Not at all.

[John Minnerath]

Amazing. We need more.

Congratulation! More!

Absolutely not enough. "More, sir."

Congrats.

[Bobo]

No, to the question and I wish you another ten more.

Your blog fills a gaping hole in public discourse in the US.

We won't, but here's hoping you won't either!

[David Habakkuk]

Of course not.

It has been an immensely disappointing decade. The polemics you were making from the start against the dotty assumptions which underpinned the invasion of Iraq were quite patently cogent at the time.

But, rather than the lunatic nature of the premises underlying the invasion being grasped, the same habits of thinking have just led on to more and more follies.

However, there is no point in being disheartened. If people can go on living in a dream for a very long time, sometimes they do wake up, and such awakenings can be quite sudden.

As the Victorian poet A.H. Clough wrote, 'if hopes were dupes, fears may be liars.'

never enough for an addict, sir.

The Cure speak for me "Never Enough"

and if you can't take the video:

However much I push it down
It's never enough
However much I push it around
It's never enough
However much I make it out
It's never enough
Never enough
However much I do
However big I ever feel
It's never enough
Whatever I do to make it real
It's never enough
In any way I try to speak
Never enough
Never enough
However much I try to speak
It's never enough
However much I'm falling down
It's never enough
However much I'm falling out
It's never enough
Whatever smile I smile the most
Never enough
Never enough
However I smile I smile the most

So let me hold it up just one more go
Holding it over just once more
One more time to fill it up
One more time to kill
Whatever I do it's never enough
It's never enough!

However much I push it down
It's never enough
However much I push it around
It's never enough
However much I make it out
It's never enough
However much I do
Never enough
Never enough
However much I'm falling down
Never enough
However much I'm falling out
Never, never enough!
Whatever smile I smile the most
Never enough
However I smile I smile the most

So let me hold it up just one more go
Holding it over just once more
One more time to fill it up
One more time to kill
Whatever I do it's never enough
Never enough!
So let me hold it up just one more go
Holding it over just once more
One more time to fill it up
One more time to kill
Whatever I do it's never enough
It's never enough
It's never enough
It's never enough
It's never enough
It's never, it's never enough

Metaphor.

Truth, Justice and the American Way. Being from Alabama it's good to find a place where it can be explained and discussed. Also a big thanks for putting your shoulder into preventing another event like the Iraq Invasion. It may not get you friends but it will get you respected.
