There you go. It must have been a Freudian slip indicating that I'm already
starting to turn back into a Leftist.
It was Alexander, not McCain, who was younger than Palin - when he set off
to conquer the world. I think McCain is too old to conquer the world. And
Palin wouldn't want to. That other guy now . . . think about it. What's to
prevent his running for emperor of the EU at the same time he's president of
the U.S.? Nothing. And he'd get elected - by the EU - I'm not so sure
about here.
Or, Plan B: if he isn't elected here. He could become elected as emperor of
the EU and fulfill De Gaul's & Chirac's dream of making the EU a
counterbalance to the U.S. The Europeans would go for it. He could then
threaten us with sanctions if we didn't become more Leftist over here. . .
although I don't know what he could withhold from us that we want. There
must be something we want or need from Europe. I just can't think of
anything at the moment. . . wait! My espresso . . . no, I just checked.
That comes from Trader Joes.

I cannot tell you how gladdened I am to read this from you. Although I note
you must have made a typo re. McCain's age relative to Palin's....

actually, I couldn't...)
<<This business of pressuring the Iraqis is of special concern to me. It
doesn't make me happy because if true it will favor McCain. It alarms me
because if true and he is elected we have the very situation that was my
impression, my opinion, that he isn't listening to advice and that he
doesn't know how inexperienced he is - or perhaps he does know and doesn't
care (just "my fear" and not even an opinion). How much experience did
Alexander have when he set off conquering and to conquer? He was even
younger than Sarah Palin - not that she has the sort of ego Alexander did.>>

Mike,
Sometimes the dna doesn't take. You'd think it would, but look at you, born
a Catholic and now you're a murtadd - unless that dna is still down there
somewhere causing you anguish and feelings of guilt that you are drowning
with your favorite beverage.
A person might be born a Muslim for example but then whisked away through no
fault of his own and now be running for president - another murtadd.
But I'm one myself. I was once a Leftist. I don't know if I was born one,
my father never told me; although he worked on the docks driving a lumber
carrier for most of his working life. At one time he worked for the Union,
so he was probably a Leftist.
So if that dna is lurking there someplace, perhaps one day you'll snap back
to Catholicism and I'll snap back to Leftism. What a thought. I'd have to
give up thinking logically and reading the best authorities. What would I
do with my library?
Maybe you could help me get hooked into the Leftist osmotic hot-line. I
never did figure out how that worked. Back when I was a Leftist we used
to hand around the best Leftist books; which we had to read to be Leftists
in good standing. You guys never study. You never read anything, but you
always knew the correct Leftist answer. Pretty amazing if you ask me.
Maybe it wouldn't be so bad - warm and fuzzy - lint -- long hair - beard --
Cum Baya . . .
