Comments on: The little post that grew https://thenewneo.com/2010/07/30/the-little-post-that-grew/ A blog about political change, among other things Sat, 31 Jul 2010 18:52:55 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: expat https://thenewneo.com/2010/07/30/the-little-post-that-grew/#comment-174939 Sat, 31 Jul 2010 18:52:55 +0000 http://neoneocon.com/2010/07/30/the-little-post-that-grew/#comment-174939 This is OT, but somewhat related: I justed watched Peter Robinson’s interview with Charles Hill at NRO’s Uncommon Knowledge. They discuss Hill’s book, Grand Strategies, which sounds fantastic. It’s about seeing interconnectedness in foreign policy, but it sounds like what Neo is doing, ie, saying there is more here that I need to chew on.

I apologize for being so snippy with you some months back.

Think nothing of it, Jon. No apology needed. Some of the old hands can tell you that I can get a bit snippy myself. Diplomacy is not my strong suit.

Hey, maybe several books.”

I certainly understand that.

But looking back at the 2008 election stats, I’d say there was only one group whose vote accurately reflected the lousy percentages Obama deserved. The Southern Man.

metamorf, i know tons of this stuff from my childhood… it doesnt get better… the world and history and information is too wide. what aggravates it is wanting to convey the specific subset that you experienced or wander through to someone else.

i have not met anyone that reads as much as i do, and remembers it, and no matter how much i do, there is still a huge mountain before me. (that in itself is somewhat comforting)
