    I think hasn't yet realized that Salon isn't a wikimedia site. He keeps expecting it to put his name in there.

  • Bluesman Mark

    Are you really blue? I mean the color blue? My real name is ~~~~~ I come from a long line of punctuation marks. My mother was an exclamobang my father was a ^.

    And gary - you're the name of a song, am I right? Is that your real name? Really real name? Is bebob-o the idiot paint huffing poet really his name?

    I used to have a 'real' name. I mean a made up fake name. But people didn't like that either. I think next go round I'll use blanks or smileys or ascii art.

    Rage against that then. When you pour into the streets to rant and protest and shake your fists at God. You do that. GRRRRR!

  • HOTEL CALIFORNIA / GROUNDHOG DAY

    Like millions of other citizens, I wake up each day to the horror that is America under the control of the Bush/Cheney Crime Cartel......it doesn't stop and as hard as it is to believe, it just keeps getting worse and worse, and I can't make it stop,.....I voted for change a year ago and yet, NOTHING has changed, and those elected to institute that change stand by silently as the horror continues,.......tell me THAT's not scary,.......,

  • Punctuation

    "I come from a long line of punctuation marks."

    And you're an *. (See Vonnegut, Kurt for details)

    "Punctuation

    "I come from a long line of punctuation marks."

    Perfect, & it really did make me laugh out loud. I too read "Breakfast Of Champions"

  • @ Tilde Whatever

    "Are you really blue? I mean the color blue?"

    No I'm not. I do understand your simplemindedness, but in this case it simply refers to my favorite type of music, the blues.

    "My real name is ~~~~~ I come from a long line of punctuation marks. My mother was an exclamobang my father was a ^."

    In other words, your parents were related! I thought so. Brother & sister, right?

    "And gary - you're the name of a song, am I right? Is that your real name? Really real name? Is bebob-o the idiot paint huffing poet really his name?

    I used to have a 'real' name. I mean a made up fake name. But people didn't like that either. I think next go round I'll use blanks or smileys or ascii art."

    Actually Mark is my real name. I do prefer to not post my last name, but that's a personal choice. BTW, a blank in place of your name would certainly match your thought process, so I'm in favor of that change for you.

    "Rage against that then. When you pour into the streets to rant and protest and shake your fists at God. You do that. GRRRRR!"

    Nothing there to rage against, as I have better things to do.

    Y'all have a good day now.

  • Throw the bathwater out WITH the Baby!

    I am a lonely liberal. I'm looking for a group to join that is truly a progressive, democratically oriented group (the word "party" doesn't seem to make sense any longer) that has the same inane courage the Republican Party had when they impeached Bill for a sophomoric dalliance.

    For Christ's (oops) sake Bush and the madman Puppeteer Cheney, et alia, have been directly and indirectly responsible for the deaths of more than 20,000 people half of whom will have been our brothers, cousins, fathers, wives, girlfriends. All of which they have blamed on others' madness, not their own.

    How does this square with what Bill did?! It doesn't! Why isn't there a groundswell, yes, even a tsunami, inexorably moving toward a genuine impeachment process? How about an Impeachment Party?! Now THAT is one I'd happily join and contribute to.
