   Philly airport claims to be America’s second fave. I found it unbelievably confusing. I was not the only one. There was a woman wandering round looking like the Non- Flying Dutchman, She was utterly distraught. And I had to run to get the flight to Dulles*. I like Key West Airport. It’s a shed with a taxi rank. That’s all you need. The rest is bollocks to justify the time you spend in the pen.

   *This was after being hollered at by a TSA wonk who was X-raying my laptop. I stepped over the yellow line of death to retrieve my Thinkpad. And hell followed in it’s trail. All I wanted to do was pick it up nicely without having to lean to far… So I”m like a centimetre over the line and she’s shouting at me and about to get the TASER out and my flight leaves like real soonish. It was the TSA antics that delayed me.

   Why only zero?

   Why not go off into the Twilight Zone and award Romney minus votes?

   The United States is so bent it has become a joke - a sick joke.

   Meanwhile the allegedly-conservative pundits are triangulating up one side and down the other, trying to figure out what happened.

   They were OK till they hit Side Four. Now they seem to be looping.

   Although some of them have looped once too often and gone clear round the bend. For instance, ***the Tea Party is now the Party of Rage:***

   ‘One of those pundits is former President Reagan Speechwriter, Peggy Noonan who stated on CBS Face the Nation, Sunday November 11th that , “The tea party style of rage is not one that wins over converts and makes people lean towards them and say, ‘I want to listen to you.’”‘

   Julie - as we both know…..

   When a conservative starts making friends with the msm (going on to their shows - gets invited to social events and so on) they do not stay conservatives very long - their new social life means it is not an option.

   It is the same with libertarians - and with universities as well as the media.

   Want to keep being invited to social events and so on?

   Then join the Social Justice parade.

   And start telling lies - about how Tea Party protests (in reality models of civility) are “rage” events.

   An honest conservative does finds the invites to CBS shows (and so on) dry up.

   So the choice is.

   Do not get invited any more - or start telling lies.

   Peggy Noonan has gone for option two.

   Otherwise she would have to stay home - and not be invited on television any more.

   And that is hard when you have been a big name in politics.

   Yes…good point. I wonder if she actually believes what she is saying.
