You would be too if the workmen that are outside my window were outside your window.

Well you know, a few of us are trying to haul people around on our little train engines, but we still all have to get off the tracks when the big steam engine comes barreling through.

I'm not sure how well this analogy holds. O'Connor created the concept of the Church without Christ, where the blind don't see, the lame don't walk, and what's dead stays that way, where Faulkner just drank and wrote overlong, rambling, nonsensical . . . wait, I see your point.

So you're the Kennedy-type Democrat. Like you say you want to help little people, but you also don't want them on your estate, except as servants; is that you?

I am going to shove the tools being used by the workmen up your ass. It's kind of a quick death, and I regret that, but the blood will probably short them out thus killing two fucking annoying birds with one stone.

Huh. When he said that he was bothered by people working, I just naturally assumed he was a Republican.

(A really, really angry Republican, too.)

Ouch.

Might I suggest an office not quite so close to street level? It's time to move up in the world, Fringey.

Fringe is a girl. She's a lot like Taxwonk, they both say they're overweight and they both have trouble with logic progression in argument style. fringe also has severe mental problems. About 2 weeks ago she wrote about how the people around her when she was institutionalized smiled all the time after shock treatment. Unfortanely, while fringe is quite overweight, she isn't quite NAAFA size, so she is on her own as to dealing the fat haters that populate the world.

Like the workman "bothering" her. Decent chance she tried to flash them some boobie through the window and they did something like cover the window with a tarp. That can really hurt a girl's feelings.

A strike against Edwards? Wrong-o. Current Edwards supporters aren't gonna give a shit about an alleged Confederate past.

This is a sign that Rove truly has no respect for the idiot masses he's manipulating. (Hi, Hank!) Anyone who's spent even five minutes in the South knows that there are two kinds of Southerners --- (1) those who are proud of the South and think the wrong side won the War Between the States because slavery was doomed anyway, and (2) those who are proud of the South and think the wrong side won the War Between the States, period. Telling Southerners that Edwards is in group (1) will lose Rove some traction in the swing states, who are proud that there are intellectual Southerners who bleed for the Confederacy but think that slavery sucked balls, and that black people deserve some fucking respect for their "heritage," too.

Rove can have the others. He's earned their vote, FWIW.

We'll this is certainly progress. You are no longer insinuating that all southerners are racists.

edited to say "all southerners are racists."

Following the theory that one should know her enemies, I know enough about Rove to strongly believe that he had nothing to do with this pathetic attempt. He's not that dumb. This is akin to buying ads in Memphis accusing Edwards of being a closet NASCAR fan. It's sort of the opposite of "damning with faint praise."

WTFityFingF are you talking about? A huge portion of my family is in the South, and they're the less racist side. When have I said/insinuated that all Southerners are racist?

I was wondering that, too. As you pointed out, just because one agrees with the concept of slavery in the abstract doesn't necessarily make one a racist fuck.

You're right, you didn't call out the south per se, only the red states. I made the leap.

It must be comforting to be sooooo perfect as to be capable to make judgements like this about groups of people.

Where's the flip-flop? He's saying that Congress should have given the President the authority he sought -- i.e., the war powers -- but that the President should have used his authority more wisely. Makes sense to me, although I'm not sure I fully agree.
