My fellow Americans, there is nothing audacious about hope. Hope is what makes people buy lottery tickets instead of paying the bills. Hope is for the old gals feeding the slots in Atlantic City. It destroys the inner-city kid who quits school because he hopes he'll be a world-famous recording artist.

What's the difference between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama?

One is a well turned-out, good-looking, and let's be honest, pretty sexy piece of eye-candy.

The other kills her own food.

At the moment, in your case, sir, it means you're viewed favorably 7 times more than you're viewed unfavorably.

It's not a bad distinction, 7-1.

No one knows -- it is anonymous.  I try to keep my minus and plus count about even.

I'd still like to know who gave me my 20th - though.

I was -19 forever, and then out of the blue, -20 showed up.

Sometimes some people just BS everyone who posts on a H5/BS thread.  Or so I have heard.

The nocturnally foul one has the largest deficit here.

+16/-5024

I will be candid and frankly admit I gave him all, or most, of his +s.

I wanted to keep the nocturnally foul one aboard, and alas it wasn't enough.

Don't worry about it - his abandoning us has raised the overall IQ here significantly.

That it did, but I'm all in favor of diversity.

Idiots need representation too.

I'm not sure, but I think the much-maligned John Matrix is second in a deficit, +101, -2806.

I always thought John Matrix a nice guy, but obviously I was a minority.

I gave him at least two H5.  I like the kid, although he is young and naive about many things.  I only had a problem with him when he was rude to others for no reason.

That was, and remains, the nocturnally foul one's main problem.

Now wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

What is this?

What is this about Democrats, liberals, and primitives who don't read their alleged icon John F. Kennedy?

Like the part about it being America's destiny to ".....bear any burden, pay any price....." so that others can enjoy the blessings and fruits of liberty and freedom?

And in this particular instance, the part about ".....ask not what your country can do for you, but rather ask what you can do for your country....."

I think Democrats, liberals, and primitives should pay more attention to what John F. Kennedy said.

Ask not what a web-site can do for you, but rather ask what you can do for a web-site.

It's just that typical Democrat-liberal-primitive mindset.

"Other people" are supposed to give (money, or in this particular case, insight or wisdom or snark).

The Democrat, liberal, or primitive preaching "giving" is under no obligation to practice what he advocates.

Vast Teddy is the most obvious example of this, the way others are forced to pay for his "social conscience" while he gets all the credit for being so kind, so generous, so magnanimous.....all the while Vast Teddy keeping all he has, and always looking for more.

I think it's a rather stupid way to be, but consider who these people are.

Can you imagine, for example, the subway cat giving, rather than taking?
