Illness creeps across the land

*
I'm dealing with a 5-year cold event here, so I haven't felt like showering you with my well considered and smoothly phrased opinions about what happened on 4 November. I will try to check in this evening, but right now I'm all about some comfy rest in the blue recliner.

13 comments:

  1. Your old friend Janet, here. I woke up Wednesday with a cold, sore throat, feeling an ice pick in my ear, etc. I guess it's the result of holding my breath for the last 6 months.

    I am still basking in the victory of reason over fear, but paying too much attention to politics has caused me to develop a conspiracy theory to rival the best of yours. (Perhaps a result of my delerium.)

    Karl Rove's permanent majority strategy required the Repubs to f*** things up so badly that recovery is next to impossible. So they fix it so a black Dem gets the opportunity to "fix it," (could'a been a female Dem) and when instant recovery doesn't happen, well they can run the table in the next election blaming the Dems.

    That will require them to purge the party of the far right wing nuts, (which they put in place to f*** things up) and present the "reasonable" repubs to an exhausted electorate.

    I hope my spelling, grammar and syntax meets with the approval of you, the simple country editor...

    Get well.

  2. you have more important things to do than care for yourself, SM...there are those of us who hang on your every blogged word, so get up and take one for the team!

    Also, I got kinda sick, too...wonder what it all means...I mean, it must mean SOMETHING relevant to this election. The timing is too convenient. Maybe we're all experiencing a sort of "Bradley Conversion Disorder"

    lol jk

  3. Rock Head-- I feel compelled to address your comment

  4. Jan: oh boy, a new commentator! However, I think it is still too soon for you to use real names, so you'll need to assign yourself a secret code identity before I do. I don't package my ideas as conspiracy theories, more as worries about what would happen if anyone inside the Republican power structure were even as intelligent as me, let alone Big Rock Head.

    BRH: I was thinking similar things about the onset of my disease. Lots of times people get sick after a huge expense of effort. My, and maybe your, huge effort was carrying stress about whether we were going to have martial law, or a coup, or whatever. I still don't think those worries are as outlandish as many people think. It might be that the financial collapse threw a monkey wrench into the plan to have Palin in the Oval Office by March. That was still as stupid plan, though: Lieberman might have made things really, really close for Obama --- close enough to steal in Ohio, Florida, and Virginia.

    Anon 2: I feel compelled to inform you that you failed to address BRH's comment.

  5. Does anyone but you know who I am? If so, speak up. The initials at the bottom of the next post after mine are what? Coincidence? Who is BRH?

    I'll try to figure out a pseudonym, but feel free to assign one to me.

    I'm feeling better tonight, but perhaps it's the wine.

  6. Jan: To the youth of America, "JK" means "just kidding". You sound as paranoid as "Chuck," always worrying about why The Committee was whispering behind his back. BRH is secret code for Big Rock Head. If you were a boy, I might assign you the code name "Jimp."

  7. who is this 'anon' that know my identity but refuses to reveal him or herself?!

    I think Jan needs something better, because all I see when I read that is the german name for John, or, perhaps more importantly, the name of my pet rat.

    May I suggest the name "Seagull"...you know, like JaNET, interNET, Al Gore, Gore and Violence, Stephen Seagal, Seagull.

    P.S. my verification word for this comment was "gynapic"...maybe sarah palin will release some of those now that she's done in politics.

  8. thank you Mr. Head. That clears everything up.

  9. I woke up in the middle of the night and realized what I read and how I misinterpreted it.
    Waited all day to come back and see what abuse was awaiting me. It was a rather coincidental bunch of letters however, no?

    Your caution to not use my real name prompted the ABSOLUTELY UNCHUCKLIKE response. Hrumph.

    This cold of mine is at least somewhat entertaining. I'm enjoying the light-headedness. The sore throat, not so much.

  10. BRH: I was thinking more of Tony The Tiger for Jan's handle.

    Anon: I don't think you'll get it until review your old "Get A Life" DVDs.

    IAMANIDIOT: No, no, no: StuporMundi will not tolerate self-degrading handles in his yard. You need something individualized and swell, such as Gurlitzer or or BrotherJanMcDuff.

  11. too many anons! At least enumerate your anonymity.

    If you don't like seagull, let me try another one!

    JANEt, JANE doe, do re mi, music, instruments, Wurlitzer, Gurlitzer!

    It truly is the perfect handle.
