Diminuitives are badass, but I do wish you could come up with more tasteful a way of mutilating my screen name.

I mean, come on! "Gigli?" Brooke, I'm holding you personally accountable for having started this. Under any other circumstances, I would be quick to inform you, that this means war! :rambo: But I did appreciate your praise, so I suppose I can let this one incident slide. :thumbsup:

You don't mind if I call you Brooke, do you? There, how's it feel now that the shoe is on the other foot? (Nothing like a good cliche, I always say.)

Medicinal, I'm glad to see you forgave me and that we're just as tight as before. I agree, that was a real scroll I pumped out back there. But I felt it was appropriate, given in what urgent need of drastic and thorough correction the Dixon piece was.

You're damn right that being right is very important to me, what, it isn't to you? Do you ever think to yourself, "Hmm, I think I'll settle for being right about two thirds of the time, and being in a shoddy, unclear kind of right at that." Especially when it comes to politics, and especially when it comes to issues of such current relevance, such as the deplorable ineptness of a presidential candidate who seems to be attracting supporters exponentially, it is ABSOLUTELY MANDATORY to me that I know my shit, and all of it. How are you going to hold this against me, or try to belittle me for it?

Your subsequent rant on petroleum interests pulling Iraqi strings is very much off topic, I think. We are talking about the CIA and bin Laden in the 1980s, how did you manage to bring the Iraq War into it? I understand you are very passionate about the issue, but this isn't a thread where I was looking to have that discussion.

So which is the thread to discuss it? Your post actually gave me an idea. I'm planning on writing a thread where I challenge your post's position. I'm hoping to have it up by tomorrow, or at the latest the day after. :dance: Hopefully no one will beat me to it before then.

I invite you to keep an eye out for it. I seriously would like your counter-post and nobody else's to be the very first one on it. :thumbsup: We can have ourselves a good ol' slugfest about it.
well, la-te da!
