Good? No.

Most truths are good bumper stickers ... look, he blew the withdrawal. If you like the result, let me know ...I don't think you do. Hard or not, it was his strategy and execution. Here, I'll say it your way. "He left it worse than he inherited it, but that's because it's really hard". I love you. You're nuts. Next topic: I'm not sold on Kasich, but I'm amazed that I knew so little about him, before. I'm a junkie.

I edited my post. The people did speak. He executed terribly.

Once we announced, for no strategic reason whatsoever, that we had a timetable, we forfeited any leverage we had to get our best deal. Announcing a timetable in war, again, for no reason, is foolish. I know no better word. It was done to appease a base at home at the cost of effectiveness overseas. Oh, well. Of course you didn't get a status of forces agreement. You announced you're leaving. My issue isn't leaving, it's competence. Got a timetable? Excellent. Keep to it but keep your mouth shut. Naive and costly. The vacuum, the horror.

We entered Iraq in error. We compounded the error in the manner we left. He couldn't get it done. Agreed. He wanted it. Agreed. Getting it done makes Presidents.

1). Ford makes a $95 car and sells it to you for $100, making a $5 profit. You pay $8 of tax. 2). Ford makes a $95 car and sells it to you for $108 and pays a $8 tax, profiting $5. Either way, you're out $108, Ford made $5, and the government gets $8. There is no cost, no tax, in the manufacturing process the consumer doesn't pay.

Do you think that you're not going to pay it if the manufacturer pays it?

Consumption tax with no IRS. Revenue to the government neutral or more. Regressive on income, progressive on wealth, at least at first. Encourages saving and investment greater than current levels. Simple. Not subject to loopholes and special interests (because there are none). 30,000 foot overview.

In no particular order. Next debate, Bush, Kasich, Rubio, Fiorina and elevate Jindal. I am jettisoning Walker from my short list. I like some others as human beings or thinkers (Paul, Carson), but either see no traction or don't see a President.

CNN runs a debate like its a reality TV show.

To all the liverwursters ... Yes! D4rk's is perfect.

I laughed!

3.1415926 .... You got me.

French Press Kona coffee. Half the fun is preparation, and half is enjoying. I have five to seven coffees a day. Most are office machine brewed or Keurig K cups. Fast and furious. Grinding beans, pressing, is all luxury. Last night I had a glass of Alto Moncayo 2012 Granacha. Cool room temperature, pouring and decanting. Again, it's the preparation. Simple pleasures. Lastly, before someone concludes I'm a fancy pants, it's Budweiser and/or Jack Daniels bourbon for me. There are times, though, in a frantic world, when quietly assembling a drink, and noticing every sip when you're finished, brings peace. Best restaurants - those that recognize and accommodate pace.

I had to Google the rule to understand "lured" in this context. It's hard to watch football, sometimes. I actually believe, now, that the ref got it right. I'm not sure the drafting committee did. Sanitizing with penalties is like over-regulating an .... never mind, wrong thread.

Known, as in the Biblical sense?

Is there a history? Am I not supposed to be? Are you a fan of QBR? I know your fancystats expertise .... and forgive me my trespasses ....

Look at their faces. He's TAKING the picture.

Big time QBs, QBR vs Buffalo, last appearance. Aaron Rogers. 34.3 Peyton Manning. 56.9 Tom Brady. 64.6 Andrew Luck. 63.6 Knock on wood .....

Our Bills Backers bar introduced the victory shot today. No doubt someone knows of your tradition. I skipped the shot. Years ago, I would not have.

I had pizza and wings watching here in Tampa with Bills Backers. Suffice it to say your gastronomical experience exceeded mine! Awesome ...

Same here. I'm only six years younger. He was something ... Straight outta high school.

I'm going to buy it, thank you. Your tease sentence is "world class". Grateful ... When I think back and fantasize who I'd like to have dinner with, from the last century, I come up with names like Churchill, Hoover, Johnson, Ghandi, Neruda, Dali, Lindbergh, Capote, Ingrid Bergman and Sophia Loren (blush) ... all fascinating and/or powerful. Ali is the athlete on the list. So much more than "The Greatest". History sent him at the right time, and of the right race, and in the right country ... to change us all. Can't beat Mailer.

I wanna see him at the New England game!

Awesome era.
