and be aware your transparency page is visible and there is nothing humorous about your 12 nasty and well deserved hides. I'm only sorry that you didn't get a well deserved #13.

Al Gore is F** has been an internet meme for TEN YEARS.

I love Al Gore. I voted for Al Gore. I once dated a woman that was so in love with Al Gore that she dated me because I kinda looked like Al Gore.

I have seen An Inconvenient Truth 10 times.

I own two of his books.

Need I go further?????

You just made an insulting statement with no disarming sarcasm, just kidding, or anything of the sort.

If that was a meme you quoted, it must have died quickly, as it should have.

IF it's been an "internet meme for TEN YEARS", seems very few people have heard of it. 2460 results on Teh Google? It might as well not exist.

No surprise really, Cole is a natural conservative who managed to snap out of it for a while but his essential conservative nature has taken over again.

I read there for nearly fifteen years, even before Cole became liberal around the time of the Terri Shiavo brouhaha it was a funny place but it's not funny any more, it's become really mean spirited and I gradually stopped going there a few months ago.
