This a first class operation. Everything is clean and fully functional. They were upgrading the wifi system and replacing the antenna. Good hiking paths are near the park. Sites have gravel, some are shaded and others are open to the sun. Satellite dishes work well where there is no shade trees. No sewage hook-ups at the sites but dump station is near by. AT&T was not available until closer to town. - Nautilus

What a delightful park. This is the kind of park you grew up in when you were tent camping but now you can enjoy it in an RV. enter through a ski parking lot that opens into a beautiful property. We were there for fall colors and the color in the campground were wonderful. Beautiful walks around pretty ponds. Host was great and welcoming. No sewer but easy access to dump station great wifi. - Bev&Dick

This is a very nice family run park. It is small and very quiet. Sites are level. Utillities worked well, WIFI was very good. They have a pond in the center of the campground with a fountain in it. The sites are open (without trees) to get into, but plenty of shade all around. Probably the only issue I could see was the sewer is not a threaded hookup and both our site and the one next to us had toilet paper on the ground where people must've not had their hose weighted down. Other sites had threaded hookups. We stayed here 2 nights and would definitely stay here again if in the area. - jacknpeg

Privately owned, husband & wife team. Pleasant and thoughtful of campers. Well mowed grassy areas with shade at most campsites. 5oA or 30A sites with water and sewer available. Graveled roadways and camp site parking. Beautiful forest all around the campground. We are only here for 2 nights, wish we were staying longer. - Toby's dad

Very pretty smaller campground about 3 miles from Rt 7, about 8 miles from Bennington. Very quiet and clean, FHU include cable (just 13 channels) and very decent WIFI. Good ATT cell, too.
Sites are arranged around small pond with a lighted fountain that is a nice swimming hole in warmer weather. All gravel roads and sites, level, table and fire ring. Shade varies by site. No laundry. Quiet dogs are more important than leashed dogs, a refreshing attitude. We'd come back anytime. - bobcovey

We stayed here for the first time this fall and loved it. Woodford is a clean, high elevation state park campground in the Green Mountain National Forest. Many prime sites have lakeside views. We enjoyed some time paddling on the lake. Canoe, rowboat and paddleboat rentals are offered. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It's a very quiet campground at night. Contact the staff ahead of time to reserve a site suitable for your equipment. Some will be difficult to back in unless driving the wrong way on a one-way loop but that's OK. The restrooms are cleaner than most state parks as the staff have recently sanded/refinished the walls and wood interiors. We will definitely return to this state park next year! - TJflyer

This State Park is a well treed park at a higher elevation. It is worth inspecting the sites to be sure you can get a larger unit into the loop. No services are available. They offer lean-to shelters for those who want the out door experience. This is a nice quiet park and we would return if in the area. - lrp374

Where do I start. I always avoid staying in parks that haven't been reviewed within a year of our visit. Made an exception because we really needed someplace to stay on our way through area. I looked for the improvements mentioned in the last post but I can't find them. Called in advance for reservation and was told it was off season so rate would be 30.00. Gentleman who checked us in couldn't use credit card machine so I wrote a check. We requested a pull through with full hookup. We got water and electric. Good news site was relatively level. Also told the restroom/showers were closed because they just painted the floors. I can't begin to describe the permanent trailer and lean-to next door and I certainly can't write how my husband described it. My suggestion would be to find a WalMart to stay in. - Pennylee

We had read previous reviews about this campground and were apprehensive of what we would find and were pleasantly surprised. The manager was "johnny on the spot" and attended our every need. Many improvements have been made to the park and are continuing. The restrooms and showers are older than some but very clean and well maintained. The river that runs past the park was beautiful and good fishing. The "seasonal" campers were friendly and helpful. We stayed here with two basset hounds for a week. - jmjack

A real camping slum. 95% seasonal and many in very poor condition. Showers\restrooms in metal building that was very rusty. Terrible driveway. Interior roads were rutted and very narrow. Would never stay here again. - BADGEGUY

This is a very nice little park in the Northwest corner of Massachusetts. Very friendly staff, always looking to help out any way they can. It rained most of the time we were there, but the site drained extremely well and we were comfortable the whole weekend. The surrounding area is very interesting with plenty to do and see. The only gripe I have about the park is the showers. They're hard to use with the push buttons which give you a few seconds of water at a time. There's no place to sit to get undressed and no place to hang clothes to keep them dry. We'd definitely come back here for another weekend. - 2beagles
May 2013 - $12.00
Very nice campground. Staff was very friendly. Lots of historical sites to see nearby like Bennington Battle Monument (VT), The Natural Bridge, and Heritage Park Museum (about the construction of the Hoosac Tunnel). Also very close to Mount Greylock the tallest mountain in Massachusetts. We didn't get to drive up it because of the recent snow! We would go back here again to go up Mount Greylock hopefully, with better weather. - B. P. Donelan

This RV park location has great potential, but significant infrastructure improvements would be necessary (sites leveling and surfacing, access road leveling, expansion of the sewer connection system, lots of tree trimming, etc.) to bring it into the modern RVing world. The first thing you notice, when you pull into the campground, is a big sign saying that the campground is for sale. Maybe someone will purchase and improve it. Our site was one of the few sites with full hookups. All of the full hookup sites are in the woods where satellite reception is not possible. They have some open field sites, for satellite access, but these sites do not have sewer hookups. Our site was not level (front to back). It was a gravel back-in site with just enough depth to fit our 43' fifth wheel. The access roads were gravel with quite a few potholes. The hookups were good and our site had a fire ring and picnic table. WiFi was actually pretty good, but it wasn't free, so we did not use it. There was full recycling on site. I would not label this as a big rig friendly RV park. In its present state, I sincerely doubt that we would visit here again. - Byron Bailey

This could be a nice park but it would take a lot of work. At check-in the young man didn't know how much to charge and seemed to be unsure if there was a site available. After giving us a site number we drove to it and noticed the park looked to be three quarters empty. Don't understand the confusion. Sites are good size and wooded but all sand and mud. As this was just for a one night stay we could make do. The restrooms were the worst we have encountered. Dirt and dead bugs on the floor and showers, cobwebs and dust buildup everywhere. Old thin curtains on the shower and stalls. We would not camp here again. - 21fbrs

Was here for a T@B rally 9/24-27. Campground run by city of N. Adams. Some sites power was at a distance and needed a long cord to plug in. Site 1&2 are small tent sites @$25 a night. Other sites $35-40. Campground host was very friendly. - Trub

This park is long in the tooth and in need of a serious upgrade. At my first assigned site, I couldn't find the electrical outlet. Finally, it showed up, about 75 feet from my site. Electrical panels were shared by two sites, so only one got 30 amp service and the other 20 amp. Sites consisted of white coarse sand and gravel that stuck to everything. To get into the park after 4:30 pm, you had to put down a deposit for a tab to get in, even though the entrance gate had the capability of accepting keyed in numbers. Finally, using a credit card involved a $2.50 fee for the privilege. The campground is on the side of a steep hill (like much of the area). Staff was nice and helpful, but nothing can overcome the deep need for an overhaul. If there were no other campground in the area, we'd stay here again, otherwise probably not. - Jay Rutherford

Town-owned campground and nearby lake are most acceptable, terrific pavilion, fishing and non-motorized boating, right in historic North Adams. Do not let your GPS take you up Mt Everest approach. Come in Route 2 to East Main St and left onto Kemp. Very friendly staff, good security. Can get very busy, suggest reservations. Appalachian Trail and other hiking nearby. Close to beautiful Williamstown and terrific art galleries. Our rate was with a rally. Temporary power problem required some caution: should be fixed soon. We would stay again. - Wheelbarrows

Well-kept campground with kind of rough gravel roads and large grassy areas. Our site on top of the hill was fairly level and was the only one in the row with sewer. Water pressure was extremely low, wifi was good, Verizon signal was spotty and just barely usable for calls, not for data. - jbrucemagon
Aug 2014 - $47.00
This park is made up mostly of seasonal residents who make up about 80% of the sites. Even though we were located at the entrance, next to a main county road, it was quiet and the noise was minimal. We had full hookups, including sewer, but the electric service had serious problems. With 30 amp service we were only able to pull 14 amps without tripping our surge protector because of inadequate voltage. The voltage dropped to less than 104 volts anytime we tried to use an air conditioner. The internal roads are washed out with many potholes. We didn't have to navigate them because of our proximity to the main entrance. It's unlikely we would stay here again. - Rob&Terri

Beautiful park with gigantic, clean lake, waaaaaaaay off the main roads. Unfortunately they sent my 35 foot motorhome into a loop with spaces for 20 foot campers and the only way I could get out was to sacrifice my awning to an overhanging tree. If you go here plan to spend too much money for no amenities. All of the workers were very friendly but had no clue as to what a motorhome needs or what their campsites offer. Also be aware that "Golden Access" discounts refers to the NEW YORK State Golden Access card, not the Federal Golden Access Card. - FiatSpider79

Rated 5 out of 5 by bnbmike Multilayer works I typically wear XL and with a lot of Columbia, XL is a little big for my lean frame. I was out on a nice day and ended up in just the shell. It was plenty warm. May 2, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gerard Great product Excelente product . Columbia número one in the world March 23, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mom002 Great features My hubby loved it! Kept him dry and warm during skiing. Easy to take off layers when it got a bit warmer. Recommend this purchase 100%! March 13, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Farrier1016 Chest Pocket Opening Too Small Overall the jacket is great. Fits good and looks good. Only draw back is that the zippered chest pocket opening is too small. It's very difficult to get a standard mens wallet in and out of this pocket which is what I use it for. I had an older Columbia jacket very similar to this one and the chest pocket had an ample opening. March 3, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by NJMac Perfect for skiing This jacket performs great in different weather situations. The flexibility to use the insulation jacket separately from the outer shell jacket makes this a great product for multiple seasons. March 2, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by sdskier01 Good not Great The zipper has small teeth which makes it difficult to zip with gloves on. The shell could use inside pockets, up near the chest for cell phones, glasses etc. The jacket was warm an comfortable to wear, it needs a couple of little things to make it a great jacket. March 1, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by MattyT Bring the Cold Weather Back This is an excellent jacket. Unfortunately since I've received it the temp hasn't dropped below 40 degrees so I haven't been able to wear the jacket all together. The outer shell has a great look and color scheme that isn't too over the top enabling me to wear it to work or out for an evening. The liner/inner jacket is great for outdoor activities when it is cooler, but not cold enough to wear the whole interchange jacket. Highly Recommended! February 25, 2016

Rated 5 out of 5 by Erbie Great coat I'd been needing a new all around winter coat, and liked what I'd heard about the omni-heat. I've had an interchange coat in the past, but it's been a few years. Everything is as good or better than I remember. It hasn't been ridiculously cold yet, but I'm sure it will keep me as warm as I need to be. February 17, 2016

Rated 5 out of 5 by beagleboy I got one size larger than normal and it fits great. The large was a snug fit but the xl was perfect and I wear a 44 size suit coat. So I think it runs small February 5, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Boarder91 Great Wintersport Jacket I use this jacket for snowboarding and it works great. The inner layer with the omni heat keeps me warm even when I go night boarding. Outer layer keeps me dry. I like the armpit vents, they allow me to cool down a little when the sun is out. Overall great jacket for the price and fits great. January 22, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by DennisB Great Jacket Was very warm in Breckenfridge with just a base layer underneath January 22, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by UrbanExplorer My 3rd Columbia jacket My first coat was for winter wear only, purchased about 13 years ago and another one still worn in fall or spring was bought about 11 years ago. I am very satisfied with both coats. However, with this 3-in-1 interchange jacket that I purchased last week, I am a little disappointed -- it does not have a 2-way front zipper. I like this zipper type because it would be easier to pull something out of my pant pocket, such as keys or out of my holster to respond the notification on my phone. Ultimately, this jacket is warm enough when it's around minus 10 C outside recently. January 17, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by wahbus Get it, it works Warm, comfortable, looks good. Bought thru Columbia site because they offered tall xxl, made a difference in sleeve length which I needed vs xxl. slightly roomier shoulders too Replaced 1st generation Whirlibird. Wore it skiing this season in 20 to -5, wind chill -17 with thermals and cotton t-neck. I was never cold. Powder shirt is a nice feature, trapping heat and keeping out the snow and wind. Omni Heat works like they claim and in snowy conditions OmniTech stayed dry. Around town I wore the liner with a t shirt and mid weight sweater, no problem, no puffy down. Easy nite life gear Came back home to downpours and Omni Tech proved to be great rain gear. I recommend this 3 in 1 January 11, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5 by DickStrong My first Columbia purchase that I truly regret making I was waiting for very cold weather to wear this. It was only 41 degrees out and I wore this thinking it would surely keep me warm. Boy was I wrong....wearing this in 41 degree weather I was FREEZING! The following combination keeps me much warmer than this: - MEN'S ASCENDER™ HOODED SOFTSHELL JACKET - with a hoodie underneath and it is much lighter as well. I do not recommend this at all especially if you're looking for something to keep you warm. Those shiny silver dots don't do anything but look good. January 10, 2016
Rated 2 out of 5 by Buzzchew Men's Whirlibird™ Interchange Jacket I was expecting a warm lightweight coat. Columbia stands by the omi warm technology but I don't think it's worth it. I was recently in 10f weather and I can feel cold air on my back and underneath. The coat feels great though. January 6, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by AYK456 Excellent winter jacket This jacket is a very good fit for me. My body dimensions are at the border of S and M size. I am glad that I ordered S as I was slightly towards the smaller side of the divide. Before ordering, I was a little concerned with the fact that some people commented that the jacket runs a little small but I did not feel that in my case. The jacket is also extremely warm. I like the hyper blue color of my jacket. I was initially concerned that the color may be too gaudy but found the hyper blue color to be quite appealing and good for the ski tracks. January 3, 2016

Rated 5 out of 5 by Btheodoru Mens Whirlibird Very Warm, Regulates Body heat very well, I haven't had it in very cold weather yet but i am sure it will do very well. The workmanship is good... there are some loose threads that will need to be cut off. The only thing i am unsure of is the zipper tab, Seems kinda flimsy and i dont think it will stand the test of time. Overall great jacket! December 7, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Dot38 Repeat Customer I love the 3-in-1 jacket for the style, function, and most of all the warmth without feeling stuffed with a big huge coats. I bought one for all the family and we all love them. The fit is great and I love the versatility of changing up with the jackets or putting it all together for colder days. December 3, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by wvuguy Runs small Be VERY careful of sizing IF your overall build is anything other than dead trim. As a late middle-ager in less than ideal (weight-speaking) physical condition, there are probably jackets better suited for builds like mine. Otherwise, jacket is of typical high Columbia quality and looks good. November 28, 2015

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sepp It works I obtained this item the last week of October and have put it to good use as a carrier for the United States Postal Service in the District of Colombia. I have worn this in temperatures ranging from 40 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit. I have only worn it in the rain, with the inner liner removed. It keeps me dry. It is comfortable and light weight. If you're going to be donning this as a equipment as I do, don't be naive and wear this without some type of underwear to absorb your own perspiration or you'll be just as wet as without a rain jacket, less the cold (sauna anyone?). It keeps you warm and it keeps you dry. I have read reviews that it runs a bit small, and so I took my measurements as followed by Colombia's instructions and ordered the size which went with my applicable dimensions. I found that if anything, it runs slightly loose. I got the large. I measure a 44" chest, a 36" waist, and a 38" hips. I am 6' and 190lbs and muscular; I almost ordered the XL due to the reviews of people complaining about the snug fit. I think some people need to get off the couch... This is a great product and a clever and pragmatic design. Today the temperature was 50 degrees Fahrenheit and very breezy. And so today, I wore only the inner-lining with a cotton t-shirt underneath, and spent the entire day outdoors without complaint. November 13, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Shteevin1 Great jacket An awesome jacket that works very well and leaves plenty of room for snowboarding November 5, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by Tarlabgab Early fall, may be. Winter, I think not. The weather in this fall (2015) was nothing compared to the latest winter. I wore the inner layer but still feel quite cold though not chilling. If I wore both layer it would be too much for fall in my thought. So I really doubt that this would survive the coming winter. 80g insulation might be just not enough. October 12, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nschwa Great coat I bought this for my husbands birthday and he loves it. It's warm without being bulky and the cut of the coat is perfect. He has the gray with blue accents version. The colors are eye catching without being gaudy. Very happy with this purchase. October 7, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by ninechrome Great Winter Jacket Here in Wyoming our winter winds get crazy cold, and this jacket has already proved itself against the elements here. Love the jacket. The delivery from online ordering was fast too. 3 days it arrived after I ordered it. September 10, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by mwhite41 Great warm weather jacket It is great having a two-in-one jacket. It is beneficial for the coldest days of winter through the cool temperatures of spring and fall with just the inside layer. Great jacket, definitely recommend. March 10, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by Thore44 Whirlibird Jacket Not the Best The Whirlibird ski jacket is a poor product. The fit/form and insulation is worse than previous Columbia jackets I've had(Double Whammy and Whirlibird from the 1990's). "OMNI-HEAT" insulation is no better than previous insulation's and felt worse at times. The liner was poorly made. Both sleeves hang outside the shell and had to be pushed back into the shell. The liner is very flimsy, the chest pockets on the shell and liner are small. The main front zipper is difficult to use. There is no latch to attach lift tickets. The weather temperature was 10 to 20 degrees F and the jacket didn't keep me warm. February 23, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by dave34734 Lightweight and Warm - Excellent! We've been in the deep freeze in the east and I've been out shoveling snow. I didn't even notice the cold - that's how good this jacket is. February 6, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by CW10121 Tough but Small This is a tough jacket. Great for skiing and I can see where it will put up to years of abuse. The waterproofing and taped zipper work perfectly while the omni-heat does a great job of keeping the temperature inside just right! I do see one downside to this jacket. It runs small around the middle and long in the arms. I can typically wear a large with room to spare, but couldn't even get the snow skirt to stay buttoned through use. February 1, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by jashhol cool design but lacks in warmth I've had quite a few Columbia winter coats including 3 in 1 s. However this jacket seems perfect for spring or autumn weather.. The inside layer actually felt kind of cold once I stepped out until it warmed up after 10 mins of walking.. I would not suggest getting stuck in a blizzard or any cold weather w this jacket. Dissapointed winter jacket but I'll keep it for spring and sadly try a different brand of winter jacket. January 12, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by JasonTX Warm, but not suffocating For the sizing, I am 6'7" and 255lbs. I got the XL Tall and the fit is great. I do not have very wide shoulders, but if I had somewhat broad shoders, I would need to go up to XXL Tall. The jacket is of excellent quality. I am super picky about seams, materials, etc. I get too hot in fleece lined coats, I get to where I feel like I am suffocating. I am not a fan of very stiff coats/jackets. With all that said, this jacket is perfect. The jacket is lightweight and very warm. The inner liner alone is an excellent look and still keeps you warm down to at least about 30° (no rain or wind) as I just recently found out. So soft, yet warm. There are so many pockets throughout both the liner and full coat. The hood is not insulated, but will keep you dry and appears to be windproof. Will just have to wear a beanie in extreme cold temps. Overall, I am super excited about this coat. So far has been great. I got the blue azul, and the color turned out nicely. I Highly recommend this coat. January 10, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by WorldTravelSunnyfish Excellent Jacket - Highly Recommend I purchased this jacket for my husband and was concerned about the previous reviews regarding the fit being slightly small. I ordered his normal size and it was a perfect fit. He says the jacket is very warm and fits like a glove. This jacket replaced an older Columbia jacket he owned for probably 10+ years. He is very satisfied with this replacement and he's hard to please when it comes to jackets/outdoor clothing. January 4, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by vince66 Disappointed I bought this jacket to replace my old Columbia titanium jacket which was great. I find this jacket not vary warm at all. I have warn it in temperatures in the low 20's with a heavy sweat shirt under it and was cold. I find the out side pocket opening very small. I can hardly get my hand in the pocket. I have great difficulty putting my knit hat in the pocket. The inside pocket could be deeper. Several times my cell phone has fallen out of the pocket when I took the jacket off. January 1, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by ChiDude30 The best winter jacket Hands down to Columbia for their Omni-Tech concept and products. I have lived in Chicago for many years and have had many different winter coats from other brands, including The North Face, and none of them have been as warm and functional as this one. This jacket is truly breathable, which is awesome for those of us that go in and out of the cold when commuting to work. I highly recommend this product. I couldn't be any happier! December 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BravoSierra61 Impressive Performance I am a Florida native but now live in Minnesota. I had been using my old Summit Crest I bought about 15 years ago. It was the standard by which I judge all others. This new jacket sets a new standard. It's much lighter and the new Omni Tech liner allows me to wear short sleeve shirts in sub zero weather with very low wind chill temperatures and still be completely warm. Columbia makes fantastic products that stand head and shoulders above all of their competitors! December 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Soumya worth every penny! Got it as a gift for my husband and he is really very happy with this jacket as it is very warm, waterproof and cozy! This is a must have jacket!! u can use it in all kind of season as its interchangeable.. It's a well designed jacket.. Worth every penny!!!!! December 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by ThatGuy19 Toasty Warm Calgary. Night time. -15C. As I headed out for a late night dog walk I realized it was colder out than I had expected. I had only a tee shirt on under my new winter jacket. It took a minute to heat up but once it did my jacket (and the shiny thermo liner) made me feel like a baked potato wrapped in foil being kept warm in the oven. Great feeling while out in the dark cold. December 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by OwenWolfe Must Add to Your Jacket Collection I live in a state where the weather can be 60 one day and 10 another. This jacket gives me the flexibility to adapt to any weather and had a chance to wear this in the rain two days ago and I was completely dry! It is Breathable and Waterproof and WARM! I love all the other thought that went into this jacket like the "Pit-Breather!" ( Zippers under your underarms on the jacket to give you so Air) I will be getting from from this company and I highly suggest this Jacket! December 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bsmith66 Omni-heat Really Works!! I purchased this jacket in preparation for the rough northern Minnesota winters. I need a jacket that keeps out the wind, keeps in the heat, but is breathable at the same time. The whirlibird does just that! You can really feel the inside of the jacket heat up as your body lets off heat!! Be carful wearing It in the car because you will heat up fast!! Love this jacket and will continue to buy omni-heat products from Columbia! December 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Surfer77 Rain/snow or shine This jacket was a great purchase. The price tag is steep, but I know i'll get many many years out of this jacket. Already I've received several compliments on its style and fit. The outer shell is perfect as a rain coat. The water beads up nicely and the inner liner is great by itself for mild winter days. The thermal layer is awesome and keeps me warm in sub zero wind chills. Snow started blowing last night and I cannot wait to hit the slopes in this jacket!!! November 19, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Mattdm Horrible function The zippers on the liner are constantly getting stuck on the liner itself. You'll then have to spend 10-30 minutes trying to get them unstuck. November 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kevhead Whirlibird is the way to go! I got this jacket two years ago, replacing an older Columbia that didn't fit anymore. Living in the Midwest, it gets very cold in the winter. Last winter especially (several sub-zero days and 80"+ of snow). My Columbia Whirlibird never let me down. Always kept me cozy and warm. I highly recommend this jacket if you're considering buying it. October 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by 8iNIFINITi8 This jacket is awesome !!! It's a raincoat without the liner. the liner by it self is a great light weather jacket. Put the two together & you get the ultimate winter jacket. That's just my two cents. October 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by USAF78 Great Coat Great shell for rainy Seattle area weather with a warm liner for cold damp winter days. October 17, 2014

Women and children in Afghanistan suffer every day from abuse, poverty, lack of health care and other horrors. But their plight is only heard when the situation is gruesome enough to merit media coverage.

By Daniel-Dylan Böhmer, OZY
In Kabul, police station number 1 rises like a castle from the glittering, stinky chaos of Mandavi Bazaar, protected b...
This disconnect between Washington's much-advertised support for women's rights and its actual disdain for women was not lost upon canny Afghans. From early on, they recognized that the Americans were hypocrites at heart.
Programs and services to care for and educate vulnerable children need the unanimous support of a government that understands the long-term benefits of doing so.
I visited Maryam when her baby was 2 weeks old. I had been meaning to go sooner, but the steep, icy roads up to her 'house' in Kabul prohibited an earlier visit.
"I don't think there is a civil society in Afghanistan. There are many people from overseas who are working in Afghanistan, but they will leave as soon as there is some turbulence."
"The most important factor is the conservatism that prevails with respect to social issues. Lack of education and economic poverty are other factors. Women are consistently used as a means of labor in families."
"The key to our success, as testified by history, is our national unity. We must protect our Islamic unity and brotherhood and adhere to it."
"Poverty, violence, ignorance, plunder, and deception are the fruits of the class society, based on profit-making at any cost."
"Against such a backdrop of fundamental, structural changes, the Taliban will not be able to dominate Afghanistan again. The free people of Afghanistan would never allow that scenario to be repeated."
"My greatest fear is that after 10 years of efforts to promote women's rights, a group may take over the political power that does not believe in women's identity or even the fact that they are human beings."
"We are living in a society where political despotism, social and economic injustice, unbalanced culture and education and cultural and identity authoritarianism prevail."
"I only fear instability and insecurity. I fear that the insecurity may lead the political powers to strike some kind of bargain that trades away women's rights. It would be a tragedy for women to lose their legal status and rights in this political game."
"The courts should be one of the important sources for women to rely on in this country. Unfortunately, the courts are very corrupt and are permeated by a strongly misogynist attitude, which seeks to use gaps in the law to punish women."
"International statistics indicate that we will have around 400,000 to 500,000 unemployed people after the withdrawal of the international forces and a fall in foreign aid."
"My two daughters were forced out of education under the Taliban. We were forced to migrate to Pakistan and my family had to weave carpets with me to make a living. It was a hard work that we had to do in awful, unhealthy underground workshops."
"The traditional society is one of the biggest deterrent factors. Even educated members of society attempt to prevent women from working outside the home. Another factor is the extensive level of illiteracy, and general lack of skills, amongst women."
"Our society is not an intellectually independent one. It has not taken decisions for itself; others have always decided on its behalf. But nonetheless, I believe that the young generation of today will not be prepared to accept such a dark and evil scenario."
"My greatest fear is the extent to which people are disappointed and disenchanted with the present situation."
"My greatest fear is that we may return to the pre-1992 dark days with the impending withdrawal of the international forces from Afghanistan."
"The real question is: When we talk about reconciliation, are we talking about real political compromises? Or is it about negotiations and reconciliation for the survival and interests of the ruling establishment?"
"The best development has been the growth of a democratic political atmosphere. We now have the elections, human rights laws and standards, democratic structures, civil society and institutions that can manifest a democratic rule."

Welcome – Cliff Wright
is a Sussex-based illustrator, painter, sculptor and teacher, well-known for his work on two of the Harry Potter book covers. His Illustration work has been published all over the world and in many forms. Although he is best known for his creations in children's books, the artwork of Cliff Wright has appeared in Advertising campaigns, magazines, greetings card and Fine Art Reproductions. Most recently he has devoted time to his lifelong interests in sculpture, photography and film making. He has a wealth of teaching experience and his Nature of Seeing series of drawing-based workshops and courses are highly regarded
Through these many and varied creative explorations Cliff has discovered a passion for authentic seeing or reaching beyond the limitations of the mind-made world we create around us. Over many years he has developed a highly regarded series of ongoing workshops and retreats entitled Nature of Seeing. In a few simple drawing exercises it can be revealed that we draw that which we think we see – so it follows that for the most part we are seeing through the limitations of thought.
To stop moving around, to sit quietly on the grass, to switch off the world and come back to the earth, to allow the eye to see a willow, a bush, a cloud, a leaf , is an unforgettable experience.

Do you have a long-term delegation strategy? This is the secret to moving more into "the zone" and getting out of those activities you don't enjoy or don't do well.
Recently, I recorded two podcasts on the subject of delegation. The first dealt with the principles of delegation. The second suggested how you might delegate even if you don't have a staff.

So at a recent doctor appointment for LO (10 months) we discovered that my already tiny little peanut dropped from the 10th percentile in weight to the 4th . The doctor guessed its a combination of burning calories from being more active with crawling, cruising and being very close to walking and the fact that she's on a formula strike and refuses to take a bottle. He figures because we are exploring new tastes with solids and she is on Neocate for milk and soy intolerance (not a formula that she took willingly, I'm guessing because it doesn't taste like regular formula) that she just doesn't like the taste anymore because she knows there's something better. I can usually get her to take an ounce or two but then she tosses the bottle to the side and screams or just goes about doing what she was doing and won't take any more. His solution was to continue to offer formula but when she wont take any more to give almond milk as well as a few other diet changes to maximize her calorie intake. She goes back and forth on which she prefers but her milk intake as a whole has increased which is a very good thing.
Anyways, on to my question. I have been tossing out the almond milk after an hour as you would formula if she doesn't finish it. It just now occurred to me that almond milk could have a longer life at room temp and that I could possibly wasting a ton of almond milk. Does anyone know how long it stays good at room temp? And can I pop it back into the fridge for later if she only drinks a few sips? I have googled but come up with only answers on how to store a carton of almond milk and what types need to be refrigerated. Maybe this is a silly question and I'm just over thinking it. Any help is appreciated!

TV Ratings: CBS wins Friday, 'Smallville' tops 'Dollhouse' finale
Fast National ratings for Friday, January 29, 2010.
Even with all three procedures delivering lackluster ratings, CBS had little trouble winning the Friday night ratings race.
Meanwhile, the series finale of "Dollhouse" lost to a new episode of The CW's "Smallville."
Among adults 18-49, CBS averaged a 1.8 rating, beating the 1.5 rating for ABC and NBC's 1.4 rating. FOX's 1.1 rating and the 0.8 rating for The CW followed in the key demographic.
Overall, CBS averaged an estimated 8.34 million viewers to go with a 5.2 rating/9 share. NBC's 4.2/7 and ABC's 3.8/7 followed. FOX took fourth with a 1.7/3, beating the 1.3/2 for The CW.
CBS started the night in first with a 5.1/9 for "Ghost Whisperer," which also did a 1.9 rating to win the key demo. NBC's "Law & Order" was second with a 4.4/8. ABC's "Supernanny" finished third. The CW's "Smallville" did a 1.6/3 to finish fourth, with 2.52 million viewers and a 1.1 demo rating. That left the series finale of Joss Whedon's "Dollhouse" in fifth, where it did a 1.4/2 with 2.16 million viewers and a 0.8 demo rating.
In the 9 p.m. hour, NBC's "Dateline" and CBS' "Medium" both did a 5.0/9, though CBS had the advantage in both viewers and the 18-49 demo. ABC's "Shark Tank" was third with a 2.7/5. On FOX, the season premiere of "Kitchen Nightmares" improved on its lead-in to a 2.0/3, with 3.28 million viewers and a 1.4 demo rating. The CW's repeat of "Smallville" trailed.
ABC moved into first overall at 10 p.m. with a 5.6/10 for "20/20." CBS' "Num3rs" did a 5.5/10 and actually outdrew ABC's newsmagazine in total viewers and in the 18-49 demo. NBC's "The Jay Leno Show" was third.
All ratings information comes from preliminary Fast National Nielsen data, which includes live and same-day DVR viewing. All numbers are subject to change.

More information on URMC
UR Medicine's Golisano Children's Hospital and Strong Memorial Hospital's Obstetrics Division were recently recognized by the National Safe Sleep Hospital Certification Program as "Gold Safe Sleep Champions," the highest designation, for their commitment to best practices and education on infant safe sleep. They are the first and only hospitals in New York State to receive the title.
What if, every single day, hospital care was being reimagined so that it was just a little bit better? A little bit safer? A little more logical? What if it were designed in ways that so clearly showed we had our patients' biggest (and smallest) concerns in mind, right from the start?
Anticipating surgery is nerve-racking enough for a patient and her family—and that's without added worries that her operating room team might be feeling frantic in the moments leading up to her procedure. Eager to "slow down" and spend time where it matters most, UR Medicine's Perioperative faculty and staff have joined forces with their academic medical colleagues from MCIC Vermont, a hospital-owned liability insurer.
It's electric! Boogie woogie. Over the past year or so, a pioneering team made up of staff from Strong Memorial Hospital, Highland Hospital, Highlands at Brighton, Highlands Living Center, and ePartner planned and implemented the capability to refer patients electronically to nursing homes across Monroe County. Talk about an "Electric Slide"!
Just a month ago, Strong Memorial Hospital rolled out the "Unit-based Performance Program" (UPP), a major initiative that will—by braiding the three together—help inpatient units better coordinate their improvement efforts around 1) patient safety, 2) the ICARE experience, and 3) operational efficiency.

How Would Humans Respond to First Contact from an Alien World?by Nancy Atkinson
According to Star Trek lore, it is only 51 years until humans encounter their first contact with an alien species. In the movie "Star Trek: First Contact," on April 5, 2063, Vulcans pay a visit to an Earth recovering from a war-torn period (see the movie clip below.) But will such a planet-wide, history-changing event ever really take place? If you are logical, like Spock and his Vulcan species, science points towards the inevitability of first contact. This is according to journalist Marc Kaufman, who is a science writer for the Washington Post and author of the book "First Contact: Scientific Breakthroughs in the Hunt for life Beyond Earth." He writes that from humanity's point of view, first contact would be a "harbinger of a new frontier in a dramatically changed cosmos."
What are some of the arguments for and against the likelihood of first contact ever taking place and what would the implications be?
"One argument against first contact is from those who say there is no other life in the Universe," said Kaufman, speaking to Universe Today via phone, "and with that is the Fermi paradox, which says that if there is so much life out there, why hasn't it visited us yet? That was first posited back in the 1950's and with everything we've learned since then, it seems rather presumptuous and Earth-centric to say that because no one has come to Earth, there is no life out there."
Kaufman argues the Universe is so vast, the number of exoplanets is so huge – with the number of exoplanets in habitable zones now gaining in numbers almost daily – and we now understand that all the makings for the building blocks of life are out in space, so it defies logic to argue there is no other life out there.
Another argument against first contact states there might be microbial life elsewhere in the Universe, but it is not intelligent. "This is where the Fermi paradox comes in even more," Kaufman said. "It certainly is true — as far as we know — that no intelligent life has made contact with Earth. But when you look at the amount of time we've been a technologically advanced society, it has only been a few hundred years. In the vastness of time, that is a pitifully small amount of time – truly nothing."
In the immensity of cosmological time, Kaufman said, it is quite possible that microbial life emerged and evolved a billion years ago on another world and we missed coinciding with it, as civilizations could have come and gone.
"But all the makings are there and unless we want to say that Earth was made through divine creation or only through an unbelievable set of circumstances this is the only place in the Universe where life began, it just seems hugely, hugely implausible," Kaufman said.
So, Kaufman says, the best, most logical argument is that life exists beyond Earth and in some instances includes what we would consider intelligence.
"If you have microbial life and billions of planets in habitable zones, the logic says that some of them will advance like we did," Kaufman said. "There's no reason to say that evolution is exclusive to Earth. It feels very 14th or 15th century-Earth-centric to say that we are the only place where there is intelligent life."
Our continued scientific understanding, and in particular, the recent ongoing finding of so many exoplanets, has been a real revolution in our understanding of the cosmos, Kaufman said, and it is a huge boost to the logic of finding life elsewhere.
"It was hypothesized for decades, if not centuries that other planets were out there," he said. "Now that we are finding planets almost every day, from a scientific perspective, it shows us that if the science is pointing in a certain direction, you just need to have the technology and the knowledge catch up to that hypothesis."
Kaufman says that like the surge in finding exoplanets, astrobiology is likely the next area of science where breakthroughs will happen.
"Scientists almost unanimously believe there is other life out there, but we just don't have the technology to find it yet," he said. "Even with the recent potential cuts in NASA's budget for planetary missions, and even if NASA is not able to send up as many missions, there is a broad movement going on in college campuses and institutes – from working on synthetic life, to studies in cosmology, and astrochemistry — all of those things are moving forward because there is a real sense that something is within reach. This area of science is just going to blossom."
So if tomorrow (or on April 5, 2063) a spaceship shows up, how would we respond?
"On one level, I'd hope there would be a huge amount of wonder and awe and a recognition of the vastness of the Universe. But I also imagine there would be a lot of defensiveness, as well," said Kaufman, referring to some, like Stephen Hawking, who say we shouldn't send messages out into space — because if a more technically advanced civilization comes to Earth, the outcome for the less advanced (us) would likely be bad.
But Kaufman has hope that Earthlings would welcome a visit.
"Look at the continuing fascination of Roswell or UFOs," he said. "Throughout history, humans have looked to the skies and thought that we've experienced something 'out there' – be it angels or gods or spaceships. There is, I believe, a deep human craving that we aren't alone, and that would be a significant part of our response."

Astrobiology, exoplanets, Marc Kaufman
Great article. The scientific community would certainly be excited to learn about them, and the Holly Rollers would be excited to force God down their throats.
I'd want to hear the aliens' views on the 'meaning of life'. Also, I think they shouldn't come to Earth until humans resolve all the main issues such as poverty, pollution, energy production, etc… I think if humanity would ever get a hold on super advanced tech, it would just annihilate itself, at the present state.
"Meaning of life" is individually resolved"
It appears that even bacteria actively disagree with this statement. One need look no further than the adaptive divergence in experimental populations of pseudomonas fluorescens to see that this statement is purely a rhetorical regurgitation that looks good, sounds good, but is inaccurate.
Meaning of life…Man is the Universe's means of being self-aware. And if that is not it then there is no meaning to life. You just are because you are. Sit back drink a beer and enjoy it.
We can barely communicate with other species on our own planet (and struggle with language barriers within our own.) Alien psychology may be so different than our own that they could be sending the universe messages in ways they think is obvious, but we haven't thought to investigate. Maybe, the desire to communicate with other interstellar species is a rare psychological trait that we possess that others don't.
Maybe aliens are passing by Earth right now on their way to vacation on Rigel 7, and don't think we are worth bothering with.
I think it's possible that we are the first, or one of the first to evolve.
I'm assuming the early universe wouldn't hold any life sustaining materials (not only water, but also heavier elements). It would take a lot of super nova's to create the heavier materials and spread them around the universe. Combine that with a fairly low probability that intelligent live can evolve, then it's possible that there is intelligent life that is only slightly behind us or slightly a head of us on the evolutionary scale.
I don't think there's any question that there is other life in the universe, at the very least microbial life. I would posit we'll find some sort of life in our Solar System, most likely on Titan, Europa or Enceladus. Coming in contact with other intelligent species is a few hundred if not thousand years in the future given our current technological and economic limitations.
All these worlds are yours, except Europa. Attempt no landing there. Use them together. Use them in peace. I think we better stay away from Europa.
All these worlds are yours, except Europa. Attempt no landing there. Use them together. Use them in peace. I think we better stay away from Europa.
I'm European, more exactly continental. I don't want to stay away.
If aliens come here within 51 years, I doubt they were expecting intelligent life when they left home, assuming they'll be traveling sub-luminar speeds. Meaning, the original intend would be kolonisation of Earth.
There have been many comments here and elsewhere starting with "if they are able to visit us, they would be so advanced that …", followed by, say, non-conclusive statements. But to your counterargument about the distance I would add the following scenario:
In order to travel from their distant planet to our planet, the aliens had to exhaust their resources to such a degree, that they are not able to do much when they arrive, but they need our help simply to survive. And, may be, their home planet would look to us like the late Soviet Union: a third world country with rockets.
People would be happy. Governments and (especially) military wouldn't. God (or whoever) help us if we do contact life and the US military are still running the show.
Not everyone will be happy (though I don't buy the conspiracy theory that we'd all freak out, and that society/religion would collapse, either).
Some will refuse to believe it. (see above)
But every (I repeat, *every*) government will jockey for some kind of advantage in this scenario.
Oh, and the 'US Military' doesn't 'run the show' anywhere, they answer to a civilian government, and executes its policies, not their own. Not every country can say that…
They might "answer" to a civilian government, but you're extremely naive if you honestly think that means a damn. A rigged-by-propaganda vote every 4 or 5 years doesn't really constitute accountability.
You're right on the other points though.
I think once we bridge the communication gap with Dolphins and Whales … We will take some major steps forwards. MAJOR STEPS.
What I find curious is why the human experimenters don't try to emulate dolphin sounds. By doing that they might elicit responses and figure out what dolphins are saying by speaking and doing it their way instead of trying to get dolphins to do it our way.
How do you know they are not? We've made a lot of stride. There is one thing – a number of years back, when they tried doing that with Orcas — if memory is correct, it backfired and sent the whale into a frenzy. The problem is – what is "echo/sonar" -vs- communications? One is shooting in the dark so to speak.
I'm amazed that there are still people who can arrogantly assume that there is no other life in the universe. I just don't understand how people can really accept that.
It's that old assumption that we are the centre of the universe.
Kind of like the people who are amazed there are still people who arrogantly assume there is no God.
We absolutely know life exists. We can say some testable, observable things about how life came to arise here, and extend that to how probable it is elsewhere. We can in principle, go look for it. At least in this solar system.
We can say none of those things about deities, at this time.
You're reading-into posts too much, modal logic is boring.
You're reading-into posts too much, modal logic is boring.
I don't think we say that anymore.
We've finally evolved to see "life" does not need to equal "Intelligent Life". It means cellular to microbial, to simple life basic life forms, bacterial and such.
I just find it curious that we equate "space traveling aliens" to "advanced", in "spirituality" and "peaceful" and such.
Why? We have zero foundation for that thought. None what so ever.
"We've finally evolved to see "life" does not need to equal "Intelligent Life". It means cellular to microbial, to simple life basic life forms, bacterial and such."
Some of us are simply *more interested* in finding intelligent life, as cool as any life unrelated to Earth would be. But if we find simple forms on Mars, we won't be using words like 'contact.'
Otherwise, I agree with the rest of your post.
Yet everything needs to be money and profit! When we rid of the monetary system and politics, we can start being technologically advanced.
/end rant.
Very good article Nancy, thanks
Do not hold your breath on that one. You would not look good in that shade of blue.
To be replaced with…what? Those things exist for a reason, and those reasons have not gone away.
When we can decipher bird language(s), I will believe that we might have some hope of communicating with aliens. Intra species communications is weak and inter-gender communications is weaker.
Well we have learned to understand Bumble Bee Communication. We do understand to a degree bird calls and what they mean. Mating calls, Warning calls and such.
What I would like us to do is, start working to understand better Whales and Dolphins. That would be a major step.
I protest the inter-gender comment…My wife and I yelled at one another just last night. At least I refrained from dragging her around by her hair…
Tell that to my birds. They are probably as frustrated as the dolphins at my inability to understand their commands.
Animals are good at reading body language. Unfortunately we are advancing in the direction where our body language is being reduced to the use of emoticons
Sometimes we need a push to think beyond ourselves and our own backyard. As for "refuel" and the nearest star. That is assuming there is "fuel" there to be used.
Let's hope they don't have the same reptilian brain as ours
Or it will be awe first then becoming very awful very quickly
Let's hope they don't have the same reptilian brain as ours
Or it will be awe first then becoming very awful very quickly
We don't have 'reptilian brains'. So umm ….
Sure, we are reptiles.
But if you mean the triune brain, it is outdated.
Well, I hope to be still alive when the Vulcans come. I'll be 97 then, so the chance isn't that good.
If humans continue on the path they are going, the only life to meet any aliens will be cockroaches, rats and bacteria…
And human apes. We are a lot more successful than cockroaches and rats.
I find it interesting that you are saying it's impossible for a civilization like our own to find us, because they would not bother looking, while at the same time pointing out that we are looking.
It makes no sense to assume just because they have found us that they are some utopian society.
Terrill, you certainly read much into a simple statement. Not much that it actually says though! I didn't mention impossibilities. I didn't mention not looking or that we are. So maybe you replied to the wrong person.
Also, I didn't say Utopian. I only said with those attributes, they would be hard pressed to be violent warlords.
I don't necessarily disagree or agree with all that. But I note that we have "induced life" (made self-replicating molecular systems) in our laboratories. (Say, those DNA strands where X builds Y and Y builds X.)
However, we have not yet made evolving life. Even less evolving life that would be robust enough to be a feasible pathway once taken. I bet Shostak Lab will be the first to do that.
The truth is, we're no where near qualified to receive a star on our forehead for creating life . 'Inducing life' looks like the equivalent of happening onto an an old tire to play with, then watch it roll down the road while saying we've built a car. To be brutally honest with ourselves, shouldn't we get at least a single cell, (complete with it's mind boggling thousands of simultaneous processes all working together) going from scratch before we call our product 'life' in any fashion?
I love to read these threads though, and daydream of the possibilities; it certainly give a break from the harsh truths alluded to by Peristroika.

Skip to comments.Fox News Live Thread: Candidates to Sell Conservative Credentials at Republican Debate
Posted on 10/21/2007 2:19:55 PM PDT by My Favorite HeadacheEdited on 10/21/2007 3:12:06 PM PDT by Lead Moderator. [history]
WASHINGTON One of the most contested states in presidential politics is center stage Sunday night as FOX News airs a Republican candidates primary debate in Orlando, Fla., that is sure to be used by the 2008 contenders as a chance to cater to the party's conservative base.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
If you get on camera please say Ron Paul is a nut if you get the chance.
I hope someone gets some screenshots or videos of you on so you can see.
Always a good day when a FReeper appears on TV.
When does the debate start and on what channels?
Fox News Channel at 8 p.m. (eastern)
I didn't even know there was one on tonight. Couldn't tell ya. I'm stuck at work.
Can't they schedule these things around the Stillers v. Broncos game?
OK thanks a bunch!
I forgot the start time.
They generally go postal if graphics are added to these threads. Personally, I think they add a lot to the discussion.
Does Fox News have an Internet link you can watch it on?
Usually, if you go to their home page at the start of the debate or slightly before there will be a direct link.
It's game 7 Indians v Red Sox, it starts at 8:00 as well.
And a candidate should not have to "sell their conservative credentials" they should be known for them already.
I mean come on Rudy talking Conservative is like a Vegetarian sharing BBQ chicken recipes...
Crist will be there, wandering around.
Tell him he has already lost a couple millon voters with his Global Warming blather.
Then brush him by.
See if you can get some focus on the REAL conservatives for a change!!!
Hope there is some serious debate tonight,if not,I'll go to bed.
I was listening to Glenn Beck take an online survey matching him to which Republican candidate he should vote for. Survey said Tom Tancredo. Glenn just said "Can't do it." Alas, why? Hunter and Tancredo are principled and should be given a chance.
And kick Mel Martinez in the yams if ya see him there too!
I won't be strongarmed or bullied into following that example.
Sorry. Still on the work 'puter and the pic didn't show up. Yet another reason for all aspects of the events to be posted on these threads: People at work who hope to catch what they can when they get home on FR.
>I mean come on.
Rudy talking Conservative is like a Vegetarian sharing BBQ chicken recipes...
FReeper quote of the day.
With the 7th game of the ALCS on, think I'll have to tape this debate and watch it later. Most folks here in Colorado will be watching the Broncos.
According to the website there is, but I don't see the link:
"Watch the Republican presidential candidates primary debate live on FOX News Channel and FOXNews.com at 8:00 p.m. ET."
Found a seat.
Once upon a time there was some validity to asking the live threads be graphics free when broadband was rare. I still think it's nice to keep the size of the file to a sensible size - 100kb or so. They do add to the enjoyment of the thread.
ALL: Have YOU donated to the Freepathon?
Fox News, huh, anyone, bothering with this one. I'll chalk it up as Fox News giving Rudy another freebie as their tabloid moderators go after the conservatives.
Uhoh, they want us to text our vote.
Is this a debate or American Idol??? ;o)
It's already started : All Rudy All The Time with foxnews continues.
They found two people to interview to prop up Rudy. Geesh
And tear down Fred.
They are basically saying its a 2 person race.
Romney and Rudy.
This is a comedy. They are knocking Thompson tonight bigtime.

What did you expect???
The media wants ROCK STARS, not presidential candidates...
Imagine a New York-based reporter pushing a New York Candidate?
Oh well...it was just an irrelevant photo anyway. :) I figured that if they were gonna go postal, I'd drive em to the post office. :)
Of course they have on Forbes--who is a........
Rudy supporter!
*surprise*!!!! (not)
So they've decided for us: Rudy.
The GOP/Stupid Party is letting the Democrat Media write the story-line, while Republicans, and Americans in general, treat politics like it's a game show.
We're well on the way towards a revival of the Soviet politburo system...in which you have elections, yes...but the results are already pre-determined because the elites have decided who you get to vote for.
It was great having a free republic while it lasted.
Thanks for posting and God Speed! I forgot about this until now. Woo! Hoo!
OK, I missed all that and everything. phtttt!
Rooty/Mutt 08...because the Rye Nose what the MSM wants!
Rudy being nominated will be a train wreck for the GOP. Not even considering his liberal viewpoints on abortion and immigration, there's his marriages, his divorces, his alienation from his kids, dressing in drag, Bernie Kerik...yada, yada, yada.
Romney and Rudy."
Sounds like it might be a "skip this one" type debate. I am really sick of any of the media types trying to insist everyone is for either of them. I don't hear it, I don't see it, and neither does ANYONE I know. Makes ya wonder if our votes really matter at all.
It's like the polls that are taken, comprised of 5 to 7 hundred people, means that the majority of that poll voting for one person, means the same percentage of voters in that state or caucus would vote for that person. Its ludicrous!

What's an ALCS?
Like h*ll. It's up to us to inform everyone we know who Rudy really is. We DO still have the power, just need to utilize it.
