I dont know Griff....but I understand where he is coming from here.

I'll take a different approach....you keep trolling and I'll keep posting facts (with cites) and questioning bullshit when I see it.

I thought Merc was crazy until I read Urbane Guerilla.

Now I realize that Merc isn't the fringe, Merc is where the fringe is stitched onto the jacket.

Ever since the Republican party imploded, Merc has lost a few stitches. When the last few pop loose, it will be interesting to see where he lands.

I guess if I was a Republican it would make a difference for me, but since I haven't voted a straight party ticket for over 10 years you can't count me in that club. I haven't lost any stitches, in fact I've gained stitches much closer to the middle.

You are a hopelessly partisan republican. You haven't got an independent bone in your body.

Everyone knows that.

You keep believing that buddy, if it suits your fantasies about the world.

But back on topic, instead of personalities on the one hand and failures of imagination burdening the other --

Franken's still ahead by 312 votes statewide. And the contest is still under legal appeal at time of posting. Approximately half the people in the state wanted the comedian?? For a Senator??? WTF? Wouldn't something not quite so Stuart Smalley be a better pick?

The praiseworthy thing about all this is that the principals in the matter are largely withholding any comment. It's the decent thing to do, and they're both doing it.

More than once you've shown you just can't get your head around how a sane man might not go along with just what richlevy thinks is good. Are you sure you have enough imagination? I'm not. The world is full of functional adults, rich, who actually think like adults and not enlarged children. I happily number myself in this good company, thanks.

To avoid for the remainder of your life an understanding that UG might be more righteous, more compassionate, more liberating, more just plain correct than you've ever been -- owing to values that are some improvement on yours -- you appear to pretend you're dealing with some kind of madman. It's a pretense, rich, and it's thinking like a kid.

It would be more fun if it wasnt so easy...debunking your "facts" is like taking candy from a baby.

Wait..I dont think I have ever seen you post a fact with a cite.
