        True enough. Although, I do live in very liberal DC these days, so I'm mostly amongst friends there. And the conservatives I work with, are more along the line of deep thinkers, who tend to like to debate things, rather than repeat talking points and all.

        Always a classic. You've got to wonder why no one around him bothered to tell him he was making a colossal idiot of himself. Unless, of course, they were no brighter.

        You got that right, king. With the neocons, it's either no punctuation at all, or much too much. They don't regurgitate "talking points" so much as they do "babbling points" and/or "shouting points."
