You've obviously missed some important diaries.... (3.00 / 0)

"I have posted many diaries on Landrieu. I will refer you to the many who have lauded some of my diaries. My diaries are rigorous. Please reference my diary on the Petten Sea Wall. My diary on Hastert's bulldozer already discussed Hastert's resistance to the idea that New Orleans should be rebuilt. And I compare this statement to the Dutch government's response to similar threats and problems in a diary entitled "The Dutch Model." Both diaries can be found on the right margin of the opening page. I do not find these conversations epistemologically interesting or intellectual. I would rather focus your thoughts on my recent diaries. I sincerely believe we should remain focused, read my incisive diaries, and discuss my ideas in an amicable and a productive manner. I just do not understand why people who claim to have a genuine concern about our political situation are not reading and responding to my diaries. I am beginning to think that everyone here has very bad intentions, for if they were political, they would be engaging with me and my ideas. I really believe we need to focus on those things that are truly important: my diaries. Read my diaries, get informed, be edified, learn what I think should be discussed, and know what it means to be an intelligent Democrat. This is what I prescribe. Again, I posted information not discussed by anyone on the blog. Now read my penetrating diaries. The diaries I posted contained information not considered by others. I find my diaries very exciting, and I think you should read a few of them and use them as models. My diary provides a roll call and quotations for a US Senator about the White House's opposition to funding for Louisiana's coasts. I recommend everyone READ and RESPOND TO my rigorous presentation. It is really impressive. I recommend you read my diary entry on Vitter. I provide a list of Senators who voted against an amendment propsed on 23 JUNE 2005 in a diary I posted yesterday. I am shocked many of not responded to my diary. I recommend you read and respond to my rigorous and very thoughtful diary. I notice I have this remarkable ability to analyze polls and election returns, and I can synthesize and streamline this information almost effortlessly. This may explain why you have not responded to my diaries. Perhaps reading my diary entitled The McCaskill Strategy will help answer a few questions. I posted it last night, and I believe one can find it in the right column on the main page. I recommend you read it. It is also a particularly important time for readers to focus on my diaries. I wonder if I should even bother."

People... Sometimes it takes a lot of work to amuse the absolute shit out of myself. This was one of those times.

Re: p.p.s. (3.00 / 1)

-->p.p.s.: I have a PhD.

it is possible that you're kidding, but since there are no indicators of humor, such as smileys, in your comment, more likely than not you're serious, and in that case, you are full of it!

You need to get off you high-horse, rather Piled high and Deep horse. Gazillion people on this planet have PhDs, and those that flaunt this symbol of scholarship do not deserve the respect that comes with it.

CLICK to Draft Al Gore!
