    Now if, on the other hand, someone with a voice and a following, who knows the law, who is an exceptional thinker, writer and orator decided that they wanted to take a real stand, rather than simply recording the fall... if that person and other persons with similar traits and in similar positions decided to organize themselves and lead, well then something might actually get done.

    Adnoto, I knew you would come through! Good for you! So you'll be joining me in voting for Obama? Good man, and I'll do my best to see nobody talks bad about you. I'm not gonna take on Greenawald, tho. You're on your own there, bucko!

    the alleged conspirators "understood that you didn't have to attack the fortress anymore." All they had to do was "surround it, make faces at the people inside and let them have nervous breakdowns and destroy themselves."

    Those were the days, weren't they!

    You continue on if you want to but I am way past suffering fools.

    Whoops! That lets me out completely. You're on your own.

    1) writing letters to your congressman

    2) writing responses to a blog

    3) writing your own blog

    I just wanted to remind readers that the above, and especially No.3 is very helpful in cases of Asperger's Syndrome-by-proxy Syndrome, by proxy. Until further clinical studies are undertaken, the efficacy of No.4, violent insurrection, is still undetermined.

    It's really up to you A.S.-b.-p.S.,b.p. can be somewhat ameliorated, sometimes!

    That's the way, pal! Only you, by dint of your efforts can make a dent in your Asperger's Syndrome-by-proxy Syndrome, by proxy! Fortunately, since the severity of an episode is usually indicated by the length of time it takes the victim to recognise his (or her) affliction.

    With unbelievable effort and superhuman sacrifice, your symptons may be slightly alleviated, or maybe not.

    I always thought Mom's story didn't quite add up. I wore my patrimony proudly whilst I possesed it, tho!

    I would have been in there, pitchin' for you, putting these guys in there lava-lamped place, but you said you wouldn't suffer fools! In that case, buddy, don't count on me. But simple humanity prompts me to once again plead with you: Adnoto, my friend, please, please, please (ooh, I like that; maybe it could be a lyric) seek therapy for your acute episode of Asperger's Syndrome-by-proxy Syndrome, by proxy. This is a serious condition, and not to be trifled with!

    She is a literary detective, and in the first of the series, The Eyre Affaire is assigned the task of saving the integrity of that novel. (She first had to learn to jump both into and out of fiction."

    S.J. Pereleman, "The Kugelmass Affair" (?) A maritally frustrated Col. lit. prof. has himself projected into "Madame Bovary" for a little lunch-time fun. Treat turns to trouble when Emma Bovary insists on coming to New York for the shopping and shows, staying at the Plaza and running up huge bills. Can Kugelmass get her back into the novel before his wife finds out? In the meantime, lit. students all over are finding strange characters in Flaubert's classic tale of infidelity. Hilarity ensues, and you will too.

    I would just like to state them I am available for on-the-record interviews. If written questions are submitted in advance, detailed answers will be forthcoming. And of course I will answer additional questions as they come up.

    One day's advance notice would be nice.

  • Would You Waterboard for Obama?

    Barack Obama doesn't appear to be all that eager to start a lot of wars and send people off to die.

    GG

    And I am hoping with all my heart that there are, literally, thousands of people in the US Government and the Armed Forces who will not feel comfortable committing the myriad war and other crimes which, at this point, make up our foreign policy, with Obama as President. As of now, almost our entire government and foreign policy is predicated on George Bush's political ability to escape responsibility for his actions, and Bush's ability to shield his minions from prosecution.

    Take away this assurance of protection, and you take away the ability commit crimes with impunity. Robbed of the ability to commit crimes, the entire Iraq effort (for instance) has no reason to exist. And no ability to continue.

    That is what I hope for more than anything out of an Obama Presidency- that the felons currently pillaging the US will not consider him a reliable co-conspirator. I doubt he is a guy they could have a beer with, anyway.

  • Thanks, Hilary!

    What problem has Clinton solved?

    Well, she's solved a few of mine, by giving my wife an example of a prominent and successful woman who was willing to take a certain amount of embarrassment from her husband and not throw him out. I mean, if Hilary can take it, so can you, honey.

    But enough of this, I'm tired of going back and forth, online insults are fun for a short while, then it gets boring.

    Yeah, it's sort of like a cross talk act. You really should switch to dialect, maybe a Dutch comic or a Jack Benny schtick. Liven it up a bit.

  • What am I, Chopped Liver?

    What about my point that Obama will not be considered a reliable co-conspirator to the criminals now in the US Government and Armed Forces, and the consequences of that?

    Or is its depth and startling prescience so astounding they leaved you unworded, if not unmaned. Unmaned? Maybe unmanned?

    Anyway, what about it?

    The perennial complaint of dullards: too many big words.

    Easy there, mate. More than three (if they're small) and I'm lost meself. Don't dullards desire debate, damnit?

    And my wife informs me that I am indeed, almost entirely constituted of liver pate'. So I guess that's how it goes.

    Go out and purchase a 'vette or a truck with oversized tires-Don't forget the gunrack either....

    I see Obama as totally a sport-bike guy. Totally.
