It's called HWL - humor without a license. Better is to leave jokes only to professionals.

I agree, some of tw's posts are almost unreadable.

I thiiiink that miiiiiiight have made some sense... maybe...?

tw, as I have said before, extreme left is no better than extreme right. There are multiple ways to look at issues, and Rush Limbaugh isn't the only person who often ignores facts presented right to his face. Many times, TW came right out and said, plainly and honestly (well, seemed honest to me), that you were wrong about his thoughts and ideologies many times, but you kept right on saying the same things about him being Rush and Bush's puppet.

Anyway, about the actual topic of this thread? Deep Throat is almost a god, for the exact reasons bruce described. I may not have grown up in that time period, but I've read my history books, and I know that what Nixon did is worse than what Bush has done in many ways. At least Bush honestly believes he's doing what's right...

And about the 18 1/2 minute gap... Has anyone ever heard Alice's Restaurant? Arlo has theorized that, well, there arent a whole lot of things exactly that length, and....

If that were true he would not lie about it.

I think he's dumb enough to think people don't see what he is doing... but that is about it.

I think he's reached the point where he's just saying to himself "f*ck it, nothing's going to make it better, so I'll just stick to the old game plan"

I honestly don't think he makes decisions & I normally scoff at conspiracy theorists.

Oh he makes decisions all right, but the decisions are between 2 or three options that are carefully groomed and presented so he'll choose the ones his keepers want.
I seriously doubt, he knows the background or fully understands the consequences, of any decisions.

Oh, yeah. Nixon opened relations with China, made Detente with the USSR. Bush took vacation for 9 months, and since 911 has been killing and destroying, eroding the rights of Americans, and making his cronies richer. Too bad neither of them got caught having their cock sucked in the oval office.
