 ->  -> Isn't it sad that with all that's going on in the country and the

 -> -> JO> I agree. 100% ->

-> So why don't you guys stop watching CNN?

 JO> Cause it's one of many sources.

One of many sources of things to complain about?  You some sort of
masochist?

 -> Did you see where Dan Blather accused CBS of dumbing down the news since
 -> his departure, and implied that Katie Couric is a tart?...

 JO> INRI  ...it ALSO stands for 'I Never Respond to Inplications :-)

Nonsense.  You are busily responding to mine right now.

 ->   I guess Dan's
 -> vision of the kind of responsible journalism we need is exemplified by
 -> his own hyping of faked-up documents right before an election.

 JO> ...nor guesses.

No guessing involved.  Rather hyped faked-up documents right before an
election.

 -> I started tuning the Paris jail drama out after I heard that the Sheriff
 -> had released her because she developed some sort of a rash.  I had
 -> cynical suspicions about where she may have developed such symptoms, and
 -> didn't want to hear any of the sordid details.  I already know more than
 -> I ever wanted to know about her filthy crotch.

 JO> Filthy crotch? A rare level of disdain :-)

It is true that I have disdain for her crotch.  Yuck!  You may
appreciate it if you like.

 -> And can you imagine someone with their own home-made porn movie all over
 -> the internet being all paranoid that someone in that jail might invade
 -> her privacy by taking a cellphone pic of her sitting on the toilet?

 JO> Sure. THAT photo would be in all the papers...

Maybe all over the internet, but why worry about that, given the porno
movie.

 JO> After the word 'privacy' I'd add 'again' ...:-|

Her 2004 sex movie thing was a self-inflicted invasion of her 'privacy',
and a boyfriend invasion of her privates and her oral cavity, out there
for all who are interested to see.

 ->  JO> It's a sad commentary on the general public's perspicatiousness (No
 ->  JO> HOPE of spelling that correctly :-)

 -> Which is also a sad commentary on your own.

 JO> If it's just THAT that evokes a dad commentary, I'm doing well.

Would that were the case. [;-)

 JO> =======================================

 JO> WRT Act28 ... The snake handlers (sects?),

 JO> as well as the 4 Sq. Churches and most Southern (And American) Baptists
 JO> base their approbation of such all refer to my cite, your interesting
 JO> comments notwithstanding.

Cite, please.  The Baptist denominations you mention, no way!  The
Foursquare churches as founded by Aimee Semple McPherson?  Probably
not - - not Appalachian enough.  As far as cites, please give some which
refer to Acts 28 for scriptural authority for the practice of
snake-handling, and I'll provide 3 for your one, all of which cite
Mark 16:17-18.  I don't think your little goddess-thingie will be
very happy with your paucity of knowledge in this matter.  You might
want to start with the Wikipedia articles on "Snake Handling" and on
"Church of God with Signs Following".

You know, you really should visit the US more often.  Might learn a bit.

 -> Maybe you could cajole one of your grandchildren (or a helpful
 -> schoolchild from your neighborhood) into giving you a Windows lesson on
 -> how to open more than one window at a time, access an online dictionary,
 -> (my fave is www.m-w.com) and return to what you were doing.  Or, there's
 -> the popular book - "Windows for Dummies".

 JO> Perhaps you could concentrate of content rather than form.

Bad form distracts from and dulls the intended message of good content.
It is hard to take seriously the recommendation of a person who thinks
the name of his favorite candidate for President is 'Oboma'.  We should
all strive for good quality in both form and content.

 JO> Dialog with a lessening of snide.

Snide can be fun, and is a cut above base rudeness.

 ->  JO> Which is why we have the government we do...:-(

 -> More elitist negativity; but I do agree there is an abundant supply  of
 -> dummies out there...

 JO> You manage to be snide when agreeing with me? Neat trick! :-)

We aims to please. [;-D.

 JO> re  Most of them seem to gravitate toward voting for Democrats.

Did you like my imitation of the posting style of a well-known
Fidonetter?

 JO> Even dummies can notice the smell...

As I recommended above, we should all strive for good quality in both
form and _content_.

 -> Since Harry Reid's job approval rating is even lower than
 -> Bush's, there is still hope the electorate will see their error, and
 -> vote accordingly.

I think I saw in Rasmussen today from Saturday's results - Harry Reid
and Scooter Libby have identical 'favorable' ratings, both at 19%.

With that, I gotta scoot - - -  JimH.
