Smooth Running Democracies

If I had no idea what I was talking about, I'd actually be obscurantist. Such erudition and understanding as I have, you don't get to complain about. Not and stay honest, anyway. I like to stay honest.

To answer Lookout: somewhat more trenchant, perhaps, and as with most people, rather less organized. I've had stuff I've written passed around my old military unit as examples of clear and readable report writing.

No one has any business taking tw as a role model or a political advisor. That's the "we" in such acute question: most of the planet. Watching tw trying to do politics is like watching a thalidomide case try and play the bagpipes. There is that in his developmental history which prevents his ever being good at it.

That's just wrong. Thalidomide babies make great bagpipes.

I want a copy of UG's Thesaurus. It must be the unabridged edition.

Some wounds are so deep that scaring never goes away.
