Yes, I admit, it is a stunt.  But it is a brilliant one.  Here is the situation:

Last week the House adjourned for the 5 week summer break.  Republicans were trying to force a vote on the oil drilling issue and on energy in gen…

In some experiments I was a tech on some twenty-five years ago we discovered as an aside that sulfur and iron under intense pressure produced a by product. Oil.

Whoa. Dude.

S + Fe + pressure –> Hs & Cs??

How much pressure are we talking about?

Sorry, Redskin’s fan had to watch Hall of Fame Inductions. I would love to hear your theories about 527’s of the Right. I thought it was maybe because the Swiftboat guys took so much heat that people are reluctant to lend their name to any aggressive ads. Good grief, they are a verb now. “You’ve been swiftboated.” The GOP from Tennessee did an ad on Mrs. Obama, which merely made use of clips of her speeches and you would have thought the world was coming to an end. I would love to see some conservative come up with some great ads, if you just read the conservative blogs you know they are a lot funnier. I promise you I have never felt the urge to laugh at George Soros and “Vote or Die” was a slogan I just couldn’t warm up to.

I am who I am. My intent is to provoke thought, and refute distortions. If I am wrong, feel free to point out where.

And an outstanding intent to have. It’s much needed. Quite frequently, actually.

In some experiments I was a tech on some twenty-five years ago we discovered as an aside that sulfur and iron under intense pressure produced a by product. Oil. No one made a big deal out of it because the experiments were about a weapons system and there was no time to pursue any extemporaneous findings outside of footnoting them.
Dr. Jerome Corsi who authored “Unfit for Command” wrote a book in 2005 titled “Black Gold Stranglehold” which takes up the politics and the science of oil.
The earth is like a great milk cow whose product is oil. If we use every form of energy available wisely, the oil will sustain us for thousands of years. Find it, pump it, let it rest, return and pump again.

I often wonder if it’s not a psychological disorder to get attached to e-friends on HA.

Aw, don’t say that! Heh, but there is something almost addicting about commenting though, especially when you have built up a rapport that allows you to disagree agreeably. One of my favorite things about AP frankly, and is true too of the special commenters here.

That was hilarious. I wonder if she has even a mm left that could yet be stretched or cut out.

You’ve got class. I always enjoy your comments.

You too Madison. The “Ms Madison” made me grin :)

You too RushBaby.

I often wonder if it’s not a psychological disorder to get attached to e-friends on HA. If it is, the cure is more HA :)

Ms Madison RE: too analytical.

You are correct. I will lighten up. Thanks for the feedback.
I would google a one-liner of self deprecating humor, but it would probably fail.

It’s all good.

Except I’m a Mr not a Ms.

And even if I was female I’d be a damn Miss or Mrs.

Fred Sanford: Who is it?
Nancy Pelosi: It’s Nancy!
Fred Sanford: Nancy who?
Nancy Pelosi: You know Nancy who! Open this door fool!
Fred Sanford: I can’t open the door!
Nancy Pelosi: Why not?
Fred Sanford: You too ugly!
Nancy Peolsi: But Fred, I need your help.
Fred Sanford: But, Nancy, I’m a junkman, not a plastic surgeon.

What’s wrong is that you took a joke that did not direct anything towards Reagan, and threw a goddamn hissy fit over it because of what you perceive as gross inaccuracy about which president it was attributed to. You strike me as the kind of person who would respond to a knock knock joke with “Why isn’t he using the doorbell?”

In other words, lighten up.
