1. Which is what he'll be, shortly- he's already halfway there.

[damntexdem]

7. Ooh, does that mean that the White House is a ...

half-way house? ;-)

[sui generis]

2. and he intends to have it stuffed and mounted in his trophy room

:rofl: at my own lame humor

I do it in public too on occasion :P

3. Naaah. Just looks like some guy.

While I think it's distinctly possible that Schimpanski will implode, he doesn't seem to be there yet.

We can always hope, though.

4. Maybe he's about to blurt out the secret of cold fusion...

...after all, Harriet Miers says he's the most brilliant man she's ever met.

6. Miers' hero

Harriet's assertion that Dubya is the most brilliant man she's ever met is in my opinion the single strongest argument against her nomination. And her sanity.

5. He's looking better this week than last.

I think you are stretching and seeing what you want to see. Relax. Down boy, down.

9. He's looked more like that in previous weeks. Your picture is not evidence

Try this one:




Since "HPA axis" appears in your post three times, you might have done those of us who are not as familiar with the jargon as you the favor of explaining what it means: Hypothalamic Pituitary Adrenal axis: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HPA_axis

11. did I offend you in some way?

what's your problem?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. Gosh, why are you so sensitive? You didn't offend me. If you had

Gosh, why are you so sensitive? It amazes me how people can't take the slightest amount of criticism, even when it constructive criticism from somebody clearly in agreement with their fundamental thesis. You didn't offend me. If you had, I wouldn't have bothered to post a picture that strengthens your case. And this is the thanks I get? OK. No problem, I'll continue learning and researching. (Thanks for the HPA concept, by the way.)

10. Hey G-W, there is room on the bench with your buddy Bill Bennett.

[Stephanie]
