@WT

The parameters you observe when commenting are admirable. You got patience and tact, too. Baby, you're "all three".

I used to wonder why you did it. Now I know, think you are correct, but now I wonder, why? Anyway, you's a better man than me, Gunga Din.

Draft the Sucka'!

Is there any way we can take Obama off the ballot, and put Wright on?

mikeinportc

Mike, you may not credit this, but I've seen that same thought in many comments at other blogs. Maybe Wright could be VP. To run for President, a man's supposed to have a "fire in the belly". After he's elected, what's needed is a fire under his ass!

Let us now praise great men; they've got a fire in the belly, a fire under their ass, and a great woman behind them. And whether you're born to greatness, or have it thrust upon you, that's a hell of a spot.

If that's oppurtunity knocking, tell it I'm not home!

@LWM

He grew up in Gibsonton with the rest of the carney freaks and roadside attractions!

LWM

See what snark does, LWM? Now he's gonna write in how he really is from Gibsonton, and you shouldn't make fun of him, he can't help it, he's from Gibsonton.

And then you're gonna feel really, really bad, LWM, just like I do.

And you brought it on yourself! You, obviously, do not recognise the "fairness doctrine"!

Take warning by me LWM,and do not become soon such as I am now, and he once was, and might be again, oh never mind! Just hear my plea:

(Cue Clinton, George, you dummy, not Bill!)

Give up the snark, you gotta can the snark, please, give up the snark, don't want no snark, oh please stop the snark...

Sadly, No!

is of the best and brightest! It is, like I always say, "just the stuff to give the troops", alternatively, it may also be compared very favorably to the stuff mother makes.

Every post at Sadly, No! is a real sockdolager, filled with boffo yocks.

Would that I had a groatsworth of their allotment of mirth. They've got hogsheads, firkins, meteoric tons even, of the best japes around!

If Obama, heaven forfend, should quit the race today, he would still leave behind him a huge increase in the number of Democratic voters, and an organisation which is finally, instead of fighting for the same slice of "independents and swing voters" (translation: "low information" voters; you can look it up) reaching the potential voters and trying to make up ground for what I see as Democratic negligence of the past twenty years.

Many people do not know: Obama could quit today and still have had an enormous and positive effect on American politics.

That is what many people do not know.

@LWM

I think it was the Gibsonton Lobster Boy. A rich uncle of yours, perhaps?

Now he's gonna write about the heartbreak of psoriasis, and how nobody wants to hold hands with him, and you are gonna feel like hell, fella.

If he cries (and he will) it'll be your fault!

Wright is Wrong!

So Wright spent time helping others. Well, by my halidom, all he was accomplishing was putting people in danger from the negative consequences of altruism! Google it, and find out about how finely social scientists have calibrated the cost-benefit ratio for altruism. They used to be called "the unexpected negative consequences of altruism" but the principle was so firmly established that it was re-named (at a charming ceremony held at the NRO offices) "the inevitable negative consequences of altruism.

Anyway, it has been figgered that that the sum total of the negative consequences of Rev. Wrights altruism could sustain the War On Iraq for .002 seconds.

And that is the man who is only a heartburn from the Presidency!

I knew it, William

so I'm planning to throw a fĂȘte...

And you will probably get sauce all over you!

Typical liberal!

Mooses are pretty reclusive. Entertaining is usually BBQ for family B&Sil's, M&Fil. I haven't seen a napkin ring since I left Lhaung Huyland. I'm from the town that Robin, Goy Wonder, has a High School football pennant for on the wall of his room in Bats!, Man, the first Mad parody of the Adam West TV show.

These days, the big problems at Moosehall are aging parents, and how to help.

Oh, and funny...

you don't look moosish!

Should Girls Make-up their Minds?

This is very serious. 9-11 was the first prong of a two-pronged attack on America's intelligence assets. Experts have estimated almost half of America's intelligence assets were destroyed in the deadly attack.

Now we have the Wright imbroglio. This, I believe, will be culmination of this dastardly plot to make us all dumb as shit.

By the time it's over there won't be a single iota of an intelligence quota from sea to shinig sea.
