Daschle is really taking unemployment hard.

LMAO

Hopefully he will be forced to spend quite a bit of time in a very cold and damp Swedish jail.

“people of limited stature”

Not to be confused with people of unlimited stature.

Or people of an angular stature, who tend to walk in circles.  :-)

I have a old pair of socks that would put a end to this!

I believe that I know of a single stoatsock that would do the job.....I think that it's quivering in a corner somewhere.......

[Stoat]

Uffda! Swedish dwarves gone wild! Where is Ingmar Bergman when we need him?

He's off playing chess with Death, unaware that we are in desperate need of even more profoundly and crushingly depressing black and white movies, cast with actors who rarely smile because the film set caterer brings only lutefisk.

[Stoat]

You forgot the biggest little thieves of all...

Small in stature but monstrous in ego and guile.

[Palladin]

Well, his films were very educational to me. I learned how to say “Idiot” in Swedish.

It’s “Idi-oot!”

[Lady Jag]

Humongous in ego and guile.

I’m not sure I was clear, I wasn’t referring to the thieves as cockroaches..it really was the way I read it. Totally coincidence, and I meant no offense to dwarves/little people. In hindsight, I could see that what I wrote could be taken as sarcasm. My apologies...

No need to apologize, you were entirely clear and there wasn't anything wrong with what you said.  Similarly, I was referring to your humorous misreading as being unintentionally spot-on, and not in any way a reference to their size but to their morals or ( lack thereof).

I would have been delighted to refer to the dwarves' handlers / accomplices as 'cockroaches' as well, regardless of their size.
