I occasionally like to peruse the writings of the enemy on some sites that are taken seriously by some but are really comedy sites. They often evoke great bursts of laughter as one contemplates just how foolish some people can be. I checked out about 5 sites today, each for just a few minutes, and here is a really good example. I suspect that Sinkmaster must have appeared on TV somewhere.
==========================================
"I know there were a couple of running threads last night during the show. I purposely turned the puter off so I could devote my full attention to the show. Didn't turn it on afterwards as I thought I would 'sleep on it' and give my thoughts this morning.
It was the first time I had seen an intimate talk with this great man since the selection of 2000. It gave me chills. What a kind, thoughtful, intelligent human being. How regal he looked sitting there in a library setting. Once again, he was speaking right to me and me alone. The twinkle in his eye as he recalled his years in the White House. This is a man who should be so bitter. He is not. Investigation after illegal investigation and he still had so many fond memories. I was speechless. My wife, who is completely a-political, said during the commercial break that she so wished we had a President who could exude such intelligence again. Not a singe gaff, no fumbling around the english language trying to impress us with multi-syllable rhetoric. This man truly knows how the world works and truly cares. We are all his children and he sat there talking WITH me like he was my grandfather.
I truly miss this man.
===========================================
SOME ADDITONAL COMMENTS:
"He's a real class act." (that is an exceptional comment)
"Hard to express my thoughts
As I watched and listened to President Clinton, I felt a sense of calm come over me. I felt a sense of pride and my eyes filled with tears both of sadness and happiness. He is such a warm and caring person. I truly miss this man also."
"He is gracious, and he knows his place in history. He has as much respect for the American people and the people of the world as we/they have for him. He cares and always will."
"OMG, I thought I was the only one hanging on his every word during the show. It was like he was talking to each of us individually as he would a close friend. I don't care how many shirts he chased or how many times he supposedly lied about his sex life - I'd do the very same thing under oath or not if they start asking me about my private affairs..."
========================
Folks, this is why I want the truth known by everyone and rammed down their throats. We live in a parallel universe. The man they love is a brutal biting rapist and they claim he just made a little sex lie. He did unbelievable damage to the security of this nation. Everyone of these idiots cancels out one of our votes.
I have a bridge to sell this person.
hear hear!!!
Every Friday night my family and I have pizza to save cooking and just relax after a long week. One of the ways I like to relax is to FReep for awhile.
So a little while ago I had my pizza in hand, sat down in front of the computer (at a little after 6 pm West Coast time), and I saw your ALL CAPS HEADLINE. Pizza in one hand, graphic descriptions about vomit on the screen in front of me. I don't care what happens within a thread, but I think that the lastest posts page could at least be free from this kind of nonsense, at least during dinner hour.
Ya think that you could have a little more consideration for those of use having dinner next time?

"As I watched and listened to the 'toon, I felt a rage come over me. I felt disgusted, and my eyes burned with tears of deep sorrow for what he has done to our country."
http://www.lingsoft.fi/~reriksso/competence.html INCOMPETENCE IS BLISS BY ERICA GOODE New York Times
One reason that the ignorant also tend to be the blissfully self-assured, the researchers believe, is that the skills required for competence often are the same skills necessary to recognize competence....
``Not only do they reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but their incompetence robs them of the ability to realize it,'' wrote Kruger, now an assistant professor at the University of Illinois, and Dunning.
This deficiency in ``self-monitoring skills,'' the researchers said, helps explain the tendency of the humor-impaired to persist in telling jokes that are not funny, of day traders to repeatedly jump into the market -- and repeatedly lose out -- and of the politically clueless to continue holding forth at dinner parties on the fine points of campaign strategy. ...
In a series of studies, Kruger and Dunning tested their theory of incompetence. They found that subjects who scored in the lowest quartile on tests of logic, English grammar and humor were also the most likely to ``grossly overestimate'' how well they had performed.

What was that stuff about "bimbo eruptions"? Some things are just inexplicable.
Humans are fascinating.
You are absolutely right. I have plenty of them. My dad voted Clinton-Clinton-Gore the last 12 years I was in the military. So did his brother, a combat veteran of USS Enterprise 1942-1944. Why? They figure voting Democrat means more free money for their old age. My older brother votes straight Dem every time since he's in a state union (and thinks they are more likely to legalize pot). I have an aunt who thinks Hillary! is sent from God, if you try to tell her anything, her eyes get that glassy, glazed-over look, it's just the VWRC, you know. And, plenty more among my relatives, most of whom are Irish Catholic. They see the Dems as more compassionate and generous, and that's that. Doesn't do any good to talk to them (like, that "compassion" is with Other Peoples' Money, taken at gunpoint). And I haven't talked to them much in the past decade, come to think of it. They pi$$ me off too much.
