LMFAO.  It’s just so true.  Just when you think you’re an individual, there’s thousands out there just like you!

I guess that’s what you get for being a liberal democrat rather than the more mainstream Dem.

Heh my initial thought was “Nader supporter amongst a group of Democrats”.

To Troublesum——A few hours ago I made comments to
the article “Obama Asks Gay Bishop To Lead Pre-Inaugural Prayer.”  I, then, tried to e-mail the
article to friends.  My e-mail wasn’t sent.  I
received the following response from Truthdig, “Action Denied:  Blacklisted Item Found.”
I e-mailed the Webmaster for Truthdig.com and ask
why I received the “Action Denied: Blacklisted Item
Found” response to my e-mail.  Then, the article was
removed from the site.  Talking about Emerson, Thereau, Dickerson, and Whitman turning over in their
graves.  If anyone is going to make a comment to this
cartoon “Non-Conformist” you better hurry before it
is removed from the site.

It has come to this -  that nonconformity is simply a matter of fashion.  We are what we buy or don’t buy.  Emerson, Thereau, Dickenson, and Whitman are turning over in their graves.

Lately, I’ve been feeling like that shirtless guy among some Democrats regarding the Burris appointment. I just can’t understand why it’s so hard for Democrats not to soil where they live, and attack one another as viciously as Repubs would like.

Also, I’ve been feeling this way amongst Democrats vehemently against Gov. Paterson considering Caroline Kennedy to replace Clinton. After the 10% Congress approval rating, they still refuse changing the insiders for someone fresh?

I guess some can’t appreciate the concept that new brooms sweep clean.

I guess that’s what you get for being a liberal democrat rather than the more mainstream Dem.

Mr. Fish, That is so funny!  And at the same time, sadly, true.

Shirtless (emerging creator of the next google-like empire) accurately envisions huge potential in human fuels rather than their opinions.

read “no logo” by naomi klein.  this is exactly how advertisers market now.  uniforms that encourage “individuality,” and “rebellion.”  its so ironic that it hurts.

Mr. Fish, is that you on the right?

Thanks be for the non-conformists.

Shirtless in Gaza?
