then ties this experience to his tax plan! Have noticed Karl Rove has been downrating it on YouTube, so make sure you don't forget to rate it, favorite & leave a comment! Check out the shy but proud smile.

I'm not sure why the usual blue outline doesn't show now, it did in the preview- I hope if you click on the image (it just worked for me) & it somehow doesn't work, that this will (plant, I think, pointed us to this a day or so ago- it's SO great!)

himself and looking well-rested too.
By rating it, do you mean checking the stars? That's what I always do with Wes videos. How can you tell who is rating it down?
what a real leader sounds like. These were from the Milken Global Conference, 24 April 2006

I love his speeches........so happy you enjoyed it. He is THE man.
If I don't have a candidate I can support in this most important election of our lifetime, I'm going to bust.
Ruth had a link to a nice clip of Wes earlier today.
I know one thing I hope we do different this time is we network with clarkies across the US to "cover" his appearances. We will be the media, take the video, pics, etc and get them up and online for all to spread around. We lost a lot of treasures last time around that were never captured.
Ice,
'Jump the shark' is probably not the phrase you wanted to use here.
Jumping the shark is a metaphor that was originally used to denote the tipping point at which a TV series is deemed to have passed its peak, or has introduced plot twists that are illogical in terms of everything that has preceded them. Once a show has "jumped the shark", fans sense a noticeable decline in quality or feel the show has undergone too many changes to retain its original charm. The term has also evolved to describe other areas of pop culture, including movie series, music, acting celebrities, or authors for whom a drastic change was seen as the beginning of the end. These changes are often attempts to attract their fans' waning attention with over-the-top statements or increasingly overt appeals to sex or violence. Some have broadened its use to simply describe any decline in appeal for the subject in question, without requiring a significant "jump the shark" moment as justification.
Cause the episode when Fonzie "Jumped the Shark" on waterskis was the exact episode when Happy Days started to.. er.. suck. :)
he didn't say when I RAN for President? Sorry to question you, but that could be easy to miss. Couldn't it? :/
Once in a while you get shown the light, In the strangest of places if you look at it right. - Hunter/Garcia
"When I run for President" does not jive with "I will decide soon."
OMG. I come back and this is the first thing I read.
Teeth grinding, hands wringing, heart pumping. Get back here RocketCity! LOL!
very gloomy forecast. "The clock is ticking"....if it's a military option, I think all bets are off as to where this ends." (paraphrased)
Whew! And no, we are NOT prepared for biological warfare. I watched a documentary, a new one, and it was frightening.
Then watched "The Plague" and at the end of the history of the plague, (VERY GOOD ON HIST.CH. if you can catch it) ... they also talked about how we are not prepared!
That's why I think he will run, tho he's been trying to change the dynamics of the ME for a number of years now. I know he doesn't want his positions to be politicized, but unless he runs, I doubt any of the normal people will know what's been going on. He shines in townhalls and he can get the message out while running and with all our strength, we'll be moving him and Gert into the WH.
in April last year. He was excellent. Many areas covered. I thought others would enjoy listening to him. He has a feel for all things. You can go to my blog for the rest of them.
when you have them available. Thank you, as always and I'm so glad you're blogging with us again.
I've been wondering whether C-Span will be covering the UCLA Conference in March. Wonder whether it might be a good idea to start a write-in to them to ask them to cover it,
you're a tease, Bev? HA! Can't wait to read more. However, those 5 little words will keep me going for awhile. Eeeeeeek!
The "I will be deciding soon" came BEFORE "When I run for President" There was another huge hint too but I will have to ask Joyce to find out exactly what he said.

I'm putting my pick and shovel back in the garage. I'm not going to dig in frozen ground for my war chest until it's a bit more certain.
Have you had an opportunity to see Wes live before? or was this your first.
Were you "whoopin'" woman? I have first hand experience with your excitement and know how contagious your joy can be. Excellent to hear that you're still in fine form. Great!
Which event are you describing? The cover-dish? Sounds like an all Wes-event.
Did he give a speech in morning? I'm full of questions but I'll stop now.
Thanks again. And a big thanks to Joyce too.

Wes is going to run -- no doubt about it.
He looked great tonight, khaki pants, white shirt, red tie and grey V-neck sweater.
He started off immediately talking about his bio. Where he grew up, going to West Point, X amount of years in the Army, getting wounded in Nam, etc. etc. I got the impression that he was hurt when in 04' everyone was talking about Kerry's war service and barely mentioned his record of service. And he's right, that's what happened. He definitely sounded like a candidate to me. He was passionate, funny, and he did say that "IF I RUN THIS TIME, I'LL WIN!!!
The crowd was energetic, supportive, and there were no empty seats in the house.
RUN WES RUN!
He was very passionate -- more so than I've ever seen him. He talked about how he wanted to make a difference. He said he wanted to increase teachers pay, wanted to raise the minimum wage, wanted pre-school education for every child, wanted health care for everyone. He talked about illegal immigration, foreign policy. Someone asked him how long it would take to undo the damage of the Bush Administratiion. He said that people in other countries loved Americans, they just don't like our governmental policies. But more than that, he talked about his last campaign and how he was viewed in 04 as not really being a Democrat and how in the last couple of years he has proven himself by helping elect a Democratic congress and senate. How he had raised more than a million dollars and had spent many days campaigning all across the country for democratic candidates. He said that he was the ONLY democrat that Jon Tester would allow to come to Montana and campaign for him. He said in relation to his running again tha he had not said NO. That he was working through the idea. Like I said though, he was more passionate than I've ever seen him. He loves this country and it makes him mad as hell to see what Bush/Cheney are doing to his beloved country.
"If I run this time, I'll win! Wes Clark 1/15/07
Just wish you all could have been there tonight. It was my third time to see him in person and this time he's really ready to run for President. In 04' I think he knew he was in a uphill battle, but tonight he had the EYE OF THE TIGER.
He is the best person for the job. Why should we settle for anything less then the best?
I worked hard last time, but will find the strength to work harder this time. I want the man in the WH.
It was great to see you again and girl, you're lookin good!!!
Looking forward to our first Meet-Up!
I can't TAKE the pressure! LOL
Will he or Won't HE?
Is he? or Isn't HE?
Should he? or - no wait that's an easy one!
YES HE SHOULD and SOOOOOON PLEASE!
Live the Journey!
Just had 4 stars in your eyes!!!
Well, he said that if he decides to run he hopes we'll all be there for him or something like that. But what I liked was when he said he'd win this time. He said it with so much emotion.
Not trying to be a wet blanket, but he's said before that if he runs he MUST win.
I hope ya'll are right, but I'll wait till he says "yep, I'm in," cause my poor old heart can't handle too much "surge". LOL
I just googled Wesley Clark to see if there was anything new.
Apparently someone has bought the below name for "future use" - has anyone seen this before? It goes no where, YET. But SOMEONE owns it and I'm guessing they MAY have plans to USE it someday soon I hope........ I've copied it here but you can google it for yourself too.

Ok when I used to have a webtv (a decade ago) you could do a /whois on a new guest in your chat room but I never thought you could google a whois on a link name? Is that how you did it?
Wow if that's a trick I never knew until NOW, I'll be up very late tonight investigating. ;-) kewl beans!
It has nothing to do with Google. Whois searches the database of domain names and returns the registrant information. You can Google Whois and find plenty of websites that let you do a lookup.

I'm not getting excited about anything yet. Tap-dancing shoes still in storage... at least for now. :-)
I am thrilled to hear that the General had a great time today. The last time I saw him, he was beaming. Isn't that great? Nothing better than a beaming General. I'm watching: "Keep Your Eyes on the Prize". That's where I am.

Dying and Living in COPS America
by Richard Rapaport
~snip~
What is so pernicious about "Armed & Famous," "COPS," "America's Most Wanted," "To Catch a Predator," "S.W.A.T." and other of this criminal-vérité programming? It is that they have helped set a national tone in which both the police and the policed have been convinced that appropriate law-enforcement correlates with high-speed chases, blocking and tackling, drawn weapons, and a shoot-first, think-later mindset. What connects November's "bust-in" killing of 88-year-old Kathryn Johnston in Atlanta with the slaying of bridegroom Sean Bell in Queens, N.Y. that same month, is that both fell from fusillades fired by undercover police squads clearly doing more shooting than thinking.That both Johnson and Bell were African-Americans illuminates again the "separate but unequal" law-enforcement system under which America still labors.
~snip~
What is so harmful about this mixture of real-life street-tragedy and low-rent entertainment is that "COPS" and its brethren reduce our resistance to the kind of dehumanized "ultra-violence" Anthony Burgess hypothesized in his then-seemingly satiric 1962 novel "A Clockwork Orange."
Richard Rapaport will be a guest on NPR's "Talk of the Nation" w/ Neil Conan on Wednesday Jan 16, 2007.
Had to run and get son ready for bed -- but YES to all what Joyce said -- he said all the things tonight with PASSION like I have never seen before. Oh he's got the fire alright. He is ready to do it again just because he cares sooo much for this county -- I swear on a stack of bibles I got the vibe big time tonight.

the R's are so fed-up with W that a bunch of them may well walk into the WH and tell him that the game is up.
The new thread, that is. Time to get a new less wobbly version started.
What more can I say?
