He's stuck to his main thesis well. Have to admire that. In the long run, more cars will burn, but I think he leaves a greater chance of repproachement.

I just made up that word, as I can't remember the correct spelling.
Yes. he apparently mostly believes his own stuff.

I was absolutely shocked that (a) it took 12 days of riots before the local governments were granted emergency powers and (b) that it took the national government to grant those powers.

Their world is different.

P.S. Rapprochement (with some fancy things over a couple letters).

I'm not talking about the WMD thing. I'm talking about all the other lies, misrepresentations and spin this admin has put out to blur their agenda. And I don't have the fucking time to list them all here.

And if you need them listed, or think this admin hasn't set a new standard for hiding the ball and bullshitting, you're in the Syd Barrett realm of self delusion.

Why is it not honorable to say the truth? Is that why Bush lies so much?

1. Blogs as citable authority went the way of Ty (of the present), i.e. gone.

2. Ty@50 has admitted that he has "much to regret". See: citing blogs as authority.

3. Even assuming that guy is correct in his blog, he cites that 80% of women are using deodorant. that leaves 20% of women stinking. And 100% of men. And notice, there was no mention of soap and water.

That is still a stinky country nox4. I fantasise a higher ideal for you. Platonically.

When you had your coke induced freak out do you think that there was any period of diminished oxygen to the brain?

I care. You know I care.

When you post stuff like this you validate the claims of third rate hack socks, like lo-berry. You are better than that.

Thank you for thinking of me, but when they wash, (some of them) are most sexy, though I'll admit it's been awhile...but they surely are better at the hygiene thing now than before, if anything. They couldn't be getting...stinkier? Ce sera impossible!

I'm not sure what this means, but a cautionary warning says, stay away from the path of Ty. It leads to nothing but regret. Hank knows what I mean.

Modern strains of bacteria have become not only more resistant to anti-bacterial agents but more pungent in their delivery systems.

It means I knew how much you love blog citations, and I was only thinking of you. I'm accomodating like that.

I do not know what you mean. I have never found Mr. Slothrop to use his power improperly to censor, bash or humiliate me. Nothing any moderator or administrator has ever done was in the least bit improper. I am all the way happy, and do not have any complaints.

Also, FWIW, I do not beleive Ms. Paigow will be in charge someday. I also believe Mr. Slothrop will not change his political beliefs. I feel that Ty@50 sock does a disservice to a great man's name.

"Conservative Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson told citizens of a Pennsylvania town that they had rejected God by voting their school board out of office for supporting "intelligent design" and warned them Thursday not to be surprised if disaster struck."

At what point does one logically decide that entering into a coalition with loonies as the only way to advance one's economic views is no longer viable?

Especially given that one's economic views arguably do not include "spending tax money like a drunken sailor"?
