But this is the one thing that's bothering me just this moment.

As you know, the desiccated corpse of the Late H. Lee Atwater will rise from his grave at midnight on Halloween to hand the award for most evil conservative to the one that you choose here in GD. Voting will begin at midnight on All Hallows Eve.

Taking the profitability out of the mighty American war machine is a tremendous task… Frankly, I don't know ANYONE who can take on that behemoth.

But… Making Peace SEXY is a no-brainer and w... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/MrScorpio/124 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 14:30:31 I am forming a new organization. It's completely informal and anyone can join. It has NO organizational hierarchy or leadership and will be made up of a membership of complete equals.

It has only one goal: TO KEEP THE GODDAMNED REPUBLICANS FROM TAKING THE WHITE HOUSE IN 2012.

Here's a quick vid that explains what it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyOHJa5Vj5Y

3. I may not walk up to Skinner and ask him how that Subway endorsement deal is working out for him.

The Right knows this and are doing everything that they can to hamstring Obama and the left by any means possible.

A skill that you've demonstrated in the art that can be creditably compared to the works of Roethke or Morgenstern, or yet even a Suess or Carroll.
