Greetings From a RedState Refugee

or "seminar caller" as Rush says? He was on at 12:28 EST right before the 1/2 hour break. Jason blammed him pretty well.

probably the one she felt the most comfortable with or who offered them the best scheduling. Understand, she's accustomed to a media that hates her just as much and which is just as smart-assed as anything on the National stage. The major outlets here, KTUU-TV (NBC), the PBS network, the Anchorage Daily News (McClatchy), and Juneau Empire (Morris Communications) virulently hate all things Republican. The reporters here can ask a leading question or a question that is half testimony assuming facts not in evidence just as well as those in the DC Press Corp - you don't have to be real smart to do it.. Her big problem with any of them won't be knowledge of the subject, it will be deconstructing a question so that it can actually be answered without looking like a raging b**ch, which is exactly how they'll characterize her if she gets in their face. She is not a shrinking violet and in private her language can be quite "colorful," like most people here. The fear would be that they'd start the same stuff with her about a bad temper and sharp tongue that they've tried with McCain from time to time.

sitting down with Gibson. They are already talking about what softball questions he will ask.
It's funny to watch. Yet again, I think they are setting the bar low, so he will well exceed it.
I don't see Gibson bringing out the raging b**ch in her. He doesn't in me, and I'm kind of like her. No nonsesnse and all that stuff. Now, Wolf Blitzer, I'd rage away at that pr*ck.

I watched a portion of the CNBC interview she did the week before the announcement. Honestly, I couldn't keep up with her. She knows her stuff when it comes to energy. So, as far as I am concerned, she doesn't have to know squat about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

we get what would pass for one anywhere else every couple of weeks this time of year out on the coast. Rarely get winds more than 50-60 mph here; rattles the windows and wears the lines on the boat. Once in awhile have to put the plywood on the windward windows and make sure there's gas in the generator.

I wanted to get back to you but getting on the site proved impossible before the whole thread faded into the past. Many here won't know what we're talking about, and I hate to use the word nuanced, but I should have been more nuanced.

I probably would have made the same choice that your parents and apparently you made: I wouldn't evacuate, and if that proved to be even a fatally wrong decision, I wouldn't consider myself a victim. It simply would be the consequence of an informed and prepared choice that I made. That was the part of the discussion that was missed.

I just really have no use for anyone who allows themselves to become a victim and crys for help when something entirely foreseeable occurs. A person who has a plan, is prepared, and makes a choice is not a victim. Here the danger is more tsunamis than the equinoctal storms, not much warning for tsunamis. I have a plan for tsunamis and if it doesn't work, it's my fault for being here; I do have a choice.
