  1. it's interesting to me though not really that surprising that almost everything the right wing has supposedly cared about turns out doesn't really matter to them. only their hatreds seem to be something you can rely on.
  2. my belief is that a good many people who are a lot smarter than us here and infinitely more connected with the process of our form of government have considered the situation with the senate sitting there itching to swat anything reasonable into the far ether and have concluded that a cat-and-mouse approach is the only good way to deal with this. any overt attack directly on the bonehead or his cabal of clowns gives the senate its go-button. we have to paint the picture for the populace in such subtlety that we never give a broadsides look to the senate. we aren't likely to start getting the final word on this until a whole bunch of senators are under the refrigerator again.
  3. also a woman is said to have drunk herself to death. too much of a good thing isn't a good thing.
  4. this software sucks the bananas right out of their peels.
  5. the black plague did not disappear. there are a few cases and occasionally an outbreak from time to time. it was bad hygiene and unsanitary conditions that gave it its horsepower back in the day. edit: people tend to snicker at advances like the toilet, but the people who did the inventing and the people who promoted the usage don't get anything like the credit they deserve for improving the lives of us all.
  6. so, basically, piss on the democrats for not being republicans?
  7. there are two vaccines now. one just came out last year. the effectiveness of the old vaccine for the 50 plus comedy act was somewhat putrid but did give some benefit to others. supposedly the new vaccine is very effective for all who can do it. problem now is availability. the demand must be pretty insane.
  8. have you considered the vaccine? if you haven't been active for a lengthy period you should be a prime candidate to take it. it doesn't just prevent c-pox, it also prevents shingles for someone like you.
  9. there is a strong recommendation from the manufacturer that anyone with an active case should wait through 6 months of inactivity before doing the vaccine. apparently you only have one shot at doing this, and if the stuff is active when you do it, you get no benefit. i have an active case 24/7/52. i can't take the cure. now, i don't have the ex-crew-she-ate-ing pain that so many have. just a burning itch now and then. often several times a day. very uncomfortable but not really into pain. it doesn't break out into a real case but just simmers. when i hang 'em up, my bugs may hang 'em up too.
  10. piss on the guy, but for the kids' sake i hope none develops the ongoing shingles problem i have. shingles. used to be the only worry i had regarding shingles was shoddy construction in high wind.
  11. what i said had nothing to do with obama. i'm talking about the far right underground. murdoch, talk radio, koch bros, &c. more: my belief is the far right had this coup in mind with nixon, but they hadn't done anything like enough prep. so murdoch, radio, &c patting down the grass for reagan but still not enough.
  12. intelligence is not the issue. there's a national level delirium that's causing the problem. it's an offshoot of faith. someone can be very intelligent and be blinded by the delirium.
  13. oh, absolutely. as awful as this is, it has been going on in the dark, probably all our lives. now it is out in the open and vying to take over. previously there was no chance we could deal with this in an effective way. any attempt would be characterized as bullying or some such and the presumed shield of innocence would be drawn across their bloated and fetid grins. with their coming out, we are invited to deal with them. if we don't, they win either now or later.
