Corporal, you ever watch “Monty Python and the Holy Grail?”

Probably not, I suspect.

There’s a scene in that movie featuring the Black Knight that reminds me a lot of you. As I read your post, I was hearing the Black Knight yelling “Come back here!! I’ll bite your legs off!!!!”

Mr. Bookman:

Doesn’t matter. It will be waiting for your return. You accused me falsely. I have stood up for you when you were right and others were jumping you. You know my background. I am not one of your normal blogers. Integrity has to mean something. Time to stand up and admit you were wrong and address the issue I raised fair and square.

I accused you accurately, corporal.

You have yet to cite a single pundit who warned of riots if Obama does not win the election. Instead, you have cited a fantasy football message board where anonymous posters raised that threat.

Maybe you don’t know the difference between a pundit and a punter? Integrity does matter. Integrity requires that unless you can cite pundits who made such a claim, you admit your error.

Listen to every troll on this blog trying to ball-tickle their way to Bookman’s heart and be the one chosen to blog in his stead.

RW(the ora-mangina….ew) would be the worst choice. The sellout hack of the year choice. He would simply cut and paste Limbaugh’s daily blog. He’s a parrot, this RW. He hasn’t written one word worth wiping me bum with ever. He belongs behind bars. He’s only here to filibuster. He’s a gumball machine.

Now me, on the other hand, would be an amazing choice for blog diplomat and gracious host. Only I can handle the exquisite nuanced verbosity that a blog king needs to have. Only I.

For the other side, I would suggest someone who has displayed restraint, and knows that the shroud of conservatism needs a new audience. I’d go with…….(stay tuned to find out who I would select as a worthy opponent in a blogging duel of right vs left.)

“I would say that he is well-equipped — physically, mentally and politically (for the presidency.” - Angela Merkel, Germany’s chancellor, today.

She also added that she “wouldn’t resist” a Bush-style back rub from the Land of Lincolner.

Aww Jay Bookman,

You were the only blog life left here and now you are gone. Wooten on vacation and catching all the Luckovich rejects..summertime and the blogs are not blooming except with idiots on most…

Could you leave a couple of topics, Jay? Daily rehash is regrettable. And don’t delegate any powers or heads will swell with pride!! We won’t be able to live with them.

Have fun. Stay cool. We’ll save many kind words to give you on your return…(Maybe!!!)

I’m not sure anyone wants to see a blog hosted by a name jacking psychotroll, so you’re out.

To Mike Hussein Smith:

Jay can do that if he wants to but he’s really emabarrassed because he trashed me last night, I proved him wrong with a multitude of websites that do address a certain issue he is ignoring (whether you like that issue or not), and he doesn’t want to admit it in front of everyone.

or ……… do you get to choose who is on the blog or not ?

I think we should listen for the Buffalo. After all, once all the oil is gone, we’ll have to go back to the old ways. Start by placing ear against ground being careful to avoid duhng heaps or else you will get an earful. Then, when you hear loud roar, it’s too late you just got stampeded. Next time, listen to tribal elders. You need to become one with the herd, hear the herd, and take cover before the herd reaches you. Then, take aim and take down as much of the herd as needed for meals and clothing. Do not be greedy or else herd will die off, you will no longer hear the herd, and you will die off from a lack of herd. Listen to the herd. Hear the herd. Become one with the herd for the herd is a lot of bull and a lot of bull is what we need especially now that Chief Sitting Bull (aka Bush) is in need of a replacement.

Sheesh, you guys, don’t you have any other blogs to call home?

Better yet, why don’t you start your own?

I know at one time there were herds of buffalo in Kentucky. (They used to migrate through the Cumberland Gap). Have there been buffalo herds in Georgia in the last 4 or 5 centuries? Anyone know?

Hey “private”,

Stop humping Jay’s leg kook.

If there are riots, you will be hiding under your bed and will be fine.
