    Mr. Baldie

    Timothy, I love you're wurk two but can you please tsop talking about the rule of law and talk more about what concerns americanms like the economy and Bill Ayers trust in the police. looser

    Look, my be-night-ed "friend," the economy is what its all about. Nay say pass? You may insult me (go ahead!) all you want, but the workers in Detroit are sure to be unhappy! (and by that I mean, not happy). These unionistic anti-Americans are about to feel the truth if what I am sayin' :) (Happy Palin! Next President of the United States--minus Alaska). And what is that? Well, friend, its simply that the "son of man" (for those who read they're Bible, and if you don't. well, its two late anyway) isn't who you think it is. No, the SON OF PERDITION (okay, Barack) will lead you down willowy paths which end--dare I put it?--in perdition!!!!

    Don't take my word for it, friend (and I say this elastically): you may well have your anti-(you now), but there are those of us--YES--who will avoid this pit and be translated (and I don't mean one of your newfangled languages, like Greek).
