    Epstien makes a good point, but what makes our Senators so charming and endearing is their apoplectic spasms of indignation. And that Sen. Shumer, what a peach. Hey, don't blame me, I voted for Hillary.

  2. saw-whet   21 years ago

    By the way, anybody see Hillary up close recently? Good fucking God!

  3. saw-whet   21 years ago

    We had a State Senator who, as she got older, had her campaign photo taken from an increasingly greater distance until she was no longer in the picture.

  4. saw-whet   21 years ago

    I've become bored with those Hakluyt vs. David discussions. I'll think I'll have a saw-whet vs. saw-whet debate. *I hope I win.*

  5. Eric the .5b   21 years ago

    saw-whet, you're obviously a complete fool who doesn't understand the brilliant argument saw-whet is making.

  6. thoreau   21 years ago

    saw-whet, you should really read every back issue of the Economist (going back to 1900) before you try to argue against saw-whet's excellent point!

    As to saw-whet: You rock! You totally demolished saw-whet's argument!

  7. saw-whet   21 years ago

    Normally, I would say it's very wrong to post under another person's handle, but wouldn't it be cool if everyone who posted on this thread signed as "saw-whet"?

  8. saw-whet   21 years ago

    This is juvenile. I'm canceling my subscription.

  9. saw-whet   21 years ago

    Solipsist.

    *chuckle*
