Drawing room introductions?

[j2k4]

The drawing room can get a little heated on occasion and has an air of strong debate issues that the lounge does not.

Strong debate has an odor?

Gadzooks!

Instead of just letting any person who stumbles across the board join and introduce themselves we should have a rigorous interview policy to sort the riff-raff out.

All potential members should send in a CV and cover letter about what they feel they can bring to the forum with at least two references of character.

After an interview, spelling/grammar test and delousing they should then be voted in or out by a select group of members.

Of course, they will initially be under a 3 month probationary period.

Of course.
Brad Pitt for instance, is a well-known rhetoratician.

But you knew that.

Hi!

I like to doodle in the margins.

They can't touch you for it - apparently.

Don't be so certain about that, young man.
Has anyone ever explained the difference between a good touch and a bad touch to you?

Hobbes may have misled you.....

But ... but ...

Hobbes was so plausible.

I thought the three months probation a tad light.

I thought the three months probation a tad light.

Obviously that is followed by double-secret probation period of at least 9 months.

So was Bush...

We should really have a poll

Does j2 like bush

No need for a poll; here is the answer:

Keeping relativity in mind, and also the fact politicians live what must be described (at the very least) as an existence of compromised principles and expedient maleability, I should say I like him much better than I liked John Kerry, or currently (everlastingly, actually) Hillary Clinton, who is in the midst of attempting one of the great make-overs in recent political history in the form of a quick turn to the right.

This should prove interesting, because the more convincing she becomes, the more she will alienate her own base, which is insufficient to begin with; as to new Hillary fans, there will not be any, because they are already Republicans who know her ideology is as thin as the defective bolt of cloth she is cut from.

Bush hasn't got that special talent that allows him to abruptly change directions to accomodate new polling information and/or unexpected election results.

I view this as a distinctly positive trait.

BTW-I look forward with great interest to gauging the effectiveness of Dr. Howard Dean in his new role as head of the DNC.

YEEEEEHAW!!!!

I now return you to your regularly scheduled program...
