From what I understand, he was all set with an account and a plan to respond, but then the board marked all messages as read and he completely lost his place.

Fortunately I believe you’re quite mistaken and if the man became aware of the questions he would not be offended at all, as there is no possible cause of offense in them.

How much is a bucket of warm spit worth, anyway?

Of course he won’t. But there’s a certain satisfaction in realizing you’ve done everything you personally can about something you care about. I personally don’t feel I have the right to be angry about something unless I’ve done so. If I refuse to do anything about it, why should I expect anyone else to do so?

You realize that I’m going to have to Google “Joe Biden” + “Warm bucket of spit”. When the Serect Service come for me, I’ll say it’s your fault.

The comment is due to Biden being Vice President.

[John Nance Garner](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Nance_Garner):
