Best wishes!

Hang in there, Dean

I've followed Dean Barnett since he was at Hugh Hewitt.com. He's really one-of-a-kind. My prayers are with him.

Said this elsewhere already, but Godspeed to Dean. Go back years with him at Soxblog trading jabs over baseball, which seems so insignificant now.

I know how much he loved his Sawx, and this Yankee fan says a prayer for him.

Cystic fibrosis -- a very difficult disease to cope with. Genetic. Not much anyone can do about it.

Enough said. Done.

He's always so good filling in for Hugh....they are both so smart, it is an intellectual experience to listen in on their show(s). I never knew he has CF.

Sending my prayers and thoughts.

Get well soon Dean!

Prayers on the way, for Dean and family especially wisdom for those providing care.

Praying for you Dean. Get well soon.

Dear Lord, please comfort this, thy humble servant, in his time of need. Give him strength, and, if it is your will, take him unto your bosom where we shall meet again one day, drinking the blessed, cool waters of your Love, which is without beginning or end. Give his family and friends solace, should we have to carry on without him. This we humbly pray, Amen.

Sending our prayers to you Dean!

We're pulling for you - and looking forward to your next turn guest hosting for Hugh.

Prayers out to Chowda. He's an absolutely wonderful guest host on the show. Man I hope he's going to be ok.

re: #23 Ringo the Gringo

The one and only.

Get well Dean!

God bless you, Dean.

I'm almost ashamed to admit that I have no clue who this man is or what his situation is. BUT, if he is considered one of the good guys in the eyes of fellow lizards, I will jump on board with prayers.

Have faith.

May you walk with God, Dean Barnett.

This is sad news. I wish him the best. Hope he gets well.

re: #3 cicero05

smart guy

Well, as a godless athiest here, I am pulling for him.
His voice always cracks me up. I swear, sometimes it doesn't even sound like English!
Pull through, dude!

Very bad news. I've long enjoyed his writing and hope that he recovers quickly. He'll be in my prayers tomorrow.

Dean Barnett is a fine man and he's one of us. Lord, please take care of Dean in this, his time of need. He's served you and us as best he can. He's a good man who, given the opportunity, will continue to try and make the world a better place. Please allow him much more time to do so. Here's a toast to Dean, his family, and friends *a toast*.

Praying for health and strength for Dean and his family.
He's one of the good guys.

Wow, I just looked him up on wiki, and this is already there!

re: #32 Pvt Bin Jammin

Amen to that. Take care, Realwest. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

God bless. Prayers sent.

Dean's 39 years old - so very young. But CF is a tough one, and I'm praying he is one who breaks the mold.

God's merciful healing for Dean, and His richest blessings for Dean's family.

Always admired Dean's work whether written or on the radio. I hope he can pull through. And it happens to be Yom Kippur eve.

I had a great uncle named Ben Barnett, really nice man (my aunt was your stereotypical Jewish mother type). I don't think there are that many Jewish Barnetts in greater Boston, so I've wondered if Dean is related.

re: #54 mikeymom

Very sad. Be quite careful if it a friend you want to keep. A very dear long-time friend of mine has turned into a raving obamabot, we have had to agree not to speak at all right now trying to preserve the friendship, and I'm still not sure it will survive.

All Best Dean.

I can't find a good pic of him with google, anybody have one?

Get better, Dean. You are in our thoughts.

And of course my prayers are with both Dean & realwest.

My thoughts and prayers are with Dean and his family.

"The LORD bless you
and keep you;
the LORD make his face shine upon you
and be gracious to you;
the LORD turn his face toward you
and give you peace."

God Bless Dean, Realwest and all who are struggling.

Said my prayers for Dean this afternoon, and will continue to pray. I know he went through a similar event awhile back. Hang in there, Dean.

May God be with Dean Barnett and his entire family. My prayers are with them.

re: #60 Researcher...MO

My niece and her friend signed me up for match.com after my divorce without telling me so they could screen the responses (if there were any, lol). She's 16 and has been in my truck numerous times and always wanted to listen to top 40 crap on the radio even though she's known since she was a little kid I listen Rush, Hannity, Levin, Boortz, etc. She actually made the headline for the ad they created "Liberals Need Not Apply", since she knew I detested libs and would'nt date one no matter what she looked like. I thought that was pretty funny!

Prayers for Dean Barnett and RW- "Hang in dear da bote of ya", as my Italin Uncle Joe would say.

Stevieray- Thanks for the heads-up about Adobe Flash 10 Beta (and to the others who offered advice on the previous thread). It seems to have solved the problem.

I have a friend who has stopped speaking to me. I usually don't talk politics with liberals because I've found alot of them will attack you personally, even if you're a friend, for not agreeing with their politics. This friend was going off on Sarah Palin's looks and mothering abilities and all I said was that if we as women allow any woman to be attacked for those things, we are condoning sexism. She basically said, "Well, she's a Republican so who cares."

re: #69 mikeymom
The worst part for me is that from the point at which he became an obamabot, he has made no cogent arguments. It has all been talking points, insults, and crazed rantings against "big oil" and other big-this and big-that. Amazingly he is retired AF. And a very intelligent person. But the intolerance for anything but a lockstep opinion has made him nearly ready to even distance himself from family! Insanity! Not to mention the fact that it just drips irony how much real life DIVISION I have seen and heard of as a direct result of the great "uniter's" candidacy.

Sounds like someone on the kos website.
Those type simply cannot even listen to an opposing view and call you names and stuff.
Some over there have disowned thier grandparents/parents/siblings simply because they will not vote for Obama.

re: #72 Ozark Mountain Daredevil
Hi Ozark Mountain Daredevil! From previous posts I do believe you're fairly close to my neck of the woods :) Great to hear that there might be hope for the younger generation after all!

Please accept my prayers. They may cost me nothing but my time, but they are sincere. I have had all my prayers answered. Sometimes those answers have been "no", or worse; laughter. For the yeses, the nos, and the laughter, I give thanks. I hope all of you find the answers you seek, or, barring that, the answers you need.

In the time of your hour of need and want may you be surounded by good friends and family. Take heart that should you leave them in this world you'll be greeted by good friends and family in the next. Amen.

Stretch forth Your hand that is full of healing and health, and get him up from his bed, and cure him of his illness. Put away from him the spirit of disease and of every malady, pain and fever to which he is bound; and if he has sins and transgressions, grant to him remission and forgiveness, in that You love mankind; yea, Lord my God, pity Your creation, through the compassions of Your Only-Begotten Son, together with Your All-Holy, Good and Life-creating Spirit, with Whom You are blessed, both now and ever, and to the ages of ages.

OT - The latest on the Holy Land trial:

Double-jeopardy claimed in Holy Land Foundation terrorism financing trial

By JASON TRAHAN / The Dallas Morning News

Attorneys for a defendant in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism financing case asked a federal judge Wednesday to dismiss the charges against their client because they say FBI testimony tainted the jury by treading too closely to his prior convictions.

U.S. District Judge Jorge Solis is expected to rule on whether to drop the case against Ghassan Elashi, Holy Land's former board chairman and co-founder, on double jeopardy-grounds by Tuesday, when the trial resumes after Monday's federal holiday for Columbus Day.

Judge Solis denied oral requests made late Wednesday by attorneys for all five defendants for a mistrial and to have their cases severed from Mr. Elashi's. If Judge Solis deems that charges should be dropped against Mr. Elashi, the trial of the other four would presumably continue, but that was not completely clear Wednesday evening...

You can have a Mother's name inscribed in the walls, and they have services outdoors in good weather.

comfort to Dean and Family.

re: #165 Palandine

Had to love Gov. Blunt's response though!

re: #167 Typicalwhitey
Ah, we never get down that far by boat! Only by land, which is why we've probably not heard of it :(

re: #164 Ozark Mountain Daredevil

No, she said she had it.

she stated expressly that she does NOT have it.
she said she left the quotes off the statement which was dean's

re: #164 Ozark Mountain Daredevil

No, she said she had it.

No she doesn't have it she was quoting from the article she posted.
Thankfully she even said she didn't have it and that she just posted it wrong.

Many prayers for Dean for a speedy recovery.

re: #173 Oldasdirt

Thank you! Hope you can make it back someday anyway.

Meanwhile, I think maybe next Spring we should have a Meet for MO/KS/AR/Etc. Lizards!

re: #163 Oldasdirt

I took three trips to the Fayetteville, AR area in 2003-04, including Eureka Springs a couple times. I like it a lot. Beautiful country and cool towns. It also seems like an area where red and blue America seem to coexist and get along. Asheville NC struck me that way as well.

The last time I went I took a side trip to Branson MO. Now that was a trip.

Going on next thread

"Prognosis doesn't look good" is now gone from Hot Air website. Perhaps there's been an improvement; perhaps they'd rather not have that assessment out on teh intertubes. Maybe you want to remove it?

Headed to the next thread also...

re: #164 Ozark Mountain Daredevil

No, she said she had it.

Please go re-read. She was quoting Dean. She does not have CF.

No she wasn't!

God Bless Dean Barnett and family. Missed his last show, subbing for Hugh Hewitt.

re: #53 spirochete

I think Sarah Palins real faith panics some people who have no faith at all. It is a spiritual thing you are seeing, I think.

Love Dean when he subs for Hugh Hewitt. Had no idea he had such a challenging disease. We all love you Dean and we're pulling for you.

Prayers for Dean.

And for the godless atheists, that soon they will be neither.

Late to this thread, but never too late to offer a prayer to someone so deserving. God bless and keep you Mr. Barnett.

Wow, they already updated his Wikipedia entry. From another guy suffering a form of fibrosis, I wish him comfort and a good recovery.

Hang in there!

Just said a prayer for him.

I heard the tail end of Hugh Hewitt talking about Barnett today, but I didn't know what it was about.

May you battle back, Dean!

being a godless atheist

I will gladly chip in the best for you
you deserve it

my former hairdresser, while we still lived there
Arnie Fields in Oakland
up at Lincoln Square

used to (and may still) have a charity golf tourney every year to raise money for CF

Out of curiosity, does anyone know what it takes to get a personal blog listed on the site's blogroll?

God bless you Dean! I listen to you when fill in for Hugh (prefer you to Hugh, sometimes). Sorry Hugh. We are ALL pulling for you, with my 400 lb butt as anchorman! C'mon boys HEAVE!

God Bless you Dean. Please God spare Dean at this time as he's one of the 'good guys' and we are in need of all the good guys we can muster just now. So please loan him back to us for a while, to fight your good fight here in Earth. You can have him for all eternity Lord, so please can't we keep him with for just a little longer?

We're praying for him 'downunder' too. when the rest of you Yanks are asleep, so there is no gaps in the prayer stream.

re: #5 zombie

A friend of mine has a son with CF, he started an event up in MI called "Hunt for a cure" which raises funds for research, It is a hunting themed series of events, and a big draw/funding opportunity. They fund research projects directly, and they are making progress on several fronts.
Please feel free to check it out: [Link: www.huntforacure.com...]

Twenty-Third Psalm

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
he leads me beside still waters;
he restores my soul.
He leads me in right paths for his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley,
I fear no evil;
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff--they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
my whole life long.

- Psalms 23: 1-6

Rest well Dean. Be empowered with a peace that passeth all understanding. My prayers are surrounding you.

I've heard him many times on the Hugh Hewitt show and he seems like a great guy.

Dean: our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Put your trust and faith in the Lord and his will.

re: #36 redshirt

"Well, as a godless atheist here, I am pulling for him".

I also qualify as heathen first class.
That will not stop me from offering a prayer for him,without a king's x.
He is a friend to the cause,and to every Lizard here.
Those here who can't find it in their hearts to wish him well
are not familiar w his produce.
We love you buddy.
Get well soon.

re: #46 Inquisitive

I don't know the guy but

AMEN

from the other side of the pond.

Here's one of the Godless atheists you mentioned Charles who whole-heartedly extends his best wishes to Dean. My thoughts and hopes are with you.

God's Grace upon them.
