BS: A New Year's Resolution

28 Dec 03 - 01:13 PM (#1080982)
Subject: BS: A New Year's Resolution
From: Thomas the Rhymer

What is your New year's Resolution?


My New Year's resolution?... To use every legal and ethical means at my disposal to defeat George W. Bush in the up and coming election.

I am absolutely convinced that America is on the wrong track. No, this is not sedition, I'm not anti-American... I do not espouse Communism, and I abhore revolution's bloody ways. I do not secretly or openly support any terrorist activity... this is not blind and irrational reactiveness that I'm feeling. To me, the facts are clear enough, and it is in defense of our United States Constitution that I speak... with frankness and clarity.

I believe in this great nation, and I believe in the groundswell of devout Democratic Ideals that has always inspired the American Dream... and I am sad to admit that our current administration appears to have negligable respect for the very pillars of these halls of human freedom.


Good Luck! ...and Happy New Year!

And may the best man win!

Rendering your sophmoric existence on the planet irrelevant. Your choice of course.

All existence is irrelevant and we have no choice in the matter. The earth is simply a giant shithouse and we're the flies it attracts. Don't give me any crappola about what you are doing or have done with your life. It doesn't matter at all in the scheme of things in the universe.

Thanks guest 01:37pm... and good luck to you, 'cause you're gonna need it... can't rewrite history, bub... ;^) My spelling isn't great, and your sophomoric spelling is y'er elephant in my book... but your intentions speak for themselves, and embody the true spirit of terrorism... yuk...

"Personally, I'm just hoping for a few good farts......"

I find your insulting, debasing commentary upon Thomas the Rhymer and Ebbie's resolutions disgusting, but predictably par for the course coming from one of the Mudcat elite.

Imagine how little surprised I am at your arrogant pride about being a real jerk.

Your disingenuous attempts to correlate anon guest posting to terrorism is pretty damn disgusting too, Thomas the Rhymer.

With Democratic supporters making those sorts of over the top comparisons about posters to this forum they dislike, I'm sure the Bush/Cheney campaign is shaking in their boots.

I resolved about 20 years ago never to make New Years' Resolutions. It's the only one I've ever kept.

I make resolutions all year long. Sometimes I keeps em, sometimes I don't, and then I have to start over. It's okay.

Nice one 'spaw... silent but deadly... yeh... Liz... I'm running about 50-50 to date on mine... I'm gonna keep this one though. Some resolutions are wild wishes blooming on the withered greens of whimsy... not fertile soil for fact loving futures... ttr

Spaw, in keeping with your views, consider that we human beings may be dwelling in a giant (to us) antfarm! As one goldfish said to the other: Of course there's a god! Who do you think changes our water?

On that depressing note I will subside.

I do so want to please our Guest and let them know I find TtR's and Ebbie's resolve in itself to be inspiring. Since I can't control the gas and I freely admit to being one of the Mudcat Elite, an arrogant, conceited, prima donna of the first order, I wanted to offer something to show my sincerity in my desire to change.

Therefore I decided to look into Cuss Control. I saw this on the local news and after giving it due consideration, I have been forced to decide it is not for me as I know myself well and after getting only halfway through the program, I will inevitably say "Fockit."

Thanks 'spaw... I am feeling so blessed by your kindness... imagine... one of the 'elite'... decending to actually acknowledging this thread's existance...

Yeh, right... it has been asserted by some that I am ten times the 'prima donna' you are... so... if you'd like some lessons, send me a PM.

Funny that... I DO have a cursing problem...

prostetnic????


Kendall helped me put together my new desk - an ell shaped affair with multiple shelves.I had visions of him going into an apoplectic fit and me getting blamed for it. My cats heard some new words that day.
So my resolution is not to buy any more furniture kits. If it doesn't arrive assembled or with an assembler, I don't need it. (Captain M also put together legal bookcases and an assortment of other odd items but the desk took the cake. It almost went flying out the window with me not far behind)

I am definately not one of the Mudcat's inner elite circle, nor do I aspire to be.

I am curious though. How many of you who consider yourselves to be, real fat and obese?

Miso... yeh... they do fight dirty don't they...

They will probably start shouting 'unfair' from the rooftops when we start digging into the facts... which they have classified as 'top secret'... Those boys are sitting on the powder keg that will blow them out of office... metaphoricly speaking... and I'm sure we can uncover enough to find the fuse...

If we don't fight fair... they will beat us... it's their game.

As one of the Mudcat Elite, and much more importantly, as one of the founding partners in Lane, Fielding, Patterson, and Swan, Layabouts at Large, and for hire, I tire of Janet Ryan posting as though she is numerous people and then chastising us elite's for our manipulative ways. We ain't manipulative......and we ain't arrogant....we'ns are jess poor folk who wish we was as good as JR.

I have told you before, Ryan, and I will tell you again. Your pontification without action smells worse than Spaw's farts. I will take his over yours anyday.

Thomas, I apologize for that short hijack. I applaud your resolution and resolve to do the same. Working folks in this country can't take much more of this "prosperity and recovery".

Thanks for starting this.

Can I be Poland again?

Nobody in my family ever made New Year's resolutions, When I heard someone else use the term, my parents explained. It sounded to me like folks had a special day to decide to do things they could have done anytime. I guess I'll do more music, write more songs, try to be a better person, and try to stay out of ruts.

ttr-Now there are two Micks on your team with one ambition. That is to send (P)resident George Bush back to Texas. I'm trying to spread the word about the erosion of our rights, the plan to eventually eliminate the middle class, the chaotic healthcare system, and all the other unfair & illegal actions taken by Bush to beat us down & demoralize us. Maybe we can't do it-but we've got to try.

Problem is that people don't want to hear or think for themselves.

A Question: How is the identity of the guest known?
