Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....

In all, 104 men had their penis measured and had their shoe size recorded. Well, I WAS going to make some remark about "sample size", but this is just TOO STUPID.

Rush says today:
The TORCH is resigning!!
To: TheGrimReaper
The TORCH is resigning!! The race, the Senate seat, both?..... I'm not popping the champagne quite yet.
To: *Students
Ok gang, I have to go back to work.
Y'all quit doubling up on your meds!
To: dubyaismypresident
The DNC is urging the Torch to drop out of the current campaign.... since that would take him out of the Senate, I suppose the answer is BOTH!
To: TheGrimReaper
Well, we might have a "Democrat Dirty Trick(TM)" going on here. It will take a few days to see how this will shake out.
To: dubyaismypresident
I don't think he will resign. Withdrawl is possible, but ineffective, because they cannot get a new candidate on the Ballot.

Legally, I think there is an issue either/any way with getting a new name on the ballot after Sept. 16th. Of course watch the D's bypass this rule. Another Democrat Dirty Trick(TM) is in the works.
To: dubyaismypresident; Slip18
Dave who? Oh. Bonior. He's gone anyway and is going to be replaced by Candice Miller(Sec of State and GOP).
Good Riddance.
