Pretty funny right there if you ask me. It has it all: youth, defiance, idealism, hubris, body language, the death clinch, and last but often least for the medium, a fine sense of irony...

Same person? That only counts as one.

Maybe a Personal Best but hardly in the running for age class.

I'll share some of mine.  I got plenty.  They take up too much space around here.

and then there's the pile for being racist, its really big ...

in fact they are piling up right now in the Trump thread in absentia ...

I still come here to talk to people that I have become friends with, and I am certainly here for the music. But trying to expect most people to be civil to one another? I will not forget 2004.  

 

I was not here in 2004, but I do find it ironic that the similarities between Bush and Obama are not only manifested by their own actions, but in the response to them by their respective "so called" opponents.  In other words, the "right" or whatever they are, are doing the same thing to Obama when things are virtually unchanged between the 2 administrations. And yes, the "left" could always use a reminder that they behaved in exactly the same way they are railing against now when the "other guy" was in power.  The same ol same ol partisan crap is just that......crap.

Hhmph!! Upon closer review it would appear that I started this thread. 6 years ago. Who knew? I guess that is why I was interested in commenting on it here before scrolling back. Strange how we seem to keep going down the same rabbit holes..........
