Welcome to the change. Though I refuse to be extremely hateful it doesn't mean I'm going to be that light either. Countdown is good. It's the host I find rather questionable.
Comments are open but don't expect me to always publish or reply.
It was nice to take a week off and sit back and relax. Didn't see much of Countdown but I read that Rachel Maddow filled in last night. I bet she did a good job. I'll have to go check out the videos.
Profile of the Sociopath
Glibness and Superficial Charm
Manipulative and Conning They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible.
They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims.
Grandiose Sense of Self Feels entitled to certain things as "their right."
Pathological Lying Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and even able to pass lie detector tests.
Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.
Shallow Emotions When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises.
Incapacity for Love
Need for Stimulation Living on the edge. Verbal outbursts and physical punishments are normal. Promiscuity and gambling are common.
Callousness/Lack of Empathy Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others' feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them.
Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature Rage and abuse, alternating with small expressions of love and approval produce an addictive cycle for abuser and abused, as well as creating hopelessness in the victim. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others.
Early Behavior Problems/Juvenile Delinquency Usually has a history of behavioral and academic difficulties, yet "gets by" by conning others. Problems in making and keeping friends; aberrant behaviors such as cruelty to people or animals, stealing, etc.
Irresponsibility/Unreliability Not concerned about wrecking others' lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed.
Promiscuous Sexual Behavior/Infidelity Promiscuity, child sexual abuse, rape and sexual acting out of all sorts.
Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic Lifestyle Tends to move around a lot or makes all encompassing promises for the future, poor work ethic but exploits others effectively.
Criminal or Entrepreneurial Versatility Changes their image as needed to avoid prosecution. Changes life story readily.

The Seven Deadly Sins
Lust: that pretty much speaks for itself
Gluttony: eating too much and too expensively
Greed: an excessive materialistic hoarding and manipulating authority to get more than you need
Sloth; unwillingness to care; laziness and indifference
Wrath/Envy: I put these two together because they intertwine with jealousy, hatred and anger towards the one who has more; in Keith's case it would be, "love of one's own good perverted to a desire to deprive other men of theirs"-Dante
Pride: thinks he's more important and attractive than others;
Dante- "love of self perverted to hatred and contempt for one's neighbor"

Well, you're back! You didn't miss much...Rachel did a good job but was visibly nervous at the beginning of the show. I guess you know that Keith's 'shadow' has already been promoted (yeah, you'll have to apologize to the NY Post..they nailed it)she's now on the evening news sitting with the grownups doing 'political' stuff.. she's already made mistakes reading the teleprompter, so I guess she'll get another promotion next week. Those weren't strings he pulled.. they were ropes! Oh, am I allowed to be honest on the gentler kinder site (kidding)? Honestly I would like to know what spooked you...you should just delete entries from people who are nasty to you and they won't show up again.
I guess the NY Post saw that one coming.
It wasn't that I was spooked. It was more of a reality check. I'm generally a very nice person and when I saw how ugly I had been I didn't like it.
There's a way to do some things and that just wasn't it.
You can be as honest as you feel you need to be. hehe.
Making mistakes reading the teleprompter goes without saying. Keith does it all the time so she pretty much has the best teacher in town.
