Why has no one from her staff told her to stop making with the scary faces?

A Syllogism:

A) you have been posting crap

B) you are insulting the intelligence of your readers

C) Emperor Ming would be most disappointed.

I suggest that you bash your own forehead on the clue desk, repeatedly, in a show of contrition.

That's not a syllogism.

Nor is it true. Except maybe the part about Emperor Ming. Ming's funny that way.

Apo's onto something - it is beciming clearer that our elected officials are themselves parasites and consistently act to further enable the large corporate parasites who control the state and jerk us around for their own benefit.

IOW, we are the body, they are the snatchers, and the body politic is presently infested with and threatened by body snatchers. How's that for a syllogism?

Some of us are coming to attention, thus the interest in Obama and Ron Paul. Only Paul's policies would help us rid ourselves of parasites (all the other candidates are clearly pro-big federal government). Although Paul seems to be sporting a few bigots, they don't look like parasites.

Still no dice.

Happy to have inspired you, GB. I enjoyed the Jimmy Carter piece.

Are you going to keep us waiting on your attempt at a syllogism?

I've always posted crap. This ain't no Crooked Timber up in here.

6: After college I volunteered for a year with Habitat for Humanity by way of Americorps/VISTA. Good to know I'm not the only one who came out like that.

Is it wrong that that picture of Clinton kinda turns me on a little?

Good point. I'm going to the bathroom. Be back in a few minutes.

You're going to have to wait until apo gets out of the bathroom, Jackmo.

I am finding this thread more disturbing than super-realistic baby dolls.

Then just keep fantasizing about the dolls until JM finishes up in there. Then you can have a turn.
