I must admit, I am much more alert than usual...woke up at 3:30 (mountain time)...maybe it helped the writing!

[Conspiracy Guy]

I am so.

The prosaic period in American politics is (slowly) ending as the web reduced the power of democratic dinosaurs (er, politicians) in Washington.

Unfortunately, that leaves some professional repubican dinosoars around: such as Chaffee, McCain, and a few others.

[Conspiracy Guy]

My Aunty Saic was a wonderful woman. I miss her.

[xsmommy]

Who's Perky and why are you feeling her?

(Well, I guess we know why you are feeling Perky, we're just wondering how she is feeling.)

Morning! What a lovely word-

Today's predictable, prosaic whine
From the moonbats on the left
Is the same recycled nonsense-
Conspiracy theories and election "theft"

And women are "on the brink", says NOW
Of loosing their "right to choose"
And Ohio's votes weren't counted right-
They just keep repeating the same old news

They need to step away from the bong
And lay off the koolaid sooner or later-
Because Bush really won, "choice" is murder
And John sKerry is still a traitor

[xsmommy]

A++++ great!

[Robert A Cook PE]

A compliment, and an ignoreain't?

[LonePalm]

My prescription plan only pays for the generic version of prosaic.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)
