Something for you Henry to get the adrenaline pumping through your system to start the day.

Here is my favorite quote.

One-party autocracy certainly has its drawbacks. But when it is led by a reasonably enlightened group of people, as China is today, it can also have great advantages. That one party can just impose the politically difficult but critically important policies needed to move a society forward in the 21st century.

I think this is way more likely to anger henry.

LOL, your right, that one wins. That guy is the poster boy for MSM of today. Only one view allowed no mater how ridiculous.

Peter is the only guy I have ever heard try to explain why prices are so high. You won't hear any republicans making this point they simply want regulation that favors their interest groups instead of the democrats. This guy actually tries to say something different and the interviewer absolutely won't allow it, it would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

What is this? The "Piss Henry Off" thread? He's already pretty irascible, so I don't know why you want to go there. ;-)

Almost done. My ears are starting to bleed.

Why don't I get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to have a show? I'd be so much better than this guy. All you have to do is get interesting people and listen to them. It's not too hard.

People make fun of Larry King, but at least he lets people talk. His shows only suck when he has too many guests. He may be a leftie, but he will let those that disagree with him make a point.

I dissed the MSM in my earlier post but the truth is I don't watch Hannity, or Oreilly because they rarely let their guests finish a point, even the guests they agree with have to fight like mad to finish a sentence.

BIG JUMP IN THE POSITIVE NUMBERS ON HEALTH CARE AFTER SPEECH!*

-CNN

37% independent? interesting. I think this speech was as much about placating the left as it was trying to cross the bridge with the right. Bipartisanship is a dream anyway....the two parties are too far apart to truly come together (for now).

The "as in China today" part is pretty hilarious, but I can't say I strongly disagree with his notion that a benevolent dictator is better than an unlimited democracy. His example, China, is of course far from a benevolent dictator, but if they made someone smart, good-looking, kind, and wise, such as me, dictator of the US, we'd be better off than with the current joker.

Isn't that the whole point though. That's how dictators take the reins in the first place. Because if selfishness and greed were not factors, then a totalitarianism would obviously be the correct government to have... the problem is, of course, that there will ALWAYS be selfishness and greed... which is why they never work. But OBAMA can do it!

I could support this. Canebrain, of course, would be imprisoned under your regime, correct?

I would much rather live under Canebrain's rule.

Sorry Henry.

I wouldn't make prostitution legal, I'd make it mandatory. Every are over 46 million people who go without prostitutes every single year.

prostitution legal, pot legal, handguns legal, assault weapons illegal.

also, no casino would be permitted to offer 6:5 odds on blackjack. **** that.

I actually think Henry and me see eye to eye on a lot of issues...
