Mitch Daniels is scheduled to appear on Fox News Sunday this week.
You guys are persuading me... Daniels/Christie in 2012.
I agree, ksquared, on Gingrich. We need someone with the necessities required to win, namely an ability to articulate solid conservative principles and an appealing personal style that would contrast favorably against arrogant, thuggish Obama. Gingrich is brilliant and articulate, but I don't think he can win -- too much personal baggage and an unappealing personal style.
I would like to see someone like Indiana governor Mitch Daniels, based on his TV appearances that I've seen.
Whoops!
"NBC Nightly News" anchor Brian Williams accidentally showed up to work Monday, unaware it was a holiday.

Didn't realize you had a well. What is Plan B if it goes dry?
but I worry about my well
ksquared, everything is going pretty well in the great state of tx, bho's destructive designs on all of us notwithstanding.
Dodged a hurricane that went into Mexico this week, but we got around 8" of rain, meaning another round of mowing soon. Good to hear you're caught up with yours.
Gotta get out there and keep up that "ksquared mows mo' grass" image. :)
The lawn beckons.
I've read the four posts made by mwatts, and in none of them does he claim to be the Mike Watts affiliated with HDY. Has anyone somehow made this link? My intent isn't to be contententious but rather to confirm who mwatts is.
TIA
Welcome to our HDY board Mr. Watts.
Paul McCartney's cheap shot at President Bush
We all know the first rule of polite society: If you can’t think of something nice to say about someone, don’t say anything at all. In certain bien pensant circles, however, there is a corollary: If you can’t think of anything nice to say -- say something bad about George W. Bush.
Consider Paul McCartney. Last night, the ex-Beatle accepted the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song at a White House ceremony, with President Obama and the first lady in attendance. Upon concluding his performance, McCartney aimed a bolt of sarcasm at Obama’s predecessor. “After the last eight years,” he quipped, “it’s great to have a president who knows what a library is.” The audience erupted in laughter.
Sorry, I don't get the joke. There are many things of which Bush may be fairly accused. It would be boring to list them all. My point here, however, is that those who smugly deride his ostensible ignorance often inadvertently demonstrate their own.
And so it was with McCartney's obnoxious crack, which was not only nasty, and totally inappropriate to the occasion, but also perfectly uninformed. Bush’s wife Laura is a librarian. She and her husband made a mini-cause of supporting literacy and public libraries, both when he was governor of Texas and when he was president.
The Bush administration oversaw creation of a federal grant program to train a new generation of librarians. It’s called the Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program, and it has awarded $130 million to date. During Bush’s presidency, federal funding for public libraries grew from $163.2 million per year to $212.2 million per year – a 30 percent increase.
In mocking the boorishness of a former U.S. president, Sir Paul, and those who roared at his remark, unfortunately demonstrated their own.

Not that much of a life -- just not much write-worthy stuff.
I feel better knowing you're going into your pre-golden years with a job and a 6.0. All else is just small stuff. :)
K², I'm still around -- just don't post much anymore. Still in Houston, which at the moment is suffering the freezing effects of Global Warming ... LOL
I think the "half path" for mowing was for tall grass that's hard to get thru. I've since gotten a more powerful mower (6.5 horsepower) with larger rear wheels that usually goes thru tall grass okay in a single path. No more half-pathing. :)
Good to check in with you again. I trust everything is okay in the hills of NJ.
Ditto. I still enjoy listening to his music after all the years. Saw him in concert several times in the '70s.

Louis Armstrong's What A Wonderful World peaked at no. 116 in 1968, but when it was re-released in connection with its inclusion in the movie Good Morning Viet Nam in 1988, it made the Top 40, peaking at no. 32.
Louis Armstrong, Dean Martin and Lorne "Pa" Greene were three "old guys" who had no. 1 hits in music's transition year of 1964 with Hello Dolly, Everybody Loves Somebody and Ringo. Dean Martin also had a no. 1 hit in music's earlier transition year of 1956 with Memories Are Made Of This.

OD, "Evergreen" was one of my favorites on the "Roy Orbison's Greatest Hits" album, although the song was never a hit. I'm guessing it was the B side of one of his big hits.
