In my perfect world, you would write one of every 25 majority opinions for the US Supreme Court.

You'd be wearing a mumu and communicating by kazoo right now.

You miss the point. I don't want to be at work, but I don't think everyone should leave. (Spanky, especially, needs to stay, so we can get more wildlife stories.)

Of course I miss the point, but you miss the point. Everyone should go in both instances, and you secretly think it. We all think it.

Who would make my dinner and keep the internet running???? Who'd make the wine? And make sure I have electricity and running water?

Good god, man. I don't think everyone should stop working.

Democrat voters low on enthusiasm

By Ralph Z. Hallow
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
February 23, 2006

Democrats, after 11 years as the minority party in Congress, still
can't get it right with their own voters, a poll shows.

By objecting to virtually every initiative and proposal of the
Bush administration and congressional Republican majority, Democrats
are undermining their party's chances of regaining the majority this
fall, the John Zogby poll of 1,039 likely voters suggests.

While House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California, Senate
Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada and other visible Democrats in
Washington pick fights with Republicans, the poll shows that 58
percent of rank-and-file Democratic voters say their leaders should
"accept their lower position in Congress and work together with
Republicans to craft the best legislation possible."

Only 6 percent of Democratic respondents say the No. 1 goal for
their party's lawmakers in Congress should be to bury Republican bills.

The poll suggests that many Democratic voters accept their
party's minority status. Nearly a quarter of Democrats -- 23 percent
-- say Republicans do a better job running Congress.

"Democrats nationwide now seem to be adopting this
minority-status mind-set," says Fritz Wenzel, Zogby International
spokesman. "Democrats are tired of the warring and bitter
partisanship that goes on inside the Washington Beltway."

The Democratic National Committee disputes that interpretation.

"The poll reconfirms what Americans have been saying for months:
Under Republican leadership, America is headed in the wrong
direction," said DNC communications director Karen Finney. "The truth
is, a lot of Democrats know that Republicans aren't doing a good job
running Congress, and a strong majority have faith in Democratic
leadership and ideas."

The Zogby survey also finds that 29 percent of Republican voters
deem their party's leadership in Congress a "failure because it has
passed legislation that has caused massive increases in federal
spending and has not made meaningful progress on issues important to
the rank-and-file Republicans."

"Republicans have lost a third of their support in their own
ranks," Mr. Wenzel said. "Respondents who identify themselves as
'conservative' or 'very conservative' are leading the way in
unhappiness over the growth in government since 2001 and the
ballooning federal spending and budget deficits."

Republicans in competitive races who are looking to hold on to
their elected offices can take comfort in the poll's finding that 61
percent of Republican voters think the Republican-led Congress "has
passed much legislation during the past 11 years that has reflected
Republican values."

The Zogby poll indicates that Democratic voters are less
enthusiastic about their party's representation of their interests
and values in Washington. About 55 percent said congressional
Democrats did a good job on that score, and 43 percent said they did not.

The poll's margin error was 5.1 percentage points for the
Democratic and Republican subgroups sampled.

Fuck no. I do not think everyone should leave work. I'd be happy if I didn't have to work. But knowing that everyone else did have to would make me a whole lot happier.

Plus, I need someone to make stuff for me.

You selfish bastard. You want to have your cake and eat it.

I'm at least ready to sacrifice my own comforts and live in a post-apocalyptic wasteland for the benefit of not having to work.

I think we need to get back to nature, live more simplistically and such...

I'd dig breeding like an apeman and killing boars. I'd get along smashingly with the Sleestacks.

Imagine what your wife, and other women for that matter, would look like without benefit of science and exercise machines. And you want your wife being pregnant and giving birth in a world where no one works as a healthcare provider?

Knock it off with the chest-pounding and smoke-blowing. Seriously, it's annoying on this topic, given how very materialistic you are (liquor, shoes, shirts, suits, cars).

Alternatively, I need to get laid and/or get some non-sexual exercise.

no offense, but if we actually lived in Caveman days, you would be my bitch. I'd have you go gather food for me. If I ever let you breed one of my females, it'd be like nfh or someone like that. you should be grateful for the rule of law.

Alternatively? How are my being a king hypocrite and your needed to get a piece mutually exclusive? Do you know something about the universe I don't?

Rubbish. I'd serve you wormwood whiskey. Once blinded, you'd be catching for the entire tribe. A primordial Mr. Magoo meets Howl.

What Democrats need to do is get more advice from Republicans like Spanky and the Washington Times.
