Angelwood, these two look like trouble...MUD
Sounds like a plan...MUD
FReegards...MUD
Good idea...MUD
EXACTLY!!! In believe some "Sun Tzu" is in order here...
"Chapter Six: Weakness and Strength"
"Sun-tzu said:
"Generally the one who first occupies the battlefield awaiting the enemy is at ease; the one who comes later and rushes into battle is fatigued.
Therefore those skilled in warfare move the enemy, and are not moved by the enemy.
Getting the enemy to approach on his own accord is a matter of showing him advantage; stopping him from approaching is a matter of showing him harm.
Therefore, if the [Lib'rals are] at ease, be able to exhaust them;
If the Lib'rals are well fed, be able to starve them;
If the Lib'rals are settled, be able to move them;
Appear at places where he must rush to defend, and rush to places where he least expects.
To march over a thousand li without becoming distressed, march over where the enemy is not present.
To be certain to take what you attack, attack where the enemy cannot defend. [Clinton is Indefensible...ATTACK!!]
To be certain of safety when defending, defend where the enemy cannot attack.
Therefore, against those skilled in attack, the enemy does not know where to defend;
Against those skilled in defense, the enemy does not know where to attack.
Subtle! Subtle!
They become formless.
Mysterious! Mysterious!
They become soundless.
Therefore, FReepers are the Masters of the DemonRATS Fate!!
To achieve an advance that cannot be hampered, rush to his weak points.
To achieve a withdrawal that cannot be pursued, depart with superior speed.
Therefore, if we want to do battle, even if the enemy is protected by high walls and deep moats, he cannot but do battle, because we attack what he must rescue.
If we do not want to do battle, even if we merely draw a line on the ground, he will not do battle, because we divert his movements.
Therefore, if we can make the enemy show his position while we are formless, we will be at full force while the enemy is divided.
If our army is at full force and the enemy is divided, then we will attack him at ten times his strength.
Therefore, we are many and the Lib'rals few.
If we attack our many against his few, the enemy will be in Dire Straits.
The place of battle must not be made known to the enemy.
If it is not known, then the enemy must prepare to defend many places.
If he prepares to defend many places, then the forces will be few in number.
Therefore, if he prepares to defend the front, the back will be weak.
If he prepares to defend the back, the front will be weak.
If RATS prepare to defend the Left, the Right Shall Destroy Them!!
If GOP's prepared to defend the Right, the Left will be weak.
If RATS prepare to defend everywhere, everywhere will be weak.
The few are those preparing to defend against others, the many are those who make others prepare to defend against them.
Therefore, if one knows the place of battle and the day of battle[9 December 2002], he can march a thousand li and do battle.
If one does not know the place of battle and the day of battle, then his left cannot aid his right, and his right cannot aid his left; his front cannot aid his back, and his back cannot aid his front.
How much less so if he is separated by tens of li, or even a few li.
Based on my calculations, though Yueh's troops were many, what advantage was this to them in respect to victory?
Therefore I say, victory can be achieved!!
Though the enemy is many, he can be prevented from doing battle.
Therefore, know the Lib'ral's plans and calculate their strengths and weaknesses.
Provoke RATS, to know their patterns of movement.
Determine his position, to know the ground of death and of life.
Probe him, to know where he is strong and where he is weak.
The ultimate skill is to take up a position where you are formless.
If you are formless, the most penetrating spies will not be able to discern you, or the wisest counsels will not be able to do calculations against you.
With formation, the army achieves victories yet they do not understand how.
Everyone knows the formation by which you achieved victory, yet no one knows the formations by which you were able to create victory.
Therefore, your strategy for victories in battle is not repetitious, and Yer Formations in Response to the Lib'rals are Endless!!
The army's formation is like water.
The water's formation avoids the high and rushes to the low.
So an army's formation avoids the strong and rushes to the weak.
Water's formation adapts to the ground when flowing.
So then Limbaugh's Army's formation adapts to the Lib'rals to Achieve Victory!!
Therefore, an army does not have constant force, or have constant formation.
Those who are able to adapt and change in accord with the enemy and achieve victory are called divine.
Therefore, of the five elements, none a constant victor, of the four seasons, none has constant position; the sun has short and long spans, and the moon waxes and wanes."
FReepin' "The Art of War" is a HOOt...MUD
Believe you me, that's a lesson I learned long ago...MUD
Hey, so was I! :)
Hmmmm...funny, when I sought your advise on my purchasing or building a house you never mentioned anything about tax credit$. The gist of your counsel seemed to be just sign on the dotted line, jla...Ol' Mud will take care of ya!.
Now that I think about it, appropriating other folks' tax credits and using the cash to make outlandish bets with only a slim chance of winning would explain a lot.
I just wonder where the rest of the loot goes? He couldn't possibly be spendin' it all on 40-ounce Icehouse's.
Something tells me that M may be a kept woman.
