they are all "Windbags" in Washington .... its part of their Job Description.
... and Barry is the Windiest in the entire city ... none other can get near his excess.
Not a single person in all these endless months of Salon postings has Ever articulated a single, accomplished piece of hard legislation he engineered on his own. --- Not a one !!
Even his mouthings against the Iraqi nonsense was 'accomplished' before reaching any position of note in the government.
We should all take a look at the multitude of Pipsqueaks that pollute our ... tah-dah !! ... 'state legislatures' and recall that Little Barry made Little Verifiable Action to warrant his even serving in Congress.
.... Please Readers, Anybody !! Give us an Impressive Listing of "His" own personal Landmark Credentials ....
Biden a Windbag ?? --- Perhaps this is so ---- as most of us here agree .... it is a part of the Job Description.
But at least Joe's Windiness is a Wind of Some substance ... Some accomplishment ....
Barry OBlarney's WIND, however, is 99&44% pure undilluted hot air .... and how perfectly fitting it is that he rises from out of the WINDY CITY.
And Ralph Nader ?? .... "An Unreasonable Man (dvd)" ??? ... or a Man entirely absent of 'Wind' ... a Man of Substantial Action ... a Man of Actual Accomplishment ... a Man of Significan Historical Legislative Landmarks ... a Man in nobody's pockets, whether Corporate Bigwigs or moneygrubbing DNC Bigwigs who are paid $$$ to serve us up with a plethora of Windbag Loozers ... election after election after election.
--- that Barry O and his Fearsome Winds of Rhetoric are destined for the ash heap of political history is an obvious given ---- for those With Eyes To See.
DRAFT NADER at DENVER
Dogs ... that's who.
a few years back Scientific American highlighted a study by the geneticists who had isolated a unique gene in the Dog that was found nowhere else among the species of the planet earth.
After 40k years of domestication, the Doggies of the Dog Kingdom acquired a gene that served no other purpose than that of serving Dog's Best Friend ... first at the door to greet Daddy home from work ... even before the kiddies; a gene with no other purpose other than to please his Master.
When Dogs & Men eyeball each other they both understand who is who & what is what .... tail wagging, tongue lapping, drool driping ....
Meanwhile its rumored that after 110k years of Domestication that the parallel gene of the female human species lags somewhat behind that of the gene isolated in Dogs ... but not by much.
Think of the possibilities in the fast advancing century of genetic engineering !!!
That beautiful gene ... wholly absent in such worthless alternative house pet creatures as Goldfish, Turtles, Cats, Ant Farm inhabitants, etc.
By the way, Desmond Morris, author of "The Human Ape" has also written what must be the finest book written on what goes on inside the Doggie's Mind .... "DOG WATCHING"

YACKER No. 12:

YACKER No. 452:
"B'hoy do I feel Stooooopid ... I wish Id'a paid attention to my teacher in skool. ---- Golly ... I wonders what else I don't know?"
