Three or fewer. If you get a green one and then a red one then the third will complete a pair.

If you have three pigeons two or more will be the same gender.

Mathematics can be infuriating and fascinating.

I hate math.

I was using it as a way to categorize . . . like the old fashioned rolltop desks with all the pigeonholes.

A small compartment or recess, as in a desk, for holding papers; a cubbyhole.
A specific, often oversimplified category.
The small hole or holes in a pigeon loft for nesting.

tr.v., -holed, -hol·ing, -holes.

To place or file in a small compartment or recess.
To classify mentally; categorize.
To put aside and ignore; shelve.

All this keeps boiling down to what our own perspectives are . . . Megan McCain to me is simply not very smart.

Now, Liz Cheney! That is a woman I admire.

From my perspective, I see the far left as the ones to try to pigeon hole people, put labels on them, keep them separate.

I am way liberal.
Please don't put me in the secret compartment of a desk!

Ahhh yes, Rush Limbaugh. The entertaining buffoon that only the incredibly naive and gullible take seriously.

An entertaining buffoon, certainly. But I know a good many people who listen to him, and they are hardly naive or gullible.

House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) criticized conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh, on Friday, for drawing comparisons between President Obama and Adolph Hitler. And, in a sequence that seems rare in modern Republican politics, the Virginia Republican seems eager to publicize his rebuke.

Putting the Moderator Hat on:

One of the things that I think is important to remember is that we should debate ideas and not necessarily the character of the man (or woman)........

There are passionate and intelligent members on both side of this issue.....As a famous moderator has in her signature line "You can disagree without being disagreeable..."

Carry on with debate.....
