I find YOUR being mad at ME for being mad at something so hypocritical it is hilarious. If nothing is worth getting mad at, why did YOU waste so much time scolding me!?

You bore me, Move on, nothing to see here.

Oh, sorry, don't take offense. I wasn't mad at all, just kidding you a bit about how upset you seemed. Maybe I should have put a smiley or something after my comment to show I was just being light.

Movin' right along, see ya.

OK, I didn’t realize you were joking. It’s sometimes so hard to tell on the internet!

After all... I am the one that always gets all offended, right??

Ha, ha.

Quite so.

Oh, fear not, I've also gotten exercised over things people posted to me that weren't to be taken seriously. Like you say, it's sometimes hard to discern intent over the web.

Anyway, sorry again, and I'll try to be more, um, explicit when I'm just poking fun.

It looks like the elephats eye is the butthole, and the donkey is “well hung”.

subliminal advertising was shown to be ineffective years ago

...which is why Coke and other companies get paid when their products are placed in movies...

No, that's "product placement" -- the products are shown prominently, in return for payment.

"Subliminal" means you don't actually see it, but somehow your subconscious grabs it. Like the shape of a naked woman in the curves of the ice cubes in a glass of whiskey in a magazine ad, or the word "SEX" spelled upside-down in the clouds in a photo background. Cute theory, but when it was tested for effectiveness at getting a message across, subliminal advertising turned out to be indistinguishable from noise.

So as far as the donkey's-butt influencing anybody to vote differently, don't waste your time worrying about it...

If you gotta squint carefully at a picture to draw “symbolism” from it, you officially have too much free time.

If you have to make a reply about something you think is a waste of time you officially have too much time on your hands.

I looked for my “event” this morning but it wasn’t there—but it linked a bunch from California as being “local” to the national mall. I haven’t been doing anything else over there since.

I just sent this via the Edwards campaign site “contact us” link.


I read the Washington Post article, and saw your web site.
I can’t believe you are trying to turn the day intended to remember, reflect and honor those who have given their all in service to their country into an anti-war statement! Or more to the point, a political maneuver. You stand on the graves of fallen troops with an anti-war message, on MEMORIAL DAY. How utterly despicable!

You politicians figure a majority of people are tired of hearing about the war in Iraq. Go for the most votes. Hell, even I’m tired of it. I’m tired of talking with families like mine who have lost someone in uniform, and welcoming them into this “club” no one wants to join. Tired of worrying about relatives and friends who are deployed. I’m fed up with the media and political maneuvering in general. But I will continue to support our troops and the war effort as long as I am able, or until we prevail. The majority of Gold Star parents I know feel the same way.

On Memorial Day, I will be standing beside the graves of my father and my son in Culpeper National Cemetery, not with a protest sign, but an American flag.

Bob, you are right. A bunch of A$$hats, and led by an A$$clown, no less.
