    A strike over the outside corner at the knees, sire. You make sense, a rarity here. Must, you must admit, Shawn is a master baiter. Sometimes I just can't resist. This is a First Amendment Zone, I think. I, for one, pledge that no matter how much snark and drivel gets posted on obscure internet sites, I will vote for a Democrat for President, and for every office down to dogcatcher. I will never vote for a republikan until Lincoln comes back. Is that unequivocal enough? And, Shawn the Pawn, I hope you get paid by the word. That must be plan A in your personal economic bunker. Place B is burgers, plan C is a coke. You want flies with that? You draw enough with the piles you leave here. Ease up on the fiber. I'm stayin' upwind. And drink plenty of water; it's gonna make it much easier to piss up a rope. love, tommy p.s. thanks, fauntleroy. My posts are flippant and juvenile, but at least I know how to use the language. Buy a thesaurus, Shawn. No, it's not a dinosaur. GFY, tom

    Latin is dead language; you should cleave to it well, your brain being in a similar state. Try an up and coming language, like Spanish. Besa me culo works for me. It's difficult to condescend when you start at curb level. The terms you cite as being so arcane and lofty were commonly learned in grade school when I was growing up. Perhaps in your tepid crowd ad hoc, ergo propter hoc might pass as clever. In our family, that's as clever as passing gas. As I said before, kind friends, stay upwind of Shawn the Pawn. If the road to excess leads to the palace of wisdom, you haven't even found the onramp, bucko. Now, more liquids. The rope is calling. And your heroine took another drubbing today, as she will Tuesday. Stock up on lubricants. You'll need them soon. Do some yogic stretching. you'll need to grab your ankles for a good long while. Smoke if ya gottem. love tommy

    Doris Kearns Goodwin wrote a very interesting book about Lincoln and they way he drew what some perceived as political enemies into his cabinet. Of course, the book doesn't have cartoons or frontal nudity, so it won't interest you. What I find most repellent about you is the way you float, inflated by your own opinion of yourself, above the thread like the Hindenberg above New Jersey. So, go and have a snit, or drink yourself blind, or whatever you do this time of night. The Democratic Party will stand or fall on our ability to get past this minutia and vote, in droves. Your 49 state prediction is stump stupid, dumber than dumb, even for you. Every significant poll, fallible though they certainly are, shows Obama beating McLame and Billary losing. She has no upside. All she has she's shown long ago. She voted for the war. That 's the bottom line. Of course, you're familiar with the bottom line. It's where you spend the vast- or in your case half-vast- majority of your time. You're one Charmin dude. Let's roll, as you say. You're not even a good liar, but with the practice you're getting you'll be a fine republikan. Good luck with that rope. love tommy

    As if I'd give hint to a stalker like you to where I might be. Nice job denigrating Howard Dean, that poor dupe who thinks all fifty states count. The last campaign, Einstein, was decided by Diebolded Ohio. If you're thick enough to think that was a '64 or '72 style defeat, you're getting dumber by the drink. Another ten minutes, you're a paramecium. Come to think of it, you've been there all day. If McLame wins, which becomes more likely every week the Hillbots press on like lemmings toward the cliff, then pat yourself on the ass. That's an easy target: any part of you will do. The sad thing is that drooling quadrapeds such as yourself are delusional enough to think you're right. Just look at the numbers, the poll trends- you know, something besides the comic section of the newspaper, assuming you read one. The audiences of Limbaugh, Savage, Scarbrough, Hannity, and O'Reilly are made up of clench jawed thimblewitted white males, their tepid lives hanging behind them like flaccid rump cheeks, just like you. Make a fist. Down another shot. That's a good boy. How pitifully predictable; you don't even curse well. Brush up on it. Watch an Obama rally and radiate hatred toward that uppity half breed who's taken Hillary's crown right off her oversprayed head. In a way, I see your point: if you're not in first place in the horse race, all you see are assholes. Sweet dreams, peaches. A big wet kiss for the Hillster. love, tommy

    It came to me in a dream- well, a nightmare, really. Let Shawn spout on, that tool, that pawn, let him piss into the rising breeze, Hillary's Monica on his knees, allow him space to soil himself, and then go on and do something else with the already shortened day. Let the little prick have his way. love, tommy

    Coming to a theater near you, starring Barack Obama as Idi Amin, Hillary Clinton as Mother Teresa, and Shawn the Pawn as David Duke. Or Patty Duke. Works either way. Watch out for them Africans, Shawn. kisses, tommy
