The Magistrate.
   

The Magistrate lies in intensive care tonight, recovering from triple bypass surgery.

It was a long day for him but even longer for those of us who love and cherish this uniquely gifted, deeply insightful and impeccably droll man. His presence is treasured by us all; his absence would leave us inconsolable. We are deeply grateful to all the doctors and hospital staff who have worked so hard and so skillfully to keep him in our midst.

As you have so kindly done in the past, I hope you can take a minute to send Mag a shout-out that will lift his spirits as he sets out on the road to full recovery. He holds his DU friends in high esteem, and even appreciates his enemies for the amusement they provide.

So put a smile on the old man's face. It'll be the best post you can write tonight

He is or was (not a pun on his health issue) a mod over there.

A moonbat but always civil in his posts.

Thank God Almighty for the tremendous health care available to the wonderful citizens of the United States of America!

My prayers for The Maggot's quick and complete recovery.  I know the road he travels tonight.

I only really know of the Magistrate due to his numerous thread locks.

Nope. He's a loony. He's just not vulgar like the rest of them.

Who talks like this?  "He lies in intensive care."  How dramatic.

Well, there's another possible Ralph Wiggum persona that is gone.  I've gotten PM's over the years from DU'ers who have joined up claiming that I was "The Magistrate".

Best wishes on his recovery.

To be a successful mole you have to adopt a certain persona.

Yet, a turn of phrase uniquely appropriate to the Victorian language so favored by the man himself.  A moonbat indeed, but a civil gentleman withal, best wishes for a speedy recovery.  And now, off to the Ren Faire!

Foresooth. Thou dost shed tears for yon Magistrate,
Struck so cruelly a blow by fate's own hand,
Layest he there in quiet repose,
Gather round closely by friends for near and from far.

Knowest thou the deeds of yon Magistrate?
For he is well known I tell you,
Only in the ranks of those like him,
Bobolink, Spooked911, and others such doth he stand.

Cry not, I pray you, for the Magistrate,
He asks not for your tears,
Cry rather, pray you,for the leftist hordes,
Struck dumb in their loses this week.

Ah, poor Magistrate, I knew thee well...

Striking them makes them dumber? I didn't think of that. That takes all the fun out of my plans.
