Eagler, before I'll respond to you, you need to know the difference between a s-e-n-a-t-o-r and a g-o-v-o-r-n-e-r. Talking with you is like beating up a drunk. It doesn't phase the drunk, all it does is bruise your hands.
Seriously though Eagler old boy, chill out. We're shooting the bull here, and having fun. Just don't think you can start spouting your right-wing horse hockey, and expect everyone in the world to start clapping and cheering. This isn't personal, I'm just having fun. If you start taking it too personally, maybe you're trying real hard to be a member of "Club Touchy."
I'm not willing to call you a card-carrying member yet, just realize that some people have fun verbally jousting, and can do so without feeling like they have to go kick their dog because someone said something on a UBB they didn't agree with.
Udie, I like you. You're silly.
And Udie, thanks for proving my theory about Paranoid Republicans. Well, not ALL Paranoid Republicans. You're so absorbed in your self-righteousness and suspicion of the media, that you can't tell when someone's playing with your words.
"was stupid, in my view anyway."
It's called "a play on words." I don't think you're really stupid. You obviously let this one sail right past you, but I don't think you're stupid.
And as far as "how easy we all forget," that was just in case there was a Pachyderm or two out there that was going to start crowing if this silly re-count (by the GASP! Liberal Media) started to sway Bush's way, that's all. If it's over and done with, it's over and done with. If it's not, let's do what I thought the whole damn state should have done in the first place, and re-vote the whole darn thing. Maybe if they got a second chance, they might be able to count the votes with some bit of accuracy.
And no, very rarely does a liberal have to resort to personal attacks when engaging Paranoid Republicans. We simply point out things they've said, how they've voted on issues, and what they've done in the past politically. Very seldom does one need to resort to the kind of verbal attacks Paranoid Republicans use against Democrats.
Now, let's put on our Hazardous Materials suits, and stop taking this all so seriously. If you guys are going to get all in a snit, start taking this seriously, and get all bent out of shape, I'll stop.
I just thought we could have some good-natured fun. If I'm going to have insults hurled at me from the Pinnacle of Righteousness, I'll try and find a group to play with who can have fun with it, and not act like they're on the verge of taking their basketball, and going home.
But, by the same token, don't let me catch you repeating some kind of Rush-esque mantra, and not expect me to come in with guns blazing. But they're happy guns. They mean no malice personally to anyone.
Now, off to watch my Missouri Tigers beat the stuffing out of the Wildcats. Go Tigers!
