That was spectacular. Gopher's presentation of it as well.

Well played all.

Makes me feel just a touch better about the reps I sent you SirWilliam.

As a Clevelander after that Boston series last year I was glad to see him go. We may never win, but I sure as hell hope we never give up like that pathetic man-child did.

[Racism: The Great American Joke]

I couldn't agree more.

While your point about racism in politics is completely correct, it's even deeper than that. All politics in this country has become an exercise in scorched earth tactics.

I wonder what would happen to a candidate who ran on the platform, "I'm going to try and make as much money for myself as possible when I get elected. In doing that I'm going to try and get as much money for my constituents as possible so that you keep me in office. I will however not lie to you. I will tell you which lobby has my ear, who I accept gifts from and detail the rationale behind my every vote. I will practice self-interested altruism because what's good for you will end up benefiting me."
