Hey.

Klaatu.

Hey.

How you doin’ buddy? Just wanted to remind you about a promise you made, sure hope you didn’t forget. Don’t worry though, I’m happy to remind you. 🙂

I slept like the proverbial log last night, for the first time in months. WHAT a relief, no Romney taking away Obamacare, etc.

Which might have had some bearing on the election if the nation was actually conservative, and not merely Right leaning moderate.

I am reminded of the folks on this board who actually believed that Kerry was going to win because everyone they knew was going to vote for him.

Throughout this campaign I have been so interested in hearing what people like Klaatu would have to say if Obama won.

I have no hesitation taking someone so brazen and full of bluster to task. Feet to the fire and all that.

I guess to be fair we need to give he/she a few days to respond before really swooping in with demands for an answer. I’ll be in the queue, though.

I have in fact heard of “search”. However, have you heard of time? Since that thread wasn’t started yet, “search” wouldn’t have detected it. It needs to exist first to be found, IOW.
