— andy On today's episode, Drew M., John E., Rick Tempest and I are joined by John Sexton of Breitbart.com. We discuss Comrade Sexton's post on the probable arms trafficking through Benghazi, the Obama administration's even more disastrous week than last on Syria, including his ridiculous speech to the nation and the GOP leadership's disconnect with the rank-and-file on nation building.
There's more coherent thought on foreign policy in this one podcast than the Obama administration has put forth in ~5 years.

I never listen to these things. And I made that decision just for the sake of deciding something. You know, like a Hitler.

Watchin' the sun bake

Now is the time for all good men to consider the consequences of their actions, for good or ill. Without serious examination of those resulting forces unleashed by thoughtless action or inaction, how then can good decisions be made? Obviously, decisions should not be made rashly, but in consultation with one's peers, superiors, partners, followers, and even those distantly affected. Until consensus is reached, all individually made decisions, choices made without approval of others, is nothing but tyranny, and must be resisted. Without input, without buy in, those without a voice in the decision making process have no interest in the out come and will never engage the process.

To caulk or not to caulk, that is the question.

Depends, do you have all the proper equipment? Did you get a caulk sucker?

Heh. I rarely go into the break room at work. There is a new employee who is, euphemistically speaking, NOT "grocery-challenged".
The other day I glanced in the refrigerator and peeked in her lunch sack. It took up two whole racks of fridge space. I swear, it had a side of beef, a gallon of ice cream and a hogshead of ale.

With apologies to Lawrence Sterne:
stop! my dear uncle Toby—stop!—go not one foot farther into this thorny and bewildered track,—intricate are the steps! intricate are the mazes of this labyrinth! intricate are the troubles which the pursuit of this bewitching phantom Knowledge will bring upon thee.—O my uncle;—fly—fly,—fly from it as from a serpent.—Is it fit—goodnatured man! thou should'st sit up, with the wound upon thy groin, whole nights baking thy blood with hectic watchings?—Alas! 'twill exasperate thy symptoms,—check thy perspirations—evaporate thy spirits—waste thy animal strength, dry up thy radical moisture, bring thee into a costive habit of body,—impair thy health,—and hasten all the infirmities of thy old age.—O my uncle! my uncle Toby.

Just asking. I was berated by a coblogger awhile back for pushing an older story as "breaking".

A reasonable policy.
I have worked places where cleaning out Management weekly would have been even more effective.

Yep. I can just about recite the entire movie. I still don't know what Clint saw in Sandra Locke though. I do not find her attractive.

She's got that trailer-trash/easy lay look about her. I would have hit it.

No doubt but he had a 14 year relationship with her. Clint could have scored higher quality . Must have been the personality.

She always had a really crazy look in her eyes. It probably took him 14 years to finally figure out she's really crazy.

Now for some constructive criticism (don't ban me) and some stream of consciousness on politics since this is a nice forum for me as I'm a long-time lurker who rarely comments.
The sound is better than when I listened before, so kudos.
A little too long as even the podcasters (is that a word?) seem to be a little bored by the end. It just needs tightening up a little. My attention wandered in and out, depending upon my ADHD, the topic, the speaker and the speaker's focus - some of the speaker's thoughts weren't always organized.
Wish I knew who was speaking although I guess it would be too queer - not in a gay way KTTAWWT - to announce who is speaking each time they said something. I had NO idea who was speaking except for John Saxon. I thought this was kinda funny because I thought for sure I'd be able to identify the individual cob-loggers by their reactionary views by this time.
John Saxon's part was really interesting, he doesn't sound like he's in his late 70s and his botox (based on his Breitbart pic) is better than John Kerry's. I really liked him in re-runs of The Bold Ones (I collect and trade old TV shows, I'm not THAT old).
I believe the conservative base (and I guess Republicans - blech) views on war and the military are changing dramatically (were they ever really war-mongering to begin with?). I think we still believe in a strong defense if direct American interests are threatened / involved. I don't think there is anything wrong with having supported Bush and all that came after 9-11, ever attempts at nation-building - we gave it a shot. No one was clear on how to address the enormity of 9/11. But what's wrong with conservatives admitting it was a mistake, that we weren't true to our values, and now we are getting back to what we believe? We may even get new people on board.
And I think there is a place for conservatives who believe in a more robust defense policy - we aren't liberals who require group-think and we have serious unaddressed defense issues that don't involve nation-building. If anything, I believe we need a coherent, realistic defense policy - Americans need to feel safe above all.
I think some combination of conservative / libertarian party is where the future is. I just wonder if the Republican Party is that place. You guys have it nailed 100% in that the Republicans are so out of touch with the base and the rest of America, that they have no idea what regular American feel or want. The Dems too, but they have that appeal to emotion going on, so I guess...feelings.
Keep up the good work. I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. Sorry for the formatting that I know will get screwed up even though I will copy & paste into NotePad.
More people should listen, actually, maybe they are, but I'm really glad I gave it a second chance. I wish our pols would listen instead paying expensive consultants who know jack about what is going on outside of DC. I think the podcast needs a glossier promotion so it gets a wider circulation - perhaps boobehs or a chance to win Dinner With the Ewok?
