We want you to look as good as you sound. I can quietly correct them now as the Head Content Manager. ;).

Of course, I can correct NK too for typos/errors. :D

If you can find them you can fix them. :-) I am admittedly a crappy typist. [I added no commas in those previous sentences due to extreme fear.]

Interested to hear what the role of a content manager is here. :confused:

I was in the THICK of that thread, NK. You think I'm just sittin' here painting my nails?? :)

Maybe I should edit the current events threads today and see if anyone notices. Naaaaaaaaaah, typos show passion.

And that was two months ago (and longer). Can you imagine how much water has gone under the bridge since then?

Welll... that's time I'll never get back . As flawed as my spelling and construct might be... what I do here is authentic unedited commentary on the events of the day. I would think that this board could be an asset to the site if properly marketted . I can name a few opinion sites on the net that do very well... and mind you ;those sites generally don't offer a diverse opinion base.

I've visited some of those sites and become a member of others. You're right. This site beats them all. And your writing makes you who you are and gives your writing value and authenticity -- and I won't mess with that.

Leo Panetta... too stupid to be Sec Defense ?

"we face the threats from rising powers - China, India, others - that we have to always be aware of and try to make sure that we always have sufficient force protection out there in the Pacific to make sure they know we're never going anywhere."

US defence secretary Leon Panetta goofs up, says India is an 'emerging threat' - The Times of India

Between him thinking that India is a threat to us and the President thinking Hawaii is in Asia(as opposed to being one of the 57 states )... Herman Cain appears to be in good company.

Cain is on Letterman tonight.

tomder55 · Nov 18, 2011, 10:59 AM

He's toast . I can't support someone as unsure about the foreign policy issues as he is . It's not that he doesn't know all the details... no one does . It's just that he needs enough rudimentary understanding of the issues that he can make decisions that are counter to the best advice of his advisors .

Anyone who knows the issues in the Cuban Missiles crisis realizes that Kennedy had to stand firm against the best advice of his experts .

Hello tom:

I thought you'd be able to tell the difference between a mistake and true ignorance... No, huh? That ain't good. Was it ignorance, or was it a pause?

Its ignorance to not know there aren't 57 states... ask any third grader.

That's total BS... many videos exist of him saying that in speeches... several different times he did it... they have been posted before... just do a Google...

He did it on camera.. time and time again. No mater what some Obama supporting editor tries to con the public into.

speechlesstx · Nov 18, 2011, 01:44 PM

I've never related it to him referring to the OIC. I just made fun of him for not knowing off the top of his head how many states we have.

It happened once. The rest of a fabrication in your mind.

tomder55 · Nov 18, 2011, 04:19 PM

And Panetta identified India as a threat only once too .

I actually give him a pass on it because he was attempting to defend the miitary budget.
