The first family, coming to a Republic near you. (Thank you God.)
What does that pic have to do with his too-numerous-to-mention Clinton hack selections?
I decided instead of complaining yet again about your cow birding your words yo header someone else's article, I'd post that instead. I decided to ground my response in my very genuine feeling of appreciation for this very genuine and wonderful guy and his beautiful family. I know you warp the rules because you loathe him, so this is a quid pro quo posting. I am not going to complain about what is intention based behavior. I'll just produce some of my own when appropriate.
I haven't a clue what you're trying to say. If it has something to do w/the title of this article, and it displeases you, up yours you anal retentive freak. Are you off sick report? Can I resume kicking your sorry leftist ass?
Your perceptions are your perception, mine are mine. I am not going to be able to be in here much of this holiday season, but I have yet to feel any sense you "are kicking my ass" as you put it. You let this election season hold you as an emotional hostage, I see no point to that and take what you say with a grain of salt, and I don't let it become personal. I feel the way I do and believe what I believe, and have yet to see effective or compelling evidence or argument to move toward your advocacy. I understand you better then you think, you have had real life experience that does come through compared to some I've known in here. But as someone who has had it much rougher and more contentious then I have ever had in these shadow boxing dens of forums in many ways, I don't sweat the small stuff. And I don't ever feel heat from forums like these. That is very much a clear reality check. I am bored in choir forums like DU and handle being outnumbered with a healthy percentage of opponents living for the low blow or even the back stab. I am fascinated by this election as it has given me perspective and food for thought I don't share, but I find valuable. However, I have a job this and next month that is heavy in time demand and I have to go back to Seattle more then once on top of it, so to be fair to you I would say don't waste too much time sending rounds downrange. I would love to engage right back, but I just won't be able to do much in that regard until Yule is over. I hope you have a good holiday season, and try to relax and pace yourself. There will be plenty to talk about up to and through this inauguration on 20 Jan 2009. I'll still be around, and so will you.
That's almost as profound as the old standby, "You'd have done the same thing if you were me."

Yup, or "this will hurt you more then it hurts me." That saw of mine is old, but still appropriate in here when people confuse opinion differences with freind/foe on a personal level issues.
Ken Kesey was horrible to be around after his son died in a crash on his way to a University of Oregon wrestling match. He would reflexively attack and verbally maim anyone and everyone around him. So much so it was very epic, Ken never did anything halfway. (This was a couple of years before I met him and started being a regular at his ranch in Pleasant Hill.) A woman whom he scorched severely verbally one too many times finally got to him in a way that helped his healing process. She said, and I paraphrase; "Ken, you can attack us all you want, but it is of no use. It doesn't matter what you or do to attack us with slights and snarls. We still love you and refuse to do otherwise, deal with it." It was one of many things talked about allot at his wake, and he himself said that impacted him hard and made a difference. Ken had been a UO wrestler himself and it was like part of him died in that crash. There is a bronze relief sculpture at the summit that is a memorial for Ken Kesey’s son Jed and Lorenzo West. Jed and Lorenzo were killed on the way to a wrestling match when the van they were in encountered white-out conditions and plunged over a 300 foot cliff. http://movingtoeugene.net/?p=17
