Well, duh, yes...we noticed. Calling yourself a "Tincup" and saying you
are from "the moon" doesn't exactly suggest complete emotional maturity
or stability...while possessing a sort of playground skiprope sense of
humor that allows you to call people "ducks" and "trolls".
Psycholgically speaking, is the tincup half full or half empty?

Thank you, berry mush.

You mean...don't do as I do? What STATE are YOU in? Besides the state
of utter helplessness and total confusion?

OH BULL***!!! That is repulsive...gagingly nausaetingly stupid.
'Hoo-bleeping ray for all you'...hon, that ain't the way things happen.
Stop abusing people with this BULL***. AND STOP talking DOWN to
people. It's INSULTING.

Wouldn't it be better if you had some idea? Hey, do you have any kids?
Maybe you could sneak a peek at one of their civics texts.

You MEAN they can AMEND bills in there? Now...WHO would have GUESSED
THAT? That is surprising, isn't it?

Using the same crystal ball that you used to forsee that this bill was
going to be really, really good? Hey...we should get hold of whoever's
lame idea this was, then, and give them whatfer...doncha think? Tar and
feathers...run em outta town on a pole.

"Dog and pony" is the phrase, Sister Moonbeamcup, and that, plus a nice
pat on the head is what your beloved testimonial hearings are all
about...called "make nice with the voters".

Oh, Lord. REPLACED with a monster? Is it too late for a priest...an
exorcism? Hit the switch, Igor.

Yeah, well, I can't help but notice that it now seems that what you are
saying is that we are all worse than nowhere...

....and we have you largely to thank for it.
