Really? Does it give me the chance to throw my shoe at him as well?

Beautiful.

Well, it give His Usurpness the opportunity to show that he makes the trains run on time. Also, a mere glimpse of him is enough to heal the sick, and pay the mortgages of the poor. It's a healing tour.

Reminiscent of the first Clinton inaugural when he rode from Monticello to Washington, retracing the journey of the real Jefferson--Thomas not Billy Blythe. 'Rats are good for nothing if not banal and contrived theatre.

I knew when I heard that Nobama worked in Springfield, IL as a lawyer that he was going to try to portray himself as Lincoln.

Yuk. It's already happening.

If I remember correctly, Abe had a little trouble getting through Baltimore in 1861.

Actually, good ol' Honest Abe never made it to Baltimore. His security people got word of a plot to harm him in Baltimore. So Honest Abe donned a disguise and switched trains in Harrisburg, and rode unmolested to Washington.

Things were not so nice for his family though whom he allowed to continue on for an unpleasant ride through Baltimore. What a swell guy that Honest Abe was.

Nice of the Sock Puppet to compare himself with Lincoln. His little comfortable train trip doesn’t bother me, but that ridiculous comparison does.

I wonder how much traffic disruption this little stunt will cause?

OK, he's gonna do the train thing.

Then, call for volunteers? I never really thought of us as "combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings or by the powers vested in the marshals by law", but I suppose if you're gwine ta do the whole Lincoln thing, that's a logical progression.

It is! It is disgustingly, sickening to see all the hyperbole surrounding this @$$....and even more so, that half the country is swept up by it all too.

Sad sad sad....
