It's also ironic to see someone with so little tact and total lack of charm or class suggesting I can't be elected for lack of charm when they use phrases like "shit sandwich".
Now THAT is funny. Like he knows anything about tact, class or charm....

Nonsense. The government of Radarland would be as minimalist as possible and have no revenue from which to fund anything other than the military and other life-support functions. In that world, how are the levels of poverty, sickness and education improved? If anything, there would be MORE poverty, MORE sickness and LESS education. If you want to choke off the supply of tax revenue then you get all private-sector supplied services.

One scenario: since the gummint has no tax money to build roads, that means that all roads are privately supplied meaning they are all toll-roads meaning you'll DIE on the way to the hospital because you can't pay the TOLL to get there because you forgot your WALLET - wait, there are NO public ambulances. Wait, there's only ONE hospital - for the wealthiest of citizens (no hospitals can be built with tax money) and since you are an elected official -a servant of the people, that probably doesn't include you - unless you are corrupt which for now, I'll assume you aren't. SO, you die and get to spend the rest of eternity roasting on a bar-b-que spit next to former president Reagan and y'all can spit and urinate on each other for ever and ever and ever.

Not such a pretty vision, now is it?

Here, I'll save you the trouble:

Beestie, you ignorant slut.

Love, Radar.

I like the acronym UT used... WOTR... World According to Radar.


Mostly because it pissed Radar off when he used it.

Yeah, its fun being a blithering idiot. Actually, I just got the idea of saving all Radar's posts about me (when he was still writing them), and taking them into my disability doctor. "See, Doc, here's a man who aspires to be a member of congress and he states I'm a "blithering idiot" and all the rest of the stuff Radar said about me (nice thing about short term memory loss, I forget; and I don't feel like looking it all up). The Doc looks at all that stuff and shakes his head, "Yes, my dear, you seem to be a hopeless case. I'm awarding you permanent disability for life." WOW! Thanks, Radar!

no, technically in any proper acronym you use the 4th letter of the 2nd word if you are creating it on the 3rd tuesday of a month with more than 3 letters in its name on a partially cloudy day after blinking 3 times with your left eye.

just wanted to clear up any confusion.

hmmm. well, first off, i don't think doctors get to award anything, do they? second, you act as if you'd be proud to be on perm disbility. like it is your goal. tsk tsk tsk. what happened to rehabilitating yourself through writing therapy or whatever so that you could start taking care of yourself agian? thirdly, by saying that you were a blithering idiot too, i was trying to take the wind out of your sails before you let them fill up.

It's a little tired by now, that's all. the whole martyr thing you two do. it must make you nuts that he put you on his list. it's fairly obvious that it does. don't you think that when radar is logged in under "spivey" that he sees it and laughs heartily to himself? is that what you want? no, i don't think so. so, my ADVICE. ( not a rule, bruce) is to ignore him too. not with the ignore feature, but with your buddhism. radar is but a wave breaking against your consciousness unless you let him in.

Sorry, but I don't log in under any name but Radar on any boards.
