That is a severely awesome picture.
Sounds awesome, Velma. Wish I could be there.
This is better than the best news. It's outstanding news.
Upstanding, even. Woo hoo, Scraps!
elise, I refresh this thread about every fifteen minutes every day at work, check it again as soon as I get home, and then as often as possible while home. If the updates stopped I don't know what I'd do. Thank you.
If the Catholic vote belonged to republicans, you'd think they'd do better in RI and Mass. Like Al Smith did in 1928, I guess.
I'm thrilled to hear that he's making complicated jokes--I don't know much about neurological crap, but that seems significant.
I really hope that once he's more recovered, Scraps can remember enough and figure out how to express what it is that he's getting at now with time.
Hooray, congratulations! (Are congratulations appropriate here? I think they are, but I'm not sure.)
Mary Frances #209: Anyone else, from elsewhere?
I'm sure there are more, somewhere, but I've seen exactly two McCain signs in Rhode Island, and haven't once heard anyone say anything nice about him during this election cycle.
And I hate to feed the troll, but Face of the Unwanted (nice name, by the way--simultaneously pathetic and martyr-complexy, and over being disliked on one blog!), I cannot abide being told that I blindly support the Democrats. In general, I find the Democrats vile. They're just significantly less vile than the Republicans. As I've discussed here, I'm not voting for Obama (but would were I in a swing state because, terrifying as an Obama presidency would be, a McCain--or Palin--presidency would be exponentially more terrifying), and whenever there's a third-party challenger for local office I research them excitedly, and if they're not entirely despicable, I will vote for them enthusiastically.
Also, in 2000 I voted for a Republican for US Senate (not to mention that I voted for Nader for president, which is certainly not part of any monoculture there might be here).
Marilee, thanks for mentioning that--I've been wondering what Scraps's recollections of this time will be like once he recovers. Interesting to hear a little about yours.
Peter Erwin #172: One big difference between corruption in the US and corruption in Italy is that the US is a major imperial world power, and Italy is not. The internal levels of corruption may be different, but ours (I'm American) are amplified all out of proportion by the tremendous amount of influence we have.
Serge #178: I was just thinking about how little time passed between CRV's reappearance and his being thrown out on his ass.
Yeah--I refreshed and his "I've been caught!" message came up as the most recent post; I refreshed again a minute later and it had been disemvowelled. Impressive.
That question referring to #95, not #96. Sorry, miriam.
I'm not Graydon, so I don't know if there's an answer to that question coming, but I would like to point out that having a solution is not a prerequisite for pointing out a problem.
This country leans more center-right than I personally would like, so I do not accept an Obama win as "inevitable"
But Obama's the center-right candidate.
Thank god it was one, though.
Are you fracking serious? Why would they do that?
Must be a mix-up.
My god, hooray for "out of danger".
Bill, just to double-check--I e-mailed you at the address linked in your name, not your gmail. Should I re-send, or did you get that OK?
Velma, that's awesome! Scraps kicks Stroke's ass, any day.
