Very noble of you. Of course, it might have been better if you had not preceded the offer with an insult. Naturally, rat was willing as long as he got an apology that he knows he has no chance of getting. And so we continue<br /><br />I blame you and WiO for this situation. First, WiO was unable to find the post where rat said whatever it was he was supposed to have said, rat denies it, and other than you no one else here remembers it. Strike one. Second, you are the one confirming WiO's charge. However, when you've been drinking you can't remember or interpret what was said a few posts back. Strike two. Third, why in the world would anyone believe a word the rat says. He is an anti-Semitic master-baiter who lies; yet, you guys eat up whatever tripe he feeds you.<br /><br />For a couple years now, the rest of us have had to wade through the sick shit you three put out.<br /><br />.

Now, they would disperse this group here, move that group over there, determine which group has a 'right' to live in this country or that, all apparently based on sectarian affiliation and whose friend they might be, or to be more exact as to whether they happen to be a friend of Israel's enemies.<br /><br />===========================================<br /><br />Unfortunately, It's a bit confusing given the way rat posted it.<br /><br />First, there is no context to the Quirk post. Was it Quirk that asked the question, <i>What right do the Shiites have to be in Sunni lands?</i> Actually, no, but it does look that way from the way rat posted it. It is shown as a quote. On the other hand, was it rat that made the comment that starts with <i>Da lobby is getting a bit uppity...</i> You might think so since there were no quotation marks used, nothing italicized but, no, it was Quirk that initially posted the comments. <br /><br />Confusing, no. Was the rat intentionally intending to deceive? The only other thing I can think of is that his blogging skills are deficient. <br /><br />But how can that be? Wasn't this the same rat that repeatedly lectured WiO and Allen because of their alleged lack of blogging skills? Didn't he emphasize the importance of using quotation marks or italics to identify quotes? Didn't he nag them about using bold for texts to emphasize and clarify? Is rat having trouble with his HTML?<br /><br />Naw, couldn't have been the rat's blogging skills. That would be too embarrassing for him after all the petty nitpicking he has done.<br /><br />Must be something else.<br /><br />.Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-53916843882983616382015-03-10T02:26:24.467-04:002015-03-10T02:26:24.467-04:00Finding it hard to get news about Tikrit.

At the 11th hour, they kicked the can down the road by providing only a week of additional funding.<br /><br />On the crime front, Maureen McDonnell, Virginia’s former first lady, drew a lenient sentence of a year and a day in prison for her participation in the tawdry petty corruption scheme that also led to the conviction last year of her husband, former Virginia Gov. Robert McDonnell. Once considered a prime contender for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination, McDonnell himself had been sentenced in January to two years in prison.<br /><br />For comic relief, there was the Idaho Republican state representative who, seemingly confused about the female anatomy, asked a doctor during a legislative hearing whether women could swallow small cameras to help doctors do remote gynecological exams. Even more hilarious was Nevada Republican legislator Michele Fiore expressing her belief that cancer is “a fungus” that can be cured by “flushing, let’s say, saltwater, sodium carbonate” through the body.<br /><br />While that comment immediately raced around the Internet, too, many news media felt compelled to note, as the Washington Post did: “Cancer is not a fungus. It is the uncontrolled division of abnormal human cells within the body. Saltwater cannot cure cancer.”<br />Not to be outdone back in Washington, Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe, the chairman of the Senate’s Environment and Public Works Committee, jumped aboard the party comedy train when he brought a snowball into the Senate chamber from the minuscule dusting of snow Washington got that day and said it proved there was no such thing as global warming.<br /><br />But a lion’s share of media attention on the GOP for much of the month was, rightly, devoted to former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani’s claiming that President Obama “doesn’t love America” because he “wasn’t brought up the way you were brought up and I was brought up through love of this country.”Deuce ☂https://www.blogger.com/profile/13472858446242700869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-49818829314385280162015-03-09T23:06:52.746-04:002015-03-09T23:06:52.746-04:00An outlook that has gotten Deuce in a lot or woe.

I was tucked in bed reading my favorite book when my tongue swelled up to the size of a cow’s, like the giant tongues I had seen in the glass display case at the neighborhood deli. At the same time, the far wall of my bedroom began to recede, becoming a tiny white rectangle floating somewhere in the distance. In the book I was holding, the typeface grew vast on the page. I was intrigued, I remember, but not afraid. Over the next six years, the same thing happened to me dozens of times.<br /><br />Forty years later, while working as a science writer, I stumbled on a scientific paper describing almost exactly what I had experienced. The paper attributed those otherworldly sensations to something called Alice in Wonderland syndrome, or its close cousin, Alice in Wonderland-like syndrome.<br /><br />People with Alice in Wonderland syndrome (AWS) perceive parts of their body to be changing size. For example, their feet may suddenly appear smaller and more distant, or their hands larger than they had been moments before. Those with the closely related Alice in Wonderland-like syndrome (AWLS) misperceive the size and distance of objects, seeing them as startlingly larger, smaller, fatter, or thinner than their natural state. People who experience both sensations, like I did, are classified as having AWLS...........<br /><br />http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2015/03/objects-in-brain-may-be-bigger-than-they-appear/387064/<br /><br /><br /><br />Objects in mirror are closer than they appear - I hate this.
