My dear Wabanatta_3,

Precisely the point. His performance on SNL does not fit her characterization of McCain one bit.

If it doens't support her contention that he is a MEAN, MEAN MAN, then it doesn't belong here.

My apologies!

/what a moron.

Because above all,

The Obama/Biden administration will be about war and he will commander in chief the mideast something fierce.

Relax, it is good for business.

My dear gs_chandy,

Once the Bush crew is impeached, tried, convicted and locked up, then things shall smell much better.

Until then, we cannot hold our breath, we shall have to hold our noses.

If the Bush crew is let loose without consequence, then those responsible stink even worse than the Bushies.

Some people like the stink of treason.

If Obama isn't one of them, he surely will bring them to justice, RIGHT???

My dear gs_chandy,

Oh wait a minute!

What is the likelyhood of Obama impeaching and prosecuting Colin Powell now that Powell has endorsed Obama?

I guess you and Obama are down with Iraq and will just pat Colin Powell on the back and buy him a drink.

My dear ClearBlueSea,

I am a CGI professional with experience with Photoshop, Painter, Lightwave, Open GL Performer and Maya, among many others. You didn't download the image and look at it. You are full of it. The resolution isn't the problem, the compression artifacts are the problem, but the "typed" letters are different than the "typeset" letters which do show the green pattern in the spaces.

I could make a better birth certificate in about an hour.

Faking UFO videos is more fun and none of them have been debunked yet. Even more fun is debinking all the other fakes done by those with less talent than I.

My dear ClearBlueSea,

You might want to buy a copy of Photoshop or at least get Elements before you try to BS me again.

Bi-cubic interpolation is your friend, compression artifacts are your enemy.

My dear pete b,

No you want to play the game that everyone else has played - pay no attention to the fact that the document was generated in November of 2001 and if anyone does notice, troll them into submission and defeat or just pretend it doesn't matter because who the hell cares where he was born, as long as he isn't Bush.

How's that working for you moron?

You will naturally assume I am for Bush and McCain since it is either column A or column B for you. You will also assume that I am a racist with Klan robes and an arsenal of guns and surplus military gear and that I have a skinned moose in my living room and am reading a copy of "Today's Mercenary" while smoking Cuban cigars I got from my dear friend Rush Limbaugh while scoring some vicodin and oxycontin from a congressional page forced in to white slavery and drug trafficking during the Clinton Impeachment hearings which I set up along with my friend Starr and Rove after which we partied like it was 1999 and we made all the money off of the Y2K hysteria which we used to buy off Rupert Murdoch for Bushco and then laid the plans to have Dan Rather fired because we don't like them liberals very much - ta effing da.

My dear Klyterus,

How about some more of your "poop-centric" poetry - I find it amusing how you don't get banned for your efforts - I guess you and Joan are very close.

My dear ClearBlueSea,

I bought my first mac after I bought painter 2.0, that was several generations before Corel, which does suck, bought them and for all practical purposes abandoned the product. It is a creative tool whereas Photoshop is a work tool - an ignoramus like you would not know the difference and explaining it to you would be a waste of time.

I don't think you have any experience whatsoever with a graphics program which is why I suggested Elements. I used Photoshop LE on my home computer until I got CS3 and both are perfectly good tools unless you are publishing or making cgi. At work I have used PS 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 7 and CS2.

I have Maya so Photoshop is a low end tool for me.

Buy the software, install it on your computer and open up the image and look at the letters. Even a moron can tell that there is a difference between the letter/background artifacts.

I bet you don't even know what an artifact is. Anyone who works with any downloaded imagery with a graphics software tool should know what a compression artifact is, and you sir, do not. The checkerboard patterns around the letters are JPEG compression artifacts.

But for your grand insult? I do not use Microsoft Products except for Office and that is only for work.

I bet that when you buy software you read the manual first.

Trade insults with someone your own size, like a rat or a ferret.

My dear pete b,

So the white space around the letters overwrote the green background pattern?

That's funny, I thought the white space around the letter was clear, you know, like an alpha channel or something.

How much you get paid to troll sites for Obama? 10 buck an hour?

My dear jamiso

Have you ever seen a life form evolve?

Has anyone ever seen a life form evolve?

Has any unicellular organism in any petri dish in any lab in the world at any time ever evolved into a complex multicellular organism?

Unlike you, I know the answers to those questions.

If evolution is a generalized scientific principle why is the last time is was working was during the cambrian explosion?

You believe it because someone told it to you, not because it is true or real.

Evolution is creationism dressed up in a lab coat instead of a priestly robe.

Now who is the moron?

Natural selection is real.

Extinction is real.

Mutation is real.

Devolution is real.

Creationism and evolutionism are fairy tales.

That is just as bad as using Cheney's endorsement against McCain.

Can this campaign get any sleazier or lower class?

I personally think that Cheney was really endorsing Obama by endorsing McCain. Cheney isnt stupid.
