The most interesting (but not surprising) thing, to me, is that it was Harry Reid who called Palin "shrill"--proving, once again, that when it comes to women, Democrats and Republicans are equal haters.

Not that my expectations of Reid have ever been high. It took him years to get his civil liberties score above 50.

That's why she is called the queen of pork. Seems like she has also been mentioned as having somehow enabled 'King of Pork', Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska - the old dude who, being unfamiliar with the internet in a 'hands on' kind of way described it as being "a series of tubes" and "not a truck".

Jerry, you're an ass. That you can even attempt to make a joke about racism, and judge my multi-branched family tree by one leaf hurts you more than me.

I didn't say all Republicans were racists. I said that MCCain and Palin were drawing the racists' votes. All voters Republicans, Democrats and Independents should be worried over that! If the flies and maggots are in the food you put on the table then maybe you need to take a whiff of what you're dishing up and then start fixing your windows and screens. You breed enough flies and it's a public health issue.

It's a pity you can't grasp the difference between a joke and a jab. Must be all that **winking** **shrugging** and **grinning** looks neurological. **poke**

Ahem. We return you now to our regularly scheduled political argument. Plenty to talk about there without taking whacks at each other.

Drawing according to Webster

1. To move or cause to move as if by pulling
(if they were already together there would be drawing them, would there?)

2.attract or provoke

3.extract

4.take or recieve

This is what I meant, and I thought that it would be understood in the same way you thought I would get your joke.
