The Primary Season is winding down, all the gifts are bought, wrapped, and under the tree. How many UIDs over 80000 will go inactive when the wrapping paper goes to the recycle bin?
Senator Kennedy is doing well. More power to the Last Living Liberal Lion!!
Arnold is down with the CA SC ruling. The wingnuts are going nuts. Life is good.
We have excellent chances to make inroads in traditionally Red Zones. We will pick up lots of seats in both houses.
It's been a few days since the last Hunter Rant Diary. It was a great one, meta potential dripping from every adverb.
However...
More or less below the fold.....
{By the way, the "below the fold" is an old newspaper term (you remember those, don't you?) describing the relative importance of real estate on the front page. The important stories and best reporters were above the fold, just under the headlines, the local news/less important, but still big big news was beneath the fold, and the minor news, entertainment, and the stuff they felt obligated to print but didn't really want you to see was inside. The truth about the Republicans, retractions, corrections, etc. was buried with the obits and want-ads.
Some people use the phrase "after the jump", another print holdover. "Continued on page 6-B" is a jump line.}
End History Lesson.
But so much MetaPotential© wasted, cast on the waters without so much as a ripple. (Speaking of Ripple, which was your poison of choice in your mis-spent youth, Ripple, Boone's Farm, Blue Nun, Thunderbird, MD 20-20, or that Annie's Stuff?)
We are in danger of becoming boring old fuddyduddies. Some have even resorted to posting quotes from LGF and redstate. What is wrong with us?
Our navels are being neglected. Lint is unpicked.
Puns are being missed.
Horrible grammar goes uncorrected.
Pronouns are shamelessly abused.
Margin Races aren't being waged with enthusiasm.
Words are invented, unchallenged.
Did Skippy really coin "Blogtopia®"?
When was the last time you saw an ümlaüt? Or a þ? Or 6.02X10²³? Where's the fun?
When was the last time you saw pointless blockquotes and things enbolded (Is that even a word or a mere desperate construct)?
Does the period or question mark go before or after the last parenthesis or quotation mark?
If a tree falls in the forest and the only person to hear it is the mime on whom it fell, does anybody care?
Our collective sense of humor is tatters. That is not good.
So, let's talk about talking about stuff.
Or talk about food. Or trade recipes. Or tell jokes. Or use lots of incomplete clauses to a fare-thee-well. Just not certain topics. Unless that's all you got.
How fast do you have to be to live blog the Preakness Stakes®?
Thank you. This has been random escapist meta from Central Carolina.
