Senator Edward Kennedy

#1 Post by ne1410s » Tue Jun 03, 2008 1:36 pm

had successful brain surgery today to remove the malignant tumor that had caused his seizures. A sizable portion of his brain was removed, however, doctors said they could not remove any more brain material for fear of his being mistaken for Dubya. Or not.

I'm surprised they found any at all.

I'm not surprised that you're surprised. Are you surprised that I was not surprised? I'm not surprised that you were not surprised that I was not surprised. No, really.

No actual surprises were harmed in the production of this thread.
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

No, I was not surprised that you were not surprised that I was surprised. As I was not surprised that there was a knee jerk reference to Bush in your post. Oh, what will you guys do after next January?

Not the same thing you guys did after Bill Clinton went out, which was to keep hauling Bill out and making fun of him every time something remotely critical of Bush was said.

We'll be so relieved we'll start right in on cleaning up the mess and try to forget Bush as soon as possible.

I hope Ted gets better, but has to resign the Senate. He deserves to enjoy the rest of his life and let the other Democrats and the majority of Republicans screw up the country. He's done enough.

Well, for that to happen, someone besides McCain would have to win. And that just won't happen, unless Hillary get the nomination, but the DNC is so out of touch with reality right now, I don't see that happening.
