    The teabaggers are aware that Project Mayhem was a network of domestic terrorists hellbent on crippling this country, right? Not a bunch of wholesome country folk who believe that grandma is going to get put down with the dog?

    I just want to know why we can't ever have a biscuit and gravy club? I'm thinking the only casualty would be extreme bloat, some digestive sluggishness, and perhaps a few lumps that certainly can be whipped out with a little elbow grease and milk. Great for extra soppage, right? Right. Clearly no fatalities. Just need strong arteries. Win for us all.

    Beating on the short-busers...that's no trend we can believe in. Gravy....always.

    @GuidedbyVices: When I was in high school out there on that lonesome prairie, I thought, the vast gene pool of shallow ignorance of our elders must in time be selected out. Then I went back after some years to a reunion.

    The schools of Texas manage each year to inculcate the valueless themes of the society unto such of their offspring which are unable to think, which is most. That's why it's a terminally red state. They seem very proud of that, so I leave them to it.

    Your visiting of political rumor sites has been causing some problems for the IT staff here at the U.S. Attorney's Office of Massachusetts, but do you know what has never caused us a problem? Our Bose Wave Radio. Its crystal clear sound and slim infrared remote control have provided us with hours of enjoyment in the IT office. And you can experience it for yourself. I guarantee that you'll find it so enjoyable, you will never even miss the Drudge Report.

    How come there are no references us intellectuals can understand? Like, Ted in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, when they come up against a locked door, goes behind a bush to find the key, says, now we have to remember when we're back in the present to place this key here, or else it won't be here to find and we can't go through that door.


    And this was even before blogging!

    Plus, I don't think Nick is quite as motivated by a bottomless pit of self-loathing like Drudge is.
