is.

Highway 7, from Russellvile down to Hot Springs, seems to be a good ride.
I certainly see a lot of bikes on it.

Isn't Russellville close to the nuclear power plant? If so, then I have been through it, but I cannot say which highway I was on without looking at a map. Hot springs is a beautiful town as well. Actually, I can't say that I have seen anything ugly in Arkansas, but did run into some really scary people on a back road once.
A miata is a great car for some of the roads there. I know that had to be fun! And what better way to see the countryside.

I knew you wouldn't answer. If you want to make a conservative run, ask him a question.
Evasion, evasion, evasion.

OK, did you just call me a conservative?
If so, I understand why you don't understand.

I've wondered why we get so much Tea Party type guff on UHH. Must be all those plutocrats who can afford thousand dollar cameras
