The boogeyman for conservatives


Booo. Halloween comes early this week for conservatives and Rob Christensen counts the ways it will be scary.

Strobe Talbott, the president of the liberal Brookings Institution, and President Bill Clinton's former Deputy Secretary of State will be in Chapel Hill on Thursday to discuss "Obama and the World."

Talbott will be speaking at the Fedex Global Education Center, Nelson Mandela Auditorium at the University of North Carolina at 5:30 p.m.

Talbott has been a friend of Clinton since they were Rhodes Scholars together at Oxford and worked in the George McGovern presidential campaign in 1972. Talbott had a distinguished career for Time magazine before becoming a diplomat.

Re: The boogeyman for conservatives

The boogeyman for conservatives comes everyday, and his name is newspapers, tv, college, cable, movies, neighbors, church, people outside, the MAJORITY...

Thank Gawd real conservatives that keep their genes in the family don't have Internet access, but have sturdy basements to protect their black boxes to talk to God.

I just made up a word. Tardation!

Take a bath in it Paul Terrall. Mmmmmmm.

Tard....dation.

Don't worry Democratic voter Ben Niolet, at UNC only boogeymen for liberals get the brick-through-the-window treatment.

Ha. Ha. Ha.

Threatening reporters is funny.

So does Art Pope teach this school of commentary in the traditional 4 years, or 2.5 like most Internet degrees?
