#1 I saw something the other day that really caught my eye. Buraq is the name of the horse that transported BigMo from the distant mosque (al-Quds, known to us as Jerusalem) to his just rewards.

The name Barrack is a bit too similar for comfort.

#2 You are a fool, matthews, just like that other idiot(s) on CNN. You are talking heads, not foreign affairs analysts. Act like it or be broke. And I mean bankrupt.

Just the other day, I heard a FOOL on CNN talking about how government should handle everything.
'FOOLS, all of you.

#4 SF, this is rather silly, pardon my fwench. How about Ehud Barak, Israeli MoD?

Anyway, does Obama look like a horse? Lemme see, big ears... Donkey! ;-)

#5 Point taken, 2x4.

I never said I was *right* about my conjecture...

/but I think we should keep an eye on ol' Ehud, just in case

#6 Matthews tailors his opinions to match invite criterion to A-list Beltway parties. He's a w____.

#7 If the eponymous connotations of a candidate's name are worthy of consideration, Obama should have been toast the instant his hat landed in the ring. We'll please ignore everything he's done since then to disqualify himself ~~permanently~~ even further.

#8 Matthew, I prefer a name like Richard the Lionheart (of Crusade fame), as someone who could deal with Muslims more effectively.
Of course I am biased on the side of the Crusaders over the Muslim hoards so what do I know.

#11 Isn't "Barak" Hebrew for "lightning?"

Uh, Chris, the rest of us got over this stupid notion in the 1960 election (JFK being Catholic, taking direction from the Pope...). But perhaps you were too busy babbling to notice.

Uh, Sofia, I don't know about that....there's still a large group saying "But, he's a Mormon" about Romney. While I disagree with Mormonism wholesale and even some of his stances, I personally would still wholly endorse Romney over those other "Christians" like Hillary, Obama et. al.

#13 I guess Chris could never support a Hispanic candidate named 'Jesus' for the same reason.

#14 Well, to give him credit, Obama did mention bombing certain parts of Pakistan. Of course, that's not the type "dealing with" that Matthews meant.

#15 Take one cup multiculturism.

Add dash of reductio ad absurdum.

Set blender on puree

Bake for one hour at 350 degrees.

Serve while hot.

#16 Huh. Whaddaya suppose "Christopher" means?

#17 It means "Christ Bearer", as in he who carried Jesus across a river.

As I always say, "When the first six letters of your name spells 'Christ", you know you're in for trouble."
