And millions of whining special-interest big-government entitled
pantywaists vote democrat.  it's still weak.  what's YOUR point?

  geez, dude, get a dictionary and look up "parody".  or "satire".  i was
*attempting* to use an analogy, and sometimes people are so thick, you
need to pretty much whap them upsides the head to make them see it.

  the point i was trying to make was made at least as eloquently by
anatole france:

  "If a million people say a foolish thing, it is still a foolish thing."

rday

p.s.  not to throw fuel on the fire but, if i was a republican, i'd be 
*real* careful about accusing others of being "big-government
entitled".  talk about irony.

p.p.s.  by the way, you'll notice how the entire effect of my sarcasm
would have been lost with top posting.  see?  there's my point. :-)
