Years ago I worked construction with a guy I'll describe as "looks like a redneck". The day's discussion was going along normal when out of the blue he gave me that "look". The "look" that told me what he was about to say was serious, off topic but still serious, to him. I stopped, looked his way. He cocked his head slightly and said "we put a man on the moon". "We put a man on the moon" he repeated. I didn't know of this interest. He seemed truly impressed with that fact. The enormity of that project captured his wonder and respect.
As we worked to assemble a new home there were other Americans who could assemble a ship to reach the moon. This impressed him.
Ten years older and from the time when model A fords were almost new he was awed. It shows you never know another one's mind. Then I thought of my father's life in this text. Born 4 years after the Wright brother's flight, to a man on the moon and 747s a common sight.
Mars rover! I'm impressed because We Built This

Chris Mattews is a tool.

Again he sets there comfortably dumb while a repug takes over his show. After his repug guest repeated it four times we now know that it's Obama's fault woman could lose control of their health care. To understand how bad chrisco is at controlling the Matthews Misinformation Hour turn off the audio and see who gets the face time. It ain't chris or his other guest.
I've used my quota of cuss words today, none of which will be used here. time to cool down. When I'm home alone watching Hardball it's easy to go over the top on CM.
