Neoconning

by Bryan

Put on the web at the request specifically of people like — oh yeah: Hoekstra, Santorum, Pat Roberts and Curt Weldon. So Hoekstra is content to let Negroponte take it on the ear on this one, not for the first time. What’s the word for going on national television to blame others for what he specifically is most responsible for in all of Washington? It seems to be becoming an epidemic.

Why don’t we call it “neoconning”. It does seem to be the current fashion among the Gee-Oops.

Mark Twain

"There are two novels that can change a bookish 14-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

John Rogers

"The presence of those seeking the truth is infinitely to be preferred to the presence of those who think they've found it."
