All I ever have to do is just mention the name 'Jim McNamara' and he will
show up here like a bad penny. He is your eternal stalker. I have to give
him something to do so he won't feel he is being neglected. His delicate ego
just won't take that, so I will show him some mercy by teasing him a bit.

Tom Sherman is my one and only nemesis here on ARBR. I have learned over the
years that he is a viper and you have to be careful when treading around
him. He strikes when you least expect it. I have advised him over and over
that he should emigrate to la belle France where they have a sensible work
week with lots of holidays and long summer vacations, but I think he is
addicted to work. He is an ant and knows not the ways of a grasshopper like
me.

Wilson, the Dems are going to win big this time around for sure. Those high
gas prices get to everyone one way or another. But this does not mean that
B. Hussein O. is going to be president unless McCain screws it up which he
is more than capable of doing.

I am so pissed off at the way both the Dems and the Repubs have conducted
their confounded primaries that I may well sit out this election. Maybe I
will emigrate to la belle France along with Tom Sherman where we can both
critique America from a safe distance for the rest of our lives.

"Jim McNamara, you are my perennial stalker. How would I ever get
though the week without you here to remind me of what a jackass I
am." That quote of yours can be found in the Google Archives for ARBR
too. Glad to drop in now and then to remind you of what a jackass you
are.

This pres election sucks, if you vote Dem or GOP.

On the Dem side we have a choice between the wife of a former Pres who
did such a great job he was almost impeached, who had New York handed to
her by the Dem machine. The woman is not fit to slop pigs, and her
character would make a billy goat puke. The main reason for paying any
attention to the conventions at all is to see how rudely and bitterly
this shrew dismounts her dying campaign.

Then there's the reluctant Moslem, who seems to have based his
political career on the concept that people can't hold your past
decisions against you if you never make any. Is he still tossing water
bottles everywhere?...

On the GOP side we have a war hero who once noted that "we could stay in
Iraq for ,,, a thousand years..." and that we'd most likely have to bomb
Iran at some point. And at a time when the US economy is quite possibly
the worst it's been since the /first/ great depression, he has admitted
more than once that he doesn't know much about economics (aside from
what he learned with the rest of the Keating Five, I suppose).

I used to vote pro-gun, which was almost always Republican. This time
around I tend to think sound US currency is a greater issue, and only
Kuncinch and Paul ever mentioned it. Kuncininch dropped out way early
and Paul is sticking with it, although the mainstream media has tried to
ignore him.
