The guy behind the ambush should have asked the cops how it felt to be protecting a guy who bombed a police station
@SteveG:
You’ve just got to assume an “OJ” stance on worms who hide behind procedure.
They can game it here, but not when they face The Judge.
Jeff,
Just keep up the martial arts training, and the excellent cognitive and writing skills…we’ll need all those skills in a worst case scenario…
Which I hope we don’t….
Despair….indeed!
The backlash that will rear its head in 2010 is already beginning. Once O! has ascended to POTUS,and implements Card Check (depriving workers of the right to a secret ballot when voting on unionization), the Fairness Doctrine (a legislative attempt to muzzle the last remaining conservative media platform, AM radio, but one that won’t, by any stretch, be applied to liberal outlets like NPR, MSNBC, NYT, Newsweek, et al), along with the “class warfare/soak the rich” confiscatory tax increases that will come hand-in-hand with dramatically increasing the number of citizens who pay no taxes at all (in the name of “fairness”, of course)could well combine to bring a new conservative wave into Congress in 2011.
Unless the Obama/Reid/Pelosi administration can somehow solve the world financial crisis, rally the stock market, eliminate cancer, disease and the heartbreak of psoriasis within the the next two years…because we Americans have high expectation of our Messiah’s.
Although, we should never underestimate the power of their allies in the media continue to pimp for the new administration like they have for the duration of the campaign and thereby convince a gulllible public that everything is still Bush’s fault, two years after he’s left office.
Given the polls, the early voting data and the dreary, under-funded campaign that McCain is running, that’s about the best hope we non-collectivists have now….sadly.
It’s just amazing to me how many supposedly intelligent people are buying this mook’s line of bullshit. Jeeze louise, people, haven’t you ever had a guy try and sell you a Rolex on the street? I mean, c’mon…
I’m rather impressed it was law enforcement who showed up, rather than Nation of Islam enforcers; since they’re the ones who actually maintain security in Hyde Park.
The horror of Card Check will be realized when the union membership learns that similar methods will be employed in selecting their delegates and representatives.
Once Vinnie and Guido from a New Jersey local start showing up at the homes of the rank and file to advise them on proper leadership selection then maybe some will begin to see the light.
“This time for sure!”
</Bullwinkle>
Mojo, what’s truly astounding is how many fools there are who will buy that “Rolex”, and think that they’re actually getting a “sweet deal” on a stolen watch: One of the not-so-bright bulbs in the factory I used to work in was more disappointed that the watch he’d just bought was phony (it was a very good imitation, but the tiara-symbol wasn’t right, and it didn’t say “Swiss Made” under the 6) than he would ever have felt shame at buying stolen goods.
Something for nothing goes a long way toward explaining the appeal of O!commie….
mojo
the other day Barney Frank said he’s going to cut military spending by 25%.
Twenty Five Percent
See it being covered anywhere in the MSM?
Now, what it McCain said he was going to cut Social Security by 25%? Or Education by 25%?
see, if it isn’t in the NYSlimes, it isn’t a news story.
This.is.too.good.to.be.true…
So the Greeeeeeeat Revolutionary! and tough guy terrorist! has the temerity to call for a police escort from his house to his car!
And what’s this stuff about private property anyway, Marxist…
You know, as a writer, you’d hope that Ayers understood the delicious irony involved here…
But he doesn’t; he’ll keep on spoutin’ all that crap about Marxism!, Revolution!, and The Man!
But when it comes right down to it, in the society of equals that he professes to want instituted, he and Dohrn are among the folk that would be, you know, just a little bit more equal than the rest of us plebes…
What a buffoonish, pusillanimous, trust fund terrorist!
Putz…
Nobody gives a fuck about Ayers because this is a nonstory. Sorry. Come up with a better way to pin the “radical terrorist commie fascist” label on Obama. This one sucks.
7.
Man-up, NanciesPerson-up, peoples.8. It’s you we don’t give a hoot about, fuck.
Nobody gives a fuck about Ayers
See, hoot gives it away again. For Obamaniacs only THEY count. If they dictate “there’s no story there” then that’s it or NO PIE FOR YOU!
Too bad Nicole Simpson wasn’t a CEO or something, then OJ would be teaching alongside Ayers.
“I’m rather impressed it was law enforcement who showed up, rather than Nation of Islam enforcers; since they’re the ones who actually maintain security in Hyde Park.”
The third largest police force in Illinois (behind Chicago’s and the State’s) is the University of Chicago Police (true, a good portion of them are Chicago police moonlighting). Now Ayers is University of Illinois at Chicago faculty so they are within rights to shoot first, but Obama and the Mrs. are/were UofC affiliated, and Ayers babysat their kids, so it’s not as straightforward as I would hope. Had a group of young NOI folk living on the floor below. Besides the pork thing, not much in common.
#11
Nah. This one works pretty well. You know/ lay down with dogs…….
Ayers is a pussy. Big tough revolutionary terrorist can’t think and walk at the same time. Weather underground, my ass.
But… but… hoot!
This isn’t about pinning Ayers on Obama, this is about pointing out the rank hypocrisy of an unrepentant, pig-offing socialist calling that same fuzz to escort the free press off his private property (which is theft!).
you’d hope that Ayers understood the delicious irony involved here
You’d have to assume that Ayers’s past beliefs were sincerely held instead of being Yet Another Means to the end of him getting to blow stuff up, rage at society, and otherwise get off on that heady business of Revolution, baby!
Well, some here think the many dead former friends of Obama is rather suspicious but that doesn’t make it a story. People here also believe the recent market turmoil is a conspiracy among Soros and “foreign hedge fund managers” to get Obama elected. Crazy thought and associations are not equal to sanity, sorry to say.
it’s all distracting from Phil Graham anyway. Any day now, hoot, will finally tell us who that is.
Ayers continues to have property rights and protections under the constitution. That sucks but there it is. I can’t just bug G Gordon Liddy’s house for the fuck of it, right?
I forgot…
Isn’t it fascinating to watch Ayers call the police to save his widdle self from the mean ol’ reporters…
Just like the zealous members of the same ideological crew felt justified into abusing the database of Ohio-in order to destroy the plebe that got out of line!
The very same bunch that has been crying FASCISM! for the last 8 years, and have the gall to talk about intelligence officers abusing their capabilities…
Hypocrites all; but I don’t despair one bit…
Remember, the hypocritical Pharisees got what was coming to them…
I don’t mean to insult an PW’ers bu inviking such a Godbothering rationale. And, I’m not trying to force any beliefs on y’all…
All I’m sayin’ is that it helps me keep a sanguine outlook. ‘Cuz I know that there is a greater Justice than the social variety that the left keeps on about. And that putzes like Ayers, Wright, and Dohrn, et al, just like Stalin and Pol Pot, will ultimately get what’s comin to them…
So vigilence; yes…Resistance; yes…But despair; not a bit…
I’m gettin’ the feeling that my prayers will be answered and O! won’t win this election…
But even if he does, I’m certain that good things will come out of it…
Stay strong all, and remember to vote!
Best Wishes…
oh, it’s extra comma day, again.
Oh maggie, you’re so cute. No go fuck yourself.
keep praying, Bob.
hoot isn’t paying attention, but then why should he? Obama is going to send him checks for not working.
Fuck morality, looting pays!
a bit touchy, are we? aaaaaw, perhaps if you were better able to back your crap up, we’d take you seriously. oh, I forgot you aren’t my mom. thank God.
Well, some here think the many dead former friends of Obama is rather suspicious
Do you have a list of these dead friends hoot?

There you go than. Proof that Ayers is reformed… main stream… repentant. He has property, and trusts the police.
Probably even paid taxes within the last decade a couple times.
Apologies, Bob. I meant that for “hoot,” drowner of penguins.
Under the new socialism, I thought Ayers house was mine too… I had it backwards. What’s mine is his and what is his is still his.
I’ll go restock the refrigerator with beer in case he needs one…
Socialism is the total opposite of capitalism/imperialism….Socialism means control of the productive forces for the good of the whole community instead of the few who live on hilltops and in mansions.
Ayers, Dorhn, et al. (1974). Prarie Fire: The Politics of Revolutionary Anti-Imperialism.
“Unless said mansion happens to be in Hyde Park, in which case I’ll call the pigs…er…Chicago’s Finest on your ass.”, understood.
#34 A direct paraphrase. Trying to pass it off as some deep philosophical insight… oh yeah. They were high.
Of course, the prols never create or take a risk. Nor do most capitalists or employers live on a hill or a mansion. What a bunch of fucktards.
Well, SPB, there has to be an elite intellectual class to point out the injustice. And the least we can do is give them special privileges under the new dispensation.
It’s only fair. After all, some pigs are more equal than others…
Ayers might want to examine the fate of Snowball.
Just sayin’.
No worries, Woodsy Owl; I understood your intent.
At PW, we know better than to engage in subjectivism, and make the meaning of anothers text our own…
Aside from being just wrong, we know the site owner will put a rhetorical submission hold on us if we do…

It’s only fair. After all, some pigs are more equal than others…
And mules live a long time. That line is becoming more real to me every day.
Ayers continues to have property rights and protections under the constitution.
True, and good thing, too. But that doesn’t mean Little Billy and his insane spouse are required to assert those rights. Wouldn’t a good socialist acquire the property, then throw it open to use by The People?
bodacious hoot, permanent grand champion
You googled “hoot” and that’s all you came up with? The proteinwisdom.com brownshirts are better than that! I expected stern emails and calls to my employer complaining about my nasty language. Or at least photos of my marble counter tops. C’mon people.
Hoot, it’s not as if we were O!’s minions and had access to your private info.
He doesn’t even get the irony of his brownshirts remark as he posts here.
Oh well. If I’m gonna be accused of it anyway…
OK. I got into the scotch pretty early today and I’m generally pissed off at the world so here goes:
The last time a democrat campaigned on a platform of middle class tax cuts was in ’92. Old enough to remember that hoot? Remember what came next? Six weeks into office, six fucking weeks, and he reneges (denounced) on that pledge. We are in for a reprise of that scene. Of course when he gets in he will day something like ” Bush messed this up worse than I thought so I’ll have to raise taxes to fix it.”
As much as I’m worried about domestic policy, it pales in comparison to foreign. The crisis that Biden speaks of is not hard to imagine. You have an absolute lunitic in control of Iran who would like nothing more than to ignite the world to bring about the return of the 12th imam. Israel will not go gently. Without the backing of the US, arab countries, along with Iran, will be emboldened to take action. If O makes good on his pledge to remove US forces from Iraq, it will only fuel the fire.
So, I have no problem with anyone who understand this and wants to vote for O. They are misguided but that is their choice. My problem is that he is running as a centrist who will be strong on national defense. A stealth candidate if you will. If he were honest and open and got elected, then so be it. At least the public knew what they were getting. As it stands, the public is voting for a “Post partisan, race healing uniter. He has shown himself to be anything but.
OK. I’m done. Say goodnight, Gracie.
Hoot, meet me behind the subway on 105th street. The green dumpster. I’m gonna kick your ass in a bad way. Oh wait, my bad. I thought I was in a sports forum. Hoot’s comments remind of me of one of them.
Rasmussen pegs Ayers’s favorables at 25% today.
Seems low. But it only counts the Yeah, I said it types and doofs who go “Sure, that guy!” to any name they’ve heard twice.
With the right set of electrodes, I think you’d catch him at a love that dare not speak rating at just under four times Rasmussen’s number.
But within the margin or error.
F!
Jeff, I was clearly referring to the mob of idiots here who will harass the employers of dissenting voices. What the fuck does this have to do with Obama?
It’s “lunatic” Big D. Speaking of irony.
Fuck yourself hoot. Your middle name is irony. Oh, thanks for pointing out the spelling mistake.
Hoot,
Irony. I don’t think that word means what you think it means.
What in the name of crazy are you talking about? Dissenting voices? Why be so vague? “Mob of idiots”? Why not be specific if you have a problem with a particular commenter (or any number more for that matter), name names, both so that you are clear and so that they can either defend themselves or make your case for you?
I think the word you were looking for is ‘Typo.”
Who harasses employers of “dissenting voices”?
What are you talking about? Have any cites?
Can’t Jeff. I’m banned. You know, cause of the pettiness.
You are not banned. If you have it, bring it. Otherwise, STFU.
I was clearly referring to the mob of idiots here who will harass the employers of dissenting voices.
Somebody must’ve complained to hoot’s manager after he screwed up another order at the drive-thru.
prolly, Phil Graham.
hoot’s channeling joey hairplugs, imagining things that never happened. Did the French help out harassing this person?
“Dissenting Voices” would not make a good band name. Unless it’s a commie band or sumthin’.
Hoot, I believe , refers to the events of a while back involving a certain “professor.” Big difference between dissenting and threatening, hoot.
Phil Graham
Still laughing about that one, maggie.
Hey, hooters, are you sure it wasn’t Dr. Phil, Kelsey Grammer, or Graham Kerr? Maybe Gram Parsons? Sylvester Graham? Billy Graham? Philip K. Dick? Punxsutawney Phil?
Martha Graham?
yeah, sometimes I think, “oh, it’s getting old” but then I remember it’s just such a perfect hoot moment. forever railing about how everyone doesn’t know crap and he can’t even get someone’s name right.
“Mob of Idiots” would be a good band name, or maybe “Assinine Boatload of Hoot.”
“Can’t Jeff. I’m banned. You know, cause of the pettiness.”
No, no, no. Because of the abject stupidity, you fucking moron.

Shoot, I need to turn trackbacks off maybe.
My family has a trust fund, and it’s as much your business as the sounds made by that strange man who is burying his burly cock into your wife. “Uh, uh, uh” said the burly man.
So there you go, wingered shit-fer-brains, your warning to leave my family and my family’s business out of your idiot ditherings else we discuss my fancy thoughts of your family.
LEAVE THOR’S TRUST FUND ALONE!
“My family has a trust fund,”
Bwarney Fwanck wants your money rich guy.
I don’t get how a socialist (thoi-boi) is OK with his family having a trust fund. Shouldn’t they be spreading the wealth around?
Bwarney has a boyfriend to support Thor. Just so you know.
And, I can rip on thoi-boy all I want w/o idiotic responses. The joy of being trollhammered.
Bwarney’s Fwanck and The Butt Darts
Bill Ayres is a complete moron, and Obama gets serious demerits for not handling this mess better. Ayres should have addressed the producer head-on instead of running into his house and calling the cops. What a galling weasel.
Don’t despair, Jeff. That’s premature. I may be left of center, but I and many more like me can cause severe dyspepsia to an Obama administration that thinks it can re-engineer society (and I really doubt he’s going to try). The economy, and by extension society, has taken a stark life of its own of late; it’s beyond control.
Really.
You are fat.
The economy never was and never will be a thing to control like a flying model airplane. That seems to be one of the hardest concepts to get across for some reason, despite the obvious facts staring us in the face.
Ha. 2 hrs. Gym. We’ll see who’s crying.
whatevs. you think people that can control hurricanes can’t handle something as simple as the economy? ROVE1!!!!11!!!
So Jeff, having once lived in a Socialist hell, Italy, did you note any absence of policeman?
Equal protection under the law is a doctrine shared in Socialist countries, is it not?
It’s when police don’t honor their call to duty that I despair.
“The economy never was and never will be a thing to control like a flying model airplane. ”
YES WE CAN! Come on we control the environment. Ask AlGore.
Well, thoi, than you would be mighty upset in Detroit …
“It’s when police don’t honor their call to duty that I despair.”
Whose duty commie pinko freak? The O! man?
The gall of moronic weasels aside, scoreboard shows Obama with a big lead. He must’a handled it to the satisfaction of the majority or patriotic Americans.
Sdferr: That is why I oppose governmental intervention or manipulation. Both candidates have kooky health care and tax schemes. Face it, sometimes the invisible hand just bitchslaps you.
cynn
at the very least McCain is trying to break up the employer/insurance industry strangle hold on insurance.
Why should purchasing health insurance be any different than buying auto insurance? Funny how when I change jobs I don’t lose my car/homeowners insurance.
Yes, it’s not widely appreciated how the employer-provided health plan setup benefits extremely large companies at the expense of smaller ones, and thus serves as a barrier to entry for competitors.
I’ll go with you happily up to the bitchslap part, cynn, excepting the bitchslap thingy only on account of my lack of understanding of its full implications. I mean, bitchslapping is a hooker-pimp thing isn’t it? Whereas market enforced business failure isn’t really a hooker-pimp thing so much as an army of johns saying to the hooker “thanks for the offer, but no thank you anyhow” and looking elsewhere for their service.
Funny how you health care fanatics make every state have different requirements. Man it is almost like you communists GAME THE SYSTEM?
SBP
and Obama’s plan to punish small business over healthcare will cost jobs.
But I suppose The One figures that’s just the cost of “fairness.”
It’s all part of that noble/serf societal model that the “progressives” like, Darleen.

You’re as dumb as Semanticleo.
Had it happened to G Gordon one of two things would have happened. Either the reporter would eat the mike or he would have engaged the reporter in conversation. He sure as shit wouldn’t call the local cops to escort him accross the street. Ayers is a fucking elitist, socialist, fascist, pussy. Can’t or won’t stand up for himself or what he believes in. Sort of like the guy whos political career he launched.Bernadeen says,’shit’, and Bill fills his pants
Michelle Obama has more balls than any of the so called men in the democratic party.
And you admire these people?
Tell me. What’s so admirable about them?
Rusty
Ayers suffers no pangs of conscience over letting his (then) girlfriend blow herself up making bombs for his plans.
And yet you can’t loosen up a grand to put where that hole all your bullshit drizzles from is? I call bullshit. Or, you’re a pussy.
Take your pick.
Trust fund? You’re a fag, thor. A fucking fag. And it has NOTHING to do with sucking a cock. You may (probably do, due to your confusion) but that’s ok. How much of your own money have you given to the less fortunate? Come on moron, let me know. Now, bitch. Now.
He’s a pussy! A pussy!
I am just saying that tax and health care schemes are just shiny things right now. Rusty, let me address your question about what is so admirable about “these people.” First, they are not admirable, rather they are enviable, because of the maddening ease with which they slipped a mickey to the old and new media. That’s impressive; therefore it must be a sign of competency and legitimacy.
Next, I support them because they have somehow made themselves a juggernaut, and therefore, I must support them because I am aligned with their party. It’s the old snowball thing.
Finally, off the top of my head, they have managed to toss quicklime onto the past and create a pure, ineffable image that wafts above any lingering smell. Just my impression.
hoot is one of the O! internet Brownshirt brigades…
putz…
I support them because they have somehow made themselves a juggernaut
just being a good German, eh, cynn?
Yep, Darleen. Goosestepping’s good for the thighs.
Sounds like a case of cranial rectimitis! Just my impression!!!
Thor,
My father was the son of beet framers in Nyssa, Oregon. He went to OSU and graduated with a BS in engineering. Got Fired in 1976 for whatever reason and decided to form his own company. He came up with the design for a smart building, one that would run itself. That concept seems rather mundane now, but no one was doing it in the late 70’s and early 80’s. If you live aroun d Dallas, you may have heard of Las Colinas. He built a good portion of it. My point here is that the son of beet farmers rose to build a great company. What have you done?
BTW, I have taken not a dime from my father. I figured if he coul;d do it on his own, so could I.
Beet framers makes no sense. I think I meant beet farmers. Could be the scotch.
Jeff,
Glen Goya 24 year old. Might want to try it if you get the chance. It’s a very nice single malt that I first found at the Metropolitan Grill in Vegas. You might have to look around for it, but it is well worth the effort.
My one run in with police in Bologna consisted of me taking a bus and not having the proper ticket. My wife (then my girlfriend), who spoke fluent Italian, was instructed to run home and come up with the “fine” money or else I was going to jail.
True story.
What that has to do with a guy who talks about fighting the Powers getting the police to hide him from a reporter’s producer I have no idea. But thor asked.
I wonder if his wife had any choice “facist pig” jokes when he got back inside his house.
“I call bullshit. Or, you’re a pussy.”
I’ll take both being true about hammerboi for a thousand, Pablo.
I support them because they have somehow made themselves a juggernaut
Silly one, dhimmis can’t have juggernauts.
This has to be a psychological disorder. This guy HATES, but yet he is the mirror image of what he hates. The reflected image of what he despises. The fact that he would call on the ones he HATES to protect him, only exposes that this is an underlying psychosis. This defies rationality. This guy is a bloated tick on the sweating back of tired ol’ Uncle Sam.
If I didn’t make it clear Thor, people that live off of their parents really piss me off.
Yeah I had that disorder until I was 22 Big Don. Looking back at myself I am disgusted. It can be cured simply by ceasing to lie. Do not lie to yourself most of all. Hard to look in the mirror when you will call yourself out on your own bullshit. Sucking off your parents hard work like a big fat bloated tick is hardly worthy of praise. Thor needs to take a serious look at his own bullshit,
Why do folks who have trust funds (she who shall not be named, Thor, Teddy K., Ayers etc) all have major psychoses? Cause and effect or are they all inbred?
Don’t see the problem with a trust fund, myself. Wish my folks had the wherewithal to have set one up and wish I could do the same for my nonexistent kids.
No problem with trust funds. My problem is with people who were born on third base and grew up thinking they hit a triple.
That’s from back when… Now you have to figure they expect those officers will be working for them in the shiny new Obama Administration. They’re not “pigs” when they work at your pleasure. The New Socialist World Order will always have need of “muscle” to enforce the Master’s will.
From,
“Blade Runner”
Oh, I don’t have a problem with folks with trust funds, it just seems that an awful lot of trust fund babies have issues. Maybe the optimal thing to do would be to confiscate 90% of the $$ in trust funds and redistribute the proceeds to SSI? It’s only fair, right? The O! did say that there would be a work requirement in his tax plan…
I wonder how fast the lawyer side of Dohrn would take to initiate a lawsuit to protect her wealth.
I would bet that it would be another fine example of the hypocracy of the left.
If you know anything about Los Colinas you know the Carpenter family had to be bailed out several times for that little venture in the shifting sands.
I think you missed the point. You’re bragging that your father didn’t stay an uneducated beet farmer. Well, then, you must be an Obama supporter. All Sister Palin and the Repubs are is a confederacy of beet farmers, don’t you know.
Oh, here’s your point. Fuckhead, rest assured that I’ve likely made a good deal more money than you. If not, then you’re doing very well. The fact my family has a trust doesn’t mean they are exceedingly rich nor does it mean I live off of it. A pussy-ass-son-of’a-beet-farming-hick like you has no right to assume such.
We have trust funds so that our future generations shall retain the wealth necessary to purchase influence in the American political system. We want to make sure your children, and their children, continue to suck goat dicks.
See how that works. You say something stupid and then I do the same. Goat dicks! Your children! Didn’t take me two seconds to match your wit. Connect the
goat dicksdots.See how that works. You say something stupid and then I do the same.
You try to out stupid thor you gonna lose, boy. Nobody brings the stupid like our old hammer head.
#105
I forgot about that, Darleen. I must have been 16 or 17 when all of that happened. In my world the content of a persons charachter counts.
Sad really. No matter what Ayers does for the rest of his life, he will never be a better man than those people he helped to murder.
Coward. That’s the word I was looking for. The man is a coward.
What has been interesting is watching the Federal Government step into private contracts made by adults with lending institutions… if the government can do that, on perfectly legal and valid contracts, then what legal vehicle can they NOT step into? 401(k) is a legal part of the ‘retirement’ concept and requires legal and authorizing documents to enact it and instantiate it by adults. It is a contract within the law to put that money aside into a region of the tax law with codes that were put down with them. Now we hear that *these* contracts are something government would like to step into and reneg on unilaterally… Trust Funds? Legal obligations instantiated via a contractual vehicle. Congress wouldn’t go after those to fund ‘social security’ and ‘secure retirement’ and ‘ensure payouts’?
Just spreading the wealth around!
When government feels it can over-ride the decisions of adults in perfectly legal and regulated areas to the benefit of governmental venues, without the approval of the individuals involved you are no longer in a system that ensures liberty. That is, at basis, anti-liberal. It is, however, socialist no matter if it is an internationalist, nationalist or nanny venue. With them it always starts with money… and ends up with blood on the streets and blood on the hands of the rulers.
Luckily the laws of nature overrule the laws of man, and the right and liberty to protect oneself and one’s property can be removed by no man nor by any man-made law. If that is what the Left wants, to be reminded of why the laws of man require civility and common assent with respect to the individual, then so be it. Civilization is not about ‘being nice’, but about being civil.
When incivility turns to uncivilized behavior, the ability to excuse such vanishes and the need for the individual to protect themselves from the savages is at hand. Mussolini damned well did get the trains to run on time and did have a well run police state. And the ‘liberals’ of his era lauded him, no end, even though he was a savage dictator who brooked no opposition. Don’t mind the blood in the streets, the horrific secret police and people who just ‘disappeared’ in the night.
Oh, here’s your point. Fuckhead, rest assured that I’ve likely made a good deal more money than you.
Perhaps true Thor. But there is no way you have made more than me. Care to wager?
Sure, old geezer, I’ll hick-wager you. Email Jeff and ask him for the amount I contributed last month to keep his voice free and strong. Double that amount by Paypal, personal check or money order. I will ask Jeff to email me when your funds clear.
“Nobody cares about the things you didn’t do.” Gordo-baby
