Mr. Sherman is of the opinion that Mr. Sornson does much better when

There's something about Sherman that makes one consider, however
briefly, throwing a stick in his spokes.

Especially if we consider the acts of terrorism by military forces,
government backed paramilitary forces and government paid mercenaries.

Why do you people ALWAYS remove the context of comments? What are you
afraid of?

Sheesh.

It's 'tenterhooks', a tent maker using such to suspend the work under

Luckily, readers don't take "third-person snipes" too seriously, Sunny.

It is bad. Is he buying carbon offsets to at least make up for that?

The nature of proper usenet quoting has been explained to you many
timess. Is it too complicated for you to understand? If so, I think
you should consider not posting so much -- you're not intelligent
enough to understand what's going on.

You should ask your teacher about this. And you might want to let
your parents know you're participating in an online discussion.

Sorni, where do you get your news? Something makes me think it's
mainly radio commentary (not newscasts), or perhaps TV. Saves you the
effort of reading.

Here's how I start my day (with Google news key to using a variety of

I don't specifically recall, but then I generally only see Ozark's posts
when someone else quotes them. I rarely read them directly. I'm glad
to hear he occasionally posts some good content.

There's no cabal, just that Republicans are not aggressive users (or abusers) of
the criminal justice system against their political opponents.

Remember the Clintons with hundreds of FBI files in the hands of a political
operative? Republicans don't pull that kind of ****.
