Welcome to the light, sir.

My daugters use that word when they think I said something derpid.

I apologize for misspelling “derp”in my recent post. That is if you can misspell a word that is not in any mainstream dictionary.

Apparently “derp” is a made up word from the raunchy cartoon South Park that means : “A simple, undefined reply when an ignorant comment or action is made. ” From the Urban Dictiobnary

Mr. Mitchell,

When I started reading and commenting on this blog years ago I took my cue from posters using a screen name. I chose Publius because it was the pseudonym that Madison, Hamilton and Jay during the debate on whether to approve the Constitution. I guess they were dwerps, too. I notice that you were unable to address the validity of my comments and resorted to namecalling.

For the record, my name is John Braithwaite..

I am amazed at folks who say the Health Care Bill was President Obama’s. It belonged to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, and their Members and staffers. The President signed it.

And, Jay Carney notwithstanding, I don’t think I have actually seen the Resident’s “Plan”. URLs, please.

All that said, it is best if we get a deal before the 2nd. And, as part if or in addition, a plan to get our debt under control. If I had run for and been elected for the 5th, I would be willing to vote for tax reform, to include tax increases, but only after seeing real reform in entitlements and real actions to get those who have dropped out of the labor force back to work.

That and the mandatory availability of comment review for the commenter before submission.

Regards — Cliff

Not proud enough to use your name, though. Derp!

The Republicans do not have an attitude of taking the ball and going home. We are at a turning point and it is worth fighting for. Charges of “being unwilling to compromise” have been leveled at the Founding Fathers, Lincoln, civil rights leaders in their respective time periods. They did not waver at such scurrilous charges. I am proud to be in such august company.
