And yet, the words are still there on the screen.
If I had solid proof, how capable would they be?
Nonetheless, I apologize for interrupting your diatribe against “left-wing entitlement” with my bitchy snark. Feel free to evacuate the remainder of your bowels unmolested.
I guess that would mean ‘no.’
“They did it,” says you, “and the proof is that we have no evidence, because they’re so devious, n’ stuff.”
Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.
You know Bricker, we all know you’re a lawyer and to be one you have to have a lot of schooling to get there. I’m thinking perhaps you should kind of scoot-ch your ass around in the saddle up there on your high horse and see If you can get a better perspective of where a lot of the rest of are down here. As I tried to point out in another thread the use of humor around here seems to agitate some, and rightly so as smart comments aren’t productive nor well received by everyone here. But as sure as your diploma hangs on the wall, life is hard for every person here (mostly) and on this planet as well, and while others and myself might crack wise occasionally you looking down your nose at people isn’t very nice either. Because once you leave your perch, and step onto the ground with the rest of us you might find someone looking down their nose at you. So I’ll try to do better with my smart comments and maybe you could put just the tiniest bit of effort into toning down your exhilarating repartee’ a shade and we’ll see if we can’t find some common ground in the middle. And a good day to you sir.
Ees beeg trouble for Moose and Squirrel!
Now that’s what I’m talking about! Glad to see not everyone has lost their sense of humor.
I had never heard of Boris Johnson until today, but this YouTube video shows him to be an utter idiot.
London’s own GWB indeed.
Hmmph, he has only been voted in for the entertainment of the people.
He is a complete dolt, but since Prince Philip hasn’t been making many public gaffes, we need another inbred idiot to deride, and Bojo fits the bill fantastically.
I doubt that there has been anyone at all in public office in the UK that has had such a long, 30 years or more, and vitrioloc press campaign against him and yet he outlasted Thatcher and her corrupt regime.
Ken Livingstone has always benefitted from low turnouts where he could always get his committed electorate to turn out - but this was always a pretty shrill minority.
As soon as Londoners actually got of their butts and voted he was always likely to struggle.
I also think Bojo is still a reflection of a lazy London electorate, instead of actually finding out about the issues, Londoners seem to have gone for nothing more than image.
Having met BJ on 2 occasions, I gotta say I like him, partly for his raw intellect. King’s Scholar, President of the Union, First in Classics, MP, Editor of the Spectator … there’s almost certainly noone on this board who comes close to him in intelligence, achievement, and wit.

To quote Garius on the NADS board :-
Throw in adultery and absolutely no qualms or regret about conspiring to have a fellow journalist beaten up for knowing too much about the fraudulent actions of one of his old school chums, and you’ve got a very dodgy character.
*Oh, he was also a member of the Bullingdon club at Oxford which (certainly at the time he was a member) was mainly an excuse for rich blokes to go out and trash restaurants then throw money at the owners to ensure they didn’t get in trouble for it. What fun!
*
The conspiracy referred to was when someone asked Boris for the address of a friend, so that the person asking could arrange for his friend to be assaulted. A transcript was released of the phone call, which is how it came into the public realm. Boris was reprimanded for not informing the police, not for conspiracy as he did not pass any information across.
Adultery, yup he commited adultery. Not actually on Ken’s level who managed to get three different women pregnant in a short space of time, but naughty all the same.
Bullingdon club: They did not pay to prevent themselves getting out of trouble. They paid up to cover the full expense of restoring the place to its original condition.
So it’s acceptable behavior to smash up a restaurant as long as you pay to have it repaired afterwards ?
Is there any evidence that Boris actually took part in any restaurant trashing, though?

All those appear to be superb experience, background and qualification for an internationally ranked city which will soon have the eyes of the world on it when it hosts the Olympics.
Just what we need, another hoorah Henry who has read a lot of old books.
Wit? intelligence? when he actually achieves something, perhaps that will be the time to acknowledge it, however, given the intellectual power that resides upon these boards, I’d say he is outranked by…oooooh how many members do we have?
This is either trollish, or sarcasm - not sure which.
Casdave, he’s just been elected Mayor of London. However you look at it, he has achieved something.
Um…
Whaaa…??
People who advance idiotic arguments will get sneered at. This is not the forum for gentle remonstrations and loving concern over the feelings of idiots, especially self-identifying idiots who launch unfounded attacks.
Your feedback would have not been misplaced if this were MPSIMS. But this is the Pit, and my commentary was comparatively mild.
I don’t think you realise just how hard it is to become a King’s Scholar. Oh, and Classics involves new books too. Ohh, and to get a First whilst being President of the Union is a stellar achievement.
I’d bet there’s a couple of people on this board who could get into a university like Oxford, let alone completely dominate it like Boris did.
And then to become an MP (of which there are only 650 or so) whilst editing a major national news magazine, and then to become mayor of what is the closest thing the world has to a capital city…
yes he certainly is outranked by a bunch of people (including me) whose intellects are so vast, that they would be wasted on anything but the internet.

The internet makes me laugh.
You all realise that the left/right wing divide is nowhere near as intense this side of the Atlantic - so all you Brits acting like pricks, stop playing up to the yanks because you feel left out of the party.
And as for the Republicans standing up for their right wing brethren across the sea - You realise the Tories are probably more left wing then the Democrats :S
I personally blame the BBC’s have your say.
Although I admit to the opinion that a foul odor still lingers around many of the events of the 2000 and 2004 Presidential elections, my “idiotic argument” was meant mainly in jest—something apparent, I suspect, to Omegaman.
Perhaps showing once again why “conservative humor” is as successful an entertainment genre as “liberal talk radio.”
Well I knew we would find common ground that we might share on this glorious world of ours. I don’t mind being the idiot as long you don’t mind being the prince. Fair hunting to you,Sir, might your prey be felled with a single shot.
