Prior to leading the United States Senate through "our long national nightmare," Sam Erin, the nononsense North Carolinian, once explained that a "city lawyer learns more and more about less and less until he knows nothing," while a "country lawyer learns less and less about more and more until he knows nothing." Those prophetic words aptly punctuated the final chapter of Richard Nixon's unmitigated rampage from the California penumbra to the Washington eclipse. After RN's last rank of mulish followers retreated to the Capital in preparation for the trial of the century--and of democracy--the world's most powerful legislators and their people stood, silent--but united--in an unmitigated resolve first spoken nearly one hundred fifty years by the perhaps the greatest American ever.
Perhaps the most tumultuous event in the history of American democracy. But no votes were cast. No debates were conducted. No bills were signed, Rather, a short handwritten noted was handcarried from the White House to Congress. Oh, and Nixon did speak. Dethroned and revealed as American's worst President, we listened as he gave his farewell. He knew nothing. So he said nothing. Some disjointed words were uttered, but none were heard. Instead as he raised his arm one last time for one last "V" wave, followed by that infamous doubled armed , double "V" thrust. We hear somewhere in the background and from the past those haltingly eerie words of contrived reassurance -- of reassurance, "Your President is not a crook."
Two hundred million Americans. One hundred United States Senators. One Failed President. But no votes. Constitutional democracy to perfection. The will of the people. Pure and simple. No votes. No speech. Just a two hundred year old document written by attorneys. One experienced lawyer against a legal document. And Nixon is silent? A no-nothing attorney, obviously. What about saying nothing? If alive today, perhaps Senator Sam might explain as follows?:
What is the difference between a Republican Politician and a Democratic Politician. The Republican talks more and more until he says less and less, until he says nothing. The Democrat talks more and more until he says less and less , until he says noting. Well, huh, what's the difference. Stupid voters, the one who spends the most money wins the election.
Triple V's, hmmmmm, yeah... Victory of the people. Victory by the people. Victory for the people. Those brave men did not die in vain. They died of vanity. Of Nixon's, of Reagan's., of Bush's. Two hundred million Americans. One hundred United States Senators. No votes, and one deelected President.
But what about the last election. By a vote of five to four, the United States Supreme Court ion Gore v. Bush orders the State of Florida to stop the recount. The deciding vote. Clarence Thomas. Yes, that same jurist who created the famous line, "Is that a public hair on your coke can?" The same jurist who was introduced by current Attorney General John Ashcroft as the "most qualified jurist in the country." Yeah. Right. Professor Harris was right. One mediocre lawyer decides that the world's most powerful leader should be declared by yelling "when" when your team's ahead. That man's on both crack and coke. And I bet he told Anita Hill he was like a rock. Come now, you don't really think I was making a sexual innuendo. I meant like the rock of Gibraltar. Hmmmmm, you know, like, He who controls the Rock of Clarence controls the world. No more election, no more books, no more democracy dirty looks.
The Supreme Court lead by Clarence Thomas, the Supreme Cock. Now thats the real high tech lynching ole Car. was probably talking about during the confirmation hearing. One uppity African American jurist neutralizes eight Ivy Leaguers. And at his discretion, he can sexually harass all the women he wants. Intercourse? If Clarence wants it, he gets it. Hey, and ladies, don't even worry about getting pregnant. Just sit back and enjoy it. No more abortions. In In Twenty Eight Middle Aged Women and a Ho v. Clarence Thomas (1-0 decision, anemones) the United States Supreme Court will declares that the equal protection. clause prohibits abortions unless the putative father performs it. (See King James Bible (2000 B.C.--that stands for "before Clarence"--("The man is the King of the House)(as an aside, the United States Supreme Court shall be hereafter called the Court of Last Clarence, and shall commence with "Hearye, Hearye, all those with business before this Honorable Court enter and draw thigh).
And if you visit him, don't you dear ask for a Pepsi. He's hired Billy Murray of Saturday Night Greek Restaurant fame to take your orders. No Pepsi, Cock (that's coke with a Greek accent). And don't respond further. "no, no cock." (Remember, there's Dan Ackyroyd, too). And then. don't

So... are you our latest Stealth Disruptor?
Be sure to read my tagline-
Been here a year and you don't know? You are a stealth disruptor...
PIASA'S FREEREPUBLIC TIMELINE OF THE GORE WAR / ELECTION 2000 FLORIDUH FIASCO
Yes- what I have noted in the past, whenever there is a rash of hot topics, one or more disruptors pop up who have created an account- sometimes years ago- but lain fallow for a long time. Typically, they have no details on their profile page.
Another tactic- frequently seen on the "Israel is the source of all Evil" posts is the tag-team technique-- two apparently spontaneous newbies pop up and reinforce each other, and attack dissident opinions.
