19. I no longer watch "The Talk". I'm MUCH more interested in "The Walk".
Talk is fine. Talk is good. Talk is grist for the mill.

"The Walk", however, is a measure of what you CAN do, rather than what you SAY you can do.

President Obama talks a good game.

I used to PROMISE my parents that my grades would be better next quarter. I've PROMISED cops that I wouldn't speed again if they just let me go THIS time. I PROMISED my Great Grandfather once that I'd NEVER shoot his prize bull in the balls again if he'd JUST LET ME KEEP MY BB GUN.

My grades never got better. I drive ten nine miles over the speed limit as a rule, unless I'm in a residential area. And, I used to shoot that bull in the balls any time my Great Grandpa wasn't around, and the bull's balls were accessible to my BB gun. (If you've never seen a Black Angus bull stand on it's hind legs, you haven't lived)...

I'm sorry, I'm not impressed by a speechifier who first looks at the teleprompter on the left, then the teleprompter on the right, then the teleprompter on the left, and then the teleprompter on the right...

Make no mistake, I could be WOWED by anyone who said BOO, and then made BOO happen, but I'm not seeing it at the moment. There are three more years to be WOWED though, so I'M NOT GIVING UP HOPE.

Just not feeling it at the moment.
