Jim--
A couple points of personal privilege, to begin:
1) If dropping names is Neocon's worst fault, his wife has managed to marry a saint. It's a foible, not a flaw, and the good-natured tweaking I'm posting is meant in fun.
2) It is hilarious.
So here's two worth a chuckle. Enjoy.
I have had personal contact with Arianna Huffington, and a friend of mine used to work for her. However, I have never spent enough time with her to have a drink, I only see my friend once or twice a year, and we have only spoken of his time with her on one occasion.

(That post prompted B. Vaughn to call him a "lucky dog!" Neocon demurred.)
By the way, I have never spoken with George Will, although I have heard him speak in person on a few occasions. He, like me, recommends that conservatives take their cue from Ronald Reagan, his optimism, cheerfulness, generosity, and tendency to appeal to peoples' better angels.
I did, once, do him a small favor. A group of students wanted to have their picture taken with him, and I expedited matters by volunteering to take the picture for them.
Message 8245034
(I'm sure Mr. Will is forever indebted to him, that lucky dog!)
Finally, with all the superfluous effort he expends on squelching the rumor that he is God, one wonders why Neocon bothered to start the rumor in the first place.
