Condolences RP. So sorry for your loss.

I'm sitting here waiting for a lane at the shooting range, and a couple guys walk in wearing camo. And at first I'm like "why would you wear camo to an indoor range?!?" Then I realize they're the kind of people that wear camo ALL THE TIME
I blame Nigo.

You live in Maryland. I thought you'd be used to that.

Probably will be a lot more of that. Phil Robertson solidarity you know.

If A&E kept him off the air, that might have been the final straw to drive Texas into secession.

I believe it was a conspiracy to drive ratings. A&E execs can't have been surprised by his musings in his outside voice.

Disagree. Ratings were, and will continue to be, excellent. A&E execs knew what he believes, (he's never tried to cover it up) they just didn't think he'd say it in the wrong place- i.e., a magazine that liberals read. After all, up until now the family has been spectacular at matching message to audience. I think the fact that this will end up proving Andy Warhol's adage that there is no such thing as bad publicity is just lucky. I think this was a massive miscalculation by A&E, not a successfully calculated ploy.

I struggle accepting that they're that dumb. (If it were a principled stand, they wouldn't have rescinded the suspension. That leaves stupidity.)
The net of this will be a growth in their audience I'm guessing. We'll see.

I understand that feeling.
