If this law passes, it'll be a lot harder for Mark Foley to find a date in Kentucky.

The abuse I am receiving here is typical of the mean stuff that gets posted about me. I don't like it, and if it doesn't stop, I'm gonna tell my govanur!

Hey, as long as he doesn't make anonymity in the men's room illegal, I'm a happy man.

In case anyone was wondering, the bill would be a clear violation of the First Amendment. The Supreme Court has squarely held that anonymous speech is an important value protected by the First Amendment. --Bob

According to Ralph Nader, no. The two entrenched parties have put up so many roadblocks that the wannabe third parties can't even get in the room, let alone on the ballot.

BTW, most of the Republicans in Kentucky would've been Democrats thirty years ago. If it weren't for the Reagan Revolution and the "Southern Strategy," Lil Timmy would be just another Copperhead.

So it's Reagan's fault. :D

What is really funny is that this is what BDM has been saying.

Can you imagine, flock and BDM making a new party together?

How can we know what BDM has been saying when he can't drag himself to a computer to say hello to us, these days? :evil:

I can make up anything I want and have you decide whether he has said it or not, now, can't I?

Besides, he has said that for a number of years - even before he decided we were not worthy of a trip to the library to talk to us.
