wow, man!

No spell check, or nothing? All he needs now is good typing skills and the patience to proof read, and journalism won't be the same.

I'm cutting myself up here. Just a little self-indulged satire. Pardon me, please!
  
Though...

ya know, your post reminds of the conversation we had over last weekends Memorial Day party, we were talking about Obama, someone had likened him to a political pedophile, which seemed to resonate with many who are from Chicago.

This is of course because.....

Obama is a candidate who has sprung from the primordial slime of Chicago politics.

He has good lawyers.

You should have seen Obama in action in Chicago. He was too afraid to run against actual candidates, so he and his attorneys, actually had his competition removed from the ballot.

Can you believe that? What a complete turn off, it’s just gross.

Even more gross, are the people who call it good strategy.

Right.

The people of Illinois had no choice, but to vote for Obama, in the democratic primary. he took all their choice away. No one else was on the ballot to run against Obama, because of his expertise in ballot manipulation. Well at least he has expertise in something..lol

I call that the strategy of a dictator, not of a democrat.

It is just plain creepy.

Do you really think the rest of us can take seriously someone who ignores the topic of a post to harp on their candidate likes and dislikes? I guess you do, but if you ever have a moment of clarity please consider - you're wrong.

Wow, the 'ludes really kicked in fast tonight, eh, Vid?

What does all your incoherent spewage have to do with the Spelling Bee? I link to a story about a kid doing something great, and you trip off into the daisies.

Well, there is no guerdon for your comment. Per usual.

Sometimes
By illinoismel May 30th 2008 at 11:56 pm EDT
I wonder. I have watched these before and they asked for it used in a sentence which means they have to associate it with the meaning. I just dearly love it when children are educated. Did you see it the other day with the champion of the world? They not only have to know where the country is, they have to tell you something about the country itself. Man, little bitty places that I have never heard of. No limits on the brain power of children.
The Geography Bee

That is what we practice for, though they have a spelling Bee at school too, the boys love Geography the best.
