What's a little spraying with bird shot? You can go back to work and
tell everyone how bad the mosquitos were.

Yeah, he can do that after he gets out of intensive care.

I believe he went to intensive care because of his age, not the
wounds. I was sprayed with birdshot (abouot 200 yards away) when I
was a kid. I had a split second to duck my head when I heard the shot
hitting the tobacco barn. I had several shot hit my hat, and two his
my hand. Left a welt - didn't even break the skin.

I was hit by several hundred pellets from a number of guns (don't know how
many.....couldn't see them) one day this past summer. Didn't hurt a bit.
On the other hand, I've also been shot with a BB gun (long time
ago).....hurt like hell. And friends of mine have had to have them
surgically removed. I'm guessing Mr. Whittington's experience was more like
the latter.....in spades. Your vapid reminiscences, as usual, add nothing
to the discussion......not even humor.

There'll be lots of jokes, as there should be, sorta like the stain on
the blue dress dontchaknow. d;o)

Yeah.....that's right......it's Klinton's fault.

Dick Cheney on John Kerry in 2004:

http://www.time.com/time/nation/arti...159061,00.html


"If Cheney now finds himself criticized or lampooned, he'll ironically
be in the same position he himself put Senator John Kerry in during the
final days of the 2004 Presidential campaign, though the circumstances
then did not involve a potentially deadly accident. At the time, Cheney
used his widely-known experience as a hunter to mock a duck-hunting
foray in Ohio in which Senator John Kerry ended up shooting a goose.
"The senator who gets a grade of 'F' from the National Rifle
Association went hunting this morning," Cheney reportedly said, to
hoots. "I understand he bought a new camouflage jacket for the
occasion, which did make me wonder how regularly he does go goose
hunting." As the Texas incident shows, experience does not make
hunters immune to accidents, which is why hunting advocacy groups put
such a relentless focus on safety as the top priority. "

You're, of course, assuming that Bush IS a conservative,

Actually, no. I think I'm far more conservative than Bush in many areas,
especially fiscal responsibility. BUT, Bush/Rove do have the adman repeat
the mantra style down and that is what I cited when using the phrase
"Bush-like"

Sidenote:
I often wonder what 'conservative' now means ... I live within my budget,
( my only debt is what remains on my mortgage ). If I want something I
can't afford I look for ways to make the money BEFORE I buy. If I must buy
something I can't afford ( emergency ) I instantly look for ways to increase
my income, maybe go back to work. I am 'liberal.'

Most of the people that I deal with are younger than me, Yuppies or 'old
money,' Republican voters and call themselves 'conservative.' A
tremendously high percentage are in debt up past their ears, measure their
own worth ONLY by what they own ( it's the only thing they ever mention
about themselves, so I'm forced to think it is their only self measure),
think deficit and debt doesn't really matter, show ZERO real interest in
what the world will be like after they are gone and want to use up as much
as they possibly can while here. They are 'conservatives' ..... just what
is you guys 'conserve'?? G


Yeah, once he's told what to believe. ;-)


Possibly true, humans are all subject to human nature. But, at least at
the level of social issues, I'd bet 15 to one on most 'liberals' at least
trying to listen to the views of others over most 'social conservatives'
But, this roffian zoo shows that few on either side listen past hearing
something they think they can argue with ... I point that out because it
really is on the same thread as 'sound bite culture' ... communication, the
act of honestly trying to share and understand other's ideas, even if the
belief in them is not shared, is dying fast over all our culture. I think
this is largely because of TV and it's effect on HOW we think, not what we
think....i.e. sound bite grab em in 10 seconds cause that is all they can
handle, thinking.




Talk about yer oversimplification! Hoo boy.
--

Again my point was about the effect of 'admen' and 'sound bite culture' on
political outcomes .... I don't get the impression that is what you are
responding to G As an experiment, in your own mind, try to formulate
'sound bite' messages for both sides of one issue ... stem sell research
using the little 4 cell 'embryos' produced as part of some infertility
treatments. Note how easy ( regardless of your true belief, that is NOT the
subject, sound bite advertizing is the subject ) it is to conjure up a few
words and 'inspiring' images to support the side that believes those four
cells are 'a human.' Note how difficult it is to present a QUICK argument
for research of unknown outcome, demanding a degree of ethical care, but in
the long term very likely producing great improvements for humans that have
actually grown past 4 cells and have brains and families and friends and are
more than just DNA, are actually humans i.e. self aware social animals.

Again, MY issue here is not the stem cell issue, itself, rather the
suitablity of the various 'sides' for adman tactics in our culture.

Bush is Pres not because of his actual personal quality. Rather an adman
found him and made him the neocon product spokesman. That is my point, and
I believe I'm right ... I will try to listen to opposite opinions, but admit
that I already have thought about this a lot and believe that Bush was
choosen BECAUSE he was a very common person, not too bright, easy to
manipulate, eager to be a 'true believer,' had lots of money, a 'good
family political name' and just the right amount of 'good looks' ..enough to
present well on TV but not so much as to leave Clyde in Tulsa feeling
inferior.

And the news this afternoon said that he was out of IC and shouldn't
have been admitted to it. His "injuries" are worse than Kerry's VN
wounds.

Come to think of it, if Kerry had been hunting with Cheney ("Can I get
me a huntin' license here?"), we'd have to issue five or six more
Purple Hearts.

What astounds me to this day is that as a matter of routines, we
(liberals) keep getting our asses kicked and it's just crap like this
that cause it. It was a freeking hunting accident with enough
negligence happening to result in a man being shot. It's not like he
shot the man by purposedly pointing the gun at him. Just what the hell
in this case is there to get away with?

We can bitch about balance and justice all the day long but when we
can't be balanced and fair, by what ethical standard can we hold them?

Where did I say it was Clinton's fault? Jokes were hot and heavy over
the blue dress, and they will be hot and heavy over this. PERIOD. No
blame. No fault. Just a funny time. Once again, you show your

Moron.

You're calling me a moron, Girly Boy, and you can't read a sentence
properly? Two phunny.


You must be havin' another bad day, Girly Guy. Didja go by the
playground and have the kids steal your lunch money (shiney nickles
and all) again? I think that's where you got the "shiney nickle"
schtick - having lost so many when you were a kid at the playground.
And now you're STILL a girly boy complaining. tsk tsk tsk Maybe
that's why you stink so much; you've **** your pants so many times
when you were a kid that the stink is stuck to ya.
