Well, I might take back "acerbic" as something of an overstatement. "Scornful", however, certainly seems as apt as any word I can think of..

Audible shuffling back in the wings. The music director lifts his baton, waiting for cue.

Slow curtain rise. Early morning light. In the distant background, we see the White House but our attention is drawn to the large foreground dilapitated red brick tenement building, garbage bags strewn out front, a line of laundry hangs on a fire escape.

An old hinged wood window in the tenement flies open. We see a large black hand set a boombox on the sill and then press a button on the top as the music directors arm slashes the baton down like a sword.

A wave of sound swells up from the orchestra and crashes over wide-eyed and all-a-tingle audience.

The line of laundry...saggy men's underwear, a tshirt with holes, some nylons, a yellowing pillow case and a huge but immaculate woman's brassiere embroidered with stars and stripes...begins to sway with the powerful rythem of the crashing brass, soaring strings and willowy woodwinds, all riding on a pulsing bass line as insistent, as firm, as dependable and as unyeilding as a Republican's backbone.

The bashed and grafitti covered bright blue front door of the tenement slams open to the morning and a lawyer bursts out onto the littered sidewalk.

He takes a robust sniff of the morning air, turns towards the distant White House and briskly salutes. Setting his briefcase confidently down on the pile of garbage bags, he extends his arms wide, his manly chest expands and the first note charges out from his larnyx like a rhino from a mud wallow.

I think Blatham's just being resolute.

Really?

I thought he was being insistent, firm, dependable and unyielding.

Or inexorable, actually.

It's always a good thing when Bernie does it.

The intrepid lawyer is off to the cryogenic lab to have his precious bodily fluids preserved for future generations, he is wearing his best white and starched underwear for the occasion as well as a snub-nosed 38 special in a shoulder holster.

Ascerbic? Scornful? Moi?

You dont believe those words apply to your posts on the Politics board here? Seriously?

I was being sarcastic .... which just goes to show you don't have as firm a grasp on my online persona as you might imagine.

I submit that would say more about the disconnect that often occurs between people's self-perception and the impression they make on others, than about anything regarding your posts..

See above.

What I've said here is truth, and what I have always said here on A2K when I have been asked about my voting tendencies. So, if you think this is a "sudden need" to "burnish my Indie cred," you are just plain mistaken.

Oh, I dont doubt that it is the truth - I see no reason why you would lie about it. And it is perhaps also true that you would have said so if anyone had specifically asked about your voting tendencies. But saying anything kind or even nuanced about Democrats is certainly not something you have ever done much spontaneously; it seems to be a dont ask-dont tell kind of thing. So I'm glad to see you coming out of the closet, as it were.

I imagine that is true, as I don't tend to spontaneously prattle on about my voting habits unless someone is interested or asking a specific question concerning same.

Don't want my GOP club card revoked and all, you understand.

And you may or may not have noticed that my issues tend to be with leftists, not so much with Democrats. So, while I've supported and voted for Democrat in the past, by and large I don't tend to support or vote for a liberal Democrat. (I would, however, vote for Lieberman.)

I am glad to hear so. Here's to looking forward of seeing more of that open-minded, tolerant, modest and respectful persona on A2K as well.

I'm crushed that you don't find me to be that way. You are aware, are you not, that on occasion I participate in A2K threads outside the Politics forum? I suspect you will find me a smidge more likeable in that setting, since I tend to offend your political sensibilities.

Anxious rustling here and there throughout audience. Whispers rise.

"God, who'd he phuck to get this role?"
"Is there a vet in the house? That's one sick rhino"
"If this runs a second night, god is a drunk"
"$180 for THIS?"
"If we go now, we'll be able to get the car out easy"
