A CNN report on the anti-GOP protests contains this gem:

At least 5,000 protesters stood on sidewalks Wednesday morning in a 3-mile line, waving pinks slips to highlight their dissatisfaction with the economy. The demonstration, which stretched from Wall Street to Madison Square Garden, formed a symbolic unemployment line for about 15 minutes to draw attention to the 8.2 million Americans unemployed as of July.


A "symbolic unemployment line"--you've got to love it. As we noted Tuesday, if these people actually were to look for work, the unemployment rate would rise, presumably hurting President Bush's re-election prospects. Bush is lucky his opponents are so lazy.

So they asked her; I agree I can't believe that they allow her to continue to be a be a Cl. You and I have agreed on very few topics but you have never been rude in anyone of them. She can take a lesson from you.

Renee have you ever met one of those protesters? Do you know anything about them? So why do you think that you are even the tinest bit qualified to judge how much respcet they get? Although I never agreed with much of what you said I admired your knowledge. I see you don't belong to the kinder gentler side of your party.

you are so right. I think it is easy to look down on people who are less fortunate, then we can say it was not dumb luck that we were blessed with what we have. We can chock it all up to our own hard work. To quote John Bradford, "there but for the grace of God, go I." It is scarey to realize that it could be us in the same state. and that is why I think people like to deny it. Sometimes, no matter how earnest a person is, no matter how hard he tries, no matter how hard a person works, bad things happen and recovery cannot be made. Nobody wants to think it could happen to them.

I haven't read all of Renee's posts but of the many that I have read I can say that she is direct, not rude. Renee is very well informed. I have learned a lot reading her posts, and am honored to have her as our CL.

Then you must find John Kerry vulgar, too, since this is a reference to *his* use of the *F* word in a Rolling Stone Magazine interview.

Curse words are against the TOS even when disguised. I know because I skirt this rule all the time and figure if I only use it for emphasis (instead of just every time I wish to type the name of the Democratic candidate for President) I won't be reprimanded for it.

Maybe you could research if any of these nice looking people used to work for Enron. Depending on how far up the ladder they were, you could still reasonably call them vermin.
