Buck up, though, world. If four years of Carter gave us Reagan, can’t even begin to imagine to whom the Obama years will lead. Pipe down re. 16 more years of Chavez-inspired Obama, you piper-uppers …

I would call it a hiatus.
Great artwork.
40 countries.
I cannot wait until Cuba is added to that list. And Venezuela. And Iran.
So, who’s up for drafting McChrystal for a 2012 run?
I’ve been dreaming of a ticket involving Petraeus, but McChrystal would rock as well! Wait, Irish, probably Catholic … dammit!!! We’ll never get another one of those whose name isn’t Kennedy. grumblegrumblegrumble …
I may have been the originator of the Petraeus-as-President idea. How? I had the connection fairly early, before I saw it anywhere else, after looking up his background. I posted my musing on a prominent British conservative blog, which had had several of its stories poached by British newspapers, including the Independent. Well, not long after, rumors of Petraeus having ambitions for 2012 (based on vague unnamed sources and some pretty thin hearsay), showed up in the Independent. That then seemed to stoke a flame in the conservative blogopshere for the idea. So, it’s nothing I can prove, but it’s an interesting coincidence.
Anyway, my logic for McChrystal is thus: He’s already threatened to resign if Obama doesn’t get his act together. My guess is that if that comes to pass–which Obama and company seem intent on letting happen; or even worse, making peace with our sworn enemies–he’ll have more than ample personal motive for throwing his hat into the ring and challenging him in 2012. Of course, my guess is that he probably loathes politics, but he’s the type of man to do something like this on principle.
Or to be convinced to do something like that on principle. I doubt he would do it on his own initiative, but I think he could be convinced, as an effort to try and save the country.
I think making peace with the Taliban would be the tipping point. That could convince him to step in.
David,
I can’t tell you how many times I hear something on the radio, see it on the TV news, or read about it in a paper and think, “Hey, we started that on http://www.threedonia.com!” Then, I stop huffing the glue and remember that we all swim in a sea of the same information and it’s almost definite many of us will have similar ideas simultaneously. There is one time I am almost certain that a radio personality aired an idea that had originated here. It was 1 day after I had posted it and he used a very obscure word that I also used in that post, but the rest of the times I think it was merely coincidence.
But who knows? I figure, as long as they’re good ideas I don’t mind who takes them.
All true, but as I had the opportunity watched the idea actually spread, I have a stronger-than-normal-basis for the theory. Nut like I said, I can’t prove it and it remains an interesting coincidence.
I do agree that what sometime become massive, national and international memes may often begin as obscure, even un-sourced and unproven ideas or suggestions from everyday folk.
>>But who knows? I figure, as long as they’re good ideas I don’t mind who takes them.>>
For the record, I will always give credit from whomever I steal an idea from a post. Right, blackhawk?
Exhibit A
