this is a lovely if somewhat public private thread we got goin' here, micko. perhaps at the moment i'm GOP kryptonite with my initial two posts. where're the courageous rebuttals, the righteous outrage, the beloved idiocy??? well, i'm sure some other O'Lielly/Limbaughtomy-fanned topic will soon arise with which to flog them accursed peacenik humanists (we'll be here; we're not going anywhere. in fact, there are those who think we'll inherit the Earth, but no one really listens to those hippie fruitcakes anymore, not with so much to do in the service of the Dark Lords. and, of course, there won't be much left by the time they're done raping and pillaging. it's enough to make you want to buy an armor-plated Hummer so you can comfortably navigate the burned out landscape of our smoldering American dreams...and if i ain't drivin', then i call shotgun!)

sorry, where was i?

ah yes...the intentional hand cut in need of instant medication. it's come to that? well, still love ya. might even read that book you wrote of. time for a book post in a new topic, i think, but at the moment my Birkenstocks need a gentle loofa scrubbing and i've got to treat the herb garden out back with a non-chemical-based insect spray. ta ta!
