The brilliant thing is how it inadvertently draws attention to obomas inexperience, and he is the prez pick, not veep! lol.

McCain is using the medias bias against them and against his opponent. He really is a brilliant campaigner.

Now if he repents his amnesty heresy I can throw myself behind him.

Not a half bad looking veep pick. Plus she is a symbol of western motherhood. I like her a lot.

I predict weakest voter turn out ever, widespread apathy, followed by the long overdue understanding that this govt does not represent us taxpayers that feed these Washington scumbellies.

Wow, Hussein is not looking too bright anymore.

I am kind of enthralled by his fall from grace. I thought the MSM would have carried him to the White House without any opposition, but he makes it hard on himself whenever he opens his mouth.

I didn't love 'Black Like Me?' lol.

I think I will read a lot to my children at home so they can get a little bit of culture after the indoctrination hours.

Do you plan on becoming a professor?

The Western World needs professors such as yourself.

There were some great film adaptations such as Anna Karinina, and Eugene Onegin, both in English and for Western audiences. Pushkin and Tolstoy would have been proud of this movies had they lived to see them. I think there is a Russian version of Master and Margarita.

Its a shame we don't celebrate US literature the way the Russians do. Poe, Hawthorne, and Melville are untaught in the PC public school systems in this day and age to make way for 'diversity literature.'

Do you have a favorite Russian author?

Thank you, sir.

Nice hearing from you. I trust your studies are going well.

I think McCain's biggest problem is the lack of enthusiasm of his base. Such would not be an issue with someone like Mark Sanford.

I am a big Pat Buchanan guy myself, so I don't see eye to eye with McCain on all of the issues, especially the amnesty issue.

Hello Duke of Venice, how are you?

Honestly I have not seen them yet. Sorry, I have been rather preoccupied lately. I think he should bring rev. Wright up again, personally, because he has the big weight of Bush around his ankle right now.

What do you think of them?

Never wrote for them, no. It would be an honor to. Truly the best magazine in the US and has been for quite some time.

I will have to check out this Pr. Madden. Sounds very fascinating.

My specialty is 12th century Holy Roman Empire and the Wendish region in Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg, not to mention the popular heretical movements such as Cathars and Bogimilists.

Regarding primary sources for this topic (Wends) one would look primarily at Saxo Grammaticus, Thietmar, Adam of Bremen, and the Russian Primary Chronicle.

I do enjoy primary sources from other periods, though. I assume your Latin is decent then?
