BTW, Chronolicht, the girls I’m eyeing in my classes are hot Asian chicks, usually wearing mini-skirts! Just thought I’d take a second to point that out… 
Well, “F” sounded good, but I want to keep the daughters for my own purposes. Can we make that “G”?
George V. Bush doesn’t look simian to me. Think weasel. Low-down, chicken-thieving weasel. No-good, yellow-bellied, lily-livered weasel. Yeah, man, weasel.
All that mangled syntax, atrocious spelling, incoherent rambling, and misty logic is from a guy who claims Bush is stupid. I guess you really are the perfect judge of stupidity. My hat’s off to ya. Nice work.
Now that you’ve exposed the Great Republican Conspiracy®, you’d better watch out for the black helicopters.
Rocket88, is work full time on a senatorial race in 2002. If I have to move to a state where there is a proper race, I’ll do it. Casual use of cocaine doesn’t mean shit. Your language --yes, you–is littered with Freudianisms and he was a cokehead of the first order. That doesn’t stop you from underwriting his twisted reality, does it? Be consistent.
Astro–you are pathetic. A giant, slovenly, sebacious, Republican English Professor without a facility for words? A lumbering contradiction who can’t remember his last address? Come on!
“All that mangled syntax, atrocious spelling, incoherent rambling, and misty logic is from a guy who claims Bush is stupid. I guess you really are the perfect judge of stupidity. My hat’s off to ya. Nice work.”
Didn't peg you for a tight-assed grammarian. Ante up. Where is the evidence? Where is the mangled syntax? Where are the errata?
Do you claim the contrary? Do you actually think he is bright?
You and Strunk and White could triple team me in the rhetorical ring and you would all be left bloody, your malt soda paunches quivering in despair.
It is telling that you see only form not function. You play a groping game on the back of things. A little helpful preemptive caveat: don't waste your time parsing my words to prove your point, although you will be hard pressed to do so. What you must bear in mind is that this is entirely pedestrian discourse. You ought to have the generosity of spirit to forgive the occasional misspelling or split infinitive. Try to deal with the issues. Then maybe you will come to a point of consciousness where you can see that the measure of a civilization is how the commonweal is distributed. You might be getting yours, but there are a lot of industrious people who aren't. Schmuck.“The real reason I’m not terribly happy over Bush’s ascendancy is that I don’t care for him that much. I’m very much afraid his detractors will be proven correct that he’s a lightweight.”

You might want to use a semicolon after ‘correct’, or create another sentence to finish the thought.
“There ought to be limits to freedom.”
George JuniorSemicolons are used to separate closely related independent clauses. “that he’s a lightweight,” is not an independent clause.
Practice what you preach, brother.
Hey Now!!! NEVER TEASE A WEASEL!!!
That was merely my latest post, Chronolicht. You’ve not addressed my initial missive. You know, the one where I attacked your logic and conclusions. You chose to not battle on that field, so I attempted a new tactic.
Now, to continue my offensive on both fronts, here’s first, an example of your poor prose “Among the many gafs you will hear in the next four years, there will never be anything of substance.” I think this single sentence contains a sample of all of your grammatical violations.
And, to complete the pincer movement, I refresh my attack on your logic, or rather, lack of. Your initial sentence in this thread asks, “Is George Jr. really as stupid as they say?” And that was the last we heard of your presumably primary concern. I find it logically inconsistent, not to mention ironic, that you titled this thread, in part, “He’s off message!” This is a wonderful observation from a man who appears to be totally incapable of making a point himself. Your paucity of reason is frightening.
Twisted realities indeed. I beg to differ, dear boy, and I’ll have you know I underwrite none but my own.
In any event, no need to get pissy with me. I didn’t select Shrub, just under half the electorate (with a little help from the courts) did. Go take your venom out on the voters who think GWB is the right guy for our modern times.
And rating the October Surprise over Watergate (not even mentioning it, yet!). Really.

To help UncleBeer I’d love to take your sentences apart, but there are so many errors it would take a few hours. I don’t ahve that kind of time, you see, because my life is not dependent on posting on a message board to rile people up.
"What fucking rock have you been under for the past year? Son of a bitch man, pick up a newspaper, turn on the goddamned television, tune in the radio, read a magazine. And if his deficiencies haven’t been publicized, how in the wide, wide world of sports did you come about this select knowledge? Beamed straight to your brain by Ralph Nader? What the fuck?
Air pollution? You mean like that bastion of whacky green liberalism, California? High rate of incarceration? I seriously doubt that Dubya wrote and unilaterally imposed the Texas penal code. To assert that is just fucking stupid. "

The fact that a condition exists prior to a specific administration doesn’t mean that they aren’t responsible for addressing it themselves. The argument is specious, like any other myopic totalization of a problem.
“That was merely my latest post, Chronolicht. You’ve not addressed my initial missive.”
How does the chronology of your posting affect my point?
Among the many gaffs–that is–in between the numerous displays of mental disorder–there will be no efficacious resolution of the problems we face. Does that help? Don’t be frightened little buddy. I’ll spell it all out for you, as it is clear that you get bogged down in minutiae.
“Semicolons are used to separate closely related independent clauses. “that he’s a lightweight,” is not an independent clause. Practice what you preach, brother.”
If I claim to be without error (like the Strunk and White remark), it is clearly braggadocio–not serious. My point was that Unclemalty was being a tad precious. His sentence was grammatically awkward. That’s hypocrisy with a y.
It is obtuse to think that Shrub’s intellect concerned me. A moron could discern that my mind was made up about this. “presumably primary concern”? Come on. You are either intellectually stunted or a poor debater.
The OP was a polemic, foo.
I’ve been half-heartedly following this thread. So far the OP has been buried under about a hundred 50 cent words, and the main argument seems to be about grammar or something. But regarding Chronolicht’s last post, I’d like to know this: what the Hell are you babbling about?
Iamputrid, how right you are. You clearly avhe no time to correct your own posts much less mine. But you should reconsider. Your bud guzzling father’s brother could use the help. We can get through this if you would just do your damn part, you one way son of a bitch. Distilled within your attitude is the whole problem. No sense of civic duty at all.
My heart bleeds for your friend. She has to support a child and her husband. What a shame that her stunning intellect has gone so unjustly rewarded. Kinda like when you need a husband you take what you can get? If she is so bloody bright surely she can improve her lot. Maybe check the private sector. Or elect someone who would fund the infrastructure. Perhaps then she would be properly renumerated–which all vinegar aside–I am sure she deserves.
Try harder. I liked Chronolickedmydog’sass better.
Someone got a new Thesaurus for his birthday.
But seriously, folks, back to the OP (we do have one, right?)
The bleeding-heart-liberal-jew-media has torn Bush enough new assholes that he could form another branch of the government. We all know what we’re in for. Even Bush supporters don’t want him tutoring their kids. This election was the most personal, ignore-the-issues election that I know of.
“Vote for me, 'cause I’m not the other guy!”
:rolleyes:
Personally, I’m of the opinion that President-Elect Quayle…er, Bush isn’t really going to make much of a difference in the country.

The one thing that really scares me is the Reagan Redux that we’re going to get.
Let’s do the math together, shall we?
more money for schools
+
more money for Social Security
+
more money for Medicare prescriptions
+
more money for the armed forces
+
lower taxes

I was fairly young during the Reagan years. But the whole Reaganomics thing never did sit well with me. Now that it’s going to affect me, it sits even worse.
But in the long run, I think it’ll be business as usual. I’m not happy about it, but I’m not really worried about it.
p.s. Chrono, fucking around with a person’s SN isn’t really the best way to be taken seriously. It’s step down the path to trolldom.
I retract the putrid bit. That was small. I apologize.
But Reagan cut social security, education budget, etc. He gave shitloads of money to the military industrial behemoth though (aka his friends). Remember ketchup as a vegetable. Watch the revisionist history. Jews don’t own a disproportionate share of the media either. You are way out there. Fully tweaked. I think your cancer ridden room mate rubbed off on you.
That was what we on the planet Earth like to call “sarcasm.”

Each of my father’s brothers has been to college and a few could easily correct my best efforts. One is currently a professor of classics in college; another was the president of a college for a time. You really should try harder to flame, chronosquicked.

I don’t have much time, but here’s my go:
"Iamputrid, how right you are! Clearly, you have no time to correct your own posts, much less mine. You should reconsider, though; your bud-guzzling father’s brother could use the help.
We could get through this if you would just do your damned part, you one-way son of a bitch. Distilled within your attitude is the whole problem — no sense of civic duty at all."
Now, onto this whole issue of my sense of civic duty . . . do you mean the parts where I refereed youth soccer for free on weekends, walking to the games instead of driving, or do you mean the part where I taught classes at my church (again, for free) . . . or perhaps my part in raising a guide dog some years ago? I’m not yet able to run for public office, so I don’t think you can much complain there, but I did my part to be an educated voter.
Oh, her getting a long, big scholarship to attend graduate school at UC-Berkeley (with one of the best graduate English program in the country, if not THE best) is evidence enough of the respect she commands.
As for her husband, I’d suggest you not mock those you don’t have any clue about.
Yes, but my dog wouldn’t let you lick his ass. Again, best not to touch those with more IQ points than you.
Just thought I’d point out that using words that have more syllables than an Italian take out menu doesn’t make you intelligent. It just means you know a lot of big words.
I’m still trying to figure out what your point for this thread is. Is it you just don’t like George Dubya? Hey me too. Here’s how I wrap it up.
“I don’t like George Dubya.” - 6 syllables in the whole sentence, and I think it’s pretty clear.
About the semicolon thing. I couldn’t care less; I’m the furthest you’ll find from a grammar-nazi, but if you’re going to fight a grammar battle, at least show up with a loaded gun. If you offer incorrect corrections, it doesn’t do much for your arguement - whatever it is.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t em-dashes supposed to not be set off by spaces? I seem to remember that that’s what the Chicago Mnaual said on the issue, but I could be wrong. I suspect the confusion on this issue is why I raraely think to use the em-dash.
