loved it!

Damned fine writing, Luis. The Barry is strong in you. :)

[CWOJackson]

Great article. I even see some of your admirers were so over come they left the stadium.

[tpaine]

Next they may leave the 'forum'..

Wha happened?

[tpaine]

Things however, seem to have a funny way of working themselves out, and in the same way that the goat with the cork failed to achieve significant results after playing possum, the commentator being played as a scapegoat for not having corked it, will probably find significance in his seclusion, and come back swinging.
The other team of course, will never allow him to forget his rule breakage, and try to taint his game by constantly reminding everyone of his past transgressions. In an attempt to discredit every point made by the political commentator, and maybe even to make him out to be a hypocrite, and a master of the art of double speak.

Ahh, now I'm beginning to 'get it', Luis..
Reading tween the lines, it appears your remarks about "The other team" engendered some counterpoints that required "corking'..

Do I have the right idea?

[NMC EXP]

So LG, where do you stand on the "war on drugs"?

Wow, somehow I had missed your other FR pieces . . . about halfway through this one I found myself scrolling back up to see who wrote this thing . . . NICE WORK . . . made my evening!

[Luis Gonzalez]

Wow!

That's a great compliment, I am humbled.

I an sorry to be so late responding, but as you see, we had a clean-up on aisle 5 that needed attending to.

Thanks again.

Luis

[Luis Gonzalez]

Thanks Brian!

Obviously, this was my lame attempt at doing Dave Barry.

It's what happens when one tries to do political commentary while watching the playoffs, and enjoying a few Presidentes.

"Luis, I really hate the Yankees, but I really don't know if I can cheer for a team named after a fish."

OK, I think I know what you can do.

Just imagine that you're cheering for this guy.

[Luis Gonzalez]

See!

No tears!

[Luis Gonzalez]

[Catspaw]

LOL!

Just for you, Luis, I'm cheering for the fish :-))

[Luis Gonzalez]

"So LG, where do you stand on the "war on drugs"?"

I have a somewhat hypocritical stand on it.

I believe that there's absolutely no reason to keep pot illegal, we should legaslize it, tax it, and control it. However, I don't in any way advocate a drug free-for-all beyond that.

[Luis Gonzalez]

By the way.

Your tagline has a tremendous fallacy.

There is c) both.

[Luis Gonzalez]

Well, thank you very much, I am glad you enjoyed this.

[Luis Gonzalez]
