Yay I’m on a list, finally. I’m quite happy to be linked to all those posters even though there are some I disagree with almost 100% when it comes to politics. BTW dipshit you missed a couple of foreigners on that list. I’ll let them tell you who. oh and it’s **y** ojimbo. If I wanted a Y I would have joined that way. ---

The last thing I need is to be associated with some half-witted, dippy shit, smelly hippies with as much intellectualism as Rolling Stone affords. Man. Well, the last thing before the kind of insightfulness Milum offers. btw, he’s clearly a Monkees fan, probably with a particular interest in Davy. In fact, I can imagine him now, leg-a-cock in velvet trousers and bashing his . . . tambourine. ---

From there to say “The US has to take care of the mess France made” is a long way. The US supported Saddam Hussein for 20 years, provided him with arms, logistics and information (CIA) during the war.

I am honored to be in such august company (as opposed to **december** company), but feel guilty about inclusion while such worthies as **elucidator** are left off the list. I’ll trade him my spot for a minor grammatical consideration. ---

**Milum** ’s list reminds me of the [NRA’s list of foes](http://www1.jointogether.org/gv/news/summaries/reader/0,2061,567251,00.html). > [@](#): > > Among the groups making the long list are the A.F.L.-C.I.O, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Children’s Defense Fund, the Lutheran Office for Governmental Affairs, the United States Catholic Conference, the U.S. Conference of Mayors, and the Y.W.C.A. of the U.S.A. I mean, sometimes it is uplifting to be on somebody’s list of enemies 🙂 ---

Somehow seeming my name of the list reminds me of a classic Simpsons bit: Skinner: . . .and Ralph Wiggam Ralph: Woo Hoo! I won, I won. Skinner: No Ralph, this mean’s you’re failing English. Ralph: Me Fail English? That’s Unposssible! Wow, a bigot put me on his “probationary” list, just when I thought free donut Friday couldn’t get any better. . . 😉 ---
