Newt has just demonstrated what has been wrong with so many establishment Republicans. Always has to try to be Democrat "lite". And just like "light" beer and "lite" ice cream he just can't get it "right." When Newt emphasizes his "moderate" side it just makes one wonder if he can be trusted to actually stick by conservative principles, as he is asking the Republican Party to do. Newt just isn't going to hack it, for we are in far too much trouble in this country to take a risk on him going wobbly on too many issues.

About a year ago Morrissey got himself in trouble with the left for saying "the Chinese are not human beings." Though in his defense, this was only done in the context of criticizing the PRC's policies on ANIMAL rights!!

From a commenter:
Instead of being intimidated by the demagogues and their compliant MSM, find ways to out-message them. It's time to start explaining how messed-up Medicare already is. Somebody elaborated on this on the comment boards here just the other day. Also, find people over 55 who would rather have Ryancare than Medicare. They definitely exist, and their reasons will be illuminating.

Why Should You Purchase Travel Protection?
Your travel agent cares about You...
To help you enjoy a stress-free vacation, travel protection is available through iTravelInsured.
Travel protection provides you with the necessary coverage to help safeguard your travel "investment" from unforeseen circumstances such as: Sudden and unexpected emergency illness or injury to you or a traveling companion or immediate family member causing you to cancel or interrupt your trip Jury Duty Job Layoff or Termination Terrorist Incidents Bankruptcy or Default of your airline, cruise line or a tour operator And much more...
At iTravelInsured, we know that cancelling a trip may cause you to lose all or part of your payment depending upon the cancellation penalties of your travel supplier(s).
Many travelers have little or no health protection while away from home and most plans don't cover an air ambulance. An iTravelInsured program helps provide true Global Peace of Mind.

I know this is standard for cruise lines, but I find the "what to wear" copy strangely fascinating:
What to wearWith visions of seascapes and sunsets and days spent in exciting ports-of-call, you may wonder if you will need a new wardrobe for your cruise. Cruise clothes are simply resort clothes and you'll need the same basic outfits that you wear at home when casual by day and off to cocktails and dinner in the evening.For this cruise, you will want very casual and comfortable wear during the day. This means slacks, shorts, T-shirts and sweatshirts as well as comfortable walking/hiking shoes. In general you should dress moderately on shore and save the dressy clothes for the ship.Your clothing should be of the type that requires little care. The ship offers dry-cleaning service and laundry facilities, however these can be somewhat expensive. No matter what part of the world you are sailing to, always pack a light sweater or wrap for the air conditioning on board, breezy evenings on deck or early arrivals in port. Light rain gear is also a good idea.There are two types of attire required for evening functions aboard ship:Formal nights - when a tux or dark suit for the gentlemen and a dressy gown/pantsuit or dress for the ladies is in order.Casual nights - when khakis and polo shirt or island/resort wear will be appropriate.Please consult the cruise agenda you will receive about three months before sailing for specific dates and guidelines on evening attire.

oh my god
I have a friend who worked in a setting that was toxic to her, politically. They excreted left-wing views and attitudes, all day long. My friend was in the closet, politically. She said to me once, “Jay, you know how children, who suffer molestation, are told to go to a ‘safe place,’ mentally? That’s what I try to do. I try to pretend I’m wrapped in some kind of cocoon and can’t hear it, or can’t be touched by it.”

I mean I've heard of ball gowns, and pageant gowns, and wedding gowns, but I've never heard anyone say, "Yeah, this is my wood-chopping gown." If I had, I'd have almost certainly referred that person to the FBI immediately.
